With Billy Beard showing the way, the Bearcats' gridiron ma chine rhymed little better than did the Poets'. Both aggregations swung into tune long enough in the initial period to crack the u-nm board for points each, and it wasn't until midway of the final canto that Beard intercepted Kunishima's pass on his own 45 and pounded down the north side lines to the Whlttier 9-yard stripe before Winelnger nailed him. Beard, on ' the third plunge, went through right tackle from the Poets' three to break the 6-6 deadlock and give the Bearcats their second win of the season. Welsgerber's conversion attempt sailed true for point number 13. The Bards hit the right meter first when the fiery little Japa nese quarter, Kunisbima, flipped an aerial slant into the end zone to JackShuler from the Willam ette 18H-yrd marker. A partly blocked punt that Beard attempt ed to get off from his own 23, and which caromed out of bounds on the 35, led to the Whittier in vasion of Willamette soil.

One pass at" tempted, and one completed, was the record In the goalward march that saw Beard, Welsgerber and Burnett alternating at lugging the pigskin for four consecutive first 1 downs. The pass,' Beard to Wea- had marched from its own 23 ver, was good for eight of the 56- yard marker. Bishop, took the ball yard march."
