While these surprising Orangemen were handed a safety late in the game to make the final score read 9 to 6 in their favor oyer a team rated far above them, it was Durdan's amazing pay dirt scamper away ; .back in the. early part of the sec ond quarter that, together with Quarterback Warren Sinus fol lowing conversion' from place ment, put the upset in the records. Durdan, who also plays both basketball and baseball. for the Beaver Vams, pat some of all three sports - Into that all-important scamper which was . one of, the prettiest this observ er ever saw on a football field. Oregon State had Just taken the ball on its own ro-yard line as the result of a Washington punt over "the goal line. On the first play Djirdan drove at right tackle, saw no hole, slanted off to his right, stood still in the line of scrimmage, faked to his left again and then began moving to his right and to the sidelines. Bis blockers picked him np ' ; and be sprinted down he side 1 lines to abont the Washington . 45, Where only . fleet Ernie' ' . Steele, the Bosky safety man, ' was between him and the goal : line. Durdan slowed up, faked Steele to the left in the manner of a basketeer, took a couple more steps, faked Steele once more Just enough to allow a teammate to nudge Steele out of the path ' and then tore' goal ward. He crossed standing up, after a Washington tackier made a last desperate ' effort to haul him down from behind with a lunge that just grazed one of Durdan's flying heels. - From there these Staters, who - lost a beartbreaker to Southern California last weeh, (Turn to Page 6, Col. 4) Brandeis in Coma State WASHINGTON, Oct.

No argument met therst presentation of the property con trol ordinance, outgrowth of com mittee study and said to be de signed for efficient handling of city-owned real estate. Tom Armstrong, chairman of the city airport committee, said Saturday night that because mem bers of his committee had been out of the city there probably would be no recommendation as to selection of an architect to de sign the new airport administra tion building. However, he declared, the council would be asked to au thorize laying- of temporary above-ground pipelines to the airport to provide city water for as many as 2000 men the army air corps plans to have encamped there at some time this month during air maneu vers in this area. A resolution declaring the coun til's attitude favorable toward es tablishment of an army airbase near the city airport also will be presented, Armstrong said.

Mr. Roosevelt will confer with I congressional leaders of both par ties regarding neutrality amend ments next Tuesday. There have been indications that he would suggest only that the present law be amended to permit the arming of American merchant ships.
