The triumph evened the score in the annual four-game series, both teams splitting series here and in Corvallls. Oregon posted a mildly surprising 42-3S victory at Corvallls Friday night. Oregon's defeat takes some ot the spice, out of the coming Wash ington State series, closing the lo cal collegiate season here next week-end. Anderson Leads Early' Attack . . rland Anderson, . blond thatched sophomore from Silver ton, gave the Beavers the lead in the first 30 seconds of play when he connected with two freethrows and added a fielder on a clcee-in hook shot a minute later. Fresh man Tommy Holman pushed one in from behind the key and Ore gon State held a 6-0 advantage with only two and one-half min utes gone. Roger Wiley tipped in Rolph Fuhrman's missed freethrow 15 seconds later for Oregon's first score, but Anderson faked around Wiley and scored. After UV4 minutes, with OSC leading 13-6, Coach Howard Hobson substituted an entire new lineup, changing from a badly outplayed man-for-man defense to a zone. Glen Warren tallied soon after ward, but it was the last Beaver field goal against the zone until Don Durdan tallied on a nice fake and hook shot 1n the final minute of the period. In building up a 17-10 halftime lead, Oregon State's zone held the Webfoots to two field goals during an eight-minute period, and only four during the half. OSC Makes 30 Passes Slats Gill must have ordered his Orangemen to play conserva tively with a seven-point lead at the start of the second half, and the Beavers tossed the ball around with 30 exchanges for 7S seconds before Don Cecil missed a shot. Little Stan Williamson, freshman from Astoria, scored a freethrow and then drove the length of the floor to sag the hemp with a push ADDITIONAL SPORTS SEE PAGE 16 shot to narrow the margin to 17 3. It was then that Bill Taitt, sparkling freshman from Portland, paced a hard-driving Beaver at tack that gradually- built up a commanding 16-polnt, 40-24. lead with three minutes of playing time remaining. The Oregons went back to their man-for-man defense three minutes before, but OSC added six points td its lead during that interval Oregon, definitely off their game and missing miserably from the field and freethrow line, bat' tied to the final minute' to keep alive their title hopes. Durdan, playing -his last hoop contest against the Oregons (thank goodness, someone said) was the key man on the hard-charging block plays early in the garni an attack that apparently broke Oregon s hopes and hearts. The officiating was poorly han dled, Emil Piluso giving his worst performance in the local pavilion. The questionable whistle-tooting probably had no bearing on tne eventual outcome of the contest because the fouls and violations called hit both teams.

Jim Paddock, outstanding Oak ridge forward, captured second place with 39 points and an aver age oi 13 per game, -rancis Heitzman, cool-headed St Mary i long-shot artist, gained third place with 35 points and an ll-polnt plus' game average. v Dowdy, rated by many railblrds as the greatest "B" lesguer In years, failed to live up to his 1942 performance of 54 points In games, due probably to the close checking of Tom Pendergast in the championship game. Dowdy was far ahead ot the field for the-No. 1 spot, but the second and third places had little more than two points difference.

Street cars were crowded from early morning with riders scram bling for seats and standing room as vigorously as customers at a bargain counter sale in the depart ment stores. At San Mateo, hundreds of fans waited for horse-drawn accomo dations provided by Bay Meadows to haul them to the track, a mile and three-quarters distant. William P.

The little mechanical man from Notre Dame uncorked a final lap sprint that left Oliver' Hunter of Notre Dame, the second man, 20 yards back, with Roy Phillips ot Tufts a far third. Rhode Island State's team of Ed Dahl, Jim Cole, Joe Hall and Fred Crowell captured the first of the mile relays In 3:24.9. Col gate took second honors and Holy Cross was third, Hugh Short, Georgetown's great quarter-roller, bowed out of Inter-collegiate competition by taking the Buermeyer 500-yard run for his third straight victory over the boards this season in 58 seconds.
