Coach John Robinson had his freshmen donned in black shirts and orange helmets prior to the scrimmage session, judged "the best of the season" by tackle Ron Snidow and guard Mickey Ording. The freshmen reported for the scrimmage by doing front rolls emblematic of the OSU Orangemen. They also used the elevated shift, but Instead of the touted "B and B" OSU offensive weapon (the passing combination of quarterback Ter ry Baker and end Vern Burke). Robinson had a "P and P" com bo Doug Post, varsity quarter back, who was injured before the season began, and Ray Palm, highly-regarded freshman end from Roseburg. And the tan dem hit an alarming number of long 40-yarders and short 15 yard aerials. Most of the one hour session was devoted to offense and, after the Webfoots had chewed up Hayward Field to a condition that will likely be comparable to OSU's Parker Stadium turf, coach Len Casanova said, "It was a spirited and satisfying practice." The only casualty was guard Bill Del Baggio, who suffered a cut lower lip that required six stitches. It did not come during the scrimmage, but in the usual body-contact line drill. "I don't seem to be able to stay out of here," the senior guard said after Dr. George Guldager and trainer Bob Officer cared for his wound in "Misery Hall," the McArthur Court training room. Snidow, Ording, Del Baggio and the other 12 seniors have yet to defeat Oregon State. The OSU Beavers won 6-2 here last year and in 1960 at Corvallis the score was 14-14. That, and the disappointing 26-7 loss to Ohio State had something to do with the spirited drill. The practice was supposed to have been closed, but there were a few observers. As one mem ber of the coaching staff said, "We're guarding the gates with Brownies and Camp Fire Girls."

And if the trend set by each team in the first nine games this season means anything, it will be the offenses, rather than the defenses, that decide the eventual outcome. The Beavers, the nation's second-ranked offensive outfit, (392.1 yards per game), have been sharpening up for the Sat urday clash behind locked gates in Corvallis while Oregon, No. 4 in the offensive standings (367.2 yards), has been tuning up its offense in preparation. Both teams and an assured capacity crowd of some 28,000 are hoping for a dry field Sat urday, but the weather is work ing against them. The Oregon State-Colorado State game last weekend was played on a soggy field and, by the game's end, much of the turf had been torn loose, leav ing the field looking like a marsh. A tarp was put over the field Monday, but not before heavy rains had pelted the field. Bevos Lose $35,000 During 1962 Season PORTLAND (UPD The Port land Beavers of the Pacific Coast League suffered a net loss of about $35,000 during the 1962 season, the board of direc tors reported Tuesday. The loss was about the same as in 1961. All seven members of the board of directors were re-elected.

OF to Well, that's a Turkey I mm, M I n ill ml CONTRACT PLUMBING I CHAPMAN Has Plumbing mi tin co, AND HEATING 242 West BRAND-NAME PRODUCTS Dl 4-6225 Oregon assistant coach rhil McHugh says he thinks the wet field will work to the advantage of Oregon State, cutting down on the speed of Wcbfoot backs particularly Mel Renfro, the nation's 12th leading rusher with 678 yards. Beaver assistant Jerrv Lone disagrees. "We want a dry field and think a wet field would hurt our chances." Presumably. he feels wet turf will cut down on OSU's passing game, its most potent offensive weapon. Terry Baker, ranked third among the nation's college pass ers, has tossed 13 touchdown passes, nine of which have gone to Vern Burke, the country's top pass receiver. Burke's 66 rcccDtions not only lead the nation this fall, but tie him with Hugh Camp bell of Washington State for the collegiate one season record. Baker, also dangerous as a runner, has gained more than any other college player this season (511 rushing, 1684 pass ing, 2,159 total) and now ranks second on the list of all-time ground gainers. Coaches have been hesitant to say much about their prepara tions for the game all week as tension has mounted. The tension was reaching such a peak in Corvallis, said Long Tuesday, "the coaches arc even irritable with each other." McHugh would not say much except, "We feel it will take our best effort of the year to win." Beaver head master Tommy Prothro was just about as non commital. "1 think our team will be up for the game," he told members of the Beaver Club in Corvallis Tuesday. "I'm sure Oregon will be." Both teams have certain ad vantages over the other, accord ing to Prothro. "Oregon has the size, speed and experience. I believe we have some talents they don't have, too." He mentioned such things as poise and character. "We'll be hard to beat, I know," he said, "but so will Oregon." He also claimed having played two weak teams in a row, Idaho and Colorado State, has hurt the Beavers. "Our team has definitely lost the fine edge it had three weeks ago." Then he hinted that maybe the press has been trying to even out the two teams either to help build up game interest or to let Oregon know the Bea vers shouldn t be too lightly regarded. AH year, in the press, Ore gon has been superior. I sun don't want to be inferior to them for nine weeks and then have to bo equal to them the last week." am, kinds w PLYWOOD TIIKKCT Mll.l.
