uou-s terry Baker Uett; and Uregon's Bob Berry: Quarterbacks Collide Saturday
Oregon Grid
Drill Sparked
By? and F
Oregon's Webfoots staged a
realistic practice session on Hay
ward Field Tuesday afternoon
in preparation for the grid
grand finale against Oregon
State at Corvallis Saturday.
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."

Offensive Battle Expected Saturday
Uregon btate Ranks Second in Yards Gained, Oregon Fourth
The mud may prove whose
offense, Oregon's or Oregon
State's is really best this week
end when the two teams battle
for the 66th time at Parker
Stadium in Corvallis.
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.

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."
