Averages
26 Points
'Oregon State College,
vallis Wad "Swede"
Cor-Hsl-
brook, Oregon State's answer
to the cage giants across the
nation, poured In 28 points
gainst the University of Port
land last week-end to run his
three-gims point total to 78
an average of 26 0 per con
test. The T foot I Inch sophomore,
getting better with each start,
not only has scored points, but
has shot at a .580 clip In the
field goal department.' He's
connected on 18 out of 50 at
tempts from the field, hit 20
out of 31 from the charity lane
and plucked off 61 rebounds
In the three games his team
has won.
Mast encouraging news,
however, was the return to
form of Forward Tony Vlss
tellca, the squad's high scorer
a year 'ago. Vlastellca started
his first game of the season and
did a masterful job of shooting
in the third period to break
up what had been a close ball
game. He made nine field goals
and five free throws for 23
points, scoring 13 Important
counters in that third period.
Generally, Coach Slats GUI
thought the Beavers looked
much better than In the earlier
contests against Hawaii. The
Beavers now swing into the
tough part of the schedule,
with no more potential "breath
ers" on the slate. Nebraska
plays here next Saturday
night, and the following Mon
day and Tuesday Indiana, the
national champion, comes west
for a two-game series with
OSC. After that, the Orange
head east to meet Ohio State
and play In the famed Dixie
classic at Raleigh, N. C.

day by an Amateur Athletic
Union investigation.
The probe, growing out of a
Europea tour by an American
track team last summer, was
disclosed Monday night by
Dan Ferris, AAU secretary,
who said it concerned alleg
ed violations of the amateur
rules by the pair.
If the charges are provided,
Ferris said, both runners could !
be barred for life. I
They are not under any;
form of suspension at the pres
ent "because right now the
evidence is too thin," Ferris
said. He added, however, that
the charges under investiga
tion for nearly four months,
hsd barred either man from
consideration for the Sullivan
Award, the AAU's highest
honor to an amateur athlete.
Both Whitfield and Santee
were omitted when the list of
eight athletes eligible for the
coveted award was announced
