(JP) Oregon State col lege's grid men faltered in their chances to score today In the an nual state foothall classic with the UnlverBtiy of Oregon and when tho final guns sounded Oregon had cashed In on two breaks and an earned drive to take the civil wav, 16 to 0.

This was Oregon's first win on their home, field since 1919 and by the win they broke what had become known as the "Hayward field jinx." It was a gallant band of Oregon State Beavers that trotted out on the field., and although they were on the short end of the score throughout. Coach Paul Schissler'a team actually piled up 133 yards from scrimmage to 84 yards for Oregon, indicating the aggressive type of football the Orangeman played.

Three drives at the line netted not a- yard for the Orangemen. Although Oregon had previously given away before four successive first downs in steady drives through Oregon ter ritory. The third quarter was testing time for Oregon nornuso of the loss of Johnny Kitzmiller the "Fly ing Dutchman, " who on the firU play of the hist half suffered a fractured ankle which. It was of ficially announced, will keep him out of the game for the remainder of the season. Though Oregon Stnte al.oo lost the services of, Captain Kussell Striff on the same play, the Orangemen took advantage of the lowered Oregon morale 'because of Kltzmlller's loss and several times were in scoring territory but could not wedge through the Oregon line.
