HAYWARD FIELD, Eugeno,
Nov. 16. (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.
Coach John J. McEwnn's green
shirted , Webf eet made a, field goal
in the' first quarter;" 'sr. touchdown
in the second and the last totinh
d own in the, last minuto of play
of the game to the cheers of 17,
000 fans who attended the annual
Oregon home-coming. 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. '
The Oregon defensive was im
penetrable when the goal line was
In danger and In the third quarter
stopped the Staters after Sherwood
had run a blocked punt to Ore
gon's five yard line. 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.
