(U.R) Wade (Swede) Halbrook, Oregon State's 7-foot, . 3-inch all-coast basketball center, has been sus pended from school, according to an announcement yesterday by E. B. Lemon, dean of admin istration. The high-point center was written a letter Friday by Dr. D. T. Ordeman, registrar, in forming him of his suspension effective Saturday for failure to attend classes. Halbrook, 22, was reported out of town. . Earlier, Coach A. T. (Slats) Gill said he had been informed by college authorities that his star center was going to be suspended. Coach Feels Bad He said he felt "bad" about the situation but that there was nothing he could do about it. He said it was up to college authorities. Halbrook was suspended from the Oregon State squad last win ter for what Gill called "his attitude." However, he was later reinstated and led- the Beavers to the Pacific Coast Conference title. Academic Troubles Halbrook, who racked up 1005 points in two seasons second highest in the school's history also had academic troubles last year and was not eligible to play until winter term of the cur rent school year. The registrar's office said it gets reports from professors whenever a student is absent from classes without reason for more than a week. Apparently several of these reports came to the registrar's attention, bring ing about the cancellation of Halbronk's registration. He would have to petition the college and be approved befors he could be readmitted. . Oakland Downs SF Seals, 11-3 Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Chuck Stevens' error on George Metko vich's grounder opened the gate for four Oakland runs in the seventh inning that broke s 2-2 tie and helped the Oaks to an 11-3 victory over San Francisco Saturday.
