SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL. TRIBUNE Monday.

On ground is -Washington's center, Earl Monlux, Washing ton went on to a final 19-7 win. , Washington Tops Oregon; Beavers To Get Big Test Br HOWARD APPLEGATE Portland (U.R) Oregon State gets its big test Friday night against UCLA's mighty Bruins in Los Angeles, while Oregon's bruised Webfoots, 19-7 losers to Washington in Portland Satur day night, play host to still an other unbeaten team, Colorado. Oregon State was idle over the week end and Coach Tommy Prothro sat in the stands at Pull man as UCLA manhandled Washington State 55-0 without even using ace tailback Ronnie Knox. The Bruins will be pro hibitive favorites to handily down OSC but the Beavers will be trying to make a good show ing for Prothro against his old boss, Red Sanders. Oregon probably will be the underdog again against a Colo rado team that has blanked Ari zona 14-0 and Kansas 12-0 in its only two starts Fine Battle - ' A crowd of 29,113 in Multno mah stadium Saturday night saw Coach Len Casanova's out weighed team put up a fine bat tle against Washington, before losing its second game in three outings. Washington took ad vantage of a poor punt to drive over for a tally in the second quarter and then marched the second half kickoff back 77 yards for a 12-0 lead. Oregon, with Dick James and Jim Shanley leading the way. then caught fire and moved to a touchdown with Jack Morris' conversion putting the Ducks within striking distance, 12-7. The TD came on a 14-yard pass from Jack Crabtree to George Slender. But Washington picked up an Oregon fumble on the Duck 24 and drove over for the clincher. Credell Green scored twice and Jimmy Jones once for the Hus kies, who now have won three straight. Best run of the game was a 41-yard jaunt by James from his own six yard line In the second quarter. The Grants Pass kid picked up 84 yards In 11 rushing plays, tops for the game. Oregon completed 8 out of 12 passes for 115 yards but it was the running attack upon which Casanova's kids relied chiefly. Field Goal Earns 27-26 Nod for LA Los Angeles (U.R) Pitts burgh Coach Walter Kiesling to day blasted the "worst officiat ing I have ever seen" for helping the Los Angeles Rams get a last second 27-26 National football league victory over the Steelers. With only one second left to play, Les Richter kicked a 33 yard field goal which gave the Rams victory yesterday and a tie for the Western division lead with Baltimore and Green Bay. The Rams averted an upset after the Steelers overcame a 17-0 Los Angeles halftime lead. The game's wild finish left Kiesling fuming and being re strained by his assistant coaches from continuing a violent ar gument with the game officials. Penalty Key Move An official's call on a Ram pass completion and an unnec essary roughness penalty against the Steelers were factors in set ting up the winning field goal and particularly ired Kiesling. With only one minute and 15 seconds left to play, the Steelers held a 26-24 bulge, when the Rams took over on their own 30. Ron Waller took Norm Van Brocklin's pass for three yards and fumbled when he was hit, a Steeler recovered. Officials ruled, however, the ball was dead before the fumble. "We should have been award ed the ball," Kiesling fumed. "It was either incomplete or it was djjk ball." On the next play Van Brock lin hit end Bob Boyd with a short pass. Boy) raced to. the Steeler 40 where he was stop ped by Steeler Ritchie McCabe who had put Pittsburgh m front five minutes earlier by picking up a fumble by Corky Taylor of the Rams and racing 50 yards to a touchdown. Officials ruled McCabe was guilty of a person al foul for unnecessary rough ness in stopping Boyd. Kick From 33 The clock was stopped with only one second left and the ball placed on the 25, setting up Richter's game-winning kick from the 33. The Rams got their 17-point halftime bulge in the second period on a one-yard plunge by Dan Towler, a 12-yard Richter fielcjggoal, and a Van Brocklin to Boyd pass "which covered 74 yards just as the halftime gun was fired The other Ram touchdown, which gave Los Angeles a 24 19 lead after the Steelers had moved in front, came in the fourth period on a 17-yard Van Brocklin pass to Tom Fears. The Steelers scored in the Five Upsets In Week End Pro Games Baltimore U.R) George Shaw, the bonus quarterback from Oregon, threw two touch down passes Saturday night as the Baltimore Colts downed the Detroit Lions 28-13 in a National Football league game. Br TIM MORIARITY United Press Sports Writer Otto Graham, Cleveland's re turning warrior, was back on the beam today and so were the defending champion Browns following another wild week end of upheavals ' in , the National Football league. Six games were played Satur day and Sunday, with five end ing in upsets. The Browns, with Graham chucking passes in his old-time form, snapped a five' game losing streak by walloping the San Francisco Forty-Niners, 38-3, while the suddenly-aroused Green Bay Packers whipped the Chicago Bears, 24-3, for their second straight upset of the new season. -Chicago Victor In other Sunday games, the Chicago Cardinals ignored the odds as they v handed the New York Giants a 28-17 pasting and the Los Angeles Rams, a 14- point favorite, needed a last second field goal by Les Rich ter to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-26. s Two Saturday night games also wound up in surprise de cisions. The Washington Redskins took over undisputed possession of first place in the Eastern divi sion by edging the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-30, while the Baltl more Colts remained in a tie with Los Angeles and Green Bay for first place in the West ern division by turning back tne Detroit Lions, 28-13. 49ers Booed, Battered in Sunday Fray San Francisco (U.R) The San Francisco Forty Niners agreed today on an obvious fact some thing has got to be done to pull the team together. The team was discouraged, to say the least, after yesterday's 38-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. It was the worst licking tne locals have ever taken in Kezar Stadium and the first 4ime since 1950 they have failed to score a touchdown. What made the defeat even hardest to bear was that it fol lowed last week's 24-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the sea- son opener. And in both games the ' hometown fans expressed their sentiments about the team with loud boos and catcalls. Painful Sight ' . Strader ordered his charges to gather round him today to view movies of yesterday's loss! What they saw was painful. ' Quarterback Otto Graham, aided by a hard-charging for ward wall that ruined the Fprty- Niner offensive and gave the de fending champion Browns con trol of the ball scored one touch down and set up two others with passes. , San Francisco never threat ened seriously. Only in the sec ond quarter did the Forty Niners get close enough for a field goal try. On that occasion, end Gordy Soltau made good from the 17- yard line. Midway in. the third quarter, many of the 46,150 fans began chanting, "We want Shaw" meaning Buck Shaw, the coach fired by the Forty Niner owners last year because he failed to win a National Football League pennant.

The community's Biggest Maikatpiace St. Mary's Defeats GP Reserves 26 to 18 WELCOMING COMMITTEE of teammates and batboy greets Dodger's Duke Snider as he crosses plate with fifth inning homer in fourth game of World Series. Snider's blow helped Brooklyn even series with 8-5 victory. 0 (International) Snider Proud Of Second Roundtripper (Editor's note: Duke Snider smashed two homers . and a double to lead the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory oyr the Yankees Sunday a Brooklyn went ahead in the . World Series, three games to two. His two homers gave him a total of nine in World Series play and he now ranks behind only Babe Ruth, who hit 15. and Lou Gehrig, who hit 10, in World Series competition. In the following dispatch, he tells how he did it.) By DUKE SNIDER As Told To The United Press Brooklyn (U.R) The first homer I hit Sunday made me feel good but the second one made me feel the proudest guy in the world. Before I came, to the ballpark someone said to me i naa a chance of tying Joe DiMaggio's performance of eight home runs in World Series play. Ever since '!' was a kid, Joe has always been an inspiration to me. Oh, I never got a chance to talk to him very muqh. We just said hello once or twice, I think. But I always considered him one of the greatest ball play ers ever to put on a uniform. A Great Thrill So you can get some idea of how I felt when I hit my second homer of the game off Bob Grim in tne tittn inning ana passea DiMag's" record. You bet I knew it, and it'll go down as one of the greatest thrills I ever had in my .life. ? 4'" Maybe, if I play in another series or two 1 migni,Tcn up with Lou Gehrig's record of 10 homers but I dpn't think I'll ever get close to Babe Ruth's record of 15. That would , really take some doing. Don't let any one tell you that fellow Grim doesn t have good stuff. He threw me one helluva pitch when I hit that second homer in the fifth inning. It was as good a curve ball as I've ever seen and I was lucky to hit it, The homer I hit in the third in- r-ning was off a curve ball, also. He threw me one of those curves high. The other low. ' . Big Job To Do Everybody is asking me how come I've suddenly broken out in a rash of four homers during the series when the last homer I hit during the regular season was on Labor Day. All I can say is that I wasn't really shoot ing for homers after we clinched the pennant but when the series came along; I realized there was a big job to do. And I'm confident, like all the rest of the fellows on this club, that we're going all the way this time.

For Action, Use Tribune Want Ads St. Mary's high play for keeps football aggregation got a three touchdown jump then fought wearily but doggedly determin ed to outlast the bigger, heavier Grants Pass varsity reserves 26 to 18 Saturday night on the Med ford stadium grass. Rival of the Crusaders was the Caveman varsity less 13 of its top players. A good number of the visiting contingent had seen varsity action this year for Grants Pass. The Medford parochial school utilized surprise, a break, the running of Laval Meunier and the passing and running of big Jim Jones to pile up a 20 to 0 lead by halftime. In the second half Grants Pass, better organ ized, smoother and keyed up fiercely used ite battering pow er, a couple of breaks and a few passes to get three ID s of its own. St. Mary's struck through the air with suddeness its second time during the game to get a lone second half touchdown. Opportunities Quashed Two big breaks, a recovered kick-off and a fumble recovery gave Grants Pass scoring chances in the final quarter but sheer grit on the part of the Crusad ers quashed one threat and a pass interception' stopped the other, The Crusaders got touchdowns the first two times they went .on the offensive. They went 80 yards in nine plays for the first one. Biggest gain was a 44-yara scoot around left end 'by. speed ster Meunier and he went the last eight yards around end also for the TD.

Grants Pass ume back with 78-yard march in seven plays. A 25-yard heave, Taylor to Gary Tompkins, and a 10-yarder, Tay lor to Mclntyre, helped. Curnow broke loose for the last 22 yards. Stan Lewman's sneak try for the extra didn't make it and the touchdowning was over for the night. Mclntyre booted an onside kick-off and recovered the ball himself on the SM 42 V for a big Caveman chance.
