The Beavers had to come from behind to win after Washington scored in the second period when End Jim Houston intercepted Halfback Ray Westfall's desper ation pass and scampered 19 yards to pay dirt. Westfall was in the vice like- clutches of Tackle George Strugar when he flipped the ball .under handed straight into Houston's hands. The loss virtually spelled doom to Washington's Rose Bowl hopes. It left Washington's conference record at three wins, one tie and one defeat. It was Oregon State's third conference victory against one loss.
