Oregon State Overpowers Cai, 21-13; Webfoot Fumbles Give Game to Huskies Contestabile Sparks Bevos In Upset Corvallis, Ore. U.PJ Ore gon State turned a crunching ground attack loose in the sec ond half to come from two touchdowns behind and over power California, 21-13, Satur day in a Pacific Coast Confer ence football game. An overcast sky pretty much reflected the early gloom of 14, 125 partisan fans in Parker Sta dium at the end of the half when the Golden Bears of Cali fornia held a 13-0 lead. The California scores were set -up by the remarkable passing of sophomore qua rterback Joe Contestabile, who during the first two quarters was detestable ' to the Beavers. But an Oregon State crew of fleet and powerful backs proved too much for a steadily - weak ening California line in the sec ond half. The Beavers got one touchdown in the third quarter on a 30-yard run around right end by sophomore Paul Lowe and ground out two more the last with only two seconds re maining in the game in the fourth period. Clark Converts Lowe squirted through the California defense from the three-yard-line for the second and tying, Oregon State touch down. John Clarke, a sophomore right end, put the Beavers ahead 14-13 with a conversion The final score climaxed a 51 yard drive which saw Oregon State call for time out on the California four with two sec onds remaining to play. With time left for only one play, Lowe plunged over and Tony Arana, another sophomore, con verted. Clarke had made good also on his first conversion at tempt. . It was Oregon ' State's first conference victory in two' out ings. California, inspired by the pasing of Contestabile, scored first mid-way in the first quarter when Jack Hart cracked over from the 10-yard-line to climax a 65-yard drive. Max Hale's con version try was wide. Scores on Pass The second Golden Bear score came early in the second quarter when Contestabile hit Hart in the end zone from 10 yards out. This time Hale made good his try for point. Biggest thrill of the contest was a 75-yard sprint into the end zone by Lowe which was nullified by an Oregon State holding penalty with the game barely under way. California completed 12 out of 21 pass attempts for 144 yards, almost all of it in the first half. Oregon State made 279 yards on the ground and the Beavers' 76 yards from passing more than offset the Bears' 72 from rushing. In first downs Oregon State led 23-11.
