Coach Tommy Prothro's sin gle wing club trailed the In- i 0ans 19-7 as the final quarter opened but pulled the game out thanks to some great running tiy wingbaclc Earnel Durden and tailback Paul Lowe, mixed in with some fancy work by tail- back Joe Francis of Honolulu. For the second week in a row Stanford lost because of missed conversions. Last week UCLA dumped the Indians 14-13 and UCLA Takes 13-9 Victory Over Huskies Seattle, Wash. Third string halfback Kirk Wilson, backed up by smashing defense, led the ULCA Bruins to a 13-9 Pacific Coast conference victory over Washington Saturday be- fore 27.5A0 fans.

John Clarke kicked the extra points after OSC's first two tallies and they turned out to be the points the Beavers needed. The Beavers, who probably will meet Iowa for the second time this season if they make the almost certain trip to Pasa dena, went ahead midway in the period when Francis con nected on a 21-yard pass to end Frank. Negri for the clinching tally. That pulled Oregon State up to the fore from a 14-19 defi cit and climaxed a 57-yard touchdown march which opened after Tom Berry intercepted a pass by Stanford s John Brodie. OSC Washed Up Oregon . State had seemed about washed up after Stanford moved ahead 19-7 with a little less than two minutes to play in the third period after Gordy Young smashed over for the In dians third tally and Brodie passed to Carl Isaacs for their first conversion of the day. But then the fired up club, which has turned from Pacific Coast conference doormat into a hot contender since Prothro checked in two years ago, went to work with a vengeance and driving them all the time was end Norm Thiel, who played a solid game on defense and con tinually red dogged the fancy passing Brodie. Durden. who had been the key in Oregon State's first quar ter drive, that gave the Beav ers a 7i0 lead over Stanford be fore the game was five minutes old, grabbed a pass from Lowe and raced 50 yards down the sidelines to the enemy 15 as the third period ran out. Lowe, a former champion high school hurdler from Los Angeles, then scrambled 10 yards through a maze of red shirts from the touchdown that put the Beav ers back into business.

Francis ruin ed any chance the Indians had for staging a counter attack when he got off a 49 yard punt that rolled dead on the Stanford three with less than a minute and a half to play. Brodie Brilliant Brodie was brilliant In de feat, however, connecting on 19 of 31 passes for a total of 223 yards . It was the gawky quarter back's passes that were the drive wheel in all three Stanford touchdowns, which carried for 59, 80 and 43 yards.

Bill Steiger took a short pitch from Bob Newman on the third play of the fourth quarter and then outlegged three Webfoot backs for 79 yards to score and Ron Hare knotted the count for good with a wobbly placement which barely cleared the cross bar. UO Has Early Lead The Ducks took an early lead in the second. period with a 69 yard march in" eight plays which featured the running and passing of Tom Crabtree, the veteran Webfoot quarterback. The key play on the drive was a 43-yard gallop by Crabtree which took the ball to the Cou U.S. Cuppers Show Poor Sydney W.R; United States Davis Cup players made a poor showing Saturday at the new South Wales tennis champion I ships when Sam Giammalva was ! eliminated and Herb Flam trail j ed an unhearalded Australian j when darkness halted his match.

Jack Mor ris converted, his 19th straight. Other Opportunities Both teams had other scoring opportunities but failed to make them good. Washington State drove to the Oregon 11 in the opening period only to have two of Newman's passes knock ed down in the end zone. Mo ments later they were back on the Oregon 18, but again Ore gon stiffened and threw them back to the 31 in four plays. The Ducks had two addition al scoring opportunities, but one died on an intercepted pass deep in Cougar territory and the second ended when Crabtree was dumped for a five yard loss from the Cougar 17 and Morris was short with a field goal try which would have needed 38 yards to clear the cross bar.

You have to classify the Yanks right alongside "Ol' Man Riv er" when you size up Ameri can league prospects for 1957 They just keep rollin' along nd this time they figure to run longer than a pure silk stock ing. Team by team, it shapes up like this: New York Yankee Things get worse for the rest of the league before they get better. This is a young Yankee team. Nor will the Yankees stand pat as they look to im prove left field and polish up the pitching department. Detroit Tigers The Tigers could make a run at the Yanks for a while. The pitching is able and Al Ksline and Harvey Kuenn spark the attack. Catching and first base help, plus bench strength, seem too much to ask to .completely close the gap.
