Oregon had a 4-4-2 mark. By JOE SARGIS United Press Sports Writer Coach Tommy Prothro. who worked a "little miracle" to get Oregon State into the Rose Bowl, will have to work a "big miracle" if he expects the Bea vers to beat Iowa in the New Year's Day classic. The Beavers, who will carry a 7-2-1 record into the Rose Bowl, were held to a 14-14 tie by arch-rival Oregon Thursday in their traditional Turkey Day tussle. Considering their loss to Iowa in a regular-season game, the future doesn't appear very bright for the Beavers. to work on his charges, who have averaged only 18.9 points per game while allowing their iby defeating Wake Forest, 13-0. It was South Carolina's seventh victory in 10 starts. The game marked the season's finale for the Gamecocks, who now can sit back and see how Duke and Clemson fare in Saturday games. The Blue Devils and the Tigers opponents an average of 13.1 are the other Atlantic Coast points per contest. I Conference teams with a chance As in most of its games, the , to gam tne remaining urange tussle with Oregon was close all the way. Only in its games with Washington State and UCLA, which it won by scores of 21-0 and 21-7. respectively, did Oregon State enjoy any breathing room. Against the Webfoots, State twice led by a touchdown, but both times the lead vanished.

Oregon State Footballers Disappointed Corv'allis U.R Oregon State's football players were ob viously disappointed yesterday that they had to settle for a 14 14 tie with Oregon in their an nual "Civil War" game. Coach Tommy Prothro said "I feel that we made more mistakes than Oregon did and, quite natur ally we were hurt terribly when Durden was ejected from the game." Wingback Earnel Durden and Oregon Guard Spike Hillstrom were asked to depart from the contes.t after the second half kickoff. Durden admitted he swung at Hillstrom but only after he was jolted in the ribs with an elbow. "I know 1 shouldn't have done it. And you con be. sure I learned a lesson I'll never forget," he said. As. for the Rose Bowl, Prothro used the phrase "If we get the bid" in any discussion of the Pasadena contest. The Beavers are considered a cinch to get the nod. Good Representative Coach Len Casanova of Ore gon said Oregon State "will be a good representative in the Rose Bowl." Quarterback Tom Crabtree said the payoff touchdown pass to Jack Morris which tied the game was called from the bench. "We had the pattern to Morris all year but none of us quarter backs ever called it before," he said. Hillstrom was unhappy about leaving the game and denied he slugged Durden. "Never . . . have I been kicked out of a game or even had an unnecessary roughness penalty called against me," he said. "I simply blocked Durden and then went back into our huddle. The next thing I knew someone said I was out. And out I went." -uncover Prothro. rfbw in. his i were dipping.
