"I have learned not ti sell this Oregon State team short before a game," Prothro said, then added, "or even in the fourth peSlbd."

Berry xrn mail thibune Beavers Come-Back Punch Against Iowa in Rose Bowl SPORTS king-aize upset of the year, near ly pulled it off, but in the final minutes Oregon State clicked in i the clutch to edge the Vandals, 14-10. UCLA, riding the crest of a 19 game winning skein in the conference, jumped into a seven point lead in their game with Oregon State, then couldn't muster another tally the rest of the day while the Beavers romp ed to three touchdowns. Against Southern Cal, one of Oregon' State's two losing efforts of the year, the Beavers had the ball on the Trojan two-yard line 'on the last play of the game. Iowa Blemish There is only one blemish on this glittering record of come back ability. And it was the Hawkeyes who put it there. Oregon State had erected a 13-0 advantage over Iowa ' in their regular season clash only to have it go for naught when the Hawkeyes caught fire in the final quarter and struck twice through the air for a 14-13 win. The Beaver ability to win the one they weren't supposed to over .the past two yeess is a matter of record. But their abili ty to win them with a come back has become notorious. In fact 'it happened with such regularity the black-garbed team was dubbed the "Black Bandits," 8 name that has siuck. And Oregon State partisans pqint out that never since Proth ro took over the Beaver helm has Oregon State lost while wearing the black home uni forms they will wear in the Rose Bowl.

Bob Hoffman of Talent scored 20 points and Bill Irwin of Butte Falls 19.

He's the personal aerial chauf feur of the Los Angeles Rams professional team, first grid club to have a personal pilot. A feature item about Captain Culbertson and his services with LA team appeared in a recent issue of the Los Angeles Exam iner, under the by-line of Bob Oates. United has had Culbertson flying the Rams since 1954, Oates report. He said " . . .where they go he goes, even into the nation's stadiums, where as a 'spotter' for announcers Bob Kelley and Bill Brundige he is the man behind the men who de scribe the games."

Iowa Is Favored In Rose Bowl ' By UNITED PRESS College football's bowl pro gram, a year-end sports spree that strikes as regularly as good resolutions and hangovers, will draw 500,000 fans to stadiums and millions more to television sets, during the next two weeks. About 3,000 members of this crowd will be Oregon State stu dents while 1.700 will be from Iowa. Coach Forest Evashevski plans to cut Iowa's drills from two to one a day next week at East Los Angeles stadium. Coach Tommy Prothro is sharpening Oregon State's single wing at tack at U.C.L.A. Iowa, which uses a multiple offense, is fa vored by 914 points. UCLA Still Powerful PCC Force, Bounces Missouri Bf UNITED PRESS UCLA, barred from confer ence championship for rules in fractions, proved Friday night it is still a powerful force in the Pacific Coast conference with a 77-54 victory over Missouri in the Pan-American Basketball tournament in Los Angeles. The Missouri Tigers, ranked as a power in the Big Seven con ference, were no match for the Uclans after a brief, close strug gle at the game's outset. With the score tied 19-19 after 10 minutes, UCLA,' led by guard Walt Torrence, began shooting that put the Los Angeles team out in front 42-26 at the half. UCLA cleared the benches in the second half and during the last five minutes dumped in 17 points to Missouri's three. Troy Has Trouble USC, also on the PCC penalty list, had a little more trouble in the tournament and only a last second 15-foot push shot by guard Chuck Reilly saved them from an upset at the hands of Loyola University of Los An geles. USC won 60-59. The San Francisco Dons, twice- the nationl champions, broke a three-game losing streak in St. Louis Friday night with a narrow 56-53 win over Wash ington university. ' . In other games involving West ern teams, the University of I Colorado ran away to a 65-53 member of the Ram Fan club and desire on the Ram manage ment to keep the athletes tran quil. Oates' article brings out the confidence the gridders have in their personal pilot and their great liking for him as a fan. It tells that Culbertson is ad mired for his smooth descents and landings, enabling the nerves of high strung football players to remain calm. Said the writer, "It was Vita min T. Smith who inaugurated the custom of shouting, 'Thank you, Mr. Aviator!' each time Culbertson brought the plane safely to port. Wild applause greets the pilot after every land ing." Culbertson, a United captain 14 years, joined the air line as a cargo handler in 1937. Oates tells how Emory, raised at a pear orchard here, was taught to fly by his brother Tom. He was okehed as a United co pilot in 1941. Culbertson, his wife, Pauline and two sons, Todd and Tim, reside at Beverly Hills, Calif. Misses Days Off The pilot's regular flight is the Los Angeles to Chicago run. To keep on the Ram assignment, Culbertson occasionally misses his regular days off. And United sometimes loses money when Culbertson doesn't return in time to fly his required 80 hours on other flights. Oates said, however, the airline con siders it good business to keep a client happy and adds that Culbertson would be delighted to ferry players around the world on his day off. Culbertson is envied among fan club members for intimate knowledge of and contact with the players. The United captain's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Culbertson Sr., and brothers, Paul and Tom Jr.,' reside here. OSC Gridders Have Press Day Santa Monica, Calif. U.F) The Oregon State Rose Bowl squad took a rest from heavy practice Saturday and suited up for a picture and press day. Coach Tommy Prothro gave his team a breather after run ning the squad through a "mod ified scrimmage" Friday which left the Beavers tired and gasp ing. Asked to comment on the 52 points Iowa's first and second squad scored in their first full scale scrimmage, Prothro said: "It appears to me their first two teams must be awfully good and their third and fourth squads not so good." Linfield Halts Rally by Rangers McMinnville (U.R Linfield staved off- a late St. Martin's rally to edge the Rangers, 79-77, here Friday night in a non-conference basketball game. The Wildcats moved into what appeared to be a comfortable 41 29 hilftime lead, but St. Martin's came back to close the gap and press Linfield in the closing minutes.

(U.R) Col lege of Pacific, plagued by a 13,000-mile football travel sched ule each fall that has cut into the financial budget, today asked to be allowed to join the Pacif ic Coast conference. Athletic Director Jack (Moose) Myers, who also is head football coach, said that since the school became a major football insti tution in 1950 that it had been forced to play too many inter sectionals to fill its schedule. "The Pacific Coast conference round robin schedule has prac tically frozen us out of com petition on the West coast," My ers said. "The only northern Cal ifornia school we play every year is San Jose State. We play ed California in 1952 and Stan ford in 1955-54-55." Myers pointed out that the COP stadium, which seats 35,000 Turkey Shoot To Be Today Medford Gun club winds up its schedule of competitions for the year today with its fourth turkey shoot of the season.
