Score after two days of play between 10-man teams at Medford's Rogue Valley Country club was II2 to 7 2 - It was the first tie in the nine-season history of the stellar competition sponsored by Robert A. Hudson Sr., Portland. Dra matically, and like in 1956, the outcome was not certain until the final hole of the match last remaining on the course was played. The Northwest's highest rank ing pros had taken a three-point lead by winning four of the five Scotch foursomes on Saturday. In yesterday's 10 individual matches, the simon-pures won six and knotted another, gaining one point for each of the tri umphs and one-half for the tie. Dramatic Twist The keen but sociable 36-hole rivalry took its dramatic twist when Don Taylor, Seattle, Wash ington Open champ, came in with his 2 up verdict over Bill Welch, Kennewick, Wash., ex national public links champion. That cut the pro lead to 1XA to 51s and it became apparent that the amateurs had a chance to tie. Then Dick Yost, Columbia- Edgewater. Portland, ex-state and northwest amateur titlist and Walker Cupper, came through with one of the key shots of the day. He and pro Ray Honsberg er, ex-Northwest Open champ, came to the 36th green all square. Yost was on the green in two strokes and four feet downhill from the hole. Hons berger parked his third shot within two feet of the cup for an almost certain birdie. But Yost dunked in his putt for an eagle three to take the hole and the match. Had the two halved the match Honsberger would have picked up a half point, assuring his team a victory. Atkinson Wins Finally Bob Atkinson, Colum bia, Portland city champ and ex-state amateur winner and Charles Congdon, Tacoma, for mer Canadian Open victor ap proached the final green with Atkinson 1 up. Congdon's ap proach was in the sand trap and Atkinson's low on the green. It looked as if Atkinson was in. But Congdon had a beautiful out to within 31 2 feet of the cup. Atkinson, with the pressure on, putted up eight inches from the hole. Congdon conceded the Bisons Take IL Mantle Miami, Fla. (W The Buf falo Bisons are en route to Den ver and the Little World series today as the International league champions. The Bisons won the govern or's cup playoffs, defeating Mi ami in the best-of-seven series, four games to one. The clincher came Sunday when Glenn Cox held the Marlins to eight hits as Buffalo won, 7-1. Denver, representing the Am erican association, earned its berth by whipping Minneapolis in four straight games and St Paul in six. birdie putt and the Portlander took the tying match. Other amateur victories yester day were Bill Warner, Spokane, 2 and 1 over Larry Lamberger, Portland: Bob Prall, Salem, a one-sided 8 and 7 over Bob J.lc Kendrick, Oswego, and Carl Jonson, Seattle, a decisive 7 and 6 over Dave Killen, Eastmore land, Portland. Ade Hycke, Oswego, Oregon amateur match play champ, and Al Feldman, Tacoma, fought to a draw over their 36 holes. Pro Victors Winning matches for profes sionals were Bunny Mason, Salem, 3 and 2 over Don Krieger, Calumbia; Joe Greer, Yakima, Wash., 4 and 3 over Jim Mal lory, Spokane, and Ed Hogan, Riverside, Portland, over Gor don MacKenzie, Portland. Hogan, Northwest pro champ, had the best card of the day with one under par for the distance his match went with the Wash ington and British Columbia titlist. He was three under stand ard in the afternoon and seven up after 27 holes. The match ended with his par on 30. His lunchtime lead was 2 up. Mason, 1956 Oregon Open win ner, and Prall, 1955-1956 state amateur medal victor, were even par in their wins. The Salem pro was three up with even par after the morning round. He had a 5 up margin over Krieger, Ore gon coast and ex-state match champion, after 27 greens. Prall 2 up on his foe, 1957 state pro match play winner, at lunch, had a 6 up bulge after 27 holes. Feldman Rallies One of the big comebacks of the day was by Feldman, North west Open victor. He was 4 down to Huycke's one over par game for 18 holes, then played even nar on the afternoon side while his amateur rival was five over. Huycke, who had taken a 3 up lead on the 19th green was only 1 up after 27. Feldman tied the tussle with a bird on 36. Yost and Honsberger in their key match were even with two above standards for the morn ing. The amateur took five straight holes in the early after noon as Honsberger swatted two shots out of bounds. Then Yost faded as Honsberger won the the fray on 33 with a par. For next four holes. The pro evened the afternoon Yost had a 76 and his opponent a 79. Atkinson in the morning was 1 up over Condon with even par 72 to his adversary's 73. Each had a 75 in the afternoon. The Portland player was still 1 up after 27 and made it 2 up on 30. Congdon took 32 and the two halved the final two holes. Mallory Ball Lost Green, 1957 Washington match champ, took Mallory, this year's Northwest amateur match tour ney runner-up, with two over par for the day. The two were even with 75s in the morning. The pro went two up with one below par 36 in out nine of the afternoon. Mallory's ball off the tee on the 25th hole was lost, apparently in a deep crevice in the ground. He took a two-stroke penalty. Greer grabbed the 32nd and 33rd holes with pars to wrap up the tussle. Taylor established a 2 up lead yesterday morning with even par and he and Welch each had four over 76s in the afternoon.

Alumni Article Repudiated by OSC President Portland (IP) A Pacific Coast Conference, minus Idaho and University of Oregon, was fore seen in an editorial in the Ore gon Stater, alumni monthly, written by Ted Carlson, assist ant alumni secretary. Carlson, writing in the edi torial column "Inside OSC" said, "The Pacific Coast Conference as we have known it is dead. "What will rise from the smouldering wreck of the old PCC will probably be an ar- i rangemen with UCLA, USC, J Stanford, California, Washing- i ton, Oregon State and Washing-1 ton State." j Carlson went on to say, "Idaho will surely be out. Several of j the California schools have indi cated that they will not sched- j ule Oregon under existing condi- i tions and as long as the Eugene j school has Mr. Orlando Hollis I as its faculty representative . . " j The articles brought a quick repudiation from OSC President Dr. A. L. Strand. ! Dr. Strand said the ideas in ' the published article were "dis-' tinctly not mine." j "Any attempt to drive a I wedge between Oregon State col- i lege and the University of Ore-1 gon would only hurt us both. I wish to make it clear that I repu-! diate most of the things in the ' article," he added. ' Marge Ferrie Cops Trans Miss Las Vegas, Nev.
