Klamath Automobile Dealers Association Oregon Sport Notes By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer BUI Gray's breath-taking touchdown for Oregon State last Saturday against Washington State will rank as one of the season's unusual plays, even though it didn't prevent a Beav er drubbing from the Holling berys.
