k I MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17. lfl.ia HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE town Sets Rushing Mark, oosts Cleveland into Lead By THK ASSOCIATED PRESS Thundering Jimmy Brown. Cleveland's running virtuoso, to day had picked one of the Na tional Football League's juiciest plums, was near another, and had propelled the Browns closer to a division championship. The barrelling Cleveland full back set a season rushing record Sunday as the Browns regained undisputed possession of first place in the Eastern Conference with a 20-10 victory at Washing ton. Brown gained 132 yards in 27 tries, totally eclipsing the stand ard of 1,146 yards set in 12 games by Steve Van Burcn of Philadel phia in 1949. The former Syracuse All-America has amassed 1,163 yards in only eight games. A sophomore in pro ranks. Brown scored twice on short plunges. The Cleveland standout has 17 touchdowns for the season, one short of Van Buren's record. Cleveland's triumph, coupled with the 31-10 upset of the New York Giants by Bobby Layne and hi' Pittsburgh mates, left the Browns on top with a 6-2 record. Runner-up New York is a game back at 5-3. The race in the Western Confer ence virtually was broken wide open as Baltimore's second-string quarterback, George Shaw, passed the Colts to a 17-0 triumph over Chicago's Bears. Baltimore, has a 7-1 record for a two-game lead over Chicago and Los Angeles. The Rams tied for the runner-up spot by knocking off Green Bay 20-7. In other games, halfback Gene Gedman led the way as Detroit pasted San Francisco, 35-21, and Philadelphia easily handled Chi cago's Cardinals 49-21. Browns 20, Skins 10 Brown scored on plunges of one and five yards, but it was a Lou Groza field goal that beat the Red skins. The teams had traded touchdowns and field goals in the first hall for a 10-10 tie. With 2:10 remaining in the game, Groza booted a 25-yardei- for the victory, although moments later Brown tallied an insurance TD. Washing ton missed quarterback Eddie Le Baron, out with an injurv. He was replaced by Ralph Guglielmi. Cleveland 7 3 0 10 20 Washington 7 3 0 0 10 Cleveland: TD. Brown 2 M. plunge. 5, rum. FG, Groza 2 (10, 251. PAT, Groza 2.

OSC Boss Praises Beamer CORVALLIS (API Oregon State's 24-16 victory over Stan ford was a team effort, coach Tommy ' Prothro said Sunday night. But he quickly added: "I think Beamer had his best day of the year." Nub Beamer, a big fullback from Roseburg, ran as well as ever, and romped 44 yards for OSC's initial touchdown. And then he unfurled a sur prise touchdown pass that com pletely fooled Stanford and pro vided the margin of victory. That pass really wasn't much of a surprise, said Prothro. "Beamer has thrown one or two passes every season he's been here." But then he said it was only the second aerial that Beamer, a senior, has attempted this sea Eon. Stanford apparently was fooled because in a single wing forma tion, as the Beavers use, nearly every pass is thrown by the tail back. And it isn't too often that the fullback even receives the pass from the center. Prothro explained Beamer's touchdown pass play this way: "We throw from a spin series occasionally. On this play, Bea mer got the ball and then spun and faked to the tailback. Then he faked to the wingback and threw the oass." The aerial sailed 27 yards to Roger Johnson, who took it on the Stanford 27 and romped for the end zone. The Stanford del enders had drawn in, expecting a running play. Another big factor in the vic tory, said Prothro, was the run ning of Earnel Durden, who scored OSC's mother touchdown on 10-yard run. , Injuries, Fumbles Hurt ISO EUGENE 'API Iniuries and fumbles, as usual, contributed to Oregon's 7-3 loss to YCLA, coach Len Casanova said here Sunday night. "Our injuries and our fumbles hurt us as they have right along. we ve played a lot tougher teams than UCLA, Casanova said. And, he added, the Ducks will meet a tougher one still when they play Oregon State, their traditional rival, at nearby Cor valiis Saturday in the final sched uled game of the season for both teams. Even before' the game begins said Casanova, Oregon's injuries are nearly certain to affect its outcome. Halfback Charlie Tourville, the lone backfield veteran from last year's Rose Bowl squad, re-in jured a knee against UCLA Satur day in Los Angeles. He definitely will be lost for the Oregon State game, Casan ova said. Casanova also ticked off this list of other injuries: Halfback Len Read, possible concussion: halfback Don Laud enslager, injured knee: tackle Jim Linden, elbow injury, and quarterback Sandy Fraser, leg injuries. The coach said those four prob ably will be able to play. But two others Drobably'will be sidc lined all week: end Ron Stover with iniuries suffered two weeks ago and center Dave Fish, kicked in the groin playing against UCLA. "We've got loo many injuries, Casanova said. "We will have a very light drill Monday. And I'll know more after that what kind of practices we'll have the rest, of the week. "But right now it looks as if we will take a kind of light week as far as contact work is concerned." Casanova said the team was depressed over its loss, but added the players probably will be up for the Oregon State game. "It's a traditional game. We always hope that anything can happen. We hope it will happen in our favor for a change. Willamette Dealt Loss By THE ASSOCMTED PRESS The Willamette University Bearcats Saturday stepped out side the Northwest Conference and absorbed their first defeat of the 1958 season. Arizona State College at Flagstaff dropped them 7-0 at Yuma, Ariz. The stout Lumberjack defense stopped three Willamette scoring drives short of the goal line. Then, in the final period, the Lumberjacks punched across a lone score as quarterback Ted Sorich passed 23 yards to Al Rex. Sorich also kicked the extra point. The victory padded Arizona State ranks as No. 2 among the ration's small colleges. Willam ette was No. 3 last week. Joe Kapp, Bears Aimed At Bowl By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS California's Golden Bears, with quarterback Joe Kapp showing the way, appear headed for Pasa dena and the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1951. Only a grandiose upset in their "big game" Saturday against Stanford would keep Coach Pete Elliott's split T Bears from win ning (he title in the final season of the dying Pacific Coast Confer ence. Coach Tommy Prothro of Ore gon State, whose club beat Stan ford 24-16 last Saturday and pre viously dumped Cal 14-8, sum marized: "Coach Jack C ur t i c e has brought his Stanford team along very well, but I can't foresee that it has a chance against California." Pitt 31, NY 10 After upsetting Cleveland and Baltimore on successive Sundays, the Giants without halfback Alex Webster and two offensive line menwere unable to get going against a tough Steeler line. Layne passed for one touchdown. set up another on a 69-yard aerial maneuver and scored twice on short blasts.

HAVANA (AP) Now that George Bayer is harnessing his mighty power he is threatening to become one of the great all-time attractions of golf, as say, Sam Snead. People love a slugger. They made Babe liuth an idol in base Ball and Jack Dempscy one in boxing. For years they have flocked to watch Snead, the grace ful, prodigious fairway slammer Irom West Virginia. Now comes Bayer, a fantastic giant of a man who stands 6-5 and hits the ball farther than any man lias hit one before. The titanic former football tack le from the University of Washing ton won a dramatic sudden death playoff from Snead Sunday for the S6..JD0 top prize in the Havana In ternational Golf Tournament. If Havana officials had dictated the script they could not have asked for a more exciting finish over the Villa Real Golf Club course. Bayer was in with a 72-hole score ot 286 when Snead came to the 18th needing only a five-foot till to take first prize. Tic II blow it. said a golling friend to Bayer. Not a chance he 11 make it. said Bayer gloomily. Snead stroked and missed and the tournament went into an ex tra-hole playoff. "I'll get him now." said Bayer. And he did. Throwing all his power into the tee shot, the San Gabriel. Calif., giant almost drove the length of the 374-yard par four extra hole, but the ball landed in a Iran in front of the green. Sncad's drive was 40 to 50 yards shorter. Muscular Bayer blasted out within 10 feet of the cup and putted cautiously for his par four, Snead pitched 45 feet short of the cup and then three putted alter going seven feet past the pin in a bold try. .. . Thus Bayer, known more as a hitter than a winner won his see ond big prize since lurning pro five years ago and collected the biccest purse of his career. "I don't want to be just a long hitter I want to be a champion Bayer said. "I havo been working hard trying to refine my all around game." earn that would be a big drawing ard in a bowl game. It olavs New Mexico (no problem) this week :ind tough Colorado next week. Louisiana itate, which had a 7- queaker over Mississippi State Saturday night, need only defeat iuione mis wcck to win tne south western Conference chamninnshin. That one, although not by edict, takes in the Sugar Bowl, too. Norm Carolina still is the ton choice as the second Sugar Bowj leain aespite Its 34-24 loss to Notre Dame Saturday. The defeat snapped a 6-game Tar Heel win streak. With Pitt's 14-6 loss to Nebraska. Syracuse appears to be about the top eligible in the East and that could earn the Orange the Sugar bowi did. Syracuse has lost only once and winds up operations against West Virginia Saturday. Mississippi, twice-beaten also is a strong possibility. lexas Christian is the Cotton Bowl choice as the host team at the moment because it is leadin the Southwest Conference, a pre carious spot for any team in this topsy-turvy ioop. A victory over Rice, which has had its ups and downs, Saturday and TCU should be in. Vandcrbilt, beaten once and in volved in three ties, is another itching bowl candidate and could wind up in the Gator against Flor ida. This would be a rematch. The two played a 6-8 tie during the season. Three conference champions were crowned Saturday. West Vir ginia became the Southern Confer ence kingpin by crushing William and Mary, 56-6; Clemson sewed up the Atlantic Coast Conference by whipping North Carolina, 13-6, and ' Connecticut won the Yankee Con ference by thrashing Rhode Is land, 36-8. Rutgers, with ace Billy Austin on the sidelines with an injury, lost to the Quantico Marines, 13- 12, and that left Louisiana State the only undefeated-untied major team in the country. Iowa and Virginia Military In stitute also both lost their first games of the season. Both had been tied. Ohio Stale clubbed Iowa, 38-28, and The Citadel, beat en four times, embarrassed VMI, 14-6.
