He is shown here as he powered over from the one-yard line to open the Owl scoring in the second quarter. In all, Battle carried the ball 24 times for a total of 124 yards and an average of 5.2 yards per carry. In this play, Rockne Luckman (731 and Jack Kutter 1701 provided the slight room needed by Battle for the score. The Owls move into conference play this Satur day, entertaining Portland State. ' Queen Pulls Out Win With Last Second Pass PORTLAND (LTD Quarter back Gordon Queen lost a passing battle with Baylor's Don Trull Saturday night, but lie won the war with a last-minute touchdown pass that gave Oregon State a 22-15 foolhall victory. Queen, who completed 11 of 22 passes for 101 yards, hit Danny Eapalin on a nine - yard scoring pass with 27 seconds left to give the unbeaten Beavers their third win of the year and their 10th in a row. Trull, perhaps the best profes sional prospect in the country, picked I he OSU defenses apart with 16 completions in 28 altempts for 246 yards, but a defensive maneuver cnncnclcd by Beaver coach Tommy Prothro undid him. Trull had passed the Bears back from a '15-0 deficit to tie the score early in the third quar ter. The (Bears marched 68 yards with the' second-half kickoff for the tying points, scored on a one yard plunge by Trull. The Bears moved info touch down territory again in the fourth period, when Prothro's strategy of luring Trull into throwing into the flat instead of down the middle paid off.

"If he'd thrown up the middle he couldn't have helped but score. The Beavers didn't score that break, but they got the ball again with 66 yards to go and only 4:09 left. A 15-yard penalty set OSU back to its lil, and Queen took over. He hit Vcrn Burke for 17, Es- palin for '12, Doug JIcDougal for 19 and 13, and finally Espalin again for 9 and the touchdown. Espalin, the smallest man on the field at 5-8 and il67, grabbed the ball on the five, fumbled it on I he two, and then fell on it in the end aone. LeRoy Whittle's 26-yaid scoring run and a Queen-to-Burke conver sion pass gave Oregon Stale an 8-0 lead in the first quarter. Full back Bruce Williams tallied on a one-yard plunge after an 00-yard drive in the second period to make it il5-0. Trull took one play to get that score back. He hit Lawrence El kins on an flu-yard scoring play to make it '15-6 and Tom Davies booted a 28-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the half. Trull got the equalizer on the third-quarter drive and that set the stage for Queen s last-minute heroics. "His poise was very good and his play selection was excellent," Prothro said of his quarterback. U i of 1 1 1 yards gained. At right, Sonny Luke crashes over from one yard out for the third Owl score of the night. This one, plus the third straight extra point kick by Bob Bonner gave the Owls a halftime edge of 21-0.

Koufax started the Yankees on the skids to their most humiliat ing World Series defeat last Wednesday in New York. And he dealt the knockout blow Sunday with a superb six-hit. 2-1 victory that completed the Dodgers four. game sweep before 55,912 fans in sunsoaked Dodger Stadium. He gave up six hits in each game, yielded a total of only three runs, and struck out 23 Yankee hitters, including a rec. ord 15 in the opening game. But while Koufax is the glamor-! boy who won the sports car as tlie outstanding player in the ser ies, there were several othdr Dodgers who turned in "clutch' performances in the final game of the sweep. Pepitone Lost Ball There was Jim Gilliam, the cagey "old pro" who took ad vantage of the lapse in tlie Yank. ee defense to scoot all the way to third base on an error by first baseman Jne Pepitone in the; seventh inning. There was Willie Davis, who1 promptly caught hold of one of Whitey Ford's pitches and drove it deep enough to center field for the sacrifice fly that brought home Gilliam with the winning run. There was big Frank Howard, who in I lie fifth inning had de livered a mighty 450-loot homer off Ford lor Los Angeles' first run. And there were others who ig nored the odds, refused to flinch before the favored Yankees and helped pull off this biggest World Series upset in several seasons, In the end, it was a break which won for the Dodgers. Yet they had the alertness and the drive to capitalize on such ad vantages. .Mantle Homered Howard's fifth-inning home run was offset in the top of the seventh by Mickey Mantle's horn- Prep Football Scores Prep Football By InHrd Press International Roseburg 12 North Eugene 0 Jefferson 13 Lincoln 13 Hermiston 27 Bend 7 .

Our Yard LOS ANGELES (UPl - It was a baseball miracle, but the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled it off to erase the last remaining ves tiges of a choke-up stigma that had haunted them for nearly a year. They swept the World Series from the once-proud-and-mighty New York Yankees in the face of odds that were 23-1 against them. But the oddsmakers didn't fig ure on that gilt-edged Dodger pitching, timely hitting and a surprisingly porous Yankee de fense which yielded a seventh-in. ning gift run that enabled the Dodgers to win the fourth game. 2-1 Sunday, with Sandy Koufax pitching another masterpiece. Actually, the Yankees' Whitey Ford pitched better, yielding onlv two hits, but the highly-touted Yankee defense let him down. It was a bitter defeat for the Yankees the first time they ever had been swept in the 28 Series in which they have played To the Dodgers the victory was Klamath Falls, Ore. PAGE-11 er into the left field stands which tied the score at 1-1. Mantle's homer was his 15th in series competition, tying' a record set by Babe Ruth. Ford, who gave up onlv two hits in the seven innings he worked, w as sabotaged by his de fense right at the start of the seventh. Clete fioyer at third made a fine, leaping grab of Gilliam's bouncer and threw to first for what appeared an out. But Pepi tone lost sight ol the ball in the crowd background and it bounced off his wrist and chest and fled past him to the stands. Gilliam took off for second base, took a look over his should er at Pepitone still pursuing the ball and headed for third. He made it easily. Willie Davis then delivered the winning run with a fly to Mantle and Gilliam crossed the plate without sliding. Koufax yielded a one-out single in the eighth to pinch-hitler Phil Lmz, who promptly was erased in a double play in which Dick Tracewski picked up Tony Ku bek's grounder, tagged Linz and threw to first base for the second out.

Alston Was Surprised Manager Walter Alston of the Dodgers, whoso job may have been in jeopardy had he not won the series, admitted he was as surprised as anyone by the Los Angeles sweep. "I never figured we'd do it in four," said the happy Alston. "I never gave mucy thought about how many games it would take to win, but if someone had asked me I'd have said six or seven." Manager Ralph Houk w as sur prised, too. Before the series he said he didn't look for either team to win it in four games "because we arc so evenly matched." "The Dodgers have a great club." added Houk, who suffered his first series defeat. "As soon as my players came into the dressing room after the game, 1 told them they have nothing to be ashamed of. They're going to be winning a lot more in the fu ture." ' Ho refused to singlo out any Yankee player for blame. "The things which happened to us In the field could have hap pened to anyone," he reasoned. Excuses Pcpilinc's Error Thus did ho excuse the down cast Joe Pcpitone's failure to hold a throw from thud basemen Clete Boycr which would have re tired Jim Gilliam in the seventh inning. As it was, Pepitone lost the ball in the crowded background of tlie left field stands, and Gil- ham raced all the way to third on the error. A few seconds lat er, Gilliam scored the winning run after Willie Davis flicd deep to Mickey Mantle. As soon as he spoke to his players, Houk went into the Dodg er clubhouse to congratulate Als ton and the Dodgers. "II we had to lose," said Houk. a champion in defeat, "I'm glad it was to a club like the Dodgers. I'm glad for Alston. After tlie frustrating season they had the year before if somebody else had to win I ra -happy it was a club like the Dodgers that won." Houk was nettled by whispers and even some opinions ex pressed right out that Uio Yank ees did not belong in the same league as the Dodgers. "I wouldn't mind if the Dodg ers were in our league, lie said. "I'd like to play them all year. Some people might say they'd run us into the ground but I don't think so." "A Lucky Man" Alston, who refused to single out any Dodger players for spe cial praise, called himself "a very lucky man." I "This makes up for every- thing," he said. "It was a very fine team effort." There were Dodger heroes ga lore, but tlie Dodger players heaped most of their praise on the 27-ycar-old, dark-haired Koufax, tlie major league strikeout king. Koufax, a 23-game winner in the Dodger drive to the National league pennant, throttled the Yankee power in the first and USC Player Gets Award SAN FRANCISCO (UPI (-Half back Mike Garrett, a sophomore speedster built like a fire plug, was named the AAWU's "Back of the Week" today for leading the Trojans of Southern Califor nia to a come-from-hehind 13-10 victory over Michigan State.
