battle with Baylor's Don Trull

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

picked I he OSU defenses apart
with 16 completions in 28 altempts

maneuver cnncnclcd by Beaver
coach Tommy Prothro undid him.
Trull had passed the Bears
back from a '15-0 deficit to tie

the tying points, scored on a one

Teams Split
Record Fund
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Each
member of the victorious Los
Angeles Dodgers who was voted
a full share of the World Series
pot should receive at least $12,
000.
The full shares for the losing
New York Yankees is expected
to amount to about $8,000 apiece
Both estimated figures would
be all-time highs.
The players' pools for the 1963
series totaled $1,017,546.53 the
first time in history it cracked
the million dollar mark.
The previous high of $893,301.40
was established in the 1959 series
between the Dodgers and the
Chicago White Sox. Each Dodger
received $11,231.18 and the losing
White Sox received $7,275.17
apiece.
The World Series participants
are awarded 70 per cent of Ihe
players pool 60 per cent of
that figure going to the winning
team and 40 per cent to the loser
The second, third and fourth
place finishers in each league
carve up the remaining 30 per
cent.
Although Ihe Yankees and the
Dodgers took clubhouse votes on
how they will divide their shares
before the series, the actual an
nouncement will not be made un
til later this week by Commis
sioner Ford Frick.
The gate receipts for Ihe 1963
series amounted to $1,995,189.09
a record for a four-game series
However, the total attendance nf
247.279 was not a record. The

As Yankee Killer
LOS ANGE1.ES (UPI) - On
the banquet circuit this winter
they'll toast Sandy Koufax of the
Dodgers as the man who contri
buted most to the misery of the
proud Yankees in 1963.
Koufax started the Yankees on

Wednesday in New York. And he
dealt the knockout blow Sunday
with a superb six-hit. 2-1 victory
that completed the Dodgers four.

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

Dodgers who turned in "clutch'
performances in the final game
of the sweep.

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.

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

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

cast Joe Pcpitone's failure to hold
a throw from thud basemen

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,
