Definition of a cartog rapher: a man who thinks Pasadena it 420 miles from Pa AltV" Oregon State today climbed into a tie with Stanford for th Coast Conferencejead and a chance to dip into the Rose Bowl gravy. Most of the 55,000 souls who saw Washington Stat whip Stanford here today, 14 to 13, are convinced that the Rose Bowl is at least 420,000 miles away. And the rest know it is eVen farther. The Bears, under-dogs in wagering which favored tht Beavers 2 to 1, fought every inch of the way and gave the 1 visitors a merry scrap. But, when a punch was needed iJbn Stiner's boy had it and chalked up a 6 to 0 victory.

It took a seven-yard kick one of two for the same distance by Irdhically, fclcmg about 4 o'clock this afternoon Stanford )utt one Shqrt step away from Arroyo Beco. oup Briaugnntsay, Wit Palo Alto character-builder, could almoit smell tht rweet fragrant of January roses. Just one step sway But that wsi the step Franhie his Ail-American quarterback, overreached on his attempted conversion of Stanford'! Ikit touchdown in the third quarter. That fatal overstep caused Albert to stop the -ball. s' Vsi.s California's Bob Reinhard to set up the only score of the ball gamt.

In the third quarter, with neither team able to score and the ball on the California 29-yard stripe, the big Bear tackle dropped back to kick. Reinhard, ordinarily one of tht oountry's most dependable bootart, sailed wide to the right of the goal potts, and with it went. Stanford' ifiwled this important effort terribly. The ball slithered off the side of chances of a tie-rand perhaps the Rose Bowl. his loot, headed straight for the nearby side-lines and went out ori the while Stanford was blowing its second gam this season, Oregon California 84 an ignominious tqtaljt7 jards.

State was knocking off California, six to nix, thereby going Into That was airtheBeavers needed. Eight plays later, with the bal tie with the Indians for the Pacific Coast Conference lead, each with four nestling on the Bear two-yard stripe, Everett Smith, sub halfback, slashec through the center of tbe line for ix mighty important poins. I ''i v. I Warren Simas, second string quarterback, was rushed in to try tbf. victories and two defeats.

However, since' Oregon State ha beaten Stanford, it holds the distinct edge in the Rose Bowl election. Two hurdles remain Oregon State's path Montana next Saturday and Oregon the following week. Stanford, mean timer akes a dajr-off next Saturday and prays for a Montana' miracle. And (then Ym Jlnaft test I V.VLV -f II conversion but a arglng ealifornia Una wrecked the try for the extra Pnt. But two affiles a push-over with Montana next week and tougbie the Big Game.

with Oregon the week JoHowkig now stand between tbe Beaver and the Rosa they can so through this pair without a loss they'ra The irony of fata is that Washington State, the dramatic ooquerof cinch. The eonference has already established a precedent that, in ase of both Oregon State AND Stanford is virtually eliminated from Hose Bowl consideration, because it was beaten by Washington and atoo cl a We, the team that whips the outfit with which rt is Med gets the Pasadena shot. if dt 3 1 In this particular ease the Beavers have already licked the outfit dropped one-point decisions to the Trojans and U.C.L.A., of ail people. Life does become complicated, doesn't it? Stanford Lucky, Got Off Easy which how marches head and head with them at the top of the procession. They gained a 10 to 0 victory over Stanford on'October 11.

Thus, unless the league reverses its field, the Beavers are in if they can win tht next two. Make no mistake of it, Washington State's victory today was no fluke. The Cougars' margin should have been could have been much larger. As for actually winning by a single point, that was poetic Justice About That Lonesome Touchdown since Washington State already has lost two games by one point. I I Now lor that lonesome touchdown marchof the victors: Oregon, thanks to Reinhard's poor Jkick, stood with the ball only Stanford entered the game a solid 3 to I favorite, even money to win by 14 points.

But those odds were false. Because Washington Stat took a 7-0 lead, in the first quarter and never relinquished command yards away from a touchdown. IE it Bob Dethman tried a long pass but it was no good, And then Joe Day took charge. The 187-pound kid from Seaside. Ore- until the final gun.

Stanford can have no alibi. Ms great running back, Pete Kmetovie gon, isn't good enough for a first string berth with the Beavers but he was declared out of the gam last night because of a cold, reported in perfect good enough today to win 'em a baH game. Like a thunderbolt he slashed into center and came to earth 11 yards closer to the goal line. ft' 4 o-' 1 health.

JYom start to finish Stanford played a losing game, trying every thing knew just to get even. And was topical that Jay Stoves, Beavers seemed to have a eertain score within their grasp but fumbled it away. Taking over after receiving a punt, the Beavers startad work on the Washington State haVfbeek, intercepted one of Albert's prayerful passes 50-yard line.
