Lon, in an un orthodox fashion, was protesting that he had a pretty fair football team this fall, and certainly one that nu a better fate than the division where most of us the Beavers in advance pictions.

SHOULD LISTEN As it has turned out, we should have listened to Stiner. By all rights, the Oregon State team should bo unbeaten today, since it took a belated thrust by Southern California to turn the trick in the opening game of the season. All Stiner and the Beavers have done since is to knock off the two best teams in the circuitStanford and Washington. Washington State. Idaho, U.C.

L.A., California, Montana and Oregon come up next, in the order mentioned. And you might say, only Oregon constitutes a serious threat to a team that is able to beat the Huskies and Indians on successive Saturdays. LETTER OF THANKS On my desk when I returned from New York and way points was a letter of thanks from Lon for a column written in the East which said Oregon State had a good chance to beat Washington. Stiner should have written to Dick Cullum, Minneapolis scribe, who tipped me off. "Thanks very much for your support in picking Oregon State to take Washington.

Although our team still rates' 'average' in this tough Pacific Coast Conference, we have the best morale in years, and we feci we always have a chance. BOYS TIRED "The boys are on the tired side this week. However, we have two days of rest between now and the Stanford game. I hope the tough opening schedule of Southern California, Stanford and Washington the first three Saturdays will not show Its effect this week." Since those "tired" boys went out and slapped down Stanford two days after Stiner took his typewriter in hand, it is safe to say opposing coaches hope such fatigue doesn't set in again at vCorvallis this season. If you will look back on Stin-er's coaching record at Oregon State since he took over in 1933, it will bring you up with a start.

In that first year, after he arose from an assistant to take Paul Schissler's post, the Beavers broke Southern California's winning streak at 26 games. FANCY RECORD And, during the five years of round-robin play in the conference, the Beavers have earned No. 4 position in the circuit. That's behind Southern California, California and Washington. His record in eight seasons is 43 wins, 28 defeats and 11 ties.

During that time Oregon State has held a victory edge over every team in the Northwest. During the last three seasons the Orangemen finished third in the conference standings and, with the possible exception of 1910, the experts never rated them a chance. NOT FLASHY What Stiner might have ac-' complished in a school better fortified for football la hard to say. He isn't a flashy individual. In fact, Lon is modest to a fault.

That was true back in the days when he was playing a star role at tackle for Nebraska. He was a shot-putter on the track team when I was running my legs off for the Cornhusker school, and so my knowledge of Stiner is more than passing in formation. When he struck out for the University of Colorado as line coach after graduation, none fig-! ured this big, soft-spoken guy was headed very far. Anyone who thought he knew would have named half a dozen players off the 1926 Nebraska grid team that would go farther. Only one has.

Schissler took him to Oregon State in 1928 and Lon never left. P.S.: Stiner has grown on the folks up at- Corvallis so much since that it would take some- (0. thing like an order from the I President of the United States .13. to pry him loose now. 1 BY PAUL LOWRY A new star in the Trojan firmament and an old one teamed together yesterday to spark Southern California to a hard-earned victory over the battling Washington State Cougars before a crowd of 40,000 spectators at the Coliseum.

The score was 7 to 6. Ivctwecn them, Paul Taylor, who previously had participated in only a few plays in the opening game of the season, and the veteran Hobby Robertson reaped the day's individual honors with brilliant runs, clever passing and heads-up defensive play.

But for the courageous, never-say-die fight waged by Babe Hoi-lingbery's Cougars, the Trojans would have won by a much more lopsided score. in addition to the unrecognized touchdown, the Trojans missed at least two other tallies through the spirit of the Cougars.

From a Washington point of jview, it wasn't so bad in the first half, for the clouds dripped only lightly and the Huskies played the trousers off the Southland visitors.

But in the last half the drizzle became a real soaker and the alleged fast-track. Bruins came back with a determination (that turned a potential rout into quite a fracas, after all.
