14. (JP) A sophomore quarterback's punt, that rode a strong west wind for 65 yards in the opening minutes of the game, put the University "of Washington Huskies in the hole today and set the stage for a 6-to-O Washington State College triumph that thrilled 20,000 fans in the annual cross-State football war. The punter was Bill Sewell, 175-pound left halfback of a pony backfield that worked behind an alert, vicious line to turn back every Husky thrust after the payoff marker in the first quarter. ALWAYS IN HOLE The Cougars struck through the air when that first-quarter opportunity came. Sewell's long boot had bounced on the Washington 5-yard line, and there the Cougar ends slammed the re OREGON STATE STAGES LATE RALLY TO NIP PORTLAND U.

Catholic won by playing heads-up ball and taking advantage of the breaks. horrid fumbling and breaks. Two line plays put the ball on the 13 and set the stage for the tally.

In five plays, the Bruins had their touchdown, the sweep including a 21-yard pass from Washington to Don MacPherson and a 10-yard scoring run around right end by Bill Overlin.

Frawley made it 7-0 and the "big Bruin rooting delegation sat back to enjoy the day. PENALTY HURTS But a 15-yard penalty soon afterward set the Bruins back to their 5 and Overlin's kick went out only to the 30, where Albert, freshly in the game, bagged it and came back 15. He tossed one incomplete then cut back for, 8. Standlee picked up 4 more through guard and then Albert fed a flip to Groves, who took it on the 10 and dodged across the goal unmolested.

Driving hard through center, Nagel was always there to pile up the The game was first brought to my attention by a Miss Yuri Hayashi, who Is well under five feet tall, Japanese, not too hefty and by self-admission the center on a girls' football team not embroiled in the Amazon-Hollywood Stars thing. A question which immediately popped into my mind concerned physical ramifications of this idea of the ladies smashing the line, bucking off tackle, hitting the turf, being pounded from stem to stern by half a dozen or, more sisters who eventually dump the poundee face downward and pile on.

Miss Yuri Hayashi, however, states that the gals don't mind that sort of thing and anyway have pads to protect them in spots. Among the lady athletes is one Andy Fay. Andy is 205 pounds of center on the Hollywood Star team. She does not shave, so they say. At left tackle is Amy Lemmens, who is termed a "rangy, powerful blond of about 160 pounds." 'Mugs' Plays Street Football "Mugs" Hyam is right end for the Stars and 'tis said of Mugs that she has played street football with the older boys for several years.

Her mother would not permit her brother to play football, which is no reflection upon tjie strength, size and courage of the brother but rather a comment upon Mugs. (That's me at the head of the column, Muggs, if you come after me. D.H.) Dempsey, who is a reformed football official, says that Bubbles Bressie calls signals like a Notre Dame quarterback. I take it that he means they both use English words to designate plays. Bubbles is a "short, peppery blond with oodles of personality," according to my scout's report on her, and, further, "the other night in practice her pants were too big and almost came off while she was running for a touchdown." Aileen (Al) Berry is a sister of the John (Buck) Berry who caught that Oregon pass over the goal line which made El Trojan's face red.

She is a right halfback. Fullback Lois Terry was known as the "Platinum Blond Terror" when she pitched in the softball league, but a slight dish of this football and she is no longer a platinum. She, says the scout, is "a smashing type and a good hard blocker." What, WHAT Is this world coming to? The loving, clinging vines now are "smashing types and good hard blockers!" I don't know what all of this feminine activity is supposed to prove in the world of sports. In fact, I'm wondering if the report of it doesn't belong on the entertainment pages or over with the crime news. yardage when first downs were badly needed.
