hospitnl bowling league in Chicago takes two days to wind up Its weekly session They start at 11 o'clock at night nnd quit at 1 o'clock in the morning By RUSSELL XEWLAND PALO ALTO Calif Nov A invincible Indians nailed their football battle flag on the ramparts of the Rose Bowl today with a thumping 28 to 14 victory over Oregon State's Beavers The team that Clark Shaugh-nessy coached from the Coast conference cellar to undisputed leadership in one season assured itself of nothing less than a tie for the title One game remains to be played against California With aix conference wins to its credit Stanford can do no worse than an even finish with Washington with still two games to go And inasmuch as the round table Indians already have vanquished Washington 20-10 there was not much more left than the shouting The assumption on all sides today was that the balloting of 10 conference members who vote on the western representative for the Rose Bowl would be a mere formality As was the case in victories against Southern California and Washington the unstoppable Stanford boys put on another stunning rally to conquer one of their toughest opponents Score Tied The score was tied 7-7 as they came out for the third period Within a period of nine minutes gridiron machine had crashed over with three touchdowns and a margin that made most of the 35000 fans rooting for them relax in relief Cheers filled the air as the Indians smashed 50 yards to break the deadlock pounded 33 yards after recovering a fumble then hit the turf on a 61 yard thrust after an intercepted pass Oregon State oulscored but still full of fight came back in the last quarter to capitalize on a Stanford fumble and move 19 yards for a touchdown For a short time thereafter the Northerners were still in the running They passed and smashed 70 yards to 11-yard marker then lost the oval on an intercepted pass Stanford scored on the first scries of plays after receiving the kickoff The 71 yard advance took exactly three and one-half minutes Oregon State retaliated with a march of its own to travel 58 yards and score 11 minutes after the game had opened It tied the count and they finished the half even up 7 to 7 Sparking the sensational attack of what many believe to he the greatest team in Stanford history was Frankie Albert 170 pound quarterback The tricky little field general aside from calling I he plays and handling his share of duties on defense gave an exhibition of left footed punting that brought gasps of amazement from the crowd He kicked for an average of 526 yards In addition he bobbed up to intercept several passes at crucial moments passed to Right Halfback Hugh Gallarneau for the third touchdown and did most of the ball booting on the kickoffs Lineups and summary: Oregon
