Beavers Profit AS Huskies Err os tHc hSsOClAleO ETeSS. SEATTLE. Oct. 15-Taking advantage Of Washington misplays. Oregon State College defeated the Huskies, 13 to 6. in Pacific Coast Conference football game today. Twenty thousand fans were dumfounded to see Coach Jimmy Phelan’s fumbling footballers make it three losses and a tie in four starts, after being hailed as potential conference champs. Five fumbles, one leading to Ore gon States first touchdown, put the skids under the Huskies and kept them from making any head way except when they maneuvered their only score in five plays at the outset of the second half.
