"Our kids know this floor and we may have bad an advantage. The big floor helped us against their press and it gave us more room to run our offense." Wold doesn't feel the Raiders will be at any disadvantage tonight against a Corvallis team which hasn't played for a week. "We might be a little tired playing two nights in a row, but I'm not won led about It," said Wold. "Our kids should be in good enough shape by now."

then Perry banked in a 10-footer. nd SUnford had the lead for good with 1:10 left before half time. The Cardinals led by as much as 56-42 before the Beavers showed much interest in catching up. The Beavers didnl make much of a move on the Cardinals until 7:15 remained, when Stanford led 62-52. The Beavers then went to a pressing man-to-maa defense.

Ray Blume immediately stole the ban and went the length of the court for a behind-the-head stuff, then he stole the ball on the In matter of a few seconds, the Beavers had taken control of the game, but instead of i scoring off Blume's steal, Jeff Stoutt missed a short jump shot and Blume committed a foul trying to et the rebound, Welch made both of his free throws, and instead of having the lead trimmed to six. the Cards were again on top by 10. Perry was determined to keep thenar-dinals there, answering three straight OSU baskets with jump shots of his own, Every time we'd get it down to six we'd turn it over or Perry would hit a basket, and we'd have to start our run all over again." said Miller. OSU cut the lead to 6W0 with 5:12 left, to with 4:30 left, and to 704 with 4:01 left, tilt Stanford climbed back on top by 10 at 74-64 with 3:40 remaining. The Beavers rallied again in the closing two minutes, but ran out of time.

OSU cut Stanford's lead to 75-72 with 48 seconds left and to 78-74 with 13 seconds left, but Tom Schmalzreid put the game out of reach with a free throw with eight seconds remaining. Steve Johnson led OSU with 25 points and eight rebounds and Blume had 14 points, four steals and four assists. Steve Smith made five assists and had three steals.

USC is 17-8 overall and 12-4 in league. (Continued from page 17) emphasizes they could be offered before football begins in the fall. "Again by design, we decided to save a couple of scholarships," Fertig said. "In the past, we have pidr-ed up guys who became disenchanted with junior college programs." Fertig talked about Oregon State's procedure in recruiting football players. "Not only do we spend time in the home with the parents, but I try to spend at least a half-hour with each recruit In my office when they are visiting Oregon State.

"That gives me a chance to talk one-on-one with the players. And one of the first questions I ask them is what they think of Cwvallis. And almost all of them say Corvallis has the friendliest people they have ever seen. And we appreciate that." Here is a list of football players that have signed letters of intent with Oregon State: High school players: Jay Poorman, -J. offensive guard from Aloha High School of Portland.

them; He said the most significant loss is fullback Jim Solberg of Corvallis High, who signed with Stanford. Chuck Solberg Jim Solberg's father has taken a position as running backs coach at Oregon State. And Fertig had hoped that might help the Beavers sign Jim Solberg. "Jimmy was one we really wanted," said Fertig. "Uis fortunately.

Chuck had always told Jimmy that he needed to study hard if he wanted to go to Stanford. And Jimmy listened to him." The Beavers signed defensive tackle Jim Wilson of Crescent Valley and linebacker Craig Sowash of Corvallis. Sowash is the son of Oregon State assistant coach Sowash. "We think Jim Wilson will be an outstanding player." said Fertig. "He's, one of many high school players we recruited who-ean play more than oiMVfosition.

"It was really kind of an emotional scene when Sowash signed with us," Fertig continued. "His dad misspelled his name and Craig cried all over his letter. Seriously we're happy to have Craig." Fertig-says Gary Lee, a 6-1. 170-pound wide receiver from Poly High School in Long Beach, has the potential to be a great player for the Beavers. "Gary sas the potential to be the best player on the list." said Fertig.

"HisbrotherplayedatUSCandbelGaryitsibetter player." The Beavers signed Paul Franklin, a 6-Ji. 210-pound defensive back from Santa Ana Valley High School in Santa Ana. Calif. Franklin is the brother of Noble Franklin, who started at cornerback for the Beavers last season. "If he's half as good as Noble, we've got a gem there." said Fertig.

"He's bigger than Noble and he real-ly does have good size." The Beavers still have two scholarships to offer. For now. Fertig plans to bold those scholarships. But he Armand Chong, 6-0, 170-pound wide receiver from I I it a. i nt.iw nign arnooi oi Hawaii Indiana State regains No.

"We played very well in both this game and the OCLA game." said Belton. "I wouldn't say one game was better than the other, but in both games things seemed to click. We had a solid defensive and offensive effort for 40 minutes." Miller said his team "got out-played," but said "most of the mistakes can be credited to my own ball club. Stanford made some nice interceptions, but it was because we decided to play one-on-one, and my teams don't play that way." Miller scratched his head and summed things up like this: "It was a living example of our loss at Arizona State.

Our team went into this game with the same attitude and got the same result. It doesn't make any difference how much you impress these players that they're going to be playing against a good team. You can't get a simple message across to them. It takes some people a long, long time to learn, and some people maybe never will. I guess.
