Prothro to Restore Single Wing for Oregon State Gridders
Prothro plans to revive Oregon State football with the single wing, shifting Ray Westfall to tailback and Dick Mann to wing back. With 26 lettermen, the Beavers aim to rebound from last season’s 1-8 mark. Key line losses include Ron Ashbacher, Laird Brattain, and Wed Ediger, as the schedule softens with clashes against Stanford, Washington, and California ahead.
