Last week, Oregon State's Coach Lon Stiner confessed that his real field general is a salaried alumnus, who sits high above the playing field in the press box. Ex-Halfback Bob Dethman of O.S.C.'s 1942 Rose Bowl team keeps a close eye on the opponents' weaknesses. When he decides what play to call, he telephones to the bench and a substitute relays it to the Oregon State huddle. Says Stiner, who is a member of the rules committee: "All coaches are doing some signal calling. . . . That substitution rule has to be changed...
...Coach Alonzo Stiner and his Northwest farmers were not the least bit awed by Wallace Wade's Blue Devils. With Don Durdan, a left-handed right halfback, and Bob Dethman, a right-handed left halfback, carrying out clever hocus-pocus despite a drizzling rain, they fooled the Devils, scored the biggest upset since Columbia tripped Stanford in 1934.

This outcome did not necessarily mean that Coach Clark Shaughnessy's Stanford Indians were slipping. Nor did it necessarily mean that Coach Alonzo Stiner's Oregon State team had developed unexpected strength. The game was played in a downpour of rain-such a downpour that running, kicking, passing, handling the ball and above all the nice timing required for the operation of Stanford's T formation, were all matters of luck. The stage for the Beaver touchdown was set by a Stanford fumble on the 14-yd. line...
This description, by its Coach Alonzo Stiner, of the Oregon State team which last week arrived in Manhattan to play Fordham failed to do justice to its peculiarities. Young enough to be mistaken for one of his players. Coach Stiner, Nebraska tackle in 1925-26, has perfected a defense for passes so effective that Western teams have completed only four against Oregon State this year. The players who start the game finish it unless someone is severely hurt; in three successive games this season, Oregon State used only one substitute. Most eccentric of all Coach Stiner's notions...
Little Irvine ("Cotton'') Warburton, Southern California's quarterback, was accused of choosing his plays poorly by Coach Alonzo Stiner, whose Oregon State team held U. S. C. to a scoreless tie. Last week, against the University of Oregon, which beat Oregon State, Warburton caught three forward passes, turned one of them into one of the four touchdowns that won for Southern California...
