A Must For Fans Of The Orange and Black October 11, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
"Tales from Oregon State Sports" offers a kalidescopic look at the rich, often colorful history of sports at Oregon State University. Co-authors Jeff Welsch and George P. Edmonston Jr. have done a wonderful job of bringing to light some of the lesser-known moments in the OSU heritage, but they've also managed to make some of the more familiar legends (such as the fabled "Giant Killers" OSU football team of 1967) seem fresh.
Another excellent aspect of the volume is that the authors have sought to portray the total spectrum of athletics over the past century-plus on the Corvallis campus. Even though the basketball and football programs have gained the most fame, there's also plenty in here about wrestling, baseball, women's sports, track and field, and more.
As is always the case, the best sports stories are human stories. In this volume, you will become better acquainted with legendary coaches like Slats Gill, Dee Andros, Ralph Miller and Knute Rockne. (Yes, Rockne. Read the book and you will learn why Rockne was a member of OSU's summer faculty for three years). You will also get to know outstanding players and some very faithful fans.
This book is an absolute must for Beaver fans, and should be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in the history of college athletics.--William C. Hall
