The 1929 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1929 college football season. In their sixth season under head coach Paul J. Schissler, the Beavers compiled a 5–4 record (1–4 against PCC opponents), finished in a tie for seventh place in the PCC, and outscored their opponents, 182 to 106.[1] Under coach Schissler, from 1925 to 1932, no team captains were elected.[2] The team played its home games at Bell Field in Corvallis, Oregon.
Background
[edit]Feeling ran high ahead of the November 16 game in Eugene against the University of Oregon Webfoots, when about a week before the contest Oregon State fans planted dynamite under the college "O" atop Skinner's Butte.[3] The loud blast destroyed a large chunk of the sign, and was interpreted as payback for the destruction of the "Lady of the Fountain" sculpture on the Oregon State campus the year before.[3] Not to be outdone in commission of sport-related vandalism, Oregon students responded with green and yellow paint reading "To Hell With OSC" on the school's Memorial Union and forestry buildings.[3]
