A new oscillation criterion is given for general superlinear ordinary differential equations of second order of the form x″(t)+ a(t)f[x(t)]=0, where a ∈ C([t0∞,)), f∈C(R) with yf(y)>0 for y≠0 and and f is continously differentiable on R-{0} with f'(y)≥0 for all y≠O. In the special case of the differential equation (γ > 1) this criterion leads to an oscillation result due to Wong [9].
