There are two 4-4-1 seasons be hind it. Bob George likes to stay out of spots. At 8-8-2 the guy is even with the board. And the whole thing makes a nice-looking assem blage of numbers on paper. Im pressive, you know. "We're accomplishing what we set out to do," intoned Mr. George when we set out to ask him about what was doing, "and that was to build a good, big, solid founda tion." "I think our overall strength is going to be pretty good." George elaborated. "You can see the difference. Our frosh teams of the last couple years have been doing pretty good. This year we awarded 37 jayvee and 34 frosh letters. Coupled with 11 returning varsity lettermen, this gives us a nucleus of 82 kids next year if they all turn out." "You can see the difference." THE FOLLOWING will remem ber that in 1953 the turnout was but 32 football candidates and in 1954 somewhere around 45. George calls eaoh one a "po tential player," but though he feels that "numbers are not-everything" i they "certainly are an indication." "I would say," ne said, mat our material is adequate, not out standing. We have no great SKUl or speed. I don't think we have a dov coming up inai is uuimhuuuib. "Spirit is good and determina tion will count a lot. The kids are getting into good habits. Our sys tem is taking hold and both the boys and the coaches are better acquainted wun n ana are wont ing into the system better." GEORGE generalized: "I don't think we'll have a great ball club, but I think we'll be good enough to play real interesting football, and anytime we walk out there we'll be capable of winning a ball game." He surmised rather strongly that the team will be fundamental ly sound with a high measure of drive and execution. Jery Droscher. Bill Oerdine and Bill Johnston return to the of fensive backfield with letters. De fensive letterback Marvin Fray will probably get a try offensively but may get the call at end.

In fact, next fall the Indians will be able to field an all-letter man unit if they chose to out ex perience at every position from their 11 returnees. FRANK PURDY lettered at cen ter: Mel Thomas and Jim Coen at guards; Jerry Sullivan and Larry Jacobs, at tackles and Al len Lindbloom and Ron Sanders, at ends. George looks to be able to use at least four or five promising award winners from each of the good jayvee and frosh teams. At least ne namea several wno snoW' ed the most promise. Good-looking jayvee prospects are Rod Zilkowski and Lawson King, guards; Vern Foree, end: Gary Turner, guard or tackle; Lee Marsh, back; and a whole slough of unnamed sophomores who could develop. Four or five candidates off this year's frosh teams who may be heard from included Gary Welch and Russ Pinard, backs; Brent Long and Mike Vasey, linemen; Byron Auer and David Braddley, ends. ' THE COACH pointed out that the team and school will miss the graduates and especially the likes of Jim Schaeffer, Denny Brundage ana nuu ueamer, tne tnree all-districts and two all-staters whom he developed for two years run ning. He summarized: We'll be fast er, more experienced and deeper.' You can see the difference. District five coaches and prin cipals meet today at Cottage Grove for scheduling. The Indians will play their five district encount ers as customary and Medford in '55 for certain. Scheduling the Grants Pass game has come up with some problems. The Grants Passers con tacted George a few days ago and observed that they will be. unable to play the Indians during the last weeks of the season. The South ern Oregon Confea-epce (Medford, K. Falls, Ashland, GP) has block ed those final dates. It will be Med ford vs. GP the final week. A DECISION on the Grants Pass game will come up soon. Roseburg will play Medford next season, drop Prineville and Sandy from this year's sked, and will negoti ate for games with either Coquille, K. Falls. Ashland and a Portland school. The coaches and princioals will hash over the state grid playoff situation which has come up for some discussion in official circles lately. George is personally appreci ative of the system but more ob jectively sees flaws in the struc ture, it starts the season too early for everybody with one objective primarily in mind. For those not in the playoffs, the season ends too early. It should run to Thanksgiv ing. , With this time element corrects ed, George would probably take no issue. Portland Civic Center Sites Narrowed To Four PORTLAND Wl Likelv sites for Portland's DroDosed eieht mil lion dollar sports-exposition center were narrowed to four Monday by a special city committee. The committee directed Stanford Research Institute, which investi gated a number of sites earlier, to complete aetaiied studies of the four sites: The present civic audi torium and 12 blocks of property adjacent to it; 70 acres along the west bank of the Willamette River north of Ross Island Bridge; the 99 acres which once were East Vanport; a 20-block area on the east bank of the Willamette be tween the Broadway and Steel bridges. The auditorium site would not permit inclusion of the Pacific International Livestock Exposition but the others would.

About 30 of the "nukes are completed or in various stages of completion in town now, but there's no place to race them.

And sawdust could be spread on the floor in the event indoor rodeos in the winter months are held. Prep Gridders Use Protective Guards CHICAGO lifl High school foot ball players are going in heavily for the growing trend in use of face ana teetn guards for protec tion. H. V. Porter, executive secre tary of the National Federation of State High School Athletic Assns., made the report at a meeting of federation officials Monday. "Seventy-five per cent of mem ber schools now provide one or more players with face and teeth guards," Porter said. "Our survey shows that 20 per cent of all players wear some type of such guards," he continued. "I would guess that only one per ceni or less wore mem live or six years ago. Porter added his study indicates a decrease in facial injuries and that "89 per cent of coaches in the survey were of the opinion there should be wider use of this type of protection." The purpose of the meeting was to review the influence of equip ment in minimizing football in juries during the past season. PASS )Slo) 1490 KC.

Dec. 21, 1954 Shaw-Larson Run-Pass Duo Possible East-West Combo SAN FRANCISCO ufl The coaches played their usual coy game Tuesday as they herded their charges into training camps for the East-West Shrine football game Jan. 1 but they had a hard time concealing their feelings they are sitting on kegs of gridiron dyna mite. Neither Holy Cross' lean Eddie Anderson, coach of the East, nor California's roly-poly Lyn (Pap py) Waldorf, would post a predic tion beyond a "good game." SBut: . Anderson, a Notre Dame great back in the days of George Gipp, was so confident that Notre Dame's Ralph Guglielmi could mesh a winning T-formation at tack quickly that he's even think ing of tapering off the workouts at University of Santa Clara after the first three strenous two-a-days. Pappy is all for the strenuous buildup and intends to keep the two-a-days going at Stanford even after Christmas. Shaw, Larson Plaase - But he's so pleased with having both the nation's No. 1 passer, his own quarterback Paul Larson, and the No. 2, Oregon's quarter back, -George Shaw, that he's even toying with the idea of making one a halfback and using them togeth er.
