Beavers Inexperienced, But Will Be In Condition scrimmages CORVALLIS, Ore. M -Oregon State's new coach, Tommy Pro thro, who apparently figures he has nothing to lose anyway, or dered a scrimmage on the first day of practice. When the players emerged with out injury, Prolhro grinned over his luck, and said it proved his boys were in excellent condition. ne at once ordered daily to keep, and prove, on that condition Now if condition and luck could win the Coast Conference title, Prothro and his boys might be the ones to watch. But not even the grinning Pro- imu, mrmer assistant at UCLA, believes that. Difficulty Outlined He has a team that (A) finished last in the conference last sea son; (B) has started to learn perhaps the 240-pound tackle who was on the verge of stardom as a sopho more, just before going into the Army lor two years. Now he is back, looking as fast as before and twice as tough. Another is Ray Westfall, a jun ior from Honolulu who showed brilliance at times last year as a T-formation quarterback. He can also run and punt, and so is expected to be the tailback in the new. system. His replace-. mem is anotner player trom Ha waii, sophomore Bud Francis. Francis is faster, but the edge in passing goes to Westfall. Letter-men Weak Prothro also has 23 other letter men, but they were not impres sive as a group last year, when the line was leaky and reserves lack ing, inis still may te the case, newffens? improvement is to no sure-tire crare 1 - . So he is making the best of it, with one eye to the future. The new offensive svstem will be the single wing the UCLA ver sion. The hope is to correct some of the faulty blocking shown by Oregon State last season. Prothro believes the double teaming possible in single-wing play will open more holes for the Staters than did the single-man blocking of T-formation. Standouts Lacking As for the standout players, Prothro will just have to develop them. He has a couple of fine prospects to begin with. One is John Witte, Five of last year's regulars will be among the starters to bolster tne team, inev include tackle Howard Buettgenbach, guard Bob Kiegert. center Larrv Stevens halfback Dick Mason and fullback lorn Berry. Oregon State will open against Bngnam Young at Corvallis, Sept, 17.

Side talk during an emergency session of PCL directors here Mon day indicated that only three minor items were left to be resolved oe- for the league gives blessing to the move. Brick Laws, president ot tne Oaks, and PCL president Claire Goodwin were en route to British Columbia Tuesday for a meeting with the Vancouver City Council to hammer out the final details.

In 20 innings, he's given up 13 earned runs while losing his only two decisions to them by 13-4 and 14-5 scores. The Indians will have to keep a sharp eye on Mickey Vernon, the Senators' veteran first base man. Vernon has clobbered Cleve land pitching for 28 hits in 81 at bats, a .346 average while batting in 16 runs and failing to hit safely in only one of the 19 games played between the teams. Billy Pierce, the White Sox' soulhpaw ace, is over the 2.00 earned run mark for the first time Kansas City became an Ameri-1 since July 17. The battering he can League city. Denver, formerly took from the Yanks Saturday (6 a member of the Western League, I runs in 1 1-3 innings), put Pierce has been packing its park with j at 2.13, still good for the American customers. In one stretch of eight League lead. Whitey Ford of New nights, the Bears averaged over York is the runncrup with a 2.52 111,000 per game. 'earned run average. DENVER PACKS PARK DENVER Ml The moguls of the American Assn. are glad they voted Denver into their loop after Bob Lemon last went the dis tance for Cleveland way back on May 30, yet he's been credited with 10 victories since then with an assist to Ray Narleski and Don Mossi. When it comes to versatility there's no surpassing the Indians' Al Smith. He has played 9 games in the outfield, 2 games at third base, 5 at shortstop and 1 game at second base. Three reasons the Chicago Whit Sox have failed to keep pace with the Indians and Yankees: Minnis Minoso has not had a hit in his last 15 at bats: Jim Rivera has collected only two hits in his last 24 trips while George Kell has had two safeties in his last 22 at bats.

They also will settle the City Series, ' tied at 14-14 in the PCL season. Ostensibly, the series is to settle third place, but actually it is to give the players a chance to cut up 70 per cent of the gross from the first three games. The man agements take 15 per cent each of the first three, then share the entire receipts if additipnal games are required. Los Angeles is favored to win. The Angels are playing on their home field, where the Stars haven't been very successful this season. English Heavyweight Contender Underdog LONDON wi Don Cockell of England, making his first appear ance since being laid low by heavyweight champ Rocky Mar ciano, was a 4-5 underdog in a comeback bid against Cuba's Ni no Valdes at White City Stadium Tuesday night. Valdes will be trying to regain some prestige, too. He lost his chance for a possible title fight while taking successive thumpings from light-heavy champion Archie Moore and Bob Satterfield. Cockell now ranked No. 4 among the contenders, was stopped in the ninth round of his championship fight with Marciano May 16 in San Francisco. Valdes is un ranked.
