The football wolves are clef- I
initely out for WSC coach Phil
Sorhoe's h i cl e. Great things
were expected of the Palouse
^ eleven this season,but onlv two
wins in seven has already
started the often-heard cry of
“Get a winning coach.” Per
haps Washington State has not
measured up to preseason pro
mise. but most of the Cougars'
schedule has been no daisy
chain either.
* Sorboe's team opened against
PHIL SOKBOE
renn otare, one oi tne most powemu teams in tne n,ast, ana
, list 27-0. The Nitanny Lions are still unbeaten. In their next
outing, the Cougars met Southern California in the “jinx”
Coliseum, and'dropped a 21-0 decision. Nevertheless, the North
erners stole the show second half. The Trojans, too, are still
unbeaten.
First Win Over Idaho
Washington State crashed the victor}’ column against Idaho,
netting a hard fought 7-0 edge, but then lost toNi hot-and-cold
Michigan State team 21-7. The powerful California Golden
• Bears were next to trim WSC, 21-6, despite the Cougars out
playing Cal the last two periods, scoring once and holding the
'*■ Waldorfmen scoreless.
The 13-12 loss at the hands of Montana was the payoff, for
although the Grizzlies went home with the victory under
their belt, the Cougars fumbled away at least four certain
scoring opportunities. Last week’s 35-0 victory for the Pa
louse men over Portland was the first indication that Sorboe’s
team may be finding its potential strength. Although the
Pilots are winless this season, they were expected to put up
‘ more of a battle, especially on muddy Multnomah field where
the game was played. - - - --
* In every game the remainder of this season, the Cougars have
absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain when they
, trot on the field. And an upset verdict over Oregon will be
just what they’re out for Saturday. Sorboe can afford to throw
the works. With the added factor of this being Washington
State's homecoming, that, too, is reason enough for the Cougars
to be at fever-pitch tomorrow.
Tackle and Center Outstanding
„ WSC boasts two outstanding linemen this year, left tackle
Bob Doornink and center Andy Lazor. Doornink is rated by
Frank Zazula, Oregon assistant, as the top performer in the
Pullman forward wall because of his aggressiveness and hard
charging.
Lazor is a terrific line-backer. He intercepted two passes
. each against Montana and Portland. Against the Pilots, he
snagged one heave and gallopped for a TD. Lazor is said
to pack the key to both the Cougar offense and defense. At
the right tackle slot will be 216-pounder Jerry Houghton.
The Washington State squad has three good guards, led by
Laurie Niemi who weighs 226. He twice received All-Coast
honors, and last year was once named “Lineman of the Week.’
The other two are 160-pound Elwood Sturdevant, and John
Godfrey, and rough-and-ready customers.
Top ends for the Cougars are Ing Thompson and Tom Baker,
both weighing only 175 pounds. They are fast men on offense,
and rate highly as pass receivers.
- McGuire a Sparkplug
Bobby McGuire, the sparkplug of the Portland victory, will
- probably start at quarter, with Dean Eggers and Bill Lippin
cott. All-Coast in ’45, as understudies. Eggers is a dangerous
_ runjier, while Lippincott is the Cougar extra-point man.
Broken-field speedster Jerry Williams, brother of Idaho s
- Billy Williams, is the ace Pullman halfback. Jerry is excep
tionally fast, and with some daylight can go the distance. At
- the other half is Don Paul, top-notch blocker.
The fullbacks for the Cougars are Hal Akins and Gordy
- Brunswick. Akins has a brother Frank playing for the Boston
Yanks, while another brother A1 performs for the Brooklyn
' Dodgers. Against Portland Hal netted 128 yards in 12 tries,
and gained much of his yardage by hurdling would-be
- tacklers.
Brunswick is a quick-pass and quick-kick specialist. This is
- most unusual since the Cougars work from the T-formation.
• On these plays the ball is passed directly through the quarter
„ back’s leg to Brunswick. He is unique in that he can pass with
^either hand ,and kick with either foot.
Six Volleyball Teams Survive

In the tightest afternoon of vol
leyball play displayed yet this sea
son, six clubs battered their way
into the ninth round as they suc
cessfully turned back their op
ponents in a soi:es of tilts which
were in doubt until the waning
moments of each contest.
Phi Delts Top SAM
Fhi Delta Theta led the parade
in the upper division as they took
the nod in two straight games
from Sigfna Alpha Mu by posting
15-10 and 15-1 decisions, to gain
third consecutive triumph. In the
first contest, the Sammies jumped
into an early advantage and ap
peared to be on their way. The
All intramural games which
were postponed Monday will be

were originally scheduled. Any

lead was shortlived, however, as
the Phi Delts soon found them
selves, took the lead at the half
way mark, and coasted in. The
second' game was much like the
latter moments of the first as the
victors had things completely to
their likings.
SAE Clips Westminster
SAE had a shaky afternoon in
recording its victories over an in
spired Westminster house clan as
the housemen twice came from
far behind in both tilts, only to fall
short. Starting like a house-afire,
the SAE gang flashed a blistering
net game and built up a decided
advantage by holding Westminster
scoreless. But boys on the short end
of the score were not to be denied
as they railed to within one point
of the leaders, only to see their
effort go out the window as SAE
pushed over the winning points
and take the first game, 15-8. The
second tilt was even closer than
the first, as Westminster came
within three points, but lost the
decision, 15-13.

being swamped in the initial set
