Watson Charges
'Dirty Football'
SEATTLE - ( API - A Seattle
sports columnist, with strong
implications, posed the question
Tuesday of whether Oregon
State deliberately practiced "an
open season on quarterbacks" on
University of Washington in
their Saturday night football
game at Portland.
The quick retort of Oregon
State athletic officials was on
emphatic "absolutely not.”
Emmett Watson raised the is
sue in his Post-Intelligencer
column in commenting on the
successive injuries that sidelined
Washington's three quarter
backs. He suggested the case
merits an official inquiry.
lilt fall* Signal*
Sandy Lederman went out with
a broken leg. Bobby Cox, the No.
2 field general, followed a few
plays later with a concussion,
but he was back at practice Mon
day. Mel McCain, No. 3, went
out after being shaken up in the
recond half, and a halfback took
over as signal caller.
YV I't h o ti t identifying any
source* of hi* information,
Watson wrote thnn an Oregon
State player told a Washing
ton player after the game that
OSC Coach Kip Taylor made
a remark to the team at half
time—after Letlerman and fox
were sidelined—tha’t "there’s
two gone.”
At Corvallis, Coach Taylor de
clared: “There is absolutely no
truth in Mr. Watson’s statement.
Oregon State does not play that
kind of football.”
Spec Keene, the OSC athletic
director, said: "There’s abso
lutely no truth to it. Kip Taylor
anti his football staff wouldn't
teach that kind of football. It's
not the way we play It at .Ore
gon Stute.”
Watson's column continued:
"This, I submit, is a matter
for Spec Keene, the Oregon
State athletic director, to inves
tigate. Thirty-five ball players
and some others were in the
OSC dressing room, so Keene
should have no trouble finding
the truth ...
“If Keene has no inclination
to investigate this matter then
It falls under the jurisdiction
of Commissioner Vie Schmidt
of the conference. It probably
falls under Ills jurisdiction any
way and flights north from
Ia>s Angeles are frequent and
fast.”
Asked for comment on the
ease, Coach Johnny Cherberg of
Washington said all he cared to
say was: "The game is ancient
history now and we are con
cerned with preparing the team
for the nation’s No. 2 club,
UCLA.”
yards per game to lead Cal which
hnH averaged 311. Still the Bearn
are rated an a stronger offen
Mlve team, and the Oregons need
all the defensive work they can
Ket.
Paul Larson, national total of
fensive leader in 53 has been sup
planted to date by Shaw but is
as dangerous as ever. In three
games Larson has completed 30
passes in 44 attempts for an
average of .682.
Besides Larson the Bears have
innning threats in John Wilson
and Ted Granger. Wilson has
averaged 11 ,.r> yards per carry
on 115 yards in 10 tries.
Cal will be hopped up to de
feat Oregon to retaliate for the
0-0 tie the two teams played
last year. So far this year Pappy
Wuldorf's new has beaten San
Jose State and lost to top
ranked Oklahoma and Ohio State.
