The football season is still a baby but already there has
been a lot of yelling, both for and against various teams. Three
weeks ago the big squawk was over alleged unethical tactics
used against the Baltimore Colts by the Los Angeles Rams
in their National Professional football league opener. The
Colts were chagrined after the Rams pulled the old sleeper
play by sending a flanker out to the sidelines where the Balti
more players couldn’t see him and then throwing a pass which

The Colt coach protested
to Bert Bell, the league com
missioner who thereupon
warned the league as a
whole that these “unsports
manlike” plays would be re
warded with penalties from
that time on. Apparently
the commissioner didn't be
lieve any of his pro teams
could get caught by such an
out-fashioned play even
though the Colt team was
caught flatfooted.
The next weekend the veils j
came fast and furious, with no 1
less than three major contro- ’
versies filling the columns this *
week. Probably the major ar
gument of the week centered

of th^, day which, incidentally, was the only tally in the game
and resulted in the Badgers taking an important 6-0 decision.
The score came on a play following a Michigan State time
out when -star Halfback LeRoy Bolden was injured. The
Spartan coaches were so concerned over Bolden's condition
that they forgot to put in a substitute, and on the next play
Wisconsin scored against only 10 Michigan State defenders.
The Spartan protest was to no avail since the time-out
was over when play started The rules penalize a team when
more than 11 men are on the field during play, but a play
stands when either team has less than the standard number.
Several Accusations Made
Other complaints centered around charges of dirty
playing, an excuse found during every football season,
but seldom heard from a winning team. In one Saturday con
test. however, the winning team wasn’t satisfied with winning
the game, but also thought it had to work too hard to do it,
according to Emmett Watson, sports writer for the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.
Following Washington’s hard-fought 17-7 victory over
Oregon State at Portland, Watson charged in his column
that the Beavers played dirty and rough football, a charge
based on the injuries of quarterbacks Sandy Lederman,
Bob Cox and Mel McCain.
Washington was unquestionably unhappy over these losses
since Lederman was leading the nation in passing, and the
broken leg he suffered will put him out for the season.
Oregon State Denies Charges
Oregon State officials vehemently denied the charges, with
Coach Kip Taylor stating that any dirty playing by his team
members would result in their automatic dismissal from the
team. The game movies bore him out, but Watson is demand
ing that Coast Conference officials take action. It's unlikely
if anything will come of it, however.
The big pro game between the Los Angeles Rams
and San Francisco 49er’s also brought its post game
squabble when the 49er’s charged that the Rams had de
liberately injured several San Francisco players. But this
turned out to be mostly talk also, when movies showed that
every injury came as the result of clean, hard blocks and
tackles. Incidentally, those who missed this game on either
radio or TV were really left out. The game ended in a 24-24
tie.
A short note from UCLA, defending Pacific Coast confer
ence champions, reveals that Coach Red Sanders h^s a big
goal in mind for his team this year, even though they aren’t
eligible for the Rose Bowl, having played in it last New Year’s
Day- The goal? Number One in the nation.
Trio From PCC
Lead in Passing;
Shaw Still First
LOS ANGELES-(AP)-The Pa
cific Coast conference preference
for the forward pass is reflected
in national college football sta
tistics. Westerners take the top
three places In individual pass
ing.
The national leader in both
passing and total offense is Ore
gon quarterback George Shaw.
Despite some sprains which have
plagued him for two weeks, the
Webfoot star has completed 41
passes for 580 yards and gained
a total of 661 yards.
California’s Paul Larson is sec
ond with 37 aerials completed
for 443 yards. Sandy Lederman,
who tossed 35 good ones for
Washington before a broken leg
put him out, has rolled up 459
yards.
But the PCC isn’t content to
sit back and stare at those fig
ures. '
Trojans Prep
Oregon, drilling for its TV |
Game of the Week with USC at
Portland, worked on goal line
defense. The Trojans prepped
with an extensive aerial drill
and saved some time for defense
against the passes they expect
from Shaw .
The key technique for signal
calling came in for attention,
too. "We’ve spent more time with
our quarterbacks this season
than ever before,” USC Coach
Jess Hill said. ”1 guess it’s just
a question of the signal callers
getting more experience."
Indications were that Stan
ford will take to the air at Los
Angeles against UCLA .Soph
omore quarterback John Brodie
wil^ start. Sam Morley, Stan
ford's great pass catcher of last
year, was added to the coaching
staff to soup up the ends.
Pessimistic
Coach Chuck Taylor said a 40
minute scrimmage looked shoddy
—but observers pointed out he's
said that just before Indian vic
tories.
One point may make the dif
ference in the Stanford game,
UCLA coach Red Sanders seems
to think. He put the place-kick
ers to booting for the goal posts
most of the day. Stanford
chopped down UCLA 21-20 last
year.

Texan Voted
Back of Week
NEW YORK tAPi - Ronald
Clinkscale, a tall Texan who can
make plenty of speed without the
help of a horse, engineered one of
the major upsets in college foot
ball last weekend when Texas
Christian beat Southern California
20- 7. And by doing this Ronnie
Wednesday earned the designa- i
tion of Associated Press Back of
the Week.
Cox Named
plinkscale's one-man raid on
the Southern California defenses
put him ahead of another upset
producer. Navy’s Joe Gattuso. and
Washington s Bob Cox, who al
most got an upset, in the eyes of
the nation's sportswriters and
broadcasters.
Gattuso, X a v y's battering
fullback, was tabbed for his
performance in leading the
Midshipmen to victory over
Stanford, 27-0.
Cox. Washington sophomore
quarterback, caught the eyes of
several experts. Assigned to start
his first game—and against pow
erful UCLA—after the regular
QB, Sandy Lederman, broke a leg,
Cox almost pulled out with a vic
tory after the Huskies had trailed
21- 0 in the third quarter. Cox took
to the air for 147 yards and three
touchdowns and UCLA barely
won, 21-20.
Shaw Too
Others nominated for Back of
the Week included fullback Bill
Murakowski of Purdue, Dave
Leggett of Ohio State; George
Shaw, who engineered Oregon’s
upset of California, and Pete
Vann of Army.
