Runners Lead Total Offense By the Associated Press Two young men whose foot ball talents are confined to tuck ing the ball under an arm and running over all obstacles to ward the goal lines are running one-two among the major college total offense leaders. They are defending rushing champion Art Luppino, who went to Arizona as a baseball player but can't throw due to a football injury, and dashing Jim Swink of Texas Christian. What’s more, its the first time In the 20 years major college statistics have been officially kept that a runner has topped the total offense list at this stage. No player ever has won the offense title by rushing alone. NCAA Service Bureau statis tics released Tuesday show Lup pino has picked up 529 yards on 89 rushes in four games. Swink has carried 54 times for 484 yards to take second by a four yard margin over Columbia's Claude Benham, who gains most of his yards by passing. Naturally, Luppino and Swink are first and second in rushing with Bob James of Auburn third with 360 yards. In addition, Swink is the leading major col lege scorer with 62 points in 10 touchdowns and two conversions and Luppino is third with 43, one behind Jon Arnett of Southern California. Three of the first 10 men In rushing are from the Pacific Northwest. Bill Tarr, Bellingham, Wash., of Stanford, is fourth with 80 rushes good for 355 yards in four games. Jim Shanley, Ore gon, is sixth with 38 rushes which made 312 yards and Dick James, also Oregon, is 10th with 53 rushes good for 298 yards. Both Shanley and James have also played only four games. There were no West Coast men in the first 10 total offense lead ers and only one in the first 10 forward passers. He was Andy Gustafson, Stanford, who was ninth. In four games, he has completed 24 of 42 passes for 230 yards and a .571 completion av erage. Sophomore Joe Clements of Texas tops a forward passing list on which eight of the top ten performers play east of the Mississippi. Clements and Nick Consoles of Wake Forest have completed 39 passes apiece. But the Texan has tried one less, 62 to 63. Clem ents also has gained more ground by passing—452 yards— and ranks sixth in total offense with a net gain of 437 yards. One of the most remarkable passing records belongs to Wis consin's Jim Haluska, the only .700 pitcher. Haluska threw 14 strikes of 18 pitches against Purdue and now has a .757 com pletion average of 28 out of 37 tries. Three have been inter cepted, leaving only six incom plete.

Games Officials Fear Nationalism SAN FRANCISCO IJR-Who is going to win the 1956 Olympic Games at Melbourne, the United States or Russia ? American sports fans find that question a good topic for spirited debate. But members of the International Olympic Com mittee find it a fearsome thing, a danger to their cherished ideals of Olympic competition. With physical arrangements for the Melbourne games near ing completion, the men be hind the Olyjnpic* are turning their attention more and more to the fierce nationalism that spawns the question and keeps it alive. "The Olympic Games are con tests between individuals,” presi dent Avery Brundage of the in ternational committee said Wed nesday. “They are not —• and they must not become—contests between nations to decide the superiority of one nation over another, or of one political sys tem over another.” Brundage and* Lewis Luxton, chairman of the organizing com mittee for next year's games, pleaded with newsmen to do what they could to abolish—or at least minimize—the use of any unofficial point system to deter mine the leading teams in Olym pic competition. Luxton said everything pos sible was being done in Australia to give what he called “true meaning" to the Olympics. There will be just one Olympic Village, and competitors from both sides of the Iron Curtain will be en couraged to mix freely. Waldorf said it wasn’t yet cer tain that Nicholson would get into play Saturday, but that left helfback John Wilson and full back Steve Dimeas definitely would be in the game. Waklorf said the Bears would work out Friday afternoon at Multnomah stadium after they arrive in Portland. SEATTLE Uft—A short defen sive scrimmage against Baylor’s T-formation offense and a long workout on new pass patterns featured the University of Wash ington’s preparation Wednesday for Saturday’s game with the Texans. Coach John Cherberg said he is seeking variety in Washington’s offense and is trping out the new pass patterns “to establish a firm, aerial game in which we have confidence.” The coach said Washington's big problem is to prevent its of fense from becoming static while relying on its notably strong de fense. through which only two touchdown plays have been made in four games this year. CORVALLIS MV-Six of Ore gon State’s regulars, injured in the game against UCLA last week, still were on the sidelines with injuries Wednesday. Coach Tom Prothro said, how ever, that tailback Joe Francis and guard Bob Riggert might be able to play against College of Pacific at Stockton next Satur day. The other four are end Norm Thiel, tackle Howard Buettgen bach, guard John Sniffen, and halfback Ray Westfall.
