Figures compiled by The As

Bob Friend of the Pittsburgh
Pirates topped the National
League in the earned run rat

pitcher on a last-place club ever
to capture ERA laurels. These
statistics were first tabulated in

eighth big league season, al
lowed only 45 earned runs in 206
innings He won 15 games and
lost 10. Six shutouts were in
cluded among his 16 complete
games.
Friend, a 24-year-old right

pitcher to wear the ERA crown
since 1935 when Cy Blanton was
the kingpin The only other Pi

Ray Kremer, who won in 1926
and 1927.

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.
