I I<;11111]> day for unfinished business colleced during (Iu--<•
In I leu (lav back on the sport- scene ... I his was the week
bcanl the story of this year's Shrine Kast-Wc -t game from
( Mcgon grid (. aplain I,on Stincr, w ho started at a tackle slot
for t he W est forces.
Lon said the weather was a
big factor in pre-game train
ing fcr both squads. Rains
causing the worst floods in
50 years forced many drills
indoors, thus eliminating
scrimmage sessions to a
great extent. Contact work
had been set at a minimum
in the first place to save the
teams from injuries, but
S t i n e r said that there
wouldn’t have been much
time for it anyway, “it took
us most of the time to learn
the orTense—and we had to
get that."
The Kast’* tno-t highly -

didn't ver\ much.”
Reichow Called 'Good Game
Stiner said that Jerri Reichow. the Iowa quarterback, whoi
drove the hast to victory almost single-handedly, was the
man to top. "He called a real good game.”
Lon said that he was especially disappointed that Dick
James. Oregon’s hard luck halfback, did not get to play.
“He would have been the best man in the West backfield.
and I know they would have used him both on offense and
defense—we really needed him." James broke his wrist
swimming in Grants Pass the weekend before he was to
report for practices.
Highlight of the trip for Stiner, and for most plavers
{•very year, was the trip to the Shrine crippled children’s hos
pital. "It was really amazing to see their shining faces and
those bright eyes.” Like the other players Lon had a crippled
child assigned to him. "His name was Frank Clark, about
l v from around Modesto. Jle had something wrong with
hi- hip joints and could move onl\ his arms, hut he was really
intelligent knew all about Oregmi and the team—but his
eyes really got me. lie couldn't move, hut lit- eves were
really shining.”
Oysters in French?
i in* \v;i* also the week that \\i* learned about Jim nailcv si
fondness for oysters at the New Orleans ovster bars—and
also about Hill Dellinger's lack of fondness for ovsters. “Most j
of the menus in New Orleans are in French,” Jim told us.
‘‘so I could read them to Hill, but neither of us knew what
they meant.”
The reason Bailey didn’t enjoy the race was not because
of the oysters. “I just felt rotten. We were in better shape
two weeks before we ran, but there was rain here and
' floods in Grants Pass (where the pair stayed with Bill’s
relatives before leaving for the Sugar Bowl) and we just
couldn’t work out like we should have.”
Both Hailey's first place and Dellinger’s third place tro
phies li>t are engraved as the Sugar Bowl UiOO meter run.
'I he distance was shortened from its usual mile length to
help Olympic year emphasis, but is was supposed to be 1500
meters, the distance Hailey actually ran in record 5:52.1 time.
“Wish it had been 1600 meters,” said Jim, “then the time
would be where it should be.” Sounds like the officials had
heard of the "Hailey Onalap," a phrase the Australian offi
cial- coined for Jim’s slowdown jog immediatelv following
a race. Some newsman spotted him one dav and said, "well,
Bailee’s on a lap again." 'Thus the “onalap."
And Scores of Other Games ...
This was the week we remembered to add up tlie final
prediction statistics of the Emerald prediction crew. Lan
guishing in a first place-tie after he thought he was in alone,
"Swami" Wilson glares at the triumphant Editor Rice, who
shares his .658 average on 67 out of 105 games right.
The broken upstart assistant "Base” Johnson mutters at
his ,629 third place percentage and the emeritus pickers,
"Redoubtable" Robinson and "Fearless Folly" Clatissen sit
alone with their last place .610 marks. The unnamed sports
editor? He’s rejoicing over his unexpected fourth place .619,
hut still wondering who got the money they threw at Light
net*.
Bears Visit Webfoots
To Open UO Loop Play
By Chuck Mitchelmore
Emerald Sport! Editor
Coach Pete Newell's California
Bears bring Pacific Coast con
ference basketball to Eugene for
the first time in 33 years this
weekend, as the We Moots of
Coach Bill Botcher play host to
Cal for the opening Oregon ser
ies in PCC action.
Frankie Albert
Promises Color
As 49er Coach
SAN FRANCISCO Frankie
Albert, who dazzled the college
football world as its first modern
T-formation quarterback, Thurs
day was named coach of the San
Francisco 49ers, with whom he
starred for seven years.
"I intend to put a colorful,
representative team on the field,”
the 35-year-old, who never has
been a head coach before, told a
news conference.
‘Anything ( an llup(>en’ Offense
If he means the kind of color
he flashed when he called the
signals for the National Foot
ball league entry, then look out
for anything from an offense
which this year sputtered
through a dismal season.
For when Frankie ran the
show as quarterback he might
kick when he should have run.
pass when he should have kicked,
and run when all the laws of
football dynamics called for a
punt.
Co-owner Vic Mrrrabito an
nounced the appointment of Al
bert to succeed Norman < Red i
Strader, who lasted fast as 49er
coach.
Albert Assistant Previously
Strader was fired Dec. 19 after
just one year. Albert was one of
his four assistants. The duration
of Albert's contract and its terms
were undisclosed.
Co-owner Tony Morabito was
asked at the news conference
how it came about that he had
selected one untried as a coach
to lead the 49ers in the toughest
of all football leagues.
Tony said, well, he had con-;
sidered a number of others. No
he wouldn’t name them, of
course. And what do you mean
by untried ?
-Liked What We Saw’
"After all,” he said somewhat
petulantly, “we in this organi
zation have had a chance to ob
serve Frankie for 11 years now.
on and off the field. We liked
what we saw."
Tony called Frankie an “in
spirational leader" and predicted '
the players—a dozen of whom
were teammates of his in his
playing days—would be glad to
have him as a leader.
LIU Sends Best Wishes
As Dons Attempt 39th
BROOKLYN I.PI—Long Island
university, co-holder with Seton
Hall of college basketball’s win
ning record of 39 straight, Thurs
day sent its best wishes to the
University of San Francisco team
which will try to match this win
ning streak when it meets Fresno
state Friday.
A telegram from Len Kartin
of the LIU public relations office
to Phil Woolpert, USF coach,
said: "Look forward to welcom
ing you into the thirty-nine
straight club. Good luck to your
fine team."
The Bears opened their corifer
ence Hlate last weekend, a'ong
with the seven other PCC clubs,
marking the first, coast-wide
schedule since the loop was di
vided into the Northern and
Southern Division in 1923.
Bears Divided Openers
Cal split, a pair with Southern
Cal in its openers at Berkeley,
winning a 52-51 thriller and
dropping the controversial Sat
urday iinale, 77-64, in the penny
tossing forfeit. Oregon drew a
bye from PCC action.
Newell's 1956 crew, minus one
of the Bears' all-time star stand
outs with Bob McKeen’s gradu
ation, have shown surprising
form in what should be a drought
season. •
The Cal club shot a highly re
spectable ,360 from the field last
weekend, but the USC marks
men racked up an amazing .490.
The Bears' overall field goal av
erage is a nice .379, against .388
for opponents. From the free
throw line they have also been
edged by their competition, .653
to .018. Average points per game
favors Cal, however, 65.5 to 59.
Friend Leads Cal
Larry Friend, a junior for
ward with a deadly outside shot,
paces the team individually with
an average of 13.3 points per
game and a .491 average from
the field. Duane Asplund, the
6’7” Bear center trails Friend
with an 11.9 average, but leads
rebounds with 75 to Friend’s 73.
Newell probably will go with
the same starting lineup that
faced the Trojans, and Borcher
will counter with the five that
met Washington last Tuesday.
For the Duck defensive assign
ments, this means Ray Bell
<6’5"> on Cal captain Bob Blake
16'2”) and Bill Moore 16’4”) on
Friend (6'4”) at forwards; Phil
McHugh (6T”) against Gabe
Arrillaga <6'1”) or Mike Diaz
(5T1") and Jerry Ross (6T”)
on Earl Robinson (6T") at
guards, plus Max Anderson f6’
7”) on Asplund (6’7”) at center.
Overtime Action Tops
Tight Intramural Play
Thursday intramural basket-!
ball action was highlighted by the
first overtime play of the season,
as the Legal Eagles slipped by
Campbell club, 28-25 in an extra
period. Both other games were
tightly played, as Hale Kane
trippeu Philadelphia house. 22-13,
after a close battle and Stafford
hall nudged Sheldon, 20-15, in a
speed game.
Eagles Edge Club
The Legal Eagles nosed out
the Cambell clubbers in an over
time game. John Chaney spotted
11 points for the winners while
Chuck Klingforth. high scorer for
the game, led Campbell with
seven buckets and a free throw
for 15 points.
It was a real hair raising game
with Campbell club drawing first
blood and leading until late in the
fourth quarter. Then the Eagles
tight press caused the losers to
throw some sloppy passes which
looked like the turning point of
the game. At the final horn of
the game it was 25-25. During
the three minute overtime Cha
ney came through with three
points to wrap it up.

Hale Kane snared a hard fought
game away from Philadelphia
house with Frank Maier pacing
the way for the winners with
eight points, while Jim Hansen
come through with seven count
ers for the losers.
Hale Kane used its height well
on the backboards and also had
a very well organized fast break.
The Phils were the smaller team,
but had a lot of spark. Both
teams had smooth working plays.
The game was nip and tuck un
til the last few minutes of the
fourth quarter, when the Phils
seemed to tire.

Stafford Speeds
Stafford edged Sheldon 20-15 in
a real battle. Sheldon, with the
bigger team had lots of back
board strength the first quarter,
but Stafford used its speed to
run circles around them from
then on.
Ron Leverett showed some
great defensive work as well as
pacing the winners in the scor
ing line with eight points. Pete
Welch with nine points and Dun
can Ferguson with six did all the
scoring for the Sheldon.
