PCC Grid Season Opens Saturday Pacific Coast Conference foot-1 bail opens its stand Satur day, sure of more than its usual' share of the nation's grid follow ing after a aeries of off-thc-field i actions In a hectic spring and summer of charges, penalties and countercharges. "Counting" games this week end will be limited to two encoun-' ters in the state of Washington, 1 and only one of them is good enough for official recognition to ward loop honors. In it, the Stan ford-Washington State tussle un der the lights in Spokane, the post-penalty Rose Bowl favored Indians get a lightly-regarded test from the Cougars of Jim I Sutherland, cx-University of Washington mess participant and I ex-Ronnie-Harvey Knox support ing player. Washington's Huskies, black balled by the conference great white fathers in the first of the PCC investigations last spring, greet the usual bunch of Idaho Vandals in Seattle for a contest that has no bearing , on the final flag totals other ! than comparative tests of the league’s bad boys. Also watehed will be the inter esting split season performances of the two southern California squads’ seniors, denied' more than five consecutive games by their own faculty representatives on the conference ruling board. Alumni groups of the two schools screamed “secession!” when the fines were assessed, and just how successful the sea son is under the penalty setup could determine how much the background cries are going to be heard. Administration officials of both schools have stood by their PCC membership certifi cates thus far. Outside the two conference games in Washington, PCC busi ness proceeds on a standard open ing day intersectional routine with the Oergon entries out of state, the Beavers at Missouri and the Webfoots at Colorado, and USC traveling to Texas.

Royal Ponders Green and Jones For FB Chores SEATTLE, .Sept. 19Special» "No matter who win* the start I ing job. Washington will have as I good a second-string fullback as there is in the whole country.” Quote, unquote, Darrell Royal, | Washington coach. His topic was. of course, the ! outlook at fullback, where vet erans Credoll Green and Jim Jones are waging as hot a battle : for the starting job as the Seat I tie campus has soon in a long. i tong limn. It'« a battle dripping with class. In one corner, weighing 20b , pounds, is Incredible Green, a stocky senior from Richmond, Calif., who won his colorful nick name by running over the oppo sition in the manner which it im plies. Of his 652 yards gained last fall, some 258 were garnered on a {buddy field against Wash ington State where he didn't dare j cut to the right or left. No other collegian equalled it for a single day performance, even on a dry field. In the other corner, weighing 196 pounds, is Jones, a junior from Tacoma who logged nearly 500 minutes of playing time as first-string right half last fall before being moved to fullback this spring. Jones, faster than his rival, ran a couple of 10.1 hundreds as a freshman track star and hits the line with just a shade less force than his rival. His biggest mo ment to date was a 61-yard touch down gallop with an intercepted UCLA pass last year to set the Huskies in motion in that mem orable 19-17 contest. “You can say this much for the fullback spot," Royal con fesses, "If we were as well-heeled elsewhere, we’d be in the chips."
