Two more play rs were added to the growing injury list as Coach Arch Duns mocr prepares his charges for next week's homecoming game against Portland State on the Mountaineer field. Big Bill McCadden, a doubtful starter against the Knights, re injured his shoulder in the third period and Dave Harmon, 180 pound second-year end, is out witth a knee injury. Added to the loss of Jerry Williams and Den nis Bagnall a week ago against Orogcn Tech, the Mountaineer picture looks pretty grim. Dunrmo-r was pretty disap pointed with the loss to the juni cr college eleven, their first in three meetings in a rivalry that gees back to 1953. Pass defense, problem wittb the Mountaineers all season, was the big factor in the loss last week. Pete Ohlcr completed 11 cf 14 passes against the Mounties and Dunsmoor is planning changes .fDr ,he Portland State game. The vikinos hn.st a fine nassrr. like most of the teams EOC has faced tthis year, in Ward Saylei. Sayles at the end of last week's action ranked second in passing statis tics. "Portland State passes well and now everybody will be throwing against us," Dunsmoor said. Pass defense will again become the big challenge for the- Moun taineers and the loss of Bagnall is hard to say but the Mounties will be working to plug the gap in an otherwise rugged defense. Dunsmoor singled out Ray Por ter for an outstanding game against the' Knights and added that John Willmarth did his us ual fine job for EOC. Willmarth. as in the past, will be used at both guard and fullback against, State.' Gene McKinney, another ailing EOC gridder, will start the game at quarterback if his sprained knee responds to treatment. To make matters worse, the Vikings have two pass receivers in the top seven in league re cords. Bob Grant has six recep tions for 58 yards and Gary Hamblet. five for 77 yards. LIONS SIGN HORTON .

Cash picked up White Sox, SF Hurlers Honored By FRED DOWN United Press International NEW YORK - ( L'Pl 1 Early Wynn and Sam Jones, two "pleas ingly wild" right-handers who seem to improve with age, were named the major league pitchers of the year today by the Vnitcd Press International. Wynn, a 22-game winner fur the Chicago White . Sox. won the American League award with 23 of a possible 24 votes from the committee of experts representing every city in the league. The other vote went to Camilo Pas cual who won 17 games for the Washington Senators. . Receives U Votes Jones, who appeared in 50 games and had a 21-15 record for the San Francisco Giants, re ceived IS votes from the National League Committee. Elroy Face, the amazingly successful relief ace of the Pittsburgh Pirates, got six votes and Johnny Antonelli of the Giants and Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves got one each. It was something of a year of vindication for both award win ners Wynn because he had ex perienced two straight losing sea sons and Jones because he proved he cculd win under the pressure of a pennant race. Wynn, 39, of Hartford, Ala., was the steady hand of the White Sox staff all season. He had a 22-10 record and a 3.13 earned run average. With 271 victories he now is the biggest winner among active major league pitchers and seems to have a good chance to make the 300-club. Vet he started the season as a definite question mark after successive 14-7 and 14-16 seasons that seemed to indi cate he was on the way down. Pascual, a 25-year-old native of Havana. Cuba, suddenly devel oped this year into one of the American League's top pitchers. Face, who had a string of 22 con secutive victories over a two-year period, compiled an 18-1 record.
