Salem Senators Director i George Paulus won't have the final tab
Ihe Salem Senators bosses that the 1954 operation dropped "around
ulations rady for print until the end of the month, but it's figured by
$o,000." Which is absolutely amazing when one realizes just how
many rough obstacles the local
baseball project was up against
since last April. The figure should
read more like $50,0005 . , u The
complete financial statement! will
be read to the stockholders dining
their, early October , meeting, of
course. Also to be heard that night
will be the resignations of Bruce

members of the directorship. This
comes from Williams himself, who

America's No. 1 participation; sport

Most states give recognition, lo a
state tree, a state - flower- and a

goes so far as to list the suggested
fish for each state steelhead for
Oregon, salmon for Washington, sailfish for Florida, muskellunge for
Wisconsin, tarpon for Texas, etc. ; All very ; appropriate, and 4ll

Bearcats Back
To Grid Work
After Victory
The Willamette University Bear
cats went back to work on the
practice field Monday following
their 19-10 upset victory over the
Humboldt State Lumberjacks at
Areata, Cal.,' Saturday night, i
Next on the WU schedule is the
Cal Poly1 Mustangs eleven of San
Luis Obispo, the powerful Califor
nia club which walloped the Meth
odists 54-7 last season, and which
also poured through a nine-game
schedule undefeated.
The game with Cal; Poly will
open the Willamette home season
in McCulloch Stadium next Satur
day afternoon, at 2 p. m.
Coaches Ted Ogdahl and Jerry
Frei reported performances at
Areata. Quarterback Harv Nef-
fendorf.who completed six of 10
passes, mostly in the tirst nau
when WU built up a 13-3 lead;
End Dean Benson, Guard . Andy
George, Tackle Bob Dyer and End
Norm Dversdal were the huskies
given most of the praise by the
two Bearcat mentors.
It .was also disclosed that Wil
lamette used second stringers
most of the final half against
Humboldt in an effort to deter
mine the club's reserve strength.
"We found that we aren't Very
deep at all," Ogdahl told. "In or
der to be a good ball club we ve
got to develop more second-line
backs, guards and tackles.",
Even though their, squad posted
the impressive upset over an all-
veteran Humboldt team, the Bear
cat coaches oan't see how they
can come out in front of Cal Poly
Saturday. The Mustangs have 20
lettermen and eight of the eleven
players who ctarted in the Wil

po last season.

While players were congratula

By JACK HAND f
NEW YORK Ufl Oklahoma's
show of class against California
sent the Sooners soaring into the
No. 1 spot Monday In the first
college football poll of. the-regular
season by the nation's sports wriU
ers and sportscasters. I
Oklahoma stole a march on many
of the other clubs who were among
the leaders in the pre-season poll,
moving out front by thumping Cali
fornia 27-13 while Notre Dame, the
pre-season No. 1 club, was idle.
- The Irish, voted second although
they haven't made their first start
under 26-year-old Terry Brennan,
bump into the No. 4 club, Texas,
this week. s
The first poll was strictly "no
contest" zi far as Oklahoma was
concerned. The Sooners cornered
56 Qf the 87 first place votes. Notre
Dame's 11 was next best Two
teams, Ohio State and West Vir
ginia, received first place ballots
but didn t place among the leading
20 teams.
Maryland and Texas, third and
fourth in the pre-season test, held
their positions. Maryland roiled ov
er Kentucky 20-0 and Texas pre
pared for Notre Dame by blanking
Louisiana State 26-0.
Georgia Tech pushed past idle
Illinois into fifth place by ripping
Tulane 28-0. Michigan State, UCLA
and Mississippi follow in order
with Baylor and Wisconsin tied for
tenth place. t , i
Actually, the scattered early
games ran true to form in most
cases. The result of the first week's
play seemed to be that those who
were in action (drew extra support
while the teams : still waiting for
their first game lost votes, i
Baylor and Texas Christian are
the only new teams to move into
the first 20 ratings. Baylor battered
Houston to earn enough votes for
its 10th place tie with .Wisconsin.
Texas Christian won over Kansas
27-6 to become the 20th team, pend
ing this week's meeting with Okla
homa. Alabama, losing to, Missis
sippi Southern for the second
straight year in its opener, fell out
