In net rushing yardage, the difference was even greater 304 to 63 yards .

Sufde Almost Make All-America Team The "Sport Magazine" 1955-56 All-American basketball team has already been selected, and were it not for a telephone call from Irv Goodman, editor ef the mag, to the athletici depart ment at Oregon State, Swede Halbrook would have been on the .team! Goodman wanted to obtain some last-minute info on Hal brook before putting the article ta press. He was surprised to learn that Halbrook had been booted from school Now wouldn't it have been something had he not made the 'phone call, and the mag would have come out with the expelled Halbrook as a collegiate All-American! ... While on Oregon State basketball for the future Slats Gill came up with the three laddies he wanted most of all when Fall term registrations were made recently. Gill indexes Ted Miller,' of Mil- waukie High, as the best prep prospect in Oregon last season. The six-foot, nine-inch Gary Goble, from little Touttle Lake in Wash ington, was in Slats' opinion the best all-around prep eager in that state, and Don Pine, a six-foot, one-inch star from the southern California area brought with him the honor of having been selected as the Los Angeles prep "player So things for the future should be looking mighty good to to those patriots of the Orange and Black .

Discovered at Wenalthee Here's one for the book: do than figure reasons why his Wenatchee Chiefs finished as also rans in both halves of the recent Northwest League run, Wenatchee Daily World Sports Ed. Dick Pieper decided to measure the dis tance from home plate to the pitching rubber in the city's Recrea tion Park. Lo and behold, he found it not to be the 60-feet, S-inches required by baseball law,. but 61-feet, 6 inches, a foot longer! He even called in surveyors who also found the 12-inch error. "Now we're going ta have to call back all the players in the league and replay the 5 Wenatchee home games," quips Pieper. . Uncle 'Hue Luby will squawk, for his Senators won six and lost only four at Wenatchee. But if they discover a similar error at Eugene, Hugo will be first in line at the replay window ... Duke Snider wound as one af the big heroes for the Brooks in the recent Classic Bnj did yen knew that this center-fielding great had only a few days before made the printed statement that Brooklyn fans didn't deserve a winner because they were so lousy? . . The fans of course gave him the razzberry when they read what he said of them. But they changed the hoots to hollers when he , started smacking those home runs . A futile tumbler only two short weeks ago, Barr, a 20-year-old ju nior scored two touchdowns u the Wolverines ground Army into sub mission for the first time in their six game series which started in 1945., With a sellout crowd of 97.239 roaring its approval. Barr slammed one yard for Michigan' touchdown in the opening quarter, then raced 82 yards with a punt in the second quarter -for the sec ond score. The Wolverines, the nation's No. 2 team in this week's Associated Press poll. , added a third touch down on fullback Ed Shannoon's one foot blast at the start of the fourth period and scored again late in the game on a four yard end sweep by sophomore Jim Pace. Army's point-a-minute machine, i which had rolled up 116 points in 120 minutes this season, was re duced to fumbling ineptness by the Wolverines' tight defense. The sixth-ranked Cadets didn't dent Michigan territory until the third minute of the final period. Purdue Blanked ' LAFAYETTE. Ind. Oft Wiscon sin fullback Charles Thomas, an other Alan Ameche, pounded through the Purdue line for a second-quarter touchdown and Paul Schwaiko kicked an 18-yard cush ion field goal Saturday for a 9-0 Badger victory that wilted 45,000 Purdue homecoming fans. Each team intercepted three passes and they threw 54 between them Pass defenses of both teams were magnificent, but it was Jim Miller's 13-yard toss to end Dave Howard that set up Thomas's big touchdown. The hard charging Badgers almost blocked a punt by Purdue quarterback Lennie Daw son to get the drive started in its long series with the Boilermakers and its third in three starts this year. Purdue went into the game undefeated in its first two games. Cassady Goes Wild COLUMBUS, Ohio UH All America halfback Howard (Hop along) Cassady put on one of his finest shows Saturday as he paced Ohio State to a 27-12 victory over, Illinois. The freckled, red-haired speed ster scored his team's opening touchdown on an 18-yard run in the first period, clinched the victory with a 3-yard scoring jaunt at the start of the fourth, and in between ran the Illinois defenders ragged. The game, Ohio's first in defense of its Western Conference cham pionship, was playd before a crowd of 82,407 sixth largest in Ohio Stadium history and swept the Illini from the undefeated ranks. Gophers Win, 1S-7 EVANSTOX, 111. OH A third string sophomore, 194-pound Dick Borstad, loosed some old-fashioned Minnesota fullbacking Saturday to grind the Gophers to an 18-7 Big Ten victory over winkss North western. Borstad battered across for two touchdowns and took charge of a game in which the fumbling Go phers spotted Northwestern a 7-0 lead but rallied tor a iz-v naiiume lead. Borstad, who began reaching for stardom last week with Minneso ta's first touchdown of the season in a close 7-6 lose to Purdue, slammed at the Wildcats 22 times for 142 yards, an average of 6.5. of the year" last season.

Knox's Father Forbids Play LOS ANGELES U Harvey Knox said Saturday he has for bidden his stepson, ace UCLA tail back Ronnie, from playing against Stanford next week or in any fu ture game until the youth is "phy sically sound." "Ronnie seriously injured his shoulder in the Maryland game two weeks ago and it pained him severely even to pass the ball," Knox told a newsman. "Against my wishes he played this last Friday night in the Oregon State game, even though his shoul der injury was serious." Sanders Comments The often loquacious stepfather said Ronnie had therapy for his shoulder at UCLA Saturday but that the young player would be out of the lineup "an indefinite time." Asked for comment. Coach Red Sanders declared. "We never play any boy who is physically unable to do so. Our team physician, trainer and an orthopedic surgeon at the UCLA medical center all said Ronnie Knox was able to prac tice in scrimmage last week, and, that he could play in the Oregon State game Friday.
