Conference football game.
Earl Engebretson, Gene Flippin
and Mel Gillett were Lewis and
Clark's top ball packers. Another
who ran effectively and got two
touchdowns was Ron Stempel, sec
ond string quarterback. j
Moving relentlessly with their
split-T attack behind a big and
experienced line, the Pioneer
backs rolled up 321 yards on the
ground to Linfield s 110. In net

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 .
Interesting ta note the name ef one of the freshman foo
' ball aspirants at Corvallis also. He's John Schwammel, a tackle
from San Ramon, Cal., and Is the sob af one of OSCs grid Im
mortals, Ad "Tar". Schwammel of the 1933 "Iron Man" sqnad

Quite an Error. 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.

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.

In the final period Colorado ran
into a series of frustrating penal
ties that backed the Buffalos up
from their 48, the farthest point of

Jenkins appeared trapped back of
the goal line in trying to run out

one of hisi quick kicks staved off
the immediate threat.
