See ltl A ECGEXE W$j' SPRINGFIELD MW.lOth WlT 9th & MAIN Ph. 5-S311 PH. 7-2477 j Indians Among Leaders in Nation NEW YORK, Sept. 28 Nevada. total offense champion of the 1946 college football season, got a run ning start in defense of the title this year by amassing 524 yards in its opening game enough to top the first week's official rank ings by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau. Having lost Stan Heath, the na tion's No. 1 passer last year, Coach Joe Sheeketski apparently geared his running attack to replace the overhead as Nevada's primary threat this fall. The Wolfpack, which finished 17th In rushing and first in passing last year, rates first in rushing and 58th in passing In the initial 1949 tabu- lations. I Astride the current passing rankings are the Navy Midship men, even though they lost their i opening game to Southern Cali jfornia. Largely due to the efforts !of Sophomore Quarterback Bob Zastrow, the Middies gained 274 yards through the air in their opener. North Carolina Best Punters Another 1948 leader that re fuses to be unseated is North Car olina, the best punting team in the U. S., according to the averages. The Tar Heels, specifically Charlie Justice and his sidekick Skeet Hesmer, have kicked seven times for a 49-yard average. Surprise contender for the country's total offense honors is Iowa State. The Cyclones have gone through an easy warm-up with Dubuque and an upstart tie with Illinois for a 519-yard-per- game offense average, second only to Nevada. Five other teams have estab lished themselves as outstanding yardage-getting units by averag ing better than 450 rushing-pass- mg yards through two games each. They are Texas (498.5), Georgia (473.0), Stanford (471.5), Drake (461.5) and Denver (458.5). In the all-important scoring column, Wyoming has a slight edge on the Texas Longhorns, with Stanford and Kentucky not far behind. The ten highest-scor ing major teams to date are: Wyoming, 99 points; Texas, 97; 1 Stanford, 93: Kentucky, 90; Iowa State, 84; Drake 82; Mississippi, 80; Texas Western, 80; Hutgers, 79; and Idaho, 79, Changed in name but not in style of play is Texas Western, currently third in rushing. Last year the same school, then called Texas Mines, set a new all-time collegiate mark in winning the rushing title, The Miners' present 396-yard average is higher than that of all other teams that have played two games. Nevada at 424 yards and Arizona at 404 have en countered but one opponent each (through games of last Saturday. Noticeably absent from the list of leading power teams is Army. The Cadets have been among the top ten rushing teams in the land for the past six years. This week, off their efforts against Davidson, they rate only 29th In this depart ment. The collegians are showing plenty of early foot, with ten teams averaging over 45 yards per punt, and 27 teams over the 40-! yard fark, Wisconsin (47.2), Army (47.0), Furman (46.4), Alabama (46.4, and Stanford (46.2) follow the Tar Heels as the top kicking outfits, Pushing Navy for leadership In air attack are Missouri, Texas, Christian, George Washington and Texas. Down for Cal CORVALLIS. Sept. 28 Oregon State's gridiron Beavers buckled down Wednesday to pre pare for what admittedly is a tough game this weekend at Port land against the University of California. Hal Moe's scouting reports from watching the Bears dump both Santa Clara and St. Mary's have left plenty to worry about in the minds of the Beavers. He said the defending conference co champions ale faster than last year and play a more deceptive game. Labeled by Moe for attention were Charley Erb and Bob Celeri in passing and Pete Schabarum at Fullback in the running attack. Left Halt Charlie Sarver was marked downs as the best Cali fornia pass receiver, in Moe's opinion. A sellout crosvd of around 30 thousand fans were expected to jam Multnomah Civic Stadium for the contest. It will be the first time California has played in Portland since 1941. Far West Loop Wants To Jump; Eye Oregon REDDING, Cal., Sept. 28 (U.R) Directors of the Far West League are trying to get together an eight-club circuit for the 1950 season, League President Jerry Donovan announced Wednesday. The league now has six clubs but would like to get two more to replace Vallejo and Santa Rosa, which dropped out during the 1949 Season. A request from Hayward, Cal., to join the league was tabled at the director's meeting Monday. Before accepting a Hayward club, the directors must get the ap proval of the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League because Hayward is within Oakland's ter ritory limit of 10 miles. In addi tion, other PCL clubs must ap prove. Art Hadler, Sacramento busi nessman who formerly owned the Pittsburg and Santa Rosa fran chises, said he was interested in "two or three" Oregon cities, but declined to name them. Goach-of -the-W eek By Karl Wrijht United Press Sp.rU Writer NEW YORK. Sept. 28 (U.R) The athletic council took a look at him and decided in five min utes he was the man to carry on their rebuilding program. He was impressive enough. Six foot, one inches tall, 230-pounds. His record impressive also. And he seems to be ready to make it even more so this season. He's the United Press coach of the week, Jim Leonard of Villa- nova's up and coming Wildcats, a retired asparagus farmer who came through last Saturday with a resounding 27 to 6 victory over Penn State, supposedly one of the top teams in the east. Instead it was Villanova which emerged from the game as a team to be reckoned with not only in the east but probably anywhere in the nation. And anywhere in the nation is the way Villanova plays ball. Already victor over U-Bowl Bowling Bob Wiltshire hit 1 torrid 247 and 606 to pace his Moorhouse-Rlchfleld team to a 3-1 victory over Snellstrom's in Super League bowling Tuesday night at the U-Bowl alleys. Bob Fuller hit 221 and 601 for the loser. Frank McCants' 226 and 652 paced Giustlna to a 3-1 win over Cafe Del Bey. Glen Dotson's 224 and 540 paced the Orphans but they lost a 3-1 decision to Penny-Wlse Drugs. L. Slecel hit 197 and 570 ai Bob Kanne'g bea.t VFW. 4-0. Texas A & M in addition to Penn State, the wily Wildcats also play Detroit, St. Mary's of California, i Tulsa, Okla., University, Boston i College, Georgetown of Washing- I ton, D. C, and Duquesne of Puis- burgh. i When Tex Oliver resigned after last season, 57 coaches applied by letter for the job. Leonard came in person. The sturdy guy with the Irish twinkle in his eye and a streak of gray in his black hair, also came well recommended. Folks like George Halas of the Chicago Bears and Bert Bell, com missioner of the National Football League, said "take this guy and he'll build you a winner." Leonard, who thinks the team will get better, uses a regular T formation but varies it for con fusion with the winged T and oc casionally the Missouri - brand split-T. Key man on the team is Ralph Pasqueriello, considered by Leon ard as "a sure all-America the best I've seen at fullback since Bronco NiiRtirskl Leonard's only hobby is a mighty profitable one. He likes to farm nnd during 1947 and '48 his operations became so extensive at Mullica Hills, N. J., he had to leave his coaching work and take over supervision of 35 hired hands. -IllJNTEllS BLUE RIVER DEER DERBY REGISTER ANY BUSINESS IN BLUE RIVER Registration Closes Oct. 1st 5 A.M. 1st Prize - I.nrgcst Ruck By Weight 2nd Prize Largest Spread ATTENTION HUNTERS NEW & USED PICKUPS Vi Ton 'A Ton and 1 Ton Capacities IMMEDIATE DELIVERY K.
