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.
