The Trojans, first West Coast team to win the national title since UCLA edged Ohio State by Just seven points in 1934, were picked No. 1 by 31 of the 35 coaches who comprise the UPI rating board, while Wisconsin, the team Southern California will meet in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, received only two votes for the top spot Mississippi and Texas each drew one first place vote.

Near Perfect Thus, the Trojans, who com pleted their first perfect season in 30 years by beating Notre Dame, 254), last Saturday, drew a near perfect 345 points out of a possible 350.

Thru Shutouts However, the 1962 season be longed to the Trojans, who ripped off 10 straight victories, including three shutouts and two other games in which the only tally Speedy Madras cage squad steps up to tough AA ranks By Bill Thompson Bulletin Staff Writer MADRAS Can a perennial A-2 basketball power move up to A-l ranks and still be a contender? That's what Madras coach Vem Sampels is wondering as he pre pares his White Buffs for their first taste of A-l league compe tition in the 10-team inter moun tain Conference struggle. Last year, Sampels' first at Ma dras, the Buffs fought there way to the A-2 finals before losing to powerful Pleasant Hill 67-53. This was In spite of heavy graduation losses. And In the previous season, un der Ole Johnson, now a coach at Wilson High in Portland, the Buffs romped to the state A-2 crown. Buffs Move Up But now the Buffs move up to the well-balanced Intermountain Conference with Its demanding 18 game schedule and long trips. There'll be no more setups, and Sampels and his boys realize how tough A-l competition can be. For three of their seven losses last year were to A-l foes. Still, desire carried the squad a long way last year. And the Buffs will be a hustling club this year. "One thing," says Sampels, "there won't bo any setups. We had a chance to get a couple of games with A-2 teams, but it we are going to be A-l we've got to play all A-l squads." Meet Strong Sandy That's why Sampels is happy about scheduling strong Sandy at home December 14 and at Sandy December 21. For Sandy, with a veteran A-l club, should give the Buffs all the competition they want before league play opens in January. Two other prc-season contests are scheduled, Madras meeting Prinevillo in the second game of the Central Oregon cago tourna ment at Prineville Friday. The two teams, along with Bend and Redmond, wind up the tour ney this Saturday at Bend. Madras has only one starter back from last year's good club In 5-10 guard Kanim Smith. But Sampels has one of Uie bettor big men in the league in 6-4 Bob West. West, a reserve all last season, really blossomed in the A-2 tour ney and finished with 14 against Pleasant Hill in the final.

In order, they defeated Duke, Southern Methodist, Iowa, Cali fornia, Illinois, Washington, Stan ford, Navy, UCLA and Notre Dame. In the process they scored 219 points and gave up only 55. Winning the national title was a tribute to Coach John McKay. He took a team which was 2-1-1 in the Big Six and 4-5-1 overall a year ago and developed it into a well-balanced unit that restored Southern California back atop the football heights for the first time since teams coached by Howard Jones were running wild back in the 30s. Georgia Tech and Missouri, who meet in the Bluebonnet Bowl, headed the second 10 grouping. Ohio State, Duke, Washington, Northwestern, Oregon State, Ari zona State, Illinois and Miami (Fla.) completed the top 20. ward. All are seniors. Two other lettermen, junior Mike Clements and senior Ralph Minnick, could strengthen the squad later. Clements, a sensational shot as a sophomore. Is out because of scholastic difficulties. But he could rejoin the squad January 18 if he gets his grades up. The other letterman, Ralph Minnick, is currently sidelined by a football Injury but hopes to join the club by January. A star of the future could well be Larry Barnes, a 5-5 sophomore who Is rated an excellent ball handler with fine moves and a good shot. Speedy Wayne Maw, a 5-8 jun ior track man, Is another who should make the Buffs go this year. Then there's Alvls Smith, a 5-4 junior speedster; Doug Macy, a 6-1 senior; Randy Clowers, a 5-11 senior 200-pounder with two years of jayvce experience; Bob Townsend, a 6-1 junior; John Newton, a 5-8 sophomore; and Jimmy Wyatt, a 5-3 sophomore. Barnes, Newton and Wyatt There's a land rush on for vacant Stanford post STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) Ten days ago, a muddy Stanford foot ball team thundered three hoarse cheers for Coach Jack Curtice just after crushing California, 30 13. "You're a hell of a team," Curtice told the squad, his eyes a bit misty. "And you're a hell of a coach," one player shouted back. Two days later the university more or less said the same tiling, but with a different twist Cur tice was fired. Another blow fell last Friday when three members of his team added their names to a letter in the Stanford Daily backing his ouster. The gist of the published statement was that "Cactus Jack" did not command the respect of Uie full squad. Thus a land rush is on today for Curtico's vacancy with a good 20 or 30 names being tossed up for grabs while the folksy man from Kentucky watches football on his television and wonders whether to stay in town or move on. Ills son is a star quarterback at nearby Woodslde High School, and as Curtice puts it, "I'd hate to move him." As for his firing, Curtice still says, "I gave my level best This is a tough business, that's all." The recent season saw Curtice have his best year at Stanford with a 5-5 record compiled by griddcrs who labor under heavy scholastic demands. They pinned a smashing upset on Michigan State and stunned UCLA, But the word around tho campus is that Jack was on the skids as early as I960. That's the season that Stanford lost all 10 of its games and a segment of the alumni went Into action. Who will get his job? The names range all the way from such sparklers as Frankie Albert to comparative unknowns like Leon McLaughlin. Albert was a great Stanford quarterback who later starred for and coached the San Francisco Forty Niners. McLaughlin was Curtice's line coach and some Informants say that he has the Inside track for tho job.
