Trojans Rate Top in
Coast Gridiron Future
(By the A&iodRted Prui)
Football practice In the Pacific
Coast conference opened amid
the popping of photographers'
flash bulbs and the hopes that
this may be the West Coast's year
In the Rose Bowl.
Strictly on paper, the Univer
sity of Southern California Tro
jans look like the class of the
conference. Jeff Cravath had
82 gridders turn out yesterday
at the opening session. With 25
lettermen among them, Jeff eas
ily fielded a veteran first string
for the cameramen. Of course,
big reason for USC's nomination
for pre-season favorite is that
14-14 tie last year with mighty
Notre Dame.
However, California and Ore
gon, co-titlists in 1948, must be
considered. Lynn (Pappy) Wal
dorf had 87 Huskies turn out but
at last report, he still was look
ing hard for another Jackie Jen
sen. Oregon's Jim Aiken started
off his 54 gridders with an
opening day scrimmage. He
too is doing some fancy look
ingfor another Norm Van
Brocklin. He has ten regulars
hack and also Bill Fell, trans
fer from Compton, Calif., Jun
ior college. The track star
he does the 100 in 9.6 is bill
ed as the west's fastest halfback.
Coach Red Sanders, the ex
Vanderbilt mentor, greeted his
86 UCLA hands with the gloomy
PIGSKIN PAGEANT
news that Les Stelner, three-letter
guard, is quitting the game.
He is staying in school but is
working instead.
Stanford's undefeated 1948
Frosh team plus some topnotch
junior college transfers met
Marchy Schwartz at Palo Alto.
Also there, unannounced, was
Fullback Emery Mitchell, out
last season with a knee injury.
New Coach Laverne (Kip)
Taylor of Oregon State also is
loaded with returning letter
men. Of the 55 who turned
out, 24 were letter winners.
He expects to scrimmage Wed
nesday. Darkhorse of the conference is
the University of Washington.
Howie Odell's Huskies have Full
back Hugh McElhenny this year.
The speedy transfer from Comp
ton J, C. is considered to be the
prize rookie catch of the confer
ence. Coach Phil Sarboe of Washing
ton State predicts his Cougars
will field the best team in years.
He sent 60 candidates through
the "gridders' mile" under a
broiling sun. To get out of the
lard-rendering task, each squad
member must turn in a six min
ute mile under full uniform.
Little is known of Montana
and Idaho although the latter
has 28 returning lettermen. Mon
tana has a new coach Ted
Shipkey formerly of the Los An
geles Dons' coaching staff. Dixie

Portland handed Sacramento
a 6 to 0 licking in Monday
night's only Pacific Coast lea
gue game, dropping the Solons
four games behind leading Hol
lywood and a game behind second-place
Oakland.
Bill Fleming, who relieved
the ailing Roy Helser in the first
inning, pitched the Beavers to
victory. Helser started the game
with a sore shoulder and gave
way after pitching to three bat
ters. Fleming took over and al
lowed only three hits the rest
of the way.
Dick Wenner smacked a
three run homer in the sixth.
Tuesday's card and probable
pitchers:
Hollywood (Gordon Maltzber-

Here Jimmy Cason completes a 24-yard runback of one kick
that set up a touchdown as the 49ers defeated the Baltimore
Colts, 31-17, at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. Colts' end,
win Williams, makes the stop just before 49er tackle John
Woudenberg got there to block him. (Acme Telephoto)

Northwest Grid Provides Laudis
Seattle, Aug. 29 U.B
Through the pigskin wars of
past years, Pacific Northwest
gridirons have had their share
of the curious and comical.
To dig back in the musty
records, the 1909 Washington
Washington State game is the
only one on record which end
ed in a 6-all tie without either
team scoring a touchdown.
In those days, a field goal
counted four points, and a
safety two. Each team scored
a field goal and a safety for
the six points ....
- The fine art of field goal
kicking apparently has gone out
of vogue in the modern era of
touchdown-conscious play. But
in 1924, Montana State used
the weapon to deadly advan
tage. The M8U coach Instructed
Forrest "Frosty" Peters to aim
for a field goal anytime MSU
got inside the 40-yard line ef
Billings Poly. Peters did just
that, and collected 51 points
through 17 drop-kicks . , .
During the 1929 Washington
Oregon game, the story Is told
of a Washington sub who really
responded to frenzied pleas of
his coach.
Oregon's Bobby Robinson in
tercepted a pats on his own
five-yard line and was gallop
ing for a touchdown. The coach,
tearing his hair at the unex
pected turn of events on the
field, erled "who'll stop him?'
The sub Immediately leaped
from the bench and tackled
Robinson. Washington allow
ed the touchdown before a
riot started . . .

Byron Hayncs of Washing
ton proved ho was a real one
man football team in 1935
Against California that year, he
crossed both goal lines with the
ball. A touchdown for Washing
ton, a safety for California.
Oregon Stnte members used
their heads during the 1933
game against Oregon. They
hoisted their six-foot center
onto their shoulders, and he
stopped a point-aftcr-touch-down
kick with his head . . .
Former Washington coach
the late Gil Dobie, was noted
for his speed and consistant use
of the crying towel.
Following the 1924 Penn
Cornell game, an enraged alum
nus stormed up to Dobie, then
Cornell mentor, complaining
ariout tne 20-0 drubbing.
"Mister," said 'Gloomic' Gil,
"you just wait until next year.
We're going to be five times
worse than today."

Blast Foreign
Golf Hopefuls
Rochester, N.Y., Aug. 30 (U.R)
The big guns of American
amateur golf were thundering a
threatening crescendo to foreign
hopes as the field moved into
the second round of the U.S.
amateur golf championship at
Oak Hill Country club today.
Headed by the landslide vie
tories of such homebred aces as
sturdy Skee RiegeV of Tulsa and
Toledo s Frank Stranahan, the
main American choices moved
forward effortlessly in yester
day's opening round as three of
nine challengers from the Brit
ish Isles were blasted to the
sidelines.
A driving rain which caused
an hour s suspension of play
sent the scores rocketing, but
Riegel won 7 and 6 and Strana
han sailed home 7 and 5 to move
up even with defending Cham
pion Willie Turnesa of New
York, who drew a first round
bye.
