RAY WESTFALL
still great punter.
'Missouri's athletic scholarship program, after which many
chools have patterned theirs, is a corker. There are four -kinds,
the No. 4 being the plush job for -the most-wanted lads.
It includes tuition, books and fees, plus a $65 check each month
to apply on room and board. All alumni donations must bo
tunneled through the university committee which approves the
grant. The committee goes over the boy's high school trans
cript to see if he will sink or swim In college studies. Our
question: How does an alumnus know if his donation will go
lor a football player or a cornet player? Answer He doesn't.
In comparison the Northwest conference, of which Willamette
b a member, allows only 80 per cent of tuition to be paid to an
athlete, plus $75 a month job with the university. Willamette's
policy is not to give campus jobs, but to help get off-season, part
time work for the brawny youth ...
J: STRAY BITS FROM THE t'PPER BALCONY
s Ray Westfall's punting average didn't suffer despite the mud.
The OSC back, whose 42.2 average is fourth in the nation, got
off three for 48. 45 and 39 yards. His longest were 63 against
Stanford, 61 against College of Pacific and 61 against Washington.
. . . Art Litchman, Oregon's energetic athletic publicity director,
Sato he "narrowly escaped" being an alumnus of U. of Missouri in
stead of Oregon about IS years ago. With his high school trans
eropt in hand he started to hitchhike from Long Beach, Calif., to
Missouri, only to be picked up by an Oregon grad. a California
publisher, who had talked him into the Eugene institution before
they had gone 100 miles ...
The halftime "dinner" served at Hayward pressbox really
iwas something U behold and hold: Roast turkey carved on
the spot, pisza, sandwiches, cold ruts, cupcakes decorated with
an "0" on top, fruit, coffee, milk and' coke. Big job for'
the doorman was to keep us chiselers out . . . Corvallis
high school set a hospitable
chocolate and donuts to South
down there ...
Litchman also related the
tlucks have played only three home games in the rain in the past
10 seasons. And that is true even in a rainy climate . . . Phil Ki
el, Sweet Home's outstanding gridder last year, has been playing
.svith Boise Junior college this season, a team which lost only its
final game, to Pasadena Juco, 45-19, to spoil Boise's bid to get
into the Junior Rose Bowl ...
i Johnny Eggers, OSC athletic publicity chief, reports in the
alumni magazine that basketball coach Slats Gill recommended
Tony Vlastelica to the pros, but the pros said he wasn't big enough.
They apparently want them 6-7 or better these days and Vlastelica
is 6-5 .. . Dick Mason, OSC back, has a four-year college grade
average of 3.27, qualifying him for the All-American scholastic
team ... "
' BASS PROVES TO BE A FROSH HALFBACK PROFUNDO
' Readers may recall the name of Dick Bass, the swift Negro
i halfback from Vallejo, Calif, who was the object of coaches'
affection all over this great nation of ours. He scored 256
points and gained 1964 yards as a prep senior, earning raves
, for his ability to be where the tacklrrs weren't. Bass was quoted
, as saying the UCLA campus was "very pretty," but he settled
i on College of Pacific, where a fabulous deal was cooked np
for him. A former roommate of a friend of Bass' father told
J ns that vnung Dirk preferred a smaller college, and that the
; whole Valleje first team was offered scholarships at COP , . .
Well, Bass has finished his freshman season at the Stockton
educational factory with 10 touchdowns in three games on runs of
59. 48. 34, 85, 57, 52. 29, 30, 52 and 2 yards against San Francisco
State JVs, Fresno State JVs and San Jose frosh. His footwork
.' gained 214 yards on one game in 13 carries an average of 16.4 each
time he cuddled the pigskin in his dusky hands. This info comes
: by way of me brudder Moon who was the Ronnie Knox of his day
' back in Kansas and who now lives quietly in Tracy, Calif., near
,' Stockton ...
