i. - i Salem, Oregon, Thursday, January 17, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section 4 -ag l Brenner Due Today to Sign as New Senator Manager The Sporinteterli By A. C. JONES, Capital Journal Sports Editor ' I It" E 'il Bulk. ill til jtftvl Veteran Pilot Plans To Play for Solons Ilfi Salem Senator Manager Signed BENN VALDEZ . he's pineapple king It Pays to Know Right People Ted Ogdahl was talking to Jerry Frei and Bowden Wyatt back at the NCAA coaches' convention in St. Louis last week. Frei. Ogdahl's former assistant at Willamette university and now assistant at University of Oregon, asked UgdaM if he had a ticket to the Coach of the Year banquet (only about 50 can get in). Nope, was Ogdahl's plaintive reply. So Wyatt. coach of the success ful single-wing Tennessee Volun teers and former Wyoming men s tor, offered Ogdahl his ticket, say : ing he thought he could get in : without one. He could, all right, because it turned out that Wyatt was the American Coaches' Assn. selection as Coach of the Year the banquet guest of honor. , Osdnhl figures the convention wns real worthwhile because of the football clinics he at- tended day and nieht and the conversations with other coaches. There were funny guys there, too, like Ogdahl with a sharp wit and smiling exterior. Ogdahl , says tliat rumors were flying constantly about coaches applying for Jobs somewhere. In lact, when the news came that Anthony Eden, Britain's prime minis ter, had resigned there were four coaches who applied for the job A Texas sports editor, Morris Frank, spoke at the banquet and offered the observation that he was the only Texan who didn't own en oil well and that Wyatt's team must not have been so good since the Southwest conference sent its No. 3 team (Baylor) to beat Ten nessee 13-7 in the Sugar Bowl . . . Other tidbits include the generous estimate that the Air Force Academy football team, coached by Buck Shaw, former pro coach, has 17 ways to go off tackle . . . And that Oklahoma's undefeated Eooners use only seven plays by scrimmage to chalk up all those victories under Coach Bud Wilkinson ... UCLA coaches are hot for pulling out of the aclfle Coast con ference, Ogdahl determined by listening to the guys talking. The sooner Jhe better, they say, so they can start playing name teams all over the country and get those gate receipts , . . "I don't believe one coach there owns a hat." Ogdahl concluded. Despite the biting cold of the big midwestern city, no coach would think of covering his gnarled head. Gotta be tough. Odds and Ends and Strays Willamette has booked the California Aggies, Davis, Calif., on the 1957 football schedule to replace the expired contract with Fresno State. The first game this year was to have been against University of Nevada, but that has been set back to 1958, when a two-year con tract will go into effect . . . There aren't supposed to be any tie basketball games, but look at what happened in the junior varsity preliminary Tuesday night between Sherwood and Philomath. A re-check of the official score book after the game discovered that it really was a 43-43 deadlock . . . Benn Valdez, former Capital Journal bowling editor, really fell Into something and came out smelling like a pineapple. The Dole Pineapple people, who bought the Paulus Brothers cannery here, have promoted Benn to be eastern sales representative for the big company. He will attend schools first in Los Angeles and Denver In February, then go to Chicago for more, then east to his "beat" all up and down the coast from New York to Miami ... In Salem he was assistant traffic manager for Paulus Brothers . . Cares of the World on Pete Judging by his picture, Pete Elliott has aged considerably in the last six years. But, of course, the new California head football coach has had a lot of responsibility to carry since we heard him speak at a banquet in Idaho in 1950. Odd that we should remember any thing anybody said that long ago but the soft-spoken young man was worried in this talk about the effect of television on college football. Since that was before the NCAA put restrictions on how many games would be televised, Elliott visualized games played before only groundskcepers, referees, sportswriters and a few proud rela tives and girl friends, while the crowds watched from their living rooms and dens with feet propped up on soft footstools . . . An assistant at the time at Oregon State college, Elliott was a substitute speaker for Kip Taylor, then OSC head coach, and came highly recommended as an up-and-coming young man in the field, although "no ball of fire" as a speaker. He was to be picked by Oklahoma before the year was out, then to Nebraska as head coach and now back in the Coast conference at the "tender" age of 30, six years younger than OSC's Tommy, Prothro . . . More Stuff and Things The thing of athletes' parents moving out of town drew some special comment at Bend this week from Bob Barber, sports writer. He quotes the musings of Glen Kinney, Bend basketball coach, who pointed out that the three tall stars of Madras, Lebanon and Sisters all used to live in Bend, their parents moving away when their sons were most useful to Bend's athletic endeavors . . . Seattle Releases Him; to Start Duties Soon Salem Senator officials quit hold ing their breath today, because they have the experienced general manager-field manager who can start getting the 1957 baseball club organized. He is Bill Brenner, 35-year-old veteran pitcher - catcher - manager wasn t even an applicant until con tacted by the 15-man operating committee which runs the club for the 58-man partnership. The committee interviewed Bren- Surroz Earns 1st Half Title Easy victors over the First National Bank Tuesday night at Leslie Junior High, the Surroz Ramblers captured the first half line iii me Bditriu ,uy DdMtei- D.1H League. Surroz walked off with a 76-37 triumph as Jerry McCallister scored 18 points, Bob Hazel, 17 ana lorn uooaing, is. Despite the loss, First Nation al finished the first round in a tie for second place with Orcutt's Market, which dropped a 45-34 decision to Simpson Logging. Wolgamott's, which barely edged Meier and Frank, 36-35, and Simpson Logging, tied for fourth place with records of two wins and three losses. Second hall of play gets under way tonight with Surroz meet ing Simpson Logging, Meier and Frank against First National, and Orcutt's facing Wolgamott's.

Bill, Jr., 54, and Douglas, 7 months. Terms Not Revealed Terms were not announced, but his salary is believed to be in the neighborhood of $7500, plus a per centage on receipts from adver tising. He will have the right to hire a manager for his office to handle the business while Bren ner is piloting the team. As a knuckleball pitcher who was a perennial 20-game winner in the old Western International, Brenner plans to play for the Senators. He broke into pro ball as a catcher in 1939 for Belling- ham of the WIL and caught for Los Angeles in 1945-46. Going to Vancouver in 1946, he managed the Capilanos for four seasons and won two pennants. At Yakima in 1951 he was mana ger and at Lewiston in 1952 and 1953 he pitched, totaling 32 vic tories in the two seasons. At Vancouver in 1954 he had a 21-9 record and led his team to an other pennant. Released by Seattle Seatlle, which gave him his re lease yesterday so he could take theialem position, had his serv ices in 1955 as pitcher-coach and last year he finished the season as interim manager when Luke Sew- ell was canned. Brenner was to sign his contract this afternoon before the operating committee. Facing him now is the jod of rounding up talent for spring training camp in uiiuornia. (ieor ge Paulus. committee chairman, said that it will be up to Brenner to pick the training site.

Friday Deadline To Join JC Ski School Classes Friday is the last day for regis tration of ski school applicants who want bus transportation to the Hoodoo Bowl school, Douglas Sheldon, chairman of the Salem Jaycee Ski school, announced Thursday. Some 50 students have signed for the school, which will start Sunday, and about at least that many more are expected to be on hand when the class starts at 11 a.m., Sheldon said. The two- hour classes will be held each Sunday for four weeks. Those wishing bus transporta tion from Salem may register at most Salem sporting good stores, he pointed rut. The bus will leave from in front of the Capi tol at 6:30 a.m. It will leave the ski area at 4 p.m. for the return trip. Fee for the school and transportation is $17.50. For the school alone, it's $6. Persons under 18 must have a parent's signature on their re gistration card, he said. Registra tion will be accepted until class time at the ski area. Yawama Loop Features Pair Of Contenders There may be only one unde feated team left in the yet-young Yawama league race after Friday when Sheridan and Willamina clash in the loop's featured game. Three other games are also nn tap on the league's fourth date oi tne season. Salem Academy gets a chance to move up in the standings with a game at Banks. League-leading Sherwood goes to Amity and Dayton is at Philo math. The Sheridan-Willamina battle has all the makings of a real thriller. Sheridan is undefeated in two starts but Willamina is still a top favorite for the lenruo title despite a beating by Sher wood, willamina will also have a home floor advantage and a win over Sheridan could put Sherwood in the driver's scat for awhile. Salem Academy (1-1) could move up a notch or two with a win over Banks (0 2). Dayton will be a heavy favorite over Philomath and Sherwood should down Amity.

The result was the same but most felt better about it follow ing the remarks of three who had been on the scene during the 35- 19 Iowa victory over Oregon State. John Eggers, athletic publicity director for the Beavers, narra ted the excellent movies and commented on the game as did George Pasoro, sports editor of the Portland Oregon Journal, and Al Lightner, Statesman sports editor. Eggers said that members of the OSC coaching staff felt, after reviewing the movies, that the Beavers had improved more than Iowa between the early season meeting of the two teams and the Bowl game. "Happy" at Corvallis 'Offensively, wo were much better," he said. "We really moved the ball which we weren't able to do against them earlier. If anything, we fell down on defense." The panning by the Los Ange les press was not justified, cording to Eggers. Iowa was con sidered the top fundamental team in the Midwest, he said, and demonstrated it in the Rose Bowl. As an OSC sidelight of consid erable interest, Eggers revealed that Coach Tom Prothro had em phatically denied there was any basis for talk that he might take up coaching elsewhere next sea son. Eggers quoted Prothro as say ing upon his recent return to the campus, that he had nut talked to anyone about anotner ion, nad turned down all interviews and was very happy at Corvallis. Prothro has been visiting his par ents in the South. Asked about Paul Lowe, the sophomoro tailback who was dropped from school on scholas tic grounds, Eggers said Lowe had returned to the campus to pick up his personal belongings and said he would be back altera stint in junior college. Need Tailback Depth "If he gets back, it will be en tirely on his own," he said. "But I certainly hope he makes it. He is a terrific runner. Joe Francis is great but we need that depth at tailback." Pascro quipped that, even if the LA press was not happy with their New Year's visitors this year, the merchants certainly should have been. About 10,000 Oregonians and 7,000 lowans in vaded Pasadena for the classic. The Portland writer, who had attended a number of Rose Bowl games in recent years, said he stuck with the team at Santa Monica this lime rather than the Pasadena press room fanfare and was very impressed with Proth ro s preparation for the game. "They lived football and they looked ready. Perhaps they were too keyed up that day but they went out to give their best," he stated. Need Facilities Pasero also discussed the need for more athletic facilities in Portland in addition to the Exposition-Recreation center. He said the youngsters summer baseball program was going extremely well but much was needed for wintertime activity. Lightner told of the excellent facilities for the press at the game and stressed the excitement of the occasion and what a good show it was for everyone across the nation. He said the Los Angeles sports- writers overlooked this important sine of the game and have lost the real meaning' of the Rose isowi. In another talk, the humorous side of the scramble for coaching jobs at the recent NCAA meet ing in St. Louis was revealed bv Ted Ogdahl, Willamette football coach who recently returned from the big meeting. The club president, Claude Post, and program chairman Jerry Long, presided at the well- ttended meeting. Title Table TIDES FOR TAW, OBEOON (Compiled by US Coast A Geodetic survey.

The WVL is the last league in the state to start its fnr-keeps play, the teams choosing to get in plenty of practice before going against member teams. Central and Dallas have played nearly half their schedules to get ready for their rivalry clash Friday. Two other games next Tuesday will let the loop's other four teams get started in league play. That night Sandy goes to Canby ana Molalla is at Estacada. Dallas Favored Dallas will be highly favored in Friday's opener , against the Panthers from Monmouth-Independence. The Dragons have 4-5 record in prc-league games but have played an extremely tough schedule. Their victims in clude North Salem and Corvallis Last year Coach Gordon Kunkc's Dallas club was in the thick of the fight for the WVL title and ended up only one game behind league-leading Molalla. The Dragons boast an all-lebtcr- man lineup led by Forward Jim Claus and Center Gary Henry, with Dave Marsters, Tom Parsons and Jack Bemicr completing the lineup. Central may not Improve too much on last year's Sth-place showing in the WVL. The Pan thers have beaten only Willa mina of the Yawama league in 10 starts. Coach Ray Coleman usually has a lineup composed of Jim Travis, Vern Lovelace, Roy Pet erson, Darrell Brandt and Dewey Cummins. Defending titlist Molalla ap pears to be the biggest threat again for the WVL crown. The Indians have a 7-4 record in non- counting play. Other team records up to Friday include Canby, 2-8; .Sandy, 2-8; Estacada, 2 5. Cascade (31) to stay on the slip pery trail to the title. The conferences second-divi sion clubs will probably find the road a little rocky Friday. Ger- vais goes to Silverton and will probably come home with another defeat. Serra (2-2) gets a chance to lift its head above .500 with game at North Marion (1-3). Stayton (3-1) should have little trouble with visiting Mt. Angel (0-4). If Woodburn beats Stayton the Bulldogs will have one less con tender close on their heels. But a Cascade win would throw the CC into a three-way tie for the lead, providing Stayton drops ML Angel. Right now the race is begin ning to shape up like the 1956 battle when Stayton beat Cascade in the final game of the season to win the title by one. Cascade, Woodburn and Serra all tied for second place. Vikings to Host Huskie Wrestle Squad Tonight Coach Herb Johnsrud figures tonight's wrestling match here against Sweet Home will be North Salem's toughest of the season to date. Sweet Home is believed to be better even than Albany this sea son and possibly a match for the undefeated Vikings. The exhibi tions are to start at 7 o'clock at Vik Villa. Johnsrud indicated his varsity wrestlers will be as follows: 97 Al Stuetzle. 105 Tom Haines. 114 Duane Kent. 122 Ken Bostrack. 129 Jim Johnston. 135 Kevin Morse. 140 Jim Hadden. 147 Jim Huckstep. 158 Forrest Darling. 167 Darrel Reinwald. 177 Len Hays.
