McKay pointed out (hat with the return to action of fullback Junior Coffey, the Huskies have one of the best running teams In the nation. The hard-rushing Coffey is especially effective on trap plays, McKay added. The game at .Seattle could de cide the Western representative In the Rose Bowl in the opinion of most observers including Mc Kay, who recalled that ho said before the season started that Washington was the team to beat for the New Year's Day bid. "They have a lot of good foot ball players and a well-drilled team." he continued. "U doesn't matter thai the game is at Seattle and the field might be wet. It's always wet there so far back as I can recall." First Half Fireworks McKay admitted his Trojans played their best first half of the season against California last Saturday and lie said they were able to pile up a quick lead by "shortening the field" as a result of running the ball back at the Bears. McKay said he was especial ly pleased with the work of sec ond string quarterback Craig Kerlig who completed six out of seven passes and was able to spell Pete Boathard without any letdown. Beathard twisted an anklo in the game but McKay told the Southern California Football Writers lie expected his star quarterback to be ready for the Huskies.

"In spite of the score, movies of the USC game leave me im pressed with California's per formance," he added. "The Bears impressed me more with their running than their pass ing. We all knew Craig Morton was a fine passer." UCLA entertains California Saturday night and Barnes said the Bears were as good a team as his squad and he expected a close contest. But the pleasant UCLA coach said he was disap pointed at his team's inability to run with the ball more and said the running game would be emphasized in practice. The youthful Harland Svare of the Los Angeles Rams devot ed most of his remarks to praising the work of quarter back Roman Gabriel who led the pro club to its second straight victory over (lie San Francisco Forty Niners. "It's always a pleasure to win," he said. "I was more pleased Sunday than the week before because we functioned much smoother. And Gabriel was very good. He threw only two bad passes all afternoon." About t lie only major criti cism Svare voiced was over his club's defense which he said was sluggish at the start. But lie said there were still rough edges to be smoothed out and indicated he hoped for contin ued improvement this weekend when the Rams start a three- week road trip. Gabriel was voted pro player of the week for his Sunday per formance while halfback Willie Brown was named university player and Mike Anone of Cal Poly of Pomona was voted col lege player for leading his team to an upset win over previously undefeated Cal Western.

UTI) -The Stanford Indians were giv en the day off by head coach John Ralston as a reward for their stunning 24-14 win over Notre Dame last Saturday. Ralston said the squad was in good condition tor Saturday's game at Oreson State.

Research tells grid helmets get great pounding CHICAGO (UPI)-A surgeon, seeking to solve football's head injury problem, said today that a player's helmet is subjected to blows of more than 5,000 times the force of gravity in ordinary contact with an oppos ing player. This is about the same num ber of G's absorbed by a base ball belted for an upper deck homo run, he said. Dr. Stephen E. Reid. an as sociate professor of surgery at Northwestern University's Med ical School, told the National Safety Congress that each Sat urday afternoon for the past two seasons he has wired a pair of bruising fullbacks for sound. Northwestern varsity stars Bill .Swingle and Steve Murphy were his "guinea pigs," Reid said, and they alternated in carrying complex electronic gear in their helmets and shoul der pads. Their transmitting sets sent a stream of data to researchers high in Dyche Stadium's press box. "Whenever Swingle or Mur phy, whether carrying the ball, blocking or tackling, smashed into an opponent, a sensitive de vice measured the impact of blows on his helmet," Reid said. Reid said the study, aimed al finding out how efficiently hel mets protect players' heads and how the equipment can be im proved, was skirted in 1961 at the suggestion of the American Medical Association. Others participating in the study arc Dr. Joseph A. Tar kington, a neuro surgeon, and Thomas Healion, Northwestern's atliklic trainer. o Tuesday, October 29, 1963 turvy seasons on record. No less than 10 different learns have occupied the first five places in the ratings by the UPI board of coaches this fall and only Texas has man aged to appear for more than two weeks in the same position. Thanks to the almost unpre cedented wave of upsets the list of major unbeaten-untied teams has shrunk to four with the sea son just past the halfway mark. An NCAA executive said he could not remember a season with more upsets than the cur rent one. All Chose Texas The Longhorns, No. 1 for the third straight week, were named first by all of the 35 famous coaches on the UPI rating board, the only unanimous choice In the 14-year-history of the rankings. Illinois, unbeaten but tied, re placed Wisconsin in second place and Mississippi, also tied but undefeated, dislodged Pitts burgh from third place. The Badgers and Panthers were the latest to fall from the perfect record class. Once - beaten Alabama and Navy forged into fourth and fifth spots ahead of Wisconsin, which fell to sixth. Auburn, the only other unbeaten-untied team in the rat ings had last Saturday off but still made a step up to seventh place, changing places with Ok lahoma, No. 8. Southern California, the de fending national champion which has been climbing back steadily since absorbing two de feats, was placed ninth and Syracuse, No. 10. made its first appearance in the top 10 this season. Six teams Included in the rat ings last week were knocked out. of the standings by losses. They were ninth - ranked North western, and Notre Dame, Mis sissippi State, Oregon, Iowa and Iowa State, all lislcd in the sec ond 10. Ohio Slate returned to 11th, Louisiana Slate and Pitt tied for 12lh, Nebraska was No. 14 and Michigan Stale finished 16th. Baylor. Missouri, Arkansas and North Carolina Slate rated 16-17-18-19 and Duke and Pur due lied for 20th. Four games involving tiie ranking 20, the most in one weekend this season, are sched uled this Saturday. They involve Illinois hosting Purdue. Missis sippi at LSU, Wisconsin al Michigan State and Syracuse at Pittsburgh. Two other top five teams are scheduled for tough road engagements.

SEATTLE (UPI) - The Uni versity of Washington scored its biggest win of the season Saturday and now faces an even bigger test next Saturday. Washington faces Southern California and most people agree that the winner will wind up representing the Coast in the Rose Bowl this year. FURNACE TR0UIIB?

(UPI) "Indispensable? Nonsense. No man is indispensable to this team." The man speaking was Coach Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers. The occasion was shortly after his team had beat the New York Giants 37-0 for the 1961 National Football League championship. This season, after another title was added in 1962, Lom bardi's getting a chance to show what he meant. Starting last spring and con tinuing right through to last week a series of incidents hap pened lhat has robbed the Pack ers of five starters from the championship teams. But Green Bay has kept on winning and the reserves who filled in are directly responsible in many cases for the trend. Aldridge Fills Gap Rookie end Lionel Aldridge has taken over the defensive spot that had been occupied by the traded Bill Quinlan. Ald ridge has been othing short of sensational in his first year as a pro. Veteran Tom Moore stepped in for the suspended Paul Hor nung and until he was injured two weeks ago was one of the NFL's top rushers. When Moore was hurt, another veteran re serve, Elijah Pitts, moved in and picked up 151 yards in a game and a half. When Bart Starr broke a bone in his throwing hand, sev eral Green Bay fans thought their team's chance at a third successive NFL title would be all but forgotten after the Bal timore game. Roach Came Through But John Roach, who had seen very limited action the last three years, came through under pressure and guided the Packers' last win, their sixth in a row this year, to keep Green Bay tied with the Chi cago Bears for the Western Di vision lead. The latest "sub" to take over and perform gallantly in the face of challenge is first year man Marv Fleming, a giant 6-foot-4, 230-pound offensive end from Utah. Fleming, who looks like a king-sized Sonny Liston, stepped in Sunday when regular end Ron Kramer suffered a painful knee injury. But the Colts didn't reckon with Fleming. The 21-year-old rookie caught three passes for 51 yards on a 58-yard touchdown march. The score came on an 11-yard pass from Roach. GRIFFING TO WED VICKSBURG, Miss. (UPI) Glynn Gritting, former Univer sity of Mississippi star who is quarterback Y. A. Tittle's un derstudy with the New York football Giants, will marry Nik ki Roth of Cleveland, Ohio, on Dec. 20. The site of the wed ding will be Oxford. Miss., where the University of Missis sippi is located. Why Not Charter A Plane? Call Us For Rates GIBSON m soma tymri HnmMp Airport fP" GOING SOMEWHERE? I o Stanford's Thurston could become coast s top run back SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -It took a long time for Steve Thurlow to blossom into a star football player but, says Stan ford coach John Ralston, if he continues to improve he may become the outstanding running back on the West Coast this year. Thurlow completed four pass es for 56 yards and picked up 72 running on Saturday in pack ing Stanford to a 24-14 upset win over Notre Dame. He was playing from a halfback posi tion. Last year at this time he was one of the Indian quarter backs. "If he continues to get better each game, as he has all sea son," said Ralston, "he not only will be the best running back in tiie West, but he'll have that pass-run option to go with it." Ralston, however, figures that the Indians will need all the help they can get for their game against Oregon State this week. "Our scouts helped us a lot in the win over Notre Dame," Oakland's Clem Daniels matched Chargers' Lowe, Lincoln in rushing NEW YORK (UPI) - Clem Daniels of the Oakland Raid ers matched the San Diego Chargers' two speedboys, Paul Lowe and Keith Lincoln, stride for stride Sunday and beat them out for the American Football League's rushing leadership. Daniels, quarterback Jack Kemp of the Buffalo Bills and Frank Jackson of the Kansas City Chiefs were this week's three new individual leaders in the league statistics released to day. Kemp took over first place in passing and Jackson in punt returns. Daniels gained 125 yards in 19 carries against San Diego last Sunday to replace Lowe as the AFL rushing leader.

"The movies show that they have a fine quarterback in Gor don Queen; Leroy Whittle is one of the fastest of halfbacks; and Vern Burke can catch pass es any place on the field." Dick Berg, the sophomore starting his first game as sig nal caller against Notre Dame, now is the No. 1 quarterback on the Indian team and will be the starter against the Beavers. California draws another tough assignment this week when it takes on UCLA in the Southland. The Golden Bears, fresh from a 36-6 thumping at the hands of USC, haven't given up hope, however. "We have nearly half the schedule left," coach Marv Levy told the Northern Calif ornia Football Writers Associa tion Monday, "and we expect to bounce back. "It was no disgrace to lose to USC. I believe the Trojans have an even better team this year than they had last season. That Mike Garrett makes the big halfback missed or was used only sparingly in four games because of a leg injury, he now has gained 522 rushing yards for a 5.6 average. Lowe gained 82 yards in 12 carries against the Raiders to boost his season total to 502 and a league-leading average of 6.6. Lincoln had the best day of the three, however, amassing 130 yards in 15 tries to move from sixth place to third with a 459 yard total and a 6.4 average. Kemp replaced Tobin Rote of San Diego as passing leader fol lowing a big game against the Boston Patriots Saturday night. Kemp has completed 120 of 2 10 passes for 1,913 yards and nine touchdowns. Len Dawson of Kansas City moved up to sec OFFICIAL HEADLIGHT INSPECTION O difference in the backfield. And the line is real good and real quick." San Jose State, which was knocked over by Idaho on Sat urday, goes in even deeper this time by taking on powerful Ore gon. "Idaho had one of the hard est running teams we've met all year," said coach Bob Titch enal. "But we made it tough on ourselves by fumbling twice when we had the ball on their one-yard line. "We are going to have to show a lot of improvement if we are to be in the ball game with Oregon." An interesting feature of this battle will be the fact that the starting quarterbacks for the two teams will be brothers. Sophomore Ken Berry will be calling the signals for the Spar tans, and his older brother, Bob, will do the same for the Ducks. Both were coached by their father in high school in San Jose. ond place and Rote dropped . back to a third-place tie with George Blanda of the Houston Oilers.
