The frowns of East-West
football coaches vanished today

tentative starting lineups for
the 21st annual New Year's

of the East kept their 24 charg
es hustling. Running plays were
checked and re-checked and the
mentors found no serious fault
with timing or speed. Today
passing was stressed in prepara
tion for a dry field.
At Menlo Junior College.
Coaches Babe Hollingbery and
Homer Norton were not enthu
siastic over the one-point mar
gin given the West In pre-gamc
odds. They greed their gridders
appeared to be In excellent con
dition and the speedy backfirld
showed plenty of promise for
the West's running attack
even In mud.
The tentative lineups give
th! East an average weight
advantage of eight pounds per
man an average of 200 pounds
to 138. Both teams can draw
on even bulkier material if the
occasion demands. In the back
ficld, the West shows a slim one
pound margin with an average
of 183 pounds per man to 182.
On the basis of speed the West
looks tops on paper with Jake
Lcicht of Oregon leading the
pack, but the East's Al Dckclc
brun of Cornell and Robert
Evans of Penn will not be far
behind.

LONGVIEW EDGES
TORNADO 43-41
IN HOT BATTLE
Though the outcome was what
most dopesters predicted, the
barnstorming Longvicw high
school hoop contingent had a
terrific battle on its hands before
edging out the Medford high
five, 43-41, on the local court
Friday evening.
On a couple of occasions the
Tornado appeared headed to
ward victory. The locals led the
slow-starting Lumberjacks 15-7
at the close of the initial period
and held a 27-24 margin early in
the third canto.
In the second stanza the visi
tors began to find the net and
Hob Gambold, Jim Rosenwcig
and Don Stewart combined to
bring their total within one
point of Medford's count. Then,
seconds before half-time, Rosen
wcig looped one in to give Long
vicw a 22-21 midway lead.
Tornado Loses Lead
Earl Stellc's bucket put the
Tornado in front, 23-22, shortly
after the third quarter opened.
But Gordon Farrell countered
for the Lumberjacks when the
period was a minute old giving
them a 24-23 difference. A bit
Inter Jerry Ross dropped in two
field shots to gain the Medford
ites 27-24 count.
Gambold next connected and
Farrell sank a free toss on Bost
wick's foul to tic up the contest
as the quarter's five minute mark
rolled around. A half jniiuile
later Gambold tossed in a gift
shot on Stclle's infraction to
provide Longvicw with a 28-27
edge and the victors were ahead
for keeps.
The Lumberjacks, holding the
Tornado scoreless for the rest of
the third frame, pulled away and
Gambold's goal that Initiated
final stanza scoring gave them a
35-27 margin.
Rally Sparked
Carl Reich, playing his first
tilt of the season, and Bob Wat
son, who did all his tallying In
the last canto, were the main
springs of a final period Medford
assault that almost nipped the
visitors. Combining with a
bucket by Glenn Bostwick, they;
narrowed the count to 37-35 with
four minutes left in the fracas.
Bob Gambold, main thorn in
Medford's flesh with 20 points,
accounted for six markers in the
next two minutes while Reich
dropped in a single shot for the
homo club. Watson shoved one
through and netted a foul toss
making the score, 43-40, with
two minutes remaining.
With 20 seconds to go a tech
nical foul was charged against
Longview for sideline coaching.
Jerry Ross canned it for Med
ford. The locals were driving
hard In the final seconds and
Bob Watson looped a long one
that fell short of the hoop nt the
finnl whistle.
The Medford squad was minus
two regulars, Darrell Riggs, cen
ter, and Jim Cave, guard, vic
tims of the flu bug.
The win was the seventh of
the season for the Lumberjacks
whose only loss so far has been
to Bremerton.

had "just about given up hope"
of winning the New Year's Day
Rose Bowl clash here with un

"We have no chance for vic
tory," Cravath told the United

we would have anything re
sembling a chance would be for
a big, driving rain to come up
that might spoil some of the
effectiveness of Harry Gilmer's
passes.
Cravath said that right now
nine of his second stringers
were down with the flu. but all
the members of the first tcaml
who were sick last week had
recovered. ,
"Wo can't win because we
have absolutely no passing at
tack," Cravath moaned, hut in
the next breath added, "keep an
eye on our Ted TannehiH he
mipht toss a few that wi'l
startle you".
Cravath said his scouts had
Informed him that Gilmer pass
es better when rushed than
when he has time which spoil
ed one of his strategic plans.
The Trojan coach came up
with this possible starting line
up barring unforeseen acci
dents: Ends. Harry Adclman
and Don Wilhimsnn: tackles.
Jack Musick nd John Aguirre:
guard. John Rea and either
Ben Lardizabal or Vic Vasicck:
center Joe Bradford: quarter
back. Jerry Bowman: left he'.f.
Ted TannehiH: right half. Bobby
Morris: fullback. Jerry McNutt.
Both teams practiced in the
ose Bowl today, with the Crim
son Tide taking the morning
shift, the Trojans the afternoon.
