And apparently the Pirates haven t spared them. In the seven games the Pir ates have run up 228 points while maintaining an unbeaten record. Most lopsided count was 64 to 7 over Reedsport. Other triumphs were 44 to 0 over Myrtle Point, 33 to 0 over Cot tage Grove, 31 to 13 over Co qullle, 13 to 0 over Springfield, 13 to 0 over Roseburg. , The horses so far as the back field is concerned are Johnny Johnson,. Denny Baker and Tom Metzer, regulars, and Mike Mclntyre and Ted Fischer, re serves who possess the speed, and Sandy Fraser, ; a veteran, who possesses the savvy at quar terback.' Johnson is a two-year letlerman. In the line there's End Frank Yeiter, Tackle Gene Tankersley and Guard Terry Cox, all two-year lettermen and all on the left side on offense. The probable offensive team to start is all lettermen but one man. Clair Rood, two-year letter-winner, anchors the defen sive line and Yeiter and John son are also on that unit. JOHNSON TOPS ; - Johnson is the lop runner for the split T attack which Marshfield Is using this yitar. According to Kenn - Hss, sporiswriier for the Coos Bay Times, Johmon has deception along with bis speed and fol lows his blockers, well, often "selling up" the opposition for his blockers. Fraser bas been bothered by a neck Injury in recant games and he and Jim Carlile, a non-letlerman sen ior, have been doing quite a bit of changing off. Women's Golf MRS.

U.PJ Coach Lloyd Jordan, whose Harvard football team has won only one game this season, said Monday, "I'm having a terrible time pleas ing anyDody except the opposing team s aiumni. ' TORNADO CHANCE GOOD Despite the high scoring total by the Pirates there's indication that Medford can come tnrougn with a win Friday night f the Tornado crew digs in and plays up to its capabilities. Three of the high scoring victories were against A-2 schools Reeds port, Myrtle Point and Coquille (although Coquille "is" tough this year). Against two A-l foes Marshfield had it tougher as seen in the 13 to 0 verdicts over Springfield and Roseburg. Med ford downed Springfield 24 to 7 and Roseburg 20 to 0. The ball does bounce oddly at times In football in more ways than one, however, and Marshfield in drubbing Eugene licked a crew which had downed Roseburg 10 to 0. i DEFENSIVELY EVEN Defensively Medford and Marshfield gridders are about "even" in seven games. Each has yielded juit 33 points to opponents. Regulars of neither Team had been scored upon on the ground until last weekend. The Pirates yielded to thi Axemen once and Medford lo Eureka, Calif., twice. Only Eureka scored on Medford more than once. Coquille and Eugene each dented the Marshfield end sone twice. UCLA Upset Could Occur ' Los Angeles U.R i- UCLA Coach Henry (Red) Sanders says no one should consider it an up set if his team, the nation's top scoring undefeated squad, is beaten by any one of its next three opponents. Sanders, whose Bruins seized the number one rpot in this week's United Press poll of the nation's teams, said UCLA could bow to Camornia, Oregon or Southern California. The Bruin mentor told the Southern California Football Writers association yesterday he wasn't happy over his team be ing made a 13-point favorite over California in next ; Saturday's game at Berkeley. Larson Liked "California runs about the best T formation offense In foot ball today and Paul Larson prob ably is the number one offensive star in the country, and he isn't bad on defense either," Sanders said. , . , ' - Jess Hill, whose Southern Cal ifornia Trojans squeaked past California 29 to 27, told the writers he has changed his mind about Oregon's George Shaw be ing ethe only All-America pros pect he had seen this year. "Of his performance against us, I'll have to say Larson Is as good or better than Shaw," he said. "We're awfully happy that we don't meet Larson again as a college player. '" ;7 AM ( V.

Ashland will represent the southern di vision in the play-off with the northern sector winner on No- Medford's scoring total for seven games this year is 117. TORNADO EYES REVENGE The decision of the A-2 dis trict committee in naming the Ashland Grlsslies southern division representative in the District 6 playoff is welcomed by Medford's Black Tornado. It means that the Tornado will have its chance for revenge against the Crater high Comet gridders. Crater, playing lis first time against an A-l rival, sent a shock wave of surprise ' through the state by up-ending favored Medford 20 to 14. Tornado players are pretty much determined that it won't happen this season and are ex pected lo be way "up" for the encounter. Crater doesn't have quite the club It had last sea son but the Tornado can ex pect to find the Comets fired up this time, loo. The game will be on November S at Med ford. .

UCLA are taking a needling these days over some of the scores the Bruins are run ning -up over their hapless op ponents, . 72-0 . over Stanford, 61-0 over Oregon State on suc cessive week ends. ' But Vic Kelley, UCLA publi cist, says that Red Sanders never would think of such a thing as humiliating the foe by purpose ly running up big scores. "In fact, my records show that in both the Stanford and the Oregon State games, the sec ond, third and fourth string men played much more than the first stringers," said Kelley. "Furthermore, some of our third stringers have put in more playing . time than the first stringers and possibly may fin ish out the season that way." That prompted me to pose a question to Kelley: "In view of the fact that San ders is attempting to hold the scores down by playing the third and fourth stringers so much of the time, is it possible that the first stringers might not play enough to earn their letters?" Now, I think this is a very sensible question, in view of the fact that the team also has scores of 67-0 over San Diego Navy and 32-7 over Kansas to mention a couple of other lopsided counts. Two games were fairly close, 12-7 over Maryland and 21-20 over Washington. So that makes four games in which the second and third string men played more than the regulars. Kelley scoffed at the idea. But he had to admit that it wasn't entirely out of proportion. Sport, Parade .-...By .. .

New York (U.PJ-Army's cur rent football team is being com pared by some today with those invincible elevens of the Blan-chard-Davis era and this come back by a team which dropped its opening game is due in great part to a walloping end named Don Molleder. Before the season started Army was touted as the class of the East But the stock drop ped almost out of sight when the Cadets lost their opening game to South Carolina, 34-20 The fact is that Holleder miss ed that game. Additional facts are that since then, the Cadets have bounced back to smother Michigan, 26- 7; humiliate Dartmouth, 60-6 manhandle Duke, 28-14, and an nihi'ate Columbia, 67-12: Jordan Olivar, whose unbeaten but once-tied Yale team plays At my two weeks hence, sum med up the Cadet case when he saio: "We are trying to blank Army out of our minds. We are very cognizant of the fact that this is one of the most outstanding teams they ever had. Some of our scouts say that this Army club teamwise is every bit as good as the Blanchard-Davis teams." Hoileder's the Boy Holleder is the man- who made it jell. The six-foot, two-Inch, 195- pounder from Rochester, N. Y is a truly great end in the Army tradition of such as Bob Shuler, Barney Poole and Hank and Dan Foldberg. Red Blaik, the Army coach, isn't one to flatter his athletes, so it is eyeopening when the colonel calls Holleder "one of the best pass receivers I ever coached." There's more to him than that, though. A varsity basketball player at West Point, the 20- year-old who once considered en' rolling at Notre Dame comes by his pass-catching naturally. But he also liked the going rough and thereby is an exceptionally flno defensive end as well as a terrific downfleld blocker. Holleder missed the start of the season when he drew a month's confinement because of piling up too many demerits. Thus he "walked the area" as punishment and couldn't suit up for the opener. And It was with an end-or-tackle option play by which South Carolina lowered the boom on Army. Holleder was only an alter nate end last season but when he took over this year the club really started to go. One major factor Involved is that he is terrific team man who instills his confidence in his teammates, "He's as good as any end I've ever seen in a long, long times. Lou Little of Columbia asserted ruefully after his Lions were thoroughly skinned by Army. "I won't say that this is the best Army team I ve ever seen, Little added. "I think it could bo Improved a bit by Doc Blan- chard and Glenn Davis. But it is a tremendous team and they showed it against Michigan which proved how good it was against Minnesota and by the way Army ran over Duke." To compare -this Army team with those of the Blanchard- Davis era, In which the Cadets won 27 games against one tie, in itself is quite a compliment to a ball club which dropped its opening game. But it's even more of a compliment to Holleder, the man who makes them tick. Durando Said Ready for Olson Milwaukee, Wis. (u.R) Al Weill, who handled Ernie Dur- ando in his 10-round split decis ion over Bobby Dykes, said to day Durando was- ready for a shot at the middleweight crown of champion Bobo Olson. "He can punch and the other guys can't," said Weill. Both. Durando and Dykes had cuts over their, left eyes follow ing the bout, and Dykes had two stitches in his eyebrow. It looked like Dykes might take the fight Monday on sup erior ring knowledge until Dur ando caught him with a right cross . early In the eighth and Dykes folded on one knee. He held on the remainder of the round, however, and came back strong in the ninth. But Duran do had built up too big a margin with the eighth-round knock down. vember 5 for- the district championship and the right io enter the state title quarter finals. A unanimous decision was reached yesterday afternoon, according to Glenn Hale, Eagle Point, one of the district committeemen. Other commit tee members ' are Raymond Karp, Myrtle ' Creek, chair man, and Wayne McMurrar, Coquille. The three are prin cipals of their schools. Action by the committee was a follow-up to the 7 to 7 deadlock by Ashland and Cra ter in their fracas at Ashland on Friday. The Grisslies claim ed the title on the bails of more net scrimmage yardage and more first downs. Crater officials sought the nod on the contention that they play more teams within the district and that they threatened to score oftener than Ashland in the Friday game. EVERY ANGLE Hale said ihit the Ashland statistical edge did influence the decision. Telephone calls . between the committeemen and the two schools kept the wires hoi most of Monday. The Eagle Point school offic ial said that every possible angle was considered, even the possibility of a play-off be tween the Griasles and Com. ets. , i As the result of the decis ion, -Crater's tussle with Eagle Point on Friday night, will have no bearing in the' dis trict race. In the final ana lysis only the games among Ashland, Crater and Phosnix figured. Crater also played and defeated Illinois Valley, a district member. Eagle Point and Illinois Valley did not schedule Ashland. The Ashlanders probably will face Coquille in the dis trict titular fray. Crater against Eagle Point will be out to sew up the Rogue League toga. An Eagle Point win will .mean three way tie among the two schools and Phoenix. Official Admits USC Violation Los Angeles (U,R) A Pa cific Coast conference official has admitted a Southern Cali fornia player committed a hold ing penalty as the -Trojans scored the winning touchdown over California here Saturday. Frank McCormick, supervisor of officials for the PCC, told the Southern California Football Writers association yesterday that Trojan halfback Frank Clayton held a Bear player as Trojan Lindon Crow scored in the fourth quarter. The touchdown proved decis ive as Southern California won the game by a narrow 29 to 27 score. The foul was called after the score and the Trojans were pen alized 15 yards on the following kickoff. "It was a case of an official's judgment and the touchdown, of course, stands," McCormick said. High-Scoring UCLA Ranked No. 1; Ohio State, Oklahoma 2nd By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writer UCLA, the highest scoring col lege football team in- the nation, took over the No. 1 spot in the United Press ratings today in a surprise shakeup, with Okla homa and Ohio State tied for second place only three points behind. It was the closest weekly con- teat for first place in the five- year history of the United Press ratings. Oklahoma, which topped the ratings for the three previous weeks, received the largest total of first-place votes from the 35 leading coaches who make up the rating board. The Sooners attracted 17 compared to 10 for Ohio State and eight for UCLA, But Coach Harold Red San ders' Bruins, who have averaged nearly 44 points per game in achieving six straight victories, received a greater total of sec ond and third. place votes than their rivals. As a result, UCLA had 304 out of a possible 350 points while Oklahoma and Ohio State each had 301. UCLA, which crushed Oregon State, 61-0, last Saturday had 10 votes for second place, nine for third, and one each for fourth and 10th places. The Bruins ranked third for the two previous weeks after being fourth and second for the first two weeks of the season. UCLA Favored UCLA, rated an excellent bet to retain the Pacific Coast Con ference championship although not eligible for the Rose Bowl because it went last year, plays California next Saturday. Okla homa faces the biggest obstacle in its path to another Big Seven Conference title when it plays Colorado, while Ohio State meets Northwestern in the Big Ten. Oklahoma beat a weak Kansas State team only 21-0 last Satur day. Ohio State scored an im pressive 31-14 triumph over Wis consin. Arkansas and Army moved up to fourth and fifth places, re spectively, to fill the spots oc cupied previously by last Satur day's upset victims; Notre Dame, idle last week end, held sixth; Wisconsin dropped from second to seventh place, while Purdue, Southern California and West Virginia advanced to take over the last three berths' among the top 10 in that order. Three Drop Out Mississippi fifth last week, Minnesota tied for sixth, and- Colorado 10th dropped out of the select 10 after being beaten. Points, awarded on the basis of 10 for a first-place vote, nine for a second, and so on down to one for a 10th place vote, were distributed as follows: Ar kansas 187; Army 160; Notre Dame 134; Wisconsin 76; Purdue 75; Southern California 69; West Virginia 55.

Michigan, unranked last week, vaulted all the way to 11th place after upsetting Minnesota, Fal lowing the Wolverines among the second teams in order were: Southern Methodist, Rice, Mis sissippi, Miami, Fla., Texas Christian, Navy, Duke, Cincin nati and Alabama. The South west Conference thus had three teams among the second 10. Others among the 26 teams that received points this week: Iowa, Minnesota, Boston College, Yale, Colgate and Virginia Tech.
