Both Washington State tacklers sprawled as he teams took turns leading but Washington slips from their grasp to make a five yard State came out on top, 30-26. Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press New York (U.R) Football's extra point is on the gridiron griddle again today and, while all this shouting will be about as effective as whistling into a rain barrel, the suggestion that it be abolished makes for inter esting speculation. Some of the. game's better minds have suggested for years now that the extra point be abol ished. This cry has been raised again by stout Steve Owen, the former New York Giant coach who is one of the keenest stu dents of the game. Apparently the major hurdle is tradition. "We have voted on this ques tion in three of the last 10 years and each year the coaches voted by a large margin to leave it as it is, explains Lou Little, head of the coaches' Rules Committee "After all, it is traditional." Once Worlh Five Yet, after all, the touchdown once was worth five points and this was changed. So, too, were many things which were tradi tion before the Carlisle Indians ever heard of football. And Little, when . he sends out his annual questionnaire to the coaches next week, may discov er that there is a surprising list in favor of abolishing the extra point or making some practi cal changes. "Fritz Crisler of Michigan had a fine idea," explains Owen, "when he suggested that the ex tra point place kick be worth one point as now but that it be worth two points if accomplish ed, on a run or pass. This at least would add a xit of interest." Ed (Moose) Krause, athletic director at Notre Dame, also hinted that he was in a receptive mdod to a change. Tough To Lose By One It's tough for a team to play a great game and lose because of one point when it actually doesn't tell the difference be tween the two teams," Krause asserted. There must be a host of other coaches who feel the- same way after losing one-point decisions this year. The coaches, at Georgie Tech and Utah must be bitter after their teams each dropped two games on the extra point which isn't actually part of the game s playing time but is kick ed with time being out. And im agine how the coaches feel at Boston University, Delaware and Amherst, all of which lost perfect records by that boot be tween the uprights. These are not isolated cases. Just to mention a few of the one-point victims the list in cludes Virginia Princeton, Har vard, Cornell, Navy, Illinois, Baylor, Tennessee, LSU, Iowa, Michigan State Brigham Young, Washington, Detroit, North Carolina State and Hardin- Simmons.

Some 18 candidates reported to Coach Slats Gill for the work out, including eight varsity let termen and two non-lettermen from last year's Beaver squad, and five members of the fresh man squad last year. Wade "Swede" Halbrook, all Pacific Coast selection last year, will be ineligible for the team until next semester be cause of scholastic deficiencies. Beaver veterans include Tex Whiteman, Bill Toole and Ron Robins, who have earned three varsity letters, and Reggie Hal ligan, Ron Fundingland, Tony Vlastelica and Johnny Jarboe with two letters. The Beavers open their pre conference season against the University of Hawaii Dec. 1st at Corvallis. 1 N , Fernandez Has Brooks Buzzing Over Ability Brooklyn (U.R) Chicd Fer nandez, "on a par with Chico Carasquel right now," had the Brooklyn Dodger front office making a lot of optimistic 1955 plans today, including the trans fer of veteran PeeWee Reese over to second base. The fancy-fielding, 21-year- old Fernandez "will be even bet ter than Carrasquel in two or three years," according to play ers who competed against him in the International League last season and those who are seeing him for the first time in the Cu ban Winter -league now.

(U.R) The Uni versity of Washington Huskies went through their usual Mon day routine yesterday, watching movies of their 26-7 loss at the hands of Oregon and hearing scouting reports on this week's opponent, California. Coach -Johnny Cherberg said sophomore right halfback Jim Thomas, who tore some liga ments in his left knee against the Ducks, is a 'doubtful starter" against the Golden Bears. DUKE MAY BE OUT Pullman, Wash. (U.R) Senior fullback Duke Washington of the Washington State Cougars may not see action against the Michigan State Spartans Satur day, according to Coach Al Kircher. Washington suffered a sprain ed ankle during WSC's 30-26 victory over the Stanford In dians last week and was not able to suit up for practice yes terday. However, ends Don Gest and Ed Clark, injured early in the game Saturday, were back in uniform. PIERCE TO PLAY San Jose, Calif. (U.R) First string quarterback Benny Pierce should be ready for action Sat urday night when the San Jose State Spartans tangle with the College of Pacific Tigets at Stockton. Coach Bob Bronzman said Pierce suffered a hip pointer in a "brutal collision" with George Veit in the first play of the game against North Texas State last week. Veit suffered a broken neck, and his team was defeated, 27-20, led by the San Jos esquad. BEARS INJURED Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Coach Lynn Pappy Waldorf counted at least six injuries on his Univer sity of California squad yester day as a result of the 27-6 set back suffered last week end at the hands of the rugged Bruins of UCLA. He said the most seriously in jured were reserve left halfback Tom Kramer, who suffered a sprained ankle, and Ted Gran ger, sophomore fullback who sprained his ankle. Both men will be out of action against the Washington Huskies Saturday. Results: Henry's 2 G. Barr C. Leonard P. Morgan 825 Absentee 513 Pfaff 1 485 E. Lenz S13 512 A. Klatt 441 B. St. Hiiaire siv C.

"We had . a completely green backfield," Coach Joe Kuharich' recalled today. "Al Dorow at quarterback, Joe Scudero and Billy Wells at the halves and Dale Atkeson at full are all play ing their first year at pro ball and up front, Bones Taylor and center Harry Ulinski were the only veterans. This unit played nearly the entire game on of fense and they did pretty well against a pretty good defense club." Kuharich's gamble on this in experienced but fiery gang of youngsters paid off, and the youthful coach himself credited spit . and "desire to win" with their surprising showing.
