PioneerY Everett Piclcecl On Little All-Coast Team Art Luppino Needs 10 To Best Husker New York (U.R) Art Lup pino, the Arizona sophomore who is almost certain to be the nation's top major-college ball carrier this year, needs to score only 10 points in his last game Saturday to become the highest scorer in the last 34 years. Luppino has completely out classed the field by tallying 21 touchdowns and 22 extra points for a total of 148, NCAA Ser vice Bureau statistics showed to day. He scored 10 last Saturday and needs the. same amount against Wyoming this week to surpass the 157-point output of Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds rec orded in 1950. No one else has scored that many since Jim Leech of VMI set the all-time major college record of 210 in 1920. Right now Luppino is No. 9 on the all-time list. Kick-Off Returns ; The, stocky soph also has the 1954 kickoff -return title wrap ped up. He has run 574 yards, more than 100 yards more than North Carolina State's George . Marinkov, and all the other con tenders are through for the year. - If it weren't for Luppino in scoring, though, there would be a close race in that department. Penn State's Lenny Moore wound up with 13 touchdowns for 78 points, . which is good enough for second place right now. But Oklahoma's Buddy Leake, with 77, - and Army's Tom Bell, with 72, each play Saturday. Colorado's Carroll Hardy is finished with 68 points but Denver's Rusty Fairly, who has 67, has two games left. ! Five players who have com pleted their season have : 11 touchdowns for 66 points UCLA's Bob Davenport, Colo rado's John' Bayuk, Minnesota's Bob McNamara, Oregon's Dick James and Iowa's Earl Smith.

Exact time and place will be announced as soon as arrangements for a meeting place are arranged. . One of the best "kick-off" organizational meetings in re cent seasons was held last night at the Medford Armory. About 20 men were at the session de spite the fog. Seven prospective teams were represented. Three others sent reports that they were interested. It is thought that sveral groups not heard from last night may also want to join. There was discussion at the session of limiting the league to 10 teams for 1954-1955 play. It was decided that attendance of a team representative at the Monday session should be man datory if that team is to get into the circuit. If more than 10 groups are represented, it is possible that a larger circuit may be organized. A team entry fee of $35 was set and the clubs will be re quired to pay a fee of $-1 per player with $10 team minimum for shower privileges at the gymnasium used here. Pay ment of the fees is requested at the Monday session and it may be that the first 10 clubs to lay their money on the line may be the league this. season.

United Press Sports Writer The Washington Redskins are camping at the bottom of the Na tional Football League's Eastern Division but, ironically, they have contributed useful players to several of the current title con tenders. ' Don Paul of the Cleveland Browns, Harry Dowda of the Philadelphia Eagles, Ray Col lins of the New York Giants nd Hall Haynes of the Los Angeles Rams are among the former Red skins playing for clubs still in volved in the division races.' Paul quit Washington ' when owner George Preston Marshall fired Curley Lambeau and made Joe Kuharich his coach last Au gust. The Browns, trying to plug leaks in their defensive back field, promptly hired Paul. He has become an important cog in a defensive unit that has helped the club take the Eastern Divi sion lead by allowing its last five opponents a total of only 30 points. - . : ' .- Eagles Assembled Cast-Off s The Eagles assembled a strong club from a number of cast-offs, including Dowda. Like Paul, Dowda is a defensive back. He caught end Pete Brewster on the Philadelphia 10 last Sunday to prevent a Cleveland touchdown on a pass play. The Browns won, 6-0, but Dowda's defensive play on Brewster might have made the difference if the Eagles had been able to score from inside the Cleveland; five late in the game. , Collins has been an outstand ing defensive tackle since he came to the Giants. Haynes is a defensive back for the Rams, who currently are tied with the Forty-Niners for second in the Western Division. Gene Lipscomb, 280-pound tacKie, is another player the Rams obtamed from Washing ton. . . . . r .

' - Harshman, who compiled a 14 8 record with the White Sox, also signed for next season.
