o o 0 Golden Bears' Grid Squad Green But Well Balanced (This it another in a series on the prospects of Pacific Coast Conference teams for the 1955 season.) Berkeley, Calif. fU.R) Coach Lynn Waldorf of California is off the spot at long last as he prepares for a 1955 grind with a griHSn squad which has been stripped of the masterful throw ing'rm of Paul Larson. "It certainly is the most in experienced group I've had since I came here in 1947," Waldorf rumbles as he notes that Matt Hazeltine, the great Bear center, also has graduated. "However, this is a well balanced club and I don't think we'll do too bad." Waldorf agrees that the sched ule looks easier than last year's murderous affair which saw his Bears flung against mighty Ok lahoma, Ohio State, and UCLA Standings virirtr rniST I FACTE W. I..

UCLA still is on the menu but this falls inter sectionals are with such tamer outfits as Pittsburgh, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Good Ball Packers The Bears will have to make up for Larson's absence by stick ing more to the ground and Wal dorf appears to have plenty of material in that department. Jerry Drew, who averaged 9.29 a carry last year, is in line for the fullback spot although he may have trouble keeping it from Steve Dimeff who holds the edge in blocking and line backing. There is better than average speed at the halfbacks with John ny Wilson and Ted Granger re turning. Both were starters at various times last year. Tom Kramer may or may not be back to beef up the situation if he can get past his scholastic difficulties. Some lucky non-letterman is in line for Larson's assignment at quarterback. The inside track seems to belong to Mike Casey, who leads in varsity experience. But Gus Gianlulis, last year's Frosh quarterback, might be in there come Sept. 17. New' Men in Line The ends are solid but lack depth. Jim Carmichael, who was third in pass receiving last ye?. as Larson's batterymate, has the call at right end and Bill Vallo tin, a converted back, may edge out Ed Brandt at left end. A bad hole was torn in the tackle brigade when Harry Ghilarducci was pronounced un fit to play after undergoing an eye operation. While Bob Oliver returns to work on the left side, Don Tronstein, a junior letter man, and Ray Young, up from the Ramblers, will vie for Ghil arducci's position. .-Don Gilkey and Nick Poppin are two seasoned guards but there is no one to backstop them. Cen ter also is a plum for some non letterman. Don Mitchell and Frank Mattarocci are likely can didates, although Mitchell is weak on defense and Matarocci short on experience. The schedule: Sept. 17 At Pittsburgh; Sept. 24 Illinois; Oct. 1 Pennsyl vania; Oct. 8 Washington State; Oct. 15 Oregon at Portland; Oct. 22 Southern California; Oct. 29 At UCLA; Nov. 5 Washington; Nov. 12 Oregon State; Nov. 19 At Stanford. ARCHIE GIVES UP FLYING North Adams, Mass. (U.R) Archie Moore finally has decid ed to give up his flying lessons, at least until alter his heavy weight title bout with champion Rocky Marciano, Sept. 20. The promoters of the fight have been urging the 38-year-old Moore to postpone flying until the conclu sion of the bout, but it took a near accident Friday to convince the challenger he ought to stop flying for a while.

Downey Victor Over Defender Charlotte, N. C. (U.R) Mary Ann Downey, a Baltimore miss who has hovered on the fringes of golf glory for six years, made a major grab for prestige in the Women's National Amateur to day on the strength of a victory over defending champion Bar bara Romack. Miss Downey's opponent to day was Mrs. E. C. K. Finch of New Canaan, Conn champion of her state, in the first of two rounds over the Myers Park Country Club course today. The field of 32 survivors will be trimmed to eight by nightfall. MiSs Downey, who reached the fifth round in the National Amateur last year, was making her seventh try for the title the girls want most. She got to the fifth round last year before los ing to Ft. Worth's Polly Riley, who still is in this tournament and in Miss Downey's bracket at that. Miss Downey defeated the curvesome blonde Miss Romack because she played it close when she saw her r opponent going askew off the tee. Her medal score was nothing to brag about an 80 over the par 74 for ladies on Myers Park's 6,413 yard course.

At Wenatchee, Bob Duretto poled a grand slam home run in the first inning and catcher Joe Rossi followed up with a bases empty homer in the second inning to get the Chiefs off and away to their easy win over Spokane. John Marshall was the tvinner, Gene Rosen the loser in that one. John Kelly spaced five hits in going the route for his vic tory over Lewiston at Yakima. Meanwhile, his mates were get ting 14 safe blows. w?ooy ry I V I recappable tire P Plus Tax PAY AS LOW AS A WEEK LET YOUR OLD TIRES BE YOUR DOWN PAYMENT MORE PEOPLE RIDE ON GOODYEAR TIRES THAN ON ANY OTHER KIND MDEDDLFCIDIMD H Quillian Looms As Title Timber Chestnut Hill, Mass. (U.R) Jerry Moss and Bill Quillian, who didn't expect to get past the quarter-finals, looked like cham pionship timber today as play resumed in the rain-disrupted 75th National tennis doubles tournament at Longwood Crick et club.
