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

in one season. 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

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.

Record Crowd
By UNITED PRESS
Baseball fans turned out in
record numbers last night to
watch the Eugene Emeralds dis
play the stuff that put, and has
kept them, on top of the North
west League.
A crowd of 7,325 watched the
league leaders beat the other
Oregon entry in the class B loop,
Salem, 3-1, to keep their two
game margin over Wenatchee.
The Chiefs pounded Spokane
9-3 in their bailiwick and Yaki
ma routed visiting Lewiston, 12
1, in the other league contests.
Bill Girdley, Art Preston and
Bill Eastburn each hit doubles,
before or after a single, in the
second, third and fourth innings
to account for Eugene's three
tallies. Berlyn Hodges got credit
for his 14th win against five
losses. Mel Krause was the loser.
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.

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.
"I think our chances are as
good as anyone's," Moss said
Tuesday, the sixth day in which
rain washed out scheduled
matches.
Moss, a 19-y ear-older from Mi

a Seattle, Wash., 21-year-old, tri
umphed in a third round match
Monday over the last seeded
American tandem remaining in
the tournament, Cliff Mayne of
Berkeley, Calif., and Eddie Moy

American and Australian Da

tourney here because of the com

the possibility of a professional
