o Washington Looking For Improved Season With 22 Lettermen (Editor's note his it the. eighth in a series on the pros pects of Pacific Coast Con ference teams for the 19SS (football season.) e 1 Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Coach Johnny Cherberg of Washington agrees he is looking for an "im proved" season over last year's which saw his Huskies finish In tie with Oregon State for last place in the conference. "We cou V go as high as fourth If quarterback Sandy Lederman returns to the form he showed early last fall," Cherberg says, even though the southpaw pas se currently is playing second fijjdle to Steve Roake, a re formed end. Cherberg feels there Is no sub stitute for experience and he hs 22 lettermen coming back. Quarterback , Bob Cox is the only key player among the nine varsity men who departed. Led In Passing Lederman was leading the na tion in passing last year when be broke his leg in the third garrQ and was finished for the season. The injury still may bother him as he looked unim pressive in springs practice and wffc behind Roake when the sessions ended. However, the Lederman- Roake battle is expected to re- 50 Raiders Expected at Frst Drill Ashand Al Akins, Southern Oregon College's new economy- sized mentor, announced Saturday that he is anticipating a turnout of nearly 50 pigskin aspirants for-wis victory-minded Red Raid ers team at the first practice on September 6. According to Coach Akins, the Jield is in perfect shape for thevjast, slashing type of game he wilr employ in the opener against the - Linfield , Wildcats, September 17. "Overall enthusiasm is good," Akins stated, "and with two good workouts a day we should hang hard and tough in there all the way out. We've got an eager, hustUng bal club coming up and G desire to win and that makes for good, exciting football!" ' With approximately 16 return- ing lettermen to fight for places on the team and with a large turnout, Akins emphasized that there would be no sure berths for any player and that starting line-tfp slots would be filled by the men that worked and fought hardest for them. In addition to the following scheduled games, coaches Akins and Ted Schopf, his hard-working assistant, have been angling for another game on October 5 but with nothing definite lined up thus far.

Roake's quarterbacking ex perience may be limited but Cherberg says it's "probematic- al" whether Lederman can move back into the job before his opening game against Idaho. Cherberg figures this year's backfield will be stronger and will show more speed and bet ter performance. Jim Suther land, former California back- field coach, has joined the Wash ington staff to help work on that. The Huskies' strong points are in the line where they are deep in experience and reserves from tackle to tackle. Week points are on the flanks and in line- backing. Sophs Impressive Sophomores who have lmpres ed Cherberg are Dick Day, a 245-pound left tackle and Jim Jones, 196-pound halfback. A three way battle for the left tackle spot may rage between Day and lettermen Jerry Esser and Ed Sheron. "We suffered injuries and mis haps last year which ruined the nucleus of a good club," Cher berg declares. "Inexperienced sophs had to carry the load dur ing the last half of the season. But the experience they picked up plus the return of injured men lends to an improved out look." Cherberg will emphasize a split T rather than the straight T which predominated last year as the Huskies won two games and lost eight. The schedule: Sept. 17 Idaho; Sept 24 At Minnesota; Oct. 1 Oregon at Portland; Oct. 8 Southern Cal ifornia; Oct. 15 Baylor; Oct. 22 Stanford; Oct. 29 Oregon State; Nov. 5 At California; Nov. 12 At UCLA; Nov. 19 Washington State AussiesWin Davis Cup Forest Hills, N. Y. (U.R) Australia won the cherished Davis cup Saturday when Lew Hoad and Rex Hartwig flattened Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas, 12-14, 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to re capture from the United States the big silver trophy emblmatic of word tennis supremacy. The doubles triumph, on the heels of two stunning singles victories, gave the Aussies an Insurmountable 3 to 0 lead and reduced today's two final singles matches to the status of ; ex hibitions. Hoad gave the "Aussies their big surge - when he flattened Trabert, the Wimbledon king, in Friday's singles match. He teamed with 25-year-old Hartwig yesterday before 10,000 fans at Forest Hills to wind it up to all intents and purposes. Bill Talbert, captain of the U. S. team said he would use Ham Richardson, 22, of Baton Rouge, La., a team member for five years, against Rosewall to day. Richardson never has play ed in the challenge round. Seixas will face Hoad in the first match. NAMED QUEEN DeLake (U.R) Lois Roberts of Wecoma Beach Friday night was chosen queen of the 1955 National Outboard champion ships being held on Devil's Lake. She graduated from Taft High school this year. The crown is worth a trip to Hawii for its wearer. Detroit, automobile capital of the nation, is one of the few cities in the United States that still has a mounted police force. QT-California Double Header Set for 3 p.m. A lafer-than-usual starring rime for today's girls' soft ball double header at Fair grounds park has been set to enable fans io watch the tele vised football oame and still be act to see the girls play, it was stated yesterday. Three o'clock has been set for the first game of the twin bill when the Rogue Valley QTs play Durham, Calif. The QTs meet Orland, Calif., in the second game, which will get under way as soon as the field can be relined after the first contest. The Californlans will bring a good season record of play in the strong Sacramento Val ley league, where Durham finished second and Orland third. But the QTs are de termined to make their season closure a successful one and have strengthened their club for these games. DIMAO IN SICILY Rome (U.R) Joe DiMaggio, one-time pride of the New York Yankees, arrived Friday to be gin a 15-day visit in Sicily and Italy.

Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg, starting his fourth season at the Black Tornado football helm, said twice per. day workouts will be in order most of the time until just before the open ing game against Cleveland high of Portland on September 10. Listed drill times of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. may be altered accord ing to weather and players work ing schedules. Attention will be focused on conditioning and fundamentals in the early practices. Spiegel berg said, however, that the squad will go into some plays on the second day of workouts. An offensive scrimmage is plan ned for Saturday; September 3. Heavy Task While the outlook for 1955 is not discouraging, the Black Tornado faces a heavy task in defending its District 6 A-l and Southern Oregon Conference diadems. Klamaths is rated high for this season , and rumblings from Grants Pass indicate that the Cavemen have their hearts set on going all the way. Monte Hoist, guard, and Mike Hawkins, halfback, are the two returning regular starters. Both are senios. They are also the only two-year lettermen. Among the 17 one-year men are . at least five, three seniors and two juniors who saw consid erable service during 1954. The seniors are Dave Drummand and Jack Gregory, guards, and Gary Shaffer, center, and the juniors are Dick McLaughlin, back, and Neil Plumley, tackle. Availa bly of Plumley, however, is currently clouded by illness. He was a defensive tower of strength late in the season last year. Bosworth Back , One of the remaining vets Is a senior who earned his "M" as a sophomore but missed the entire season last year. He is Dave Bosworth who was hurt in an auto accident the night be fore the 1954 opening game. He flashed fine ability at fullback while, a, sophomore. Other senior lettermen are John Bellack, back; Al Board man, tackle; Maury Butts, Rod ney Hammer and Jerry Gatline, ends, and Darrel Ross and Jim Coleman, guards. The addition junior lettermen are Bob Apple, guard; Larry Cranston, tackle; Dick Copple, end, and Dick Swinney, center. The Tornado will draw from varsity reserves and jayvees to bolster the squad and a number of sophmores, from last year's strong ninth grade club, may prove varsity material. Among the top varsity re serves from last year are Lloyd Cearley, half and fullback, con sidered Medford's best passing and punting prospect, and Eldon Francis, halfback and quarter back. Cearley will be a senior and Francis a junior. Similar Offense Spiegelberg has indcated that the Tornado offense will be similar to that of 1954. Both T and single wing formations were used with unbalanced line. Pre season indications are that the Medford club may not pack great weight.

C (U.R) De termined Pat Lesser of Seattle, Wash., sank her first putt nine times Saturday to crush Jane Nelson, a plucky Indiana school teacher, 7 and 6 and take her first women's national amateur golf crown in six tries. Peering coolly through her thick spectacles, the dark-eyed new champion also had a "no putt" green on the 20th hole, a par five, where she lofted a 60-yard seven-iron shot into the cup for an eagle. It was the first big win for the 22-year-old girl who came out of the northwest in 1950 to take junior and intercollegiate titles and also win the last western amateur. The best she had done previously in the big national was the semi-finals in 1953. Miss Lesser's finest shot and the finest of the tournament, was a looping 60-foot seven-iron which she holed out for an eagle three on the 446-yard 20th which put her six up. She fell back one on the 21st when both girls went into the. trap and Miss Nelson came on the green in three to sink a 15-footer, her first long putt of the day.

Vic Wertz Hopes He Will Play Again This Season (The following dispatch was dictated by th polio-stricken Vic Werti to his wif a. Lucille, from his Lakeside hospital bed.) By VIC WERTZ Written For The United Press Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland (U.R) I've got two strikes on me but I'm still a long way from being out. I know I have polio and I also know I'm going to lick it. They tell me this thing may end my baseball career but they'll never make me believe it. Maybe it sounds daffy but I still hope to play for the In dians before this season is over. Thinking of baseball right now is a little rough, though, be cause of the pain in my back and in my legs. But that'll go away in time. A little of the pain even seemed to go away Friday night. Maybe that was because I was listening to the Indians beat the Yankees on the radio my wife, Lu, brought to the hospital for me. Wife By Side That's another reason I'm sure I'll be okay. As long as my wife is at my side like she has been from the first minute they Cleveland (U.R) General Manager Hank Greenberg said Saturday the Cleveland Indi ans have received permission from Commissioner Ford Frick to bring up a replacement for th polio-stricken Vic Wertz from their Indianapolis farm club of th American Associa tion. Greenberg said h prob ably would recall either Rudy Regalado or Rocky Colavito. Regalado is hitting .320 for the Indians while Colavito is batting .270. brought me in here yesterday I know I can battle my way out of the worst kind of slump. I've done it before on. the ball field so why can't I do it again here? The one thing I want to do most is thank all the people who have sent me their good wishes. They say you can really tell how many friends you have when you wind up in the hospital. That makes me a real lucky guy. THREE-STATE MAN Memphis, Tenn.
