Oregon Staters Could Be On Wdy Back in Football; Single Wing (Editor's Note Thi is an-' t other in a series on the pros pects of Pacific Coast confer ence learns for the 1955 sea- Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) The battered Oregon State Beavers have a new coach in Tohimy Pro thro and a break in the sched ule which have the students shouting "we're on the way back!" Prothro, former UCLA line coach, installed the single wing to replace the slightly dented itraight T used by ex-coach La verne (Kip) Taylor. That in it self strikes a note because it was under the single wing tutelage of Lon Stiner that OSC enjoy ed its greatest days and even wound up in the Rose Bowl of 1942 although it was moved to Durham, N.C. ; Such rough intersectionals as Minnesota and Nebraska are off this year's card and the Beavers open against Brigham Young, which is rated fairly weak. Twelve lettermen are gone including tackle Ron Aschbach r and starting quarterback Dick Withrow but 26 have return ed headed by Dick Mason and Ray Westfall. Mason, the team's leading ground gainer of 1954, will func tion as a wingback. Westfall, the team's sophomore quarterback q$ last year, shifts to tailback in the new system. Witt at. Tackle Frothr'o sees the squad's strongest points at the. tackles, which will be fanned by veter ans John Witte and Howard Buettgenbach. The coach also holds a fistful of good looking sophs. Among them are Joe Francis, who is gunning for Westfall's tailback Job, and Sam "Wesley who eyes Mason's spd$. Another sharp battle for If ft and is on between Norm Thiel and Leon Hittner. Other impressive sophs are tackle Dave Jesmer, end Bob Degrant, wingback , Sterling Hammack, guard Bob McKittrick and blocking back Ted Searle and guard Jack Hogan. Graduation also stripped the Beavers gpf their starting ends and guards along with regular left halfback Jack Peterson but the optimises aura o of a new deal still prevails. "It's all a matter of time," Suaps Nashua lace Wednesday 2:15 p. m. KYJ C Reinstalled one member of the athletic de partment said. "Everyone feels that Tommy will do the job but nobody expects miracles in one year. OSC should be a little stronger than last fall and con siderably stronger in 1956. The single wing fits our material bet ter." THEoSCHEDULE: Sept. 17 Brigham Young; Sept. 24 Stanford at Portland; Oct. 7 At UCLA; Oct. 15 at College of the Pacific; Oct. 22 Washington State; Oct. 29 at Washington; Nov. 5 Idaho; Nov. 12 At California; Nov. 19 At Oregon.
