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.

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:
