"Chuck" had a 572 series and a 234 game, only to see the team drop three games p Domestic Laundry.

Veteran sports editor Fred Russell, who made the selections, gave both of these elevens na tional recognition by including them in his listing of the twenty top college teams in the country He predicts that Oklahoma will be the nation's strongest gridiron machine, followed by UCLA, Michigan, Rice, Navy, Army, Maryland, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Ohio State, Min nesota, Kentucky, Southern Cal ifornia, Auburn, Miami, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, SMU; Duke and Baylor, in that order. Commenting on the Pacific Coast conference, Russell says it is twice unbalanced; the Northwest teams are no match for the California teams, and the Northern California teams are fast losing ground to the Southern California teams, so that prospects are that the cham pionship battle will again be within the Los Angeles city lira its. New York Power-packed UCLA will roll over its regular season foes and on' to a victory over Michigan in the Rose Bowl, the new issue of Look magazine predicts. The Uclans razor-sharp single- wing, led by All American full back Bob Davenport, will have trouble with the rugged Iowa line, explosive Southern Cal and Jim Tatum's Maryland Terrapins but should beat at least the first two, Look said.

With a turnout of 50 anticipated for later work outs, townspeople and coaching staff alike are reportedly seeth ing with enthusiasm. According to Coach Akins, ex perienced players are few in proportion to the total number reporting for practice although a number of the players have listed fine prep school and ser viceball records. It was pointed out that a new system, split-T formation, would have to be learned by the entire team. It is expected to produce spectacu lar, crowd-pleasing, planned and optional laterals. Returning lettermen reporting to date include Tom Quinowski, guard, who received honorable mention in the OCC last year; Chuck Remine, guard, all con ference while playing at Medford high in addition to playing in the 1949 Shrine game; Leonard Weber, all-Klamath County, 1949, at half; and James Shrum, Jim McKinney, and Tom Jacob son also listed as halfbacks. . Other Leltermen Other lettermen are: At cen ter, Jason Wilson; fullback, John Garrett; two quarterback aspir ants, Keith Johnson and Bill Seymour; and ends Jerry Liv ingstone, Ray Thiess, and Chuck Crandall. Potentially fine ball packers and linemen turning out at SOC for the first time are Walt Mc Coy and Ted Tenney, transfers from the University of Oregon; Dick Smith, all-conference end three years while at Ashland; and Larry Maurer, a younger brother of Lou and Ron Maurer who made athletic history at SOC a few years ago. Workouts have been sched' uled for mornings and after noons on the Ashland field which will be fully lighted for all home games this year for the first time. Ashland businessmen have re organized the booster's club, for merly known as the Red Raiders Booster's club, and are, as point ed out by Akins, going to make an all-out effort to put the team across by encouraging attend ance at games and by providing part time jobs for deserving players who need extra money to help-them while in schooL Five Newcomers On Ryder Team Chicago (U.R) Five new comers and five veterans will make up the U.

The group will meet at New York Sept. 12 to elect a play ing captain. Lloyd Mangrum was named honorary captain by the PGA executive committee. The current PGA champion always has been accorded a spot ort the team. Since two PGA championships have been play ed since the last matches in 1953, both Ford and Harbert, the 1954- winner, automatically won spots on the team. WINS BpW TOURNEY Mist (U.R) Paul Pintarich of Portland scored 466 points to win the 20th annual Pope-Young Field Archers of Oregon tourna ment here. The tournament is designed to give archers a chance to test their equipment before the archery hunting sea son. : did not go too well. But it is hoped that the let up from hard physical exertion will have the crew back in tune. There was both good and bad riews fronv the camp. On the good side most of the fire fight ing members of the squad were back. Tackle Mel Morgan has returned after a siege of flu. Cearley Crippled : " The bad reports were that back Lloyd Cearley likely will see only limited service and that Rodney Hammer will be out entirely. Cearley had a muscle bruise on his upper arm and his only service may be punting. Hammer broke a thumb. A hard cast reportedly is required and gridders are not allowed to play with such protection. He may be lost for several weeks. Spiegelberg was not ready to day to name a possible starting gang. He indicated that the sit uation is uncertain except in a few spots. Just what kind of opposition Medford will be up against still wasn't too well known today. The Tribe reportedly has been hard hit by graduation. A Port land report indicated just a handful of lettermen returning. Cleveland may have a young club, but Coach Hub Shovlin is expected to have the Indians "up" for the encounter here. Bob Koblens is listed as a halfback standout. Fuller details on the Tribe may arrive on Friday. Eagle Point, ' Bdndon Vie Friday Night Eagle Point A reasonably heavy line-up will take the field for Eagle Point high Fri day night in its season opener here against Bandon high. Weights listed with possible starters indicated a possible team average of 175 pounds with a concentration of heavy lads in the center of the line and lighter boys at the flanks and in the backfield. Coach Stan Smith said that Ron Nelson, 155, and Dennis Boren, 160, or Wayne Christian, 175, may start at ends with Nor man Hooper, 180, and Dick Wal lace, 202 at tackles. Likely guards are Jim Bunker, 190, and Dean Tibbetts, 180. Roy Reagan, 180, may be at center. In the backfield the possibles are Gate. Friend, 170, quarter back; Jack Bunker, 170, or Monte Axtell, 170, left halfback; Adrian Elrod, 155, right half; and Jack Greb, 160, fullback. Line About 180 The line, itself, will average close to 180. pounds, and the backfield about 164. Smith expressed some worry about the physical condition of his club for the opener. The Eagles have only practiced once per day. Some of the boys have been firefighting and others have had to miss drills for other reasons. A number of the play ers have attended only seven of the 10 drills. Thirty-one boys have equipment and turnouts have averaged 26. The mentor mentioned that his club had suf fered no practice injuries but that he was knocking on wood. The 8 p.m. Friday contest will be Eagle Point's first un der lights. There may be as many as eight lettermen in Eagle Point's starting aggregation. Axtell is a transfer from Medford. Christ ian, Jim Bunker and Reagan are sophomores. Smith has his club running from a standard T formation. Stan Hack Signs New Cub Pact Chicago (U.R) Stan Hack, one of the most popular players ever to wear a Chicago Cub uni form, today had some good news from the people who really count the front office. Hack, who has a chance to. pilot the Cubs to their best sea son since 1952, was signed Wed nesday to manage the Cubs again in 956. Terms of the new contract were not announced, but it was believed that Hack got a raise of some kind. ' Hack said only that he was "very satisfied" with the pact. The Cubs finished seventh last year under Hack and most baseball experts predicted a like finish or worse this season. But Hack maintained the club would finish fourth. The Cubs still have a chance to climb into the first division, but it would take a whirlwind finish to beat out the Phillies or Giants. Archie in Good Shape; Enjoys Day of Rest - North Adams, Mass.

But he announced yesterday that this season will be his last, In the following dispatch, he explains what prompted his decision.) By RALPH KINER Written For The United Press Baltimore, Md. U.R) It's no fun any more when playing a ball game is a trial instead of a thrill. I made up my mind a long time ago that I wouldn't stay in baseball when I couldn't play my best any more. The back trouble I've had the past two years plus the fact that I'm getting along in years I'll be 33 next monthdid more than anything else to make up my mind. 11 The toughest part of my de cision concerned my relation ship with the Cleveland ball club. Everyone connected with it treated me wonderfully, from Manager Al Lopez on down. I know I'll miss every one of them when the bell rings next spring. Some people think I'll change my mind and come back next isn't a chance in the world. I've had it and I know it. As a matter of fact I would have quit before this season if I didn't think I could help the Indians win the pennant. VIDEO IN BAR San. Mateo, Calif.
