Maryland Underdog;
Stanford Over OSC
In Games This Week
" New York (UP.) UCLA,
the national champion team of
1954, was named a six-point fav
orite over title-coracious Mary
land today in a New York run
down of odds on Saturday's big
college football games.
The odds-men seemed to be
disregarding Maryland's 13-12
"squeaker" victory over Missouri
last week as not indicating Mary
land's true strength.
Missouri Underdog
In the same vein, the odds-
makers listed Missouri as a 20
point underdog against Michigan
another leading contender for
the national gridiron crown.
Illinois was favored by six
over California and Notre Dame
by the same margin in making
its season debut against South
em Methodist. Minnesota was a
husky 13-pomt choice over
Washington and Texas was fa
vored by the same amount over
Tulane.
The f igure-e x p e r t s tabbed
three games as even-money toss
ups: Louisana State-Texas A&M,
Colgate-Dartmouth, and Wake
Forest-South Carolina.

Michelosen
Is UP Coach
Of The Week
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) His goal is
a lofty, one but his approach is
simple and direct.
"We want to put Pitt back
where it was when I played for
Jock," he said.
One victory doesn't prove
much and may not even estab
lish a trend but at a quick look
one has to conclude he's moving
in the right direction.
He's the United Press Coach of
the Week, big John Michelosen
who wants to start a new golden
era for Pittsburgh's Golden Pan
thers. Surprising 27-7 Triumph
Last Saturday's 27-7 triumph
over well-rated California was
significant not only because of
the surprising margin but be
cause the team showed traits sim
ilar to the Pitt elevens of the
late Dr. Jock Sutherland. These
things stood out:
1. A superior ground game
with 274 yards gained rushing
to 81 for California.
2. A combination of single
wing power of the old Suther
land style and' a split-T featur
ing some of the old pro tricks
he picked up as coach of the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
3. Superb conditioning which
enabled the Panthers to score
three of their touchdowns in 92
degree heat in the fourth peri
od when Caalifornia was wilted
and exhausted.
Football Briefs
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Coach
Johnny Cherberg and the Uni
versity of Washington Huskies
got some good news yesterday
when quarterback Sandy Leder
man reported in top condition.
Lederman, one of the top pas
sers on the Pacific Coast, has
been out twice this year with an
attack of flu and a split hip
muscle. But he will apparently
be ready for the Minnesota game
Saturday.
TO KANSAS
Pullman,' Wash. (U.R) The
Washington State Cougars
leave for Lawrence tomorrow
for their iniersectional battle
with the University of Kansas
and Coach Al Kircher is
hoping for a big bounce.
The Cougars had time for
only three practice sessions
since they were drubbed, 58-12,
by Southern California last
Saturday. Starting center
John Clark, who sprained an
ankle against the - Trojans,
may not be in shape for the
trip to Lawrence.
Eagles Bid
For National
Pro Title
By RUSS GREEN
United Press Sports Writer
Philadelphia (U.R) - The
Philadelphia Eagles' 1954 Na
tional Football - League title
hopes froze in 36-degree weather
at Cleveland Stadium last Nov.
21 .when they couldn't score
from the Browns' one-yard line
with three minutes to go.
Cleveland's 6-0 victory in that
bitterly-contested game marked
the turning point in the -Eastern
Division race. It also emphasized
the lack of running strength that
has hampered the Eagles since
they ruled the NFL in 1948 and
1949'. on the ball-carrying of
Steve Van Buren.
Philadelphia's sharp "passing
game and rugged defense has
earned it second place or a tie
for the runner-up spot behind the
Browns for the last three years.
But Coach Jim Trimble of the
Eagles - is tired , playing second
fiddle to Paul Brown's Browns.
Rookies May Be Answer:
And Trimble believes he has
the answer this year in the run
ning of rookie fullbacks Dick
Bielski and Ted Wegert plus
more depth in most positions. ;
The exhibition results back
Trimble's optimism. The Eagles
were the only team in the 12
club league to compile a perfect
record in the warm-ups sweep
ing six games.

SECRET SESSION
. Eugene, Ore. (U.R) Coach
Len Casanova pushed his Univer
sity of Oregon Ducks through a
secret session yesterday, de
signed to provide some way to
prevent the hungry USC Trojans
from serving them up on a plat
ter. Casanova praised his squad
for its enthusiasm and hustle in
beating Utah, 14 to 13, last week,
but the Trojans are picked by
many experts as the best on the
Pacific Coast and they have
a 58-12 win over Washington
State to back them up.

a 33-0 victory over Brigham

NEW ATTACK .
' Moscow, Idaho (U.R) Coach
Skip Stahley is preparing a new
passing attack for - the Univer
sity of Idaho Vandals, but he
doubts, that it will be ready for
use against the Univeristy of

dent' that this . week's practice
sessions would eliminate "most"
of the errors which resulted in
the Vandals' 14-7 defeat at the
hands of Washington Saturday.
GILKEY OUT
Berkeley, Calif! (U.R)
Don Gilkey, star guard for the
University of California Bears

sult of a kidney infection, ae-

scrimmage in preparation for

waii. Guard Jim Hughes and tackle
Jack Adams were cited for their
downfield blocking while Adams,

EASES UP
Los Angeles (U.R) Coach
Jess Hill eased up on his
Southern Carlifornia Trojans
today -as the team began taper
ing off drills for its game Friday-night
in -Memorial Coli
seum against Oregon. -
The Trojans went through
their last contact work of the
week yesterday. Halfback Jon

passers during the. workout. .
INJURY TO GUARD
. Los Angeles (U.R) The sec
ond injury to a UCLA right

bone in his right wrist late yes
terday in individual contact
work. He will he lost to the

Steel Ingot Making
May Set New Record
New York (U.R) Steel ingot
production has a good chance of
setting an all-time production
mark this year, the magazine
Iron Age reported today.
The publication said 1955 out
put "will approach 115,000,000
tons compared to the existing
record' of 111,600,000 tons pro
duced in 1953. -' . .
Iron Age reported, an increas
ing number of mills operating at
100 per cent of capacity. Output
has inched ahead steadily after
summer lapses . caused by vaca
tions maintenance work, and
the weather. . , .
Incoming orders continue to
run well ahead of capacity, .Iron
Age noted. The problem will re
main acute next year, the publi
cation predicted, and customers
"will be told what they can ex
pect, not what they would like
to get '
While a small gray -market in
steel exists, it is "not of real sig
nificance," the publication said.
Net Star
Receives
Pro Offer
Los Angeles (U.R) United
States Singles Champion Tony
Trabert today considered an of
fer to turn professional which
promoter Jack Kramer said guar
anteed the amateur tennis star
at least $80,000.
Trabert admitted Kramer had
approached him regarding the
pro tour. He refused to confirm,
however, that Kramer offered
him $80,000. Kramer claimed
that was the amount he offered
the Cincinnati, Ohio, player to
turn professional.
Trabert currently is playing
in the Pacific Southwest Tennis
tournament here. ..
Kramer said his offer to Tra
bert exceeded the one he made
Australian Frank Sedgman
when the latter turned profes
sional. Sedgman was offered
$75,000 or 30 per cent of the
gate on the tour, Kramer said.
Kramer said he also had ap
proached Australian Davis Cup
stars Lew Hoad and Ken Rose
wall, also playing in the Pacific
Southwest Tourney here, to join
the pro tennis tour this winter.
