Taylor Can't Figure Out How Indians Lost To OSC By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) Chuck Taylor, the optimistic coach of the Stanford Indians, is learn ing about the law of averages something many folks thought had been repealed in his favor years ago. The youthful chieftain can't, for the life of him, figure out how his team lost to Oregon State last Saturday after con- Large Crop Of Frosh At Oregon State Corvallis (U.R) A big crop of freshman athletes, including six-foot-10-inch basketball star Gary Goble of Toutle Lake, Wash., and two-time all-state hoopster Ted Miller of Milwaukie, were enrolled at Oregon State college today.

They are Tony Arana of Vale; Nub Beam er of Roseburg; Terry Salisbury of North Salem; Duane Marshall of St. Helens; Mickey Gray of Roosevelt; Gene McMullen of Lincoln; Dennis Brundage of Roseburg and Buzz Randall of Estacada. All but Brundage and Randall are backs. From Los Angeles came Jim Brackins, winner of the Naval Academy award for the out standing student -athlete in Southern California. He plays guard. Several other California prep stars enrolled. Copple Enrolled Miles Boardman of Bend, named the most valuable back in the 1953 Shrine game, enter ed school after two years in the service.

Chuck ought to look back at the records for 1951, his first tyear as head coach, when he piloted the team to the Rose Bowl. That was the year the Indians got pushed around something fierce by just about every foot ball team on the coast but still won every game except the one with California and, of course, the Rose Bowl tilt. Ball Bounced Right That was the year, too, when the ball bounced right for Stan ford 99 times out of 100 and there is the bare possibility that the young man had the idea that was the way life was to be. In those days, Taylor became known as the "luckiest coach alive." Now the ball is bouncing the other way, and there is the pos sibility that there may be a drouth of good fortune for a couple of years to offset some of the accumulated breaks in the past. If the Oregon State game is any criterion, it looks like a long, gloomy season for the Red Men. Stanford had the ball for 89 plays against 34 for Oregon State, but lost, 0-10. Stanford picked up 205 yards net rushing to 82 for the Beavers; and 158 passing against 68. Oh, yes, and the Indians had 23 first downs against seven for Tommy Proth ro's new single-wing boys. Lady Luck Took Hand "How It was possible to, lose that ball game, I'll never know," said Taylor afterwards. "It just couldn't be done." But it was and it again is the case of Lady Luck taking a hand in determining the out come of a ball game. This is not to take, anything away from Oregon State. But even Coach Prothro will have to admit that his club might have had just a few few more of the breaks than normally is anticipated. "But there's one thing about losing that tilt," philosophizes Taylor, "and that is that it will stop all that silly Rose Bowl talk. Now we can just take the games as they come!" Neal Rivers Wins 10-Rounder Over Bobby Dawson New York (U.R)- Slugger Neal Rivers, who jerked the welcome-home mat from be neath Bobby Dawson's feet Mon day night, will get another mid dleweight TV fight at St. Nich olas Arena on Nov. 7. Stocky Rivers of Niagara Falls, N.Y., won a unanimous 10-round decision over lanky, Georgia-born Dawson, who was making his first American ap pearance after five years in Eu ropean rings. He now lives in New York. Each 1 suffered 10-stitch cuts about the brows. As a reward for his ninth straight victory, 21-year-old Neal will be matched for Nov. 7 with the winner of the Milo Savage-Artie Towne fight at St. Nick's Oct. 17. Beaver Population High in New York State Albany, N .Y. Never since Colonial times has the beaver population been higher than it is now in New York State. The conservation department is extremely proud of that fact because in 1900 the beaver popu lation, which played a 'big part in attracting early settlers to the state, was down to one lonely fellow named Clarence who lived in Racquette Lake.

Football Briefs Moscow, Idaho U.R) Coach Skip Stanley hinted today he has something up his sleeve to cure his University of Idaho Vandals' "sickly running offense" when they meet Arizona Saturday at Tucson. : Stahley sent the Vandals through a two-hour light work out yesterday in their first prac tice since Saturday's loss to Utah. Starting halfback Ray Bittner, who sprained an ankle against Utah, remained off the field but was expected back in uniform tomorrow." Stahley said he probably will see action against Arizona.

Sophomores Ben Milam, fullback, and Floyd Richmond halfback, suited up for the first time since they were side lined with injuries before the season got under way. Tuesday, September 27, 19S3 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN SIPODIFirS ' PRAISES HUSKIES Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Coach johnny Cherberg, greatly pleas ed with the University of Wash ington's 30-0 win against Minne sota, praised his Huskies today for their "great team effort." He said he has "every confi dence the team will show this team effort every Saturday of the season." The Huskies held a light workout yesterday, but schedul ed heavy drills today in prepara tion for Saturday's conference game against Oregon. Tackle George Struger and guard Nat Davis, who suffered sprained ankles Saturday, were reported in good shape. PROUD NEW LOOK Corvallis, Ore. tU.R) Coach Tommy Prothro, proud of his "new look" Oregon State Beavers for their star tling 10-0 upset victory over Stanford, sent his team back to heavy drills today in pre paration for their next "big one" against UCLA Oct. 8. Interest in the UCLA clash was already high. Prsjthro served nine years under Red Sanders as UCLA backfield coach and brought Sanders' single-wing attack with him when he came to Oregon State last spring. WORK ON PASSES Eugene, Ore. U.R) The Uni versity of Oregon Webfoots, known for their air attack in seven of the last nine seasons, concentrated today on develop ig passing talent to by-pass the heavy Washington Huskies' line in Portland Saturday. The Ducks, who have com pleted only five throws in two games, meet Washington in Multnomah Stadium and will face a huge line topped by sev eral men tipping the scales at more than 220 pounds. SIX INJURED Stanford, Calif. '(U.R) The Stanford Indians counted six men on the bench with injur ies today, but three of them are possible starters for Sat urday's game here against Ohio Slate. Halfback Lou Valli, tackle Chris Plain and end Joel Freii have been declared definitely out of the Ohio Stale tilt. The other three, halfback Gordy Young, center Don Geddes and end Steve Doctor, were expected to see some action Saturday. The Indians ran through a series of defense plays yester day which they expect Ohio Stale to spring on them. RUNNING DRILLS Berkeley, Calif. J(U.R The twice - defeated University of California Bears ran through ex tensive running and . contact drills today in preparation for Saturday's intersectional foot ball game against Pennsylvania. Guard Don Gilkey, who was side-lined with a kidney infec tion during the weekend, re joined the squad yesterday in a lengthy semi-contact' drill which ended under the lights. - Team physicians also gave varsity tackle Bob Oliver, side lined since pre-season knee in jury, permission to work out lightly, but benched him for the Penn game. RESUME WORKOUTS Los Angeles U.R) The UCLA first team resumed workouts today after getting Webfoots Oppose Huskies In Portland On Saturday University of Oregon, Eugene Oregon's Ducks begin a three week end home stand this Sat urday when they play host -to Washington's Huskies at Multno mah stadium in Portland. This will be the first chance for Webfoot grid fans to see the 1955 version of Len Casanova's football club,' probably, the youngest 'outfit that the veteran grid coach has had in his five years at Oregon. It will be the 49th renewal of the Ancient football wars be tween the two schools, Oregon winning last year 26-7 behind the brilliant passing of quarter back George Shaw. Shaw is gone this year, as well as 15 other lettermen, in cluding all but four of last year's starters. Compared to the Ducks 13 returning monogram wearers, Washington's Johnny Cherberg had 25 returning vets on hand to start this season. Ducks Outweighed . Oregon will go into this one outweighed as well 'as out-ex perienced. Average weight of the Husky forward well is 207 compared to 199 for the Web foots. A similar difference is ap parent in the backfield where Washington outweighs Oregon Seals Ask City For Support San Francisco (U.R) The San Francisco baseball club has asked the city to help it fight its way back from threatening bankruptcy. "We have reached a point where it is impossible to con tinue under the present cu-ciim- stances," Seal President Damon Miller told the Board of Super visors yesterday. Miller said he believed the problem would be solved if the city bought Seals stadium from multi-millionaire Paul I. Fagan and rented it to the club at a "nominal rate." That would also solve the present heavy tax bite. Seals, $280,000 In Debt The Seals are approximately $280,000 in debt and Miller list ed the heavier expenses as $29,' 000 in stadium rent, $35,000 for maintenance of the park and $36,000 in city taxes. Miller's so-called "Little Cor poration" bought the franchise and the players from the league in the fall of 1953 after Fagan sold all his holdings except the park. The corporation then rent ed the stadium from Fagan on a basis of 10-cents per paid admis sion. , f Miller told the city board yes terday that other Pacific Coast league cities are helping their baseball teams in some manner. a one-day rest because of the bruising Maryland game. Coach Henry (Red) Sanders, who drilled his second and third teams yesterday, takes the Bruins to Pullman. Wash.. Saturday or their first Pacific Coast Conference game of the season with Washington State. Team doctors said tailback Ronnie Knox, injured in the Maryland game, suffered only a bruised shoulder and not a separation as feared at first. End Rommie Loudd suffered a minor knee injury against the Terps but also will be ready for Washington Slate. DEFENSIVE DRILLS Los Angeles (U.R) Coach Jess Hill worked his Southern California Trojans today on ways to stop quarterbacks Joe Clements of Texas, the nation's total offense leader. The Trojans meet Texas Fri day night in Memorial Coliseum. Clements completed 17 of 22 passes against Tulane for 215 yards and three touchdowns as Texas won 35-21. SC drilled yesterday botbxbn passing - offense and defense, quarterback Jim Contratto, Ells worth Kissinger and Frank Hall handled the Trojan passing from the T formation with end Leon Clarke and right half Don Hickmand doing most of the receiving. You'll Always Find Reliability Uniformity Full Strength IN EVERY LOAD OF TRU-MIX CONCRETE Tru-Mix Concrete Co. FAST. PROMPT DELIVERY McAndrews Read PhoM 2-5271 192 to 180 per man. What the Ducks lost in weight they have shown they can re place in speed. Starting at the halfbacks for Oregon are Dick James, co-owner of the 1954 PCC scoring crown, and sophomore flash Jim Shanley. At fullback there is another sophomore, sprinter Jack Morris. Although the heaviest of the lot at 188, Morris is expected to be ao stand out for Coach Bill Bowerman's tract team. With the incomparable Shaw no longer in the Duck plant, passing was looked at with con siderable doubt for 1955. But a pair of unrelated juniors going by the name of Crabtree have developed rapidly in late drills. Better Balance Tom, Crabtree, a converted halfback from the 1954 squad, is the most familiar with the Casanova T formation system. Jack Crabtree, a transfer from San Bernadino junior college, has flashed good form at the handoff slot and as of late is be ginning to look like a potential passing threat. Casanova is hoping this year to have a better balanced attack than in his four previous years at Oregon. Before, with Shaw, and before that. Norm Van Brocklin, the Oregon attack has always been heavy in air traffic. This season in the James-Shan-ley-Morris trio, the Webfoot head man has one of the fastest set of backs at Oregon since the war. The balance, he hopes, will come from one of the Crabtrees, Tom or Jack. Morris has shown that he can block well, running interference for scooters James and Shanley. Morris also does the footwork for the Ducks, place-kicking, kicking off and a fair share of the purting. Should the Ducks ever need a power threat, they have right behind Morris at fullback, Boise JC transfer Fred Miklancie, a 213 pound, 5-11 junior. And in back of James and Shanley at the halfs are another pair of ex tremely fast men, both JC trans fers, Jack Brown and Chuck Os borne. V TO MANAGE OFFICE Portland (U.R) Mrs. Jean L. Lewis, Democratic state repre sentative frpm Multnomah coun ty, today was. named manager of the Oregon office of Sen. Wayne Morse which will open here in the. near future. Rochester Takes Lead in Little World Series Minneapolis (U.R) Roch ester had the Little World Series title in clear sight today in the wake of its 8-4 victory Monday night over the Minneapolis Mil lers. . The Redbird's victory gave them a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven game series. What was even more import ant, Rochester ' had well-rested Gary Blaylock ready to hurl at Minneapolis. Blaylock beat the Millers on a three-hitter Saturday. Minneapolis, however, was ex pected to use its workhorse, Al Worthington, who has won twice in the series' but pitched a full game Sunday. Ziegler To Stay0 As Bevo Manager foruand (U.R) Joe Zieg ler will guide the Portland Bea vers baseball club through an other season next year. . President Clay Brown of the club said last night that Ziegler had inked a contract as Beaver general manager just before tak ing off by plane for the world series in New York. "Directors of the club are verv pleased that Joe will be with us again," Brown said. Ziegler was namerl front nf- fice boss of the Beavers shortly after the team was purchased from the George Norgan inter ests in a community effort last fall. He came here from Buffalo where he was general manager of that city's entry in the Inter national league. Golf Putting Contest Decides Dish Washer Memphis, Tenn. U.R It was the age-old battle of wits over who should wash dishes. . College student Martin Lifer of Greenwood, Miss., was prac ticing putting a golf ball on his living room floor when his wife," Gerlene, " said he , should wash dishes. Martin, who classes himself as a pretty fair golfer, challenged Gerlene to a putting contest to see who would wash.' Losing the first contest, Mar tin made a second bet for stack ing. He stacked, too." Morris' Knete Recovering Eugene aUR) Jack Morris," speedy sophomore fullback from Medford, appeared well on the way to recovery today from a knee injuryuffered in the last quarter of the Oregon-Southern . California football game last Friday night. Morris took part in dummy drills and booted several long punts in practice yesterday. But Casanova, who wants Morris in shape for Washington Saturday night, kept him out of a lengthy contact session. ' Players Request Salary Boost New York (U.R) Baseball Commissioner Ford C. Frick is studying a group of proposals made by major-league players, through their team representa tives including a plea for a boost in the minimum salary from $6, 000 to $7,200.
