toughest Foe
In Huskies
Seattle, Wash. (U.PJ Coach
Johnny Cherberg has decided to
"try some new stuff" to see if
his University of Washington
Huskies can speed up their of
fense for Saturday's game with
Oregon State Beavers.
The coach said there probably
won't be any change in the
starting backfield, with the ex
ception of the quarterback posi
tion. It is still a big question as
to whether Sandy Lederman or
Steve Koake will fill the slot
against the Beavers.
Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) The
Oregon State Beavers can expect
their toughest competition of
the season when they tangle
with the surprising Washington
Huskies Saturday, according to
Coach Tommy Prothro.
He pointed out that the Husk

with UCLA ahd have more depth
than any club the Beavers have
met this fall. Prothro said arm
Injuries would slightly restrict
the activities of sophomore tail
back Joe Francis and end Bob
De Grt.
; Eugene, Ore. (U.R) The
University of Oregon Ducks, who
meet ihe University of Idaho
Vandars this week end, were
warned by Coach Len Casanova
yesterday that they have noth
ing to be cocky about "just be
cause we've won a couple of
games.".
The coach pointed out that
although the Vandals have been
taking it on the chin, they have
had two weeks to prepare for
the Oregon game because of an
open date last week end.

Wilkinson
Is UP Coach
Of The Week
Norman, Okla. (U.R) He
hasn't lost a conference game
since he came here as head coach
nine years ago.
And last Saturday when the
opposition ran up a 14-0 lead and
the long unbeaten record was in
jeopardy, his boys rose up mag
nificiently and scored a crush
ing 56-21 victory.
He's the United Press Coach of
the Week, Charles (Bud) Wilkin
son of Oklahoma's socking
Sooners. He has directed them to
the longest winning streak of
any college in the nation, 24
games, and Oklahoma has gone
49 consecutive conference games
without a loss since he took over
in 1947 after Jim Tatum went
to Maryland. There are only
two ties in that string of 49
games and the last one was
against Colorado, a 21-21 head-
knocker at the opener of - the
1952 season.
Sooners Suddenly Arroused
What suddenly aroused the
Sooners after a lethargic first
period -, in which neither . team
scored and that fateful second
quarter in which Colorado ran
up 14 points, in the first three
minutes?
Wilkinson has a favorite one
word answer to that question
"intensity." He uses it whenever
the Sooners score a triumph
that is a standout.
Wilkinson is proud oi his
team, hopes it can continue its
string of victories indefinitely,
but shies away from any conver
sation about the Orange Bowl
game on New Year's Day. The
Sooners go automatically as con
ference winners if they capture
the Big Seven title.
ON INJURED LIST
Los Angeles (U.R) Veteran
fullback Dan Towler was placed
on the injured reserve list to
day by the Los Angeles Rams of
the National Football league to
make room on the active roster
for Paul (Tank) Younger, who
has recovered from a leg ailment.

For Indians
In Trading
Cleveland (U.R) General
Manager Hank Greenberg today
described the acquisition of slick
fielding Chico Carrasquel and
Jim Busby in exchange for slug
ger Larry Doby as "round one"
in his efforts to strengthen the
Cleveland Indians.
"We don't have anything on
the fire right now but we're go
ing right back to work this
morning," Greenberg said. "We
realized we had to do something
drastic but we felt we had to
make the improvement we did."
The first major trade of the
winter season apparently solved
five-year problems for both the
Indians and Chicago White Sox.
The Indians have been searching
in vain for a first-rate defensive
shortstop since Lou Boudreau
left them in 1950, while the
White Sox have been looking
for a slugger of Doby's caliber
since the same year when Gus
Zernial hit 29 homers for them.
Defensive Shortstop
Carrasquel, a 27-year-old na
tive of Caracas, Venezuela, is
generally regarded as the most
spectacular ' although some
times erratic defensive short:
stop in the majors. Carrasquel
hit only .257 last season but has

Busby, 28, is also a brilliant
fielder but he hit only .239 last
season and has hit only 27 home

He came up originally with the
White Sox in 1950 and was
traded to the Washington Sena

him back in a mid-summer deal
