Cleared of
AAU Charges
Kansas City, Mo. '(U.R) There
is a "pretty good possibility
that ace miler Wes Santee may
be kept under suspension by ef

Amateur Athletic rules, an AAU
spokesman said today.
Santee, suspended Oct. 29,
was cleared of charges he ac
cepted too much expense money
by a 21-7 vote of the Missouri
Valley AAU board of managers
yesterday. But if some individ
ual files an appeal within 10
days, the suspension stays on.
If not, Santee is automatically
cleared. -
Not Personal
The spokesman, Marion Mil
ler, said an appeal, if made,
probably would not be against
Santee "personally" but would
be an effort to get the rules be
fore the national AAU for a
close going over. The appeal, if
made, would be heard at a na
tional AAU- meeting in . Louis
ville, Ky., Dec. 1-4.
Santee s suspension has kept
him from participating in AAU-
sanctioned meets and if appeal

Gets Linfield Honor
Munn Thanks
mi
By CLAIR HEKHUIS
' East Lansing, Mich. (U.R)
Clarence (Biggie) Munn, who di
rected Michigan State to victory
in the 1954 Rose Bowl game, to
day thanked Ohio State and Il
linois for sending- the Spartans
back to the post-season classic a
second time.
Munn, who gave up the coach
ing job to become athletic direc
tor after victory at Pasadena,
Calif., two years ago, sent tele
grams to Coach Woody Hayes
of Ohio State and Coach Ray
Eliot of Illinois following an
nouncement from Big Ten head
quarters in Chicago that Michi
gan State would again represent
the conference in the Rose Bowl.
"Thank, you for your kind as
sist," Munn wired the coaches
who had turned back arch-rival
Michigan to let Michigan State
back into the bowl bid.
Ohio State handed Michigan
a 17-0 setback Saturday to claim
its second straight conference
crown. Illinois had knocked
Michigan from the unbeaten
ranks two weeks earlier.
OSU Eliminated
Big Ten rules prohibit a team
from playing in the Rose Bowl
twice in succession, which el
iminated Ohio State because the
Buckeyes made the trip last New
Year's day. Michigan State got
the bid as the runner-up.
A 24-hour celebration was
touched off on the Michigan
State campus when news of
Ohio State's victory reached East
Lansing.-It reached its peak yes
terday when Kenneth (Tug) Wil
son, the conference commission
er, notified Munn that the Spar
tans were going west.
Coach Duffy Daugherty, who
said he couldn't understand why
people were congratulating him
because 'T didn't play a single
minute all season," hasn't made
any practice plans.
"We will put forth every ef
fort to be worthy and able of
representing the Big Ten,"
Daugherty said. "We'll do our
best to carry on the great rec
ord of the Big Ten teams of the
past."
The Big Ten has lost only one
Rose Bowl game since it started
sending one of its top teams to
Pasadena annually in 1947.
Southwestern
League Formed
: Lubbock, Tex. (U.PJ Ten
West Texas and New Mexico
baseball teams have realigned
into a new Class B league to

The Rams dropped into second

Coach Lynn Waldorf all 250
pounds of him was on the spot
today as he sought to rebuild
California's tattered football em
pire while the wolves howled for
his scalp.
The fat man who brought
order out of chaos at Berkeley
eight years ago concluded one
of the most disasterous seasons
of his career Saturday when
Stanford methodically drubbed
the Bears 19-0. It was Califor
nia's seventh loss in 10 games
and the worst year since 1946
when Frank Wickhorst was
given the gate after losing the
same number of games.
Waldorf took over the follow
ing season and directed Cal into
the Rose Bowl three times.
"It was just a down year for
us," Waldorf said on Saturday
when asked what was ahead for
him. "It is my intention to com
plete my contract as head coach
at California."
His pact expires in June of
1957 but numerous alumni and
students are hollering that it's
time for a change.
In the meantime, UCLA
earned the right to play Michi
gan State in the Rose Bowl by
thumping Southern California
17-7 in a nationally televised
game.
Credell (Incredible) Green
lived up to the name by gaining
258 yards on the ground as Wash
ington pummeled Washington
State 27-7 in their traditional
contest. This topped the mark
of 225 set the week before by
TCU's Jim Swink. Green scored
a brace of touchdowns on runs
of 50 and 18 yards.
Beavers Finish Second
Oregon State, which had
amazed tthe conference with its
great comeback this year, unex
pectedly collapsed before Ore
gon, 28-0.
Despite the disappointing
windup, the Beavers finished
second in the PCC standings
afte.r ending in a lie for last
place in 1954.
80-yard drive. The second quar
ter was scoreless.
In the third quarter, the Colts
tied it up on Bert Rechichar's
31-yard field goal. Then, less
than three minutes later, the
Colts rolled ahead 10-3 when
Alan Ameche bolted over to pay
dirt.
Tank Younger tallied for the
Rams to tie the score at 10-10
following a 65-yard Aam drive
directed by Van Brocklin.
In' the "fourth quarter, the
Colts drove 81 yards in seven
plays with Jim Mutscheller grab
bing Shaw's 22-yard pass in the
end zone. The Colts led 17-10.
Then Jack Ellena recovered
Shaw's fumble on the Colt 16
to set up the tying score. Tank
Younger took a swing pass and
fought his way to the six-incn
line. Ron Waller hit left tackle
for the score and Les Richter
kicked the equalizing, point.

who rallied to tie the Baltimore
Colts. 17-17.
Brown's Cleveland huskies,
rebounding from a 33-17 whip-
ping by the Philadelphia Eagles
last week, retained their one-
game Eastern Division lead by
defeating the Pittsburgh Steal
ers, 41-14. Brown simply re
peated Sunday's Philadelphia
New York result when asked
about Cleveland's chances for
an unprecedented 10th division
title in as many tries.
"Giants 31, Eagles 7,"
Brown said as he pointed - out
his Brownies invade the Polo
Grounds next Sunday. "If we
get a championship this year,
we'll get it on our own. No
one's going to help us."

More Successful
Than Predicted
Portland (U.R) Oregon
and Oregon State both have
completed football seasons far
more successful than predicted
by all the experts at opening
of the 1 1955 campaign.
Oregon State, with practically
the same team which tied for
last place in the Pacific Coast
conference last year, finished in
second place with a 5-2 confer
ence record, best since 1946.
Overall, the Beavers under new
Head Coach Tommy Prothro,
won six and lost three.
Oregon, picked as the PCC
doormat this year, finished in
a tie with Washington for fourth
place with 4-3. For the season,
the Webfoots had a 6-4 record.

Carmine Fiore
Returns To Ring
Against Nocero
New York (U.R) Carmine Fi
ore of Brooklyn, a financially in
dependent ex-welterweight con
tender, returns to the ring to
night after a 13-month lay-off for
a TV 10-rounder with middle
weight Rinzi Nocero of Brooklyn
at St. Nicholas Arena.
Because he had saved his earn
ings from 70 prefessional fights
and invested them wisely, 26-
year-old Fiore was able to take
the long layoff and let his often
cut brows heal properly.
Tonight left-hooker Carmine
resumes his campaign for a shot
at the 147-pound title and he is
favored at 8-5 to beat Nocero. He
is confident there will be no
blood about his eyes tonight, al
though face cuts caused him to
be stopped eight times during his
career.
Stopped In 7ih
In his last bout on Oct. 29,
1954, he was stopped in the sev
enth round by Vince Martinez of
Madison Square Garden because
his right brow was bleeding pro
fusely. Martinez of Patterson, N.
J., is now the fourth-ranking con
tender.
Fiore's 47-18-5 record includes
18 knockouts.
Middleweight Nocero, .24, has
had but 29 fights because an
Army hitch curtailed his activ
ities. However, he is a dangerous
opponent for a fighter who cuts
easily because he's a "club fight
er" who uses head-down bulling
tactics. His 26-3-0 list includes
only eight knockouts.

rang today with joyous celebra
tions of bowl bids, while seven
teams still hopeful of getting in

week's games that will decide
their fate.
Michigan State became the Big
lens Rose Bowl team by re

muffed the berth in losing to
Ohio State, 17-0.
UCLA nailed down the spot as
Pacific Coast conference repre
sentative by drubbing Southern
California, 17-7. The Uclans also
got the PCC title, but the Big
Ten crown went to Ohio State.
That makes the rose carnival
at Pasadena, Calif., the second
major bowl to complete its line
up, since the Orange Bowl al
ready had matched Oklahoma
and Maryland.
Texas Christian became the
Southwest Conference's host
team for the Cotton Bowl by
crushing Rice, 35-0. The Horn

title, but pace-making Texas
A&M is ineligible for the bowl
because it's under conference
probation.
Three To Go
These clinchings leave three
major bowl berths to be filled
the visiting team in the Cotton
Bowl and both teams in the Su

be filled from the following: Au

Pittsburgh, Miami of Ohio and

for the Southeastern Conference
