TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, November b, isas . Beaver's John Wiffe Selected n UP's All-West Coast Team San Francisco UP.) John Vitte of Oregon State was the lone player from Oregon and Oregon Slate football teams to make the 1955 United Press all-coast team. Wilte, a junior, was named at a tackle spot along with Fred Robinson of Washington. Dick James of Oregon made the second-team backfield while Jim Shanley of Oregon and Joe Francis of Oregon State, both sophomores, were picked as third-team backs. By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) Five players from the fine UCLA team that rolled through its Pacific Coast Conference sea son without a defeat today were named on the 1955 United Press All West Coast football squad. The men are backs Bob Dav enport and Sam Brown; guard Hardiman Cureton; end Ronnie Loudd and center Steve Palmer. The other six places were di vided, with two to Southern Cal ifornia; and one each to Stan ford, Washington, Oregon State and College of Pacific. Sample of Bruin Strength It was a good sample of the over-all strength of the Bruins a team that rates as one of the most powerful in the nation and lost only one game all year, to Maryland. On top of the first- team power, the Uclans also placed one man on the second team and one on the third, giv ing seven of their 11 starters all- coast mention. The biggest battle broke out over the center position, where Joe Long of Stanford and Pal mer nearly came out even in the ballots cast by football coaches, scouts and United Press sports writers throughout the West. University of California and Washington State scouts and coaches, after watching both men in action, swung the edge to Palmer. The only repeater from the 1954 team was Davenport of the Bruins. The backfield was very close to being unanimous. The non UCLA men among the ball-packers were Jon Arnett of Southern California and Bill Tarr of Stan ford. Tarr had the closest bat tle against teammate John Brodie. The statistics give a pretty good evaluation of the backfield quartet. Brown led the loop in rushing; Tarr was third. Arnett fifth and Davenport 10th. Brown and Arnett ran 2-3 in the total offense department. Biggest Line in History One of the toughest men to keep off the first team backfield was Art Luppino, University of Arizona junior who played on the second team. Luppino leads the nation in total offense and rushing. But he hasn't played nearly as tough a schedule as that faced by the men from USC, Stanford and UCLA. The line this year is the big gest in history, averaging 213 pounds to the man. The non UCLA men are A. D. Williams of College of Pacific, the only non Pacific Coast conference men to crash the first team; tackle John Witte of Oregon State; guard Or lando Ferrante of USC; and tackle Fred Robinson ofWash-inston. The second string backfield is made up of Brodie, Luppino, Cre- dell Green of Washington and Dick James of Oregon. Others on the second team are Houston, Washington, and Stew art, Stanford, ends; Wiggin, Stan ford, and Nisby, College of Pa cific, tackles, Brown, UCLA, and Mosich, Stanford, guards; and Long, Stanford, center. Third team selections are Pow ell, San Jose State, and Carmi chael, California, ends; Moreno, UCLA, and Jankins, Arizona Tempe State, tackles; Monlux, Washington, and Hitchcock, Washington State, guards; Wat son, Washington, center; Swear- ington, College of Pacifier Ter esa, San Jose State; Francis, Ore gon State, and Shanley, Oregon, backs.

There have been 12 previous state title games with Grant high of Portland holding five titles and a co-title; Central Catholic two titles, Grants Pass a title and a co-title; Medford one title and The Dalles one title. . Marshfield and South Salem tied for the crown last year. Leading offensive men for Gresham are Joel Crouch, 190 pound fullback and Bob Schlo redt, a passing quarterback. The game will match an ex Oregon grid star against an ex Washington star in the coaching department. Pete Susick, one time Washington halfback, is the Marshfield coach, while Brad Ecklund, all-coast center at Ore gon in 1949, is the Gresham mentor. The weather forecast called for more rain. Game time is 8 p.m. 5 Letterrnen On Chieftain Hoop Squad Rogue River A well-rounded club with stronger defense than that of last season's quintet is the hope of Coach Ray McClain as he drills the Rogue River high Chieftain hoopsters for the Jack son County B League chase. Better balance and better de fense could make up for the loss of two smooth, classy players. Gary Johnson, leading scorer, and Ted Stanfield. second high point maker for the Chieftains last year. Three are five cage lettermen back at Rogue River. They are Bill Weaver, a 6-foot 2-inch cen ter; Gary Phillips, an aggressive guard; Gary Stinchcomb, a sharpshooting guard; Harold Moore, a 6-1 forward, and Loy Towse, who shows much promise at the forward position. All are seniors. Other Prospects Among the non-lettermen Al fred Vanscoter, a 6-3 senior, has been looking good in practice. Richard Twiest played quite a bit last season and may develop into a top player. Billbee Lane is an outstanding offensive play er If the sophomore improves his general game and defense, he'll be a great help to the Chiefs, according to McClain. Rogue River players see their first action on Thursday, Decem ber 1, in the B league jamboree at St. Mary's high in Medford. First full games will be against Eagle Point. The Chiefs go to Eagle Point on December 2 and entertain the Eagles on Decem ber 3.

Lausse Tussles Fullmer Tonight New York (U.R) Slugger Eduardo Lausse of Argentina is favored at 3-1 to register his 30th straight victory tonight over Gene Fullmer of Utah at Madi son Square Garden and move closer to a middleweight title fight. Their TV-radio 10-rounder could be a thriller because Lausse is a terrific puncher who bleeds easily and Fullmer is a good hitter who plunges in. Neither has ever been stopped. Swarthy, broad - shouldered Lausse, 28, is favored because he is ranked fourth among con tenders for the 160-pound crown and because he has knocked out 48 of his 67 opponents for the remarkable kayo average of .716. He belted out 25 of 29 during his current winning streak. .559 Average Fullmer, 23, has lost only two of his 34 fights and registered 19 knockouts for a .559 average. Gene's only two defeats were suffered this year. He was out pointed by Gil Turner but turned the tables in their return match. In his last fight on Sept. 28, he lost a verdict to Bobby Boyd at Chicago. Lausse lost six of his 67 fights and had two draws. But he hasn't been beaten since Kid Gavalan outpointed him on Sept. 13, 1952. Berwick, Pa. (U.R) H.
