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.

state title games with Grant

titles and a co-title; Central
Catholic two titles, Grants Pass
a title and a co-title; Medford

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

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. Action is also slated with
Illinois Valley, Phoenix and
Glendale before the conference
opener here with Jacksonville
on January 6.

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.
