Proposed Super Football
Conference Would Include
Southern California; UCLA
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) A
new "super" football conference,
including eight of the greatest
collegiate gridiron powers in the
nation, is under consideration
today with a target date for for
mation around 1960.
The conference, the United
Press learned exclusively, would
include such great teams as
Notre Dame, Army, Navy, Pitt,
Oklahoma, the new Air Force
Academy in Colorado and UCLA
and Southern California from
the West Coast.
The conference has been pro
posed by representatives of East
ern schools to take the place of
past opponents who now are tied
up in round-robin schedules in
the Ivy League, the Big Ten and
the Pacific Coast conference.
Approached on Conference
Col. Robert V. Whitlow, ath
letic director at the U.S. Air
Force Academy, said he had
been approached on the propos
ed conference but did not re
veal who approached him.
"It has been mostly in the na
ture of sounding out so far," said
Col. Whitlow. He said that there
were several factors involved in
whether the Air Force team
would be interested in joining.
lowed with a 45.3 mark.
Carl Taseff of Baltimore led
the league with a 21.3 yard aver
age on punt returns, while Mat
son was at the top in kickoff re
turns with an average run of
38.2 yards.

One of these was the time ele
ment.
"The Air Force Academy
would not be ready for such
competition for several years,'
he said.
At Pittsburgh, Athletic Direc
tor Capt. Tom Hamilton said:
"I can't say yes or no about
joining such an organization at
this time, because nothing is
very concrete. However, we are
keeping an open mind to such
an idea."
Hamilton Receptive
Hamilton admitted he was re
ceptive to the idea of having
Pitt hook up with a football
conference.
"There have been recent dis
cussions in regard to Pitt join
ing various proposed confer
ences," he said. "We've given
a great deal of thought to such
proposals, but we would run
into difficulty with, the time ele
ment." Pitt, like most other schools,
has its schedules filled for the
next three years. Proponents of
the conference, however, do not
plan organization until 1960
or later.
Coach Red Blaik of the Army
was first broached two years
ago.
"But nobody had contacted
authorities at West Point since
that time," he added.
Several of the other schools
deny ever ' having considered
such a conference.
Deny Discussions '
Athletic directors Wilbur
Johns of UCLA and Willis O.
Hunter of USC both denied any
discussions on the proposed
cross-country loop. However, de
spite the denials, there is strong
reason to believe that they have
been contacted. There have been
indications ever since the Pacif
ic Coast conference slapped a
fine on the two schools and ban
ned them from the Rose Bowl
for "under the table" payoffs to'
athletes that they have been
considering withdrawal from the
PCC.
Moose Krause, athletic direc
tor at Notre Dame, said he had
not been contacted. He refused
to comment on whether the Ir
ish would be Interested in such
a league.
But a reliable source said that
Notre Dame, Pitt and Army al
ready had signified their appro
val for the conference if Navy
would approve.
But Navy reportedly has turn
ed thumbs down on the propos
al. -

Morse Renews Debate Challenge;
McKay Campaigns on Ike's Record
By UNITED PRESS
College students, church
groups and televsion audiences
were the prime targets of Ore
gon's political giants yesterday
as the campaign headed into the
home stretch.
Sen. Wayne Morse took his
case to students at Willamette
university, Portland State col
lege, Reed college, a church
meeting at Canby and on tele
vision from Portland last night.
Douglas McKay, former in
terior secretary and Oregon gov
ernor, also has visited Reed col
lege this week and followed up
with an address before the First
Baptist Men's Fellowship dinner
in Portland. Last night he spoke
to an East Multnomah county
Republican women's group at
Gresham.
At Willamette, Morse chal
lenged McKay to debate cam
paign issues at any time or
place. "I have never been able
to get my opponent to debate
the issues with me on a platform
and here in Salem once more,
I challenge him to debate aril
he can select the time and
place," Morse said.
McKay Backs Ike Record
McKay centered his campaign
yesterday on the Eisenhower ad
ministration s record. He told
Jon Arnett,
John Brodie
Lead in PCC
Los Angeles (U.R) Star
passer John Brodie of Stanford
and Southern California's Jon
Arnett today dominated the
weekly individual football sta
tistics released by the Pacific
Coast Conference commissioner's
office.
Brodie assumed the leadership
in both passing and total offense
while Arnett was second in total
offense and leads in rushing and
scoring.
The Stanford quarterback has
completed 72 of 123 passes in
five games for 825 yards and
eight touchdowns. Brodie picked
up an additional 50 yards rush
ing for a total of 875 yards to
Arnett's 632. Bob Newman, of
Washington State, was- third in
total offense with 555 yards.
Arnett, ,the 1955 All Ameri-
kan halfback, gained 508 yards
rushing in his first four games
to top teammate C. R. Roberts,
with 464 and Jack Morris, of
Oregon, with 306. Arnett has
scored 37 points to 36 for Lou
Valli of Stanford and 31 for Don
Long of UCLA.
Both Norm Becker, of Cali
fornia, and Paul Camera, of
Stanford, have been on the re
ceiving end of 22 passes. Beck
er's catches have been for 313
yards to Camera's 290. Kirk
Wilson, of UCLA, boasted the
punting leadership with a '45.8
average of 11 kicks.
Arnett and Roberts besides
gaining individual honors also
sparked the Trojans to both the
rushing and total team offense
lead in the conference. Southern
California has averaged 321
yards a game rushing to 287.2
for Washington. Oregon followed
in rushing with 218 yards.
The undefeated Trojans, al
though weak in the passing de
partment, led in total offense
with an average of 401.8 yards a
game, followed by Washington
State with 387.2 and Stanford
with 346.8.
Washington State led in pass
ing offense with an average of
234 yards, followed by Stan
ford with 213.2 and California
with 160.8.
In total defense, Oregon was
first by allowing its foes 232.6
yards a game to 249.2 for UCLA
and 277.4 for Oregon State.

Record Heights
Chicago U.R State tax col

in all the 48 states during the

Commerce Clearing House, tax

The agency said the average
per capita state tax burden rose
from $72.25 in fiscal 1955 to
$81.60 in fiscal 1956, an in
crease of $9.35.
The 1956 per capita burden
varied from a low of $47 in New
Jersey, where city tax burdens
are high, to a top of $131 in
Washington, which pays for
many services ordinarily paid at
local levels in other states, Com
merce Clearing House said.
Ten states collected an aver
age of more than $100 from
every resident. These states, and
their per capita collection, were:
Washington, $131; Nevada, $130;
Delaware, $127; California,
$118; New Mexico, $117; Louis
iana, $115; Wyoming, $112;
Oklahoma, $106; Michigan,
$105;; and Arizona, $102.
CCH reported that Nevada
registered a 42 per cent increase
in tax collections in fiscal 1956.
Georgia collections were up 25.5
per cent, Utah's up 24.9 per cent,
and Oregon and Maryland both
up 24.8 per cent during the year

Mors Claims Distortion
Morse told his Portland State
college audience that "doctored
photographs and distorted
charges issued by my opposition
show the extent of the panic in
the McKay camp."
He said the Congressional
Quarterly showed he had voted
on 95.7 of all key votes in the
Senate. He also charged that
several senators had been chop
ped from a picture showing him
in an empty Senate chamber.
McKay got a hand in his cam
paign last night from a four
member panel on a Portland
television station that said more
than 90 per cent of Oregon's
newspapers are editorially en
dorsing McKay.
Arthur Crookham, veteran
Portland newsman, said, "Any
time you can get 90 per cent of
the editors and publishers to
support one man as they have
McKay you know that man is
both honest and capable."
Coon Criticized
Sen. Richard Neuberger con
tinued stumping eastern Oregon
in behalf of Morse and other
Democratic party candidates
yesterday and at Burns voiced
strong criticism for Rep. Sam
Coon.
"The incredible voting record
of Congressman Sam Coon on
farm, education, and power de
velopment legislation adds up to
indifference to the needs of East
ern Oregon people," Neuberger
said.
"Apparently Coon likes Ike's
coat-tails but not his foreign
policy," Neuberger added after
charging the Republican con
gressman supported the presi
dent's foreign policy legislation
on only 27 per cent of the votes.
The flying Republican team
of Phil Hitchcock, Ivan Congle
ton and Walter Evans Jr., hit
towns along the Oregon coast
yesterday to plug the election
of Republican candidates. Hitch
cock, the man McKay defeated
in the primary election, told an
audience at Florence Morse is
"insisting on removal of curbs
on inflation that would rob
those on pensions of purchasing
power."
