McMANN REELECTED New York (U.R) Renville H. McMann of New York has been nominated for reelection as pres ident of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association in 1957. THE Tuesday, November 6. 1956 By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco ''U.R) Coach. Len Casanova of Oregon, who swung in effigy two weeks ago, was mighty high again today but in another way. His ball club is starting to jell and the man is happy. The Ducks, with smooth-operating quarterback Tom Crab tree at the controls, belted fav ored California, 28-6, on Satur day to end a four game losing streak. Last year Oregon ended another four game drought by winning five of its last six games and Casanova thinks the worm has turned again. "We got some breaks for a change against California and it was high time," the smiling men tor said. "Are we at the turning point? I kind of think so." Defense Hot If he is right, the resurgence against the Bears couldn't have come at a better time. The old grads are scheduled to storm Hayward stadium for next Sat urday's homecoming game against Washington State. Casanova is doubly satisfied with Oregon's abrupt turn about as the offense looked even hotter against California than it did when the Wcbfoots opened the season by thumping Colorado, 35-0. Mighty Oklahoma had to strain a lot harder to squeeze out its 27-19 victory over the Buffs. Crabtree not only is a drive shaft in the Oregon attack but also a sharp thinker. The bald ing business student specializes in calling running plays from a punt formation on fourth down and usually gets away with it. California was caught with its defenses down twice by this maneuver. Surprises in Store If the club retains it's new form and takes Washington State it will meet a sterner chal lenge in its final games against Southern California and Ore gon State. But Casanova is smil ing. He seems to feel that more surprises are in store. While Casanova's gridders seek to keep the alumni happy on Saturday, three other Pacific Coast Conference games will be in progress. Oregon State and Stanford tangle in a key game which could decide which team goes to the Rose Bowl, while California takes its crushed forc es to Southern California and UCLA invades Washington. On the regional front, Arizona Tempe State, undefeated in sev en starts, roars after victory number eight at the expense of Texas Western. Utah State is at Idaho. San Jose at College of the Pacific and Cal Poly at Fres no State in other leading con tests. Cage Referees Meet Wednesday A meeting of basketball ref erees of the Rogue valley area will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wed nesday. Nov. 7, at the senior high school here. Coaches of high school teams are partic ularly asked to attend. Virgil Swanson, commis sioner of referees, said that the purpose of the session is to iron out a number of ques- Hons and problems before the basketball season gets under way. SHOELESS JOE HIT .400 Cleveland (U.R! Shoeless Joe Jackson is the only rookie ever to hit .400 in the majors. Jackson batted .408 in 1911 but lost the A.L. batting crown to Ty Cobb's .420 mark.

(U.R) Coach Tommy Prothro gave the Oregon State Beavers a light workout Monday, but scheduled full drills the rest of the week in prepara tion for the important game against Stanford Saturday. Defense formations designed to stop the passing of Stanford's quarterback John Brodie re ceived a major share of the Beavers' attention today. The winner of the Stanford game has an excellent chance of repre senting the Pacific Coast confer ence in the Rose Bowl. Eugene, Ore. -W.R) The Uni versity of Oregon team opened full drills today for the Washing ton State game Saturday after taking a partial day off in cele bration of their upset 28-6 vic tory over California. Freshman Coach Bill Ham mer, who scouted Washington State, briefed the Ducks Monday and warned that the Cougar aerial game will be hard to stop. Jack Crabtree, the No. 2 signal caller, returned to the Webfoots' lineup but his knee injury was still bothering him and he prob ably won't see much action against WSC. Schayes Top Hoop Scorer New York U.R) D o 1 p h Schayes of Syracuse has jumped into the lead for scoring honors in the National Basketball As sociation. A veteran of seven campaigns, Schayes has scored 101 points in four games to lead Minneapolis' Clyde Lovelette by four points. George Yardey of Fort Wayne and Richie Regan of Rochester (72 points each) and Jack Twy man of Rochester (70) round out the top five. Cousy, Best Per Game Bob Cousy, Boston's brilliant playmaker, owns the best per game average. He has averaged 31 points in his club's two starts. Paul Arizin and Neil Johnston, both of Philadelphia, have fl point averages. The deadliest shooter during the early stages of the. season has been New York's Carl Eraun. The New York forward has hit on 18 of 32 field goal at tempts for a .563 percentage. Twyman is second with a .512 percentage. Leading the loop in free throw accuracy is Bill Sharman of Boston. The Celtic stalwart has made 20 conversions without a miss. Si Green of Rochester is the standout rookie to date. The The former Duquesne star leads the league in assists with 31 and is also the top freshman scorer with 55 points.
