Oregon State Goes Against Vandal Crew By NEAL CORBETT San Francisco (U.R) Coach Tommy Prothro rolls his Oregon State "Rose Bowl Express" into Idaho Saturday and if the record means anything, it shouldn't be much more than a whistle stop. But Coach Skip Stahley and his Idaho Vandals have high hopes of offering more than a passing wave to the fire-balling Beavers. No team in the Pacific Coast conference can claim a better record than Oregon State, with five wins and one loss and that includes UCLA, Southern Cali- Revenge Win Objective Of Linfield Linfield College, McMinnville, Ore. With prospects of clos ing out the current football schedule with an impressive 6-1-2 record and a chance to avenge a '19-15 defeat at the hands of the same SOC team, the Linfield Wildcats meet the Southern Ore gon College of Education Red Raiders Saturday night on Max well Field at McMinnville. Three Wildcat griddcrs will wind up their college play in the Raider tilt: tackle Dick Hol liday, halfback Vern Marshall, and center Les Hershey. All have aided the 'Cat cause con siderably this year in their us ual starting capacities. Linfield mentor Paul Durham feels that once again the Raid er crew could give his team a surprising battle. According to the Wildcat coach both teams have basically the same rosters as last year and that it will be mainly a matter of which team has improved the most. To combat the Raider threat Durham will rely mainly on the effective rushing of his line led by guard Howard Morris, and ends Howard Glenn and Jerry Beier. Linebackers Vic Fox, Sel Spray and Cliff Allen will aid in halting any ground advance ments by the Red Raiders. For the 'Cat offense., quarter back Ron Parrish will carry most of the Linfield hopes. The Prineville junior is currently among the top 10 nationally in passing and total offense. Shar ing the ballcarrying roles will be halfbacks Bob Flood and Dwight Umbarger, and fullbacks Sel and Dick Spray. Sports Broadcasts KYJC Friday. 8 p.m.. Med-ford-Gresham high football.

Joey Giardello Defets Cotton Milwaukee (U.R) Joey Giar dello relaxed his fists and began gazing towards a shot at the mid dleweight title after his unani mous 10 -round victory over Charlie Cotton Thursday night. The Philadelphian had to con tend with Cotton's turtle-like de fense for most of the fight, and consequently was unable to pile up an advantage until the final three rounds. America's highest Ground Ob server Corps post is at 14,110 feet atop Pikes Peak in Colo rado. ALL 3 fornia and Washington, who were barred from the Tourna ment of Roses by conference rules. The Idaho team has a 0-3 con ference record and is ineligible for the Rose Bowl because of its schedule, but the Vandals riding on a three game winning streak, includina victories over Utah, San Jose State and Utah State. At any rate, it will be Oregon State's tough single wing against Idaho's pretty fair passing attack Saturday and anything could happen. One Infersectional UCLA, the only team able to match Oregon State's conference record, will have to fall behind if the Beavers win. The Bruins tackle the Jayhawkers of Kan sas in an intersectional game, and they'll be without the serv ices of first string tailback Edi son Griffin who injured a knee in practice Thursday. The Trojans of USC, sporting a 4-1 record, will try to better that against the University of Oregon Ducks, who have won two and lost three in conference if the Ducks can come up with the running game they flashed against California, they may be a match for C. R. Roberts and crew. The Stanford Indians, who still have a mathematical chance of making the trip to Pasadena, will have to learn to cope with single digits before they can venture into calculus. They've lost two straight games by one point and if they pull the same trick against Washington, even the faint smell of roses will be gone. California and Washington State meet in the battle of the apparent "have-nots." They each carry a record of one victory and four defeats and are just mark ing time until "next year." Big Loop Heads Scan Draft List New York (U.R) Major league executives scanned the official 1956 draft list today in hopes of grabbing a star for a "song." In an era when S60.000 bonuses are paid to untried high school kids the big league can obtain a Triple-A star for a mere SIO.OOO. It looks mighty inviting but the history of the draft shows that few gambles pay off. This year's list, released by Commissioner Ford Frick, con tains such draftable "names" as Chet Nichols, Frank Leja, Satchel Paige, Larry Jansen and Harry Byrd each of whom rated a $75,000 or more price tag several years ago. This year's draft is scheduled for Dec. 3 so the majors have more than two weeks to study the "list of bargains." The price is S15.000 in the open classifi cation. 510,000 for Triple-A plav- "ers, 57,500 in Double-A and so on down to 52,000 for a Class D player. The Chicago Cubs will pick first this year. Bill Loes Found Innocent In Paternity Suit Newark, N.J. (U.R) Balti more Oriole pitcher Billy Loes was found innocent Thursday night of paternity charges brought by a waitress who is serving a prison sentence for attempted robbery. Loes and Suzanne Fulinello, 24, were the only witnesses in the civil suit trial, which was instituted by the city of Newark because the child is a public charge unless its father Is found. Miss Fulinello. who has since borne another child, was brought from the reformatory for the trial. She said Loes had fathered her three-year-old daughter in a Miami hotel in 1952 when Loes was with the Brooklyn Dodgers at their spring training camp. OF US!
