New York (U.R) For those
who like dart meat, crow may
be an acceptable substitute for
the Thanksgiving turkey. And
since a fellow can't crow unless
he comes up with a solid slate of
winners, he might as well eat
crow instead. Anyway how
about these little tidbits to whet
the appetite?

Russia is expected to show
general improvement in virtu
ally every sport but its main
strength probably will lie in the
gymnastic events and in the
women's track and field. The
Russians won two team medals

total of 23 in 1952. The 1952

(U.R) The old grad, flushed with
excitement, said he hadn't
missed a home game since 1919
j and as darkness enveloped the
huge bowl, declared:
"This is the greatest team I've
ever seen up here. That spirit.
Man, did you ever see a team
that wanted to win more."
The tall, bald man on the
sidelines wasn't ready to classi
fy it as "the greatest" but he said
"they even got me stirred up
with all that spirit."

In a game that had been
marked up as a "pick 'em" af

INDIANS HURT
Stanford, Calif. (U.R) The
Stanford Indians should be in
pretty good shape for Saturday's
"Big Game" against the Uni
versity of California but if
they had to play today. Coach
Chuck Taylor would be in a
bad way.
Halfback Doug Dick has a
sprained ankle; center Bob Long
has a hip pointer: tackle John
Kidd has a knee strain, and full
back Lou Valli has a bad shoul
der. But all four should be back
in action Saturday.
BEARS INCENTIVE
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The
University of California Bears
never need any incentive for
their annual clash with Stan
ford in the "Big Game," but
they'll have some this Satur
day.
They'll be out to win a final
game for Coach Lynn Waldorf,
who announced his retirement
Tuesday night after 10 years of
leading the Bears in gridiron
battle.
POST DEFENSE
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) The
University of Washington
Huskies put the emphasis on
pass defense Tuesday as Coach
Darrell Royal prepared for
Saturday's battle with the
Washington State Cougars.
SUTHERLAND BEAMS
Pullman, Wash. (U.R) Coach
Jim Sutherland is still beaming
over Washington State's victory
over the University of Cali
fornia and he would like to
see the same kind of results
against Washington Saturday.
He hopes the Cougar passing
game will be able to compete
with the fine running game of
the Huskies, but he warned his
team that Washington proved
against Stanford that it has come
up with the passes when they
are needed.
