MAIL TRIBUNE each was picked for the first team by 81 per cent of the voters. Two of last season's All-Americas failed to make it this year. Jim Swink of Texas Christian, whose play did not measure up to the spectacular quality of 1955, was chosen on the second team. John Arnett of Southern California,, restricted to playing five games because of Pacific Coast conference disciplinary ac tion against his school, was named to the third team. There was only one close race in this year's voting. That was for the third and fourth back field positions, where Hornung and Brown polled a slightly higher vote than John Brodie of Stanford. Parker, at 250 pounds, anchors Navy Picked Over Army , Philadelphia U.R) Phila delphia dusted off its welcome mat today for Army and Navy, now deploying in force for their annual football classic of rancor in this city of brotherly love Saturday.

Roberts of Southern California and Eamee Dur den of Oregon State among the first 10 backs- Olympic -Ramblings By BILL BOWERMAN U of O Track Coach Melbourne, Australia (with Track and Field News Olympic Tour) It is possible that some of the people in Oregon had the same feeling I did recently when the report came to us that Jim Bailey had placed third in a mile. My immediate reaction was: "Either Jim is hurt or he was instructed to run with Chat away." (He beat Chataway but placed third. One cannot gey Into Olympic Village without a pass, so on arriving in Melbourne I called first the U. S. team and could make contact with no one like Bill Dellinger or the coaches. So I called Jim Bailey. He was coming to town, so we met. Jim looked real good. Said he had a sore foot that bothered him some when he lost his race. (The aforementioned one.) But I'm sure Jim has been hurt much deeper than his foot. Inter-City Rivalry Those who know Jim well In Oregon know him as a great athlete, good student, happy person and a fierce competitor. We should also try to remember that he came from Sydney, Aus tralia, a city that like Melbourne is lierceiy competitive ana proud of its accomplishments and gladiators. Three years ago, the Melbournites knew Jim as a happy-go-lucky fair runner from Sydney. They glowed in ternally in the Hellenic satis faction of having -a John Landy for whom they had breached the walls of Melbourne. When John Landy went to Los Angeles, he went with the good knowledge of these people he would be victorious and bring further glory to the Olympo- phites of Melbourne. It came as no small shock that John came home not bearing his shield, but on it, and had the further humiliation of having that happy warrior, Jim Bailey, spank his bottom, literally and figuratively. There was a great moan made, much gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair, but nothing could be done. Well. Jim came home, the hero of Sydney. But, when he came to Melbourne and ran against Melbournites. he was the man who had "slain their hero." He had as much popularity as the fellow who walked into the kindergarten, having Just shot cock robin. To the Melbournites, he was no longer happy-go-lucky J i m Bailey from Australia. He was the villain who had busted their bubble. They hoped that Merv Lincoln might be a latter - day Achilles to Sydney's Hector. Weil, if Jim was a Hector, Lin coln was no Achilles, for in de feating him, Jim patted him on the backsides, too, and the walls came tumbling down. The Mel bournes stood and payed their respects to the man from Syd ney by booing him. This was not Australian against Australian. It was Melbourne against Sj-dney Cleveland against Boston and Jim was getting the treat ment. My conversations with sever al people leads me to believe that Jim has continued to get a "Los Angeles press to an Oregon team." They have hurt Jim deeply. Truly the spirit of old Olympia is being served. It is city against city. Don't be surprised if this mass hydrophobia bears Jim to the ground and he does nothing. , NAME TITCHENAL San Jose, Calif.

Y. gets off a toss in the Olympic Games discus event at Melbourne with a 184-foot, lOVi inches Olympic record for his gold medal. Second place went to world J record holder, Fortune Gordien. Third to Des Koch, giv l ing U. S. clean sweep in event Bruins May Still Prove Hoop Threat This is one of a series on the prospects of West Coast Bas ketball teams for In 1956-57 season. By JACK HEEGER Los Angeles U.R) Coach Johnny Wooden of UCLA has lost the nucleus of the team which won the Pacific Coast con ference basketball crown last year but he figures the'Bruins still can be a threat if the sophomores come through. Long gone are such stars as Willie Naulis, Morris Taft and Allen Herring, a trio which ac counted for 1,350 of the 2,200 total points scored by UCLA last season. All of which means that Wooden has to ' depend greatly on his sophs plus seven tested lettermen who are re turning. The veterans are led by for ward Dick Banton, whose speed is expected to work well in Wooden's fast breaking attack. Banton, a guard, stands 6 feet, 1 inch. The Veserans Dick is a senior as are Bill Eblen, 6-4 forward and Nolan Johnson, a 6-6 center. The rest of the returnees include Conrad Burke, now a center who started with Banton at forward last year, forward Jim Halstren, 6-4, who gave a lot of help in re serve, Art Hutchins, a 5-11 guard and Ben Rogers, 6-6 center who had trouble with his grades last season. Wooden also is well stocked with promising freshmen. One budding star is Walt Torrance, a guard from Sacramnto who stands 6-2 and scored 169 points last year in eight contests. Oft that performance he rates as one of the best prospects to check in at Westwood. Promising Youngsters Other frosh and junior col lege transfers who figure prom inently in Wooden's plans are Bob Archer, 6-5 forward from San Marino, Roland Underbill, a 6-4 foward from Glendale and Fred Cwbtree, a 6-5 foot guard from West Covina. And don't overlook Rafer Johnson, America's great deca thlon champion, who is expected to join the squad after the Olym pics. Johnson showed up well as a great rebounder when he played frosh ball two years ago. UCLA has won six champion ships during Wooden's eight year tenure and rolled up a record of 162 victories and 62 defeats. With the big three of Naulls, Taft and Herring gone, the Bruins don't look on paper to be conference favorites again. But Wooden always did have a knack of getting the best out of his material.

Back to fight for their start ing berths will be guards Bill Machamer and Dick Brown, and forward Ralph Harms. Macha mer was the top scorer among Northwest conference back courtmen last season before an elbow injury reduced his scor ing punch. Although he may see more action as a forward this year, the Madras sharpshooter will again be counted on to sup ply a big share of the 'Cat scor ing along with Harms, a good pointmaker and one of the team's leading rebounders. Kofford Injured Others sure to figure promin ently in the Wildcat's bid for conference title honors are Russ Kofford, a frequent starter last year, but currently hampered by a broken wrist; Ron Van Do lah and Larry Hermo, both re serves on last season's squad. The wind-up of the football schedule has. added Vern Mar shall and Bill Hughey to the roster and both are expected to see considerable action during the Linfield season. Marshall is a one year letterman, while Hughey was the scoring ace for last year's junior varsity club. Helser also named sophomore Ken Traten, and freshmen Caryll Goetze and Jack Riley as possible varsity players. Goetze, a 6-7 Hillsboro product, is the tallest man on the squad, and Riley, an all-city pick from Grant high of Portland last year, is the shortest at 5-6. Bob Colins, Linfield reserve guard for thepast three seasons, has been tabbed as the coach of the Wildkittens this year. Ray Coleman, Martin Clogston Skeet Defenders Martin, Clogston and Ray Cole man are scheduled to defend their championships Sunday, Dec. 2. when Medford Gun club holds its annual club skeet tourn ament.
