Detroit Lions
To Gamble
On O'Brien
Detroit 'U.P.I Backfield
Coach George Wilson of the De
troit Lions is staking his reputa
tion Bi a 270 pound giant from
Shawano, Wis., whom he has
never seen in action.
The player is Charles O'Brien,
whose gridiron achievements in
cluded winning little all Phi
Delta Theta honors in 1955 and
1956 as an end at Valparaiso.
O'Brien's name was a mystery
nto local sportswriters when the
Lions drafted him in the 12th
round at Philadelphia last
month.Q
Wilson sought to clarify mat
ters. Why, we've just drafted
the greatest prospect in history,"
he announced jokingly. "This
boy, Charlie O'Brien, weighs
270 pounds and he's still grow
ing. He's onlyo 21 and stands
fi feet 5."
"Anyone who's that big and
still fast enough to be an of
fensive end definitely rates a
look-see," coach Buddy Parker
said. "Our scouting reports on
him are excellent."
Parker pointed out . that
O'Brien turned down offers
from several large schools to
enroll at" Valparaiso.
If he makes the grade Wilson
will qualify as somewhat of a
prophet. But if he doesn't, Wil-
son's reputations as a sooth
saver will be shot.

During Basketball Campaign
Ashland Southern Oregon
college closed out its regular
1956-57 basketball schedule
with a record of 12 victories and
14 setbacks. The Red Raiders
finished second in Oregon Col
legiate conference play with a
8-8 standing record.
The Raiders are assured of at
least two more games. Since
they will enter the district
NAIA tournament in Portland,
March 4 and 5.
Southern Oregon's record is
better than anyone had predict
ed for them when the season
started. However, this is only
the third time in 27 years that
a Red Raider team fell below
the 50 per cent mark. In 1952,
coach Ted Schopf's club had a
9-18 won-loss record, and coach
Alex Petersen's 1954-55 team
finished with 10-13. Through 27
seasons of basketball the Ash
landers have had 21 winning
seasons, and three tying ones
in compiling a record of 414
wins and 234 defeats.
Three Line-ups
SOC has had a rough road to
hold this year. In addition to
losing several close games, the
Ashlanders have had to use
three different line-ups because
of player scholastic difficulties
and NAIA eligibility rules.

was Norman Oliva. 18-year-old

said the opinion that rjaseDan

"We now specifically limit the

said.
