drastic Penalities Leave Four Teams On Coast Eligible By SCOTT BAILLIE United Presi Sportt Writer San Francisco TP Football In the Pacific Coast conference won't just be "so-so" this sea son; it will be "so what?" Drastic penalties whffch have the PCC badly divided plus the "no repeat" rule leave only four teams of the nine-member loop eligible to fight for the annual privilege of getting belted in the Rose Bowl. These are Ore g o n, California, Washington State and Stanford and this is not necessarily the expected or der of finish. WSC Rated Stronger This Year Pullman, Wash. Ofl Coach Jim Sutherland's Washington State football team , will be stronger than his 1Q56 club, but the canny Scot thinks that his "youth movement" is still a year away from the jackpot. He lost only four regulars from last year's sophomore-laden team which won three, lost six and tied one. Now more sophomores are moving up and some of them already are as sured of starting berths. WSC has the nation's top pass ing attack last year but it couldn't score enough points to offset the Cougars sieve-like de fense. The running pme suf fered from lack of backfield speed. The word hereabouts is that reinforcements have ar rived. Attack Built Around Passers Sutherland's T-attack is built around ace passers Bob New man and Bunny Aldrich. Speed ster sophs Don Maw and Carl Ketchie are running ahead of veteran Dave Jones for the left half spot while another top sophomore prospect, Leroy Rath appears set at right half. Chuck Morrell, who as a halfback was fourth leading ground gainer in the Pacific Coast conference, now is running behind veteran Ed Stevens at fullback. Game Won By Parsons Parsons Motors beat Crater Make Motors 7-2 last night as part of a three game series main ly through the efforts of Pitcher Vern Collins. During the seven-inning game at Memorial Field Collins stuck out 10 throwing a variety of pitches which included rise and drop balls. Parsons got off to a slow start but piled up runs In the last three innings with seven runs off three hits. Crater led off with two runs in the second inning but failed to make any hits or score further. Crater Pitcher Ron Weather ford hurled his best for Crater Motors, striking out 14 mainly through is curve ball, but failed to pull his team into the winning margin. Another game in the series will be played at Memorial Field at Camp White starting at 7:30 p.m. today. NO INCREASE IN PRICE Tastes so rich..

DISTRIBUTED BY: NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CO, EENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 86 PROOf Oregon State, which last Jan uary became the 10th PCC out fit to lose to a Big 10 team in 11 years of Rose Bowl futility, can't return because of the re peater rule. Southern Califor nia, UCLA and Washington re main blacklisted as a result of excessive aid to their gridders-. Idaho does not qualify because of its sketchy PCC schedule. ' The split T rage has taken hold like the raccoon coat and in each case has been installed by a new, young coach; Don Clark at USC, Jim Owens at Washington, Pete Elliott at Cali fornia plus Bob Titchinal at in dependent San Jose State. The coast shapes up some thing like this, with two weeks still to go of practice and plenty of changes on hand: Oregon Smells Roses Oregon: The Ducks have the speed and experience which might be enough to beat the three other qualifying teams and zoom Len Casanova's waddlers into the Pasadena game for the first time since the Black Sox scandal. California: The Bears are launching a new deal under El liott who ha3 16 lettermen to work with. Joe Kapp, last year's sophomore whiz at quarterback, seems made to order for split T operation. Washington State: Coach Jim Sutherland now has backfield power matching the fine passing of Bob Newman and Bunny Al drich but the Cougars are rated too inexperienced to go very far. Stanford: Coach Chuck Tay lor claims the Indians may be an improvement over last year's team, even with quarterback John Brodie gone. But Taylor won't talk about bowl possibili ties. His team was considered a shoo-in last season then lost four straight. Beavers Aim for PCC Crown Now for the ineligibles: Oregon State: The Beavers might win the actual PCC crown for the second straight year. Joe Francis has returned from Honolulu to man the tail back spot but may have to pass a lot more to make up for lost runners. Southern California: Quarter back Jim Conroy could give Clark the right kind of speed so that the split T whirrs nicely. Clark says he is ready to settle for a 5-5 record. UCLA: Silent Red Sanders is busy tinkering, putting men in positions they never played be fore. He has tailback Kirk Wil son, the nation's top punter, and is an expert at preparing explo sive mixtures despite crippling penalties. Washington: Owens has good play callers in Bobb Dunn and Al Ferguson. The latter makes the Huskies roll but he is brittle. Idaho: Coach Skip Stahley has nine starting seniors and a club deep, in experience and the celler. ' COP and San Jose figure to be the class of the independents. Tiger coach Jack (Moose) Myers thinks Norm Bass,-brother of fleet Richard Bass, has a fine future. Titchenal, rebuilding at San Jose State, feels his team may surprise a few of the boys before basketball time. 5135 $80 t45Qt. Pt. Serve HUDDJL i r "'i tm. m. i 1 s illll I IffiHH RHitK....

Reasons for the hopes are 16 lettermen who have had con siderable experience, added all around weight and apparent strong desire on the part of the squad. Only three regulars from last year's club were graduated. The others are back. Last year's team was light and inexperienced. It had hard luck, suffering a number of in juries and mishaps. These same boys are back. They are older, heavier- and want to vindicate the 1956 record. Coach Jack Woodward believes his squad is much improved. He says that, if it develops more aggressive ness and toughness to go along with its high morale, it can be a title contender.

Co-Captain Daugherty, Wallace, Kidwell and Haggard have won two letters apiece. Daugherty, a senior, may be switched to end. Wallace was all-league fullback last season. Haggard was regular at guard until hurt. Kidwell had had a 1956 tackle spot until injured. Regular Duty Zwan and Rinn at tackles saw regular duty in 1956 while Health alternated at quarter back and Frazier played at cen ter with both seeing consider able service. Campbell played a lot at guard. Among top candidates out for the second time are Jack Hoff buhr, guard; halfback; Bob Tay lor, center, and Bill Dillree and Don Korth ends.
