drastic Penalities
Leave Four Teams
On Coast Eligible

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

two runs in the second inning
but failed to make any hits or
score further.
Crater Pitcher Ron Weather

KENTUCKY BOURBON AT ITS BEST
W?'TY- W i HILL Cd, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. 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.

New Coach Charles Peil, with

The Chieftains had their first
full workout yesterday. Turnout

Holders Give
Phoenix Hope
Phoenix ' Phoenix " high,
which won the 1955 A-2 Rogue
league championship but drop
ped to fourth last season, hopes
for better success this year.
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.
Fourth Year Out
Thirty-two boys checked out
suits last week and about 25
were on hand for drills. The
ranks were expected to swell
this week.
On the squad for the fourth
year are Gary Simmonds, Den
nis James and Fred Faytinger.
Each has won two letters. Co-
Captain Simmonds is a left half,
switched to that spot after play
ing end as a sophomore. James
will alter at quarter and half
back. Faytinger, a right half, was
part-time regular last fall. In
juries kept him out of several
games.
Back for the third year are
Don Wallas, Dale Haggard, Lar
ry Kidwell, Stan Zwam, Jim
Heath, Mike Campbell, Ron
Daugherty, Jack Rinn, and Marv
Frazier. 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. Hoffbuhr,
Stout and Taylor are lettermen
Hoffbuhr was a regular the last
four games last year although
just a freshman. Stout was not
out for the first week of drill
He was in the line-up the last
part of last season at halfback
and may be at quarterback and
half for 1957. Dillroe and Korth
were on the 1955 squad.

Vancouver Mounties won their
lifth ' straight Pacific Coast

night by defeating the Portland

Houtteman pitched his best
game since coming from Balti

three gained a scoring position.
In the second inning, Louis
Marquez singled to left field,
stole second and reached third

had scaled on Aug. 19.
Despite his victory, Perez au
