fJo Bowl At Grid By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (IP) Oregon appears to be loaded this season according to no less an author ity than Len Harris who is the Ducks' athletic director. "We expect a fine team this year," Harris said Monday at the initial meeting of the North ern Football Writers association. "We have the greatest array of backs in the school's history and our first line is bigger than it has been in some years." Harris also said that Coach Len Casanova shared the gener al enthusiasm but then grew chary when asked if the school expected to crash the Rose Bowl for the first time in 37 years. "We're playing the games one at a time," Harris said. "I don't Snead To Keep Playing Another Five Years Dallas Sam Snead, the West Virginia golfing stylist who pocketed $8,000 Monday for winning the Dallas Open golf tournament by 10 strokes, said he planned to "go on winning on tournament a year until I'm 50 and then I'm going to quit." That means that the touring pros are going to have to con tend with Slammin' Sammy at least five more years. Because, by his count, he's just 45 al though the records are a bit vague and are at variance on that point. The lop-sided triumph in the $40,000 Dallas Open "was the largest on the PGA tour since Georgia Says No Mixed Seating Atlanta m The stands "will be segregated" when the Univer sity of Georgia football team meets Navy at Norfolk, Va., next month, according to a statement from the Georgia board of re gents. Board Chairman Robert O. Arnold said Monday all tickets to the game have been sold "un der the laws" of Virginia, and no mixed seating will be allowed. A spokesman at the U.S. Naval Academy said, however, there is a clause in all of Navy's contracts with southern colleges calling for "freedom of ingress and non-segregation of seating for all spectators seeking admis sion."

We have good speed in the backfield, though, with such veterans as Jack Mor ris, Leroy Phelps and Jim Shan ley. Jack Crabtree at quarter back is a better passer than Tom Crabtree was last year." The Ducks are one of the four teams left in the Pacific Coast conference eligible to go to Pas adena next January. The other three are Stanford, California and Washington State. Chuck Taylor, the Indian's coach who makes a business of sounding optimistic, voiced his customary expectation of a hap py season. Stanford May 'Surprise' "We're impressed by the atti tude of the boys and they may surprise a lot of people," Taylor Gene Littler won the Tourna ment of Champions by a 13 stroke margin two years ago and it was the only official title won by Snead this season although he's finished well enough in the tournaments he's entered to run his earnings to more than $28,000. Snead said he just "tried to keep from making any double bogeys as he shot a final-round 36-31-68 Monday to finish 10 strokes in front of Billy Maxwell of Odessa, Tex., Bob Inman of Detroit,' and Cary Midlecoff pf Hollywood Beach, Fla., who pocketed $3,066.66 each with their 10-under-par 274s. Al Besselink, the happy-go-lucky pro from Grossingers, N. Y., finished in fifth place at 275 and won $1,800, while Fred Hawkins of El Paso, Tex.; earned $1,600 for a 276 finish and Ken Venturi of San Francisco, Calif., $1,400 for a 277. , Three players Art Wall of Pocono Manor, Pa., Dow Finster- wald of Tequesta, Fla., and Paul Harney of Worcester, Mass. were bunched at 279 and won $1,100 each. It was the 63rd straight tournament In which Fmsterwald had been in the money. PGA Gives Out Tourney Edict Dallas (IP) The Professional Golfers Assn. has handed down an edict to the 24 major golf tournaments which in effect tells them to turn everything but the financial risk over to the PGA. The PGA Tournament Com mittee Monday gave the tourna ment sponsors an ultimatum to fork over the entire entry fee money or lose PGA sanction. The PGA said it would stage the tourneys with sponsors lim ited ' to providing money for purses and the playing course. The committee said it would run the tournament.

"We're in better shape than we have been in several years and think we have a good group of players. Taylor, however, also covered up when quizzed about his chances of going to the Rose Bowl. "Seeing as how four teams are qualified, I'd say we have a 25 per cent chance," Taylor countered. Pete Elliott, the new 30-year old coach at California, puts things this way: "Our last scrim mage before the Southern Meth odist game was not indicative of a great ball club." Elliott said his team has to improve as the season goes along. Coach Jack Myers said that College of .the Pacific's line might be a good one off the en couraging aspect of a tough bat tle for positions at guard and tackle.. San Jose Speedy Jack Larscheid and Bob Coro nado, the latter a former flankr er, will be shifted over to fill the big hole at left halfback opened by the latest injury to Dick Bass. The great runner sustained a broken leg on Sat urday and is presumably out for the season. A wrenched knee sidelined him after four games last year. Bob Titchenal, San Jose State's new boss, tabbed his team as better in depth than last spring thanks to a host of new arrivals. "We have speed but lack ex perience," Titchenal warned. The writers elected Floyd (Bucky) Walters of ' the San Francisco News president of the group and Walt Gamage of the Palo Alto Times vice-president. Army-Tulane Site Shifted New Orleans (IP) Louisiana Congressman F. Edward Hebert today criticized a state segrega tion law and several organiza tions which forced transfer nf the Nov. 16 Army-Tulane foot ball game from New Orleans to West Point. The U.S. Military Academy and Tulane in a joint statement Monday announced the game will be played at West Point instead of in the Sugar Bowl here because of a Louisiana segregation law. The 1956 law bans interracial athletic events and forbids integrated seating. Lt. Gen. Garrison H. David son, academy superintendent, and Dr. Fred Cole, acting presi dent of Tulane agreed on the change in site. Hebert accused the Depart ment of the Army of giving in to "vicious propaganda of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People." Tulane was blamed, too. The university "compromised the is sue" by agreeing to transfer the game to West Point, the New Orleans Democrat said. "Tulane should have stood firm on the principle and ful fillment of the contract signed by the Army," he said. The defense put up by Tulane and West Point was that a fresh study of Louisiana's segregation laws revealed that the segre gated seating arrangement in the Sugar Bowl would prevail in the section of seats sold by West Point. Tulane announced it will refund money for indi vidual tickets, and season tickets after Oct. 1.' Rep. James Fulton (R-Pa.) on Sept. 4 made the first public outcray against Army playing in New Orleans. He asked Presi dent Eisenhower to forbid the game to be played in New Or leans because Louisiana segre gates whites and Negroes.

September 17, 19S7 Ducks Boast Swift Backfield This Year; Lack Line Depth By LARRY SHAW United Press Sports Writer . Eugene, Ore. (IP) Oregon's Ducks, sporting what Coach Len Casanova terms as their "best backfield in 10 yearst" expect to cause plenty of trouble in this year's bob-tailed Pacific Coast conference race. Casanova is optimistic and there are quite a few reasons why. For one, he has a fleet corps of halfbacks headed by Jim Shanley who has rolled up 1,164 yards in PCC campaigns. The rest of the backfield also is fairly well manned with veter ans. Of course, there also has to be a little uncertainty here and there. "We're strong at every spot with the exception of depth at tackle and guard," is the way grey-haired Cas puts it. Backfield Set The only questionable spot in the backfield is at quarterback where Jack Crabtree, the Ducks reserve strategist for two years, has stepped into the job full time. Cas says that Jack has progressed Very well in running the split-T attack and only needs more -experience in calling the signals. Sophomores Dave Grosz and Sandy Frazler are backing him up. Along with Shanley at the halfback spot is Leroy Phelps, another veteran, with Len Read and Charlie Tourville on deck. Jack Morris, who weighs 188 but can do the 100 under 10 sec onds, is another swiftie who returns to fullback. Up front there are lettermen J. C; Wheeler and Ron Stover as the number one ends. Four sophomores and two non-letter- men also are battling for the jobs. Tackle, Guard Lack Depths Jerry Kershner and Jim Lin den, a brace of two year veter ans, man the tackle positions but behind them comes the kid brigade sophomores John Wil- lener and Tom Keele plus trans fers Stewart White and Darrell Ashbacker. Harry Mondale, who packs his 198 pounds into a 5-6 frame, is back to anchor the right guard spot. He held the fort for 400 minutes there last season. Left guard seems to be a toss- up between Will Reeve, an erst while fullback, and Bob Grott kau. Center is in the powerful hands of 'Norm Chapman, who has won two letters at the posi tion. He has able assistance from best value ever... Studebaker GQT8MAN Lowest priced of all Enjoy its Studebaker-Packard V CORPORATION 1 34 So. Bob Peterson and Vern Scott. Casanova includes his Ducks among the six teams which he thinks may win the PCC title. "And any one of them could squeeze in with any breaks at all," Cas adds. The Schedule: Sept. 21 at Idaho.
