Etefs Dislike
Grid Rule on
Substitution
By RUSS GREEN
' Uaiied Press Sports Writer
Philadelphia (IP) College
football's rule on substitutions
that of a player not returning to
the game a second time in the
same period was judged just as
unpopular to the officials as it
was to the coaches today.
Two veteran officials a bank
er and the athletic director of a
college shrugged their should
ers at a luncheon of the football
olub of the Philadelphia Sports
Writers association Tuesday and
admitted the rule on reporting
had its drawbacks.
But, like a cop saying "That's
the law" they could only say
"That's the rule."
At least one banker Bill Rey
nolds who gets his share of the
big games said a more ideal
method of sending in substitutes
would be to follow that of
basketball replacements in hav
ing the incoming players report
to a designated "person at the
sideline.
That would be one way to
keep the lists straight, and avoid
the chance of an illegal substitu
tion. The Rule
Under the rule, a player com
ing into the game after the
period has started reports either
to the head linesman or the um
pire depending from which side
of the field his team's bench is
located. If he leaves and comes
back again in the same period
he is sent to the sidelines and his
team draws a 15-yard penalty.
"The officials carry a card
with the numbers 1 to 100,"
Reynolds explained with Ath
letic Director Jim Henry of La-
Salle college nodding affirma
tion. Around In Circles
"When an incoming player re
ports during a period, the of
ficial draws a circle about his
number. Should a player come
back in during the same period,
and there's a circle about his
number out he goes and the
penalty is assessed."
It makes no difference when
the illegal substitution is dis
covered. It draws the penalty,
even if it isn't observed until
three, four or five plays later.
There's the question of who is
responsible the coach or the
official in keeping track of the
numbers. They're still knotted
over that.

Knox's Charges
Said Ridiculous
By GENE BLUDEAU
Chicago (IP) Harvey Knox,
controversial sparkplug in the
football and film career of bis
son, Ronnie Knox, tossed a
long-awaited bombshell and "op
ening salvo" today at the Chi
cago Bears.
The elder Knox, outspokea
manager of Ronnie, a halfback
with the Chicago Bears, charg
ed that the George Halas club
paid his son only $18.75 for
each exhibition, appearance with
the Bears this year.
"This is just the opening salvo
in the battle between Halas and
me," Knox said. "And I intend
to see that my boy gets every
thing that's coming to him.
Amused
Owner Halas was merely
amused by Knox's charge. He
countered that the elder Knox
was "going off half-cocked, and
the whole thing is ridiculous.
"That $18.75 Knox is com
plaining about is his meal
money," Halas said. "Each play
er gets $500 at the end of the
season for his play in exhibition
games."
Steelers Hoping
Jinx Will Work
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press Sports Writer
Can Buddy Parker maintain
his jinx over Paul Brown's
Cleveland Browns?
That's one of the interesting
questions National Football
league fans can mull over before
Parker's Steelers play host to
the Bownies Saturday night at
Pittsburgh.
In six seasons as coach of the
Detroit Lions, Parker compiled
a record of 10 victories, one tie
and one loss in championship,
regular season and exhibition
competition against the Browns.
No other coach has been so suc
cessful against Brown's club.
Browns Favored
The Browns are favored by
3V2 points against the Steelers.
The Giants are six-point
choices to whip the Eagles at
Philadelphia and the Chicago
Bears are 54 point favorites to
defeat the Colts at Baltimore in
the other Saturday night games.
The Giants and Bears ars picked
to win.
In Sunday's action, the Card
inals are seven-point choices to
defeat the Washington Redskins
at Chicago, the Packers are six
point choices against the Lions
at Green Bay and the Los An
geles Rams are favored over the
Forty-Niners by the same mar
gin for their game at San Fran
cisco. The Cardinals, Lions and
Forty-Niners are picked to win.
McLaughlin

Ofifensive drills, aimed at
smoothing the functioning of the
feaek-s, have been the order this
week at McLoughlin Junior High.
hhkk graaers prepped for their
g.r-id opener with the Crater
freshmen.
The fray will be at 3:30 p.m.
at the McLoughlin field.
Coach John Rppri sairl that.
fee feall-handling has not been
as sharp as hoped and that fak
ag seems to have had a mini
mum of effect on the defense.
Passing and pass-blocking has
kad attention. Reed said that
li.no wnrlr imnrpcsivp at timps
has lacked' the consistency of an
up and coming group. He stated
that last Thursday's scrimmage
with Hedrick showed that the
line must improve if the Bull
dogs are to be considered a
threat.
Indefinite
Starting' assignments for Cra
ter are indefinite but Reed
named a probable crew. Ai ends,
for ffease he listed Bob Quin-
ney and Larry Hammack or
Steve Heote, Al Morton or Jerry
Winetrout. Tackles are Rich Con
Holly, Chuck FJolt or Al Minnick
and guards Terry Earl and BUI

Medford Area Footballers
Bolster Southern Oregon
Squad for Linfield Fray
By BOB McKENZIE
Ashland Football fans of the
area will get an opportunity to
see the defending champions of
the Northwest league when Lin
field invades the Southern Ore
gon college campus this Satur
day to do battle with the Red
Raiders.
Coach Al Akins is expecting
one of the toughest games of the
season from Paul Durham's
gridders, and will again be call
ing on the wealth of football
talenf he has found in the Med
ford area. Among the Medford
area athletes on this year's squad
are Chuck Romine, Jerry Dar
land, Buddy Brittsan, Eldon
Francis, Gordon Owsley, Del
mar Brood, Jim McAbee, and
Al Geren.
Romine, an all conference
guard for the Red Raiders last
season, has moved to the tackle
position this fall, and is again
the most outstanding man in
the SOC front wall. Chuck has
consistently been the fifth man
in the opposing teams backfield
and a dependable blocker on
offense.
Darland, back at end for his
second year with the Raiders
broke into the scoring column
against University of British
Columbia Saturday as he grab

OSC Readies
For Big 10
Aggregation
Oregon State College, Corval
lis Oregon State's powerhouse
Beavers, conquerors of Southern
California and Kansas in their
first two starts, take a crack at
Big Ten competition Saturday
against Northwestern at Evans
ton. The Wildcats bowed to Stan
ford, 26 to 6, last week end at
Palo Alto, and the Beavers will
be favored to notch their first
vicjpry over the Western con
ference since Tommy Prothro
began directing OSC fortunes.
The biggest problem facing
Northwestern will be stopping
OSC's balanced line single wing
offense whfch has rolled up 806
yards in two games, 672 of that
coming on the ground.
This blistering attack has ac
counted for eight touchdowns,
while yielding a single six-pointer-
to Kansas. The impressive
thiqg about these figures is that
they have been accumulated
with the first eleven on the
bench most of the time.
Regulars To Be Busy
For the first time in Prothro's
three years at Oregon State has
the first unit been called on as
sparingly as this season. But
scouting reports from the Northwestern-Stanford
game indicate
the regulars will be on the line
more next Saturday.
Ara Parseghian's young Wild
cat team, plagued by penalties
against the Indians, has two fast,
deceptive halfbacks in Bob Mc
Keiver and Will Fowler which
look to bother the Beaver de
fenses. .Two sophomore quarter
backs, bothered by first game
problems, will undoubtedly be
in better form before the home
crowd.
The Beavers had four work
outs slated for this week, with
departure planned for early Fri
day morning by chartered plane
from Corvallis. The team will
stay at the Edgewater-Beach ho
tel in Chicago,, returning to Cor
vallis Sunday morning.
Statistically fullback Nub
Beamer leads the team in rush
ing (205 yards) and total offense
(234) followed by wingback
Earnel Durden and tailback Joe
Francis, who is sporting a nifty
12.4 average per carry rushing.

for 14 and 40 yards. Al Geren,
like Darland, is a former St.
Mary's of Medford football pro
duct, and has been seeing a lot
of action at both guard and
tackle for SOC.
Brittsan Tough
McAbee, the' Talent baseball
whiz, has traded his glove for
a pair of shoulder pads this fall
and is also making the compe
tition rough at the end position.
One of the reasons for the
outstanding performances of
Romine this season has been
Buddy Brittean a sophomore
from Medford. Buddy is one of
the hardest hitting linemen on
the SOC squad this . year and
has been pushing the first string
ers hard for a starting position
either at guard or tackle.
The Raider backfield boasts a
quartet of Medford area pro
ducts this season. George Juve
land, freshman from Crater High
scored his first touchdown in
college football against, UBC on
Saturday as he scampered 31
yards on a punt return. Eldon
Francis and Gordon Owsley,
freshman from Medford high
have been playing a lot on de
fense as both boys have proved
to be excellent pass defenders.
Owsley has intercepted three
passes for the Red Raiders in
the first two games of the sea
son, grabbing one from Moffett
Naval Air Base and two from
UBC.
Brood Bids Strong at SOC
Delmar Brood of Phoenix has
decided to play his football at
SOC afte'r spending last season
lugging the leather for Shasta
JC in California. Brood, who has
yet to make a punt return of
under 2Q yards this season, prov
ed he can also run from scrim
mage, averaging nine yards a
carry against UBC Saturday in a
performance that may gain him
a starting berth for the Linfield
game this Saturday night.
These are only, a few of the
players from the Southern Ore
gon area Coach Al Akins will
be counting on this week end in
an effort to upset the highly
favored Wildcats. Linfield is
picked to repeat as the North
west champion.
It took a firm hold on the fav
orite Vole last Saturday, running
over Lewis and Clark 33 to 6.
Kick off time for the Satur
day fracas will be 8 p.m..
Buff Done! I i
Gets Honor
By FRANK LITSKY
New York HP) He was wor
ried about starting his inexpe
rienced son at quarterback but
the youngster won the game.
He couldn't persuade his wife
to watch the game or even listen
on the radio "because she was
afraid the boy would do some
thing wrong."
He was carried off the field
on the shoulders of his players,
a rare occasion at a college
where football victories are
mighty scarce.
He is Aldo (Buff) Donelli of

game at Columbia. The always
undermanned Lions, with Pop
pa's boy Dick running, passing,
kicking and defending superbly
in a 59-minute iron-man stint,
upset Brown 23-20.
It was noteworthy enough for
a two-teuchdown underdog and
it was poetic justice because 20-year-old
Dick, the Columbia
mascot a dozen years ago, faced
so much pressure.
