Newspaper Page Texto df30l"T OSCAR FRALEY Parade SlX New York (IP) On the threat of losing my franchise In the ex perts club, I'm acceding to the demands of practically no one today and naming Fearless Fra ley's All-America football team for 1957. These guys now probably will be ignored by every one else in the nation including my un derworked barber who is an nouncing his tearn next week at the canarsie coiffure conclave. The fact that I have seen abso lutely none of them is to be ig nored. So here they are: Ends: Dick Wallen, UCLA, and Jim Phillips, Auburn. Tackles: Alex Karras, Iowa, nd Lou Michaels, Kentucky. Guards: Roy Hord, Duke, and AI Ecuyer,Notre Dame. Center: Don Stephenson, Geor gia Tech. Backs: John Crow, Texas Ag gies; Clendon Thomas, Okla homa; Walt Kowalczyk, Michi gan State; and Don Clark, Ohio State. games Second Team The second team, just in case you're still with me, includes: nds, Jim Gibbons, Iowa, and Dave Kaiser, Michigan State; tackles, Charley Krueger, Texas Jtggies, and Bob Reifsnyder, Navy; guards, Aurelius Thomas, Ohio State, and Bill Johnson, Tennessee; center, Charley Bru eckman, Pitt; and backs. Bob An derson, Army; Tom Forrestal, Ifavyr Jim Shanley, Oregon, and $im Pace, Michigan. Let it be said right now that, being one of the nation's leading Monday morning coaches, I am completely satisfied with my first team. The line is big, fast add mobile with a 207-pound average while the backs are meaty enough at a 198-pound average to make their own holes If somebody falls down on the job. Phillips and Wallen are not skyscraping ends but get the job done. Phillips is six-two and 205 pounds while Wallen is only six feet and 185 but is a growing lad of a mere 20. Brawny Lads All Karras, the Iowa tackle, Is going to make everybody's team and the Gary giant has good com pany in Michaels, who toted his 235 pounds all the way to Ken tucky from Swoyerville, Pa., a region which is not exactly a stranger to producing good foot ball players. Hord at six-foot-thfee and 220 pounds, makes a good running mate at guard for Ecuyer, the 195-pound Notre Dame dandy, while Stephenson is outstanding among a good crop of centers. The backfield is full of vim and vigor. Crow looks to be the top back of the year and at six- Ricardo Moreno Stops Chestnut Los Angeles OP) Mexico's Ricardo Pajarito Moreno, a re puted murderous puncher, up set the world's second ranking featherweight, New York's Ike Chestnut, Thursday night when he wat awarded a knockout vic tory at th end of the sixth jound of a scheduled 10 round bout in Olympic Auditorium. Moreno, a 10-7 underdog, grilled a partisan crowd of tme 10,000 fans at the Olympic auditorium when he ripped con tinuous left hooks and right grosses into Chestnut's body and head. Chestnut suffered a cut on the left cheekbone In the third round and it grew worse as the light progressed, streaming blood profusely. After a consultation with the ring physician, Dr. Robert Rocke, referee Tommy Hart sig nalled the contest had ended after the bell had rung ending the sixth round. Former SP President Dies After Illness Palo Alto, Calif. (IP) Armand Theodore Mercier, president of fre Southern Pacific company trtween 1941 and 1951, died Thursday after a long illness, je was 76.

BARENTS OF FIFTH CHILD Hollywood (IPl Actress Jeanne Crain gave birth Thursday to a daughter at Queen of Angels hospital. The child was the fifth for the movie star and her hus band, Paul Brinkman. two and 210 pounds is the big gest one of my ball toters. Ko walczyk at 205 can bump heads with most linemen and stay alive while Thomas and Clark, a bit lighter, can move with admirable rapidity. It may be said right here that Anderson is one year away but that's all. He'll make everybody's club next season about the time people stop knocking the team I've picked this year. Old-Timers Trek Back On Saturday By HAL WOOD San Francisco W This is old-timers' week in the West when the old grads trek back to familiar haunts to see their fa vored football teams take on the dreaded "traditional" rival in the annual big game of the season. No matter what else happens, a football coach can remain quite secure in his position if he can beat the important cross town or cross-state rival in this one. These traditional games have had generations of build-up and the spirit that is instilled into the young under-grads by the old-timers shows on the field. Nearly always the games are so close that one bounce of the ball tells the difference. OSC-Oregon Tilt Oldest The oldest game, in point of battles, is the Oregon State vs. Oregon tilt at Eugene. This will be the 61st renewal of a conflict that started 'way back in 1894. In all that time the results have been close as the final total shows: Oregon 29 wins, Oregon State 23 and eight deadlocks. Next oldest is the California Stanford rivalry that dates back to 1892. However, this has been interrupted so many times for various reasons that only 50 foot ball games have been played. From 1906 for nine years the teams played rugby, so this might be considered the 60th contest. In football, , California holds a 22-19 edge with nine ties. But counting rugby the series stands at: Cal 25, Stanford 24, ties 10. Washington and Washington State have been tangling regu larly with time out for wars since 1900. They have played each other 49 times, with the Huskies, from a much more pop ulous area, holding a 29-14 edge. There have been six deadlocks. The other "traditional" is comparatively new but it al ready has taken on the hue and cry that goes with older "big games." It's Southern California vs. the upstart UCLA team that has been playing football only since 1925. The series with USC started in 1929 and in that first tilt, the Trojans gave the new neighbors a 72-0 shellacking. The next year the score was 52-0 and the game was then abandoned for five seasons while the Bruins got on their legs. Trojans Hold Series Edge Today the series stands at 15 wins for the Trojans, seven for the Bruins and four deadlocks. And the Bruins have won five of the last seven games played. There may be better football played In the country this year than in these four games Satur day but none will be fought with more vim, vigor and spirit and few will have more all-out ivy clad tradition behind them. Van Brocklin To Discuss Suit Plans Cleveland IP) National Foot ball League Players' association counsel Creighton Miller and players' representative Norm Van Brocklin of the Los Angeles Rams will meet here Sunday to clearly define details of de mands in the threatened multi million dollar suit against NFL club owners. Miller announced Thursday that player representatives have authorized him to file suit in Cleveland federal district court Dec. 3 if the owners fail to grant formal recognition of the asso ciation when they hold their pre liminary draft meeting in Phila delphia Dec. 2. A formal written agreement from the NFL owners is the crux of the threatened legal action. Miller said NFL Commissioner Bert Bell already had recognized the association but the owners did not back him up by signing an agreement and forming a committee to talk over playerr demands. Exhibition Pay In addition to formal recogni tion, the association is seeking pay for exhibition games, a share of receipts from the annual championship game and a clause in contracts protecting players who are injured before or during the season. The meeting between Miller and Van Brocklin following the Rams-Browns game may produce additional demands. The association will ask dam ages of $1,400,000 which would bring the total to 4,200,000 in a successful action In the treble damages usually awarded in anti-trust cases.. Miller cited as defendants the league club owners, the clubs and Commissioner Bell. Satterfield Gets Split Decision Oakland, Calif. (IP) Heavy weight Bob Satterfield chased Howard King of Reno, Nev., for seven rounds Thursday night, but had to settle for a split decision because King decided to fight the last three. Most of the action took place in the audience, where the fans booed and clapped their hands in unison. Satterfield, of Chicago chalked up points in a crouching contest during the first three rounds, but King won the fourth by land ing two solid hits to the head. Satterfield edged the retreat ing King through the eighth, but the Reno fighter came back to rock him with heavy rights and lefts through the ninth and tenth. Judge Jack Downey scored it 97-95 for Satterfield, and Judge Eddie James favored the Chi cagoan, 98-95. Referee Matt Zi dich voted for King, 97-94. Agreement Reached on AFL-CIO Merger Portland (IP) Agreement has been reached on merging the AFL and CIO Central Labor Councils in Multnomah county into one body to be known as the Multnomah County Labor Council, AFL-CIO. The CIO Multnomah Indus trial Union Council approved the merger agreement Thursday night and the AFL Portland Central Labor Council is expect ed to act similarly upon recom mendation of its committee. The organization would rep resent more than 45,000 union members. ON CHANNEL 5 UNIVERSITY OF UKHaUN VS. OREGON STATE GAME TIME 1:15 BROUGHT TO YOU BY TfflHSBr CONCRETE C?

Martin said that if both clubs are to profit by the trade, that he should also. He added he will fight off the field for a monetary gain just as hard as he fights on the field to win a game. Fisheries Office Is Moved to Seattle Portland (IP) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said today that Bureau of Commercial Fish eries has been separated from its regional office here and es tablished at Seattle as a new re gional office.

HR Para mount High school's end Jan Banringa, who ran the wrong way for a 9-7 loss to Centen nial last week end, received a letter of consolation Thursday from a man who lost a Rose Bowl game for the University of California with the same mis take. The letter was from Roy Riegels, who made a wrong-way run on New Year's Day of 1929 for an 8-7 loss to Georgia Tech. Banringa ran 55 yards to the wrong end zone after intercept ing a pass. He scored a touch down later in the game but it did no good. Riegels, now a Woodland, Calif., businessman, told Ban ringa: Playing To Win "Don't let one bad run spoil your life or even your enjoy ment of the football season. So you made a mistake. They make a lot of them in footbalL After all, you were playing to win. And you must be a pretty good player or you wouldn't be in there doing a job. "For many years I've had to go along and laugh whenever my wrongway run was brought up, even though I've grown tired of listening and reading about it. "But it certainly wasn't the most serious thing in the world. I regretted doing it, even as you do, but you'll get over it. "Let's get together in four or five years when you've won your college block and well have a good laugh together." WRONG BOX Waterbury, Conn.
