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-

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.

Riegels Acts
To Console
Young End
Paramount, Calif. 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. (IP) Teen

contenders Rory Calhoun and
Bobby Boyd fight tonight at
