Newspaper Page TextO o EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, November 26, 1957 Rose Bowl Bound Ohio State Moves into Ton Gridiron Rate By NORMAN MILLER New York W Ohio State, 0 which lost its season opener and then swept to the Big Ten cham pionship and a berth in the Rose, Bowl, took over the No. 1 spot in the United Press college foot ball ratings today by a narrow margin over Michigan State and Auburn. Only 18 points separated the top three teams, making this sea son's race for the national cham pionship the closest in many years. The title will be deter mined next week in the final 1957 ballot of the United Press board of coaches. Michigan State, in first place last week, attracted the highest number of first-place votes this week from the 35 leading coaches who make up the United Press rating board. The Spartans were the No. 1 choice of 13 coaches, compared to 11 votes for Ohio State and 10 for Au burn. Buckeyes Gain Support However, Ohio State received much greater support for suc ceeding places. No coach picked the Buckeyes lower than fifth place this week. Michigan State Arizona State Boosted As One of Top Teams By HAL WOOD San Francisco (IP) The best gol-danged, rootin'-tootin' foot ball team in the United States may be none other than "little" Arizona Tempe State, one of two undefeated "major" grid clubs in the country. Take the word of Jack Moose Myers of College of Pacific. "I voted for this team for first place in the United Press rat ings," said Myers. "It could hold its own with Ohio State, Notre Dame or any of the other top teams in the country. Veach Lone Veteran On Eagle Roster Eagle Point It's a rebuilding year in basketball at Eagle Point High school where Coach Tom Van Etten has only one letter man presently on hand from the 1956-1957 squad which won the Rogue league championship. The returnee is Ron Veach, a senior guard. Another letterman, who is in school but has not turned out is Wayne Christian, big rugged forward. 1 Van Eteen, who is taking the Eagle hoop helm for the first time, currently is working with a varsity crew of 11 men. Sen iors predominate. They include Jim Nelson and Doug Chamber lain, guards; Larry Smith, Bob Greb. Larry Knutsen and John Jackson, forwards, and Ron Reagan, center. Lack Weight Juniors are Bill Turner, for ward with a good eye who saw some varsity duty last year; Bill Hubbard, center, and Dusty Ger bing, guard. The squad is short on overall height. Hubbard is tallest at 6 feet 2 inches and Reagan, Greb, Jackson and Turner are six footers. Van Etten indicated that the Eagles have been showing good hustle. First game of the season is with Butte Falls at Eagle Point on Tuesday, Dec. 3. A squad of 19 junior varsity players is working under Coach Gail Schoppert. Bert Simmons is mentor for a gang of 12 freshmen. "It should be among the top 10, and I think probably among the top five." Myers, of course, may have been unduly impressed by the fact that the Sun Devils crush ed his good College of Pacific team, 41-0, last Saturday. Not Again? "I've seen enough of that team to last me a life-time," he added. "But what do you know? We play them in our first home game of the season next year." Myers wasn't exactly shaking in his boots at the propect. "They will have most of their team back," he said, "but I think that we'll have the best team I've ever had in my years at COP." The former UCLA and Phila delphia Eagles pro grid star, said that he could see a lot of pro talent on the two clubs. "That Bobby Mulgado should make it in the pro ranks," he said. "He is fast, he is tricky and he is hard to bring down. And that end, Clancy Osborne, is outstanding. Two Prospects "From my own team, quarter back Tommy Flores will be pass ing for some team in the major leagues next year. He can throw a 60-yard pass with accuracy. And our guard, Bill Striegel, played 10 great games for us. He'll go on ,some draft choice." Myers, at COP for five years, finished this season with a 5-3-2 record. He made his observations on the Arizona State team at the weekly gathering of the Northern California Football Writers association. The writers, in their final official session of the year, vot ed Joe Verducci of San Francis co the area's "Coach of the Year." They named fullback Chuck Shea of Stanford "Back of the Year," and Floyd Peters, San Francisco State, "Lineman of the Year." FIGHTS Br I'NITED PRESS New York St. Nick s Alex Miteff. 203 U.

In points, Ohio State thus had 304, compared to 297 for Mich igan State and 286 for Auburn. Points are awarded on the basis of 10 for a first place vote, nine for a second and so on down to one point for a 10th place vote. Iowa moved up four notches to the No. 4 rating, placing three Big Ten powers in the first four places. Iowa was followed in order by Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Navy, Mississippi, Army and Rice. Rice was the week's newcom er among the top 10 teams, re placing Notre Dame which dropped from ninth to 11th place after its defeat by Iowa. Schedules Incomplete Seven of this week's top 10 teams have games remaining on their schedule, only the three Big Ten schools having com pleted their regular season. Ohio State meets Oregon ranked 17th in the Rose Bowl. Texas A&M is a likely Cotton or Sugar Bowl participant; Oklahoma is in the Orange Bowl against Duke ranked 15th; Navy will receive a Cotton Bowl bid if it beats Army Saturday; Mississippi is a Sugar Bowl prospect, and Rice can win the host role in the Cot ton Bowl by beating Baylor. Auburn, with a spotless 9-0 record and one game left against weak Alabama, is ineligible for a bowl bid this year. Here is how the points were divided after the first three teams: Jowa 203, Texas A&M 191, Oklahoma 171, Navy 122, Mississippi 118, Army 73, and Rice 69. Arizona Tempe State, which like Auburn is undefeated and untied, received one first place vote and ranked 13th behind Notre Dame and Wisconsin. North Carolina State was 14th with Duke and Texas tied for 15th place, and Oregon and UCLA tied for 17th. There was a five-team tie for the No. 19 rating among Clem- son, Princeton, Illinois, North Carolina and Mississippi State.

(International) PCC Rates as Dull Season Because 'Big Schools Dbwn' San Francisco (IP) Alumni sniping at losing football coach es should be in full swing this week but it's so quiet across the nation today that some of the coaches must be listening to the breathing on their necks. Has the NCAA finally de-emphasized football to the point where the alumni have given up? Don't they care any more? University of Washington, Ohio State and University of California long have been noted as "coaching graveyards" places where a loser was doom ed to get the executioner's axe. The Buckeyes have that prob lem licked this year as Coach Woody Hayes takes his team to the Rose Bowl. But how about California and Washington? Washington, under new Coach Jim Owens, came up with a 3-6-1 record and in days of yore Mr. Owens would have been looking around for a new job. Pronto! Not A Peep California finished with the worst record in its long and glorious history: Won 1. But there hasn't been a peep from alumni organizations. A dis grunted former Cal player, did come into the Golden Bears' dressing room after the loss to Stanford Saturday and said to Chancellor Clark Kerr: "You can't blame these boys. It was a lousy coaching job! But there is no organized re sistance to young Coach Pete OWLING BANTOM LEAGUE Standings: W.

Football Spotlight Shifts To Texas, Philadelphia Sites By HARRY WISMER New York P) The Intercol legiate football spotlight this week will be on Texas and Phila delphia. In the Southwest everything is in a turmoil because of the upsurge of Rice. The results of the Texas vs. Texas Aggies game at College Station on' Thursday, and the Baylor-Rice contest on Saturday will not only decide the conference title, but, also the Cotton Bowl selection. Until then the makeup of not only the Cotton, but also the Sugar and 'Gator Bowls is in doubt. Army-Navy Explosive The other battle is the Army Navy game. The clash at Phila delphia can provide one of the most explosive tussels of all time. Both elevens have spar kling offenses with fine backs and to our mind the defense will win the traditional tussle. One thing is certain, there'll be more than 100,000 on hand. Woody Hayes, the sound and astute coach of Ohio State, has done a fine job with his squad. The Buckeyes looked very ordi nary . when they dropped the opener to Texas Christian. After that they improved steadily, their stock rising each week. They'll have little trouble in winning the Rose Bowl. When the experts were hand ing out the Big Ten predictions at the beginning of the season they did not figure the Bucks to be in the top half. Hayes and his talented crew changed all that and in whipping Iowa, Wis consin, Purdue and Michigan they defeated strong opposition. Incidentally, the word is out to watch Wisconsin next year. If the Badgers can escape injury to their talented 1957 sopho mores they'll have a fine chance.

In fact, most "of the Bear backers are anxiously awaiting next year's season when they expect "great things" from the young mentor with his split-T style. Dull Season This has been a dull season for the Pacific Coast conference. Regular beatings in inter-sectional garircs. A Rose Bowl represen tative, Oregon, which has been beaten three times. The big schools "down," the little schools only so-so-. There have been a few blasts at Coach' Don Clark of USC for his club's 1-8 record to date the Trojans play Notre Dame next. But nothing organized here, either. It could be that disgruntled alumni have turned from badg ering the coaches to making the school executives the whipping boys. Such is the case in the PCC, it seems, and it is prob able that any school under an NCAA ban or conference sen tence gets added support from its alumni. Nothing brings a family clos er together than to have an out sider "butt in." And in these cases, the losing coaches are be ing protected by the same fel lows who used to be after their scalps. SPORTS Spokane Has First Lick On PCL Club Spokane (IP) The president of the Los Angeles Angels indi cated Monday Spokane would be in a leading position to obtain the team's Pacific Coast League baseball franchise if it could furnish an adequate playing park. The official, Dick Walsh, pre sented the Angel needs and those of the parent Brooklyn Dodgers, whose move to Los An geles made it necessary to trans fer the Angel franchise. He spoke at an exploratory meeting to see whether Spokane would be interested in obtaining the franchise.
