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."

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

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

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.

Elliott. 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.
