Coach Cliff Speegle at Ok lahoma State may field his best team in four years, but his Cowboys are not eligible to compete for the title until 1960. The University of Houston simply has too much power for its four foes in the Mis souri Valley conference and should romp to a second straight title.

Air Attack on Top PCC lettermen and the nation's best parsing attack which may put WSC atop the heap in the Pacific coast confer ence last title chase. Newman Is Key His chances for a banner season rest largely on the arm of quarterback Bob New man, who completed 104 pass attempts last year and was the nation's total offense leader. The all-coast aerial artist will have three prime targets -all coast Don Ellingsen, Jack Fanning and Bill Steiger. Ellingsen and Fanning fin ished one-two among confer ence pass-grabbers last sea son and Fanning took nine for touchdowns to make him the national leader in that de partment. Steiger laid out last season because of an injury but was high among All-America selections for 1956. Running Atiack Needed Sutherland has been work ing on the Cougar ground game to make it more effec tive. It was so lightly regard ed last year that some oppon ents virtually ignored it and threw a four-man line at the WSC passing attack. Besides Newman, the best backs are scatback Carl Ket chie and fullback Ed Stevens. Laroy Rath also is a bright prospect. There may be help both in the line and back field from untested sopho mores or transfers. The line has plenty of vet eran strength but Sutherland hopes to improve the quality of his depth. The best lettermen are tackles Ray Blier, 212 pounds, Dan Verhey, 215, Vel West, 215 'and Al Williamston, 205; guards Angelo Brovelli, 215; Dick Farrar, 205; and George Sontnis, 205, and center Merl Hitzel, 205. If the Cougar defense im proves, Sutherland will be a tough contender. This is his third year here and he is shooting the works after two campaigns of successful re building.
