Trojans SKouId Be Much
Improved Over Last Year
(Following is one of a te-
ne on prospects of Pacific
Conference Football learns.)
By ALEX KAHN
Los Angeles -(UPD-If South
ern California wins two foot
ball games this fall it will
be a 100 per cent improve
ment over last year but the
Trojans expect to do better
than that in Coach Don
Lark's second season.
Newcomers, some from the
frosh squad and other trans
fers, are expected to bolster
the Trojans and the year of
experiencein Clark's system
also will be reflected in
smoother performance, the
coaches and the players feel.
Perhaps the top addition
this year is halfback Angelo
Coia, a transfer from The
Citadel who has all the speed
of a trackman and good foot
ball sense. Coia is being
brought along slowly because
of a slightly strained ligament
but he could be Southern
Cal's answer to the lack of
speed demonstrated last year.
Joining him in the first
backfield will be sophomore
Jerry Traynham at the other
halfback. Clark Holden at
fullback, and either Tom
Mauldin or Willie Wood at
quarterback.
The halfback spot is given
depth by the presence of Rex
Johnston and Tony Ortega
from last year's varsity, both
limited by conference rules
to five games.
The line is expected to be
anything but the porous sieve
it was last season. Chief ad
ditions are Dan Ficca at left
tackle and Mike McKeever at
right guard up from the
frosh. with Hillard Hill re
turning at left end after a
year's absence because of ill
ness.
Ficca is being touted as the
best line prospect in Troyville
since John Ferraro. Mike Mc
Keever is a fast interior line
man, a good linebacker and
an excellent blocker. His twin
brother, Marlin, tentatively is
listed as second string right
end but probably will see
plenty of first string action.
Trojan fortunes dropped
off sharply last season when
left guard Frank Fiorentino
was injured in midseason.
But Fiorentino is back in
shape and tearing up the prac
tice field as he takes out two
and three men on a play.

A three-game winning
streak, with the Cleveland
Browns the latest victims,
should have the San Francis
co Forty-Niners in a happy
frame of mind today but in
stead two costly injuries are
making them sing the blues.
The Forty-Niners rallied to
whip the Browns-, 21-16, at
San Francisco in the only Na
tional Football league exhibi
tion game played Sunday.
But this time they lost
Charley Krueger, the All
America rookie tackle from
Texas A&M, with a broken
right arm. Krueger was the
Forty-Niners' No. 1 draft
choice and was being tried at
end and guard as well as at
tackle. Last week's casualty
was end Billy Wilson, the
team's leading pass catcher
for the last two seasons, who
was lost for eight weeks with
a shoulder separation.

ACC Pre-Season Prospects
Loom Bright at Clemson
By WILLIAM A. SHIRES
Raleigh, N.C. (UPD The
Atlantic Coast Conference em
barks, on an open football
bowl policy this fall and per
haps by .no mere coincidence
prospects are for the ACC to
have two or three teams of
bowl caliber.
Pre-sason prospects shine
brightest at Clemson, and
Sunny Jim Tatum's man
power at the University of
North Carolina is rated. just
a shade below that of Clem
son's Frank Howard. Clem
son and North Crolina meet
on the season's second Satur
day, Sept. 27, in what is be
ing called the "championship
game."
There are few quite so
reckless as to overlook the
rest of the season which for
both Clemson and North Caro
lina includes both the tradi
tional "toss-'em" rivalries
with South Carolina and
Duke, a pair of ACC dark
horse powers, and such
Annex NWL
Kipper, who was the league's
winningest hurler during the
season with 23 victories. Yak
ima touched the Bronco ace
for eight hits, pushing across
its lone tally in the third in
ning. It was the second straight
win over Kipper for the new
champs in the playoff series.
Yakima got a beautiful
pitching job from unheralded
Clair Hickman, who gave up
five hits and avoided serious
trouble in going the route. He
struck out seven and walked
five.
FOOTBALL INJURY FATAL
Beaumont, Tex. - (UPD - Jim
my Amason, 16, died here
Sunday as a result of a brok
en neck suffered in a high
school football sor-" -night.
Amason, a halfback on
the Jasper, Tex., high sciiuoi
team, was injured when he
made a tackle during a game

Atlantic Coast ' teams will

foes to be faced this fall in
clude such titans as Auburn,
Texas A&M, Navy, and Illi

with the Big Seven has end
ed, but the Orange Bowl as
well as the Sugar, Gator and
Cotton Bowls undoubtedly
will be watching the ACC's
best representatives. All ex-.
cept bowl-ineligible North
Carolina State. .
Marse Frank Howard, boast
ing the finest legions in his
coaching career, apparently
is in the driver's seat of the
conference at Clemson this
year. The biggest reason for
Clemson optimism is Harvey
White, 200-pound junior quar
terback who set league rec
ords in total offense and
touchdown passing last year.
Offense Best In Years
White heads a rangy, fast
and deep backfield. Howard
has three complete backfields
and an all-letterman starting
squad. Team speed and of
fensive flash are the best in
Clemson's recent history and
if there is any weakness it
is in lack' of experience in
line reserves.
Tatum's Tar Heels have
three top-notch quarterbacks,
led by another 1957 sopho
more whiz, Jack Cummings.
There is more bench strength
and a Tatum-recruited platoon
stack of halfbacks. The pay
off for Tatum's building pro
gram at North Carolina, in
dicated by last year's victories
over Miami, Navy and Duke,
may arrive this fall.
Improvement is expected by
every ACC team except pos
sibly Duke and North Caro
lina State. Graduation losses
hit both the Blue Devils and
the Wolfpack severely.
Maryland, with guard Rod
Breedlove, tackle Fred Cole,
and Ben Scotti and guard
Tom Gunderman, may field
the best line in the conference.

Durham IV
Head Tutor
In Football
Cave Junction Eldon Dur
ham, new Illinois Valley High
school mentor, can " field a
monogram-wearer at every
football position this fall, but
not all of these lettermen have
a wealth of experience and
some of them are working at
new positions.
Durham, a former coach at
St. Mary's high of Medford,
issued suits this fall to some
35 IV lettermen. About 20 is
the average turnout at prac
tices. A virus made inroads
on the roster last week as the
Cougars pointed toward their
opener here Sept. 12 with the
St. Mary's eleven.
All but four of the letter
men are seniors. Most experi
enced are three two-year
men, Russ Beem, right guard;
Grant Dickey, fullback, and
Dan Slanaker, right halfback.
Slanaker was quarterback in
1957.
Other senior letter-holders
are Howard Olles, right end;
Clark England, right tackle,
and Mike Whitely, end who
was moved from center, and
Byron Pickle, left tackle. Jun
iors are Bill Tucker, left end
after playing in the backfield
last season; Mike Hamby,
quarterback, and Jerry Buck
holtz, left half. Doys Cogburn
is a sophomore left guard let
terman. The Cougars will be rather
light this year, according to
Durham. Olles is the heaviest
among the top prospects at
185 pounds. The tutor said his
line will average 155 pounds
and the backfield about 140.
Durham served two years in
the Army after leaving St.
Mary's four years ago. He has
taught in the grade school at
Redmond for the past two
years. The new IV coach will
be head man also in basket
ball and baseball. Durham
says he's desperately in need
of basketball games in Decem
ber. Not a one has been sched
uled so far for the Cougars for
that month. In fact the only
games they have lined up are
the Rogue league tussles in
January and February.
Assisting in football this
fall is Wayne Thornhill, who
comes here from the Midwest.
Thornhill will be head coach
in wrestling.
On a clear dark night, the
unaided eye theoretically can
spot 2,500 stars visible at the
same time.
ONLY one week in U. S., and
Yugoslavia's lone fencer,
