MEDFORLVtWTRIBUNE SIPCMffiTrS Perm State In Eastern BY STEVE SNIDER United Press International New York-(UPD-Army, Navy and Penn State not necessar ily in that order are favored to rule the East in college football this fall. Army has the backs, Navy has the depth and Penn State has a little bit of everything needed to go all the way with one slight reservation. The only rap the experts can pin on Penn. State this early is "lack of team speed" and that may or may not be significant. Princeton is the choice over Dartmouth in the Ivy league. Rutgers, which employs an ex act scale-model of Princeton's single wing system, looks like the class of the Middle Atlan tic conference. Williams is the power in the Little Three, Rhode Island and Connecticut in the Yankee conference. But among the major inde pendents, where the true strength of the area lies, the two service academies and Penn. State have the stuff to catch the eye of early season forecasters over , Syracuse, Holy Cross, Pittsburgh and Boston College. ? Losses In Line It's highly possible the col orful Army-Navy game in Philadelphia on Nov. 22 will carry with it the champion ship of the East, though both had graduation losses that hurt. Navy, last year's Eastern champion, lost a sizeable chunk of its "jitterbugging" line and all first string backs except crashing Ray Well born. But the Middies, while protesting this is a "rebuild ing year," have a tough nu cleus as well as reserves. Army again is thin in re serves, particularly in the line, but also has the finest one-two punch anywhere in All-America Bob Anderson up for his second season, and senior halfback Pete Dawkins. Coach Red Blaik will go with untried quarterback Joe Cald well, a gamble but not exactly a new thing up at West Point. Despite line losses, Navy is expected to put up a sturdy forward wall led by All-America tackle Bob Reifsnyder so the major question lies in the backfield. Plenty of Q-Backs Tom Forrestal, a dandy pass er, is among the missing, which puts "young Joe Tran chini on the spotat quarter back, but Joe did well against Army and against Rice in the Cotton Bowl. For ball-toters, Eddie Erdelatz and Dick Zem bruzuski along with Well born. Penn State, with a re-shuffled but experienced line, pins its hig hopes on the best group of quarterbacks on any squad in the East. Coach Rip Engle has not one, two or three but four able signal callers and that's real dream stuff. ' His veterans are Al Jacks, Richie Lucas and Bob Scrabis. Add to them sophomore Dick Hoak and there's depth aplenty for any emergency. At Syracuse, veteran quar terback Chuck Zimmerman is the key man in an outfit well fixed six returning starters among 18 lettermen every where but at the ends. Holy Cross, with perhaps the East's standout T-quarter-back in Tom Greene,' is handi capped by lack of spring prac tice but Greene will operate behind a fine line led by J Favored Football guard Jim Healey. The Cru saders figure to be rough to handle. , Pittsburgh has a pair of fine quarterbacks in Bill Kal iden and Ivan Tomsic but, with a back-breaking sched ule, may be a year away from big things. In the Ivy League, Prince ton had losses in the line and at quarterback where three year starter John Sapoch left a big hole. However, the Ti gers apparently have found an able replacement in Dean Locks and an inspirational tailback in Danny Sachs to push the , wing advance. Also returning is fullback Fred Tiley to provide that vitally needed up-the-middle power. Bill Gundy replaces Dart mouth's graduated passer, Dave Bradley. He did well, on occasion last season andv if coach Bob Blackman can 're pair his reserve strength the Big - Green rates close to Princeton. Yale is pressing a search for a. quarterback , to replace the graduated Dick .Winerbauer and the prospects aren't bright enough to make Yale a major contender so far. Pennsyl vania has the experience it lacked in recent years and could go if Steve Sebo finds a passer. Brown, Harvard and Columbia are believed to be too thin in first-class talent but Cornell, with a good line coming up, has hopes of start ing the climb back toward the top. Royals Capture Play-Of f Start United Press International Rookie Bob Giallombardo, recently returned by the par ent Los Angeles Dodgers, will take the mound for Montreal tonight as the Royals attempt to take a commanding two game edge over the Columbus Jets in . the International league's semi-final playoffs. Lynn Lovenguth, a veteran right hander who has played for five different I.L. clubs, will be the Jet's choice to pull them even. Montreal won the opening game of the best-of-seven set Tuesday night, 8-2. In the other semi-final series, the scheduled first game between Toronto and Rochester was postponed by rain Tuesday night and will be played today at Toronto. Mickey Wright Dallas Champ Dallas, Tex.-(DPD -Y oung Mickey Wright held her second straight tournament title today with an 18-hole playoff victory ove'r veteran Beverly Hanson in the Dallas Women's.Open, but Miss Han son salvaged some solace from the loss. Miss Hanson shot a - 74 to Miss Wright's one-under-par 71 in the showdown for the $1,247 first prize money. But the $961 she picked up boosted her ahead of all the other women pros in money earnings. In addition, the 69,71-71-73 -284 she scored in tieing Miss Wright for first place over the regulation 72-hole route, trimmed her scoring average to 74.91 strokes per round best among all the pros this season. AiEtinson Advances on Am; Harrington Loses TussDe San Francisco - (DPD- Only two Oregonians were left in the running for the National Amateur Golf championship today. Bob Atkinson Jr., Oregon Amateur king, and ' Don Krieger, both of Portland, won their matches Tuesday while Bruce Cudd, Dick Yost, and Bob Prall were defeated. Another loser Tuesday was George Harrington, formerly of Medford, who dropped a 3 and 2 decision to William Bogle of Pdughkeepsie, N.Y. Atkinson won over Alex Welsh of Rockford, 111, 3 and 1, and Krieger defeated George McFerran, Norbeck, Md., 1-up. Redskin Offense Strong; Defense Question Mark (This is one in a series on the 1958 prospects of Na tional Football league teams. ' . By BOB SERLING United Press International Washington '(DPD Slightly paraphrased, an old baseball expression fits the 1958 Wash ington Redskins: "Good hit, no field." In football phraseology, that adds up to a loaded of fense and a highly-questionable defense. "Loaded" is the word for the Redskins' attack this year. Coach Joe Kuharich has more good halfbacks than he knows what to do with. And for the first time in years, Washington has the bench strength for every backfield post including quarterback. Backing up smart, able lit tle Eddie LeBaron will be Ralph Guglielmi, fresh out of the Air Force. The Redskins' "pappoose platoon" that tore up . the National Football league in 1957 returns intact -halfbacks Jim Podoley and Ed Sutton, plus fullback Don Bosseler. More Backs Add. to 'this formidable ar ray such backs as Bert Za gers, who led the NFL in punt returns last year; John ny Olszewski, obtained from the Chicago Cardinals as a fullback mate for Bosseler; Pittsburgh refugee Sid Wat son who has looked sensation al in pre-season games, and veteran handyman Leo Elter, who does everything but hold owner George Preston Mar shall's coat. Up front, the offensive line is paced by Dick Stanfel and Red Stephens, rated by oppo nents as the best blocking guards in football. John Car son is a fine end, handicapped in the past by Washington's lack of a second good receiver to take the pressure off the lean Georgian. But this condition seems to have been remedied by the unexpected development of sophomore Joe Walton . as an offensive end. No less an au thority than LeBaron himself predicts that Walton could be the surprise of the. league. "He's come- along very fast," Eddie insists. "I don't think they will be able to con centrate on covering Carson anymore, because Walton is a threat all by himself." The Redskins' offensive tackles are big and fast, and in Jim Schrader they have an underrated center who makes few mistakes. The Liabilities . . But for every offensive as set, the Tribe seems to have a defensive liability. Many of their key defensive players are veterans who may be over the hill; others are green rookies who will make mis takes, and In pro football a mistake usually means six points for the other guy. Kuharich tried hard to shore up known weaknesses in ass defense. He got Fred Bruney from the Steelers in a trade and Bruney seems to have a wingbaclr spot nailed down. He also acquired Doyle Nix from Green Bay. but Nix must show improvement. Most of Kuharich's top draft Bamberger ERA Best in League San Francisco -flJPD- George Bamberger of Vancouver racked up the best earned run average in the Pacific Coast league, in '1958, final unoffic ial figures showed. League statistician William Weiss said Bamberger, who led in that department most of the season, had a final aver age of 2.45 for 184 innings in 31 games. Marshall Bridges of Sacra mento and Art Fowler of Spo kane were the loop's top win ners, each notching 16 vic tories. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central Cudd was beaten by 5 and 3 by defending champion Hil man Robbins; Yost lost 6 and 4 to R. B. Hendrickson of St. Paul, Minn., and Prall, of Salem, lost out to Claud Wild Jr. of Bethesda, Md.; 3 and 2. San Francisco (DPD The most controversial round of golf in the 58-year history of the National Amateur cham pionship may be played today when defending .champion Hillman Robbins tangles with the well-known, coast-to-coast golfer, Martin Stanovich. Stanovich probably has the most unorthodox swing in major league amateur golf. But the claim is he can shoot picks' were defensive backs, but only oneDick Lynch of Notre Dame-shapes up as out standing. One bright spot on the de fense is Bob Dee, a giant end who looks like another Gene Brito. And Brito himself, a perennial all - pro defensive end, will be back to heckle enemy passers. Despite their questionable defense, , the Redskins could make a run at Cleveland and New York in the Eastern di vision. Their 1958 squad is a typical Kuharich production well - conditioned, high-spirited and tough. Howard Prairie. Receives Plants Of Fingerlings Approximately 37,000 rain bow trout fingerlings were scheduled to be planted this week in Howard Prairie reser voir, according to Cole Rivers; Grants Pass, fish biologist and field clgent for the Oregon state game commission. Initial planting of 75,000 fingerlings was made about three weeks ago. Rivers said the trout might grow to sizes which would afford fishing by some, time next year. If fishing is per mitted, there would stUl be the problem of getting boats on the water since there may be no launching facilities. The 37,000 fingerlings this week are from the Butte Falls hatchery. Game commission plans are to make the basic stocking of the reservoir with kamloops rainbow from Diamond lake. The annual plant would be of Kamloops. . ' . Ducks Perk Up In Long Drill ' Eugene, Ore. - (DPD Coach Len Casanova kept his Uni versity of Oregon Ducks on the move for an hour and 15 minutes Tuesday because he wasn't satisfied with a brief defensive scrimmage. , Finally, he said, the team came to life. He praised the work of backs Don Lauden slager Marian Holland and Dave Powell-and added a few kind words for rookie left half Terry Cagaanan.
