Auburn Southeast Choice But Banned from Bowls
(This is another dispatch
on college football proi-peels.)
BY DAVE MOFFIT
Atlanta CPU The Auburn
Tigers, rated among the na
tion's best a year ago, are ex
pected to growl as loud again
this fall. But, while those
growls should keep the Tigers
on top in the rugged South
eastern conference, they'll
only sound like meows so far
as any bowl bid is concerned.
Auburn posted a brilliant
10-0-0 record in '57, but was
kept out of bowl consideration
by an NCAA ban for alleged
SPORTS
recruiting violations. The Ti
gers bowl hopes were struck
down again this spring when
the NCAA added three more
years to the ban because of
alleged inducements offered
quarterback prospect Don
Fuell.
With Auburn forced to the
post-season sidelines, the top
bowl prospects in the SEC are
expected to be Sugar Bowl
champion Mississippi', 8-1-1
last season, and Billy Stacy
paced Mississippi State, which
was 6-2-1.
Auburns Offenso Good
Figure Auburn, Ole Miss
and Mississippi State to run
1-23. Florida, Georgia Tech,
Kentucky and Georgia, all
with two full teams of return
ing lettermen, should battle
for fourth. The remaining
five, Tennessee, Vanderbilt,
Alabama, Louisiana and Tu-
Bruins Should Field
Colorful Contingent
Following is another in a
series on Pecifie Coast Con
ference football prospects.
By ALEX KAHN
Los Angeles -fliPD- Despite
the untimely death of Coach
Henry (Red) Sanders and the
illness of his successor George
Dickerson, UCLA will field a
well drilled and colorful foot
ball team this year.
With 25 lettermen back,
UCLA would appear to be an
experienced, squad: That holds
true for the five games in
which seven seniors will ap
pear. But when their eligibili
ty is over under conference
rulings, UCLA may be in for
tougher sledding.
Most pickers rank UCLA
just below Oregon State in
the conference and if spirited
action in pre-season practice
is any indication then the con
fidence may be justified. But
it will take some doing for
the Bruins to equal last sea
son's record when they fin
ished 8-2 and second in the
conference.
Some Gaps
A lot depends on whether
the UCLA staff can fill the
gaps when men like tailback
Don Long, quarterback Steve
Gertsman, end Dick Wallen
and interior lineman Bill
Leeka, Jim Dawson, Clint
Whitfield and Dick Butler
finish their five-game - eligi
bility. But during the five games
they play, the Long-to-Wallen
passing combination may get
UCLA off to a "big start. Then
it will be up to Chuck Ken
dall, Jim Steffen and junior
college transfer Bill Kilmer,
a flashy runner, to fill the
tailback gap.
In fact, UCLA was so load
ed with tailbacks, that kick
ing star Kirk Wilson, an al
ternate, was shifted to full
back. Gertsman's departure
will leave 169-pound Dave
Peterson as the top blocking
back. But at wingback the
Bruins will have Phil Parslow
end John Davis to alternate
while Ray Smith and Skip
Smith, no relations, will un
derstudy at fullback.
Chief Losses
The chief losses from last
season were fullback Barry
Billington and center Dan
Peterson. With Butler the
only experienced center back
limited to five games, UCLA
has a problem there.
Pre - season practice indi
cated UCLA will be passing
more this season than in past
year, especially when Kirk
Wilson is in the lineup at full
back. A good long ball passer,
Wilson will add deception to
the aerial attack.
The team seems " to have
dedicated the season to the
memory of Sanders and with
that incentive might go on to
be a "vow" squad. Only time
will tell.

lane, bring up the rear.
Auburn's defense is hardly
expected to match 1957 when
no opponent scored more than
one touchdown and all 10 to
taled only 28 points. But Au
burns' offense should be as
good with standout perform
ances expected from end
Jerry Wilson, center Jackie
Burkett, quarterback Lloyd
Nix and halfback Tommy
Lorino.
Tiger faithful say Wilson,
a 225-pound senior who played
last fall in in the shadow of
All-America Jimmy Phillips,
may be the best end in the na
tion this season.
Ole Miss lost nine of last
year's starters. But the sec
ond and third teams return in
tact, bolstered by a promising
group of sophomores. The
strong point will be in the
middle of the line bulwarked
by fast-rising junior Ken Kirk
and '57 regular Milton Crane.
Key To Title
Mississippi State is building
its attack around Stacy, all
SEC the past two seasons.
State plays both Auburn and
Mississippi, which don't meet,
so may be the real key to the
1958 SEC title.
Florida lias most of its key
players back, although triple
threat star Bernie Parrish has
turned to pro baseball, and is
eyeing a repeat of its 6-2-1 sea
son in '57. Val Heckman at
tackle, Don Flemming at end
and Jimmy Dunn at quarter
back are the make-or-break
men.
Georgia Tech has 14 mem
bers of its first two teams
back and expects to improve
on last year's break-even rec
ord, first time since 1950 the
Jackets have been "that low.
Junior center Maxie Baughan
is being touted as possibly
better than All-America Don
Stephenson whom he under
studied last season.
Should Improve
Kentucky lost All-America
tackle Lou Micfiaels, but
should improve this fall as
what was mainly a sophomore
squad adds experience. Geor
gia,; with 26 lettermen and a
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfonf, Oregon, Friday, September 12, IMS
less rugged schedule, should
improve record-wise.
Tennessee and Vanderbilt
both lack experience. The
Vols, 7-3 and Gator Bowl
champs last year have only 16
lettermen back; Vanderbilt
only 15.
Alabama has Paul Bear
Bryant and 25 lettermen. But
the poor showing in '57 offers
little hope for '58. LSU and
Tulane may find their head-on
finale will determine which
ends up in the SEC basement.
The Wizardry of little 148
pound quarterback Fran Cur
ci and the return of nine regu
lars point to the Miami Hurri
caines as the op independent
in the Southeast Miami and
Florida State, a lesser-regarded
independent, both play al
most full-scale SEC schedules.
