Washington; Oregon Wins deeded For Coast Football By HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco-There's noth ing wrong with Pacific Coast football that couldn't be cured with a couple of victories by University of Washington and University of Oregon on Saturday. Only problem here is that Washington meets Ohio State and Oregon tangles with Oklahoma. Oklahoma is the No. 1 team in the nation, while Ohio State ranks third! If the boys from the north west could pull off this double-header it would take a lot of the sting out of what hap pened over the past week-end; Michigan State 32. California 12; Rice 30, Stanford 7; Mis Oklahoma Favored by 21 Over Oregon New York-flJPD-The nation's 10 top-ranked college football teams will win their Satur day games-most of them with ease-if the oddsmakers are right. - In their weekly quotations, the oddsmakers made top ranked Oklahoma a 21-point choice to whip visiting Ore gon. Michigan State, ranked second this week by the United Press International board of coaches, is a 13-point favorite for its Big Ten clash with Michigan at East Lansing. Third-ranked Ohio State also is a stout favorite, rating a 21 point bulge over Washington at Columbus. Fourth-ranked Auburn is so heavily favored for its game with Chattanooga that the oddsmakers took the contest off their boards. The price makers put seventh-ranked Wisconsin's game with Mar quette, eighth-ranked Iowa's game with the Air Force Academy and lOth-ranked Mississippi's Saturday night meeting with Trinity Tex. in the same category. Army Choice Fifth-ranked Army is favor ed over Penn State by 10 points for their East feature, sixth-ranked Natre Dame is a 7-point choice for its visit to Southern Methodist and ninth ranked Pittsburgh is favored by the same margin for its visit to Minnesota. Washington State is fa sport &p osCAR fraley Pfll"fll Alz Sports Writer r Sj7p2jL United Press Milwaukee -(LTD Big Don Larsen, who went from hero to ham in one swift year, was happy to be sitting on the bench as the World Series opened today. Two years ago he stood the baseball world on its collec tive ear by pitching the first perfect game in World Ser ies history against the Brook lyn Dodgers. Last year he was the loser as Lew Burdette won the final game for Milwau kee. This time around-as the Braves and Yankees go back at it again-Larsen almost didn't make it. "It looked for a time as if I wouldn't even get on the Yankees' World Series eligi bility list," he remembered. "'I worried about it a lot. But now I'm in, thank goodness." And, he predicted, he just might have a "pretty; good series." Had Bad Year Larsen almost missed the boat because of a "tender" right elbow.

The Old Days There was a day when the representatives of the Pacific Coast Conference walloped the Big Ten and others in big intersectionals-at least in the early part of the season. The Big Ten most always re bounded to win the Rose Bowl. But the feeling of su periority was fine while it lasted. This year there are only three unbeaten football teams in the West at the end of the first two weeks of play: Ore gon, Washington and indepen dent College of Pacific. Duck Eleven vored by 7 for its "clash with California in Saturday's na tionally televised game. The oddsmakers rate the North Carolina State-Virginia game one of Saturday's clos est, calling it a toss-up. Illinois is favored over Duke by 5, Purdue over Rice by 7, West Virginia over In diana by 7, Northwestern over Stanford by 14, Baylor over Miami, Fla. by 1 and Texas A&M over Missouri by 6 in other intersectional games. Odds on other top games: East: Brown over Yale by 2, Holy Cross over Syracuse by 5, Cornell over Harvard by 13, Dartmouth over Penn sylvania by 13, Princeton over Columbia by 13, and Navy over Boston University by 14 South: Virginia Tech over William and Mary by 2, .Clem son over Maryland by 5, Georgia over South Carolina by 5, Vanderbilt over Ala bama by 6, Wake Forest over Florida State by 8, Mississip pi State over Tennessee by 8 and Georgia Tech over Tulane by 9. Midwest: Nebraska over Iowa State by 2, Colorado over Kansas by 7, and Hous ton over Cincinnati by 8. Southwest: Texas over Texas Tech by 11 and Texas Christian over Arkansas by 18. West: Oregon State over UCLA by 5, and Southern California over North Caro lina by 7 in a Friday night game, of action throueh most of Aus ust and early September and, r while he still isn't certain just what was wrong he knows he won only nino games this sea son. "Coming up toward the end of the season," he recalls, ''There were two. pitching spots open on the Yankee World Series eligibility list. There were three of us in contention - Tom Sturdivant, Murry Dickson and myself. Well, Virgil Trucks was drop ped from the list and we all three made it. But there were moments when I wondered, I'll tell you." There is a bit of irony to Larsen's ups and downs. When he pitched his famous perfect game against the Dod gers, he used a brand new "no windup" technique. Adopted by Turley It was so effective it was adopted by "Bullet Bob" Tur ley, who used it with sensa tional success and became the Yankees' leading winner this season. Now the 225-pound Larsen is thinking of "mixing up" his windups-using the no windup technique when he has baserunners and winding up "to get a little something extra and a change to con fuse the hitters" when there are no . baserunners. Turley is expected to start Thursday's second game against the Braves with the probability the Braves with the probability that Larsen will pitch the Saturday third game at Yankee stadium. But it wouldn't surprise Larsen if the "old man"-meaning man ager Casey Stengel-surprised the Braves and gave him the second game assignment. STEELERS ACQUIRE END Pittsburgh - (UPD - The Pitts burgh Steelers have pur chased, offensive end Dick Lucas from the Chicago Bears on waivers and are now ask ing for waivers on rookie end Jon Evans. - NAMED TOP GOLF ROOKIE Chicago - (UPD - Golf Digest magazine has named Bob Goalby of Belleville, 111., its "golf rookie of 1958." Goalby, 27, won one tournament and was in the top five in three others to earn more than $10, 000 in his first year on the tour. It looks as though Oregon and Washington will meet the end of their strings on Satur day. Coach Len Casanova's Oregon team just doesn't have the horses to cope with Okla homa. Washington, with wins over San Jose State and Min nesota, conceivably could have a chance against Ohio State. But the Huskies are young and inexperienced which means they'll make too many mistakes to get by the Buckeyes. Watch Bast . That leaves College of Pa cific and it's brilliant Dick Bass as the lone contenders for ,major national honors from the West. The Tigers have knocked over University of California and Arizona Tempe State in two tries. The one-man gang for the Tigers has been Bass, who has averaged -better than 200 yards per game. This lad, a junior, is so tough that in the game against the Arizona crew, once he carried two would-be tacklers across the goal with him from the five yard line. , The Tigers get a rest this week, but important games include PCC tilts involving UCLA vs. Oregon State, and California vs. WSC. Other big games: Stanford vs. North western, USC vs. North Caro lina; and Idaho vs. Utah. London TKO Winner; Ref Halts Bout London - (ITD - After years of frustration, European heavyweights are on the come back trail. Third - ranked- heavyweight challenger Willie Pastrano be came the latest victim of Eu rope's reemerged heavies Tuesday night when bulky British champion Britan Lon don beat him on a disputed technical knockout. It was the third straight upset of high-rated fighters by Europeans in less than three weeks. European cham pion I n g e m a r Johansson knocked out Eddie Machen, then No. 1 challenger, Sept. 14, and last week Willie Bes- manoff knocked out eighth- ranked Alex Miteff of Argen tina. Pastrano Ahead j Pastrano, of Miami, Fla., was ahead on points when Referee Jack Hart stopped the fight at the end of the fifth round at Harringay Arena be cause of a two-inch cut over the American's left eye. London had butted Pastrano in the fourth. Pastrano, who at 189V was giving away 17Vfc pounds, ducked, rode with the punches and stung back with his left. But he lacked the power to deliver a decisive blow on London's big, inviting chin, and London hit his eye twice more before the fight was halted. Pastrano wept and his man ager, Angelo Dundee, was fur ious over the decision. "How can the referee tell whether my boy's hurt," said Dundee. "He ain't no doctor." But under British rules, the referee need not consult a doctor. ii MM WHO WAS THE FIRST PRO BASEBALL TEAM ?

DIAMOND LAKE RESORT We Will Close October 5 SPORTS Auburn Tops Grid Clubs In Defense New York-ftPD-Auburn, the 1957 major college offense leader, is off to a record breaking start this year, while Oklahoma and Army, peren nial leaders, are the early of fensive pace-setters. According to figures re leased today by the National Collegiate Athletic associa tion service bureau, Auburn's stout defense threw Tennes seee's attack for a total loss of 30 yards in their game last Saturday. Tennessee made 39 efforts to move the ball, gain ing 19 yards on three com pleted passes but losing 49 yards on 30 running attempts. Oklahoma, the country's most successful running outfit for more than a decade, turn ed to the air for 264 of its 599 yard total against West Virginia last Saturday. Last year the Sooners averaged only 63 passing yards per game, and they never exceed ed 250 yards in their 63-year history. Army also set an all-time school record for pass at tempts in its opener against South Carolina. The Cadets, who usually feature a ground attack, took 'to the air 28 times, three more than their previous high. Army's net of fense in the game was 529 yards. Following Oklahoma and Army in total offense are Michigan State, College of Pacific and Washington State. Mississippi State holds the lead in forward pass defense, and Illinois is first in punting. In individual statistics, Dick Bass of College of Pacific has taken the early lead in total offense and rushing offense. A 189-pound junior halfback, Bass has run for 427 yards in his first two games while re ceiving just one pass for 52 yards. Reech Whitley of Virginia ranks first in forward passing, recording 25 completions in 52 attempts for 343 yards and two touchdowns, and Ken tucky's Calvin Bird heads the pass receivers with 13 catches. Pro Sports TV To Be Probed Washington - (UPD - Another congressional committee is peering into the business as pects of professional sport. Chairman Oren Harris, D. Ark., disclosed Tuesday the House commerce committee is investigating the pay tele vision plans of big league baseball and football teams. He said his committee plans to open hearings on the matter next January, and possibly earlier. 23 Tilts Billed On Cards' Tour St. Louis - (UPD The St. Louis Cardinals will play 23 games on their tour of the Pacific, 16 in Japan, the of ficial itinerary showed today. En route to Japan, the Red birds will play three games in Hawaii, and one each in Guam, Manila, Okinawa and Korea. The tour begins at noon Oct. 9, when the team and guests leave here. They will be joined here or in San Fran cisco by pitchers Lew Bur dette of the Milwaukee Braves and Bob Turley of the New York Yankees, along with Braves third baseman Eddie Mathews. These three will join the roster of the Hawaiian All Stars for the games in that area. The group is. due back in the United States on Nov. 18. Bruins Working On Extra Points Los Angeles (UPD Coach George Dickerson, outspoken opponent of the new point-after-touchdown rule,, today hoped to solve UCLA's con version problem before the Bruins meet Oregon State at Corvallis Saturday afternoon. The Bruins have scored four touchdowns in two games this season but have not been able to make a single PAT. For that matter, neither has Oregon State in two conver sion attempts. Dickerson worked on the problem Tuesday in PAT drills for his squad. Myrtle Point, Ore. John Koch, Mgr. Medford Could Give Bucs 1st Real Test Marshfield high's Pirates, with three one-sided victories tucked away this season, are still looking for their first real test. That's the word from Coos Bay. And the ques tion of Medford fans is: "Will the Black Tornado provide the Buccaneers that test?" Medford is host to the Marshfield eleven for an 8 pjn. Friday encounter. State champion in 1956 after being co-titlist in 1955, the Pirates were edged from District 5 honors last season. This year they are back with what appears to be another powerhouse. The Bucs are listed as basically a young aggeragtion with lots of po tential and they are said to be unpredictable in any par ticular game because of rela tive inexperience. Yet, Marshfield is rated No. 2 in the state in both coaches' and press polls. Med ford with more lettermen, lots of depth and hard work ing squad, has No. 3 ranking in both polls. In the point to tals, resulting from the vot ing, the Pirates are listed with a substandard margin over the Tornado. Comparative scores, for what their worth, also give Medford the underdog role in the hassle. The Tornado de feated David Douglas 19 to 0. Hillsboro beat the Scots 13 to Athletics Get Bella From N.Y. Kansas City, Mo.-(UPD-The Kansas City Athletics have completed an earlier trade with the New York Yankees by buying a "real good pros pect" - minor leaguer John (Zeke) Bella. Acquisition of the 27-year- old Bella Tuesday night was the final chapter of a deal that sent Murry Dickson to the Yankees in late August. Bella, who plays first base or the outfield, hit .399 with Denver this season. LOST FOR SEASON Moscow, Idaho MUPD- The University of Idaho Vandals, who play the University of Utah at Salt Lake City Satur day, have lost second string halfback Bob Eyler for the season. Coach Skip Stahley said Eyler, who suffered two broken bones in last week's game, will be hospitalized for at least four weeks. The coach did not name a prob able replacement.

In addition to licking David Douglas, Medford won 21 to 7 from North Salem. The Marshfield club, al though lighter than in the past several years, makes up for weight lack with a high geared T formation offense. Crossbucks, quarter back options, pitchouts, and belly series and veer plays are util ized by the Pirates. In the Hillsboro tussle, Marshfield showed that it made its passes click, along with the strong running game, with quarter back Bob Burke usually on the throwing end. Left halfback Walt Hunter is the only regular returnee on both offense and defense last year. Last year and again this year, he is leading ground gainer and this fall he leads the club in scoring with eight touchdowns. Only returning defensive regular is fullback Les Golbeck. Following in the footsteps of brothers Jim and Jack is another Shanley on the Marshfield aggregation. He is Dick Shanley who plays be hind regular Gary Rossi at right half and should see con siderable service. The Buccaneer roster shows 16 men with at least some varsity experience. Medford goes back into game action after having an open date last Friday. Coach Fred Spiegelberg, crossing his fingers, said that the Tornado squad is in good shape except for a few colds. Practices have concentrat ed on team activity with scrimmage and dummy scrim mages rather than drill in groups according to position. The Tornado has sought thereby to perfect its own of fense while setting up de fense against the anticipated Marshfield attack. DEER HUNTERS!
