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.

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. It kept him out

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.

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.

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

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.

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 other games this season
the Bucs drubbed Klamath
Falls 47 to 0 and Sweet Home,
48 to 7. 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

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 against the anticipated
Marshfield attack.
