Coach Varney Corey of Ashland said that his club is working to "cure all the ills of last week" when the Griz zlies fell 33 to 7 to Ashland. The Grizzlies are seeking means to contain the Crater offense and have given some concentration to pass defense. Corey has ben experimenting with some player adjustments in effort to boost the threat of his team. Kiser Injured There is a" chance that Art Kiser, defensive lineman, may be unable to see action.

""T Your General Electric Dealer Rebuilding Theme for SO Raiders Ashland Rebuilding is the theme this week as Southern Oregon college prepares for the Oregon College of Educa tion Wolves in Oregon Colle giate conference football com petition at Monmouth on Saturday. After the devastating en counter with Oregon Tech last week, the Raiders of SOC have to just start start from scratch, according to the coaching staff. Coach Al Akins has begun to experiment with different units in an attempt to come up with a consistent squad that can get started on offense and maintain the line on defense. Ray Weinhold, Dick Smith, and Herb Chapman are still on the injured list and hopes for their return this week are quite dim. Weinhold has shoulder trouble, Smith a cracked rib, and Chapman a cracked cheek bone. The design of things thus far in the Raider grid season has shown that one week the men of SOC get wiped out and then bounce back to win the next week. Maurer, Brown Lead Larry Mauer- still leads the Rainiers in rushing with 250 yards for five games while Jack Brown leads in passing with' 45 completions on 82 at tempts or 708 yards. Looking on team totals to date, the Raiders have 811 yards passing and 508 yards rushing while the opposition has 705 passing and 1082 yards on the ground for a very evident margin over SOC. Overall the Raiders have had the ball for 307 plays and they have totaled .1319 yards as opposed to the oppositions 296 plays and 1787 yards. In scoring the Raiders have 84 points and the opposition nearly double that with 160 ' Jim McAbee continues to lead the pass receivers with 16 receptions for 248 yards with Maurer second with 13 receptions" for 148 yards. Mc Abee has two touchdowns on aerials and Maurer one. Steiger Cog la Cougar eratiohs FIGHTS Holyoke, Mass. OJPD Chico Vejar, 161, Stamford, Conn., knocked out Lew Harvey, 161, New York (2).

Op By RUSS NIELSEN Pullman - (UPD - The gloom was heavy on the Washington State college campus that summer day last year when Bill' Steiger suffered a severe neck injury while swimming, For Steiger was one of the finest football players in the school's h i s t o r y. He was counted upon to lead the Cou gars to a good and perhaps even great season last fell. The 195-pound six-foot end had been listed high on the various honor teams in 1956. He snared 39 passes for 607 yards and five touchdowns. But that neck injury re ceived while diving through an inflated inner tube put him in a cast for weeks and it appeared his football ca reer was over because of the risk of re-injuring himself. "Not so," said Steiger, "111 play again, and wbaf s more I intend to try my luck with the pros." It seemed an optimistic pre diction, but it was true. His injury healed well. He sat out the 1957 season but this year is operating in his usual efficient fashion. He is the "man who does everything" on a team boasting the na tion's top passing quarterback and receivers. Coach Jim Sutherland had so many fine ends this year he decided to switch the, ver satile Steiger to halfback. He ran well, but early injuries to ends Gail Cogdill and Don El- lingsen cut the depth at that position, so Steiger moved back to the line again. He plays either position with nearly equal finesse. He is particularly dangerous run ning from punt formation. He did it five times last week as Washington State upset Ore gon, and one such run was a key play in the game's only touchdown drive. On defense, he consistently knifed through from his left corner position to stop Ore gon ball carriers. Such performances by the inspirational senior from Olympia are accepted , almost as commonplace by Cougar fans. He was a main factor in putting the Cougars back on the Rose Bowl trail, and he will deserve much of the credit if they stay there. Eisenhower's Son Due For White House Duty Washington-(UPD-Maj. John Eisenhower, the President's son, is beginning his Ihird tour of duty at the , White House. Young Eisenhower will help Brig. Gen. Andrew J. Good paster, the President's staff secretary, on liaison activities connected with national security. Pilney Selected Coach of Week New Orleans, La. -(UPD -He once participated in one of college football's most mem orable come-from-behind vic tories and now tells the story frequently to inspire his own players. For a while this season, though, it looked like he might have to think up a new "line" v as his team lost its first four games. But there's something about the sight of a service acad emy team on the opposing side of the field which in spires the men of Tulane, and so Andy Pilney's Green Wave underdogs upset Navy 14-6, and won him the United Press International Coach - of - the -Week award.
