They're college football's leading specialists in touch down production, extra point kicking and field goal booting. Austin, sidelined with two broken bones in one hand, is so far out in front in a cate gory known as "touchdown responsibility" he'll probably be the 1953 champ even if he doesn't play another minute on offense. Sheppard, a senior half back, is "automatic Jack" on those conversion points. He has gicked 18 of 20, strictly pro-style. Gross leads the na tion in field goals with a total of five. Austin Is Point Leader Austin, a versatile tailback in Rutgers' modernized single wing system, has been respon sible for more touchdowns and more total points than any player in the nation. He has scored 11 touch downs, pitched eight touch down passes, scored six con version points and passed for eight conversion points. That adds up to 128. His nearest ri val is T-quarterback Billy Holsclaw of Virginia Tech with 84 points on three touch downs running, nine passing, two conversion points scored, and 10 conversion points by passing. Dick Thornton, Northwest- ern's dandy sophomore quar terback, is third in the nation in "point responsibility" with a total of 79. Thornton has scored five touchdowns, pass ed for six, scored five con version points and passed for eight more. Medfcriw&Tribuni SIPflDIKTS back Calvin Campbell, a boy the pros have their eyes on and Dick Olivas, a short but able quarterback. Ahead of the backfield is a tough and rugged line. 6-2 Flier Mark Campbell and Olivas were injured in the Oregon Tech Flier game last Saturday. And their loss was keenly felt as OTI's Owls won 53 to 12. But both stars are expected to be able to play today and to give the Red Raiders of the Rogue trouble in their ambi tion to even the score for a 40 to 25 setback at the hands of the Fliers as the season got underway. Moffett comes here with a 6-2 record having lost only to San Quentin prison and to OTI this fall. The Raiders will have Lance Locke or Jack Brown guiding the offense with Del Brood, Laval Meunier, Larry Maurer, George Juveland and Rick Herman among those handling backfield chores. Troy Bellah, tackle injured in the Seattle Rambler game, is still a question mark and Marion Jack and Neil Green may. divide the duties for the Raiders in his place. Raider Coach Al Akins has agreed to walk back to Ash land if his team wins. Oregon State Rated Above Stanford; UofWoverCal San Francisco -(LTD- Uni versity of California's Rose Bowl Express, rolling along in high gear, has two bridges to cross before coach P e te Elliott will talk about a New Year's day clash against Iowa. "First, we meet Washing ton on Saturday," said El liott, "and then we tangle with Stanford the following week. "The only thing I'll admit about the Rose Bowl is that we are in danger of making it." The belief in the Northwest today is that Washington will knock off the Golden Bears in their clash at Seattle on Saturday. This could result in a four-way tie for first place. Right now California has a 4-1 record, while Wash ington State, Oregon State and Southern California are 4-2. Oregon State plays hapless Stanford Saturday and is fig ured to win easily; Washing ton State steps outside the conference to tangle with Col lege of Pacific and USC is idle. Other Opinions Outside of Northern Calif ornia, there is strong feeling that the best team in the con ference isn't at Berkeley. "We think we have the strongest team in the PCC as of this date." says Dick Fry of the Washington State staff. Dick Templeton, noted coach and sports authority, says USC has the "finest ma terial and maybe the best team" in the conference. Elliott thinks maybe Wash ingto is the club to fear, al though the Huskies have a 1-4 record in the PCC.

Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press Per Cent; Head Gear date dean at Los Angeles State College and chairman of the Football Fatalities Com mittee of the American Foot ball Coaches .association. Figures compiled by Dr. Eastwood recorded 12 deaths due to football play up to Nov. 6, as compared to 16 fatalities last year at the same time. He pointed out that three of this year's death's were in sandlot play while last year at the same time there were none in that category. Dr. Eastwood said that of all the direct fatalities report ed over the past 26 years, 23 per cent of them were sandlot deaths. High school fatalities this year were listed as eight, as compared to 13 last year. There were no semi-pro foot ball deaths this year up to the present time while last year there was one. In college ranks, there was one fatality this year while last year there were two. ' Pointing to the chief factor in football deaths, Dr. East wood said: "All but one of the fatali ties were caused by injuries to the head and neck of the players." Dr. Eastwood said that the American Football Coaches association had long been cam paigning for more improve ments in head gear to elimi nate that cause of fatal in juries, especially among high school players. New York -EPD- It is ut terly impossible to make a sound betting "line" in pro football, Baltimore Colt Gen eral Manager Lon Kellett said today in explaining the week ly wave up "upsets." Kellett, quite naturally, won't talk points or betting. To pro football men this would be akin to J. Edgar Hoover praising John Dilling er. But he will talk, and at length, on why some teams which are rated underdogs come along to bounce the sup posed favorite on their col lective ears. Maybe you have wondered why, for instance, the New York Giants were 10 point underdogs against the mighty Cleveland Browns and three point underdogs against the Colts on successive week ends -and won both games. Or why in 19 of the 42 pro games to date the underdog has risen up to flatten the favorite. Gives Five Reasons There are, to quote the for mer all-around Perm athlete, no less than five reasons. As he sees it: Corvallis, Ore.- (LTD - Coach Tommy Prothro figures his Oregon State Beavers will have to improve their passing attack by Saturday. Buy At Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues, Drain Til 727 W. McAndrews Ph. SP 2-4107 1. All the teams actually are very evenly matched. 2. No team is anywhere near 10 points better than another. 3. One mistake can turn the whole tide in such cases. 4. An injury to a key man always alters the whole set up. 5. No team can stay men tally "up" week after week. "People simply don't rea lize the great emotional seiz of pro football,". Kellett says. "They figure that the col leges have a lock on firing up players so. that they play better than they know how. "Actually," he added em phatically, "there is even more psychological impact in pro football than there is in the college game. We have to- get our boys 'up' every week. There are no 'breath ers' in this game of ours. We can't let down one single week. If we do, we've had it, believe me." Crowd Givei Lift As an example, he points to the Colt situation in Balti more. "The closest colleges are Navy, at Annapolis, and the University of Maryland, right outside of Washington," he explained. "So in Baltimore it's 'our Colts' and the ball club reacts to this attitude. They get a real lift out of a home crowd and naturally play better." The slightest letdown is enough to spell the difference between victory and defeat, Kellett analyzed. "Look at our team last sea son," he pointed out. "We lost three games in a total of less than three minutes. Detroit beat us in the last 48 sec onds; Green Bay defeated us with 29 seconds to play, and isan rrancisco Dear, us wren 1 46 seconds to play."
