High Point
Men Listed
New York - (LTD When it
comes to hanging up the
points on the scoreboard,
three lads any coach would
love to have are Bill Austin
of Rutgers, Johnny Sheppard
of Florida State and Ben Gross
of Kansas State.
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.

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.

mer all-around Perm athlete,

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."
