Wisdom off Solomon CouOd
He Needed in Bowl Choice
Br HAL WOOD
San Francisco -OD- The
wisdom of a Solomon will be
needed to pick the Pacific
Coast Conference representa
tive to the Rose Bowl if Cali
fornia should lose to Stanford
Saturday. And if Southern
California, Washington State
and Oregon State win their
contests.
Contrary to a lot of think
ing, California is not a shoo
in for the Rose Bowl assign
ment, win or lose.
If the Golden Bears win,
they get the automatic nom
ination. If they lose, while
the other clubs in contention
win, the standings will be
like this: California. 5-2, USC
5-2, "WSC 6-2 and OSC 6-2.
Seven Points
Will Mr. Solomon please
take it from there, and take
these things into considera
tion:
1. There is some claim that
victories over Idaho," which
count in the Pacific Coast
California's Bears
Leading in Offense
Los Angeles -CFfl- The Uni
versity of California and the
man expected to put them in
the Rose Bowl Jan. 1 Joe
Kapp dominated Pacific
Coast conference statistics to
day. California led the league
In total offense, with a 315.3
yard average per game, and
In rushing with 236.3.
Kapp, the versatile quarter
back is a cinch to claim the
Individual total offense crown
with 1131 yards, Including
540 by rushing. The rushing
yardage is a record for a
Coast league quarterback, but
: Kapp has stiff competition
for that crown from Willie
West, of Oregon, who has
gained 436 yards with two
games to one for Kapp re
maining. .
Trailing California in rush
ing were Southern California,
with a 209 average, and Ore
gon, with 200. In total offense,
Washington State is second
with 313.2, followed by Ore
gon, with 97.2.
Oregon held its position as
the top team in total defense,
permitting an average of
218.7 yards per game, against
220 for Washington State and
251.6 by Oregon State.
California was eighth in de
fense yielding 316.4 yards per
game, slightly more than its
offensive output. ,
UO, OSC Top Defense
In rushing defense, Oregon
and Oregon State ran one-
two, yielding 145.5 and 153.1
yards, respectively, followed
by Idaho, 158.7.
Washington State ranked
first in both pass offense and
defense for the second week
in a row. Its passing attack
gained an average of 147.2
yards per game, while the
Cougars limited opponents to
56.9 yards per game.
Stanford, the worst of the
conference teams defensively,
held second in passing offense
with 144.6, followed by UCLA
with 112.1. In pass defense,
Oregon was second, giving up
73.2 yards per game, and
Southern California third
90.1 yards per game.
Stanford's passing stars,
Bob Nicolet and Dick Norman
rated first and second places
in that department, with Nico
let gaining 641 yards on 68
completions, and Norman '561
on 63 aerials. Kapp ranked
third, completing 52 passes
for 591.
Chris Burford, another
Stanford player, led in pass
receptions with 41 for 433
yards, and threatened a seven-year-old
record held by Ed
Barker of Washington State.

DRESS RIGHT you can't afford not to
conference standings, do not
count in the Rose Bowl race,
as the Southern schools do
not play the Vandals. Elimin
ating Idaho, that would make
all four records 5-2.
2. Tradition says that, if
two teams are tied for the
lead, the winner of the game
between these two clubs goes
to the Rose Bowl. But in this
situation there is no winner:
USC beat Oregon State, Ore
gon State beat California, Cal
beat Washington State and
Washington State beaL. Ore
gon State. So they all, more
or less, beat each other.
3. But California and USC
each beat two of the three
opponents in this round-robin.
Oregon State , and Wash
ington State won only one
game in this competition.
4. Faculty representatives
from all nine schools are eli
gible to vote on the Rose
Bowl team-and it doesn't nec
essarily have to be the cham
pion. However, the North
holds the balance of power,
with five schools, against four
in California. They have been
Sticking together quite strong
ly during the break-up of the
conference.
WSC Longest Absent
5. If the balloting ends in
a tie, the PCC rules' call for
the team that hasn't been
there for the longest time to
go. In this case, if there was
a tie involving all four schools
then Washington State would
be the winner, because' the
Cougars haven't been there
since 1931.
6. Off their records against
Oregon State and Washington
State, the other two teams
in contention, it would ap
pear Southern California and
California have the best
chance.
7. If there is a tie between
these two schools, then Cali
fornia would be the logical
choice because the Golden
Bears beat the Trojans and
the Bears haven't been to the
Rose Bowl since 1949.

stead of Texas A. and M. who
had a hand or foot in scoring
22 points as he led the Aggies
to a 28-21 upset of Rice last
Saturday, took over today as
the leader in history's hottest
battle for the college football
ground-gaining championship.
Milstead rolled up 185
yards, mostly by passing,
against Rice to seize the No.
1 total offense spot with a
total of 1189 yards, only sev

of Iowa.
Kapp Close

of West Virginia at 1127,
Dick Bass of College of Pa
cific at 1102, and Billy Hols

Bass remains the rushing
leader, having gained 1037
of his 1102 total by the over
land route.
Ralph Hunsaker of Arizona
is the leading passer with 92
completions against 91 for
Duncan, but yardage lost in
rushing keeps him out of the
leaders on total offense.
