Penn State Knocks Pittsburgh Out of Grid Bowl Picture Br JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Rutgers bowed gracefully out of the post-season football bowl picture today and Pitts burgh was rudely bounced out as the hour for filling the last remaining bowl berths drew rapidly nearer. Pittsburgh, a Gator Bowl hopeful, became the main cas ualty of the Thanksgiving Day holiday when it blew a 14-0 half time lead and lost to old rival Penn State, 25-21. The defeat scratched the Pan thers from the list of teams being considered by the Gator Bowl committee at a special meeting today. Texas, impressive 27-0 vic tor over Texas A&M in the holiday's nationally - televised game, was on that list along with Mississippi, Florida, Van- Randy Duncan Big 10's Top All-Star Choice Chicago-TCPD-Iowa's Big Ten champions placed" only one man, quarterback Randy Dun can, on the All-Big Ten foot ball team picked for United Press International by the league's eoaches runner-up Wisconsin failed to win a posi tion and third place Ohio State got three spots. Duncan, the national leader in total offense and second in passing, was the leading choice of the coaches, one of two players placed on either the .first, second or third all conference team by the men tors. The only other pjayer to win mention on every bal lot was Purdue's giant tackle. Gene Selawski, who finished barely behind Duncan in the point totals. Nona Unanimous No player was a unanimous first team choice, but there was little difference of opin ion as to which 11 men were the best in the league. Ohio State's Bob White was placed at fullback, another Buckeye, Don Clark, made the team at halfback even though he was hampered by injury for a large part of the season, and the third Ohio State play er was tackle Jim Marshall. Illinois and Michigan State each grabbed two first team positions, with End Rich Kreitling and guard Bill Bur rell placing for the Illini and guard Ellison Kelly and end Sam Williams winning votes for the Spartans. The other all conference players were halfback Ron Burton of Northwestern and center Mike Svendsen of Minnesota. Prothro Spikes Move Rumors Corvallis-flJPfl-Oregon State football coach Tommy Prothro today spiked reports that he might head for another school, such as Duke or UCLA. "There's not a thing to it,' he said. Prothro said that when he came to Oregon State he said only that he wanted to be as sociated with a school which had a healthy, active athleic program. "My attitude hasn't changed . . ." he said. Prothro added, "after losing to arch-rival Oregon 20-0 there must be some OSC fans who would like to see me go. But I'm sorry to disappoint them, I'm staying. ra-MK CONCRETE Any Time Any Place Any Amount Delivered SP 2-5271 derbilt, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, and Alabama. Rutgers, with a perfect rec ord against college foes this year, withdrew from bowl consideration by notifying the Blue Grass Bowl at Louisville, Ky., Dec. 13 it does not wish to play a post-season game. Cotton, Sugar Bowls Open In addition to the Gator and Blue Grass berths, other choice spots still open include the visiting team vs. Texas Christian in the Cotton Bowl and the rival for Louisiana State in the Sugar Bowl. The Air Force Academy could very well be the Cotton Bowl team, if it can complete an unbeaten season by making good as severf-point favorite over Colorado on Saturday. SMU, a one-point underdog against Texas Christian Satur day, is a leading candidate for the Sugar Bowl spot along with Mississippi and Clem son. Georgia Tech, included on the Gator Bowl list, is only even money against Georgia in their "old rivalry" game on Saturday. Other feature games of the last big Saturday of the season find Auburn picked by 7 over Alabama, Houston 7 over Texas Tech, Vanderbilt 7 over Tennessee, Notre Dame 10 over Southern California, Arizona State 14 over Mar quette, Florida 14 over Miami Fla., Oklahoma 19 over Okla homa State and Rice 4 over Baylor. Army is an eight-point choice over Navy for their annual classic. Both teams were due to arrive today in Philadelphia, scene of Satur day's clash. Dick Bass of College of Pa cific marked the holiday by becoming college football's first "triple crown" winner since Byron (Whizzer) White of Colorado in 1937. Scoring 14 points and gaining 130 yards In a 52-6 fout of Fresno State, Bass clinched national honors in scoring 116 points, rushing 1,361 yards, a total offense 1,440 yards. Earl Buchholz In Tennis Final Sydney, Australia -(UPD- The scheduled clash between the junior tennis champions of the United States and Aus tralia won't come off today because the Yank has bigger things in mind. Earl Buchholz, 18-year-old U. S. and Wimbledon junior champ, had been slated to face Aussie junior ace Marty Mulligan in a semi-final match of juniors singles today in the New South Wales champion ships. But that was before Buchholz went on a rampage in the regular men's competi tion. Buchholz gained the men's final Thursday by whipping Roy Emerson of Australia, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4. To rest ud for his final men's match Saturday against Wimbledon champion Ashley Cooper of Australia, Buchholz has withdrawn from today's clash with Mulligan. Not very many people think the St. Louis "kid" can beat Cooper, but even the Aussies were singing his praises today. DUCK!

McANDREWS RD. 4 Seniors May Start For Pilots Portland -A senior-studded University of Portland basket ball team opens its 1958-59 campaign Wednesday, Dec. 3, against a strong Brigham Young contingent at Port land's newly-renovated Paci fic-International pavilion. Four seniors are expected to be in the starting lineup gainst the Cougars; forwards LElmen (Red) Bloedel, 6-4; Dick Jolley, 6-1, and guards Wally Panel and Jim Armstrong, 6-0. Sophomore Jim Altenhofen, 6-5 center, is the other prob able starter. The Pilots figure to be a "running" ball club due to the lack of height and the pres ence of "small men" Panel, Armstrong and Jolley, who are expected to share most of the scoring honors this year. One, Two. In Point Armstrong and Jolley ranked 1-2 in point produc tion last year and Panel topped the scoring statistics as a sophomore. Other Portland team mem bers are sophomores Bob Bra dach and Chuck Rogers, 6-6 centers; Bob Hevener, 6-3 for- w a r d; Doug Stewart, 6-1 guard, and forward Roland Carpenter, 6-5 forward. Portland competes Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5-6, in the Idaho State hoop tournament, featuring the Pilots, Idaho State, -Montana State and Utah State. The Pilots are scheduled to play Montana State in the first game on Fri day. The Pilots entertain Pacific Lutheran and University of Alaska at the P-l, Dec. 10 and 14, respectively. Army-Navy Pass Duel Anticipated Philadelphia - (DPD - Army, and Navy are expected to engage in an aerial circus when they meet for the 59th time Saturday on the near- frozen turf of Municipal Sta dium in a nationally televised battle. Both teams have displayed fine passing attacks this sea son and have given every in dication they plan to stick to their overhead game for the service classic. Army, formerly noted for its crunching ground maneu- ers, will enter Saturday's game as the nation's No. 1 passing team. The Cadets have scored 13 of their 16 touch downs through the air this season while going unbeaten in eight games. ' ' Quarterback Joe Caldwell and halfback Bob Anderson both are excellent passers, but Army Coach Earl Blaik still feels Navy has a better air attack centered around quar terback Joe Tranachini. "Navy has the best passing attack we will see all sea son," Blaik confided earlier this week. The Army mentor also is fearful of Middie halfback Joe Bellino, labeling him "the best back Navy has had in years." However, the oddsmakers believe Blaik's fears are un founded. They installed the Cadets as eight-point favorites earlier this week and haven't revised their quotation. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE United Press International Gordie Howe's holiday snip ing enabled the Detroit Red Wings to tie the Montreal Ca nadiens for first place in the National Hockey league. The veteran right wing scored twice in the final seven minutes to give Detroit a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night while the Canadiens edged the Chicago Black Hawks, 2-1 on Bernie Geoffrion's sec ond period tally. - In another . holiday game, the Boston Bruins moved to within one point of the co leaders by knocking off the New York Rangers 3-1. AMERICAN LEAGUE Jack Adams, general mana ger of the Detroit Red Wings, called Claude La Forge a "fine prospect" when the roo kie left wing was farmed out to Hershey of the American Hockey league two weeks ago. La Forge's return to the Red Wings may not be too far distant for the 22-year-old al ready has "found" himself at Hershey. He tallied one goal and two assists Thursday night in leading the Bears to a comeback 5-3 victory over the Providence Reds in the league's only holiday game. SIGNS REDBIRD PACT St. Louis -(UPD- Hank Kuhl- mann, a rangy catcher from the University of Missouri, signed a $30,000 contract Thursday with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was assigned to Rochester of the International League. MEDFCRDvTRIBUN New Look Oregon Ducks Play OSC Quint Monday University of Oregon, Eu gene Oregon's "new look" Webfoots, shy on heighth but probably as experienced as the 158 squad which finished 13-11, open against Oregon State's Beavers in Corvallis Monday in a non-conference hoop contest. Despite the informality of it all, the first of three be tween the bitter rivals is ex pected to shed pertinent light on the Duck's basketball for tunes during the coming cam paign.. They follow the OSC lidlifter with five straight in tersectional home games. Missing from the Webfoot squad will be their two high est scorers of last winter, Charlie Franklin and Hal Duffy, but Coach Steve Belko will have three experienced veterans in the starting line- SL Hawks Widen Gap United Press International Whether it's new coach Ed MacAuley, or just the old scor ing punch of Bob Pettit, the St. Louis Hawks now are opening up a sizeable lead in the Western division of '"the National Basketball associa tion. The Hawks came through with their fourth victory in five starts under MacAuley when the whipped the Syra cuse Nats, 107-98, in St. Louis Thursday. And leading the way was Pettit with 42 points, one night after scoring 31. With the other Western teams idle on the holiday, the Hawks now hold a three-game lead over second-place Detroit. In the only other game played Thursday, the Boston Celtics led most of the way to beat the Philadelphia War riors, 107-90, in Philadelphia, and now trail the Eastern di vision leading New York Knicks by just a game and a half. Bob Cousy led the Celts with 31 points while Woody Sauldsberry had 25 for the Warriors. Lions Nose Green Bay Detroit -(UPD Coach George Wilson admitted his Detroit Lions weren't as sharp as usual in their Thanksgiving Day battle with the Green Bay Packers but quickly pointed out, "I'd rather win a bad game than lose a good one." The Lions gained only 194 yards against the Packers in the nationally - televised bat tie but still posted a 24-14 victory over the- National Football league cellar-dwelr lers. ' Green Bay, which has only one victory and a tie in 10 games, will get the first choice as the last place team in the league. The other 10 NFL teams were idle Thursday but re turn to action Sunday.

Barring an unexpected change of strategy, Belko, starting his third year as the Oregon hoop boss, will go with guards Bud Kuykendall and Chuck Rask, plus for wards Dale Herron, Stu Rob ertson and Denny Strickland. Kimpton to Play Kuykendall, Rask and Her ron are the trio which con tributed so much to the Web foot's exciting success finish of last year. Robertson was a stellar reserve and Strickland comes from the strong frosh club. It comes as no surprise that the Webfoots, for the sake of a balanced line-up, will have no "center." Herron, Strick land and Robertson, all rising to 6-; are the tallest members of the squad, probably the shortest at Oregon in recent years. But Kuykendall, a deadly outside shooter and two-year veteran, and Rask, the bril liant sophomore of a year ago, give the Ducks two of the best starting guards in the PCC. And Butch Kimpton, an other of the Webfoot's highly rated sophs, is expected to see his share of the action, too. The Ducks follow the OSC game with two in McArthur Court against Brigham Young, then meet Wichita on Dec. 12, and Montana on Dec. 22 and 23.
