Morris (Looks To
IPro Season Again
"I'm looking forward to it
again."
That's what Jack Morris,
ex-Medford high star, had to
say yesterday when quizzed
concerning his professional
football plans.
Morris, one of Medford
Black Tornado's all-time
greats, was a defensive back
this fall for the Los Angeles
Rams of the professional Na
tional Football league.
The gridder, who is taking
It easy until after the holi
days, has been a visitor at the
home of his sister, Mrs. R. J.
JACK MORRIS
Eye More Pro Ball v
Camden, Gold Hill. Jack re
ported that he and his wife
will spend Christmas at the
home of Mrs. Morris's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Teague, Roseburg.
Morris said that he plans
to "beat the brush" for a job
after the holidays, looking
around western Oregon, in
cluding Eugene and Medford.
He stated that he had decided
against going to school this
winter. Jack has a bachelor
of science degree from Uni
versity of Oregon where he
was varisty football and track
man for three seasons each.
Strictly Defense
The ex-Tornado was in the
line-up in all 18 of the game's
the Rams played this season,
starting in all but two of
them. He reported that h e
went the full route on defense
in 14 contests. Morris said
that he did not see a bit of
offensive duty and was not
taught the offensive plays. He
worked on defense the entire
time, indicating that is what
the Rams had in mind when
he was drafted.
Jack's main opportunities
to carry the ball were o.n punt
returns and pass intercept
Ions. . He snared six enemy
aerials during the season, run
ning one of them, against the
Baltimore Colts for a touch
down. Morris said he was "real

fortunate" in avoiding injur
ies, not even getting a hard
bruising. He pointed out that
defensive backs "don't take
the beating" those on offense
do.
Seeks Business Chance
About the possibility of
coaching when his pro foot
ball days are over, Morris said
he in uncertain. "I'm kind of
looking for a business oppor
tunity," he stated.
Because of Jack's age, his
years as a pro gridder may
not be many. He had four
years in the Air Force ahead
of his college varsity career
and as a rookie player this
season, Jack, at 26, was older
than some of the so-called
veterans. He said the average
age of Rams players was 25.
"I'd like to play a couple
or three more years,"" Morris
remarked. However, he in
dicated that a suitable busi
ness opportounity might short
en the length of his pro grid
career.
Jack said he would prob
ably spend most of the holi
day period with his sister.
Concerning his ties to this
community, Morris declared,
"I have a soft spot in my
heart for Medford." He finish
ed high school here in 1950.

Firing Of
Irish Coach
Hit Hard
South Bend, Ind. -PD- Joe
Kuharich will get first hand
information today about pros
pects for his first Notre Dame
football team, and it's likely
the outline will predict a
rocky path to heturn to unde
feated grid greatness.
Kuharich was to come to
the campus to interview the
assistants of the ousted Terry
Brennan and attend a press
luncheon to discuss the fu
ture. He'll probably also view
a few films of 1958 Irish
games.
But 'its unlikely the films
or the assistants will be able
to give him a bright picture
for his second tour as a col
lege coach. The , 1959 Irish
will be without 23 players
who were main cogs in the
1958 eleven which won 6 of
10 games, a record poor
enough to induce the dis
charge of Brennan.
Kuharich was to confer
with all of Brennan's helpers,
Among them were two for
mer college head coaches who
earlier were classed among
the contenders for the head
coaching job-Bernie Crim
mins, once head coach at In
diana, and Hugh Devore, head
coach of Dayton and the
Philadelphia Eagles before he
joined the Irish staff.
Firing Arouses Controversy
Meanwhile, the dismissal
of Brennan aroused consider
able controversy across ,the
nation. ,
At Baton Rogue, Paul Diet
zel of Louisiana State univer
sity, who was "Coach of the
Year" termed Notre Dame's
action a "disgrace to the
school."
Members of the Notre
Dame team in Santa Clara,
Calif., for the Shrine game
called the firing "rotten."
Kuharich quit the Washing
ton Redskins with four years
remaining under his five-year
contract in order to accept a
four year pact with the Irish
It was possible that he might
retain some of Brennan's as
sistants after today's inter
views, and if so, he might
name part of his staff at to
day's luncheon.
McLoughlin
Wins 32-12
McLoughlin seventh grad
ers held North Grants Pass
back with a tight defense and
ball-hawked its way to a 32-12
win yesterday in the Sojith
Grants Pass gymnasium.
. The Macs edged ahead dur
ing the first quarter with a
score of 4-3. The game was
tied 9 all at the half.
The local seventh-graders
went on to give it the big
push in the second half with
a good tight defense and re
peatedly snatching the ball
off the boards. The Macs
allowed North Grants Pass
only three points in the sec
ond half.

lowan Captain Non-Starter
But Inspirational
By ALEX KAHN
Pasadena, Calif.-UPI-A kid
from the toughest section of
Youngstown, Ohio, who be
came captain of the Iowa foot
ball team and then had to step
aside this season for a young
er player is the inspirational
leader of the Hawkeyes.
He is John Nocera who as a
sophomore started in the Rose
Bowl game two years ago
against Oregon State. But this
year against California he
may see the starting assign
ment go to rugged Don Horn.
"It's a thrill to be back for
my second Rose Bowl game
whether I get to start or not,"
Nocero said during a breather
between practice sessions at
the East Los Angeles Stadium.
Into Swing of It
"Everything seemed strange
two years ago. Iowa had nev
er been to a Rose Bowl game
and we didn't know what to
expect or how to get organ-
Ground Play
Advised for
California
San Francisco - (IIPD - Cali
fornia's best chance to beat
Iowa in the Rose Bowl on
Jan. 1 is to stick to the ground
game.
Take the words of quarter
back Nick Pietrosante of No
tre Dame and Coach Milton
Bruhn of Wisconsin.
They both participated in
games against the Hawkeyes
in which they lost in the last
half possibly .because they
didn't stick to the ground.
"That Iowa club has four
of the fastest halfbacks I ever
saw in my -life," said Pietro
sante, who was calling the
signals when his club got
licked, 31-21.
"But I don't think Iowa
was the strongest team we
met. I thought Purdue had a
better club.
Not Hot Defensively
"However, that Randy Dun
can is really something. And
he has great ends to catch
his passes.
"We found that you could
run against them, but if you
try to pass they have those
four speedy backs who pick
off you aerials. I think it will
be a high-scoring game. Iowa
doesn't have the greatest de
fense in the world and I think
it will be matter of which
team scores the most. But I
don't agree with those 18
point odds in any bowl game.
This one has to be closer than
that."
Bruhn, who had a fine year
at Wisconsin, agreed in most
instances with Pietrosante.
"We ran against them real
good," said Bruhn. "We had
a 9-0 lead at the half and we
might have won if we had
not booted a couple of good
chances to score. But they
came back the last half to
beat us 20-9.
Scoring Sets Them Afire
"They are an inspirational
football team. Once they
score, they just seem to catch
on fire and gain momentum
from there on in. They have
a fine ball club and espec
ially fine on offense." .
Piestrosante and Bruhn are
here as members of the East
team for the annual Shrine
classic next Saturday.

minute we stepped off the
plane.
"And when the school ar
ranged for our wives to go
along that really made it won

on the Iowa squad who is mar
ried. Coach Forest Evashev
ski insisted that the married
players should be permitted to
bring along their wives and
his views prevailed.
"You ask what sort of a
squad we have this year? It's
a team of young guys with

said. "It may sound a little
corny but it was desire that
made us a winning team. We
worked as a unit and no man
was out for personal glory.
' "See Randy Duncan over
there? He's always telling the
coaches to use Mitch Ogiego

times showing Mitch his pass
ing tricks. That's what ; I

for his playing time because
of the brilliance of Horn.
"That guy should be an All
