Quarterback Will Feel Pressure tiy DON BECKER Berkeley-flJPB-There will be plenty of pressure on Califor nia's quarterback Larry Par que when the Bears open their season against Washing on State in Spokane Satur day night. . Parque is the inexperienced unknown quantity who will be attempting to fill the shoes of the incomparable Joe Kapp, since graduated. Last year, with Kapp, the Bears shocked the experts by racking up a 7-3 mark and going to the Rose Bowl. With the exception of Kapp and Jack Hart, a slick run ning halfback, the whole team Is returning. ' Bear Coach Pete Elliott says, the Bears can repeat their Pacific Coast conference crown if they get good quar- terbacking. So . the job is squarely in' the hands of Par que, a 20 year old, 195 pound junior who was Kapp's No. 1 replacement last season. Par que is strong and rated good on defense. Proof Needed In Elliott's split-T system, the quarterback carries most of the offensive load, and Parque will have to prove himself as a passer and a run er under game fire. If Parque can't make it, then- Elliott will call on Wayne Crow, who lettered at left half last season. Crow has been hampered by injuries this fall but is expected to be ready for the Cougars. He is l good runner and passer but has never played the position before. Still, he could take over the first string job be fore the season is too old. The Bears figure to get a good est Saturday against the Cougars. "We destroyed their Rose Bowl chances last -year and you can bet they will be out to . jet even," says Eljjott. The blond Bear mentor said Washington State will be pre senting a more balanced at tack than last season when Bobby Newman and Company put their aerial circus on dis play. The Bears will again be predominantly, a running team and they have an abun dance of good backs. Grover Garvin, a 190 -pound swifue, and Walt Arnold, a powerful 218 pounder who can also run, will handle the nalfbacK posts. Billy Patton, a fierce blocker and solid defensive worker, will work from the fullback, spot. Speedy Help Behind these ' men, -1 the Bears have depth in halfbacks Steve Pates, John Blaylock and soDh soeedster Bob Wills, a 9.8 sprinter. Dave Maggard, a 220 pound fullback, will sDell Patton. The Calif ornians have real strength up front having lost snly one second string tacKie from last season's first two units. ; Eliott has been working on a rock-ribbed defense this f all and he seems to have the tools. The veteran line will prob ably be composed of Terry Jones at center; Fete uomoto and Jeff Snow at guards; Pat Newell and Frank Sally at tackles; and Skip Huber and Gael Barsotti at ends. Only BarsottL who sat out a year after transferring from San Diego State, was not a first stringer last year. And behind these men, El liott has plenty of good re placements. The schedule: - Sept. 19: Washington State at SDokane: Sept. 25: Iowa; Oct. 3: at Texas; Oct. 10: No tre Dame; Oct. 17: At UCLA; Oct. 24: Oregon State; Oct. 31: USC; Nov. 7: At Oregon; Nov. 14: Washington; wov. zi: Standford.

The 8 p.m. ruckus will open the District 5B slates for both schools. At St. Mary's coach Bill McKibbin has given a bit more attention to defense this week than the Crusaders placed in preseason drills.

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY SINCE 1810 Frazier The tutor reported that Alex Mete, a halfback last year, had returned to the squad but suffered a back in jury the first time he packed the ball. Otherwise, he said, there were no serious ailments among the parochial school players. . . " Squad Bigger . "We're already for them," Coach Don Moore said in ex pressing the feeling of the Talent Bulldogs. : "The kids are up for it," he stated, Moore, who said he felt the Bulldogs did real good in a 19- to 0 losing cause to A-2 Eagle Point last week end, re ported that he had a tittle bigger squad to work with this week. That fact, he point ed out, has helped the spirit a bit. Twenty-four men are now on the squad. , - - In preparation for St, Mary's, Moore reported, Tal ent has. been working on "just the basic stuff." Talent will have some new blood in the tussle, he said. Among the late starters for Bulldog drills who- should see quite a bit of duty are Jerry Moore and Larry Walk er at guards, Bob Dickinson at end, and Bob Jacobs and Dave Grimes in the backfield. Overlooked in pre-game men tions last week was Doyle Leek, a guard, who played most of the way against the Eagles and likely will start this Friday. Portland State Upset Minded Portland -""Portland State goes gunning for an upset win over traditional cross-town rival Lewis and Clark Fridav night in the second annual ViFi game at Multnomah sta dium. , The Vikings, in their first season under head coach Hugh Smithwick, just missed stopping the Pioneers last sea son by the narrow margin of 35 seconds, as LC tallied the winning touchdown in a 12-7 victory with that amount of time remaining in the game. . PSC, which wound up with a record of four wins and five losses a year ago, will pin its upset hopes on an experi enced, tough line and the passing of senior quarterback Ward Savles and the runnintr of junior halfback Henry Matias. I Sayles, who completed 35 passes last fall, and Matias, the Viks' third-leading ground gainer in 1958, occupy key roles in Smithwick's version of the T-formatioh. Their starting mates in the backfield will probably be sophomore halfback Gary Hamblet and junior fullback Ken Hum phrey. , Standouts up front for the Vikings are fends Sam Rob erts, two-time all-conference" choice and the nation's tenth leading small college pass re ceiver last year, and Bob Grant, tackle Bob Wheeler, another two-time all-conference selection, and center Mickey Gray.

The former Syracuse All- America almost carried Cleve land to the Eastern division title last season when he paced the league in rushing with a record march of 1,527 yards in 257 carries and tied the touchdown record with 18. : In the club's first five ex hibition games this year, Brown, who was-used spar ingly to allow testing of the rookie crop, accounted for seven of the 11 Cleveland touchdowns.

Howton, among the top league receivers with a mark of ,5,581 yards and 43 touch downs in seven seasons with the Packers, will be coupled with fellow Texan Ray Ren fro as the prime iiass targets. ' The big question -iark for Cleveland this year is the line, particularly on defense. It leaked a high tide of 217 points last season and was marked for high priority at tention in training camp this year. If the men up front come through, Cleveland, like Jim my Brown, probably will tgo all the way as it has so often in the past.

Lane, Gordon In Verbal Duel Boston - (DPD - Manager Joe Gordon of the Cleveland In dians headed for Kansas City today-his future in doubt fol lowing his latest verbal duel with General Manager Frank Lane. Gordon was steaming Wed nesday about what he called "second guessing" on Lane's part. Lane, in turn, thundered that he was "in charge of this ball club" and had every right to do so. Their latest feud stemmed from what Lane termed "an obvious" bunt situation in Tuesday night's Cleveland game here. Gordon had rookie Chuck Tanner hit away on the first pitch and a resulting dou ble play killed Cleveland's best scoring opportunity in a 1-0 loss to the Red Sox. : Out of Turn Before Wednesday's 6-5 de feat by Boston, Gordon said Lane was talking out of turn. "I don't think any general manager should second guess a manager publicly," he said. it he wants to ao it in pri vate that's another story. But not in public. I've told him that before." To. which Lane exploded: "Second guessing my neck (or some such part of the anat omy). I'm supposed to be run ning this ball club and if I don't have the right to an opin ion I don't know who does."
