The Badgers are the defending Big Ten cham pions. But the report is that Stanford looked "solid" In losing that point decision to Washington State. By one. Notre Dame over Califor nia - Coach Joe Kuharich of the Irish claims that he has "four fourth-string teams" and that his club can't score against the Golden Bears.

Southern California over Texas Christian - The Trojans OSAA Lifts West Linn Suspension Portland - IUPD - West Linn High school will be able to complete its 1960 football schedule, the Oregon School Activities association's board of control ruled yesterday. The OSAA last week sus pended West Linn indefinite ly after two rules violations. That ruling prohibited it from competing in any sport. - Today's action changed last week's ruling. However, West Linn will remain on probation until the end of the football season. Sandy High school also was placed on probation until the football season Is over. Last week's scheduled West Linn - McMinnville game, which was not played, was forfeited to McMinnville. Parents Attend Oden Hawes, executive sec retary of the OSAA, said West Linn had been put on proba tion last month for starting football practice before Aug. 24. The suspension which was lifted today came after West Linn played a practice game with Sandy on Sept. 1. About 25 parents of foot ball players attended today's OSAA meeting here. I Hawes said the reason the West Linn suspension was lifted was because "of the ex cellent action of the school board and the administration" in reporting the violations. West Linn has suspended its coach from football activities. He said the same prompt action was true in the Sandy case, where the football coach was relieved of duties. He said It was Sandy's first of fense. 1 . Bill Jennings Coach of Week Br CHARLES E. WIESER Lincon. Neb.-UPD-He Drom- Ised four years ago that if Nebraska's long suffering fans would be patient he could lift their beloved Cornhuskers back to national prominence as a football power. He spiced the rebuilding ef fort with periodic upsets, giv ing his assurances a tone of authority and supporting his claim that, the Cornhuskers were making progress. . this year the tall, soft-spok en former Oklahoma star just could be ready to pay off on his promises. He Is Bill Jennings, coach of the Nebraska team which for the fourth time in the last two years crossed up the ex pert with a major ipset. The latest was fashioned Saturday night In muggy Texas heat, when Nebraska edged Texas, 14-13. This feat earned Jennings the United Press International honor of being named college footballs "Coach of the Week"-an award he won two years ago for Nebraska's upset of Penn State. TROJANS LOSE BACK Los Angeles - (UPD - Jerry Traynham, the University of Southern California's All AAWU halfback, will be lost to the team for the next three games because of a broken right forearm suffered In a Monday night workout. Traynham, 185, was demoted to second string after Satur- aay s toss to underdog Oregon State, but his loss still came as a blow to the already-morose SC fans. Sophomore Ken Del Cofite, who looked good In a brief appearance against the Beavers, will start at left halt Michigan, Elevens bounce back after that stunner at the hands of Oregon State Just a Hunch.

Beaver Ticket Sales Increase Oregon State College, Cor- vallis "It pays to be a winner" was never more true than Monday morning in the Oregon State ticket offices.

Los Angeles - flJfD - Quar terback Ivory Jones will miss UCLA's encounter with Pur due Saturday, a game in which the rugged Bruins are currently 8 Vi-point under dogs. Jones has a bruised knee. Tailback Bobby Lee Smith will be used on defense exclusively. Jones, a tough blocking back, also kicked 20 of 22 extra points last season. Another loss, this time be cause of classroom injuries, was linebacker Ben Treat. Ducks Drill Hard for Tough Foe University of Oregon-Ore gon's 1960 football squad which opened the season on a good note last Saturday with a 33-6 win over Idaho is now hard at work preparing for tougher foe-Michigan. Oregon and Michigan have met once before back in 1948 with the Wolverines downing Oregon 14-0. This year the two squads are opposites. Michigan is a team with many experienced players as shown by its 29 returning lettermen On the other hand the Ducks have about half that number with 15, only three of whom were starters last year. However last Saturday against Idaho, Oregon head coach Len Casanova played 41 of his 45 team members and all gained some valuable game experience. Oregon Quarterback Dave Grosz looked very good in the Idaho game, completing eight of 16 pass attempts for 115 yards and one touchdown. He played only half the game and played no defense at all. Casanova was particularly pleased with the performance of his new sophomore cen ters Rich Dixon and Bill Swain. Both played other po sitions in high school and Cas anova is very pleased with the adjustment each has made at center. The Webfoot head coach contended the youngsters on the squad still have a lot to learn but said, "They are im proving." He praised the team's downfield blocking in the Idaho game and added that he thought new fullback Bruce Snyder and 5' 3" halfback Cleveland Jones both played well against the Vandals. Among members of the "Young Bulls" (six sopho more linemen) who looked good were starting tackle Steve Barnett and reserve tackle Ron Snidow.

Colts Hope Nothing Happens To Unitas Bv MALCOLM ALLEN Baltimore - IUPD - The Bal Hmnro PnlU speW an unm-eee- dented third consecutive Na tional Football league cham pionship with the fervent hope that nothing wrong hap pens to brilliant Johnny Unit as. Despite the Colts' wealth of talent, they're a different team during the few occasions when Unitas isn't on the field. Unitas' understudy is Ray Brown, a third-year man who still is studying for his law de gree at the University of Mis sissippi. In his two seasons with the Colts, Brown has proved a good punter and has played well on defense. Arm Not Strong But he hasn't demonstrated the strong passing arm requir ed in the NFL and the Colts have not moved well on the rare occasions he's spelled Unitas. 1 "I'm quite sure that if Brown had to play for a pro longed stretch he would dem onstrate under pressure a lot more ability than he has so far." says cautious Coach Weeb Ewbank.. Obviously, though, Ewbank and the Colts would rather leave-lt-to- Johnny, who pass ed for a record 32 touch downs last season and extend ed his record for throwing scoring passes in 37 straight games. Key Linemen Aging Aside from second-string quarterback, the Colts' only "problems" appear to be the advancing age of several key linemen and the not-too-likely chance that this championship team will turn up complacent. Among the linemen who may show some signs of wear and tear are Art Donovan, who has played 10 seasons in the league; Don Joyce 9 seas- GOOD SHOW RETURNS "Pro Football Kickoff," the 15-mlnute show preceding all of the Sunday regular-season National Football League games on the CBS Television network, will return to the air prior to the games of Sun day, Sept, 29.

It will be the season opener for Iowa, heavily hit by grad uation losses, but Intelligence reports received here indicate that Forest Evashevski will field another typically tough Hawkeye eleven, big up front (only four pounds per man lighter than USC) and with several sets of rapid, if in experienced backs. Baker Flinging Where the Beavers were able to outrun the Trojans on the flanks, Iowa appears to have tile secondary speed to hamper the most effective Oregon State weapon. The Hawkeyes also have been tra ditionally strong against the forward pass, and sophomore Terry Baker, the southpawed tailback, has spent long hours flinging to his ends and wing backs. The Orangemen will defi nitely be without the services of Hank Rivera, the hard blocking, quick-starting full back, who Is sidelined with a pulled tendon in the calf of his right leg. A painful shoul der point has put second line guard Mike Watters on the bench, and doctors also have ruled him out of action for this week end. Reserve fullback Bill Monk has moved up behind Chuck Marshall and John Klrby to bolster that spot, and Felix Mazzacco and Ed Vetch have moved into Watter's hole.
