Conference
Idea Cools
Eugene (UPD Both Oregon
and Oregon State were re
ported unofficially today to
be "cooling off" toward the
idea of joining a new athletic
conference but neither would
comment on the possibility of
applying to join the Big Five.
Both schools plan to send
representatives to a meeting
in Salt Lake City Oct. 4 to
discuss an alignment which
would include Washington
State, Utah, Brigham Young,
New Mexico, Arizona and Ar
izona State. ",
However, whether or not
they will join a new confer
ence at the meeting is in
doubt.
Leo Harris, athletic direc
tor at Oregon, and Spec
Keene, athletic director at Or
egon State, have declined to
comment on this, or the pos
sibility of seeking entry into
the Big Five, made up of for
mer Pacific Coast Conference
schools.
Both Oregon schools are op
erated by the state system of
higher education and would
be together in any move to
ward a conference.

By HAL WOOD
Pebble Beach, Calif. - (UPD
Saturday s pigskin picks - or
the moment of truth:
COLLEGE
Stanford over Wisconsin
Cactus Jack Curtice, most
likeable but unluckiest coach
in the business, is going to win
one of these "big ones" soon
er or later. 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. If
you believe that, the final
count will be 0-0. But we
don't. By 19.
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

Traynham, 185, was demoted

up a synopsis and become
familiar with the regulations
before the upland bird and
waterfowl season begin.
Sasons, bag limti, and open

listing of refuges and close
ures. 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.
Beaver Business Manager
Jim Barratt reported mall and
counter sales jumped up 1,000
per cent after Oregon State
knocked off touted Southern
Cal, Heaviest action centered
on the Beaver engagement
with Washington, Oct. 22.
in Portland, and with Oregon,
Nov. 19, at Corvalis. Both
neared the sellout stage.
Barratt also reported a
sharp upsurge in sales for the
Oct., 1 Houston home opener
and the Oct. 29 rendevous
with California at Parker
stadium in Corvallis.
Less than 700 sideline seats
remained for the OSC-Oregon
game, and the only grand
stand seating for the Wash
ington mix is in the end zone
curve.
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.
Eagles Have
Doublebill
Eagle Point - This Friday
night the Eagle Point high
Eagles have their first home
football games, playing host
to the Yreka Miners in junior
varsity and varsity conflicts.
The JV game will begin at
6 p.m. with the varsity game
to follow at 8 p.m. This will
be the last non-league game
for the Eagle varsity. It starts
its loop schedule on Sept. 30
at Rogue River.
Head coach, Vern Steward,
was pleased in some phases
with the showing the Eagles
made in their last tilt with the
Crater Comets. In preparing
for this week's game, the
Eagles have been striving to
Increase the variety of their
offensive attack.
Probable starters for the
Eagles will be Bill Pfeifer and
Dick Wilson, ends, who were
outstanding against the Com
ets; Ray Peterson and Marvin
Cothrln, tackles; Gary Ayres
and Tom Muse, guards; Carl
Johnson, center; Tom Perdue,
quarterback; Bill Skeeters,
fullback: Steve Geren, tail
back, and Mike Palm, wing

fourths senior. Geren is a jun
ior. The Eagles have been
strengthened at flie tackle
spot by the addition of Den
nis Loper 180-pound junior.
Loper might see action against
the Miners.
Elvin Hawkins, a tailback,
who has been injured since
the first week of practice will
return to the squad on Mon
day and should be ready for
some duty against Rogue Riv
er, i
Roy Moore has recovered
from a foot Injury and con
tinues to make outstanding

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-

Prothro's cool appraisal of the
Hawkeyes of Iowa, OSCs
next Saturday opponent in

It will be the season opener
for Iowa, heavily hit by grad

reports received here indicate
that Forest Evashevski will

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
