is foreseen as no exception.

New Loop
Could Prove
Big Boost
5 . By HAL WOOD
I San Francisco -(UPD- If the
j college presidents go through
with the plans for the forma
tion of the Great Western A'ch
"letic Conference, western in-
tercollegiate sports Jwill get
V'their biggest boost in history.
When the Big Five was
-formed, shutting out the so-
called "small" schools, the
j'set-up for a new, conference
was a natural. ,
Oregon; Oregori State, Utah,
; Washington State, Brigham
;Young, New Mexico, Arizona
; and Arizona State will put out
'just as good football as the
' Big Five-and possibly better.
And the chances are strong
'.that baseball, track and field
?and basketball will be better
; In the Great Western than it
-Is in the Big Five.
Rat With Big Eight
If the Big Five fancies it-
"self as the "Big Ten ' oi ;ne
wit then the new Great
-Western conference would
Lrat alone with the Big Eight
Mn the Midwest. Only differ
"ence would be the fact that
ithe Big Five isn't nearly as
Vstrong as the Big Ten; and
i the Great Western would be
stronger and better balanced
Jthan the Big Eight. '
i" There won't be any 80,000
.crowds in the Great western
;hiit if the schools can fill
rtheir 30,000 stadiums, then
? they'll have nothing to fear.
VA sell-out in a 3u,uuu-seai. cu.
fice is better than 40,000 in

, Stanford, California, USC
iand UCLA , haven't drawn
much better than the so-called
"small" schools this year.
Washington, with a winner, is
doing better, of course.

Ashland - Portland State
college comes to town Satur
day night Jh an effort to get
back into the Oregon Colleg

posing upon Southern Oregon
college at 8 on Fuller field.
For the Raiders of the
Rogue, it will be their first
OCC battle. The Vikings lost
their opener last week to Ore
gon Tech 19-14 in the closing
minutes.
SOC has proven it has a
fine moving offense in that it
averages 283.3 ' yards per
game .in the air and on the
ground, but they will also be
up against a good cunning at
tack In Portland State. - ,
Most of the week- has been
devoted to defensive work in
the Raider camp where the
feeling is high on the Idea
that so goes the defense, so
goes the game." Coach Al
Akins has been trying to
bolster his defensive ends and
one of the tackles.
Linebackers i John Buck
and Willie Garner were cited
for their efforts last week
in making many of trie
tackles. Akins pointed out
that this was made possible
because they got so many op
portunities. -
Doyle Bransom, Ray Nolte,
Syl Hunt, Jess Munyon, and
John (Mighty Mite) Mills
handle the defensive second
ary in a group where Mills
continues to be the standout.
SOC's mighty mite weighs
a mere 127 pounds, nut ne
plays nearly the complete de
fensive game in addition to
running on offense once or
twice a game. In his limited
offensive role he has been
averaging over six yards per
carry.
Gordon Carrigan, jack-of-
all-trades, continues to head
the quarterback list although
frosh Doug Olsen will prob
ably see more action this
week. i
With Carrigan at quarter.
the rest of the backfield re
mains the same with Bransom
and Buck the slotbacks along
with Al Barnes at fullback.
' Howard Hartman and Dave
Hughes will remain the split
ends, George Moses and Jess
Munyon the - tackles, Tony
Brauner and Willie Garner
the guards, and Neil Green
the center. ,
Harold Haugen, the highly
touted frosh end, again will
be sidelined this week with
the twisted knee, but slotback
Eldon Francis may see some
spot action.
Francis ran a couple of
times in. scrimmages this
week and appeared to be re
covering at a rapid rate. On
one play from scrimmage he
scored from 20 yards out
straight up the field.

Dr. G. Homer Durham, the

Massacre
By Huskies
Anticipated
By HAL WOOD
Stanford, Calif. -(UPD- Uni
versity of Washington, smart
ing from a 14-15 upset at the
hands of Navy, goes to the
mat against poor, little or
Stanford on Saturday - and
the result may be a massacre.
Not even the most opti
mistic of Indian rooters be
lieve that Coach Jack Curtice
and his thrice-whipped crew
will come close to giving the
Huskies a battle.
I was kinda hoping that
Washington would slaughter
Navy," says Curtice, "so that
maybe they would go easy on
us. Now I know they'll be out
to murder us. .
This is a national TV con
test - and Curtice thinks that
maybe the Huskies will pour
it on in an attempt to regain
some prestige.
It will be a rushing vs. a
passing game, with the Stan
ford team taking to the air,
if the quarterbacks can get
the ball away before being
smothered by the charging
Washington defense.
The man to watch for Stan
ford will be Dick Norman,
the country's leading passer
last year - but no whiz this
season. Norman already has
thrown the ball 63 times in
the first three games - an
average of 21 attempts per
tilt. He - has completed 30
Against this Washington
quarterback Bob Schloredt
lias averaged only six pass
attempts per game.
Norman doesn't have the
great ends to receive he had
last year Chris Burford and
Ben Robinson. So this year his
favorite target is fullback
Skip Face. Skip, who leads
the Big Five in rushing with
25 yards in 26 carries for an
average of 9.4 yards per try,
also is the loop's No. 1 pass
receiver with 13 good for 123
yards. Face and Norman just

Every college in the nation,
more than 1,300 institutions,
