It's okay," muttered Al Marinal, "as long as It's day light. But when it gets dark and I try to sleep, I wake up screaming." Big Al doesn t know how long It will be maybe never before he can close his eyes without once again seeing that Oct. 29 plane crash which killed 16 of his Cal Poly football males and shat tered his own muscular body. It was no accident," he grated, staring down at a cast encased foot which the doc tori still are trying to save. It was so foggy we couldn t see the wings. Then one mo tor cut out, just as some of the guyi let out a cheer that we were up, The pilot gunned the other one and then It went dead. We flipped and and all hell broke lose." Big Al moistened dry Hps and ran a hand over his face. One hand only, because the other arm Is in a cast too "I never even blacked out," he muttered. "I saw it all. It was a nightmare. Fire and screams.

Sports writers and broad casters throughout the nation gave 194 first place votes to Loftus, who won the Ken tucky Derby, Preakness and Balmont Stakes aboard Sir Barton In 1919 after Earl Sande turned down the mount. Loftus was one of three Jockeys to ride Man O'War. He rode the wonder horse in all his races as a 2-year-old and it was his misfortune to be aboard the great chestnut the day he was beaten by Upset in the Sanford Stakes. ieaam mm distinct underdog," the for mer Army quarterback em phasized at a football writers' luncheon Monday. "I wish Navy were heavily favored to beat Army," coach Wayne Hardin sighed when reached by telephone at the Naval Academy. Belter Team "Perhaps Hall can con vince his Army players that we have the better team," he added. "In fact, If Hall feels Navy has such tremendous power, I would appreciate it to put out the lights at night?" The huge young man from San Francisco is one of four Cal Poly players still in To ledo hospital. Down the hall is Roger Kelly, a 20-year-old halfback from San Louis Obispo, shackled to his bed with a broken back. Walt Shimek, a 23-year-old guard from Alberta, lies in a bed staring vacantly at the ceiling and trying to recap ture the memory wiped out by a neck fracture and head Injuries. Billy Ross, a 25-year-old tackle from Bakersfield, is in protective isolation as doctors graft (kin on his burned body. "Even so," said big Al, look up at the rosaries, "we were more than lucky." You might say they were, at that, these survivors. For Toledo Airport is an isolated spot which on most Saturday nights is utterly deserted. But on the night of Oct. 29 the Ohio Air National Gaurd was holding a dance there. When the crash came, they rolled out in trucks and cars and sped 32 survivors to hospitals. Big 5 Dissension Follows Protest Berkeley, Calif. 0TPD Dis sension broke out in the ranks of the Big Five again today when University of Cali fornia announced it would not compete in the USC-UCLA sponsored Los Angeles Invita tional Basketball Tournament after this year, unless a cer tain policy wos changed. The policy had to do with the refusal of the tourney to allow the California Straw Hat Band to participate. No bands from competing schools are allowed to repre sent their respective teams in the three-day tourney Dec. 28 30 In the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Last year's event, won by California, was played with the Straw Hatters sitting In the audience, but being de nied the right to bring their instruments.

Cal officials said they had an alternative if the Los An. selcs event continued Its pres. ent policy: They will take an lnvitotion from the Far West Classic at Portland, for the same dates. Athletic directors at USC and UCLA said they would not change tournament rules to suit the Golden Bears. USC Athletic Director Jess Hill explained that the tour nament committe had agreed that no band of any school would be allowed to play at the games so all teams would have an equal advantage. "Teams from the East and Mlddlcwest can't bring their bands out here," Hill said, "So we (USC and UCLA) were perfectly willing to not bring our bands to the game." Wilbur Johns, UCLA ath letic director, pointed out that the tournament is invitational and Cal can accept or not accept, that's its prerogative."

Geoffrion and Moore Leading Scoring Race Montreal-UIPII-Dickie Moore of the Montreal Canadlens missed his chance to become the fastest 20-goal man in National Hockey League his tory last week, but still man aged to move into a first-place scoring tie with teammate Bernie (Boom-Boom) Geoffri on today with 29 points. The two Canadien forwards scored only four points be tween them in two games last week, but official figures show they clung to a two- point lead over Detroit's fine play-making center, Norman Ullman, with 27. Jean Beh veau, who had been running 1-2-3 with his Canadien team- males, picked up only one point and slipped to fourth place. Bobby Hull, C h 1 c a g o's young defending scoring cham pion, added a goal and two assists for a total of 23 points, two ahead of Gordie Howe of Detroit and Vic Stasiuk of Boston. Stasiuk, helped by a five-assist game against De troit, counted one goal and eight assists in four games. Moore, the 29-year-old two time scoring champion, fell behind his goal-o-game aver age for the first time this season when he was blanked Saturday In Toronto.

The total salmon catch for the 19B0 season numbered 72,300 compared to 73,900 in 1959. 4 Huskies On Coast Dream 11 San Francisco -IUPD- Uni versity of Washington's Rose Bowl bound Huskies grabbed four places and UCLA, the third-place finisher in the Big Five, got three on the 1960 United Press All-Coast col lege football team named to day. The Huskies, making their second straight trip to Pasa dena after posting a 9-1 rec ord this season and going through the second straight year without a loss to a West Coast team, got tackle Kurt Gegner, guard Chuck Allen and center Roy McKasson on the first-team line. And George Fleming, the great break-away, went into the backfield. The- UCLA men chosen were guard Jack Metcalf, end Marv Luster and Bill Kilmer, the fine tailback. Campbell Named The other four spots went to four different schools. Hugh Campbell, the national pass-catching champion from Washington State, drew down one end berth; Steve Barnett, 255-pound Oregon sophomore is one of the tackles; and Ter ry Baker, Oregon State soph omore sensation, is in the backfield. -The fourth backfield post went to a "small" school man for the first time in many years. Dale Messer, who led his Fresno State team to a tremendous season-8-1, with one to go-was an easy choice. Coach of the Year had to be Jim Owens of Washington, who spent a rugged season watching his team win last minute decision:!. Lineman of the Year, hon ors go to Campbell, who es tablished himself as one of the great pass-catchers in the country-although only a 20-year-old sophomore. Back of the Year selection is Kilmer, the calmest indi vidual in college ranks this year and the man who made a run-away of the Individual total-yardage statistics in the Big Five. No Juniors In an odd quirk, not a sin gle junior made the team. There are three sophomores and eight seniors on the squad. As college teams go these days, this is a small squad. The line averages only 198 pounds to the man-topped by the 225 pounds of Steve Bar nett. The backfield is even lighter at 184 pounds per man. But both the backfield and the line have a lot of speed; there is fine passing ability and great receivers. It is a squad to delight any coach's heart. Named to the second team were: Marlin McKeever, of USC, end; Kline. Oregon State, tackle; Brown, Fresno State, guard; Baldwin, UCLA, center; Kammerer, College of the Pacific, guard; Flanna gan, Humboldt State, tackle; Murio, Whitworth, end; Ful ler, San Francisco State; Grosz.

He's wondering why they have not come to meet ings. All interested in refereeing are invited to the session to night. Noble is trying to inter est men who have reffed in other areas and any others who would like to try their hands.
