Expansion Decision
Possible This Year
BERKELEY, Calif. (UPI) -Chancellor
Edward Strong of
the University of California be
lieves that the Athletic associa
tion of Western Univnrsit i c s
(Big Six) may reach a decision
this year on expansion.
"The matter in under con
tinued discussion and it's pos
sible that there may be some
decision during the course of
this year," Slrong said Wednes
day. Asked if the climate was more
favorable now for expansion
than in previous years, Strong
answered, "I think so."
Oregon and Oregon Stale are
regarded as potential new mem
bers for the conference. Both
belonged to the old Pacific
Coast conference before is broke
up in 1D57.

Phoenix Grid Squad
Caiied Best Overall
PHOENIX "The best overall : single wing and quarterback
squad wove ever had is the
way Head Coach .lack Wood-1
ward describes his Phoenix high
football gang as it completes
preparations for its season
opener. j
But he is quick In add: "That
does not mean it's Ihe best
team. That remains to be seen."
The Buccaneers travel In Sa
lem to take on Serra Catholic
on Friday at R p.m.
What Woodward means is
that the Pirales have depth.
The mentor, in his 15th grid
season at Phoenix, has 45 hoys
out for varsity football more
than he's ever h.:d. "We have
more players that we can de
pend on," he reported. In the
past seasons it was felt that
15 or 16 players were all that
could lie used without affecting
Phoenix strength. This season
that number is up to 21 nr 25
Belter Prepared
Another thing:
Woodward said he eels that
this year's squad is belter pre
pared for its first game Bill,
he added a word of caution
"That also remains to be seen.
"I think Ihe riefer.se is ahead
of the offense nnd the running
offense is ahead of the passing
game," Woodward reported. He
pointed to inexorienee in a
few spots in the offensive line
and commented that "blocking
is not too sharp but I think it
may come along "
Fullback Jon Granby was re
ported hobbling from an ankle
uprain. For that reason. Wood
ward said, Granby likely will

This has been fill-in week in
Black Tornado practices. "We
have been doing the things

The Whirlwind has sort of fill

cracks. Work has included "sit

and defense. Defense, particu
larly has had a lot of attention.
Coach Spiegelberg reported
tackle Jeff Hardrath doing good
work in drills. He said that Bri

Houston is coming back strong

Ashland For Opener
ASHLAND Ashland high's
football Grizzlies looked for
ward to their first 1963 encoun
ter with bolstered optimism and
enthusiasm today.
The good feeling arose from
a spirited and well - performed
scrimmage yesterday.
Ashland kicks off its 1963 cam
paign on Friday with an 8 p.m.
game at home against Shasta
high of Redding, Calif.
"I was amazed on how well
things went," remarked Coach
John Gray. They really looked
Injuries
Slowing IV
Grid Plans
CAVE JUNCTION - "If Il
linois Valley is going to make
it, this is their year."
That's what on member of the
Rogue league coaching fratern
ity has remarked about the IV
Cougar football team.
But, Bill Stewart, the Cougar
coach, sees it a bit differently:
rne way we look, we may
not be too tough to start, he
said, "Maybe later we'll be able
to give them a run later. In the
second half (of the season) we
should be pretty tough."
Stewart has lettermen on
hand for all but one guard posi
tion. However, injuries have
sidelined a couple of backs for
a number of weeks and top line
men up and down the forward
wall have been slowed by per
haps non-serious but still irrita
ting and painful ailments. The
coach thereby figures the Coug
ars to be hurting for their early
games.
Heading the list of lettermen
is Darryl Gellert, quarterback,
who is a tremendous passing
threat and gained statewide rec
ognition last season. At ends
Stewart has back Terry Mc
Naught, who played the split
flank, and Ron Kentfield, who
was at the tight position.
Tackle veterans who loom as
likely starters are Howie Yar
brough and Greg Petsch. They
are pushed by Monte Pope, an
other letterman.
Lettcrman at a guard post is
Tom Pickle. Alan Tucker, non
letter sophomore is leading in
the bid for the other guard
spot. This position should be bol
stered in midseason when Vince
Scott, a letter winner, becomes
eligible.
Mike Miller is at center where
he won a monogram but had
only limited experience last
year.
Backfield vets include Hon
Thornhill, fullback; John Baum-
gnrdner, left halfback, and Walt
Ziesche, wingback.
Ziesche suffered a broken foot
in practice and is figured to be
out of action at least four weeks.
Wes Nicholson and Jerry Earl
are battling for the wingback
job. Brad lleald, No. 2 quarter
back who saw jnyvee duty last
season, is lost for action for
probably three weeks because
of a broken finger.
From 35 to 40 boys have been
out for daily practices.
While other sources rate IV
! the team to beat, Stewart looks
for Phoenix to be head and
shoulders above other Rogue
league teams with a closer race
than last year among the other
schools.
IV plays at Gold Beach on
Friday.

Gray turned the Bruins loose
for 30 minutes of scrimmage
with concentration on defense
and 30 minutes with the empha-
sis on offense yesterday. "They
were eager, said uray oi riis
Grizzlies.
Passing Change
On Monday Ashlanders went
over defense against possible
Shasta attack. Tuesday the
work was on offense with more
time on the passing attack,
attack. Gray reported that re
ceivers have had trouble
catching the bullet passes of
quarterback Dave Barger. So he
had Barger feather the ball a
bit with great results. Three
heaves went for touchdowns.
Gray has his probable offen
sive and defensive lineups pret
ty well worked out, along with
the special combinations. How
ever, he said that he is not an
nouncing lineups until Friday
afternoon at a school assembly.
Feeling here is that Shasta's
Wolves will find a different club
than the one which they whip
ped 42 to 7 last year at Redding.
The Wolves reportedly have
nine lettermen including the en
tire backfield of 1962. Their line
is reported heavy.
Lakeview
Encounters
Burns Club
LAKEVIEW - "We're kind
of starting from scratch" is the
report of Roy Robertson, new
head coach of the Lakeview
High school football Honkers.
Robertson reported that there
are nine Honker lettermen but
that the club is "pretty inex
perienced." He pointed out that
the lettermen played little last
year and there are "no real
starters" back.
The coach indicated hope that
tremendous desire will make up
for the shortage of inexperience.
They're "really a willing bunch
and they hit hard," he reported.
Robertson said that the Honk
ers will be "very small in the
backfield" and added that "the
problem is at the ends" were
the lack of experience really is
apparent. "We're in the process
of trying to find some ends,"
the tutor stated.
Bell at End
The coach said that Ken Bell
likely will be at one end spot.
He played there last year just
enough to letter. Robertson is
high on the ability of Jeff Sul
livan, a quarterback, who letter
ed as a freshman in 1962 but
said he'll probably use him as
flnnkmnn
Other lettermen are Vernon j
Plato, quarterback; Bill Duke
and John Tainter, tackles; Jim
Ackerman, halfback; John Grif
fin and Brad Carroll, guards,
and Ray Harlan, center.
At present Plato at 147 is
heaviest among probable start
ing backs. However, Rich Drink
water, 170, may break in at full
back after a game or two.
Robertson comes to Lakeview
after 13 years as an assistant
coach at Nampa, Idaho. Pre
vious to being at Nampa he was
head coach at New Meadows,
Idaho. He is a graduate of Col
lege of Idaho.
Lakeview plays at Burns on
Saturday afternoon. This will be
non-counting for the Rogue loop!

HENLEY - "This is the best
coachable squad I've had," says
Len Weber, head mentor of the
Henley High school football ag
gregation. He reported that the 35 mem
bers of his varsity squad "Rea
lize their shortcomings" and
"listen and work hard."
Weber pointed to a lack of
depth in his 1963 edition. He in
dicated that his quarterback
would be replaced for defense
but that the other top players on
his Hornet crew would have to
play both ways.
Henley's 12 lettermen include
only three regulars from last
year but the Stinger outlook has
been bolstered by the appear
ance of a couple of capable
transfers, both of whom are
likely starters.
Returning regulars are D;
Berry, guard, John R i g g
moved from guard to tack
and LeVoy Young, halfback.
Other Lettermen

ger Vargo, 5-10, 1H5 pound
guard, who was all-city last
year in Denver, Colo., as a
sophomore, and Kim Hale, half
back from Chiloquin.
Johnson, at 6-5 and 210
pounds, is the biggest of the
"key boys." Weber regards
Johnson, a defensive standout,
and Riggs, as two of the most
underrated players in Ihe Rogue
league last year. Riggs, who
weighed 210-215 pounds last
year, reported this season at
180, and the reduction in weight
has helped him.
Rex Friend, a sub s t i t u 1 e i

Rugged Challenge
Don Gail, promising interior
lineman up from the junior var
sity, won't play this week, John
son reported. He has had a boil
on his knee. He was ticketed
for defensive tackle work. Ger
ald Branch, a defensive end or
tackle, is a question mark con
cerning the amount of duty he
can see. He's had the flu this
week and reportedly was due
back in school today.
Lebanon's Warriors loom as
a rugged challenge for the Com
ets. Warrior Coach Evan Richey
does not give his team much
chance against the larger schools
in its own District 8. But, in
Crater, the Warriors take on a
school a bit smaller. And, Leb
anon is deeper in the number
of players who have seen varsity
: competition with some 21 play
I ers who have lettered. The Val
! ley league school also has some
help from transfers.
In meeting the Warriors, Cra
ter extends to football a two-year-old
athletic rivalry. The
two schools have met the past
two seasons in basketball.

champion Wisconsin and chal
lenging Northwestern, rated No.
i in we nation ior pari ot the
., 'o HU Ul. iujj
contenders for Riff Ten fnntKn
honors this year, but they'd bet
ter Keep an eye pealed for Ohio
State and perhaps Illinois.
The Badcers. whnsp fmiril,.
quarter comeback in losing thn
nose dowi was one oi last year s
outstanding performances, may
rise or iau on tne penormance
of quarterback Harold Brandt,
who was scheduled for the job
last vear until innvnerienrori
Ron Vanderkelen showed his
ability.
Vanderkelen and his favorite
receiver, Pat Richtcr, are gone,
but the Badgers have 26 letter
men back to furnish plenty of
line experience and depth, and
some expert backs, including
fullback Ralph Kurek, halfbacks
Lou Holland, Bill and Ron
Smith, Carl Silvestri and Jim
Mettles.
Myers Returns
Northwestern could be thn
national offensive leader on the
strength of its passing with Tom
Myers returning at quarterback
and two fine ends, Gary Crum
and Chuck Logan. Flanker back
Paul Flatley, an adept receiver
last year, has graduated. There
will be some good linemen, nota
bly guard Jack Overcko and tac
kle Joe Szczecko. The usual
problem of depth could hurt.
Ohio State rates a title chance
even though the Buckeyes aren't
as well regarded as usual. But
being the underdog could be a
break. Paul Warfield, a crack
erjack halfback, returns and so
such standouts as Matt Snell, Al
Parker, Ormonde Ricketts and
Tom Jenkins.
Illinois, though it had a 2-7
record last year, defeated both
Purdue and Michigan State and
it took all - out efforts by both
Wisconsin and Southern Cali
fornia to trip them. Most of lasl
year's team. 27 lettermen, are
back.
The rest of the league doesn't
figure in title consideration, but
could be upsetting from time In
time. Minnesota, a defensive gi
ant last year, lost most of its
mainstays except tackle Carl
Eller, and looks like a second
division club.
Michigan should be improved
with better size and depth, but
Bump Elliott will have to use
rookies at some key positions.
Experienced Line
Iowa has good experience in
the line but coach Jerry Bruns
will have to find a quarterback
and fullback to get the Hawk
eye attack moving.
Michigan State has speed at
halfbacks, but the team will be
smaller, and Duffy Daughcrty
needs a power fullback to re
place George Saimcs as well as
a signal caller.
Purdue has a fine offensive
potential in quarterbacks Ron
Digravio and Gary Hogan and
fullback Gene Donaldson, hut
graduation decimated its two
platoon system and defense will
be uncertain.
Indiana should be better de
spite loss of almost the entire
tackle corps after summer
school due to grades. Marv
Woodson, a standout halfback,
will spearhead the attack.
Notre Dame under new coach
Hugh Devore also should be im
proved and perhaps will finish
high in the national rankings.
The Irish will have good size
and experience at almost every
position and end Jim Kelly
should be an All - America con
tender. The return of two 245
pounders, Jim Snowdcn and
Paul Costa, could help the hack
field. i BUYS SHARE IX PACER
