Scarlett licenue Medford Agent CHUCK RISSE ENCO SERVICE 8th & South Fir PHONE 772-5638 Bv HAL WOOD L'PI Sports Writer The UCLA Brums, long on ambition but possibly a bit short on experience, kick off the West Coast college football season to night when they entertain Uni versity of Pittsburgh in Los Angeles. It's the opener for what prom ises to be the biggest boom year in Western collegiate gridiron competition since the profes sionals first brought the big time play-for-pay game to the Coast. With both the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco Forty Niners apparently headed for off years, the major schools in the two areas expect to take up the slack at least in attendance. In the biggest contests Satur day, the defending National Champion Southern California Trojans get what they hope is a breather in the high altitude at Colorado; Iowa State invades California; Washington also goes to the state of Colorado to take on the Air Force; Washing ton State travels to Texas Tech; Oregon hosts Pcnn State in a Saturday night titanic; Oregon State is at Utah and San Jose State at Stanford. UO, OSU Picked Oregon draws a tough ie to : launch the season in Penn State, one of the top teams in the east. The Wcbfools arc two-point favorites and have All-America halfback Mel Rcnfro going for them. Oregon State is rated 13 points over Utah even without the great Terry Baker, who finished school and now is with the Los Angeles Rams. The Beavers have Gordon Queen at quarter and have installed the flanker- back in their T-formation. They also have the country's leading pass-catcher, Vern Burke. Coach John Ralston starts his new regime at Stanford and the Indians should waltz by San Jose the odds-makers say by 17 points. There could be some confusion in the Rcdmcn's back field, however. Ralston has three quarterbacks playing at the same time Clark Weaver call ing the signals; and Dick Rags dale and Steve Thurlow as the halfbacks. MedfordJWtribuni!

MAIN ,1: '-n' t i 'nil Patterson Wins With Overtrick DELAWARE, Ohio (UPI) - Slick driver Johnny Patterson, with a flick of his whip toward his critics, left today with his fabulous Overtrick for Ken tucky's famed red mile and more assaults on world pacing records. Patterson drove Overtrick to pacing immortality Thursday in winning the Little Brown Jug stake in record time in one of the greatest races ever paced. Overtrick's 1:57 1-5 first heal clocking was the fastest ever by a pacer for a mile on a half mile track. He came back with a 1:57 3-5 in the second and deciding heat. The 1:57 1-5 shattered the rec ord of 1:57 4-5 set by Bye Bye Byrd on New York's Roosevelt Raceway in 1959 and tied there by Adios Butler in 1961. The times in both heats shattered the jug record of 1:58 3-5 set by Muncie Hanover and Bullet Han over in the 1960 Jug. The victory was sweet revenge for Patterson who had been crit icized after his favored Over trick was upset by Meadow Skipper in last week's Rich Cane futurity. Prothro Expects Another Winner This is another in a series of dispatches dealing with the 1B93 propsccts of major West Coast college football teams. By GORDON RICK United Press International CORVALLIS, Ore. (UPI Talk about Oregon State's foot ball prospects this autumn cen ter more around a player who isn't hero than on the 26 vet erans who are. That one, of course, is Terry Baker, the All-American quart erback and lleisman Trophy winner drafted No. 1 last win ter bv the Los Angeles Rams. Baker guided the Beavers to nine wins in 11 games last fall, including a 6-0 victory over Vil anova in the Liberty Bowl. Despite the loss of his team leader, coach Tommy Prothro expects to produce another win ner this fall. His assets include the nation's top pass-catcher last year, 25 other lcttermen and a plentiful crop of promis ing newcomers. Gorden Queen, a junior, ap parently has inherited Baker's job. Queen completed four touchdown passes last year in the few times he saw action and his throwing has been out standing in practice sessions. Back of him are sophs Warren Woodworth and Marv Crowston. Prothro's winged-T now has a flanker back instead of a wingback after a mid-winter overhaul. That job has been won by a sophomore, Tim Osmer of San Jose, Calif. The Beavers are two deep in vets elsewhere in the backfield with Dan Espalin and LeRoy Whittle at left half and Booker T. Washington and Bruce Wil liams at fullback. Top man at end is Vern Burke, who set NCAA records by catching 69 passes for 1,007 yards last fall. The other end could be Len Frketich, Doug McDougal or Scott Miller, each a letterman. Prothro has two experienced tackles in Joe Bonilla (21B) and Rick Koepcr (234), but may lack depth. Ron Doman (188) and Tom Hollcy (215), moved from tackle, are the guards. Jerry Neil (219), counted to bolster the guard position has been lost for the season be cause of a knee injury. At center the Beavers have Hoyt Keeney (211), converted fullback Dick Ruhl (192) and letterman Doug Suckling (211). The Beavers open the season Saturday at Utah and then take on, in order, Colorada, Baylor, Washington, Washington State, Syracuse, Stanford, Indiana, Southern California and Oregon. PROBABLE DUCK STARTER Lowell Dean, above, ex-Medford high All-American, is a probable starter at tackle for the Uni versity of Oregon football team which begins its season in Port land on Saturday with an 8 p. m. game against Penn State. Dean, a 235-pound, 6-3 gridder, was a solid performer as a reserve last fall. He was converted from end after his freshman season. Ihc UO press book says that Dean is "getting bigger and stronger every year." He is a pre-dentistry student. Oregon Encounters Pennsylvania State By United Press International Powerful Penn State, the de fending Eastern champion, and Oregon's ambitious Wehfnols arc expected to lure upwards of 30,000 fans into Multnomah Sta dium Saturday night, while Ore gon Stale and its new quarter back, Gordon Queen tangle with Utah at Salt Lake City in 1963 college football openers. The Oregon State-Utah con test also is at night. Coach Lcn Casanova, starling his 13lh season, will be seeking revenge for a 41-12 defeat Pcnn State handed Oregon in the 1960 Liberty Bowl game. The 8 p.m. Portland contest will see the unveiling of perhaps the fastest backfield in Oregon history. Bob Berry, All-American Mel Rcnfro and Larry Hill are back from last year s start ing quartet, while Lu Bain, the Vancouver, Wash., speodboy has moved into the fullback slot. Oregon has new stal ling line men in every spot but Dick Im walle at end, but all except cen ter Oliver McKinney are letter men. Beavers I'ly Guard Dave Wilcox, who hurt a shoulder Wednesday, is ex pected to he able to play. Coach Tommy Prothro's Heav ers were to (ly out of Cnrvallis this afternoon (or their game against Utah. Oregon State, without Terry Baker, is hoping Queen, a prom ising junior, will (ill the key quarterback roll. Prothro has added a "floater" bRck to his offense this season, and All American end candidate Vein Burke returns. The defending Liberty Bowl champs are favored over the Utah team which lost 21 letter- men, but the Redskins are lough at home. One player for Utah will be a guy named Terry Baker no relation to the Beaver immortal. This Baker Is a sophomore from Ontario, Ore., who has been switched lo end because of his 6-4 height. Baker will play be hind Roy Jefferson, who caught 17 passes for Ulah last season. UILD The MODERN WAY! Build With NCR1T!
