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.

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.

Opens War
By United Press International
College football opens its at
tendance "war" with the pro
fessionals this week end with
an estimated 500,000 expected
to witness 12 top collegiate con
tests. Three games, including Pitts
burgh at UCLA, Florida State
at Miami, Fla and Texas at
Tulane, are on the card tonight.
The Florida State-Miami bat
tle is expected lo attract a near
capacity crowd of 65,000 in the
Orange Bowl; 35,000 are antici
pated for the UCLA-Pitt game
and 30,000 at Tulane in the
Sugar Bowl.
Capacity crowds are prom
ised already Saturday at LSU
where 67,500 will see the Tigers
entertain Texas A&M; at West
Virginia, where 35,000 will watch
Navy play the Mountaineers; at
Little Rock, where Arkansas
and Oklahoma State clash be
fore 41,000 and at Missouri,
where Northwestern visits be
fore an overflow of 48,500.
The Pitt Panthers boast one
of their best all-around back-
fields, headed by All-America
candidate Paul Martha, a half
back. The Bruins have had a
year to get used lo the T-formation
since converting from the
single wing and the contest is
rated a toss up.
Makes Habit
Florida State makes a habit
of upsetting the powers and will
have lo call on its habit to stop
quarterback George Mira and
Miami's Hurricanes, who are
an eight point choice in the
intrastate rivalry.
Texas topped Tulane 35-tl last
fall and tonight's game should
be a re-run.
Northwestern tackles Missou
ri at Columbia Saturday in one
of the nation's top attractions.
Tom Myers' passing and the
Wildcats' experience give them
a one touchdown edge.
Washington visits the Air
Force Academy in the national
ly televised game on CBS be
fore 30,000.
Other top attractions Satur
day find defending national
champion Southern California at
Colorado, Eastern champion
Penn State meeting Oregon at
Portland before a near-capacity
crowd of 30.000 in a night game,
Alabama at Georgia where an
other near sellout audience is
expected for the Southeastern
conference clash, Boston Col
lege at Syracuse before more
than 55,000, and Clemson at
Oklahoma.
Comets Go Against
Sweet Home Eleven
1 LsSMWW '
CENTRAL POINT-C rater
High school's Southern Oregon
conference Comets seek to
make it two straight over Val
ley league football opposition
this evening.
They engage the Sweet Home
Huskies. The 8 p.m. conflict
will be in Sweet Home.
Of two injured regular backs
just one may be in the offen
sive starting lineup tonight for
Crater, Coach Keith Johnson
has reported. Fullback Vern
Swanson, who has bruised ribs,
and quarterback Darryl Sum
merfield, who has a banged up
ankle, were in pads yesterday.
But, Johnson may have only
Swanson of the two on the
field at the start.
Neiifeld at Quarter
The Fireball mcnlor said that
Roger Neufcld will open at
quarterback. It will be Swan
son or Chuck Taylor at fullback
with Sherm Kiger at left half
back and John Hall at right
half.
Cralcr enters the brush to
night after a 7 to 0 verdict over
Lebanon of the Valley loop last
week. Central, defending A-2
champ, spoiled the 1963 debut
of A -1 Sweet Home 30 to 7.
Games tonighl and next week
will enable Crater to see how
it compares to Ashland of the
Southern Oregon circuit. Ash
land is at Lebanon tonight and
entertains Sweet Home next
Friday.
Reports are that Sweet Home
is a gambling team and has va
riety in its offense. So, the Corn
els will be on the alert for any
thing and everything.
Ranks Thin
Sweet Home has reported a
problem, which Crater itself
has faced through the years a
lack of depth. The Comets will
go north described as "quick
and strong." That's what Evan
Richey, coach of the Lebanon
Warriors, called them after the
Fireballs pushed his team
around all night.
Probable starters for Crater
in the offensive line are Bob
Turner and Frank Armstrong,
ends; Dave Wilcox and John
Bush, tackles; Steve Jorde and
Dennis Ryerson, guards, and
John McNichols, center.
For defense the lineup may
be Armstrong and Jorde, ends;
Bush and Ryerson, tackles; Mel
Johnson and among Don Gail,
Jack Peek or Ray White
guards; White or Summerficld
and Jim Pitts, linebackers, Hall
' and Kiger, halfbacks, and Tay
