Thurlow
Blossoms
At Stanford
By HAL WOOD
UPI Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) It
took a long time for Steve
Thurlow to blossom into a star
football player but, says Stan
ford coach John Ralston, if he
continues to improve he may
become the outstanding running
back on the West Coast this
year.
Thurlow completed four pass
es for 56 yards and picked up
72 running on Saturday in pack
ing Stanford to a 24-14 upset
win over Notre Dame. He was
playing from a halfback posi
tion. Last year at this time he
was one of the Indian quarter
backs. "If he continues to get better
each game, as he has all sea
son," said Ralston, "he not
only will be the best running
back in the West, but he'll have
that pass-run option to go with
it."
Ralston, however, figures that
the Indians will need all the
help they can get for their
game against Oregon State this
week.
"Our scouts helped us a lot
in the win over Notre Dame,"
he said. "But we'll have our
hands full against Oregon State.
"The movies show that they
have a fine quarterback in Gor
don Queen; Lcroy Whittle Is
one of the fastest of halfbacks;
and Vcrn Burke can catch pass
es any place on the field."
was injured in Oregon State's
31-8 loss to Syracuse last week

ready for Stanford.
PULLMAN, Wash. (UPI) -End
Dennis Kloke of Washing
ton State, injured two weeks

Idaho.
Washington State will be un

for the first time in years.
Coach Jim Sutherland moved
his Cougars into the field house
Monday for work on defense
and a look at films of last Sat
urday's loss to Army.
SEATTLE (UPI) - The Uni
versity of Washington scored
its biggest win of the season
Saturday and now faces an
even bigger test next Saturday.
Washington faces Southern
California and most people
agree that the winner will wind
up representing the Coast in the
Rose Bowl this year.
The Huskies concentrated on
defense Monday in working out
for the Trojan tussle. Don Saf
ford was moved to first string
right end on the strength of his
performance against the Ducks.
STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) -The
Stanford Indians were giv
en the day off by head coach
John Ralston as a reward for
their stunning 24-14 win over
Notre Dame last Saturday.
Ralston said the squad was
in good condition for Saturday's
game at Oregon State.

Force of
Football
Blows Told
CHICAGO (UPI)-A surgeon,
seeking to solve football's head
injury problem, said today that
a player's helmet is subjected
to blows of more than 5,000
times the force of gravity in
ordinary contact with an oppos
ing player.
This is about the same num
ber of G's absorbed by a base
ball belted for an upper deck
home run, he said.
Dr. Stephen E. Roid, an as
sociate professor of surgery at
Northwestern University's Med
ical School, told the National
Safety Congress that each Sat
urday afternoon for the past
two seasons he has wired a
pair of bruising lullbacks tor
sound.
Northwestern varsity stars
Bill Swingle and Steve Murphy
were his "guinea pigs," ucm
said, and they alternated in
carrying complex electronic
gear in their helmets and shoul
der pads.
Their transmitting sets sent a
stream of data to researchers
high in Dyche Stadium's press
box.
"Whenever Swingle or Mur
phy, whether carrying the ball,
blocking or tac '.ing, smached
into an opponent, a sensitive de
vice measured the impnet of
blows on his helmet," Rcid
said.
Rcid said the study, aimed at
finding out how efficiently hel
mets protect players' heads and
how the equipment can he im
proved, was started in 1961 at
the suggestion of the American
r'edical Association.
Others participating in the
study are Dr. Joseph A. Tar
kington, a neurosurgeon, and
Thomas Ilcalion, Northwestern's
athletic trainer.
BERKELEY. Calif. (UPI) -
There was lots of news regard
ing the University of California
football team this week and all
of it was bad.
Six men who started the sea
son opener against Iowa State
are now out for the Bears.
Latest to go are Jerry Mosh
er, the team's leading receiver,
out for the season with torn
ligaments: and halfback Tom
Blanchfield, who is fighting a
mysterious shoulder ailment
and is a doubtful participant
Saturday against U"'-A.
Others include end Bill Krum,
tackle Roger Foster, end Larry
Lowell, and guard Dave Urrea.
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The
University of Southern Califor
nia Trojans will have to face
the Washington Huskies and
probablv the rest of their oppo
nents this season without the
services of starting center Lar
ry Sagousne.
Team physician Dr. Chester
Semel said Monday he didn't
think the 224-pound center and
linebacker would recover for
even the last game of the sea
son.
Sagousnc suffered a torn car
tilage in his knee in last Satur
day's 36-6 romp over California.
Dr. Semel said the leg was
placed in a cast, but recovery
from this type of injury was
slow.
The big lineman was voted
Big Six Lineman of the Week
in the 32-3 rout of Ohio State
two weeks aeo.
Armando Sanchez, a guard
last year, will take over the
center snot, according to coach
John McKav. McKay said San
chez often alternated on defense
with Sagouspe, and the vet
eran's loss may he felt more on
offense than on defense.
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The
UCLA Bruins continued to work
on defense today, hoping to be
able to contain the California
Bears in their game Saturday
at the Coliseum.
Things bepan looking up for
the Bruins Monday when both
first-string ends were able to
suit up for practice. Mel Prof
it, who suffered a neck iniury
in the Illinois game, and Gary
Callies, who was injured in the
Syracuse game, both worked
out.
Coach BiU Barnes said he
hoped the Bruin running game
would be better against the
Bears than it was against Illi
nois last week.

UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
Texas Longhorns today became
the first college team ever
chosen unanimously by football
coaches as No. 1 in the nation,
despite one of the most topsy
turvy seasons on record.
No less than 10 different
teams have occupied the first
five places in the ratings by
the UPI board of coaches this
fall and only Texas has man
aged to appear for more than
two weeks in the same position.
Thanks to the almost unpre
cedented wave of upsets the list
of major unbeaten-untied teams
has shrunk to four with the sea
son just past the halfway mark.
An NCAA executive said he
could not remember a season
with more upsets than the cur
rent one.
All Chose Texas
The Longhorns, No. 1 for the
third straight week were named
first by all of the 35 famous
coaches on the UPI rating
board, the only unanimous
choice in the 14-year-history of
the rankings.
Illinois, unbeaten but tied, re
placed Wisconsin in second
place and Mississippi, also tied
but undefeated, dislodged Pitts
burgh from third place. The
Badgers and Panthers were the
latest to fall from the perfect
record class.
Once - beaten Alabama and
Navy forged into fourth and
fifth spots ahead of Wisconsin,
which fell to sixth.
Auburn, the only other unbeaten-untied
team in the rat
ings had last Saturday off but
still made a step up to seventh
place, changing places with Ok
lahoma, No. 8.
USC On Rise
Southern California, the de
fending national ' champion
which has been climbing back
steadily since absorbing two de
feats, was placed nintn and
Syracuse, No. 10, made its first
appearance in the top 10 this
season.
Six teams included in the rat
ings last week were knocked
out of the standings by losses.
They were ninth ranked North
western, and Notre Dame, Mis
sissippi State, Oregon, Iowa and
Iowa State, all listed in the sec
ond 10.
Ohio State returned to 11th,
Louisiana State and Pitt tied
for 12th, Nebraska was No. 14
and Michigan State finished
16th.
Baylor, Missouri, Arkansas
and North Carolina State rated
16-17-18-19 and Duke and Pur
due tied for 20th.
Four games involving the
ranking 20, the most in one
weekend this season, are sched
uled this Saturday. They involve
Illinois hosting Purdue, Missis
sippi at LSU, Wisconsin at
Michigan State and Syracuse at
Pittsburgh. Two other top five
teams are scheduled for tough
road engagements. Texas is at
