The Comets have been drilling
mainly with combinations
among Darryl Summcrfield,
Bob Stroh, Mike Turner, Buddy

Turner and Larry Glawc. Fri
day's starters likely will be
picked from among these seven.
One Lettcrman
This is a year of rebuilding
for the Comets. Summcrfield is
the only lettcrman back from
last season's quick and furious
ly competitive team. Hoffine
has said that the new edition
of the Fireballs does not have
the quickness of last season's
team but that this squad is

As of midweek Roclandt had
"no idea" as to who might start
on Friday night. He has worked
various combinations from

Enyart, Bcrtrand, Holman,
Stockman, Knight and Allen.

Prospect
Emphasis
On Control
PROSPECT Prospect High's
basketball varsily has some
speed but control ball probably
will be stressed. Coaches Dan
Pero and Dennis Higginson
have reported.
They describe the squad as a
young one but with some experi
ence in varsity play. They said
that height is fairly well dis
tributed. The Cougars have
strength in reserve and compe
tition has been high in practice
for berths on Hie starling unit.
The starting five will nut be
picked until the first game
which is sot (or Saturday, Dec.
7, nt Camas Valley.
Fundamentals, pattern ball
control anil teamwork are being
reviewed constantly.
On the squad with thrco years
of varsity experience are Bill
Hunt. 11-2. and John Scott. 5-11.
Those with two years of piny
are Art Andresen. 6-2, Ray
Downing, li (eel; Larry Ray, 6-3,
Jerry Wilson. 5-9, and llarland
Sparks, 5-10. Players with one
year varsity background are Sid
Hemphill, 6-2, Andv Maurer,
6-:i, and Irvin Hall, 5-8.
Will Control Hoards
Also on the varsity crew are
Mark Ray. fi feel, Ron Mi'EI-
miirry, 5-6, anil Paul nison,
5-6.
Practices so far have shown
thai Maurer. Hunt, Downing and
Andresen will control the boards
and that outside shooting by
Scott, Wilson and Hall will keep
rival defenses from lightening
up.
Hemphill and Larry Ray have
shown good potential. But foot-1
ball ami car ace idcnl injuries
kept thorn out of hoop practice
until recently I
The reserve strength is help-1
ing to push the foregoing indi-1
vidti.il.s to their utmost, the :
coaches reiiorted.
Prospect has a 20-game bas
ketball schedule. Jackson Coun
ty Class B conference play will
consist of four games all Willi
Unite Kails. Winner of the ma
jority of the games will enter
the district tourney nt Klamath
Falls in March.

Coaches said they hope to give
the spectators interesting and
worthwhile games to watch.
Season tickets will be sold at
the door of the first home action
1 against Eagle Point junior var
, sily on Tuesday. Dec 111 Price
i of the tickets (or nine home
Ramos is $5. Programs and sta
tistics on the players will be

Main objective in Crater's
pre-season's games will be to
build for a strenuous 16-game
league campaign. Hoffine re
ported work still continuing on
correcting "many small things."
Perfection of timing also has
had attention.
Coach Dale Bates also has a
rebuilding task with his Eagle
Point Eagles. Friday's games
will match teams tutored by ex
Southern Oregon college team
mates. Crater and Eagle Point have
met four times with Hoffine
and Bates as opposing mentors.
The Comets have been victors
on three occasions.

and Phil Stevenson, ex-Madras.
Alley and Stevenson are soph
omores and the others freshmen.
Cole is 6-7 and 215 pounds.
Mulder is 6-4'j.
There are several other fresh
men cagers at Willamette but
they are with the varsity squad.
Heading the Linficld rookie
crew of Coaches Roger Eigsti
and Zig Zakovics is Bob Lamb,
all-stater from Tigard High.
Lamb, along with Rick Sekne,
ex-Oregon City, and Terry Dur

Tualatin-Yamhill Valley League
all-star choices last season.

There will be no preliminary
games this week.

a first learner last year but who
was handicapped by injuries
this season, was chosen on the

By LEO II. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
NEW YORK (UPI) -United
Press International today pre
sents its 1963 All-America foot
ball team with Navy's Roger
Staubach leading the way.
Chosen as the finest 11 play
ers to perform on collegiate
football fields this season in a
nationwide ballot of 305 football
writers and broadcasters were:
Vern Burke of Oregon Stale
and Jim Kelly of Notre Dame
at ends.
Seotl Appleton of Texas and
Carl Eller of Minnesota at tac
kles. Bob Brown of Nebraska and
Rick Redman of Washington at
guards.
Dick Butkus of Illinois at cen
ter.
Staubach, Gale Savers of
Kansas, Sherman Lewis of
Michigan State and Jay Wilkin
son of Duke in the backfield.
It is a big, fast team. That
the voters made no mistakes in
their selections is evidenced by
(lie lact mat seven of the 11
players cligibile were picked
high in the draft of the protcs
sional football league clubs.
It is led by one of the most
brilliant quarterbacks in college i
football history and two line
men whom the pros have la
beled as "can'l miss" stars.
Staubach Led Voting
Staubach, who in directing
Navy to one of its most suc
cessful seasons won the Hcis
man Trophy as the most valu
able college football player of
the year, led the voting with a
total of 2,916 points only 439
points short of a perfect score.
Appleton, a key factor in
Texas winning the national
championship, was the top vote
getter among the linemen with
2,556 points with Butkus next
with 2,492.
Staubach and Butkus are two
of the four juniors on the myth
ical team the first time since
1955 that that many juniors
have made a UPI All-America
team.
The other juniors arc Red
man and Sayers.
. "cugrapn caiiy, t ie icain is
?omln?lca me Tn
our players - Bu kus, Brown,
Kelly and Lewis. There are two
each from tliu Far West and
Midlands and one each from
the East, South and Southwest.
Only the Rockies failed to land
a berth on the all-star team
and the slate of football in that
section is reflected by the (act
that not a single player from
that geographical section of the
nation made the second or
third teams.
South Dominates
The South dominated t h e
squad of 33 players named to
the first three teams with
eight, followed by the Midwest
and Southwest with six players
each. There are five from the
Far West and four each from
the Midlands and East.
There were no repeaters
from the 1962 UPI All-America
team. There were only two
eligible halfback Mel Renfro
of Oregon and guard Jack
Cvcrcko of Northwestern. Both
were handicapped by injuries
this season, but Renfro made
tne mini team aim vvei cs.u icti
the honorable men! ion among
guards. !
Burke was the only first
team plaver who was on one
r ll.A I krm mvlfcoMil tnim? in .
1962. He was 'named on 'the
third team then.
In height, Eller is the giant
( the team at K-fnot-5. In
weight it is Brown at 269.
The line is one of the heavi
est ever averaging 230
pounds. Burke is the lightest at
201. The bacm'ieid. however, is
one of the lightest with an
average of 183. due to the fact
that Lewis weights only 154
The closes! contest for first
team positions came for the
two backs to go along with
Staubach and Sayers. Roth Lew
is And Wilkinson wound up with
the same number of points
1.319. They beat out Paul Mar
tha of Pittsburgh by 110 points
Eleven points were awarded
for a first place vote and six
(or a second.
I. end Second Team
Martha's 1.209 points led the
second team voting. The second
team backfield is rounded out

Three Starters Return
For Phoenix Basketbal
PHOENIX - Three starters
from last season, three other
lettermen from 1962-63 and one
other player with varsity ex
perience give a bright outlook
for the forthcoming Phoenix
High School basketball cam
paign. It may take a bit for Coach
California
Bears Look
Tough Again
By United Press International
The California Bears, masters
of the slow-but-sure style of
basketball, may have put to-
gether another powerhouse.
it was not so long ago that
the Bears parlayed their defen
sive style of play into a nation
al title and runner-spot in two
successive years. California was
53-6 during the 1959 and I960
seasons.
They built their attack around
6 foot 10 Darrall Imhoff. then
went into eclipse for lack of a
solid pivot man. But now Cali-1 on the Phoenix slate champion
fornia has another 6 foot 10 cen-1 ship football squad. They have
ter in Camden Wall, who has had advance workout onpor-
shaken off the knee injuries that
have plagued him for two sea -
sons and appears to be healthy
at last.
Wall hit 13 points and hauled1
down 11 rebounds Wednesday
night as the Bears dumped St.
Mary's 65-50 in the season's
opener for both squads. Califor
nia built up a 33-22 halflime
lead and the Gaels only man
aged to match the Bears when
the latter put in their reserves.
Wall was helped out by Dan
Wolthcrs, who meshed 18, but
the real key to the Bears' suc
cess was its traditional pressure-style
of play which forced
the Gaels into numerous errors.
