were by narrow margins. WSC, in
winning six of 11 starts, had
scoring average about 10 points
per game lower than Washington's.
The Huskies will be counting on
tall Dean Parsons to lead them
Into the win column. Parsons, of
Eugene, Ore., has averaged 18.3
points per game for Washington
this year. He win nook up in a
duel with WSC's Ron Bennlnk,
who has averaged 19 points per
fame.
Orecon State's big (7-foot-3) gun
of course, will be Swede Holbrook,
currently leading the Northern Di
vision in scoring with 237 points
in 10 games. Halbrook towers over
team that averages 6-6 ana
boasts a win over defending NCAA
champion Indiana among its -sev

PHILADELPHIA Wl The Na-1
tional Football League and the
Canadian professional leagues were
at open "war" Friday with the
cream of American' football play
ers as the booty.
The long-time friction over con
tracting players between the U.S.
league and Its northern rivals
erupted Thursday in a series of
charges, counter-c harges and
counter-counter-charges.
Orvflle Burke, vice-president of
the Calgary Stampeders, said an
all out war over players was in
the offing and accused the NFL
of ' hiring a "propagandist" to
slander the Canadian game and
persuade U.S. college players to
stay home.
The NFL's voluble commission
er, Bert. Bell, replied "if they (the
Canadian leagues) want a war;
over players we'll give them one. j
At least we haven't gone out and
signer players we Knew were un
der contract to somebody else the
way they did."
Asked about the "propagandist"
charge, Bell replied:
"If he means we are telling the
American players the truth about
Canadian football, then we've
hired a propagandist."
Bell said the NFL had hired a
man to go on the road and tell
the graduating college f o o t b a 1
players the difference between
American and Canadian pro foot
ball conditions.
Bell's volley was answered by
Jim McCaffrey, a Canadian Rub
by Union executive, who said the
commissioner was mostly "pop
ping oil" wnen be spoke of a play,
