SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE NINE Seer Hewins Says USC looms As P(C Champ Br JACK HEWINS SEATTLE W One of our biggest fans is Dick Taylor, the mayor of Mukilteo, and we don't say this merely because Richard is nine axehandles high and four across. Dick is a Stanford man and be awaits with patience our annual football prediction, with whicn you, too, are aucut to be aftlicied. When we rate Stanford with the also-ran Dick takes heart. - He knows bis alma mater is due tor a tremen dous season. There is no use forchig all you Stanford people to wade through an acre of print to learn the good news. Your team is picked for sixth spot by the Hewins Close-Your-Eyes-and-Point Patented Ra ting system. Go ahead and reserve jour Rose Bowl tickets. 1 It's hard to see how anybody can crack the Los Angeles monopoly on the Pacific Coast Conference championship tbis season. The only northern team which appears to have an outside chance is Wash ington State, which catches U.C. L.A. in Cougar Valley Oct. 1. The title fight shapes up as a struggle between U.C. L.A. and Southern California again, with maybe a slight edge to the Tro jans. This points the Bruins for the Rose Bowl, as conference rules won't let Troy repeat. Except for W.S.C., the battle cry of the rest of the teams has a familiar ring: "Wait 'till next year!" Let's run down the prospects, in probable order of finish: 1. Southern Ca). Tremendous line power plus terrific speed. Jess Hill always has a batch of good sopho mores and Juniors to fill gradua tion gaps and press his senior vet erans. This year he has recruits from the best frosh team on the coast In 1954. And Jon Arnett is about the fastest back alive. Hill Toughest Grid Slate Faces Stanford Team Editor's note: Seventh of a series on the prospects of Pacific Coast Conference teams for . the 1955 football season.) - . STANFORD, Calif. (UP) The Stanford Indians are facing their toughest schedule in history as Jar as Coach Chuck Taylor is con cerned and the gritty red-head re fuses to play his usual optimistic role. . After meeting Ohio State in a nationally televised game October 1, Taylor's warriors take on Mich igan State and UCLA in that or der. UCLA TOUGH , - "It will be hard for me io real ize that UCLA Is as tough as last year's squad which beat us 12-0." Taylor saia. aui nea oanucia still may have the best team in the conference; He Is Just playing possum when he says that Stan ford or Southern California will go to the Rose Bowl." Taylor lists Stanford's strong points as 1) A more experienced team than last year 2) more depth at the backs and 3) no Ir replaceable losses among the 10 lettermen who departed. He has JO coming back. "I'm also expecting to see good competition for all the positions," Taylor said. "That is another thing which helps build a team." What about that mighty consign ment of sophomores Sanders said would help Stanford sweep into the Rose Bowl? "Listen." Taylor said. "The only sophomore who has a chance of making the first string is Lou Val li. the fullback. He has good run ning know-how, can block and seems solid on defense." MIGHT SURPRISE However, he did allow that Jack Douglas, another soph, "might surprise" in the battle for the quarterback spot which presum ably is a two-way affair between John Brodie and Jerry Gustafson. "Brodie and Gu3tafson alter nated most of last season but this year we want to start with the position definitely belonging to somebody." iayior saia. Brodie has the advantage of be ing a good passer while Gustaf son excels as a take charge guy. Tne ends are a question mark and one of the team's biggest weakneses. Taylor said. "John Stewart could have played better last year and will have to hustle this time to beat out Carl Isaacs for left end." Taylor said. "Dick Stein, another soph, also has looked good there." "Jerry Beatie. a JV transfer, is tabbed for right end pending a check on the veteran Steve Doc ter who missed spring practice because of injuries. BACK SHIFT A principal shift in the back field will be the switching of Paul Camera, a third string fullback last year, to the flanker -back spot In Taylor's T-system. Camera looked impressive this spring at that spot, which calls for a lot of linebacking. Gordy Young figures as the run ning back along with fullback Bill Tarr, who led the team in net yards gained last year. Barring injuries, Taylor thinks Pennant Shop Nine Nabs Regional Title SEATTLE Bellcvue's Air fly'rs handed the Olympia Can nerettes. defending champions, a 2-0 defeat Friday night in the wo men's regional softball tournament h;re.

Joe Matlick, left, president of the local men's league, and Norm Guyer, manager of Suburban, look over the trophies that will be presented to the winners. Tempo VII Speeds To Cup Victory DETROIT I Guy Lombardo's Tempo VII roared to a resounding victory Saturday in the Silver Cup regatta, topping a dozen rivals on the Detroit River. The sleek New York Craft, driv en by Danny Foster, won the sixth and deciding heat by a scant 100 feet over Gale V. winner of the Gold Cup earlier In the month. But Tempo VII piled up 1.100 points in" the final standings, out distancing Miss Pepsi and Gale VI, which finished in a second-place tie with 869 points. Th nm.rar fnvnritP. Seattle's Miss Thriftway, finished a disap-1 pointing fourth in -the linal. de ciding heat and wound up in filth place in the point standings with a 623 total. She was disqualified in the final heat after cutting a buoy and placed last. Horace Dodge's Dora My Sweetie, winner of the Silver Cup last year, was fourth with "5 points, while Miss U.S. was sixth with 509.

Switching to the split-T should help the offense but backfield speed, al though improved, may remain a problem. If Al Kircher can keep Bob Miller healthy and ready the Cougars could be rough. Rugged sophomores like Bill riteiger and Ray Alvarado could force their way into the starting backfield. 4. California. You can listen when Pappy Waldorf sings the blues. He s hurting for a quarter back to replace Paul Larson and his line lacks experience. But the vast California manpower pool makes California a constant threat. This was supposed to be a Ronnie Knox year at Cat and wnen he took a walk to UCLA he left Pappy quarterback-shy, K Washington. .Tnhnnv fTherberff didn't lose anybody of consequence nff hU sntlflri bpRaus there was nobody left to lose when the season ended.

He has good linemen, good running backs. 6. Stanford. Chuck Taylor (no relation to Dick) has a habit of coming up with a good team when least expected. This year he has 22 lettermen returning, headed by Billy Tarr of Bellingham. Add 31 men up from last year's good squad, plus four linemen who were held out last year. Two veteran quarterbacks may be brushed aside bv SoDh Jack Douglas. But .still the prospects look like Tarr and Jcatners. 7. Idaho.

Tommy Prothro moves In at Corvallis to pick up a team that was mostly sophomores and Juniors last year and improved with every gome. A scrappy frosh squad will contribute to team pow er and morale. By the close of the slate the Beavers could be rough. 9. Oregon. One of the top choices ut the start of last season, the Webfoots were plucked almost clean by graduation.

Game animals don't operate that way. Regardless of the species, they tend to bunch in relatively limited areas, to gather in pockets. And the same is true of primitive areas, wilderness where to the lay man's eye there's no reason why there shouldn't be sheep or moose or bars almost everywhere, even ly spread. The vast expanse of Yukon Ter ritory, for example, country which represents a hoped-for paradise to many hunters, has spots which are bereft of game, whether because of Improper feed, epidemics from which the critters normal to the locality haven't recovered, or an outbreak of won pronation. A shooting buddy of mine once traveled 10 days in a Yukon area which five years before had been prime trophy-hunting without spot ting enough game to smeu up tne skillet. Yet only a lew miles north west of him, a party hunting at the same time was knocking over full bags of moose, sheep, caribou and grizzly. The why of the con trast may forever be a mystery. One of the richest game pockets I've ever probed in my hunting travels is a hook-shaped jvauey from which opens Rainy Pass, cut ting the Alaska Range west ot Mount McKinley and northwest of Qualifying Golf Play Set For National Am NEW YORK m Qualifying play for the 52nd National Amateur Golf Championship wilt be held this week with 1.496 of the record total of 1,507 entrants competing for the 189 places.

Batting around with Bud Branham there this past spring in pursuit of an early grizzly, I saw more moose than an electronic IBM machine could tally. We auit looking at 'em after the first few days. Bunches of four or five certainly couldn't at tract much attention after wed seen 28 out on one 10-acre river bnr. And of those a high percent age were bulls, quite obviously big enough to sprout antlers of Boon & Crockett spreads, over 65 inches, come fall. In the upper end of the valley, where stone caribou winter, there were square mues oi snow cut oy caribou hooves pawing down to the moss. Since the snow still lay four or five feet deep over much of the valley and Its surrounding sheep mountains, I can't honestly say that this pocketing of game critters was due to lush feed conditions during the growing season, though that seems reasonable. Very likely Branham's ten-year labors of steady wolf-hunting and trapping have had something to do with it. The true cause is probably im portant only to a biologist. The hunter Is concerned only with the ultimate effect, a pocket rich with game. fiW& WttUTMB HOUSE YOU PICK UP THE AND SAY "LOOK (L 410 S. 6TH PMon 4113 LI Mi.UII IIMI f v First Global Series Slated By GEORGE ARMOUR United Press Sports Writer MILWAUKEE.

There's no secret, either, that with McElhenny out the club's offense will hurt, Kardy was almost strlct.'y a de fensive halfback until tli.s week when it became definite that the foot McElhenny hurt against Pitts burgh two weeks ago was going to keep him on the bench Sunday. Then the youngster, who still is undecided on whether to make football or baseball his career, was told to learn the signals to take over the right halfback slot. "He's an all-around terrific play er." according to Assistant Coacb Phil Bengston. "It's amazing how fast he's catching on." The kid from Colorado will be the only rookie in the starting backfield as announced by Stra der. Flanking him In the backfield will be John Henry Johnson at right half, Y. A.
