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

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

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

be a peak year for the Cougars,
who will lose most of the ttars
lrom a great lme after this season.
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

Steve Roake and Southpaw Sandy

6. Stanford. Chuck Taylor (no

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.

8. Oreeon State. 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

slate the Beavers could be rough.

Webfoots were plucked almost
clean by graduation. Shaw, Fheis

returning, but this is going to be
an uphill season.

Game Hides
By WARREN PAGE
NEA Shooting Editor
When you read those state game
commission statistics based on
game surveys, hot dope that a
given state has umpty-ump thou
sand deer within Its borders, don't
kid yourself that the figures mean
so many deer per square mile,
evenly scattered over the entire
possible deer range.
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

Anchorage. 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

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

ultimate effect, a pocket rich with
game.

SAN FRANCISCO Wl The San

champion Cleveland Browns In a
National Football League exhibi

with an injured foot, will be re
placed in the starting offensive
backfield by rookie Carroll Hardy,
the Colorado hot-shot, as the 49ers
go after their third triumph in four
exhibition starts,
There's no secret that the 49er
coaching staff, from Norman
(Red) Strader on down, is high on
Hardy. 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
