Parrish, who teamed with the big halfback during their high school
grid activities. ' , ,
For the Klamath Union High School Pelicans, the spirit is
very good for this time of the year, but the lack of size In the back
field and depth in the line brings problems to Coach John McGlnnis.
Team spirit and hustle can offset the size problem, but depth is one
thing the Pelican coaching staff has to master. Here especial y
(KUHS) is where a few surprises may be seen before the pigskin
parade has passed for the 1955 season. Grants Pass is definitely
the pre-season favorite for the conference, but the Pels could make
it rough If they set their sights on the matter.
In the county league, the same five schools that fought for the
honors last year will again field teams. Sacred Heart, Malln, Bonan
za Merrill and Chiloquin will comprise the County B League.
Henley, an A-2 school, will be Included In the schedule, but the games
will not count toward the standings.
Our only hope In the county picture is that someone takes It
upon themselves to see that each county league game has an official
statistician to keep record of the first downs and total yardage to
avert a reoccurrence of the 1954 "mess." Last year Malln and
Chiloquin tied in their only game and at the last count of the stand
ings the two teams were undefeated, but had a single deadlock. So
what had to happen? A vote of the league members. If there had
been an official keeping records of the game, the standoff could
have been settled and the arguments that followed would have never
come about.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A pair of Rons-Navy's Beagle
and Michigan's Kramer - offer ex
cellent reasons why college foot
ball players seeking national
recognition this season should
avoid end assignments.
An abundance of grid talent
spells keen competition for star
dom in the fast approaching
campaign. But Beagle and Kramer
begin ahead of the field as wing
men. As an All America and Maxwell
Trophy winner in 1954, Beagle was
exceptional on defense, the equal
of any blocker and a good recei
ver. Kramer has been tabbed on of
the greatest athletes in Michigan
history. In his sophomore year he
caught 23 passes for 303 yards,
averaged 41.4 yards in punting
While drawing raves on defense.
Maryland's BUI Walker belongs
in the Beagle - Kramer class.
Behind the trio stand the hope
fuls Including UCLA's all-purpose
end, Rommle Loudd. He's Joined
by 6-foot-6 LaMar Lundy of Pur
due. John Stewart of Stanford and
Jim Carmichael of California are
hack after ranking second and
third, nationally, as pass receiv
ers last fall. '
Bob Davenport of UCLA and
Joe Childress of Auburn rule the
fullback crop. Davenport, already
the best fullback in Bruin history
and the "clutch" man of Red
Sanders' smooth single wing attack
gets a chance for recognition with
the graduation of '54 All America
Alan Amecne ol Wisconsin.
HERALDED
Arkansas' Henry Moore, Notre
Dame's Don Scheffer and Virgi
nia's heralded sophomore, Jim
Bakhtlar, rate mention. So do Joe
Miller of Cincinnati, Bobby Gar
rard of Georgia, John B a y u k
of Colorado, Billy Tarr of Stan
ford, Joe Ulm of San Jose State
and Oregon soph Jack Morris,
The quarterback picture is not
as clear cut. The surprise man o:
Navy's "Team Named Desire" of
'54. George Welsh, is in the front
ranks. He capped a fine season
bv running the split-T flawlessly
against Mississippi in the Sugar
Bowl.
All American Howard (Hopa-
long) Cassady of Ohio State's de
fending national champions heads
the list of halfbacks. Cassady's
pass defense and breakaway runs
keyed the Buckeyes' big wins over
Wisconsin and Michigan.
Ronnie Knox, the celebrated
transfer from California, becomes
eligible at UCLA. If he proves
he can run like he can pass and
kick he'll be "Fort Knox" at tall
back for the again-powerful Bruins.
REMINDS
Hugh Pitts of Texas Christian,
who reminds observers of the great
Kl Aldrlch C38), could be the best
center in the land. Oklahoma's
Jerry Tubbs, USC's Marv Goux
and Florida's Steve oeiatorre win
do most of the contesting on that
score.

of 1956 should include Calvin Jones

Upset Uclans1 Coach
By BOB MYERS
LOS ANGELES Ml It seems
that many college football observ
ers have already decided that
UCLA will be the 1955 mythical
national champion, a decision vig
orously deplored by the coach of
the Bruins, Henry R. (Red) San
ders. UCLA bids fair to be a power,
but it also seems fair to point out
that if the team from Westwood
does make such an exalted grade,
Mr. Sanders may be rated a true
magician.
True, UCLA was unbeaten In
nine games last year, whipping
sucb good teams as Maryland and
its entire slate of Pacific Coast
Conference opponents.
Unfortunately, Mr. Sanders must
use the forces at hand in 1955, not
1954, and among those missing will
be nine of the 11 men who capped
the season with a 34-0 rout of
Southern California both ends,
tackles, guards and center, his
blocking back and the most effec
tive tailback in the school's his
tory. The Sanders critics, of which the
University of Southern California
delegation may be considered en
masse since Red has beaten the
Trojans four out of six games, are
quick to contradict any idea of a
UCLA shortage of talent.
Well aware that the conference
fight figures to be between USC
and UCLA, the Trojan backers ar
gue that there wasn't much dif
ference from the Bruin first team
and the reserve material. They say
Sanders always comes up with
stout help and they concede that
Sanders himself Is one fine college
coach.
Well, and so, but Sanders still
has to field a 1955 team that will
match the nine players he lost if
UCLA is to win the conference
championship and the Rose Bowl
assignment New Year's Day.
UCLA has two outstanding pros
pects for All-America considera
tion, fullback Bob Davenport and
guard Hardiman Cureton. Daven
port was No. 2 in the nation behind
Alan Ameche of Wisconsin last
year, and at this stage could be
regarded as a standout for the top
snot tills year.
Cureton was so-called second
team in 1954, but, and here the
Sanders critics do have a point, he
pup
Ph. 2-1677
801 Broad
was second team in name only.
The tailback position in the San
ders' balanced line single wing of
fense is the key man. Sanders has
come up with a succession of good
ones since he came to UCLA, the
latest being Paul Cameron and
last year Prlmo Villanueva.
Doug Bradley, an understudy
last fall, has first call on the running-passing
Job this year, but
pressing for attention are several .
other worthy contenders, including
the widely publicized Ronnie Knox,
late of the California Bear fresh
man team.
Knox, they say, thus far rates
about third despite his passing
ability. But the young man, many
believe, will be a factor as the
season and his experience with the
tailback routine progresses.
Wingback Jim Decker and Bob
Bergdahl at the quarter, or block
ing back, round out the potential
backfield.
Ends Johnny Hermann and Rom
mle Loudd, tackles Roger White
and Gil Moreno, guards Cureton
and Jim Brown, and center Steve .
Palmer make up the front line
force.
Reserves behind them? That's a
Sanders problem.
One thing is for sure. The first
three games on the Bruin schedule
may tell the story for 1955. UCLA
leads off with Texas A it M here,
then Maryland at College Park and
Washington State at Pullman.
Maryland, obviously potntina for
the team that smashed its big
hopes last autumn, could well
make idiots of those who already
have acclaimed UCLA as the na
tional champion for 1955.
