Waldorf
Defended
By Scribe
SAM FRANCISCO (UP) The
fat man from Strawberry Canyon,
Mr. Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf; Is
getting a bum rap, if you ask me.
After never haviug a losing sea
son in the eight years he has
been there, some screwballs have
taken it upon themselves to hang
portly Pappy in effigy: othis al
ready are stumping for a new
coach; and there is a general
feeling of 'dissatisfaction among
some alumni and students because
of the poor 1955 showing.
As Waldorf explains: "It's' all
part of the hazards of being in
the football coaching business."
But Is It?
What do the alumni and students
expect?
There' isn't a coach who ever
lived who could guarantee to have
a winning season, every year at
University - of California. If It
could be done, it would break up
the Pacific Coast Conference.
TOUGH CONFERENCE
Sure, Bud Wilkinson is doing a
good Job of winning all the time
at Oklahoma. But don't forget
that playing in the Big Seven Isn't
like competing in the Big Ten or
clubs like Michigan, Wisconsin,
the PCC. If Wilkinson had to meet
Michigan State, and Iowa or USC.
Stanford, UCLA and Washington
every week, he'd find some
skimpy seasons.
In eight years at Ca), prior to
this campaign, Waldorf had won
62, lost 118 and tied three. What is
expected? Miracles?
I recall jvhen Pappy moved
from his comfortable position at
Northwestern University in the
Big Ten.
"I came here because it Is a
challenge," said Pappy.
California had just come off a
season under Frank Wickhorst in
which the club had won only two
games and Waldorf wanted to see
if he could build a gridiron em
pire. How well he succeeded may be
seen from the fact that In the next
four years he sent three teams to
the Rose Bowl. He scoured the
state from north to south and
west to east lining up young high
school talent. He organized Cali
fornia clubs and did such a good
Job of it that I recall a statement
by a University of Southern Cali
fornia alumnus.
THOROUGH JOB
"W a 1 d o r f has done such a
thorough organization Job for re
cruiting talent In this state that it
will be many years before USC or
UCLA will be back in the gridiron
picture I"
On the coaching side, some
will be many years before USC or
claim that he should be using the
single-wing Instead of the "T" for
mation. But these complaints
come from the same people who
demanded a "T" formation coach
when Pappy was hired.
When Waldorf took over at Cal,
a national magazine hal an ar
ticle calling the Golden Bear In
stltutlon the "coaches graveyard"
because of the fact that Cal had
a new coach nearly every year.
Well, Pappy has out-lived all
the "graveyard" charges, so may
be he has no complaint, at that..

Bird Season Outlook
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oregon's waterfowl and upland
bird hunting seasons open Satur
day a half hour before sunrise and
there are two areas offering bright
prospects: the Klamath Basin for
waterfowl and Umatilla County for
pheasant.
with attention of hunters swing
ing away from big game the gen
eral deer season closes Friday
the State Game Commission issued
this report of weekend prospects
for shotgun hunters:
Northwest
Pheasant hunters have good
prospects in all parts of the north
Willamette Valley. In addition to
wild birds to be found in good
habitat, 1,500 cock pheasants were
released recently in ClacKamas,
Marion. Washington and Yamhill
counties. In the southern valley
pheasant and quail hunting should
be fair to good.
Waterfowl hunting Is not prom
ising except on a few of the better
ponds.
Southwest
Native bird populations are high
and hunters should have no trouble
finding them anywhere. Cock
pheasants have been released In
Sams Valley and on Camp White
lands. Douglas County prospects
are very good. Hunters are re
minded that permission of land
owners is required.
Waterfowl prospects in Coos and
Curry countie3 are poor; few birds
are in the area at this time.
Central
Pheasant hunting should be fair
to good In Wasco, Sherman and
Jefferson counties. Quail hunting

Waterfowl hunting will be fair

Southeast
Pheasant hunting in the, region
of the Summer Lake management
area should be very good but in

than last year.
In the Summer Lake manage

now on hand 125.000 geese, mostly
snows: 20.000 ducks and 1.200 to
1.500 honkers. With clear weather
shooting will be fair to good; if
weather Is stormy, it will be good
to excellent.

Miami,
TCU In
Top Game
By HAL WOOD '
ATLANTA (UP) The Miami
Hurricanes will make, one more
desperate bid to grab at least a
small portion of the national prom
inence they had expected as they
go against tough Texas Christian
this week.
The Hurricanes, who have lost
their two big games to Georgia
Tech and Noire Dame, will not be
able to reach the heights predicted
lor1 them even if they win all of
the rost, but a victory over TCU's
Horned Frogs would do much to
relieve a critical situation.
This was to be Miami's, year.
A of I the ' pre-scason forecasters
included the Magic City team
amons their ton ten picks, and
ft wi i went so far as to predict
Miami wins, over Tech and Notre
Dame tor an unbeaten season
Miami fans, long eager to gel
Into "big time football, got a
preview of what to expect in the
Hurricane's first attempt. Against
Georgia Tech, Miami did every
thing but outscore the favored Cot
ton Bowl champs.
The Hurricanes demonstrated a
fine running game, but also an in
ability to score, or to produce in
the clutch. Tech cashed in both of
its scoring opportunities for a U-6
victory.
It was the same story against
Notre Dame. Miami had six op
portunities to score against the
Fighting Irish, but not once could
thev crash the goal line. Notre
Dame had Just two chances and
won, 14-0.
The two loses and the lack of a
touchdown punch started Orange
Bowl faithful calling for some
changes. Pressure was put
Miami Coach Andy Oustafson to
change his line-up and somehow
breathe some fire in the Hurri
canes. TCU could be Just what the
doctor, ordered. The Horned Frogs
were "considered the class of the
Southwestern Conference before
last week's surprising loss to Tex
as A&M. TCU Is still considered
one of the best teams from the
cowboy country.
Miami will be working In the
friendly confines of the Orange
Bowl, and If the Hurricanes can
find a scoring punch they might
well explode out ot their slump.
However, nothing ahort of a win
over the Horned Frogs will satisfy
Miami fans. After TCU, Miami
meets Pittsburgh, Boston College,

Still seeking their first win of
the season, the Oregon Tech Owls
pack their bags and head north
for a Saturday allcinoon Oregon
Colieglate Conference battle with
the Portland State College Vikings
on Lincoln High'3 football" field.
Kickoff time for the Saturday
afternoon conference outing Is
scheduled for 2 o'clock.
Coach Rex Hunsaker's Owls have
found the season lot be a touh
row to hoe so far In losing four
straight games. In the four games
played to date. Tech has been
ablo to cross the opposition's gopl
line only three times,-, while' the
Tech foes have fo'ind the end fcone
for 170 points. But! -of; the 4aur

Tomorrow's clash against the
Vikuvrs will probably go n. loivf
way In d.Hormining the cellar po

time; Portland Slate has been uu
nb!e to p!ck off a conference win
In two tries, while Tech has been
stopped by B.stcrn Oreion in
their only try at counting competi
tion. .
TOE SPRAIN
The Owls are expected to go Into
the afternoon game without the
services of quarterback Don Stone
hill. "Stoney" is still suffering
from a severe toe sprain that he
occurred In the Compton Junior
College - OTI contest. Replacing
Stonehill at quarterback will be
Dave Thomas or Toby Moore. Cal
"Sugar Jet" Smith, starting half
back may also see some asignal
calling duties for the Owls.
Working with Thomas or Moore
In the OTI starting backfield will
be Mike Campbell and Smith at
halfbacks, and either Frank Dunn
or Scott Hartley at fullback. Hart
ley, a former county B - league
star at Chllonuln, has been push
lng Dunn for a starting spot and
is expected to see nlentv of action
against the Vikings.' Other backs
who will probsblv be used against
PSC include halfbacks Willie Stin-
son and Harry Juul. r ,
In the line. Hunsaker said the
two starting end positions will be
srlven to Al Van Leuven and
Charles Eccelston, with Paul
Teagle and Leon Filers expected
to draw Uie first call at tackle.
The sound's mlghty-mltes, Stan
smith and Olen Rngan win oc
Tech's opening guard selections
and either Bert Dilly or Lyle Loffer
will be at center.' t-.
OFFENSIVE THREAT
For Portland 8 t a t e College,
coach Ralph Davis, in his first
season as head coach at Portland
8tate, said he would probably go
with a half veteran-ha,lf freshman
backfield against the Owls. The
returnlnT lettermen .are halfbacks
Herm Wlnterholler and Curtis
Knight, who is the team's leading
offensive threat. Combining with
Wlnterholler and Knirrht in Uie PSC
backfield will be fullback Chuck
Withers and nuartorback Bob Gill.
The tentative starters for the
Viking line finds Jerry Splvey and
Dave Starbuck at ends, Oerald
Mauer and Jack Roberts nt tack
le. Cliff Wise and Jack Knudscn
at guard and Martin King nt cen
ter. Knudsen and Roberts, bul-
walks of the Portland State line, ,
are both lettermen as are Mauer,
Starbuck and Klug. Klrby Hall, a
letterman guard may draw a start-1
ing position for the Viks.
