THlfaSDAY, NOVEMBER 10. )955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN UCLA Bruins See loul iid With Triumph Over Huskies Br THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The UCLA Bruins, confident a victory over Washington Saturday will open the Pacific Coast Con ference gates to the Rose Bowl, are going about their preparations for the Husky Invasion in a brisk, businesslike manner.. , , . That's the word from the UCLA training camp, where the Bruins Wednesday spent considerable time on pass patterns and defense. Ronnie Knox, Sam Brown and Gerry McDougall were completing most of their throws. The Huskies' coach, John Cher berg, gave his team a rough, tough scrimmage session seeking a way to stop the nigh-unstoppable Bruin attack. There wasn't much confi dence along the sidelines that Cherberg had found the answers to his most pressing problems. The Huskies will arrive In Los Angeles Friday and work out that afternoon. In Palo Alto, Stanford Coach Chuck Taylor, almost made his weekly prediction of success this time against Oregon. Oregon Coach Len Casanova said he was pleased with his varsity in a full scale scrimmage against Stanford formations. The 37-man squad leaves for Palo Alto Thurs day night by train. The California Bears .went through what Coach Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf called "a very good" de fensive drill in preparation for the game with Oregon State In Berk eley. Waldorf announced this starting lineup: Center, Don Mitchell; left guard, Don Gilkey; right guard, Carlos Fackrell; left tackle Bob Oliver; right tackle, Ron Wheat croft; left end, Capt. Jim Car michael: right end. Bill Vallotton; quarterback, Ralph Hoffman; right half. Ted Granger: left half, John Wilson, and fullback, Steve Dim eff. Oregon State Coach Tommy Frothro tentatively listed Ray Westfal to start at tailback against California in place of the Injured Joe Francis. Other backfield start ers will be co-captain Ron Siegrist, ouarterback: Sam Wesley,' nan- back and Tom Berry, fullback. The winless Idaho Vandals work ed out under the lights and Coach Skip Stahley indicated the Vandals will throw a lot of passes against Brieham Young at Provo Friday. Coach Al Kircher alternated three backfields as the Washington stale. Cnucars ran through a long practice session on a wet and slip- nerv field, me cougars piny ou i Jose State at Pullman Saturday, ii and they fully expect the Spartans : to fill the air with looioaus. Sammy Baugh Say. s Graham Views Wrong ABILENE. Tex. 11 Sam Baugh, who was In professional football longer than any other man, says Otto Graham, the Cleveland Browns quarterback, "is away off base" in his complaint of dirty playing 1n the National Football League. . Graham, injured in the first half of last Sunday's game with the New York Giants, said football is getting "rougher and rougher" and unless something is done '.'It will get out of hand." Baugh. who was quarterback of the Washington Redskins for 16 years but retired two years ago and now is head coach at Hardin- Simmons University, commented that "The quarterback doesn't take the beating that the other guys do up there.. Ii Graham thinks he's got it rough, let him play fullback where he 11 carry the ball more, He'll find out that he's got a pretty good deal. Besides, the pros have given him a pretty good living haven t they?" Baugh told Don Oliver, sports writer for the Abilene Reporter. News, that the opposing line Is ' supposed" to rack the passer, "Nobody likes to get the thunder knocked out of him but that's part of pro football and you've got to expect it." Baugh said in his opinion the pro league officials protect the passers better than college of ficials do. "I noticed they'd try to watch it but in college ranks they don't call it as close after a thrown ball." he explained. "The people who support pro football by buying tickets expect to see the best football played any where. They should see the most vicious blocking and hardest tack ling. If they don't they're not get ting their money s worm.- Neil Johnson Scoring Again By UNITED PRESS Lantern - Jawed Neil Johnston, the scoring champion of the Na tional Basketball Association for the last three seasons, is on the target again and the Philadelphia Warriors have begun their hopeful quest for a title. Johnston, six-foot, eight-Inch for mer baseball pitcher, notched only U points in the Warriors' opening same loss, but Wednesday night he found the range for 29 points and that helped Philadelphia to a i 117-106 triumph over the Minnea polis Lakers. Paul Arizin, a former scoring champion, added 21 points to boost the Warrior attack while Clyde Lovellette led the Lakers with 21. The Warriors led by only 57-45 at halfttme but built the margin to M-82 at the start of the fourth peri od and Minneapolis never drew close again. Actually the Lakers i had one more basket, but Phila delphia collected 41 free throws to only 28 for the Lakers. PCL Directors Study Offer, Prexy's Future VANCOUVER. B.C., (UP) I Milwaukee's offer to buy the San Francisco Seals and the future of Claire V.

Today,- the presidents of the International League. Amer ican Asaociation and Pacific Coast League, and George Trautman. head of the minors, tell what Is being done. . By CARL LUNDQU1ST United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Minor leafcue baseball Is making a come back. A year ago there were doubts in some quarters about its survival. Now the executives of the big minor leagues, which were in the most trouble, feel that they not only will survive i but prosper. "We hear much about the de plorable condition of the minors but the comments are not- based on fact," said George Trautman, the national president of minor league basebal. I am optimistic. Certainly there is no thought of liquidation. If we have a corpse' on our hands, It is a most unusual one because It Is alive and kicking." Ed Doherty, president of the American Association, said "The 1955 season was the best for us since the late:1940's and we figure to do even better next year." Frank Saughnessy. the veteran head of the International League, said bluntly that "The only trouble with the minor leagues ts the majors." We would be a lot better off If they would leave us alone," he declared. "Our league is working toward complete independence of the majors. The only exception is Montreal, where Brooklyn keeps the team well-stocked with play ers. It is the only way. We have enough troubles of our own without worrying about what some major league club Is going to do." PACIFIC COAST Claire V. Goodwin, who took of fice last winter as the new Pacific Coast League president, acknowl edged that in some spots there was trouble last year, but "tne ouiiook for next season Is very good." The franchise shift from oak- land to Vancouver in British Col umbia win be very beneficial and attendance also should be much better In Portland where the club is shifting' into a different stadi um," he iald. ; Goodwin said the chief menace to baseball in the Pacific Coast League (was talk of major league expansion, but that because of an edict by Commissioner Ford prick, baseball people have stopped doing that. "Talk of expansion by the ma jors definitely was detrimental to the coast." Goodwin said, vin the first DJace I don't see where any major league club could play out here Uecause mere; are no. iacm- ties for them." r . nnlKIt TRANSFERS In addition to the Oakland switch to Vancouver, there nave been various other transfers In re cent vears. The American Associ ation now stretches 1800 miles from Charleston. W.Va., to Den ver, Colo. The league's two newest members. Denver and omana Neb., had big years at the gate In 1955. Denver led all minor lpcrua clubs with 426,248 paid ad missions and Omaha was well up on the list with 316,012. But moving a franchise has not always been a panacea for base' ball's Ills. Charleston had decreas ing, attendance year by year since it went to tne Association in- tvro. And In the International League, Richmond, Va., had such troubles that the uovernment seized the cinh for tax debts. Yet at Havana, Cuba, a real baseball hot spot, attendance was mood the first year and up 20 per cent last season. Generally, It ap pears, moving a franchise Is help ful to a league provmea it can oe moved to the right spot. HOCKEY . By TIIE- ASSOCIATED PRESS WESTERN LEAGUE ' i Seattle 5, Saskatoon 3 Edmonton 3.

U!f . .. ies Vital In NFL Race By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer The most Important question you can ask a National Football League coach after a game is: How many of your players were badly hurt? The 1953 and 1954 squad lists kept by NFL headquarters show that the most successful teams In those years generally were those which sufiered the least injuries. Las season, the Cleveland Browns won the Eastern Division and league championships. Twenty six Brownies appeared in all of the team's 12 regular season games and four others appeared in all except one. None of the other 11 clubs had so many members of their 33-man squads play in so many games. The 1954 Detroit Lions, a team three-deep In talent, won the West ern, Division crown with 21 men appearing in 12 games and eight others playing in all but one. The second-place Chicago Bears had 26 men who played in all their games and one who appeared In 11. Green Bay, however, wound up fifth In the Western race last year although It also, had 26 men who played In every : game , and one who took part In 11. The teams which suffered least from injuries also were most suc cessful In 1953.. Detroit won Western Division, and league titles with 21 players appearing in games and seven playing In all but, one. Cleveland won the East ern race with 25 men who played in 12 games and three who ap peared in 11. The Philadelphia Eagles 'finished second to Cleve land with tne same ngures. The Los Angeles Rams and Ban Francisco Forty-Nlners were also rans In 1953 and 1854 although both squads were loaded with talent. Both also were hit heavily by in juries, i The record shows that Coach Paul Brown's Cleveland team has had more men appear. In 11 or more games than any other NFL chib during the past two seasons. The loss of a star because of an injury may play an important part In Sunday s "Dig- game Be tween the Rams and Bears at Chicago, The Rams, leading the Western race by one game, may play without end Bob Boyd, a top pass receiver and probably the league s fastest man wno is nuro- omi in v a- ---lng a leg Injury. 1 168tt. - WHAT EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WHISKY OVER 50 OF AMERICA'S WHISKY IS PRODUCED IN KENTUCKY BECAUSE KENTUCKY " WHISKY IS THE FINEST IN THE WORLD OF ALL THESE FINE WHISKIES, EARLY TIMES IS THE KENTUCKY STRAICHT WHISKY KENTUCKIANS OVERWHELMINGLY CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES.
