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.

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.-

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. Goodwin as president of
the Pacific Coast League were the
main topics today as the PCL
opened its annual meeting here.
The National League club, rep
resented by Braves Vice President
Joseph F. Cairnes, said it was in

However. Cairnes has remained
mum on what kind of an offer 1

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.

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. -
