Klamath Kails' John Wltte. a 1951 graduate of Kl'HS, now at
Oregon State College, and Grants Pass1 Dick James, a member of
the Cavemen '52 graduating rlaia now at Oregon, are both serving
notice to members of the press and radio that they will have to be
reckoned with when it cornea lime to select all-conference and possibly
all-Ameriran honors at the close of the season.
Wltte Is regarded by almost all PCC aerlhes as the host tackle on
the roast and It Is beyond our reach Just how writers selecting the
all-1'arlflc t oast Conference tram can bypass the 210-opnud Junior.
According to Oregon State coach Tommy Prothro they come no better
than "'1111 John."
James Is collecting a long list of press clippings for his showings
with the "ireen and lemon" at Eugene. The pint-she hairbark has
broken Into the llmrlltht for the first time In his college dvs. and
what an Impression he has been leaving. The main reason people are
just celling around to recounting James' talents Is the fact he had

express Saturday by the Bruins

goal in the last 18 seconds of the
gamo to edge out a 19-17 Pacific
Coast Conference triumph.
Right halfback Jim Decker was
the hero in this dramatic finale
to a game that had 47,519 fans in
a state ot hysteria throughout the
fourth quarter.
The triumph nave UCLA Its fifth
conference victory against no de
feat and virtually cinched the bid
to represent the coast in the big
uowi jan. 2.
Washington, which had lost three
ana tied one In its last four games.
appeared to have added another
dramatic chanter to a dizzy foot
ball season as they went into the
nnal three minutes with a 17-14
lead.
The Huskies presented - UCLA
with two points on a safety to pre
vent the danger of a blocked Dunt.
There were 2 minutes and 61 sec
onds left in the game and that
leu the Huskies in front 17-16.
The Bruins drove from mldfield
to the Washington 19 to set up the
winning Held goal kick The ball
actually travelled 35 yards through
uie air off Decker's foot.
The Huskies, 4-touchdown tinder-
dog, had the Bruins and their back
ers dumfounded as they led 14-7
at the end of the first half, knock
ing the Bruins down for two touch
downs in the second quarter.
Washington made it 17-7 on a
34-yard field goal by Dean Derby
in the third period and an upset
was well in the making.
The Bruins' air attack was de
stroyed the first time they had the
ball when their star passer, Ron
nie Knox, was hurt and forced out
of the game.
They tried two passes In the
second quarter and the Huskies
turned the first into an Intercep
tion and a spectacular 61-vard
scoring run by halfback Jim Jones
of Seattle.
FOURTH RANKING , ,
This tied the score. UCLA, the
nation's fourth ranking team.

Houston caught a pass but fumbled
Decker recovered on the Washing
ton 44 and the Bruins went 4 yards
in 11 ground plays for a touch
down. Fullback Doug Peters scored
iiom tne one.
Wasnington went ahead on a 62-
yard punch downfield that took
lght plays and ended with a 10-
yard pass from quarterback Steve
Roake to halfback Bob Herring in
ine ena lone.
Derby added his second conver
sion and the half ended.
UCLA took the klckoff. ODenlmr

ers fumbled on the first play from
scrimmage. Guard Earl Monlux
recovered on the UCLA 29 and
Derby, six plays later, booted his
field goal. The ball travelled 42
yards from the point of the kick
through the goal posts.
Then is when UOLA. extremely
sluggish until this point, caught
nre. -iney hammered 69 yards in
11 running plays. Tailback - Sam
Brown, with runs good for 14. 15
16 and shorter gains, and the pow
er drives ot lunnack Bob Daven
port, contributed the entire yard
age. Davenport had been out of ac-
tlon since the California game
three weeks ago. It was big Bob
who crashed over from one yard
out to put UCLA back Into the ball
game. '
The hectic and bitter fourth ne.
riod then got under way. Wash
ington was repeatedly hurt badly
by penalities at the most unfor
tunate moments and was penalized
iu times tor 70 yards In the game.
The Bruins drove to the Wash
ington 14 but missed a fourth-down

NKAR FATAL
This proved to be a near fatal
two points. It cost them at least

Washington Football
Picture Has Problems
By JACK HEWINS
Associated Press Sports Writer
SEATTLE Wl Today's big
question in the region of tall girls
and beautiful trees goes about like
this: "What's wrong with foot
ball?" And you can fill In the
blank with "Washington State" or
"Washington," according to wherj
you reside In the state named for
George.
In Oregon the question is less
pressing and off times asked with
a chuckle. Nothing is wrong with
football in Oregon. Fans of Ore
gon State and the U. of O. ex
pected sad seasons and their teams
have surprised everybody, prob
ably even including themselves.
Washington State Collegers were
surprised, too, but In a somewhat
different fashion. This was to have
been a Cougar year. A big, ex
perienced team loomed as the Pa
cific Coast Conference dark horse
which quickly became a night
mare. It was apparent right from the
opening game that WSC was agon
izingly slow afoot and the serum
hasn't been invented that will put
speed In football players. The Cm
gar line opens holes that close be
fore the backs arrive. The Cougars
tackle grimly, but Grimly ne 'er
has the ball.
It's easy and natural to blame
the coach, so Al Klrcher is on tne
pan. ,
Up and down the Sound cnll'il
Puget reams are being written
about the Washington enigma. Tht

The team was playing better than
it could. And the players felt they
still were going loo per cent In the

Oregon State and California.

Guard Nat Davis. Fullback Bob Mc
Namee was on the shelf and Half
back Mike Monroe, although he
played Saturdays, had little heavy
work In practice because of . a
bruised shoulder. Reserve strength
was shallow.
Watson was a team - leader as
well as an outstanding center and
his loss took away some of the
team's spark. He was back for the
California tilt but far from top con
dition. Day is 245 pounds of rugged pow
er. In the USC game the opposing
center asked Dick to roll up his
sleeve to see if he was hiding
horseshoes or other weapons. Day
bared his arm with a grin. But the
Washington victory in . that game
may have played a part in the lat

USC players went home and toid
the people Washington played
rough. It sounded funny, coming
from a team which was accused of

a psychological effect on the Husk

out on every play but never to use
dirty tactics.
They're clean men." says Coach
Johnny Cherberg. "This charge of
unnecessary roughness may have
affected their, play without them

Cherberg, Incidentally, is strona-

LAUREL, Md. (UP) The well

It also raises the question of

El Chama was In. you mieht
say, on a pass. He was beaten
by Prendase two weeks ago in
one of Venezuela's top races. Off
badly, he ran third and his Irate
owner, Dr. Carlos Rlncones, who
studied at Kansas State and Colo

off as the choice, and took down
third place, while Traffic Judge,
the second choice, ran sixth. With
four horses in the race, against
nine from six other nations, the
other U.S. failures were Mister
Gus, which finished fifth, and
Aeschylus, way back In 12th place.
Three of the four U.S. horses
had been record breakers to re
cent efforts. But even under their
own conditions they couldn't stop
the two dueling Venezuelan colts.
It was a race which also proved
that Jt takes more than a eood
Jockey to bring a horse home on
top. . ,
These were all great campaign
ers with proven records. But Wil
lie Hartack, the nation's wlnning
est rider, could do no better than
fifth, 13 lengths back, on Gister

Traffic Judge; Rae Johnstone, one
of the world's leading foreign rid
