they have met this season when
the Owls and OJC Rangers tangle
on the Bremerton battle field. In
the line for the experienced Ran
gers the average per man is 214
pounds. Center Bucky Bridges is
the smallest man at 195 pounds.
Other weights range from 205 to
240. For added weight, coach
pick Ottele can use reserve cen
ter Paul Johnson, a 240-pounder in
place of Bridges. The only other
line that Tech has faced with this
amount of weight was Compton's
Tartars, the nation's number one
junior college.
VICTORY COLUMN
The win-loss record for the Ran
gers is not outstanding, but Ot
tele reports his footballers are
coming along as the season heads
into the record books. Olympic has
won three and lost five, but the
last three games have gone into
the victory column for the Brem
erton eleven.
Yakima. Ft. Lawton Navv and
Centralia have gone down before
tne Rangers, while Lower Colum-
bia, Everett, Greys Harbor, We
natchee and Boise have whipped
OJC this year. All of the losses
except the Boise defeat have been
by one .touchdown or less. The
Boise-Olympic score favored the
Idaho JC 21-12.
According to coach Ottele at
Olympic, his club has opened the
last three games with a torrid
passing attack that has been re
sponsible for the team's success
in the win column. Led by the
pitching of quarterback Hoot Fay
ette, a 180-pound sophomore let-
terman, the Rangers have rolled
up yardage in large hunks lately.
In the last two games, Fayette
has completed 19 of 27 tosses.
Hunsaker, who is flndine the
practice problem tougher than the
team's record, said he plans to
stick with the same lineup that
he has been using throughout the
last few games in hopes of pulling
a victory out ot tne bag. "This
is no easy one," the Tech coach
reports, "but if our bnv.i ninv
ball In comparison with their spir
its, then our chances of winning
are good. It takes lots of guts to
limy lor a losing club, and these
kids this year are sticking with
it despite the miserable season."
PREP SCENE
On the prep scene, Malin and
Union are expected to dip deep
into their bag of tricks this week
end In an all-out effort to move
into, the finals of the B high school
school football playoffs. A win for
the visiting Bobcats would make
it three straight years in the
championship game. Malin holds
an 8-0-1 win-loss-tied record so
far, while Union has won six nnri
lost two, but these two were to
A-i scnoois. La Grande whipped
Union 20-7 and Weiser ( Idaho i
stopped the Bobcats 31-14. Klam
ath Union High's Pelicans dumped
tne La Grande Tigers here earlier
in tne year 33-7.
Coach Comlsky Is- In his tenth
season at Union, and In this live
he has coached six state playoff
teams. In 1949 the Eastern Oregon
school whipped Malin in the semi-
finals, and in 1947. Union lost to
Henley, then a B-school. This will
be the rubber match between
Union and Klamath County schools.
Last week Union's coach brought
out gloves lor center Larry Bu
ford and quarterback Mickey Rick-
er as the 'Cats walked over Echo
39-13 in a cold quarterfinal game.
Malin worked its way into the
semis by dumping Moro 32-7 in a
game played here.
Malin will have a Jump on the
invading union eleven In the
weight department, but Comis-
ky's gridders are reportedly very
fast and have been beating most
or tneir opponents to the punch,
despite the lack of poundage. Un
ion's largest lineman on the start
ing offensive unit is Dick Cantrell.
a no-pound senior guard. On de
fense, Phillip Degraw, a 200 pound
tackle leads the weight parade for
the Bobcats. In the backfield, Gene
McKinney, who scored five of Un
ion's six touchdowns against Echo,
is the largest back on the Bobcat
squad at 180 pounds.
Coach Jim Conroy reported ear
ly this week that his club came
through last weekend s quarterfin
al game without an Injury, and
Malin is expected to go into the
semifinal clash with Union at top
strength, snow plows and all.

Tiff Seen In
Big Ten Game
By JOE MOOSIIIL
CHICAGO UH Michigan and
Ohio Slate will meet fop the Big
Ten football championship Satur
day but it might well turn out to
be a battle between Ohio State's
Howard Cassady and Michigan
ends Ron Kramer and Tom
Maentz.
While Coach Bennie Oosterbaan
lauded his two great ends to Chi
cago football writers via telephone
yesterday. Coach Woody Hayes of
Ohio State was equal In his praise
of Cassady. He called him the
"greatest football player I've ever
seen."
Oosterbaan said he has never
seen two greater ends than Kram
er and Maentz on one team.
The Wolverines need Saturday's
game to clinch the Big Ten title
and a trip to the Rose Bowl. A loss
or a tie would give Ohio State the
title and allow Michigan State to
represent the Big Ten In the New
Year's game at Pasadena.
Hayes praised his team for its
great comeback after losing to
both Stanford and Duke and still
being able to move towards a title
game against Michigan.
"We were being compared to the
great 1954 Ohio State team,"
Hayes said, "but our boys worked
hard and managed to improve. The
tuniing point was the Wisconsin
game (Ohio State 26. Wisconsin 161
where we were considered a team
that could go on its own.
"We've' been accenting our
strength and minimizing our weak
ness." said Hayes when asked why
his team didn't pass more often.
But, he added, "wait until Satur
day to see If we can prove It."
Hayes said All America backs
can hurt a football team because
of publicity, but he refused to
place Cassady In that category,
"He's the greatest. He takes pub
licity in stride and gives you the
best he has," said Hayes.

NW Little A-A List
By JACK IIKWINS
Associated Press Sports Writer
Small-college football stars who
squeezed into the Little All Amer
ica and Northwest all-star scenery
last year are shooting for first
team berths this season but with
plenty of competition from some
unimpressed newcomers.
Perhaps the outstanding feature
of the small-college oicture is the
large number of freshmen and
sophomores who have earned the
praises of The Associated Press
Regional Little All America Board
Hottest of the rookies are a paif
of halfbacks. Whitworth's Warren
Lashua and Lewis and Clark's
Mel Glllett. Even bigger is the
crop of stellar sophomores.
Rated up with the best by the
board members are Tommy Gil
mer, Pacific Lutheran quarter
back: Ends Doug Zitek of Oregon
College and Vic Backlund of Wil
lamette; guards Howard Morris of
Linfield and Eddie Phillips of Lew
is and Clark, and halfback George
Sullivan of Whitman.
One of the outstanding new ar
rivals, however, Is Bill West of
Eastern Oregon College. Bill Is no
rookie, having put in a couple of
seasons at Oregon State before
entering the service and then
switching to EOCE. The 210-pound-cr
has been a battering ram on of
fense, a terrific blocker and a de
fensive hope-wrecker. -
The two Northwcsterners who
were Little All Americans last
year end R. C. Owens of College
of Idaho and tackle Larry Paradls
of Whitworth are out of action.
Whitworth's Bill Vanderstoep, who
earned third-team ranking a year
ago, Is rated a first-team candi
date for 1955 at center,
Oene Flippen of Lewis and Clark
and Bob Bradner of Whitworth,

nationally at halfback and end, are
very much in the battle for top
rating this year. So is Jimmy

a difference of opinion In the West
as to whether UCLA's Bob Daven
port or Stanford's Bill Tarr is the
better fullback.
Davenport, in pre-season specu
lation, was expected to be a shoo
in for All America honors in suc
cession to Wisconsin's great Alan
(The Horse) Ameche. Tarr, al
though recognized as an outstand
ing fullback, wasn't given much
of a tumble.
. But Tarr now is credited with
being the man who powers Stan
ford's pace-setting total offense in
the Pacific Coast Conference,
while' tailback Sam Brown has
taken over as big gun on the UCLA
team which has bowled over eight
of nine -opponents and earned No.
5 rating in The Associated Press
poll.
In fairness to Davenport, it
should be pointed out that he has
been handicapped by an injury.
He hurt his knee as the Bruins
clobbered California three weeks
ago and sat out the rout of Col
lege of the Pacific a week later
Last Saturday, with UCLA trailing
Washington, he was called upon
late in the game and. with Brown,
sparked a drive which led to a
19-17 win.
Tarr, who topped conference
runners last fall, currently is sec
ond behind Brown. He has gained
596 yards in 153 carries for a 3.2
average. Davenport has carried
68 times for 311 yards for a 4.6
average,
Tarr's "bread and butter" yard
age has improved Stanford's pass
ing game to the extent that it tops
the conference with 1,362 yards,
nearly 400 yards more than the
second place team. In total offense
the Indians lead with a 3.092 yard
figure.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jim Swink of Texas Christian,
latest of the many storied back
field aces to emerge in the South
west Conferr-nce, today was named
the Associated Press Back of the
Week.
If the 6-1, 130-pound Junior half
back from Rusk, Tex., had any
detractors he did a great Job of
sending them sprawling lust week
end in his nne-man show against
Texas. The Horned Frogs, closing
In on the Cotton Bowl, didn't need
any more than Swink to bring the
ambitious Longhorns back to
earth.
It was a 47-20 ball game and
Swink went across for four touch
downs. Only one was common
place, coming on a 1-yard plunge.
The others were true Texas spec
taculars with Swink swinging
along on runs of 62. 57 and 34
yards. In 15 plays, he piled up 235
yards the top one-game total of
the season for majnr college play.
Among other things, he also boot
ed two conversions, giving him a
total of 26 points for the game as
TCU handed Texas its worst con
ference whipping of all time.
TCU Coach Abe Martin, who's
hod to come up with new adlec-
lives for Swink each week, dldn t
have any doubts that it was the
"greatest exhibition of boll carry
ing I ever saw."

SAN FRANCISCO (UP) At
least four directors of the Pacific
Coast League were hopeful today
they could persuade Chicago at
torney Leslie O'Connor to take
over as president of the Pacific
Coast League.
O'Connor, if he could be per
suaded, would succeed Clair V.
Goodwin, who has submitted an
"open end" resignation as Dresl-
dent of the eight-team loop.
uoodwin submitted his resigna
tion, which he said is "good to
day, tomorrow or anytime," to
Fred David, president of the Sac
ramento Solons and a PCL direc
tor. David said the resignation
was the result of a talk to
Goodwin. .
'I was appointed a committee
of one to talk to Goodwin to see
how he felt about our failure to
re-elect him at our annual meet
ing in Vancouver, B. C. David
said. "This Is the upshot of It."
David said the directors gen
erally provide for the president
at the annual meeting. Goodwin's
term was due to expire Dec. 31.
He had no contract.
"There was no action taken,"
David said. "He read between the
lines and decided he would not
like to stay In there unless he
had the unanimous approval of all
the directors' , ,
What apparently provoked the
wrath of the PCL directors was
Goodwin's failure to come up with
the right answer on the disposal
of the San Francisco Seals fran
chise. This was once the , most
valuable piece of property In mi
nor league baseball.
The franchise Is now in the
hands of the PCL directors, wtth

Talk Contract
BROOKLYN UP! A scowl on his
face and a chip on his shoulder,
big Don Newcombe arrived in
town today to talk contract with
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
I m - asking' for 130,000 and
that's exactly what I'll settle for,"
snapped Newcombe, apparently
still bitter over the IV,'2 per cent
cut he was forced to take last year.
Brooklyn Vice President Buzzy
Bavasi - was the Smlucky official
assigned the task of talking to
Newcombe, a fellow who was
armed with some Imposing statis
tics.
He compiled a 20-5 record last
year, hit .359, hit seven home runs
to break the National League rec
ord for pitchers and went 21-for-8
as a pinch hitter for a .381 mark.
"I expect a tight and I'm not
backing down one bit," he con
tinued. "I'll sit it out Into ' the
spring If I have to. When you have
a lousy season; they give you the
ultimatums. I had 'a good season
Now '-I'm giving them ultima
turns." ," , . 1
- Last Season, Newcombe got
$17,500, a $2,500 comedown from
the figure he collected in 1953,
"Bavasi practically threw me
out of his office last year," said
Newcombe. "He told me then that
if I didn't take the I2"i per cent
cut, he'd keep sending me con
tracts calling for $1,000 less each
ttmn until T ont tha full 9S nnr
cent they're allowed to give you." I

Hank Greenberg of the Cleveland
Indians and Joseph Cairnes of the
Milwaukee Braves decided against
buying It.
The pro-O'Connor directors said
he "has the proper major league
connections and knows baseball
from the bottom up."
O'Connor was formerly secre
tory to the late Kenesaw Mountain
Landis. high commissioner of
baseball.
"But O'Connor ; has been of
fered the job before : and has
turned it down," , an Informant
said. "However, he has told us
in the past that In case of an
emergency he would come to our
aid. I believe this is an emer
gency. If he would come here for
a year I believe he could
straighten things out." .
O'Connor has indicated from his
home at Crystal Lake, 111., that
he would not come out to the coast
on a permanent basis. He is now
semi-retired. He was in Vancou- -ver
for the recent PCL sessions
and it was there that some of the
directors concluded they must
have him. .
The final decision on the selec-
Uon of a president is likely to
be made at Columbus, Ohio, pos
sibly on Nov. 27. The minor lea
gues open their annual session on
Nov. 28 and the PCL will want
to attend that session with Its
house in order. ,
