FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE IPav av -Awaiting Heekend Gridiron Action; Army, Navy Dn lesding filix ' Br ED WU.K8 i The Associate Press Tomorrow Is IfsS-day for Navy, Mississippi, Oeorgte Tech, Auburn and. Vanderbllt at Sugar and CoU ton bowl officials take a last look at the five gridiron contenders be fore making selections to fill their 1WO (COIBIUIIII IIKIKUVB UU. berths. Navy, geared for Its traditional Interservice run-in with Army at Philadelphia, Is the pivotal club. Word has It the Middles are fa vored for the Cotton Bowl opposite Texas Christian. Favored, that Is, If the Middles can dispose of Army again. If Navy accepts the Cotton Bowl invitation expected to follow a Middle vic tory, it would leave the four South eastern Conference schools battling to win the Sugar Bowl spot against Fitt. If Navy declines the bid. or loses to the Cadets, it Would leave the Cotton and Sugar bowl selectors switching their bids to the SEC quarter 01 Miss, Tech, Auburn 1 and Vandy. . SEC CHAMP -The SBC champ generally winds up in New Orleans at the Sugar Bowl, but there's no guarantee. And there's no guarantee as to who the SEC champ will be either. All four of the bowl hopefuls have chance. The Oalor Bowl, Sun Bowl and lesser postseason games also hinge on the outcome of tomorrow's games. Two bowls already have their pairings made in view of confer ence tleups. The Rose Bowl match es Michigan State of the Big Ten and UCLA of the Pacific Coast. The Orange Bowl pairs Oklahoma. of the Big Seven, and Maryland of the Atlantic Coast Conference, both unbeaten. All four powers are listed among the top six in the Asoclated Press poll, with Oklahoma No. I and In search of its 29th straight vic tory In a regular season wlndup against Oklahoma A&M tomorrow. The other three already have called It quits until Jan. 2. Mississippi, beaten by Navy 21-0 In the last Sugar Bowl after win ning the SEC crown, looks like a repeater, but Tech, Auburn and Vandy still have a chance. Ol Miss plays Mississippi State In the toughest assignment facing the four bowl hopefuls. Tech plays Georgia, Auburn meets winless Al abama and, Vandy faces Tennes see. TRADITIONAL Some of the traditional season ending games were played yester day, with Texas delivering a shocker by upsetting Texas A&M 21-6. That left Texas Christian a clear field for the Southwest Con ference crown and an unchallenged right to Mr the host spot in the Cotton Bowl. Texas AIM was shooting for Its first conference title In U years, knowing It couldn't get the bowl berth because of probationary ac tion for violating conference re cruiting codes. The conference gave TCU the Cotton bowl bid last week when it was clear the Frogs could be no worse than runner-up. t'jw TCU can win the title by beat lig Southern Methodist Sa.urday. In other Thanksgiving Day games, Cornell handed Penn Its 18th straight defeat 39-7; Wichita gained a share of the Missouri Val. ley title with Detroit by routing Tulsa 54-0; Wyoming mulled a share of the Skyline crown with Colgate A&M by losing to Denver 0-3 on the last play ol the game; Utah edged Utah State 14-13; Mi ami (Ohio) beat Cincinnati 14m for Its first unbeaten-untied season since 1921; William & Mary, upset Richmond In a 6-6 tie; and VPI I, whipped VMI 39-13.

State SridDo rJlentioned For Top Utec 55 75 Dons Again Expected To Rule Cage Nation (Editors Note: Following Is a pre-season surrey of the basketball outlook In the West for the 1956 Sf season.) . By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Last year the San Francisco Dons were the surprise of college basketball when they captured 28 of 29 games to win the NCAA crown and emerge as the No. 1 team In the nation. This year It will be a surprise If they don't repeat. It goes without saying the Dons should walk off with the honors in the California Basketball Assn. which was increased to eight teams with the addition of Loyola of Los Angeles, Pepperdine and Fresno. The other members are St. Mary's, Santa Clara, College of Pacific and San Jose State. Only Loyola, with possibly Its strongest team In school history, figures to provide much of a threat. In the better known Pacific Coast Conference, which has Junked Its North-South division after 32 years UCLA Is favored to win with Ore gon, Washington and Idaho provid ing the main opposition. -FAVORITE Utah, last year's Skyline cham pion, is a heavy favorite to re peat, but may encounter trouble with Wyoming and Brlgham Young. Idaho State should rack up its fourth straight Rocky Mountain title. In the Southwest, everyone has his own choice for the title. The end of this merry scramble should find Southern Methodist on top again although the winner could be Baylor, Rice, Arkansas or even Texas Christian. It tll be that kind of a race. . San Francisco has lost Jerry Mullen but still has the fabulous Bill Russell, the All-America 6-10 center as well as K. C. Jones and Hall Perry. Added to these are a fine sophomore group Including Mike Farmer, Gene Brown and Jim Mastln. Santa Clara, hard hit by the loss ol Kenny Sears, will rely on new comers headed by 6-T Rich Mont gomery. San Jose state gets four lettermen back: St. Mary s is Strengthened by the return from service of Bill Bsgley and S-7 Pete Kramm. Pepperdine lost a num ber of key men and will be rely ing on sophomores as will College of the pacitic, wnicn coasts one of the best In 8-4 Johnny Thomas. UCLA coach Johnny Wooden lost two fine players In John Moore O People Read SPOT ADS -yon are. and Don Bragg, but he has a talented group returning, headed by Morris Taft and 6-5 Willie Naulls. Oregon hss lost only one player Jim Loscutoff from its lR-man squad. ' STRONGER It has a good player In (-7 Max Anderson. Washington expects to be stronger because of Oary Nel son, a 7-foot center. Doyle Perkins and Karl Voegtlln form the neu cleus. Another sophomore surprise may be 6-8 Bruno Boln. Idaho lost four of Us six "Iron men." Washington State lost Its top man, Ron Bennick, and lacks height. Southern California will be starting practically anew with on ly Tony Psaltls back from the vanity. Stanford lost two key men and lscks height. California has experience, tut no height. The Bears are supposed to have a sen sational soph In Earl Robinson. Oregon State was hard hit when 7-3 Wade Halbrook dropped out because of scholastic difficulties. Among the coast independents, Seattle again looms as a power. The team has been strengthened by the return of 8-7 Thorn Hum phries who, together with 8-8 Dick Strlcklln, should form, one of the best twosomes on the coast. INOLEWOOD, Calif. Scott Frost won the 879,000 American trotting classic In the fast time of 1:59 4-6 for the mile. 4? Out Of 2Wu With The Sportsman Weekend Hunting Outlook By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Gunners have a few moderately good areas of the state In which to hunt waterfowl this weekend but no really fine shooting Is In pros pect, the Oregon State Oame Com mission reported Thursday. The report said that for the few who go after Jacksnlpe in the northwest district there should be rather good luck at the season's opening Sunday. It said, too, that in the restricted areas open for deer hunting the northwest district holds good promise If weather Is favorable. It gave this report on waterfowl, by districts: Northwest v Fair to good in the southern Willamette Valley. Southwest Fair to good In Coos County: poor in the Rogue Valley. Central Poor for ducks in northern Wasco and Sherman counties un less weather should turn stormy but goose hunting should be good here. Decoys in wheat field promise best results with bluff hunting poor unless there ar storms. Bend area has been only lair. Southeast Warner Valley hunting pressure has been 1 ik In. About 4,800 geese and no ducks are reported In the area. Summer Lake management reports about S.100 ducks and 350 geese, shooting has been good for ducks and poor for geese. Most of the ice is gone. Days have been clear and nights freezing. A few new ducka are arriving. Malheur County prospects are poor al though a few geese are on the river. SAN TRANCISCO (UP) Five players from the fine UCLA team that rolled through lta Pacific Coast Conference season without a defeat today were named on the 1956 United Press AU West-Coast football squad. ' The men are backs Bob Daven port and Sam Brown; guard Har diman Cureton; end Rommle Loudd and center Steve Palmer. The other six places were divi ded, with two to Southern Califor nia; and one each to Stanford, Washington, Oregon State and Col lege of Pacific. BRUIN STRENGTH It was ' a good sample of the over-all strength of the Bruins a team that rates as one of the most powerful In the nation and lost only one game all year, to Maryland. On top of the first-team power, the Uclans also placed one man on the second team and one on the third, giving seven of their 11 starters all-coast mention. The biggest battle broke out over the center position, where Joe Long of Stanford and Palmer near ly came out even in the ballets cast by football coaches, scouts and United Press sports writers throughout the West. University of California and Washington S'rte scouts and coaches, after watching both men in action, swung the edge to Palmer. The only repeater from the 1954 team was Davenport ol the Bruins. The backfleld was very close to being unanimous. The non-UCLA men among the ball-packers were Jon Arnett of Southern California and BUI Tarr of Stanford. Tnrr had the closest battle against team-mate John Brodle. The sta tistics give a pretty good evalua tion of. the.backlteld quar'.et. Brown led the loop In rushing: Tarr was third, Arnett filth and Davenport 10th. Brown and Arnett ran 2-3 In the total-offense depart ment. BIGGEST LINE One of the toughest men to keep off the first team backfield was Art Lupplno, University of Arizona Junior who played on the second team. Luppino leads the nation in total offense and rushing. But he hasn't played nearly as tough a schedule as that faced by the men from USC, Stanford and UCLA. The line this year Is the biggest in history, averaging 213 pounds to the man. The non-UCLA men are A. D. Williams of College of Pa cific, the only non-Pacific Coait conference man to crash the first team; tackle John Wltte of Oregon State; guard Orlando Ferrante of USC; and tackle Fred Robinson of Washington. The second string backfleld Is made up of Brodle, Lupplno, Cre dell Green of Washington and Dick Jamea of Oregon, By OSCAR FRALET ' Vnlled Preia Sporla Writer NEW YORK (UPI Michigan State has labeled Us gridiron pro fessor, Hugh (Dully) Daugherty, as the "comeback coach of the year" and It is the first time In memory that a school has under sold Itself. Not that Daugherty didn't lead the Spartans to a magnificent grid iron comeback this season. Just a year ago they wound it up with a record of three wins against six losses and this season they are heading for the Rose Bowl with an elgtit-and-one mark. They can knock off that "come back" part. Daugherty. as far as this corner Is concerned, must be the coach of the year In collegiate grid circles. . . Sure, there were coaches with better or Just as good records. Jim Tatum at Maryland and Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma turned out unbeaten teams: Red Sanders at UCLA was beaten only once and Bear Bryant at Texas A&M pulled a lot ot rabbits out of the hat. HAD HORSES However, it must be (admitted that Tatum, Wilkinson and Sand ers all "had the horses." Bryant orougnt uie Texas Aggies out ol nowhere to surprise the Southwest Conference but a weaker sched ule legislates against the Aggies. Aiiey piayea a 101 01 lougn learns yet they weren't of the caliber of the Michigan State foe. Daugher ty's demons lost to Michigan in their lone setback. But they hand ed Notre Dame Its only defeat and flogged auch as Stanford. Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Purdue, Min nesota and Marquette. - Daugherty was on the spot. A Syracuse graduate, he served one year there as Biggie Munn's assist ant and then, when Munn moved to Michigan State, he went along and put in eight more years as an unheralded aide. When Biggie, one of the real great coaches, became athletic di rector after leading Michigan State to a 28-20 Rose Bowl win over UCLA two years ago. Duffy moved up to the head coaching spot. He inherited a loser, one depleted by graduation. SAD BEGINNING Duffy, who hails from Barnes boro. Pa., took all the blame for that three wins and six losses sea son a year ago. It was a ssd be ginning lor a freshman coach but Daugherty showed a lot of Moxle. Nobody, however, ever ques tioned him in that department. During World War n he went in as a private and saw action in three South Pacific campaigns. When he came marching home. Dully was a major. Now, with a vindicating season behind him. ha Is on another spot. In the nine years of the Big Marshfield, Gresham Meet For Prep Honor PORTLAND I Marshfield, Un defeated in 22 games but forced to share the state title last year, goes after Its first undisputed state football championship Friday night. The opponent 1b Gresham, un beaten In 11 games this season, but considered the underdog because of Marshfleld's Impressive record and experience. Marshfield was rated No. 1 In the final Associated Press poll of the season, Gresham No. 2. The teams will clash at 8 p. m. in Multnomah Stadium on turf probably to be wet and slippery. That will be no novelty to the rivals. Both have proved to be able wet-field teams. , - Marshfield. despite mud on sev eral occasions, has run up at least three touchdowns In every gam this season. In fact, only twice were opponents able to hold Marsh field to three touchdowns. - Gresham has been able to run up more than two touohdowns In .only three games this season, but Coach Brad Ecklund's team has managed to win them all. The Oresham record Is 164 points to opponents' 53 in 11 games. Marsh field has compiled 315 to oppon ents' 47 in 10 games. This will be the third appearance in the state final for Coach Pete 8uslck's Marshfield team. Marsh, field lost to Grant of Portland, 12-7, In 1950, and tied South Salem, 13- 13, last year. 10-Pacltlc Coast Conference Rosa Bowl pact, the Big 10 hag won eight, of the "closed" Rosa Bowl games. In that time, the Big 10 has scored 233 points compared with 88 lor uie peg. . This season, In lnter-conference play, the PCC won four games and lost three. Naturally lta hopes are nign tor a uula win Jan. a over the Spartans, UCLA haa another goading point. Laat year when it was undefeated it couldn't go back because it had played In the bowl the year before. Duffy has a Job slopping them. But. win, lose -or draw, he still hss to be everybody's coach of the year. ' So smooth h leaves you breathless .a Pi Smirnoff VOBKA' M proof Mast from 1 00 train antral loin Sta.
