Tomorrow Is IfsS-day for Navy,

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

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.

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.

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

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.
