HERALD AND rftWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Reichow Stars . . . DemosTriumph ... SUNDAY, JANUARY 1, 1956 East If Mis By CHRIS EDMONDS SAN FRANCISCO -I Iowa's Jerry Reichow engineered Ohio Slate's bulldozing offense perfect ly Saturday, guiding the East to a 29-6 victory over the West in the 31st annual Shrine all star foot ball game. A standing room crowd of over 60.000 Jammed Kezar Stadium un der leaden skies for the charity clash matching -college stars from both ends of the nation. What they saw until . the roof fell in as the clock ran out was typical of the way East Coach Woody Hayes ripped the Big Ten apart for two straight Big Ten grid championships for Ohio State. Reichow, a 196-pound quarter back from Decorah, Iowa, scored the East's first two touchdowns as he played all except the closing minutes at the split T signal-calling spot. An expert at the option Sooners, Terps In Top Game By TIM MOR1ARTY United Press Sports Writer An estimated 335.000 persons will turn out at four scattered sites throughout the nation Monday to watch college football's greatest one-day show the New Year's Day bowl games. Millions of other fans given an extra day this year to recover from their holiday celebrating will either watch or hear the games via radio and television. In the oldest of these "spectacu lars," Michigan State ruled a one- touchdown favorite to defeat UCLA before 100.809 fans In the 42nd Rose Bowl game at Pasadena, Calif. Oklahoma was a seven - point choice over Maryland for Uieir Orange Bowl clash before 76.062 at Miami, Fla.; Georgia Tech was a one-touchdown pick to defeat Pittsburgh before 82,895 fans in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, and Texas Christian was expected to defeat Missmssippl by at least seven points before 75,504 specta tors in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas. The Sugar Bowl game will be carried by ABC radio-TV, while CBS radio-TV will air the Orange Bowl and NBC radio-TV will han dle Uie Cotton Bowl. All three games will start at 2 p.m.,EST. Following the Cotton Bowl con test. NBC will switch operations to the West Coast to pick up the Rose Bowl head-knocking for their radio and televisioin audiences. This game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. EST. The day's most Interesting game Is expected to explode in the Orange Bowl, where Maryland has been waiting two' years to avenge its upset by Oklahoma in the 1954 renewal. That season, Maryland was considered the nation's top team but fell before Bud. Wilkin son's Sooners, 7-0. ' REVENGE GAMES During the regular 1955 season. Oklahoma emerged as the national champion while Maryland wound up in the No. 3 spot. So now the Terrapins get a chance to knock off the pretender to the crown. UCLA also will be hunting re' venge in Its Rose Bowl meeting with Michigan State. The Uclans bowed to Michigan State at Fasa dena two years ago but feel "this is the year" when they'll catch up with their Big Ten rival. Michigan State's multiple . of fense, directed by "coach of the year" Duffy Daughterty, features the explosive running oi Eari Mor rill, Clarence Peaks, Walt Kowal csyk and Gerry Planutis. UCLA's single wing offense is centered around such fine backs as Sam Brown, Bob Davenport, Jim Deck er and the celebrated Ronnie Knox. The Cotton Bowl should present the day's highest-scoring game. TCU, paced by all-America Jim Swink, averaged 29.1 points per game during the 1955 campaign. Ole Miss, with elusive Eagle Day directing its attack, wound up its regular season with a 25.1 point average. ENGINEERS RECORD This game will find two old TCU teammates directing their teams from opposite sides of the field. The Horned Frogs are coached by Abe Martin, while Johnny Vaught, his old sidekick during his under graduate days, directs Ole. Miss. Georgia Tech will carry an im pressive post-season record into the Sugar Bowl. The Engineers have gone unbeaten in six bowl games under coach Bobby Dodd, but could run Into trouble against Pitt, the East's leading team In 1955. Jayvees Top Chiloquin '5' Joe Tawneys 42 foot howitzer with two seconds left in the game saved the Klamath Union jayvees from defeat Friday nierht as they scored a 4947 overtime victory over Chiloquin. ' With the Panthers leading 45-43 Tawney stepped across the center atrip of Pelican Court and cut loose with a desperation shot that bounced off the backboard straight through the hoop as the buzzer sounded. In the overtime penod, Dave Robinson and Ron Ci oxford 'cored from the field to give the jayvees the win. Chiloquin s Dick Siemens led the scoring with 24 points, while team mate Gary Heclund added 16.

Until Reichow departed with less than three minutes to play, there was nothing spectacular about the East's triumph. It was the four-yard, six-yard, three-yard pattern that Hayes' Buckeyes used last fall. Then Em Llndbeck. of Illinois, came in. He set up one touchdown with a pass Interception and scored another on a short sprint just be fore the gun banged. The East scored the first time it had the ball, rumbling 71 yards in 18 playes with Reichow going over from inside the one. In the second quarter the bruis ing attack resumed, this time booming 54 yards in 15 plays. Again, Reichow burst through the middle for the final six inches. Don Schaefer, Notre Dame full back kicked both extra points. Reichow, named the game's most valuable player by sports writers covering the game, was replaced by Lindbeck and the II lini back promptly set up one touchdown' and scored another himself. The assist came when he picked off a pass by USC's Jim Contratto after a Juggle by fellow Trojan Leon Clarke, and sped down the sidelines 34 yards to the West 6. It took Michigan's Tony Branoff only one play to circle wide around right end for the touchdown. Bran off's conversion try was blocked. Less than a minute showed on the clock when Llndbeck cashed his own touchdown. He scored on a 9-yard sprint wide to the left. This time Branoff ran for the extra point. Contratto also bad a hand In the East's scoring. The Trojan quar terback was trapped in the end zone by Schaefer and a host of East helpers as the fourth quarter opened for a two-point safety. The West's lone touchdown came at the start of the second period. Contratto, who went most of the way at quarter for Coach Jess Hill's charges, sparked an 11-play, 49-yard push. The tally was scored by Preston Carpenter of Arkansas on a 5-yard shot outside tackle. Carpenter's try for the point was wide. That made It 7-6 and It was the only time the West was in the ball game. Stanford's center, Joe Long of the West, was voted the outstand ing lineman. East 7 7 0 1529 West 0 6 0 06 East scoring: touchdowns Reichow, Iowa, 2 (one plunge: one, plunge; Branoff.

SIDELINES TOMORROW, EIGHT OF THE BEST college football teams will be sent through their paces in the four major bowl games, and in each contest Uie prestige at stake is great. From the Rose Bowl here on the Pacific slopes of the nation to the Orange Bowl in sunny Miami, Florida, football fans are guaran teed fine football. And the picture is about as even-steven as it has ever been with the caliber of competition mat win oe naming on the four gridiron fronts of the day. Probably the game of the day will take place at Miami where two undefeated and untied grid powers of the nation tangle in a fight for the unofficial national crown. Oklahoma's all-powerful Sooners will lock horns with the defensive deacons of Maryland, and before the day is over, only one of the two will still reign undefeated. Coach Bud Wilkinson's Sooners have already wrapped up the national cham , pionship according to polls taken iefev . I DAVE D'OLIVO , , UO froih hoopster Important battles are also awaiting Texas Christian University, Mississippi, Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh in Cotton and Sugar Bowl frays. Pregame favorites seem to be tabbed as TCU and Georgia Tech, but the pigskin, although not alive, is always capable of taking that screwy bounce, and just at the wrong times. If you don't think so just ask Norm Van Brocklln and the Los Angeles Rams. The galloping puiple ghost of TCU, Jim Swink, Is the number one reason why the Horned Frogs are picked in the Cotton battle, while Georgia Tech's speed and power up the middle is regarded the best bet in the Sugar Bowl outing. With Pitt still Irked over a politi cal move by a Georgia governor In asking Georgia Tech to withdraw because Pitt had a Negro on its roster, the Panthers from the North are not to be given a quick count. Our picks are with the favorites Michigan State, Oklahoma, TCU and Georgia Tech but keep your money, we also picked the Rams last week. WE STAND CORRECTED. Thanks to Deb Addison for the information that Klamath County has had one other AU-American other than John Witte, the 1955 INS first-team tackle from Oregon State College. We checked this past week with Dr. George Wright, the leading sports informative oY Klamath Falls high school athletics, and found that one other for sure gained All-American recognition on the gridiron In the earlier days of the sport. Dr. Wright passed on the news that Richard Shore Smith, whose rather owned the Altamont Ranch, did gain the honor at Columbia in 1903. Smith graduated from Klamath High School (even before the times of the Klamath County High School and Klamath Union High School) in 1896, the year before Dr. Wright graduated. But another former All-American, Ted Beckett, can not be claimed by Klamath Falls. Beckett attended Riverside grade school for a short time, but did not graduate from the local school, or attend a Klamath high school. Instead Beckett was a student at Oroville, Cali fornia, where he later enrolled and won football fame at California, Although Witte is not the only AU-American as we did state, he is the only A-A that has been a product of local football teams. When Smith attended Klamath Falls High, there weren't enough atudents to play football. ... The University of Oregon now ship, which has been held for the Oregon's football quarterback and from JVIarshfleld. One interesting scholarship carried by Crabtree is by the school's athletic department, footballer has had in his three years at the Eugene school. To keep the award, Crabtree must maintain a grade point average somewhere above the 3.0 level. Four-point is BRIEFS FROM HERE AND THERE . . .

Orr Leads Vanderbilt In Surprise Triumph JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (M Don Orr, a Prince Charming of a quar terback, ran and passed Vander bllt's Cinderella Commodores to a 25-13 upset over Auburn's big Plainsmen Saturday in the 11th annual Gator Bowl. For a lad who dislocated his right elbow In the final game of the regular football eason and had been a question mark for this name, the Miami Junior was slight ly terrific. He passed seven yards to end Joe Stephenson for Van derbilt's first touchdown and scored Uie next two on short plunges. Vandy's line, outweighed 15 pounds per man, did a tremend ous Job against Auburn's behe moths. Tackle Tommy Woodroff led the inspired forwall, recover ing fumbles that led to two Vandy ; scores. Auburn, which compiled an 8-1-1 record and finished eighth na Uonally In The Associated Press poll, went into its third successive by two major wire services, but Uie head man of the Oklahoma coaching staff has been playing the field very cautious because of Maryland's iron wall defense. Oklahoma may be favored by most all sports writers, but not by, Wil kinson. Of course can you ever recall when the Sooners' boss pre dicted a clear-cut win for his club in a game of this sort. Ranked right behind the Orange Bowl tussle must come the big game featuring UCLA and Mlchi gan State m the bowl of roses at Pasadena. With two of the greatest football coaches in the business directing the Uclans and Spartans, anything is bound to break loose. Here. Michigan State is drawing most of the ballots as winner, but as all Pacific Coast sports fans know, don't sell the Bruins from Los Angeles short. And yet. who can say Duffy Dauglierty's gang from East Lansing will roll over and play dead. has a Richard Shore Smith scholar pant three years by Tom Crab tree, former all-state high school star sidelight to the mutter is that the a scholastic award not distributed and It Is the only aid the U of O perfect. win over Franklin last Wednesday part the Quakers' BJarne Jensen, to pass through Portland prep the new Medford Junior high is a plant for 7-8-9 graders . . . also we noticed that the plans to draw Into Uie city have been dropped the opportunity to exchange words and Guy Munsell, a Southern to be making the basketball .

This was the first post-season appearance for Vandy, which won Uie "Cinderella" tag in the South eastern Conference for Its 7-3 rec ord after being picked to finish 11th in the 12-team league. Orr and sophomore fullback Phil King were the big guns of the Vandy attack. All-SEC half back Charle Horion. who scored Vandy's fourth touchdown on a one-yard plunge, was used rather sparingly on offence.

Coach John Neeley's Jefferson High Democrats of Portland dis played a well-balanced, smooth working and all-powerful attack here Friday night as -ihey com pletely ran rouchshod over the Klamath Union High School Peli cans 80-51 in a non-league battle. Pelican Court patrons witnessed a Jefferson ballclub that played a sterling defensive game as well as tearing the nets to ribbons with some very fine shooting. The Jef ferson triumph evened the two game series at one a piece after the Whitebtrds stopped the Demos 69-64 Thursday night. Portland sports writers Bob Swan and Paul Cour are botn labeling the Democrats as the top Portland Intcrscholastlc League powerhouse for the coming season, and Neeley's quintet demonstrated why Friday night. With a little more than three minutes leit in the first quarter. Jefferson took their first lead of the game, then preceded to turn the non-counting frav into a rout. With the Pelicans holding a 7-6 Pro Boss Says Dons Best Team NEW YORK I The unbeaten and unchallenged San Francisco Dons, champions of the ECAC Holiday Festival tournament and holders of an unhalted string of 36 consecutive victories, were called today "the best college basketball team I have ever ! seen." by Joe Lapchick. veteran ; coach of the New York profession- al Knickerbockers. Lapchick. connected with the game either as a player or coach for some 35 years, was an inter ested spectator at Madison Square Garden Friday night as the dashing Dons flattened a tough UCLA five 70-53 with ridiculous ease for their third straight one-sided triumph. The former star center of the fabled original Celtics, generally recognized as the greatest basket ball ' team ever put together, un hesitatingly called coach Fhll Woolpcrt's San Francisco quintet as better than the powerful Ken tucky teams of the Lou Groza Ralph Beard era, or the Oklahoma A&M teams of Bob . Kurkland's days. As coach of St. John's, Lapchick mnsterminded against those great clubs, as well as Utah's whiz kids of some 10 years ago, and the splendid St. Louis teams with Easy Ed Mflcaulcy. He also was around when Long Island Univer sity ron up the record 39 straight In 1935-37 and saw the St. John's wonder teams of the late '20's. I "I've got to call San Francisco the best I ve ever seen," Lapchick said Friday night. "Kentucky and some of those other teams may have been better offensively, but none of them could compare with Uie Dons on defense. "That's because no team ever had a player like Bill Russell. That guy beats you on defense Just as much as on offense. He disrupts your entire style or play. This team gives you Just one shot at the basket and that's all. You never get it again not until they score, anyway."
