An early report had it that the fliers had been beaten by Santa Clara last weekend and thus had had a five-game undefeated skein snapped. The call revealed that the Jets had dumped the Santa Clarans 28-8 and so remain unde feated for the season. Boasting a starting assortment of players that is far and away the heaviest that the Owls have faced since the Hamilton AF eleven was here last year, the Jets are led by quarterback Gil Bettez, the ex-Boston College ace. The small est man on the squad at 175 pounds, Bettez scored one of the Jet TDs against the Broncos on a five-yard dash and completed a 15-yard pass to reserve end, Handy Gray. 185. for another. The other scores were obtained oft a four- yard romp by reserve back Ellis Harrison and a 15-yarder by half back Willie Steele. Both Harrison and Bettez arc reported adept passers but the Jet attack also counts heavily on the ground. In collecting their six wins over such teams as Moffett NAS, US Naval Air, Treasure Island, Ala meda NAS, San Quentin, and the Broncos, the McClellan eleven has amassed 158 points while allowing i the opposition only 32. The offensive forward wall of the Jets, a Mutt and Jeff situa tion, features three men 6-5 and over. Jim Thompson, a 250-pound right end, stands, 6-5, right next to him at the tackle slot is another (-5er, Chuck Moody.

He will play Friday night. Tackle Gary Hancock suffered a slight mislortune with a bag of concrete early in the week but is also figured to be okay by game time. Co-captain Larry Bunyard who was jostled roughly in the Med ford action is also reported ready as is halfback Blake Griggs who J. D. Smith Crowding Jim Brown PHILADELPHIA (AP)-For the lecond straight week Cleveland's Jimmy Brown leads the National Football League in rushing but J. D. Smith of San Francisco is Dressing him for the top spot, sta tistics released today showed Brown has picked up 437 yards on 101 carries for a four-game average of 4.3 compared to Smith's 410 yards in 78 tries for a 5.3 average. Ollie Matson of Los Angeles is third with 403 yards on 66 carries good for a 6.1 average. Quarterback Ralph Gugliclmi of Washington reads the passers for the second week in a row with 21 completions out of 45 attempts for 439 yards and a 9.76 average gain. New York's Chuck Conerly has moved into the No. 2 spot with 656 yards on 47 completions out of 79 tries for an 8.30 average. Standings are based on average gain per pass attempted. . Woodley Lewis of the Chicago Cardinals continues to enjoy a big bulge as the best pass receiver. His 21 catches have netted him 397 yards and two touchdowns. Second is Frank Gifford of New York with 20 catches and 301 yards. Claassen UO Victory By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK AP Why did they increase the width between the goal posts in college football? Well, the reason is that certain wide-beamed forecasts should be1 booted out of the end zone because they were unable to pre dict that Ohio State would handle Purdue and that Pittsburgh would be. handled by West Virginia last weekend.. i Sailing between the posts with the greatest of squeeze, here are this week's winners, with the un derstanding that the forecasts are no better than a week end ago when the average was .708 on 34 winners in 48 decisions: Louisiana State over Florida: The Bayou Bengals rarely do: more than they have to, but the formula seems to work. So the pick is Billy Cannon & Co. again. Northwestern over Notre Dame: One of these days this Notre Dame team will jell and make everyone look silly includ ing the foe on the field. But not this weekend. Texas over Rice: This is pure suicide. But one must stay with that Texas speed in the line and Rene Ramirez. Mississippi over Arkansas: Our Memphis operator says these two teams are as good as any in the country, but that Bobby Franklin makes the Rebels the choice. Southern California over Stan ford: The Trojan blockers hit like a wooden horse. Syracuse over West Virginia: The . Mountaineers' . season ended with that victory over Pittsburgh. Auburn over Miami: With rela tive ease. Oregon over Washington: Be cause the Webfoots handled the Air Force with such ease. Purdue over Iowa: But it will be close. On the other side of the line Is left end Bob Davis. 6-3, 220 pounds and tackle Ray Gonzales, 5-8, 210. At the guard slots, each at 190. are J. A. Eirp, 5-10, and Leon Garding, a 5-9 All-Stater from University of Montana. Teaming with Bettez and Steele in the offensive backfield are full back Sid Brown, a 220-pounder and speedster halfback Eli Ireland, 185. One note, included in the bro chure, states "many of the Jet players have been offered good football jobs to commence upon their separation from the service." After taking Monday off after their bruising game with the al most too-determined SOC Red Raiders last weekend, the Tech men returned to the practice field Tuesday night. The first session was a speedy hard, short drill that was spent primarily on passing" and pass-re-cpiving drills. Missing from the session was conference high - scorer Allen Leach who was taken ill Tuesday morning. Returning, however, was half back Al "Tiger" Everson who has completely recuperated from a rib injury suffered two weeks ago. Fullback Stan Glass, the focal point for the Red Raider de fenseman last week, is suffering from numerous tender spots but is expected to be in shape for the McClellan hassle. In the SOC game both Glass and quarterback Roy Johnson played defensive positions for the first time in the current season. The Pelican Booster Club meeting scheduled for the Chuck Wagon Restaurant at 6:30 this evening will feature a highly interesting report by Pelican coach Bob Williams. Mis com mentary will accompany the showing of the Mcdford-Klam-ath Union game movies. Also planned is a pre-Spring-Held game report by assistant coach Hank Smith, who ob served the Millers in action against Eugene last weekend.

Linemen Awarded Acclaim By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It's a rarity when sports writ ers at a football game peg their stories on a lineman. To achieve such a distinction the usually un sung boy up front has to do some thing extraordinary. Bill Burrell, Illinois guard, hit the headlines in spectacular fash ion -last Saturday against Minne sota. His sterling play against the Gophers brought him added rec ognition today as lineman of the week in the Associated Press poll Burrell made 16 tackles, recov ered a fumble and stole a pass in a 14-6 triumph over Minnesota The 207-pound Negro captain el the Illini from Clifton, 111., recov ered a Minnesota fumble at mid- field in the second quarter to start his team's first scoring drive, The 1960 Masters golf tourna ment is set for April 7-10 at the August National course. 6-Cylinder Includes Pluoi and Points Only . . . TIM'S COMMERCIAL SHELL SERYICE Phono 4-3683 Blattner, Diz Dean At Odds PHOENIX UPl "I never pushed anybody around except them hitters." That's what Dizzy Dean said today about Buddy Blattner's claim Dean pulled strings that caused a rift between the two television "Game of The Day" announcers. Blattner quit the show Tuesday with the comment, "Diz can be charming but he likes to push people around. I had made up my mind he'd do it to me only once." Blattner, Dean's partner for sev en years, was making plans tor a show of his own. He said Dean got their sponsor to keep him co-broadcasting the Milwaukee Los Angeles playoff game in Mil waukee with George Kell. I don't understand why Buddy went to the papers with his com plaints," the former National League pitching star said at his home here. I believe I'd have called Bud dy if I had something to say to him...There's a lot of people that'd like to be pushed around for $75,000 a year for 48 ball games. Dean denied he prevented mat tner from doing the playoff game. "I wanted to get back to Phoe nix myself," he said. "It was dove season and time was wast ing. The agency we work for had me stand by but when details couldn't be worked out I came home. I didn't .even see Buddy after we said goodbye in Chicago." The Millers, who were edged 7-0 in the final minute of play against the rated South EUgcne Axemen last Friday, average 177 across the starting offensive loreward wall, and 170 in the backfield. The Pels hold the edge in the pound- ! up front but are considerably lighter in the backfield.
