Colonists Scrimmage Centennial Hi Today; Squad Not Ready for Redlands
by HAL THOMAS
The Colonists Varsity enters the final week of practice with very little satisfaction and not much more well being.
As if it were not enough to be unready "footballically", the tentative starters are nursing a varied assortment of aches, ills and pains that would make Mr. Sloan rub his hands in flendish delight.
Van Hoorebeke and Company have been virtually beating their own brains, putting their charges through a routine course of callisthenics, in an effort to harden flabby muscles, but the soft spots won't toughen.
So many of the men have missed two to four days workouts because of various ailments, that Friday night shouldn't happen to a dog.
Redlands is big, fast, tough, and well-ready to go into their schedule. With 14 lettermen back, all of whom will see active duty for Coach Weaver, Coach Van has every reason to shudder at the prospects. He is virtually begging for a rainstorm to hit La Palma at kick-off time. (Of course it can't happen here), or can it.
The Terrible Terriers have already played two full-scale practice games; the intra-squad game, Whites vs Blues, which the Whites won 41 to 7, and the Friday night game with Mt. Carmel High School—Redlands 33-Mt. Carmel 0.
Van Hoorebeke, and his staff, scouted the Mt. Carmel game, resulting in one important observation—the Terriers are blocking and tackling like a ton of brick, and with a two-game practice advantage over the Colonies, a victory for the locals next Friday night the dam, Van Hoorebeke and staff are trying to determine which starts will be "out there", come whistle-time, Friday night, when the Redlands Terriers come to town.
Meeting With Parents
Tonight at 8 o'clock, Coach Van Hoorebeke, and his assistants, will meet with players parents in the Little Theater.
"It is important that mothers and dads acquaint themselves with the coaching staff. The coaches are particularly anxious to have personal contact with parents," said Van Hoorebeke, "and they must feel that they are 'part' of the team—a very important part."
"We wish to show them the game equipment, and explain the matter of training schedules, first and/or care of injuries. If both parents can't be present, then we hope to meet at least one," the coach concluded.
The tackle positions will probably find Bob Lambeth and Art Contreras going both ways with help from Frank Doretti, unless Frank is needed at the defensive center spot.
Coach Wallin had high hopes for at least two other tackles out of five potentially good candidates, but as yet no decision is possible.
Kent Swenson will undoubtedly be called upon for defensive help at tackle; lack of speed will hinder his offensive chances. He has missed practice for two days with a bad tooth and the layoff could work to Kent's disadvantage for this Friday.
If the "Trooper" is unastart, Tom Berg will be called on to step in, otherwise T going into the linebacker where he can contribute to the defenses.
Ron Miller was also expected assist the guards, but the po has a lame back and might sit this one out.
Roy Heitman is slated for left guard post this week. A good man for the job all he continues to respond to co as he has thus far.
Bill Van Klaveran doesn't take to offensive dutie looks fairly good at middle and should get in playing time the defensive platoon.
Tomorrow we will look ends and center positions." scrimmage at AUHS with C nial High, should uncover latent talent if there should yet undiscovered.

Jerold Hawkins was expected to press the offensive starters for one of the tackle positions. He's quick, but too easy going, and so far Wallin hasn't been able to build a fire under him. Hawkins could be a BIG help to Lambeth and Conterras.
Dick Hathcock, another hopeful at tackle is probably the most improved man on the squad, has determination but lacks speed sufficient for offensive duties.
Jerry Jennings could see action at tackle against the Terriers if he could only master the plays. Jerry seems to hanker for defensive action.
Darryl Quinn, a JV letterman, likes it rugged but he must come fast this week if he is to get into the Redlands game.

Murray urged the University Oklahoma regents to consider regarding NCAA television, the accrediting associate fused to permit state wide casting of the Sooner-Irish He made clear his stand ter to the regents.
"There is no plausible he said, "to support the NCAA which is permitt one station to carry this. He asked the regents to possible to obtain an exceed the one station rule and, that, "consider the advisa disregarding the rule."
There's No Substitute for Circulation.
This mechanical nose, used on overhead cable, spots insulation weakness before moisture can reach sensitive circuits.
NEW "AERIAL WATCHDOG" GUARDS YOUR CALLS
"The Sniffer," whose sensitive nose puts a beagle's to shame, now patrols your voice highways.
If moisture reaches a telephone circuit, calls traveling over it may be interrupted. That's why cables are carefully sheathed in tough insulation. Even so, telephone linesmen have had to contend with normal corrosion, abrasion and animals with an appetite for sheathing—all of which damaged cable and permitted moisture to seep through. A recent development—keeping cable filled with nitrogen gas, at pressures high enough to keep out water even when cable is damaged—has helped fight moisture. Now "The Sniffer," our latest development, provides a new weapon in our war against moisture—and in our continuing effort to make your telephone service ever more reliable.
How "The Sniffer" works for better telephone service at lower costs
Tests have shown that "The Sniffer" can spot potential insulation weaknesses in overhead cable at about one-third the cost of previous methods. This is another of the many ways we're constantly working to provide an ever improving service at the lowest possible cost.
YOUR TELEPHONE IS ONE OF TODAY'S BEST BARGAINS
"The Sniffer" is drawn along overhead into which Freon 12, a non-toxic gas, has pumped. In the instrument, a fan creates in-draft, sucking the air from around the into a chamber where an element, extra sensitive to Freon, tests the draft. The slid odor of gas—indicating a weak spot sheathing—causes a bell to ring, and the spot is marked. Cable repair crews follow behind "The Sniffer," repairing the sheath where marked. By making such repairs we make sure that fast, uninterrupted will continue to be yours tomorrow.

COP Two-Platooned Stanford; Myers Held to Theory of Rotating Units
By HAL WOOD
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The single platoon system in football is in, but before anyone gives all the credit to it for the wave of upsets Saturday, consider the case of College of Pacific.
Coach Jack (Moose) Myers, 28, in his first year as a head coach, used the double platoon system (legally) against Stanford in scoring that stunning 25-20 upset—and he credits that with the differ ence in the two clubs.
“There is no doubt in my mind that the platoons kept us a lot fresher than Stanford,” said Myers.
Stanford Men Weary
“I made up my mind before the start of the season that we would keep putting new units in the game... and I’m convinced that it paid off.
“Whenever we put in a new group of players, they seemed to go strong right off the bat. It appeared noticeable in the second half that we were able to move because some of the Stanford players were tiring.”
Stanford has an enrollment of 800 students, COP has only 1600. But it is apparent that Myers, former UCLA and Philadelphia Eagles football star, has done a good job of finding a lot of fine talent for his squad. COP used 2 platoons in the game compared may live up to advance ratings. When Coach Len Casanova puts out a running team to defeat Nebraska, he may have quite a club. Casanova’s clubs usually travel a lot by air. This one tried only six passes all afternoon, completing two.
California Favored
California will be favored to bounce back to whip Oregon State, the team that was trounced by UCLA, 41-0, in the opener. A scoreless tie might seem in prospect in this one—platoons or no platoons—because Cal wasn’t able to count, either, against Baylor, losing 0-25.
In other tilts, UCLA meets Kansas, Southern California tangles with Minnesota and Washington battles Michigan in major intersectionals. Idaho takes on Utah and San Jose State meets Brigham Young.

Oklahoma Governor Demands TV Coverage of Notre Dame Game
OKLAHOMA CITY (UP) — Gov. Johnston Murray was on record today favoring statewide telecasting of the Notre Dame-Oklahoma football game in Norman, Okla., Saturday and indicated that if the National Collegiate Athletic Association didn't like it, then it would lump it.
Murray urged the University of Oklahoma regents to consider disregarding NCAA television rules if the accrediting association refused to permit state-wide telecasting of the Sooner-Irish game. He made clear his stand in a letter to the regents.
"There is no plausible reason," he said, "to support the stand of the NCAA which is permitting only one station to carry this game."
He asked the regents to do all possible to obtain an exception to the one station rule and, falling that, "consider the advisability of disregarding the rule."

WSC Looks Strong
Just how good this system is may get another test on Saturday when the Tigers play host to Washington State of the Pacific Coast conference. The Cougars were beaten by powerful Southern California, 29-13, but they pounded away at the Trojan goal line most of the day and apparently have a very fine club.

Ranger Shot with Own Gun by Irate Hunter
BAKERSFIELD (UP) — Kern County officials searched today for a disgruntled hunter who shot and wounded a U.S. Forest Ranger after the ranger refused to sell a deer he had killed.
Arlen Barber, fire lookout on Bald Mountain, reported he was shot in the arm when he turned down the man's $25 offer for the deer.
Barber said, he killed the buck a few hours earlier near Kernville in the Sierras east of here.
He said the hunter asked to see his 22 caliber pistol and when Barber handed over the weapon the hunter shot him in the arm and fled.
The hunter was described as "heavy set" and about 30 years of age.

Tough Foes This Week
By ALEX KAHN
LOS ANGELES (UP)—A rockibbed Kansas line and a brilliant
minnesota backfield put frowns on
the faces of coaches Henry (Red)
Sanders of UCLA and Jess Hill
of Southern Cal., today as they
prepared for weekend games.
Sanders told Southern California
football writers yesterday that his
scouts warned him to expect one
of the top lines in the nation when
the Jayhawkers step into Memorial
Coliseum Friday night.
And Kansas advanceman Don
Pierce did not deny the report,
adding that the line was made up
of veterans at every spot except
center. Pierce also said that Kan-
added that the one platoon system
didn't hurt them because Giel
liked the chance of playing on defense.
"Minnesota will run us out of
the Coliseum Saturday if we play
the same sort of game we did
against Washington State," Hill
said, pointing out that his team's
margin resulted from a 91-yard
run by Aramis Dandoy and a 62yard run by Lindon Crow.
Crow was almost definitely out
of the Minnesota game, Hill said,
because of a leg injury while Dandoy was limping on a bruised leg and his replacement, Jim Decker,
had a charley horse.

Henry (Red) Sanders today made his UCLA Bruins buckle down to hard passing practice, declaring he would keep them at it all week.
Sanders yesterday personally checked each pass and receiver and decided that such things as Paul Cameron throwing the ball away on three tries had to go. The squad had only moderate success in working against Kansas' sliding T formation.

Sanders told Southern California football writers yesterday that his scouts warned him to expect one of the top lines in the nation when the Jayhawkers step into Memorial Coliseum Friday night.
And Kansas advanceman Don Pierce did not deny the report, adding that the line was made up of veterans at every spot except center. Pierce also said that Kansas should have and could have won its game with Texas Christian last weekend but didn't.
"Kansas is going to chew us up if we don't improve our line from tackle to tackle," Sanders said. "Our scouts say we won't see a better line this year."
Hill's chief worry was stopping Minnesota's great halfback Paul Giel, and probably Bob McNamara, if the other Gopher star is able to play. Hill was not cheered by the remarks of Minnesota advanceman Otis Dypwick that the Golden Gophers were fielding their best backfield since the war. Dypwick
