Trojans Rated l ops on Gridiron
By BOB MEERS
Associated Press Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — Southern
California’s defending National
Collegiate Champion Trojans are
rated tops in most pre-season spec
ulation, but coach John McKay
does not subscribe.
In his own Big Six conference,
in fact, the young boss at Troy
insists Washington is the team to
beat in the run for the Rose Bowl.
And he repeats this even with the
recent loss through an ankle in
jury of the Huskies’ outstanding
fullback, Junior Coffey.
"We have to play Washington at
Seattle, and so does Stanford,"
says McKay, referring to the fact
that Washington, even in lean
years, is always tough at home.
“And,” McKay added, “I don’t
believe their schedule is as tough
as ours.”
Southern Cal leads off against
Colorado at Boulder, followed by
Oklahoma and Michigan State
here, Notre Dame at South Bend
and Ohio State here.
“We will be out-physicalled in
four of our first five games, said
McKay, coining a strange new
word for this listener and explain
ing it meant the opposition will be
bigger and stronger.
Southern Cal lost some fine let
termen from its unbeaten Rose
Bowl champions. Among them was
Ben Wilson, who apparently was
good enough to go on and make
JAPANESE PREFER 'NIPPON'
TOKYO Iff* — Japan won’t be
called Japan at the 1964 Olympics.
It will be called Nippon.
That is what the Japan Olympic
Committee has decided after a
government survey showed most
people favor the name over Japan
or Nihon.
Japan originates from the name
given to this country by the first
Portuguese traders that came here
in the 16th Century.
Nihon and Nippon are alternate
pronunciations of the indigenous
name for this country.
the Los Angeles Rams as a rookie
this season.
But the Trojans still have some
of their finest stars back — All
America linebacker Damon Borne,
quarterback Pete Beathard, tow
ering end Hal Bedsole, halfback
Willie Brown and such good in
terior linemen as Gary Kirner, Mac
Byrd and Bill Fisk.
Behind Beathard is Craig Fer
tig, a star in the Notre Dame vic
tory, and a sophomore halfback
who figures to make first string,
Mike Garrett.
McKay says he will again field
three teams as a unit — the red,
gold and green — but he admits
he isn’t exactly sure how he’ll do
it under the new and rather puzz
ling substitution rule.
As for filling Wilson’s fullback
position, he has Ernie Pye, 203,
a junior: Rich McMahon, 192, a
senior, and Ernie Jones, 197, an
other senior.
Perfect seasonal records are
rare in major college football. Un
til some team proves better, how
ever, the Trojans merit top rating.

That late season baseball mala
dy — Pennant fever - -is gripping
St Louis, where a showdown for
the National League championship
begins tonight.
All of St. Louis is buzzing about
its amazing Cardinals, who have
won ten straight games of their
last 20, and closed a seven-game
Dodger lead on August 30th to one
game. It has taken most of the sea
son for the Cardinals to convince
their followers that they are true
threats to win their first National
League pennant since 1946. But
now the fans are believers.
National Football League Com
missioner Pete Rozelle has sus
pended Don Burroughs of the Phil
adelphia Eagles for one game with
out pay. The action was taken
against Burroughs for grabbing
and striking officials after yester
day’s game with the Pittsburgh
Steelers. Burroughs grabbed or
shoved head linesman Dan Tehan,
and a second official, Referee Bill
Downes, was struck in the face,
apparently inadvertently, in the
confusion.
Lawson Little, the former Na
tional Amateur and National Open
Golf Champion, still is in critical
condition in a hospital at Palo
Alto, California. Little underwent
brain surgery Saturday.
The Spokane Indians could
wrap up the Pacific Coast League
championship in Oaklahoma City
tonight. The Indians are ahead in
the play-off series, three to two
over Oklahoma City. The two
teams meet in the sixth game to
night.

Potatoes he planted a year ago

JUNEAU (Special) — The di

City of Juneau for “its generosity,
its vision, and its old-fashioned

being the first donor in any cate
