1959 'Bloodletting' Could Haunt 'Skins CAT TACKLE BILL ISMAY Leads defensive line By CARL PORTER Remember hearing the old saw about "letting sleeping dogs lie?" Well football folks hereabouts seem to figure the Redskins of Utah will feel it as well when they go on the warpath against Arizona at Varsity Stadium tonight. It all started last fall when Arizona's football program was lolling in its dog days. Eighteen times in 25 games the Red and Blue had been sent whimpering off in defeat. Then along came Utah to kick the Wildcats around, 54-6. By the time the young Wildcats had finished licking their hurts, they were fighting mad and wide awake.

Texas Tech found out as much in a stunning 30-26 upset, at the newfound claws of Arizona. Classy Air Force learned, as well, when the Cats came within a yard of another itartling upset (1522). Texas Western fell before the angry Arizonans, 14-10, and powerful Arizona State narrowly managed to fight-them off, 159. Now with added back- field speed and depth, a starting unit of veteran campaigners and that intangible giant called Spirit, Arizona football faithful fee! certain the Wildcats are ready to make the Utes pay for tempting the sleeping dog tradition. Despite cold facts, which prompt most national odds services to pick the Redskins by one to two touchdowns.

Old Pueblo sentiment is running rampant. Even the cold-blooded crew of the press box appears to have caught the fever with 6 of the city's 11 full- fledged sports scribes tabbing Arizona the winner. Reporters who have drawn the detail of standing by Wildcat workouts still have their reserva- tions, however, and would have liked to see something more concrete than the wispy Spirit image this fall. Coach Jim LaRue, nevertheless, seems unperturbed with the fact his first team has failed to move the ball consistently against its own even its own fresh men in weekday workouts and a trio of game-condition scrimmages. "We did some good things in our scrimmages," rationalizes LaRue.

"Naturally, when you see the movies you see a lot of things wrong even after you win a big one." One big fact in UA's favor is the apparent "kid glove" treatment sharp- shooting quarterback Eddie Wilson and loose-legged PORTS SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. 24, I960 PAGE 9 right halfback Joe Hernandez have received in fall drills. One reason for the sporadic piny on the part of the varsity may have been the limited use of these ace offensive weapons, who will team with second-team All-Border Conference left half Warren Livingston to give the Cats a versatile attack out of LaRue's split- offense. Up front the Cats will have a seasoned starting crew, backed up by green but aggressive sophomores and some speedy junior college transfers. Against this, Utah Coach Ray Nagle will field a brand new backfield, but a hefty, hard-nosed line.

QUICK line play should make the difference tonieht. just ai it did last year Nagle, however, credits the Utah passing game with running up the 59 score so high Utah runs what Nagle calls a multiple which consists primarily of a quick-hitting, split-T type attack, although the Utes used a little single wing in a 33-6 opening victory over Hawaii JACK GILLESPIE Blocking back deluxe By George McLeod Citizen Sports Editor Bud Speaks Up There are no ifs, ands or buts in the vocabulary of Bud Jack, Utah athletic director. He wants to put Utah in the proposed Great West- trn Conference and he doesn't care who knows it. "We believe in this new conference," the youthful- looking, aggressive athletic director said. "We're for it.

All we hope is that the other seven ichools believe in it just as strongly," he said. Utah will be the host school Oct. 3-4 in Salt Lake City when the potential members start the third in their series of meetings which could culminate with a new major western states conference. "When we broke up our last meeting in San Francisco, it was agreed that we would go back to our schools, tell them of our plans, give them as many details as possible and seek their administrative support to organize formally at our next meeting. "I have meetings scheduled with our faculty committee, our president and our board of regents for next Wednesday.

I can't say conclusively what the results will be. I can say what I hope and believe will happen. And, that is, that they will port the new conference all the way." How Many Meetings? Are the Salt Lake City meetings a put-up-or-shut- up affair? "I hesitate to go that strongly," Jack said. "I'd say we're heading in that general area. After all, how many meetings can we hold? We held our first meetings in New York and we all agreed we had basis for further meetings.

Then in San Francisco we got down to details. Again we agreed we were on the right track." What about some of the problems which have come up since the San Francisco meetings? "I have heard of no problems which cannot be "Distance? The Skyline Conference has been stretched from Montana to New Mexico. Yet the problem in the Skyline wasn't and isn't distance. It's the plain fact that schools are not equal in enrollments or budgets. "Too far for minor sports? I hate the term minor sports let's say for competition other than football and basketball.

We could have divisional meets with the divisional champs meeting for the conference title. No I don't think distance is a problem." Utah State Will Not Attend Bud was asked about the possibility of Oregon and Oregon State pulling out. "I have read about the possibility. No one from either school has officially indicated the Oregon lost interest. Both schools reserved rooms for the Salt Lake City meetings.

I know this. After the San Francisco meetings, the Oregon schools were as enthusiastic as we are." Will Utah or Brigham Young force the issue of admitting their sister-school, Utah State, a school which many potential Great Western schools don't want? "This is a loaded and obviously touchy question with me," Bud said as he fidgeted for the first time. "All I can say is that eight schools have been present previous meetings. Eight schools have reserved rooms for the Salt Lake City meetings. Utah State is not one of the eight schools." If representatives of the seven other schools approach Salt Lake City Oct.

3 with the same positive thinking of Bad Jack, the Great Western Conference become a reality sooner than many people Champagne Stays On Ice As Bucs Lose 6 New' Cards Upset Rams LOS jubilant St. Louis Cardinals return home today to await a visit from the New York Giants. The Los Angeles Rams, meanwhile, remain tenants of the doghouse. St. Louis and Los Angeles kicked off the National Schooling Races Set For Dogs More than 500 greyhounds, representing 20 kennels, are now quartered at Greyhound Park in preparation for the fall meet opening Sept.

30. Schooling races will continue nightly through Tuesday, with more than 20 prep races presented each night. Starting time for the schooling races is 7:30 p.m. and the public is invited. The fall meet will present many newcomers from nine track's stretching from Massachusetts to Oregon.

A minimum of five past performances will appear on each dog on the opening night program. The Tucson Inaugural will feature some of the top greyhounds in the racing world, Racing Secretary Eddie Suddeth has announced. SOME of the top competition this Fall will come from the Hobby Hour Ranch Kennel of Daytona Beach, whose Happy Joe Lucky won 12 Top Grade 1 races this year. Football League season last night, and the rejuvenated ex- Chicago Cards booted the Rarns downhill, 43-21. Trailing 10-14 at the half, Coach Frank (Pop) Ivy's Cards roared back with four touchdowns, four conversions, a field goal and safety.

Reserve quarterback John Roach wts the passing hero when he replaced injured King Hill in the final two quarters. And as Ivy said later, end Sonny Randle was "phenomenal." ROACH touchdown THREW four strikes, three of Rain, Wind Follow ASU Into Texas hurry-up call for mud cleats was sent to Arizona State University equipment managers by Frank Kush and the Sun Devil coaching staff. When the Devil grid squad arrived in Texas they walked into a steady downpour of rain, wind and cold weather with the temperature below the 50 mark. The weatherman said the rain is expected to continue over the weekend. The rain and wet ball are expected to hamper both teams, as West Texas State relies on passing to set up its ground attack.

Kush plans no change in the starting lineup except that he is undecided on the starting center. The Arizona club worked out last night in the Buffalo Stadium and is favored to collect its second victory tonight. finished seventh in money winners at Wonderland Park in Boston, will offer Farm Facts, expected to be a class campaigner here, and Dr. Joe D.

Tom Lawrie, a Tucson favorite this past Spring, returns from a successful season at Pensacola, with them to Randle, completing them from 24 to 57 yards.

It was the first Card victory over the Rams since a 45-21 triumph in 1951. It's the third straight year Los Angeles has dropped its league opener.

"WE WERE a bunch of tigers," said Ivy, adding that he didn't think the Cards I would be able to contain the i flashy Ram runners. They did, holding he Rams to mere 50 yards on the ground. Coach Bob Waterfield took the loss calmly. He described the Cards as the best team he has seen this year, Randle as the best player on the field and the Cardinal strength as no surprise to him.

While his beloved Pirates race toward the National League pennant, Michael Godula, ex-Pittsburgh bat boy, sits in the county jail near here talking about his shattered dream. Michael, 30, wanted to buy the Pirates and had accumulated at least $118,000 toward the purchase price till tapping. Till tapping involves the unobtrusive scooping of money from store's cash drawer it in your pocket This is the story Godula told the FBI: Back in 1950, when Branch Rickey was putting together the team that later became the terror of the league, Michael shagged fly bails and tended hats for the Pirates.

A year later, he tried out for shortstop. Rickey, Godula claims, took a personal interest in him. But when the club he crimrMil record, it dropped him. That was when he began dreaming his redeem himself in the Pirates' eyes by buying 51 per cent of the club. "Whj do I steal?" he wrote this week in an open letter to his friends from his cell.

"I am a former bat boy with the Pittsburgh Pirates. As you know, they have won the National League pennant. This is my first love and even 10 years after their dismissing me, my emotions still with them. It has broken my heart that I have not contributed to their winning the pennant." According to his statements to police and FBI agents, he got together his stake with championship skill. Some of the money was taken from banks and the rest from stores.

He tells how he would stroll into a bank, dressed as an employe, walk around the tellers' cages as if he belonged there and stuff his pockets with vnonty while no one was looking. Then, he sauntered away. Police estimate he netted $500 a week. "Banks are lousy with dough," he said. The saga of Michael Godula (pronounced go-doo'- la) ended last week in the small town of Benicia.

He was caught stealing $300 from a clothing store. In suitcase he was carrying was $48,000 in cash and shares of mining stock. Yesterday, FBI found some $70,000 in securities in his rented room in Los Angeles. Michael calmly pleaded guilty to a charge of grand theft and will be sentenced Monday. Meanwhile, he eagerly tells his story.

Does anyone believe him? "Sure," said a jailer, Deputy Sheriff R. J. Stanton. "I have no reason not to. I've talked to lot of guys, but tMs one is a real character." Buhl Puts; Damper On Party By United Prm International The Pittsburgh Pirates say keep that champagne cold because they plan to pitch Bob Friend today, Harvey Haddix tomorrow and the bat-boy after that.

In short, the Pirates are convinced they'll clinch their first National League pennant, in 33 years before the week-; end is over. Actually, they can wrap ip up today if Friend beats Milwaukee Braves and the Chicago Cubs defeat the sec-' ond-place St. Louis Cardinals. A VICTORY by both the Pirates and Cards today guarantees Pittsburgh no worse than a tie. Should Friend win today and Haddix tomorrow, however, it'll be all over no matter what the Cardinals do.

Bob Buhl was the party- pooper last night when he held the Pirates to five hits in a 2-1 victory for the Braves that snapped Pittsburgh's six- game winning streak. The Cardinals didn't cooperate any either when they swept a doubleheader from the Cubs identical 5-1 scores, to climb without six games of first place. "Just a temporary delay," declared Pirate third baseman Don Hoak. "Nobody's going' to stop us-now." PITTSBURGH skipper Danny Murtaugh took the defeat philosophically, too. "We've got to lose one once- in a while," he said.

"We won six in a row, you know." But Cardinal Manager Solly Hemus insisted the Pirates would have to win the pennant "on their own merits" because "we're certainly not planning to give 'em any, i help." i THE BRAVES broke a 1-1 fie in the seventh inning when: i Del Crandall bounced a single; 1 over the head of shortstop; I Dick Schofield to score Chuck! Cottier from third base. The' loser was George Witt, who gave up eight hits in i innings. Elsewhere in the National: League, Philadelphia beat Cin- cinnati, 6-1.
