1t 1 0 STANDING OVATION Iowa's Rose Bowl football players receive a loud welcome as they enter a banquet honoring them at the Biltmore Bowl. The i party, at which comedian Bob Hope entertained, was held Sunday night and sponsored by the Big Ten Club and southern California's Iowa alumni. Oregon's Francis Hasn't Been Home in 2V2 Years By Staff Writer PASADENA, CAL. A year ago today, wben most Oregon State students were in the warmth ot the holidays at home, Joe Francis remained in Corvallis and worked around 4 lad who plays the other, tackle, was standing in on the conversation. He allowed as how the Beavers thought.

Iowa's 14-13 victory had been a fluke-then talked of Hawkey Alex Karras. "I played against in the first game," he pointed out. "Aside from Witty, he's the toughest I've ever ucsn up against. Real tough on defense." In the course of the conversation we mentioned that Hawkeye Kenny Ploon hadn't done a thing (because of injury) in the first game, but had done plenty since. "Well, he win't run wild ap.v'nst us," iaid Jesmer.

SVii'e promptly sjreed. Talking to Oregon State players, ii sems that end Frank Gilliam is the Hawkeye who left the most lasting impression. "You can't hardly get around him," insisted Lowe, who will be tryii to do just that today. It appears that the Beavers are ready for the big game. It has tickled fsm members no end that two underdogs, the West in the Shrine game and the New York Giants in the pro play-off, have won in the last few days.

"This is a Rose Bowl I think we'll be ready to agrees Prothro. "ThereV one thing neither team can lay it was looking forward to next week." East and West all-sta'rftSquads are scheduled to be oh hand Friday, afryag with respective East and West coaches, Jim Lee Howell of the New York Giants and Paddy Driscoll of the Chicago Bears. The East-West series is tied at three victories each. Because of such passing artists as Bobby Layne, Ed Brown and Tobin Rote, and such receivers as Harlon Hill and Bill Howton, the West has been made an early favorite. However, the East is adjudged a stronger team defensively.

He was named outstanding player in Tech's 21-14 victory over Pittsburgh in the Gator Bowl last Saturday. Crawford, who led the na tion in ground gaining with 104 yards as tailback in Wy oming's single-wing offense, was moved to fullback on the North squad.

"Evashevskl changes his offense every year, and since tomorrow is another year I don't know what ti expect from Iowa," Prothro added. Evashevski, master of equivocation when he wants to be although he always is truthful, did not give a serious reply to a single query that was tossed his way. GOV. LEO HOEGH of Iowa, carrying a ham under his arm to the micophone, publicly challenged Gov. Elmo Smith of Oregon 'c- a bet with him on the outcome of the game.

Both are Republicans and both were defeated in the recent elections. The Hawkeye chief ex- ecutive was more optimistic than some followers of the Old Gold eleven. He gave 9 points. Gov. Hoegh said he felt a 15-pound ham equals a 45-pound salmon, which Gov.

Smith agreed to put up for his end of the bet. In reply, the Oregon governor said he could not bring the salmon or any part thereof to the luncheon since he did not know where he could get the hind leg of a fish, "I'll just let the Oregon State team hand the fish to the Hawkeyes tomorrow," he explained. CAPT. EDDIE RICKEN-BACKER, flying ace of World War I and a hero of the second World War, will be the grand marshal of today's Rose Bowl parade. Rickenbacker started his 'auto racing career in Iowa.

He had a garage in Des Moines and in the racing season competed on dirt tracks in Iowa and nearby states. Later he picked up aviation. Sports writers gathered here to cover the game were asked to predict the score. Most of them named Iowa with an advantage ranging from one point to 34. MILT BRUHN, Wisconsin coach, also picked Iowa.

He said he and his players were greatly impressed by the Hawkeyes in their early-season game, especially by Iowa's strong defense. ONE ROSE BOWL official pointed out that The Register and Tribune is setting a record for coverage of the annual event It has more writers and photographers here than any newspaper anywhere has ever sent to give its readers details of the contest, preparations for it and festivities and events pertaining to it.

He is John Vitte's relief and Witte had to go 60 minutes in the first game. Iowa grew In stature as the campaign raged.

Through November Iowa was a fiery outfit, especially on defense. Its favorite's role was gained because of its strong play in the stretch, whereas Oregon State faltered somewhat in the final games. Iowa, however, has not played a football game in more than five weeks. The Hawks have had only 12 days of practice in the last 37 days. Whether Hawkeye efficiency has been dulled by the long stretch of inactivity is- something that will be decided today.

Oregon State, of course, has faced somewhat similar conditions. Tojgner Schedule superiority might be reflected in the fact that it played an admittedly tougher schedule, with several of the nation's p-ranked teams listed among the opposition. The Hawks seem to have modest edge in weight in the line, but they can't match the Beavers in break-neck speed. And there is no reason to believe that Iowa's desire or physical condition is superior that of Oregon State. i Tremendous Fight So, just as in their toss-up meeting in October, this one could result in a tremendous fight for supremacy.

It could go either way, since it's entirely possible that Oregon State's backfield speed will dominate or that Iowa's grinding and flashy backfield maneuvering will decide it. Coaches of both teams have been disturbed at times by iJje distractions that affected concentration on the but inj recent days there has been no indication that the rival players were not aware of the job at htjL Iowa could emerge as the most glamorous team in Hawkeye history. The Hawks have a tremendous opportunity. They also have a heavy responsibly. Bi Ten Conference represent! -ves have played in the Rose Bo- I 10 times during the present series.

All but one of them brought home a victory. Iowa, in its experience with Pacific Coast Conference teams, his done well in recent years although the Hawks started br.dly. They lost the first three games with Coast Conference rivals and failed to score a touchdown in any of them. 4 of Last 5 The count now stands 6-4 favor of Coast teams over Iowa, but the Hawks have w.hi four of the last. five.

It worthy of note, however, that no Pacific Coast Conference team that ever faced Iowa failed to score at least two touchdowns. Oregon State has had its troubles, too, In meetings with Big Ten schools. The Beavers have won only two of 10 starts with one tie.

Home to him is Honolulu, Hawaii, a far-away place that the junior tailback hasn't been able to revisit since he came here to attend school 2'2 years ago. "I was feeling pretty neglected," he recalls. "Pretty sorry for myself last year.

That one, and the one before, were the loneliest holiday seasons I've ever spant." But, no matter how today's Rose Bowl contest comes'out, Joe already tabs this as the happiest New Year's day of his 20 years. One reason Is the realized dream coming true of being in the game. Another is that the mother of this French-Spanish-Hawaiian 'lad, widow of a former Honolulu policeman, has come to tha mainland for the first look eyer of Joe playing football.

K. Not as flashy as wingback Earnel Durdel or No. 2 tailback Paul Lowe, Francis is considered the bread-and-butter back for the Beavers. He can hurt Iowa passing, running or punting. Oregon State football teams have always stayed at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica for regular-season games hpre, and they did it again in preparation for the Rose Bowl.

Old-time observers say this is furthest any Rose Bowl team has stayed away from Pasadena. There's some question about how far Santa Monica is from the game site as the crow flies, but it's one hour for a scarred veteran way warfare and two a novice. "One of our coaches said we better make the trip from the hotel to the bowl by helicopter," said Prothro Monday. "But we'll just use our own buses." Beaver players will" eat about 8:30 in the morning and then start the long trek about 10:30 o'clock. It is probable that a police escort will clear a traffic path.

Monday there were various group meetings for players and coaches during the day and a squad meeting at night. In spare moments. Beavers could talk to 1. fathers; 2. mothers; 3.

wives. Not being able to qualify on any of these counts, and anticipating we wouldn't, we took the liberty of talking to of the boys before the curfew went into effect. Fundamentals "We're a better team now than at the end of the season," flatly stated all-America tackle John Witte. "We had slipped because we weren't putting in enough time on fundamentals. "But the first half of our Rose Bowl practices were just like it) the spring all fundamentals.
