And for the first time the usually powerful teams of the Universities of Southern California and California at Berkeley failed to land a man on the first squad. The 11-man first team includes two players each from the new PCC Rose Bowl team, Oregon; the defending champions, Oregon State; Washing- ton; Washington State, andLration over 8uch linemen as Basketball season will officially arrive on the Santa Cruz scene Friday night when the Cardinals play host to Bellarmine of San Jose at the civic auditorium. Lightweight reserves, junior varsity and lightweight contests will precede the varsity encounter.

The featured game promises to be a battle between two The Cards will Held a very Barbee and Leeka over Oregon State's tackles, Dave Jesmer and Ted Bates; guard Jerry Kramer and center W7ayne Walker of Idaho in their respective positions, and the margin was indeed close at Here there were three top notchers Jones, a superb all-around man on offense or Stanford's Chuck Shea and Jack Morris of Oregon. Overall, opposing players' reactions and the win-loss records of the schools, along with Idaho's non-representative record, were and had to be taken into consideration. In anv event, the first team's 1- iv of the Pacific Northwest teams placed two men, along jtvith UCLA. Stanford won the re Panthers Get Edge In Battle Over Traditional Keg Trophy UCLA. Stanford placed one to round out the mythical All-Star aggregation.

The team was selected by the three regional AP sports editors, Jack Hewins at Seattle, Jack Stevenson at San Francisco and Bob Myers at Los Angeles. The team: Ends Dick Wallen, UCLA, and Don Ellingsen, Washington State. Tackles Troy Barbee, Stanford, and Bill Leeka, UCLA. Guards Harry Mondale, Oregon and Whitey Core, Washington. Center Buzz Randall.

Ore eon State. Quarterback Boh i wm a Washington State. Halfbacks Jim Shanley, Oregon, and Joe Francis, Oregon State. Fullback Jim Jones, Washington. Idaho, like California and Southern Cal, did not qualify a player for the first team, but this was simply because Idaho, by PCC policy, plays only three conference games, none of them in the southern section.

There wasn't much argument over most of the selection. The panel, in collaboration with member paner football writers, scouts and the like, pretty well agreed on such choices as Newman, Shanley and Francis in the backfield and on the two fine ends, Ellingsen and Wallen. There was considerable delib- New SLV Dads Club Organized, Officers Elected A new San Lorenzo Valley Dad's club was organized last night, as approximately 65 valley male residents met in the Felton high school gymnasium. A proposed constitution and by laws were read and accepted after minor corrections were made. Officers elected for one-year terms include John Vendetti, president; Andrew Cardenas, president elect; Ted Rolff, treasurer and Mario Esnosito, The president-elect serves as a vice president during the present term, but at the next election date he moves up to become president with a new president-elect being chosen.

Dues for membership were set at $3. Purpose of the organization Ls to promote all school activities, not just athletics, although it may appear more emphasis is-placed on amietics. The club is onen to dads throughout the San Lorenzo Valley Unified School district. Three members of the Santa Cruz Dad's club were present and they outlined activities in their organization. Present were President Ed Banek, Jack Knight and Ken McWrilliams.

Vendetti, who presided over the meeting, announced Harry Wor-ley has donated a technical magazine library to the school which he will keep up and maintain. Ben Prieth has donated firewood for the students to sell and raise funds, but this is to be supervised by the Dad's club. Earl TriDD has announced he will wire a conces sion stand and will donate and maintain a technical library. Walter Beers outlined the his-tory and organization of the California highway patrol in the feature talk of the evening. He said the CHP was organized in 1929 and became statewide in 1932.

J85 res 1 By Mel Bowen Two Monterey county junior college football teams, Monterey Peninsula college and Hartnell, are set for their traditional battle tomorrow noon at MPC stadium. Picking a favorite this year would be somewhat of a chore, for both schools have had somewhat of a mediocre season. Hartnell might get the edge on the basis of recent games having upset San Jose JCf green teams with high hopes. young squad, with only one returning player who did not let-r ter, Bellarmine is in a similar sit uation. They will field a team with two returning lettermen, one returning player'and a new coach.

Tony Peloci is in his first year at the coaching helm for the Bells, who had a 15-8 season against high school competition in 1936-57. Emmett Thompson is rebuilding the Cardinal squad from the second plao? five of a year ago. In 1056-57, Santa Cruz had an overall seasons record of 17-9. Santa Cruz high school's team is built around James Smith, a forward-center, who more than likely will fill the pivot post. Smith has an excellent eye and last year led the team at the free throw line with 75 percent of his attempts converted, lie has good coordination.

A junior, Smith stands 6-3. He has played one year for the Card-lets and one year as a varsity forward. Smith looms as a top rebounder. Dave Kiff is the returning non-letterman, but he has a knee injury suffered in practice, lie will be out at least two more weeks. With Kiff out.

Smith will probably have to go alt the way at center. Up from the junior varsity, John Kirby, at 6-1, looms another probable starter. Kirby has a good eye, can play anywhere and is a ball hawk. A junior, Kirby is expected to be one of the more consistant players on the team. Thompson declares speed is one of the Cardinals main assets this year.

"We are going to run," he said yesterday. With Tom Walker out with a recent operation, Ken Negro and Kiff injured, the roster is down to ten mien for the opening game. Dick Scotter and Angelo Ross currently hold -the edge at the 'guard positions, where four players have been battling out, showing a lot of hustle. Right behind the probable starters, are Ken Caldwell and Charles Wise. Scotter has a good shot from outside and drives well.

He is a good defensive hustler while Ross moves up to the varsity from the lightweight team of a year ago. Both probable starting guards stand 5-9. Ross Is a hard driver, aggressive and he has a good jump shot. Gil Labrucherie, 5-11 junior, looms as the first alternate at forward. At Bellarmine.

returning lettermen are Barry Christina and Mike Ryan, are two fairly tall boys. Ryan, at 6-4, is the probable starting center while Christina 6-2, will probably be at one forward position. John Brig-nani, 6-0, is the other likely forward. Bell guards will probably be Clary Pedone and Joe Koeplin. Both stand about 5-11.

Speaking in regards to the out look or the Bells, Peloci yesterday said, "We are very green. There is no room, except for improvement." By Mel Bowen BLOCK SL INITIATES Twenty-five San Lorenzo Valley high school lettermen will be initiated into the Block SL society tonight at the Boulder Creek fire-house, Wrayne Richards, Cougar coach, announced last night. The lettermen are block winners from the 1956-57 school year. Stan Mullen is president of the organization, Randy Ward vice president and Cal Potter secretary-treas- urer.

Optimist Banquet Plans Progressing Plans are progressing on the eighth annual Optimist Gridiron Banquet planned one week from tonight at Deer Park Tavern, it was reported today. Both the Optimist and Santa Cruz high school Dad's Club are combining efforts so both the lightweight and varsity football teams can attend.

Fathers of football players, plus interested persons are urged to attend the banquet and sponsor a footballer. This will be done so the gridders can eat free of charge. For each sponsoring Dad or outsider, the fee will be 86, or $3 per person. A prime rib dinner will be served at 7 p.m. Approximately 50 gridders are expected to attend, so Ed Ogle, Optimist chairman, hopes to have at least 50 adults in attendance.

No reservations are being taken, nor are tickets being sold in advance. Most optimistic players on both the varsity and lightweight squads will receive awards at the banquet. The varsity player award being donated by the Optimist and the lightweight award by the Dad's Club. Selection of the recepients is left up to the coaches. 3 how 29 thru Dec.

five seniors and six juniors would be a tough team to beat on any autumn afternoon. Cardlet Coach Is Optimistic On Cage Year Already predicting a championship (depending on a couple of key individuals, Bill Dodge's Santa Cruz Cardlets will open its 1957-53 cage season Friday night against the Bellarmine 130's at 7 p.m. in the civic auditorium. Dodge, the coach, is banking heavily on junior center Ken Johnson, a returning letterman from the 1956-57 team. Johnson or Ted Hen-thorne, 5-11, sophomore, figure to be at the pivot post Friday night.

Preceding the lightweight contest, the Junior Varsity will play Bellarmine's Jayvees and the Santa Cruz lightweight reserves will meet Palma at 4 p. m. The Jayvee game is slated for 5:30 o'clock. Little Bob Alemany (5-3) is back again at one of the guard spots. This is Alemany's third season as a Cardlet and he made the All-CCAL team a year aso.

The other guard position is up for graDS Detween Art Hutcneon, Jim Esquibel and Bob Dabbs. The forward positions are open. Three players seems to have the edge here and they are Mike Do-minguez, Lee Sirles and Al Mc Common. Alemany, Sirles and Dabbs have looked good in practice sessions while Dominguez has been impressive on the boards. Alemany looks faster, Dodge said.

"He never lets up," he added. Sirles is full of hustle and he is hitting the bucket well, Dodge added. lie described the junior forward as a "fire boy." Dodge kept no secrets about his plans for the season. "We intend to press all over the court," he said. Speaking of the season outlook, Dodge said, "If everybody comes through, like they should, we should have a very successful season.

We think we can win the league championship," he said, "but that depends on key individuals." Boys who may be playing with the Cardlets, or the lightweight reserves include guards John Gill, Bob Lockwood, Bruce Bettencourt and Gene Williams, centers Jim Kowal and Pat Moore, forwards Tim -Mealiffe, George Hays and Don McDuffee.

The contest tomorrow figures to fill the MPC stadium, however, as the game is a traditional and the rivalry is to Monterey county what the Cal-Stanford game is to the San Francisco bay area. Monterey won a year ago, 24-14, ending a five-game Hartnell winning streak in the series. Hart nell holds a 6-3 edge in the series which started in 1948. Thus, MPC currently possesses the keg, a perpetual trophy for the winner of the traditional game. One Santa Cruz boy, now enrolled at Hartnell, may see action in the game.

He is Tom Mo-nelly, big Panther tackle. Six boys who permanently reside in the surf city, probably will see action for Monterey. This contingent is led by tackle Jim Gillies, the MPC team captain who formerly played end. Gillies stands 6-3 and weighs 200 pounds. Others who will probably see action, include guard Dick Knapp, quarterback Tony Costa, center Al Graap, tackle Clyde Woods and end Tom Leonard.

Woods is a likely starter. Hartnell coach, Ken Blue, probably hit the nail on the head earlier this week, when he said "the team that's highest will win. Santa Cruz Boys Irt Olive Bowl Tilt Lindsay lP. The first bowl game of the 1957 football season will be played in Tulare County tomorrow. Two central California junior colleges the Reedley Tigers and the Stockton Mustangs will collide in the 10th annual Lindsay Olive Bowl.

The Panthers have won three straight games.

MPC lost to the Jaguars earlier, 19-6. Both teams have won only three out of eight games to date and both squads are 2-2 in conference play and to winner, will go a share of second place. Vallejo has already won the Coast Conference (JC) title, with San Jose and East Contra Costa tied for second. Jim Gillies Hartnell has won its last three games, after dropping the first five to Porterville, Bakersfield, Ventura, East Contra Costa and Vellejo. They have drubbed Menlo, once a powerhouse but now a cellar-dweller, 40-14.

That was the Panthers' first win. Then came the big upset over San Jose, 20-14, sending the Jags into a three-game losing streak. Last week, the Panthers routed Allen Hancock JC of Santa Maria 32-13. Monterey has fallen before the College of Sequoias of Visalia and Glendale, then they downed American River JC of Sacramento, 33-7. MPC lost to San Jose and Vallejo, the latter by a mere 9-7 score.
