Rose Bowl lilt Starts Already As attle SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27 (UP) The Rose bowl brain game" got under way today as coaches Ray Eliot of Illinois and Chuck Taylor of Stanford started preparing for the Pasadena New Year's Day classic. Both coaches have more or less turned their players loose but the staffs linger on, mapping defenses while viewing movies of their next foe, or planning offensive surprises. The two clubs officially got the bids yesterday to represent the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast conference in the game that will be seen by 100,000 in Pasadena plus countless millions on television.

Taylor Regains Poise There were reports that coach Taylor of Stanford was planning to junk his whole offensive after the shellacking he took from California last Saturday. But the -youthful coach probably feels better about the whole thing today. Coach Pappy Waldorf of California told me that his Bears played their best game in five years, said Taylor. So maybe we didnt do so badly, at that. I will sav this: The defeat by Cal was good for our club and will help get us in shape for Illinois.

The scout reports will be mulled over for the next few days by both coaches, Eliot Lacks Reports Eliot said that he did not have a scout on Stanford at any time. However, he will have available the scouting reports of Ernie McCoy and J. T. White of Michigan, who worked for the Big Ten. He presumably also will be able to look at the moving pictures of the Miehigan-Stanford game.

Taylor had scouts following Illinois for its games against Ohio State and Northwestern. He also will be able to see pictures of the Illinois-UCLA and Illinois-Wash-mgton games, which should give him a fairly full report. Waldorf of California believes that Stanford will give a good account of it self against the Big Ten foes. Pappy is optimistic considering what happened to the three teams he took there in the last three seasons Cal lost all three of its Rose bowl starts under am if 1 a' tr.e mot ait rr be huh 'Ched turn a 'nr Oiioi bv the ui ie bill plaVfT' thf Lio VUi tu.ldir...

The coaches feel the same way about it. So we're disbanding the team ruht now. Van C.

1 college football team in 1951. The 35 outstanding coaches who make up the United Press rating board made that clear today when they gave undefeated Vols of coach Robert Neyland a total of 334 out of a possible 350 points. It was the strongest showing made by any team the ratings this season. They' gave Tennessee 26 first-place votes, five seconds, two thirds, one fourth and one fifth one of the few times this season that a single team has appeared on every coach's ballot. Points are scored on the basis of 10 for a first-place vote, nine for a second and so on down to one for a 10th.

Michigan State remained in see-' ond place, getting six first-place votes and a total of 308 points. There were two changes the top 10 from last week. Stanford, third a week ago, dropped to eighth place as the result of its defeat by California while Southern California, 10th last week, dropped down to a tie for 21st place after being beaten by UCLA. The newcomer in the top 10 was Texas Christian, which did not receive a single vote a week ago With Stanford dropping five places. Maryland.

PAS TnE STUFF TO BE CPE cFrpe Beef S6NAL CALLERS AV ILLfll STOP' BEAT BCTP PVASPPSToP AND McpeA.i WrP scorPq EAVES WTPN TPE 2 MPUTES CF PA A A ill TO SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27 (UP) Stanford California and Sojfhern California, all of them western powerhouses this season, placed two men apiece today on the United Press All-Pacific Coast football team.

It is a big. veteran club boasting four of the finest backs ever to perform in the West; and it has a great 220-pound line headed by two unanimous choice ends Bill Mc-Coll of Stanford and Ed Barker of Washington State. The backfield comprises quarterback Gary Kerkorian of Stanford: halfbacks Frank Gifford of Southern California and Ollie Mat-son of San Francisco university, and hustlin Hugh McElhenny of Washington. All Record Holders Of this quartet. Kerkorian led the Pacific Coast conference in passing; McElhenny was tops in rushing, followed by Gifford, and Matson was one of the top ground-gainers in the nation.

McColl and Barker ran one-two in the PCC pass receiving department. McColl was a 1950 All-American and is expected to repeat this year. The tackle slots are manned by 250-pound Herman Clark of Oregon State, the bulwark of one of the West's finest lines, and Hal Mitchell, vastly-improved UCLA Bruin. Pat Cannamela, the great USC linebacker, drew one of the guard posts, and I.es Richter, jut as good as when he made All-American last year, took the other spot for California. The center post also went to a California man, Charley Harris, considered by many to be the top pivot man the country.

Backs Pose Problem Selection of the backs posed a problem. Some coaches rated Don Klosterman of Loyola as the finest quarterback in America; and some thought Ed Brown of Sun Francisco to be an equally-fine play caller. However, Kerkorian successfully carried his team through a tougher schedule than either. Klosterman made the second team, along with Brown, who also is a crack defensive player for the unbeaten Dons, It was a tough year on some very fine backs Injuries knocked such stars as Johnny Olszewski of California out of the running in the all-star berths. However, most of them will be back for another try next year This season's all-star club has 10' lUrp.

Head coach (Tuck Hughes revealed that the team seiectei Jim Cram and Dave Alcorn as honorary captains for the la-t season Crain and Alcorn are both seniors, and both were steady performers during the season. Cram as a double-duty end and Alcorn rs an olf ensue center Raineri Top Terrier Principal Howard Snyder presented the trophy for the most valuable player on the Terrier squad to Johnny Raineri. and remarked that Johnny made them when it i counted. Raineri was a constant breakaway threat, and was a al-, uable defensive halfback.

Coaches Frank Vizza and Cal Turman praised the spirit of the Terriers in winning the place as co -champion of the Yosemite league, and Vizza announced Dennis Sanchez was selected as hon-, orary captain. Sanchez was a full-, time performer at the guard spot for the Terriers. Freshman coach Earl Johnson said the frosh did not break any records, but he said they showed promise for future years. Bert Works presented the trophy for the most valuable player on the, freshman squad to Jerry Reinhart. 1 Hughes, DeOrian Grateful Both Chuck Hughes and Malcolm DeOrian thanked the boys on the varsity team for their courage sticking out the season while they! absorbed their lumps, and predicted that this sort of spirit would build fine teams for Hanford.

All the coaches thanked tne mothers for the fine banquet, and master of ceremonies Charles Chambers added his appreciation. The mothers for their part thanked the merchants of the town for, their fine cooperation, ami wished to express their gratitude to all the persons who offered their help, The banquet was a festive occasion with a turkey dinner keeping the conversation to a minimum dur.ng the early part of the evening. The tables were decorated jvvith miniature football players which the team members were i able to keep for souvenirs The fig-I ures were made by Mrs Lance iTroxler, herself not a football 1 mother hut just a person interest-I ed in the team. i Following the banquet and the presentation of awards the motion pictures of the 13o0 Stanford-Soiphrrn Cal. forma game were show fiE ATTENDED POTRE DAME A YEAR BEFORE TRANSFERRING LLNOS-APP POP 7PE RSP COULD PAVE PUT PM TO Use thstnbutrd fey Ktny Faiuret gyndirof Lemoore CYO Thumps Hanford Team, 19-0 Old man upset was on the prowl, Saturday, not only on the college fields but also on the home front as Lemoore CYO tagged Hanford CYO with a 19 to 0 defeat at Neighbor field.

The score was the identical count by which Hanford had thumped Lemoore earlier in the season, but this time it was Lemoore who had all the points. Manuel Fiero was the chief tormentor of the Hanford line as the Lemoore back slashed through for big gains all through the game.
