Larry Siemering's job, as the new coach, was to build up the offense and let the defense take care of itself, the dopesters continued. Nothing wrong with the defense it had proved itself the year before.

Anyway, that was the story before the game with Utah State Friday night. So what happens? The defense permits 27 points to seep across the goal line while the unheralded! offense breaks loose for 33 markers. This column will now subscribe to the theory that what the Sun Devils need is a good defense the offense can take care of itself.

THE SELECTION OF FORD FRICK, the National League presl-dent, as commissioner of baseball has met with widespread approval. Friek, of course, is known in Arizona. He has visited here to check, on the New York Giants and usually left Phoenix to have a look-see at the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs in the Los" Angeles area.

The Longhorns cashed in on a recovered fumble for their touchdown and Herb Hunt, Kentucky back, took too much time trying to place the ball for ft conversion attempt and that was the story of tihs intersectional battle. A CROWD of 47,000 roared throughout one of the finest football games ever played in Memorial Stadium. Texas, noted for-its defense and not supposed to nave much or an offense turned to the forward pass to win the game. The score came late in the first periodl Paul Williams, huge Longhorn wing- man, dashed through to jar the ball out of Babe Parilli's" hands, then fell on it on the Kentucky 28.

Vance found the key to the Thunderbird defenses as he swept both left and right ends for large gains throughout the second half.

The Mustangs showed a flashing running game the first time they handled the ball, but were bogged by three quick fumbles and then seemingly sat back to watch the Birds operate. Bobby Doerr To Quit At End Of '51 Season ns In Spirited Deadlock Wildcats Engage Visitors Before Crowd Of 20,000 By ARNOTT DUNCAN Republic Sports Editor TUCSON, Sept. 22 Arizona and Utah battled to a spirited 0-0 deadlock in the first quarter of their inter-mountain football rivalry here Saturday night.

The game was widely advertised as apt to establish the probable future of each potential power house. THE TEAMS opened the quar ter by battling in midfield. Ari zona managed one first down and Utah two, one on a penalty. Then Arizona took over on its own 32 following a punt. The-Wildcats began to unleash a solid ground attack, with Bobby Hart rattling off one run of 15 yards and Ed Miller tagging Kenny Cardella for a 15-yard pass.

The cats moved down to the Utah 28, where Miller pitched a desperate fourth down pass that Dick Christiansen dropped in the end zone. The Utes took over. Then Utah worked up an attack along the ground on its own hook. With Kay Bernson, Phil Ramsey, and Jack Cross slashing the Arizona line and Tom Dubinski tossing occasional damaging passes, the Utes moved down to the Arizona 33 as the quarter, ended. FOR HIS final game at Arizona, big Walt Ziemer was made co-captain with Dick Christiansen.

Ziemer, 233-pound tackle, next week will enter a dental school in San Francisco. 7 A crowd was still moving in as the game opened, creating a traffic jam in the vicinity of the stadium.

Tempe made the first score recovering a Nogales fumble on the third play on Nogales's 25-yard line. Left halfback Ennis Stamp-hill went over in four plays for the touchdown.

FOR THE SUN Devils' it was Marv Wahlin, Buzz Welker, and Harley Cooper who sparked the ground attack.

Wahlin ground out steady gains of from six to eight yards when they were needed. Cooper; too, ran through the Farm-era line for good gains. It was a Harold Self to John Allen pass good for 22 yards that brought the Sun Devils their victory after Cooper had plunged nine yards for the tally that brought the Devils into a 27-27 tie with the Aggies. Self's signal was tricky enough to keep the outgained Aggies off guard as he concentrated on power plays through the line In the last period. COOPER ALSO played a good defensive game along with Bob Alford, Sam Duca, Earl Putman, and Cornelius McGrady.

Sparkplug for the Farmers was a shifty tailback, Paul Dinan, who Arizona ring- goers when he first swung into action here. He climaxed his Cinderella merrygo-round by kayoing Wendy Gallant for the middleweight crown. GALLANT wound up in the hospital, seriously injured, and since recovered but is on the shelf for good insofar as boxing goes. Qishop lost a few non-title fights after his ascension to the throne but he always put up exicting buttles. Charlie Salas, far outweighed, gave him a neat boxing lesson as did Petey Servin in an outdoor show last year.

But Bishop still has managed to hold onto his diadem and is coming out of his umpteenth retirement. Bishop gained considerable savvy in a recent tour, of Germany where he won six, lost three, and drew in three. His manager, Joe Franklin, thinks he is better than ever and will maintain the title for some time to come. JONES, a pleasing sort of a scrapper, doesn't have the experience that Bishop does but he looks like a genuine comer. His manager, Al Moore, has nothing but flowery adjectives as to Jones's prowess.

Even the one touchdown of the game, in the second quarter, was a freak, set up by a fumble. Michigan State had powered down to the Oregon State one-foot line' when a bad pass from center was bobbled in the hackfield en the fourth down.

Quarterback Al Dorow scooped up the ball, lobbed out a lateral to left half Don McAuliff who was alone in left field and McAuliff went over standing up. Sophomore safety man Jim Ellis, a track star, saved Michigan State's bacon when Oregon State mada its ripped off good gains and -didn't know when to stop running. An other steady ground gainer was Jim Garrett. THE AGGIES opened scoring in the game by taking the opening kick-off and marching 80 yards in plays. Garrett made it 7-0 with his first of three conversions.

In the opening drive the Farmers ripped, off gains of 18, 15 and 10 yards before the Devils ief ense began to unlimber from the unaccustomed cold and altitude and started smearing backs. The Sun Devils then began to roll after exchanging the ball with the Aggies on downs. Wahlin ripped off 36 yards over tackle from the. Farmers 46-yard line. Three plays and a penalty later, Wahlin went six yards over tackle for the score.

Tom Sanson kicked the first of three conversions to tie the score. THE SECOND quarter barely got under way when Cooper skirted right end for another tally and the Devils led 14-7. The TD was setup by a Self to Gene Mitcham Lpass good for 21 yards to the Ag gies 21-yard line. The Farmers bounced back to tie the score at 14-14 when they took the kickof and moved 80 yards on 1 plays with a Dinan-to- Earl Lmdley pass of 15 yards good for the tally. But ASC took the ball on its own 20 and put on an 80-yard march of its own in nine plays with Self scoring on a quarterback sneak from the one to make it 20-14 just before the half ended.

THE SUN DEVILS failed to move the ball after the quarter opening kick and Bob Reed, who played a good defensive game and punted well all evening, kicked to the Aggies 25 and the ball was run back to the 35. From there the Aggies started a drive that ended in 15 plays with the Farmers leading ASC 21-20. That's the way the third quarter ended with the Sun Devils failing to move the ball any appreciable distance. In the fourth quarter the Aggies again penetrated ASC goal on a 14-yard pass thrown by Dinan to Russell and led 27-20. Then the Devils setUed down and began acting like a football machine to pound out their two quick scores.
