November 17, 1953 Tucson Town cats (Brill Coach uction With Gut TUCSON (AP) Judging from Coach Warren Woodson's remarks yesterday he Is not happjr with University of Arizona football team. That puts it mildly. John Ford, backfield coach and scout, started the weekly meeting of the Towncats, downtown supporters of the Arizona team, on an optimistic note.

"I think we can do a pretty good job against Kansas State Saturday, if we get our defense going." Ford said. "I think we can go." Then Woodson started answering a series of written questions. IT think you deserve a good football team, a better one than we have," he said. "John wasn't here Saturday night" he went on, without di- rectly mentioning Arizona's 20-28 loss to Texas Western. "He says we win if we get our defense going.

The word defense is a misnomer. I don't know what we used, but it wasn't a defense. "We just used rolling blocks. We didn't tackle. Next year we are going to take shoulder pads off our equipment list.

It seems we don't need them." Woodson felt some Arizona players are allergic to body contact. heard a talk on an interesting he said. "It-seems that if a man walks up and hits someone of that belief in the face, he doesn't retaliate and doesn't even get mad at the person. Tm going to check the religious beliefs of some of our football players. "There is something wrong, and we've got to find out what it is.

We are big enough. I think we are ugly enough. We just aren't aggressive enough." Another question asked, "Why didn't the team defend against medium-long passes down the middle?" 1 "Wtf didn't defend against anything," Woodson retorted. "We scored a touchdown to make the score 21-20. When you have a ball club that is really fighting, they'll keep the other fellow out when you try to kick the extra point.

Certainly they know how important it is. "But three or four Texas Western players broke through and blocked the kick. That was the tip-off right there. We weren't in there, alert, and trying to win the game." The annual Towncat banquet honoring the 1953 Arizona team will be held Nov. 30, it was announced yesterday.

In his column, Glaudi pointed out that the Sugar Bowl reportedly is having a difficult time of selecting teams from the "slimmest field in history." Glaudi said, "If it (the Sugar Bowl) is sincerely seeking a colorful new face, fresh money for our town (West Texas oil money, too, the greenest in all Texas) and a top ranking challenger for an SEC club, it could do itself proud with Texas Tech." Glaudi listed what he considered the strong points in selecting Texas Tech: "It is the nation's highest scoring team with 341 points. "It has defeated, among others, Mississippi State (once beaten in SEC and one of its leaders); Oklahoma College of the Pacific (conqueror of Stanford); and Saturday it slaughtered Tulsa 49 to 0, just a week after the latter had whipped Houston.

Glaudi said he considered Tech a much better selection than Southern Methodist, Rice and Texas. And, he added, following the Houston loss, "who wants Baylor now."

Open 7 days a week 8 AM to 9 PM with a Eh I i BYU Makes Best Showing Against ASC "This was the best game I've seen Brigham Young play in two years," Coach Chick Atkins of the Cougars tora ASC Assistant Bob White after the game Saturday.

Speaking before the Phoenix Press Box Association, White said that the BYU team came up with a fine showing and lots of spirit to make it hard for the Sun Devils to squeeze out a 26-18 victory. White, speaking for absent Clyde Smith, said Brigham Young's performance against ASC was a complete reversal of form. He scouted them the week before as Colorado took an easy victory. Scout Bill Kajikawa reported that next week's opponent, Mid western, is a big club, one of the largest ASC will come up against this season. "I hope they don't rise to the occasion and give too hard a time," he said.

Clearly happy that the team is minus injuries with time coming close for the important season finale against Arizona, White praised Johnny Allen for his "great showing" against BYU and also thought the all-around play of Ruben Madril, a sophomore, was outstanding. "The boys have confidence in our single wing now," said Jim Montgomery about Phoenix College's runaway against Imperial Valley JC last week. Montgomery said the single wing definitely would be the attack against Eastern Arizona at PC Saturday. K-Staters In T6p Shape MANHATTAN, Kan.

Bill McCormlck, suffering: with a separated nose cartilage, right now looks like Arizona's starting tailback Saturday night. Kenny Cardella, who injured his knee against Texas Tech two weeks ago, still has not suited up for the Cats. In addition to Cardella both Tommy Grimes and Art Luppino, Arizona's other two tailbacks, did not dress out for practice yesterday. "We really have a problem there," commented Head Coach Warren "McCormick is all right because We can take care of a face injury with a mask. But the rest of the boys well I don't know." Woodson said more X-rays will be taken of Luppino's shoulder and chest to determine the full extent of his injuries.

Grimes has an injury in the lower back near the kidney. Cardella, according to Woodson, is still on the doubtful list. "We don't want to take a chance on hurting him bad," said Woodson, "so I really want to make sure he is ready to play before he gets in a game." -tt Expected To Tie For 1st CHICAGO (AP) The major ity of Big Ten athletic directors indicated yesterday that Michigan State probation will not influence their vote for the confer ence's representative in the Rose BowL An Associated Press survey showed that generally the direc tors will vote strictly for the football team they think is the Big Ten's best and can make the finest showing against the Pacific Coast Conference entry at Pasa dena next New Year's Day. They will not get involved in other factors. IF ILLINOIS defeats North western Saturday it will share the title with Michigan State, each with 5-1 records.

Wisconsin also can become a co-champion by beating Minnesota but is ineli gible to return to the Rose Bowl The Spartans ended their con ference campaign with a 14-6 victory over Michigan last week. They finish their regular season against Marquette Saturday and a victory would give tnem an over-all mark of 8-1, their only loss in a 33-game stretch being 6-0 to Purdue. An Illinois triumph would give the. Illini -an all-game record of one tie (21-21 to Nebraska), seven victories and one defeat, a 34-7 walloping by Wisconsin Saturday. THUS, POTENTIALLY, athlet ic directors will be voting for either Illinois or Michigan State.

There was evidence of some feeling in the conference that Michigan State's probation would reflect unfavorably in the vote. But this was all but dispelled yesterday. Directors will wire their votes to Commissioner L. (Tug) Wilson Saturday night and his announcement Is expected Sun day or Monday by the latest. He said in -case of a 5-5 tie, votes will continue to be taken until the stalemate is broken.

The commissioner has no authority to break a tie himself. Wilson reiterated yesterday that Michigan State was making very satisfactory progress in clearing up the matter of am but-side booster sponsored fund called the Spartan Foundation, Inc. Allegedly the organization operated for recruiting purposes without school supervision. WILSON, HOWEVER, would not say whether he will or will not recommend the probation be lifted during the Big Ten winter meeting in Chicago Dec. 9-12.

Every indication is that Michigan State will get a clean bill of health, however. Here are some of the directors outlooks on the Rose Bowl vote: Paul (Pooch) Harrell, Indiana "Michigan State's probation will not influence Indiana's vote. We feel Michigan State is a conference member and has played a conference schedule and this should be taken into consideration." GUY (RED) MACKEY, Purdue "I'm sure the Big Ten votes will be cast on the basis of se lecting the most representative eligible team and without regard to other factors." Guy Sundt, Wisconsin 'T know there is no feeling whatso ever here against Michigan State. Our vote is based on what the record is, and what team we be lieve will represent us, make the best appearance and showing in the West." Ike Armstrong, "We believe that the best team in the Big Ten that is eligible should go to "the Rose Bowl." These views were shared by several other directors. Others did not care to comment at this time.

The NCAA expects all boost er groups to open their financial records for inspection because it feels that colleges should know what such groups are doing, and because the records could affect the eligibility of any athletes given aid in excess of NCAA limits.

Aid must be lim ited to such things as board and room, tuition and fees, books, and WALTER BYERS not more than $15 per month in cash for such incidentals as laundry. Byers declined to discuss spe cific details of the charges and investigation that resulted in the ASC probation, commenting that he thought no good could come of such discussion.

Robert J. Enders, part owner of National Productions, said it is expected that 100 or so stations will air the program weekly.

ASKED HOW his TV film con tract compares with his last professional baseball one, Hornsby replied: "Quite favorably." He said that he has turned down managerial offers since last September, but would not say whether they were major or minor league clubs. The operation of the Hornsby TV show is still in the sketchy stage, but Enders said it is ex pected to have commercial sponsorship. BOB WOLFF, a Washington sportscaster, and Hornsby will appear on the show with a different major leaguer each week. Hornsby said he does not be lieve that at the moment tlere are enough capable players in tne country to man the 16 major league clubs. One of the reasons, he said, is because so many of them are trained by "young, inexperienced minor league managers who don't have the time, or often the background, to teach -them properly."
