Page 4 It's bad news for many University of Portland basketball followers this fall. Their adept little guard, Jim Winters, took an army physical the other day and was immediately placed in 1-A classification. It is extremely doubtful if Winters would have been around to dribble for the Pilots anyway as his scholastic standing at the university is reportedly far below par. Why do so many high school athletes jump into college ex· pec:ting to get free rides with no outward effort made toward the :true essence of college attendance, :that of getting an education? It is a shame :to see all the young fellows fail :to make the aca– demic portion of college, devoting all :their time to athletics and evidently play, no books, * Oregon State comes up with two more Negro halfbacks. Both are from San Francisco City college and played together last year. Wally Jackson played left half and Marvin Ussery played right half. So far they are reserves on Kip Taylor's eleven. Last year's two standouts, Dave Mann and Bill Anderson, are both missing to the squad this year. Mann is now playing Pacific Coast league ball with the Oakland Acorn sand Anderson is serv– ing in the air force. Granville Gladstone is back in Beaver spangles after leading the Western International league in runs batted in. His teammate at Victoria, Jehosie Heard, won 20 games and pitched the only no-hit game in that A league this season. He, too, is back _in a Beaver uni– form. Maurice Boyd is to report :to :the Beaver :training camp next spring for a promised :tryout with Hopper's nine. Boyd played softball in the city league during :the summer months. He had an earlier :tryout with :the Beavers and was :told to report back next spring in California. Down at the University of Oregon Ben Johnson is doing well for himself with Len Casanova's rookie Duck squad. This is Johnson's first crack at big college football since he injured his shoulder dur– ing his high school days at Roosevelt. Along with Johnson on the Oregon eleven are Emery Barnes and Emmett Williams. Williams was a standout guard with the Ducks last year and has already cinched a starting berth. Barnes is back after a year's absence. Under Jim Akin he was a menace on defense to Oregon's opposition. Suitcase Simpson recently received a substantial increase in salary from the Cleveland Indian front office. Simpson is currently tied for triple leadership in the junior circuit with the Yank's little scooter Rizzuto. Notice how improved big Luke Easier is since returning :to Cleveland from :their Indianapolis farm club. He has sparked the Indians in their late surge for the American league flag. No reason on earth why they shouldn't nose out the Yankees, what with three 20-game winners on the firing line in Garcia, Wynn and Lemon. The big difference between them and the fabulous Yankee clan is their lack of coolness when the chips are down. Things are looking up for television here in Portland and this undoubtedly will ·mean that Portlanders will be able to view the World Series on TV screens. Lonnie Harris, Louis Fuller, Art Shepherd and Bob Herndon are playing seven-man football for Sandy Court. Herndon starred in last Sunday's first victory for Sandy.
