san Francisco, Nov 7--(UP)--
Eight backs and two linesmen APP
pear 10 be the best football players
"a the Pacific Coast this season and
the consensus Is that George Kara
matte OF Gonzaga University heads
the list.
In the top-fiight are Ed Goddard
OF Washington state; Tubby Haines
washington; Nello Falaschi, Santa
Clara: Milt Popovich, Montana;
Joe Gray, Oregon State; Davie
Davis and Ambrose SCHNEIDER
Southern California; Del Bjork
Oregon, and Max StarceVich, WASH
ington. g..
Karamatic likely could make the
fullback Job on any team In the
country and perhaps gain All.
America honors II he played on q
more widely publicized and stronger
team than Gonzaga OF Spokane,
Wash. He Is powerfully built,
weighs 1876 pounds and can run 100
yards In 10 seconds. He took a
kickoff back 30 yards TO o touch
down through the entire st. Mary's
team. He was largely responsible
for Oonzaga's victory over san
: Francisco University.
Knee Injury Hurt
Goddard was the All-Players, ALL
American choice for quarterback in
l034.36. He does everything well,
A knee injury In the scoreless game
with Southern California kept him
out OF the oregon game and cut his
efficiency In the l4.l3 win OF WSC
over California.
IIalsback by Haines OF the WASH
ington HuskieS Is the fiashiest,
ardest-to-catch runner on the
coast. He Is All-America timber
o certain all-coaSt selection.
Falaschi OF Santa Clara blocked
and tackled 80 Wciously In the 1910
defeat OF Alabama Poly that the
Auburn players awarded him top
rating.
Popovich OF Montana, like Kara
matte OF Gonyaga, Is doomed 10
waste his brililance on team that
loses TO opponents with superior
manpower. His i02-yard return OF
q l1ckofS for a touchdown against
Oregon State last Saturday was
dAsEler.
Joe Gray OF Oregon state Is the
coasts best paSSer and Is grand
en.field runner. Fans who have
seen SCHNEIDER OF Southern Cali
foraia, say the sophomore quarter
bark has everything.
Players contend Bjork, OF Oregon,
"a one OF the coasts best tackles
and Starcevich OF Washington, the
top.ranking guard.
