Just Call Cleveland a 'Pest'
By SANDY PADWE
Cleveland Jones, the Ore
gon halfback from San Diego,
Calif., is known as "Smiley" to
his teammates, "Pussyfoot" to
Stanford's Cactus Jack Curtice
and "that pest" to everyone
else who has played against
him.
The smallest player in major
college ranks, Jones stands just
5-3 and weighs 148 but his rec
ord at Oregon is better than any
of the "king-sized" backs.
This year, the little speedster
was one of the main cogs in
the Oregon attack as the Ducks
posted a 7-2-1 record which
landed them a berth in Satur
day's Liberty Bowl battle
against Penn State.
Every place you looked this
fall, Jones was there.
He was Oregon's top scorer
Lion Grapplers Record 7 Pins
in 39-4 Rout Over Mounties
By JIM KARL
Referee Grover McLaugh
lin's hand slapped the mat
with monotonous regularity
Saturday afternoon as the
Penn State grapplers scored
seven pins over an out-manned
and out-conditioned West Vir
ginia squad for a 39-4 victory.
There were only about 200 peo
ple on hand for the battle be
tween these old rivals at Moun
taineer Fieldhouse in Morgan
town.
Two draws, one between
State's John Trojan and George
Nedeff at 191, and the other be
tween Dan Johnston and Bob
Petres at 137 accounted for West
Virginia's four points.
The match between Ray Baz
roli, last year's Southern Confer
ence champ, and Trojan never
came off. There were conflicting
reports that Bazzoli quit the
Mountie squad and that he just
wasn't ready to wrestle Saturday.
Lion Coach Charlie Speidel would
not comment.
Denny Slattery gave the Lions
a good start when he scored a fall
over Ralph Staton with 2:44 left
in the third period. Slattery was
leading, 10-2, before the pin.
Tony Scordo recorded his sec
ond consecutive pin of the sea
son when he flattened Mountie
George Thompson with seven
seconds left in the second period.
Scordo scored a third period pin
last week over Bob Protzman of
Army.
Petres had a 4-2 lead over
Johnston going into the third
period but the Lion junior got a
reversal to even the count at 4-4.
However, referee McLaughlin

Oregon coach Len Casanova
said.
"He'll block and tackle, he has
an amazing sense of balance
which makes him a fine runner
and the way he catt!hes a pass is
something to see.
"I don't really know what he
could do to be a more complete
football player," Casanova added.
Jones played high school and
junior college ball in San Diego
before coming to Oregon in
1959.
Stanford was the first team
that tried to stop the midget

frustrated Curtice exclaimed.
It was the same story in this
year's Stanford game with Jones
catching a pair of touchdown
passes in addition to a couple of
long runs.
Despite his size, Jones has al
ways been a regular and never
has been hurt enough to miss any
action.
Earlier this year, Smiley was
knocked cold by a gang of
Utah tacklers. Asked if he was
hurt, Jones answered, "Not
hurt, just outnumbered."

Myer got a takedown after
Hoblitzell escaped in the second
stanza and then threw him with

After a scoreless first period

Snowstorm Forces Nittanies
To Hold Rec Hall Workout
The weekend snowstorm which
paralyzed most of the East left
Rip Engle with plenty of worries
and forced the Lion gridders to
hold practice indoors yesterday.
Dressed in full gear, the Liberty
bowl bound Nittanies held a com
plete workout in Rec Hall.
"I don't know when we'll be
able to get back out," Engle said,
"but I hope it's soon. That game
is only a few days away."
I While the Lions were ex
periencing plenty of trouble here,
Bud Dudley, the Liberty Bowl
prosident, was trying to figure
how to rid Philadelphia Stadium
of nearly 15 inches of snow.
Dudley was on the phone for
quite some time yesterday talking
to weather experts throughout the
East and one in Chicago..
He told the Associated Press
that he had 'checked several
weather maps and spoke to quite
a few experts who assured him
that Philadelphia would have
good weather over the weekend.

He said he expects quite a few
Oregon alumni from the East to
turn out for Saturday's game.
