the fastest man on the MCRD roster, has recovered suffi. ciently to "see limited ac- tion," according to ,Tromet• ter, who also announced end Piggy Robinson would be ready to go all the way. The return ot both Walsld and Garner to the Devildog bacldiel is bad news for the Pioneers. MCRD's backs have a definite apeed edge over their collegiate foes and the service 1 i n e has a 10-pound p -man ad- vantage. USD's starting b kfield probably will call fer Vern V a 1 d e z at quarterback, Keyes and Joe McNamara, who played a whale o! a game against Pomona, 8t the halfback po itions and durable Duane Rudzinski at fullback.

Recruit Depot's teams will have injured standouts re- turn to their lineups for Sunday afternoon's tray at Lane Field. MCRD coach Bull TrO• metter reported quarter- back Pete Walski, former Santa Barl)ara ace, would be back to run the Depot's split-T formation. Walski hasn't p l a y e d since the Hamilton AFB game. The cast was removed from his broken hand over the past weekend. Bob McCutcheon, USD mentor, was elated over the return of halfback Bob Keyes, who apparently has fully recoveqid from a dis- located e 1 b o w, suffered while playing against Mon- tana State College of Boze- man.

University o! San Diego is expected to take to the air to-- day in an attempt to halt unbeaten Marine Corps Recruit Depot when the two clubs meet at 2 o'clock in Lane Field. Much of the success rides on the arm of Vern Valdez, USD's top quarterback. The Pioneer signal caller has hit on 56.6 per cent of his passes for 512 yards and five touchdowns in four games.

His targets are expected to be ends C. G. Walker, Tom Zajec and Merle Reed and backs Bob Keyes and Joe Mc- Namara. However, the massive Ma- rine line which will ou~eigh the Pioneers, 221 pounos to 205, will have to be detained in order to give Valdez time to throw Actually, the more expe. rienced Leathernecks w h o have disposed of six oppo- nents thus fai will be favored by at least three touchdowns. Along with heft, the Marine forward wall has several sea- soned college veterans. From left end to right will be Jim Robinson, two-time All-Amer- ican from Fisk University; Hank Schmidt, a former first stringer at USC; Ted Karras, a four-year letterman from Indiana; Ed Strange, four years at Kentucky; John Gre- mer, three seasons at Illinois; Buddy Lewis, four years al Arizona and Jack Stillwell, two years at Northwestern. Howev'er. Marine coach Robert (Bull) Trometter is concerned about his pass de- fense and,.offense. Ewing McLaren is expected at quarterback with Al Hall &nd either Ernie Merk or Bob Garner at halves and Jimmy Pyles at fullback. Trometter revealed t h a t Pete Walski and Tom Cook, two of his three injured quar- terbacks, should see some service.

Governcili Hopes For Jaycee Tieup By HOWARD HAGEN A closer athletic tieup between San Diego State and San Diego Junior College would help both schools, Aztec coach Paul Governali told the Monday Quarterback Club yesterday. Speaking at the weekly noon meeting of the group at "San Jose had been play.

(Continued) B o b McCutcheon, Univer- sity ot San Diego-"We had\ an open date last weekend and draw our toughest as- sigrunent of the year n e x t Sunday afternoon in Marine Corps Recruit Depot. With good passer Pete Walski back at quarter for the Marines, we will have to play them looser than planned - and that's dangerous against that big Marine line." Al Lewis, Cal Western Uni- versity-"Games have been scheduled with La Verne Col- lege (Nov 2) and Pomona Frosh Nov. 8). Saturday was an open date for us." Harry West, La Jolla High -"We've won one and lost two for a .333 record. With \ Mission Bay, Mar Vista, St. Augustine and Lincoln com- ing up, we hope to improve that percentage by the end of the season." Ken Maynard, Grossmont High-"Montebello, which de- feated us easily earlier in the season, was the smoothest high school team I've seen in l years. Before the Chula Vista game last Friday, we !igured we could win it we could stop Chula Vista's outside stuff, and we did (28-13). Our out- standing players were back Mickey Bruce, who scored four touchdowns; end Martin Flor- ence and halfback Dick Dick- inson. Schutte - "We expect a tough game Friday afternoon \ at La Habra . . . Twice this season our team has c o m e from behind to win, and we're proud of the boys." Governal!-"Arizona State, our opponent here Saturday, is stronger than last year, according to the scouts."
