Loyal Indian fans are hoping to be able to relive the momenta of glory which ended in a stale championship when they honor the stars who will clash with Beaver ton Friday for the crown. Len Casanova, head football coach at the University of Oregon, will be the guest speaker for the banquet.

Rooks, Frosh Slate Action By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Orecon State and Oregon freshman football teams will close their football seasons with a Thanksgiving morning game at Cnrvallis. The Oregon team will be trying to make it two straight unbeaten Frosh seasons. The 1959 rrosh squad was 4-0. This team is 2-0-1, having beaten the Oregon Staters, 12-0. in an earlier game, ana Washington, 1S-0. It tied Washing ton State, 14-14. OSC 1-1-1 Oregon State is 111. It swamped the Washington Frosh. 46-8, last weekend but lost earlier to Washington State. 22-20. Oregon State s hopes rest heav ily on the passing of quarterback Grodon Queen from Berkeley, Calif. Against Washington last week he connected on eight of 11 passes for three touchdowns and 217 yards. Oregon is expected to go to the air frequently, too. Quarterback Mike Brundage, from Roseburg, has accounted tor three touch downs with 16 completions in 39 tosses for 195 yards, lie will al ternate with Terry DeSylvia. an other fine passer who led David Douglas of Portland to the 19(30 Oregon class A-l high school title.

Vancouver 1 Calgary 5, Los Angeles S LEN CASANOVA . . banquet speaker Texas Clash Holiday Fare By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas, sidetracked in its rush toward the national championship five daya ago, will try to pick up the pieces against Texas A&M Thursday in the top game of a thin collegiate Thanksgiving Day football schedule. Texas Christian cut down the Longhoms, 6-0, last Saturday, so whatever the outcome against the Aggies, it will provide little sol ace, except for a berth in the Cot ton Bowl. In other games, Maine and Massachusetts play for the Yan kee Conference championship. Richmond meets William and Mary, Virginia Tech tangles with VMI (both Southern Conference contests), Colgate goes against Brown and Memphis State takes on Chattanooga. Despite the fact that their na tional title hopes have been shat tered Texas still is on the spot against Texas A&M. A loss to the Aggies also could leave the Long- horns on the outside looking in at the Cotton Bowl. Texas and Arkansas are tied for the Southwest Conference lead, each with a 5-1 record. If Texas whips Texas A&M and Arkansas gets past Texas Tech as it should Saturday, the Longhorns and Razorbacks would finish deadlocked for the lead. The host spot in the Cotton Bowl then would go to Texas on the basis of a 33-7 victory over Ar kansas earlier in the season. Syracuse is expected to decide today whether to play in New York Gotham Bowl on Dec. 9 or Philadelphia's Liberty Bowl on Dec. 16 or no bowl at all. The Gotham bowl has said it would like to pair Syracuse against Notre Dame in a replay of the Irish's controversial 17-15 victory over the Orange last Sat urday. But Notre Dame has a pol icy of not playing postseason games and no doubt will dcclino. The make up the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., on Dec. 30 was tentatively set Thursday night. Georgia Tech will face Mary land if the Terps win their season finale from Virginia Saturday. Yellow Jacket players voted un animously to accept the bid. Offi cial acceptance, under Southeast ern Conference rules, must await Georgia Tech's final game against Georgia on Dec. 2. Though not ss spectacular as some defensive units, the Indians manage to get the job done when the chips are down. Roseburg is unscored on in thi playoffs. It has successfully protected its end tone for 17 eonsccutiv quarters. Offensively, the Indiana hive racked up 222 points, and the Beavers have hit paydirt for 279 points. First Two Wen The Indians opened the season by rolling to a 15-0 victory over the Grants Pass Cavemen In a non-league outing. In Midwestern League (District 5-A-l) the Tribe edged Springfield's Millers, 7-6, in a thriller, then blasted North Eu gene, 20-0, to serve notice of its intentions. Continuing to dominate league play the Indians whitewashed Thurston's Colts, 47-0, and tripped North Bend's Bulldogs, 21-6, to move in front in the standings. Roseburg stepped out of league play the next week to give the then-undefrated North Salem 11 a 13-7 setback and move into sec ond place on the prep polls behind ; Beaverton. The Indians followed the North Salem triumph with a 1 13-7 victory over a strong Marsh I field team to jump into first place, one step ahead of the Beavers. Ending league play with a 26-0 j victory over South Eugene s Axe i men the Indians earned a berth in I the state playoffs. Warming up for tne quarterfinal game against Grants Pass, the Indians trounced the Cottage Grove Lions, 20-0, to keep their perfect record intact. Title In Sight Meeting the Cavemen for the second time the Indians rolled to a 21-0 victory to get a chance at the Jesuit Crusaders in the state semifinals. A 19-0 win over Jesuit gave the Indians the chance at the state championship. Beaverton won the Metro League (District 3-A-l) title with a perfect 9-0 mark. The Beavers gave notice of their power early in the season with 26-0 and 27-0 wins over As toria and David Douglas, the de fending stato champ. The Beavers kept their winnine streak going with a 33-0 win over bresham, a 26-7 victorv over Mil- waukie and a 33-7 triumph over Sunset. Though Clackamas took an early lead against Beaverton, it was to no avail as the Beavers came back strong to grab an 18-6 victory. Centennial of Gresham became the next victim of the Beaverton machine as it fell 39-7; then the Beavers blanked a touch Hillsborn squad 12-0. Beaverton wound up league play with a rousing 20-0 win over Central Catholic. Entering the playoffs against Jefferson of Portland, winner of the PIL crown, the Beavers took to the air to record a lopsided 19-0 win. In the semifinal game Beaverton dropped North Salem, 26-19, after battling the Vikings to I 13-13 deadlock aalftime. Roseburg sports a well-balanced offense with quarterback Paul Brothers, halfback AI Joelson and fullback Mike Flury leading the rushing attack. Passing Brothers and end Ray Palm, a pair of all staters, team up to give the In dians one of the best aerial com binations in the state. In addition to Palm, Brothers has good tar gets in end Pete Butter and backs Bill Kirkpatrick and Bruce Long. Beaverton relies on its ground game to roll over the opposition, though the Beavers have proved deadly when forced to take to the air. The running of fullback Don Aaberg and halfbacks Dan Claus er and Brian Sinnerud lead the Beaver chargers, while Sinnerud handles the passing which is used mostly to keep the opponents off balance. In the forward wall, the Indians will find themselves by 11 pounds per player. The Beav ers, lea Df all-state guard Rudy Diterichs and all-state center Ron Vrlicak, pack an average of 194 pounds per man in the line, while the lighter Indians average 183 pounds. comparative statistics of the Roseburg . North Salem and Beav erton - North Salem games show some of the power of the two teams against a rugged foe. Ksba.

The second-place Lions will be' strengthened by the return of John Gordy. Thursday's battle will be na tionally televised (CBS, 12 noon EST) and will lure a sellout crown bettering 53,000 into Tiger Stadium. An Army spokesman said Hor nung had received a holiday pass and would leave Fort Riley, Kan., today. Coach George Wilson of the Lions said he received word the other soldiers would fly here from Ft. Lewis, Wash. Wilson, fed up with the Lions inability to win at Tiger Stadium, sought and received permission to have his players wear road uni forms against the Packers. Five of Detroit's six victories occurred in road games when the Lions wore white shirts. The uniform gimmick is some thing Wilson is reluctant to dis cuss.
