1 tDuc&*7,i&c6& By TOM CHAPMAN K.mvraM Sports Writer mam The haze focused above the big howls is clearing. 1 wo weeks remain in the regular season, but the boys who pick the teams tor the January classics can see through the foot baTl fog atul the chance remains that the Rose and Sugar Bowls will offer a rematch of four teams that have already placed each other in ’56. The Orange Bowl gets the also rans, and the Cotton Bowl should remain undecided until next week. Since Oregon State and Iowa have virtually clinched the Pacific Coast conference and Big Ten races. Pasadena fans can hope for a repeat of the 14-13 thriller won by the Hawkeyes on Oct. 6. The Beavers need only a split in their final two games against Idaho and Oregon to sew up the PCC. Iowa must beat or tie Ohio State this Satur day to nab the Big Ten. Neither team has actually played in the Rose Bowl. Ore gon State was the PCC representative in 1942. but the game \vas moved to Durham. X.C.. because of W orld \\ ar II. I he Beavers beat Duke 20-16 in that one. Iowa hasn't won a con ference title since 1922. Sugar Bowl Top Tilt Another rematch at New Orleans could be the best game of the day if it comes off, that between Tennessee and Geor gia Tech. The Vols beat the Engineers la^t Saturday. 6-0, both squads going into the game unbeaten. Tennessee is a virtual cinch to get the nod as host team, with the pick of Georgia Tech still a matter of doubt. They could wind up in the Cotton Bowl. Still an important factor, however, is the Louisiana segregation laws which forbid Negroes and whites to participate on the same athletic field. This should rule out any top Northern team. The Orange Bowl at Miami should wind up with little to offer to viewers. Since Oklahoma, the certain Big Seven champ, is ineligible for a repeat visit, the nod should go to either Colorado or Missouri against the current Atlantic Coast leaders, Clemson. Colorado and Missouri battled to a 14-14 standoff Saturday, but the Tigers must play Okla homa this weekend and need a victory to gain the nod over the Buffs. Let’s consider this impossible! Clemson had been tied twice, hut remain undefeated against teams like Presbyterian. Virginia Tech and North Carolina State. Maryland tied them last week, but the Tigeri have only one league game remaining, that against oft-beat en Virginia. NCAA Sidetracks A&M The Cotton Bowl is still in shambles. Texas A&M re mains the favorite Southwest conference team, but must heat Rice and Texas to gain a clear cut crown, its first in 15 years. Besides Rice and Texas, the Aggies face one other obstacle, that off the XCAA who placed them on probation for certain recruiting violations (shades of the PCC) and this could force them out of any bowl. If Texas A&M gets the big bounce, then the Southwest representative comes from the second place team, probably Baylor since the Bears currently are in the second spot. Opposition to either A&M or Baylor should come from two top Eastern teams. ^Syracuse or Pittsburgh. The Orangemen have lost only one this year while Winning six and play Colgate in their final outing. Pitt has been beaten twice, California winning 14-0 and Minnesota 9-6, but a super-human schedule which included Syracuse, Duke, Notre Dame, Army, Penn State and Miami among others, could be the reason for the two setbacks. Bar none, the Panthers have the nation’s toughest schedule, and could get the Cotton Bowl nod. Finally, the Gator Bowk The Jacksonville game should wind up with either Pitt'or Syracuse, probably the team that doesn’t get the Cotton.bid. Opposition could come from various teams, Texas Christian, Penn State, Mississippi, or what have you. This week should decide it all. USC Next for Gridders; Belko. Drills Hoopsters By TOM CHAPMAN Kincrald Sport* Writer The rains came down Monday but the Oregon football Ducks ran through a light practice ses sion in preparation for a Satur day tussle in Portland against the Southern California Trojans. Meanwhile the basketball squad went through their drills In the gvin. Head Coach Len Casanova sent the Webfoots thiough light de fensive drills, then capped off the workout with movies of the Washington State game, away from the drizzle which fell dur ing the latter stages of practice.

Although Oklahoma earned 92 first place votes among the 159 ballots from sports writers and six> rise asters and Tennessee re ceived 58 first, the point total gave tile Vols the nod 1446 to 1444. Point totals are figured on the basis of lu for first, nine for second and so on down to one |»oint for tenth. Michigan State in third place was back with ^93 points. Despite Oklahoma's 44-0 romp over Iowa State for its 37 th straight victory, Tennessee drew more attention from the voters by its 6-0 victory over Georgia Tech in the Atlanta struggle of the unbeatens. One voter failed to list Okla homa among the top 10 teams. Tennessee's strength rested in its harvest of 75 second-place bal lots to 34 for Oklahoma. Oklahoma led the pre-season poll and topped all other regu lar season voting with the ex ception of one week when Michigan State took over. Michigan State advanced to third with three firsts after its 12-9 edge over Purdue while Georgia Tech dropped to fourth on its defeat by Tennessee. The Texas Aggies held tight to fifth on the strength of a 33-7 deci sion over Southern Methodist and Ohio State moved up a peg to sixth by thrumping Indiana 35-14. Iowa made the most startling gain, all the way from 15th to seventh by its 7-0 conquest of Minnesota. Idle Miami remained eighth, Syracuse clung to ninth by bouncing Holy Cross 41-0 and Michigan again rounded out the top 10 with a 17-7 victory over Illinois. Among the secojM 10 there wait a great hbaffling with Minnesota falling all the way from sixth to 17th. Texas Christian, Colorado, UCLA and Stanford dropped out of the top 20 and George Wash ington, Mississippi and Prince ton took over. Oregon State moved to 11th. The weekend schedule calls for four games among teams rated among the best in the nation. Tennessee (1) entertains Missis sippi (19), Michigan State (3) is at Minnesota (17), Ohio State (6) at Iowa (7) on Saturday af ternoon and Miami (8) plays host to Clemson (13) in a big Friday night game.

Jack Brown, speedy halfback, and Tom Crabtree, quarterback, who netted 166 yards Saturday in the Homecoming contest, turned up with minor Charley horses. Otherwise, the Ducks are In • top Hhape for the afternoon skirmish in Multnomah stadium against the once-beaten Trojans, who lost to Stanford two weeks ago. To win this one. the Web- i foots will be geared to stop C. It. Roberts, elusive Troy fullback and PCC rushing leader. His counterpart Jon Arnett Is gone, but Roberts has taken over where Arnett left off In driving coast defenders dizzy with his running. While wet grounds hampered un all-out workout by varsity footballers, head basketball coach Steve Belko sent his hoopsters through offensive and defensive patterns, and finished off with a half-hour scrimmage. Belko sent Wimp Hastings. Hal Duffy.
