(AP) A streak of confidence not reflected In the lost hour nows from the Uni versity of OreRon flushed from tho Oregon State college football team today as time sped on toward to morrow's Multnome.li field meeting for the northwest championship. Coach Lon Stlncr, who brought hU Warn In a day ahead of the battle for ft workout on the fnst but un ttirfed gridiron, said his l'nds had 'reached a fine mental attitude." Tex Oliver, the Oregon mentor, was 1 bit 6 loom y about his Introduction to tho reverent traditions of the state's annual civil war.

Otovanlnl and Foskett were Injur ed In the victory against Wnshlngton but neither was definitely ruled out of action. Oraybeal. whose long runs and passes lighted sevcrol touch downs eorly In the season, was hurt agnlnst Fordham. With the exception of wlngman Don Coons, the Beavers were in top physical condition. Coons received a cut above the eye In the Stanford contest, bxit will start tomorrow. Oregon State, third place Pacific const conference team, ruled tho fnvorlte on tho basis of a consistent showlntf since dropping the sched ule's opener to Idaho. The Webfoots have dtsplnyed niDmcnta of brilliance but prognost lea tors couldn't forget big score lickings against Stanford. Fordham. Southern California, and California.

BELCASIRO It will be another grudge battle at the Medford armory Monday night when Pete Bclcastro and Red Lyons exchange foul tactics In the main event of Promoter Mack U Hard's weekly wrestling card. Of course Be least ro and Lyons al ways have a grudge against someone but right now they havo a special grudge against each other because of the unsatisfactory way their match onded Inst Monday night. Pete say he won the match and Lyons says he. won It and tho records bock up tho Joplin Ohost. Truth of the matter is Referee Earl Yoakley won It. And for that Pete will have It In for Yoakley as well m Lyons. Fans will recall that Pete had Lyons down for the count In the deciding fall and Yoakley tapped the Mad Italian as the victor. Belcastro let go his hold and started walking to his corner. Then Yoakley discovered that Lyons had had his leg wrapped around the ropes and thereupon ruled that Instead of being down the Qhost was merely out of the ring and so Pete's work didn't count. Lyons then Jumped up and clouted the Italian over the back of the head and Jumped on him for the fall nnd match. To settle the question both men naked for a rematch and the obliging promoter accommodated them. So It ought to be a whirlwind with Yoakley absorbing not a little punishment from the enraged Belcastro. In the middle number 800 key e Jack McDonald will meet Floyd Brltt. younger brother of the famous Alvin Brltt. Floyd will be returning to Medford after an absence of several months. He la a clean, clever wrestler and Is considered a good match for1 the rough Hockeys. McDonald re- j sumed his scowling attitude last week ! after a period of namby-pamby mat 1 work and the funs registered approval of the return to his characteristic role of a tough ex-logger. The opener should uncork some really scientific wrestling. Frankte achroll and Cecil McCllll, both expo nents of fnst, clean grappling, will be the cast for the curtaln-ralner. Ladles' Night will be m effect, the generous Lillard permitting every purchaser of a ticket to bring a worn an companion without additional charge.

Nov. 35. (AP) Maybe yon thought the football season was about finished and may' be you're about right but In either event some of the choicest morsels 'remain to be fed to the fans. Not out of "bowela" either, be cause et least half dozen of -the nation's foremost undefeated learns still must risk their preciou necks in regularly scheduled encounters. Four such games, topped by the Pittsburgh -Duke business at Dur ham, are on tomorrow's menu, com peting with the pageantry of the otherwise meanLiglees Army-Nevy spectacle. Texas Christian faces a dangerous Southern Methodist crew In the Southwest conference. All bars arc down, too, on the Oklahoma, univer sity tussle with Oklahoma A. and M. and Texas Tcch'a appointment with Marquette. Bowl Candidate A11 of these foemen have been more or leas retlclent about their post . season plana but, In spite of denials they care about Invitations. Duke, Pitt and Texas Christian are all glowing prospects for any bowl and tomorrow's activities may deter mine In which direction each will entrain, If at all. The second section of this week's football supplement la spotted with other attraction offerlngs some of them so traditional as to make an old blue turn red. Georgia Tech and Georgia, Ford-hnm-N.Y.TJ., Washing ton -Washington State, Oregon-Oregon State, B-aylor-Rlce. Louisiana State-Tulane, Florida-Auburn and Boston College-Holy Cross all fall Into thta class. Few names Remain The day's long-distance prise, no matter what the score, wilt go to the Dart mouth -Stan ford rally at Palo Alto, Cel. After the echoes of this shouting have faded away, fans still will have Notre Dame's annual skirmish with Southern California, Tennessee's Southeastern conference contest with Mississippi and Oklahoma's tilt with Washington State to whet their In terest besides a sprinkling of other games right up until the big New Year's day blow-off.

Two unbeaten -untied schools were among athe claimants and a third demanded consideration despite a tie score. Thursday's biggest, surprise was Corvallis' 13-0 win over Salem. Jefferson of Portland added heavily to Its prestige by beating Mllwaukle, champion of the no-name league, one of the strongest circuits In Ore gon, The score was 14-0. Mac HI Claimant Mil ton-Free water, unable to sched ule a Thanksgiving game with Med ford, demanded a chunk of the title. The Pioneers were unbeaten and un tied in eight Blue Mountain league and lntersectlonal games. Medford. tied by Hood River early In the fall, wound up a great season by thumping Ashland yesterday, 27-7. Medford was a conspicuous team this year because of Its part in elim inating other state contenders, not ably Klamath Falls and Bend. The Tualatin-Yamhill valley league title went to Beaverton yesterday when the Beavers beat Ttgard, 14-0, before 2000 fans. The game broke a first-place tie between the two. Rainier and St. Helens played to a 7-7 tie. The deadlock did not dam age Ralnler's claim to the Columbia league title. Eugene Trims Tillamook Eugene, the team that ended Sal em's long winning streak this season, finished up with a 20-13 victory over Tillamook at Tillamook. Florence evened - its score with Waldport 12-7 at Waldport. Early this month Waldport won from Florence, 6 to 0. Cottage Grove closed with a 19-0 victory over Junction City. The Grovers won six out of eight games this season, were tied once and beaten once. Sllverton. a strong Willamette val ley team that, succumbed to Salem during the Vikings' winning streak this year, walloped Chemawa Indians In a finale, 26-13. A fine passing attAck and unsus pected running and plunging power gave Corvallis Its victory over Salem. The Atlantic end of the Panama canal Is nearer San Francisco than the Pacific end.
