BETTER PASSING College Teams Average 13.8 Points Per Game, Sta tistical Bureau Reveals. By Gail Fowlr Seattle. Nov. 11. JPh-After painstaking pursuit through a maze of digits and decimals, the American Football Statisti cal bureau disclosed today that: 1 Intercollegiate football among the "majors" is showing more points scored per team per game than during the last decade. 2 The scoring increase re sults from an Increased forward pass completion percentage rath er than from the minute in crease in total offensive yard age, most of which is attrib utable to rushing rather than passing. The bureau based its conclu sions on perusal of figures on 1.170 games involving major teams up to November 1. 13.3 Last Year It found that the average team per game is scoring 13.8 points, compared to 13.3 for last year, which in itself was a high mark for a decade. Thus, for every 100 games played. 100 more points have been scored than was the case in 1940. Or put it this way both teams combined in the average 1941 game will compile 27.6 points, compared to 26.6 last year. Total offense gains rushing and passing only shows about a yard increase per team, most of it found in the rushing col umn. The composite yardstick discloses that fewer passes are being thrown and fewer yards are being gained in the air. . But the forward pass com pletion percentage has climbed to a modern high of .387, and Ihis leads the bureau to its belief that the "steady and constant perfection of the use of the forward pass is responsible for the scoring increase." The pass completion percent age has increased each year since the bureau started keeping records in 1937, when the figure was .363. Last year it was .386. "In the tents of great hunters, , .

Laurel and Hardy They're the target in target practice; they're the pain in the sergeant's neck; they're Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy who Gophers Voted Number One Grid Team; Stanford Sixth BY BILL BONI New York, Nov. 11. P) Fordham's defeat by Pittsburgh and the 7-7 tie to which Texas was held by Baylor had their aftermaths today in the fifth of the weekly football ranking polls conducted by the Associated Press. The Rams first loss of the season dropped them right out of the first ten: Texas, though still undefeated, was shoved down to second place, and a full tide of favor swept the Golden Gophers of Minnesota back into the No. 1 position which was awarded them at the beginning of the campaign. Ballots were received this week from 122 football experts all over the country, and 99 of them made Minnesota their first choice. Thus the Gophers, win ners of 15 straight games, were returned to the spot they held for the first two weeks of the season and shared with Texas two weeksi ago. With improving but three-tjmes beaten Iowa and high-scoring but four-times-beat en Wisconsin left on the sched ule, Minnesota now appears a good bet to finish its second straight season without defeat and also repeat as No. 1 team in the final national ranking. Besides Minnesota, only three other major elevens are unde feated and untied, and all of them made the first ten. Duke, with 11 first-place votes and 844 points, got third place; fourth went to Texas A. and M., with six and 794, and Duqucsne, which ends its season Saturday against undefeated, once-tied Mississippi State, broke into the select group for the first time at tenth place.

Notre Dame, unbeaten but tied by army; Stanford, west coast standout which recovered handsomely from its single loss to Oregon State: Michigan, beat en only by Minnesota: North western, nosed out both by the Gophers and Michigan, and Ala bama, its record marred only by an early-season loss to Mississip pi State, won the other berths. The Irish, impressive in hand ing Navy its initial defeat, were moved up from seventh to fifth; Stanford, with two games to go for another Rose Bowl trip, from ninth to sixth; Michigan from eighth to seventh, North western from 10th to eighth, and Alabama from 13th to ninth. BY MAIHIIES 'Take the turkeys over the Greenspring mountain" was the slogan of five Klamath Falls trapshooters who won 13 of the 36 Thanksgiving turkeys at the Medford Gun club turkey shoot Sunday. The outstanding winner was Puckett with five wins and a score of 190 broken targets out of 200 shot at. . For the Jackson county shoot- Evening! Matin: Kiddle TO VIEW ARTICLES ON DEFENSE LIST Six delegates will go from Jackson county to Portland to inspect the government's exhibit of articles and parts that can be manufactured by small factories in the national defense program. This course was voted at a meeting of machine, sheet metal and woodworking shops at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce last night. Two dele gates from each of the three man ufacturing classifications will make the trip to Portland where a special train housing the government's exhibit will be on display November 24. Government engineers are to be present to explain the procedure to be followed in procuring con tracts to turn out the articles and parts shown in the exhibit, the meeting last night was told. The delegates are to be named in a few days. Glenn L. Jackson, president of the chamber of commerce, told of the necessity of procur ing some of the small govern ment contracts if employment for skilled workers is to be pro vided in Jackson county and if all artisans are not to be drained from here to other parts of the west coast where defense manu facturing jobs are a magnet. Mr. Jackson stressed the economic value of defense contracts to the entire county and counseled that if some effort is not made to get government defense orders this county will be left high and dry so far as any manufacturing and the retention of skilled wor kers arc concerned. Diamond Flynn, chairman of the chamber's industrial com mittee, who presided, pointed out that government officials have declared their intention of enlisting every single shop and factory that can produce any thing needed In defense. He as serted that shops in Jackson county are equipped to handle thousands of dollars worth of contracts in the manufacture of small articles and parts and de clared there was a good chance to obtain such contracts If a serious effort la made to get them. era Jantzer and Bowser each won two turkeys and Jantzer broke 73 out of 75 in the three 25-bird events he shot In.
