BY CARL LUNDQUIST United Presi Staff Correspondent New York. Oct. 13 OJ.PJ Football teams harboring ambi tions for perfect-record seasons may find that they have run into a bad luck carryover from Friday the 13th tomorrow with upsets possible In at least half a dozen major games. Notre Dame's Irish, perform ing above strongest expectations In each of their games to date, aren't likely to have trouble against Dartmouth at Boston in the day's top lntersectlonal game, despite the fact that the New Hampshire Indians have been pointing for the occasion. A victory for Dartmouth, a 5-to-2 underdog, would rate as the major upset of the season to date. Others Unsure However, other major teams aren't likely to have it as easy. Purdue and Ohio State, listed as the top elevens in the big ten, both face opposition tomorrow In which they are little better uiciii even iinjiiuj'. i iic uujici- makers' play recently strength- ...

Utah and Colo rado are even money In the Rockies with Iowa State and Kansas "no choice" In the odds books In the big six feature.

ZERO CLUB Out of bounds, civilian only Delicious chicken and iteak dinnere. 7:00 p. m., S a m. except Sunday Phone day BEAR SUPPORTERS IN LITTLE SQUAD By Gene Friedman United Press Staff Correspondent Los Angeles, Oct. 13 (U.R There may be many a fatal fum ble to change the picture before New Year's day, but right now the supporters of California's Golden Bears wonder why they aren't getting at least passing mention In connection with the annual Rose Bowl classic. For a bunch of little fellows they are doing all right as well In fact as any other contender but up to now the attention has been concentrated upon those hardy perennials, the Trojans of Southern California. Trojans Better On paper, at least, the Trojans have the better ball club, but on the field last week there were a lot of folks who had their doubts about It on the basis of performance. The bears missed an upset victory in the final period when their touchdown drive bogged down Just one foot short of the goal line. California, with victories over St. Mary's and U.C.L.A. and a tie with Southern California, has gotten the job done with a "pee wee line" that averages 181 pounds per man with the heaviest combination of players in the game. There are only two squad members who go beyond 200 pounds and they are both substitutes. The star of the line Is Dick Madigan, a 173-poundcr, at left guard, who plays alongside John Baker, 187-pound left tackle, 1 . Just back after 17 months over seas with the navy. Center Rog er Harding, the "heavyweight at 190 pounds, is an ex-ski troop er and knows a little about momentum. Veteran Backfield The backfield is all veteran with Quarterback Jim Muir, Halfbacks George Quist and Joe Stuart, and Fullback Jed Garth waite, and all but Muir letter winners In 1943, principally be cause he was out with injuries. Coach L. B. (Stub) Allison, of fering various tricky offensive formations, including a new line shift and backfield plays run from a short punt lineup, a single wing and occasionally the "T," will be out to improve the record Saturday agninst College of Pacific in tho day's feature college game. Southern California plays St. Mary's Pre-Flight, while U. C. L. A. opposes the all-civilian youngsters of St. Mary's and both should win handily. Wash ington has another "breather" game with Whitman. HERE SATURDAY Med ford Juniors meet the Klamath Pellran Junior football team on the Meiford high school turf at 2:30 Saturday afternoon. Due to Injuries and illness on the Medford team, Coach Norman Sting was not able to give a starting lineup today. Stiff practice since their de feat at the hands of the Ashland eleven last Saturday puts the Medford Juniors In little better position to meet their opponents tomorrow afternoon. Klamath Falls team Is composed entirely of freshmen. Eighth and ninth graders make up Sting's team. Virgil Swanson will referee the game. Rokets Add Big Ex-Temple Guard Portland. Ore., Oct. 13 (U.P.) The Portland Rockets gained added strength on their forward Pencale, 208 -pound running guard, today. Pencale, an army dischargee, Is a former Temple University and American professional cir cuit league player. He'll see his first action with the Rockets on Sunday, when they play the Son Francisco Clippers In Mult nomah stadium.

Coming up on the end game played at Berkeley Memorial Stadium ended in victory for PLENTY OF BIRDS BUT FEW SHELLS ON OPENING EVE The bird season opens Satur day at sunrise and, according to state police game wardens there will be plenty of birds. In fact, they say, from personal observa tion and complaints of farmers there are more pheasants and quail than ever before. However, the feathered population is not likely to suffer any serious losses as shotgun ammunition is still very scarce. Medford hardware and sport ing goods stores report very, very few shells in stock. Most of the stores have shells ordered and epect them in before the end of October. The bag limit this year for pheasants will be four pheasants for any one day, but not more than eight such birds in seven consecutive days or in possession at any one time; not more than one hen may be in possession at any one time. For quuil, the limit is 10 birds in seven consecutive days, or in possession at any one time. License fee Is $3 for adult and $1 for Juvenile hunters with out deer tag. Soldiers arc al lowed to hunt with a S3 resident fee. Possession of a hunter's license does not authorize hunt ers to trespass, state police point out. The season on both pheas ants and quail closes November 5. Phog Allen Argues For Commissioner Over College Sport Lawrence. Kans., Oct. 13 (U.R) Dr. Forest C. (Phog) Allen, bas ketball mentor at the University of Kansas and self-styled sage of middle-western coaches, suggest ed today that colleges employ a notional high commissioner to rulo in the manner of Judge Kenesaw M. Landis In baseball to "save the decency of col legiate athletics after the war." Allen, critic of proselyting In college athletics, said that unless such nn office was created there would be a post war scandal In football , and basketball that would overshadow any similar Incident since baseball's "Black Sox" world series deal in 1019. Allen whose cage teams are practically the perennial cham pions of the Dig Six, predicted a post-war golden age of sports. "It will have to be golden." he sold. "There won't be enough silver to hire the big boys." Allen suggested that "college administrators should see to it that the office of the president of the United States should nom inate the commissioner." SAVOLD MATCHED Chicago, Oct. 13 (U.R!

Preceded by numerous head leeks on the part of Kizer, the Mask, disgruntled by too much pressure, started a game of his own which ended with Kizer on the mat. Kizer resorted to Illegal meth ods, trying to rip the cover from his unorthodox foe. Kizer knock ed the Mask from the ring, but though in groggy condition he returned and put Kizer outside the ring twice. Kizer came back with a body press to win the second fall in six minutes.
