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

match between undefeated
teams.
Southern California, potential

to win from St. Mary's Pre-flight
and in the top southwestern
game, Texas and Oklahoma are
rated the same. Utah and Colo

Rockies with Iowa State and
Kansas "no choice" In the odds

Yale is 3 to 2 over Columbia

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.
BOWLING
Rolling Pin took three from
Henry's Drive In In the Ladies
Bowling League Wednesday

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."

Preceded by numerous head

Kizer resorted to Illegal meth

though in groggy condition he
returned and put Kizer outside
