Leads Kept
By Graham,
Alan Ameche
Philadelphia (U.R) Time
tested Otto Graham and rookie
Alan (The Horse) Ameche re
tained the No. 1 spots in passing
and rushing as the National foot
Ball league reached the one-third
point in the season.
Graham, yanked from the lux
ury of retirement when the
Cleveland Browns sputtered
during the exhibition games, had
aa9.32-yard average gain for
each pass he attempted in four
games to date. Automatic Otto
is hitting at a 61.4 percentage
with 35 completitons for 531
yards.
Ameche, fresh from the Wis
consin campus, had a 476-yard
total gained on the ground for
the Baltimore Colts, a figure
which had him 145 yards ahead
of second place Howie Ferguson
of Green Bay. Ameche piled up
72 yards last week.
Graham and Ameche clung to
the first place spots they held
one week ago, but the six games
played in varying degrees of
. weather, caused shuffles among
the runners up.
Fran Rogel of the Pittsburgh
Steelers, with 90 yards ripped
off against the Philadelphia
Eagles, rose to third place among
the rushers with 282 yards.
VagarUs Show
The vagaries of the statistics
columns were shown when Bob
by Thomason of the Eagles jump
ed into second place in passing
despite the fact the , Steelers
stopped the Eagles' air game
cold. Thomason has an 8.95 av
erage, with 44 completions for
697 yards and five scores. Ed
die LeBaron of Washington drop
ped from second to third.
Billy Howton and Gary Knaf-
elc of the surging Green Bay
Packers took over the first two
places in pass receptions. How
ton leads with 21 for 355 yards
and Knafelc is second with 18
completitions. Billy Wilson of
San Francisco is third with 16.
Defending champion Pete Pihos
of the Eagles, who had only one
catch last week end, and Harlon
Hill of the Bears tied for fourth
with 15.
. The Redskins' Vic Janowicz
held first place in scoring with
40 points. Other leaders were
Norm Van Brocklin of Los An
geles in punting with a 45.1-yard
average; Joe Heap of the Giants
in punt returns; Jerry Norton of
the . Eagles in kickoff returns,
and Willard Sherman of the
Rams in interceptions.
Staters Gird
For Cougars
Corvallis (U.R) The Oregon
State Beavers polished their of
fense today as they planned their
revenge against the Washington
State Cougars for last year's 34-6
defeat.
Coach Tommy Prothro said
tailbacks Joe Francis and Ray
Westfall were passing effectively
against the reserves during a
hard scrimmage yesterday.
Oregon State College, Corval-
lif Washington State, a grid
machine that finally has come
to life after some unexpected
early reversals, invades Parker
stadium here next Saturday aft
ernoon for a homecoming clash
against Tommy Prothro's deter
mined Oregon State Beavers.
An "old grads" throug up
wards of 15,000 is expected,
which means that thousands of
, good seats are' (till available at
all Beaver ticket agencies. Park
er stadium can accomodate
27,000 at absolute capacity. The
game will start promptly at 1:30
pjn.
Bad Start
Al Kircher's Cougars got off
to a bad start this season, losing
on successive weekends to USC,
Kansas and UCLA. They began
to click against California, and
garnered a 20-20 tie at Berkeley
before whipping an inspired Ida
ho eleven, 9-0, at Moscow last
weekend.
. The Beavers, after downing
Brigham Young and Stanford,
lost to UCLA and College of Pa
cific. Local fans are confident
that Oregon State will play its
best football against WSC, how
ever, with a home crowd looking
on. Over the - long series with
WSC dating back to 1903, the
e cougars nave emerged victorious
on 21 occasions, with Oregon
State winning 19 and tieing two.
Prothro's men came out of the
COP game in good physical con
dition and could be at top
strength for the first time since
nine men suffered injuries in the
UCLA contest. End Norm Thiel
and tackle Howard Buettgenbach
both failed to see action against
COP, but should be ready for
WSC.

Eugene (U.R) Herb Juran of
South Salem and Larry Yarnell

out for starting quarterback job

Cincinnati. Ohio (U.R)
Wallace (Bud) Smith, elated at
ending Jimmy Carter s fantastic
"on again, off again," romance
with the liehtweieht champion
ship, said today, "I guess every
body will realize I'm really tne
'champeen' now."
Although Smith was champ
ion when he entered.the ring at
the Cincinnati Garden before
6,693 hometown fans for his first
defense Wednesday night, Carter
of New York was favored at 8-5
to win back the 135- pound
crown.
But Bud's aggressive, left
hooking attack prevented the
31-year-old Carter from winning
the title for the fourth time, al
though Bud was nearly knocked
Out in the 13th round of the
thrilling, bruising 15 -round
fight.
Smith wound up with a unani
mous decision, after more than.
a half -hour of calculating and
correcting .the addition of one of
the judges.
A 'Rubber' Match
It was the third and "rubber"
match between the two Negroes
the best combination boxer
punchers in the 135-pound div
ision. Carter had won a dicision
over Bud on May 28, 1950
before Jimmy first ' became
champion.' "
Smith took the title from Car
ter on a split decision at Boston
last June 29. And he made it
definite with the unanimous ver
dict on Wednesday nighf.
- Smith won by improving on
the tactics which gave him his
upset June victory over Shuf
flin Jimmy. He want after the
hard-hitting ex- champion with
an aggressive left-hooking at
tack that prevented Carter from
forcing 'the fight. Carter want
ed Bud to back pedal and be
come a long-range target for his
booming right.
Gash Over Eye
: Bud's left hooks opened a
gash on the ex-champ's right
brow. By the close of the ninth,
the eye had swollen shut and
Jimmy was "running with only
one headlight.
But Smith took plenty of pun
ishment before he wound up
with the verdict his 32nd, in
49 fights. Carter, suffering his
20th defeat in 100 bouts, nicked
Bud's right brow in the sixth
round also, and he hurt the
champ badly with three right
smashes to the head and one
left hook to the same target in
the seventh. Smith's knees were
buckled by a right in the ninth.
He was shaken twice by upper
cuts in the 12th and he was on
the verge of a kayo in the 13th
when staggered by a left hook
and almost floored three times
by the bombardment that followed.
hills. Grant, Union, and Baker coun
ties will be fair. Best of luck will be
in the Keating. Richland, and Halfway
areas. Valley quail should be very
good in Grant and Umatilla counties.
Hungarian partridge hunting will be
good in Umatilla county. Waterfowl
hunting will be fair to poor except
for decoy hunting in several of the
choicest spots. Goose shooting will
be poor. There are some geese on the
Snake river.
SOUTHEAST: Summer lake manage
area estimates 125,000 geese monthly
snows, 20,000 ducks, and nearly 1500
honkers in the area. Prospects for
hunting are fair to good if weather
remains clear and good to excellent
if stormy weather prevails. Pheasant
hunting will be very good the first
week end. Pheasant hunting in Lake
county will be poor. Harney county
fair. Waterfowl hunting in Harney
county poor. Malheur poor for both
pheasants and waterfowl.
Irish Given
Slim Odds
Over Purdue
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Notre Dame's still - aching
Irish collide Saturday with a
fellow who whipped them pret
ty soundly last year pass
pitchin' Lenny Dawson of Pur
due and that's why the odds-
makers figure Notre Dame will
be the only team in the nation's
top 10 to have trouble on the
gridiron this week.
Dawson, the nation's top
touchdown passer of 1954, toss
ed four scoring passes last year
as Purdue upset Notre Dame,
27-14. The Irish went on an un
beaten streak after that game
that ended only last week when
they were upset by Michigan
State, 21-7.
Now the "wizards of odds"
make Notre Dame a seven-point
favorite over Purdue. Every oth
er team in the "top 10" is favor
ed by at least 13 points.
The contrast to the problems
facing the lOth-ranked Irish,
Michigan's top ranked Wolver
ines are expected to beat Minne
sota this Saturday by 13 points
in the annual "Little Brown jug"
classic at Minneapolis, a game
that will be regionally televised
in the Midwest.
Maryland Strong Favorite
Second-ranked Maryland and
third - ranked Oklahoma are
even stronger favorites at 15
points. Maryland will face Syra
cuse, the team that upset Army
by 13-0 last week. Oklahoma
will meet Colorado in perhaps
its most important game of the
Big Seven conference season.
Fourth - ranked Navy, boast
ing the nation's top ground-gain
er in passing ace George Welsh,
is picked by a thundering 32
points over Pennsylvania.
Fifth-ranked UCLA is a 13-
point favorite over Iowa in a
a big intersectional game that
highlights the Friday night pro
gram. Sixth-ranked Michigan
States is favored by 13 over
Illinois in a Big Ten clash. Sev
enth-ranked Duke is picked by
the odd sum of eight points over
Pittsburgh.
' Eighth-ranked Auburn, rid
ing high after a win over Georg
ia Tech., is such a prohibitive
choice over Furman that no
points are quoted. Ninth -ranked
Southern California is favored
by 20 points in its Pacific Coast
conference clash with Califor
nia.
Televised
The Southern Cal - California
clash will be regionally -televised
in the Midwest. In games that
will be televised in the East,
Princeton and Cornell are rated
down even money and Harvard
is a six-point choice over Dart
mouth. . '
The college- football "week
end" gets an early, start Thurs
day with the annual. '.. "Big
Thursday" clash of Clemson and
South Carolina at- Columbia,
S.C. Clemson is favored by six.
, On Friday night, in addition
to the UCLA-Iowa struggle, Mi
ami (Fla.), is picked by four over
Texas Christian and Oklahoma
A&M by one over Detroit.
In other Saturday games:
Intersectional: Tulsa seven over Cin
cinnati; Missouri seven -over-Arkansas:
