Grouse Hunting Better Than 1954 Portland Hunter success during the blue and ruffed grouse season was somewhat better than in 1954 on a state wide basis according to informa tion compiled by the Oregon Game Commission. The average number of birds per hunter was 0.97 as compared to 0.88 birds in 1954. Highest success was recorded in Wallowa, Morrow, and Grant counties and the north coast area. Baker county experienced the poorest grouse season in sev eral years. . Success was . good in Umatilla county but hunting pressure was very light. In western Oregon, hunters were few in number and hunt ing territory limited by both locked gates and muddy roads. Those who had access to the higher areas in . the Willamette valley had generally good suc cess, while hunting at the lower elevations was poor. A check on age ratios of blue grouse showed an. average of 61 per cent juvenile birds. High est kill of juvenile birds was re corded in Umatilla, and Grant counties where .77 per cent of the grouse taken were birds of the year. Only 50 per cent of the birds killed in Baker county and 44 per cent in Malheur county were young birds indi cating a poor nesting season in these areas.

West Vir ginia, the nation's top passing team, and Oklahoma, the leading rushing team, grabbed most of the offense honors today in the weekly college football statistics issued by the NCAA.

The future gen erals have gained 292.0 yards per game on the ground, an av erage topped only by Oklahoma. But they rank absolutely last in Junior High Teams Play SEVENTH GRADE STANDINGS: W. L. Pet.

Frays will be contested simultaneously on the senior high practice field.

COMPANY LOUISVILLE 1; KENTUCKY Navy Is Only Rated Underdog Saturday By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Navy's "Team Named Desire" is burning to beat Notre Dame for the first time since 1944, but the cold calculating oddsmakers don't think they will do it. ' The men who make the odds along Broadway ignored Navy's passion for revenge, its better record, and its higher national ranking and announced that Notre Dame is favored by six points for this Saturday's big gridiron clash on the Irish home field at South Bend, Ind. . Navy will go into this long awaited fray with a perfect rec ord in five games; Notre Dame has four victories and one loss, to Michigan State. What's more, the Midshipmen currently are rated the No. 4 team nationally, while Notre Dame is ranked No. 7. Navy is ihe only team ranked among the nation's "top ten" that will be an underdog this Satur day. Michigan Needs Victory ' Michigan, the nation's No.. 1 team, finds itself only an eight point favorite against Big Ten rival Iowa in the nationally-televised game of the week. Michi gan, finding its lead in the na tional rankings reduced near the vanishing point,, badly needs an impressive victory to hang onto the No. 1 ranking. Michigan's chief rivais, Mary land and Oklahoma, are ex pected to win easily to keep the pressure on Michigan. Maryland is a 27-point pick to score its 12Vn straight victory at the ex pense of South Carolina. Okla homa is favored by the same margin to gain its 25th straight victory, longest streak in the nation, against Kansas State. Here's how the oddsmakers figure the other top - ranked teams: UCLA (No. 5) the week's most lopsided favorite, 35 points over California; Michigan State (No. 6) by only three over Wisconsin; Auburn (No. 8) 13 points over Tulane; Southern California (also No. 8) 13 points over Minnesota in a top intersectional game; and Texas A&M (No. 10) seven points over Arkansas in its important Southwest Conference struggle at Fayetteville, Ark.

(U,R) A nationwide television audience will get a look at Michigan, the nation's top-ranking college foot ball team, when the Wolverines go after their sixth straight vic tory against upset-minded Iowa Saturday at Michigan Stadium. But it's likely that the most publicized player on each team end Ron Kramer of Michigan and guard Calvin Jones of Iowa will be watching from the sidelines. Kramer, a towering junior who was named on the United Press All-America third team last season, has missed Michi gan's last two starts with a bruised chest while Jones, cap tain of the Hawkeyes and an All American guard last fall, has been hampered by a knee injury.
