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.

departments.
Soeners Best Rushers
Oklahoma leads the rushing
averages w4th 316.4 yards gained
per game. To that, the Sooners
have been able to add only 80
yards per game passing.

provide the odd note in this
week's standings. The future gen

per game on the ground, an av

HOCKEY
By UNITED PRESS
Al Rollins, the nimble young
net-minder of the Chicago Black
Hawks, was the man chiefly re
sponsible today for the big bot
tleneck around second place in
the National Hockey league.
Rollins made 33 saves in lead
ing the Hawks to a 2-0 victory
over the Boston Bruins at St.
Louis on Tuesday night in the
first place of four which Chicago
will play at a "foreign" home
this season.
Rollins' brilliant performance
in the nets moved Chicago into a
second place tie with Boston and
the New York Rangers.
A crowd of 5,668, who wit
nessed the only NHL game
scheduled, as Hank Ciesla put
the Hawks in front at 9:28 of 'the
second period after he teamed up
with Hec Lelande in a two-man
foray. The rookie pair moved
the puck down ice and Ciesla
beat goalie Terry Sawchuk for
the only goal the Hawks really
needed. Ben Woit also collected
an assist on the play:
Johnny Wilson added an in
surance marker at 16:47 of the

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.
