LITTRELL PARTS Hopper Resigns As Skipper Of Portland Beaver Club Portland U.R) General Man ager Joe Ziegler said today a successor to Clay Hopper as manager of the Portland Beavers probably would be named late this week. Hopper resigned as manager of the Pacific Coast League team late yesterday in a telephone conversation with Ziegler. The Bevo general manager revealed that Hopper's resignation was submitted to him in October but that he held it in abeyance until yesterday. Hopper came to Portland in 1952 after managing Montreal in the International League.

Ziegler said he had contacted several "likely candidates" for a successor to Hopper but that nothing definite had been de cided upon. In a prepared statement, Zieg ler said that "after many confer ences by telephone and serious consideration of the Portland baseball club's future plans, Hopper and I agreed that the mu tual interests of the club and Clay can best be served by ac cepting his resignation - as manager." This Week Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, is picked by 14 points over Clem- son. But West Virginia is given the nod by only three points over three-times-beaten Pittsburgh. It is a case of the oddsmakers be lieving that lightning can strike twice in the same place. Last year Pitt knocked West Virginia from the unbeaten ranks in a 13 10 thriller. Seeking Bowl Berth But West Virginia, the nation's highest-scoring and greatest ground- - gaining major team, will be trying to do more than "simply" win this clash at Pitts burgh. The Mountaineers, who would like to be higher in the national rankings than a share of the No. 10 spot as they bid for a bowl berth, are anxious to beat the Panthers by more than the 26-14 score posted by Okla homa.' The 35-point margin quoted on Oklahoma as it shoots for its 27th straight victory is the larg est listed for this week's games. But all of the other teams in the "top 11" in this weeks games also were favored. Michigan State No. 3 is pick ed by 21 points as it winds up its Big Ten season against Minneso ta. Victory would give the Spar tans a 5-1 league record and keep them hot in the running for the Rose Bowl berth. Mich igan No. 6, which must win both of its remaining Big Ten games to finish with a 6-1 mark that would guarantee beating out State, is favored by 13 points over Indiana. OSU One-TD Favorita UCLA, No. 4, is a solid 28 point choice as it faces Washing ton in another stride toward the Rose Bowl as Pacific Coast con ference representative." Texas Christian, No. 7, is favored by seven to beat Texas and en hance its Cotton Bowl hopes. Texas A&M No. 9, the South west Conference leader which is under probation that would bar it from the Cotton Bowl, also is picked by seven to de fend its league lead by beating Rice. Steadily-climbing Notre Dame No. 5 is a heavy 28-point choice as it visit North Carolina, and Georgia Tech No. 8 is picked by 21 in its Southeastern Confer ence meeting with Alabama. In the only major game Fri day night, Detroit is an 11-point favorite over Villanova. HARVARD BILLS TUFTS Cambridge, Mass.

(U.R) Hal Wood still is in hiding from, the effigy hangers after last week's disastrous pigskin-picking bout and he asked me to fill in for him. He sneaked in here at the Dunes the other night and of fered me a sure-thing job making this week's gridiron selections, which he guaranteed would be much easier than trying to beat the dice tables and the "21" games. If the job is so easy, how come he picked Washington to beat California and Southern Calif ornia to trim Stanford last week? Shucks, we had eight kids in our family and you had to be a good football player to survive. We had more fights than the Ram-Forty Niner game. But we had the best referee in the world my mother. She never lost an argument with us. ' If we dis agreed, she banged our heads to gether without helmets. Compared with some of the arguments we used to have at home, this week's schedule looks easier than trying to grab the last meatball off the platter at dinner time: UCLA over Washington: My mother wouldn't let the kids in our family play football. . She was afraid we would get hurt and grow up to be idiots. We did anyway. Grow up, that is. Oregon Underdog Stanford over Oregon: One time I told my father that I won a foot race. He wanted to know who was chasing me. He couldn't believe that anyone would run unless being chased. He thought the cops were after me. Oregon State over California: When I was teaching school, any body who didn't get at least 60, we flunked. If these two teams dont' score at least 60 points, I wouldn't let them play next year. San Jose State over Washing ton State: What's with all this "state" business? I don't know too much about the game of foot ball, but it must refer to the state of shock the Washington State players are in after losing all those games. Also: Idaho over B r i g h a m Young, Whittier over Los Ange- 1 e s State. Pomona-Clairmont over Laverne, Santa Barbara ever Redlands, Fresno State over Cal Poly, San Francisco State over Sacramento , State, Humboldt State over Nevada, Chico State over Cal Aggies: Arizona over Montana, Texas Western over Arizona Tempe State, Willamette over Linfield Lewis & Clark over Pacific, Col lege of Idaho over Whitman and Whitworth over Eastern Wash ington. Steelhead Luck Should Improve Portland (U.R) The week ly report on fishing conditions prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest Striped bass ang ling in Isthmus slough has been fair to 'good with bullheads and pilchard best bait. An occasion al steelhead is being picked up on eggs in the west fork the Millicoma river. Steelhead fishing on Rogue river should improve. Good angling will be found in the Hellsgate to Galice area as a fresh run of fish moves up out of the canyon. Salmon and jack angling in Tenmile lakes is fair to good An occasional steelhead is being taken in the Sawyer rapids area of the lower Umpqua river, and angling is expected to improve with clearing water. Few win ter steelhead have reached the upper Umpqua area, and angling is poor. The season for all salmon 20 inches and over in length is closed in all waters above high way 38 bridge at Scottsburg.

Least Hurt Pro Teams Doing Best United Press Sports Writer The most important question you can ask a National Football League coach after a game is: How many of your players were badly hurt. The 1953 and 1954 squad lists kept by NFL headquarters show that the most successful teams in those years generally were those which suffered the least injuries. Last season, the Cleveland Browns won the Eastern Divis ion and league championships. Twenty:six Brownies appeared in all of the team's 12 regular season games and four others appeared in all except one. None of the other 11 clubs had so many members of their 33-man squads play in so many games. In 1954 Detroit Lions, a team three-deep in talent, won the Western Division crown with 21 men appearing in 12 games and eight others playing in all but one. The second-place Chi cago Bears had 26 men who played in. all their games and one who appeared in 11. , Green Bay, however, wound up fifth in the Western race last year although it also had 26 men who played in every game and one who took part in 11. The teams which suffered least from injuries also were most successful in 1953. Detroit won the Western Division and league titles with 21 players ap pearing in 12 games and seven nlaying in all but one. Cleve land won the Eastern race with 25 men who played in 12 games and three who appeared in 11. The Philadelphia Eagles finished second to Cleveland with the same figures. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco Forty-Niners were also-rans in 1953 and 1954 al though both squads were loaded with talent. Both also were hit heavily by injuries. The record shows that Coach Paul Brown's Cleveland team has had more men appear in 11 or more games than any other NFL club during the past two seasons. The loss of a star because of an injury may play an import ant part in Sunday's "big" game between the Rams and Bears at Chicago. The Rams, leading the Western race by one game, may play without end Bob. Boyd, a top pass receiver and probably the league's fastest man who is nursing a leg injury. The Bears (4-3) are picked to defeat the Rams (5-2). Sunday's other selections with season records in parenthesis: Eagles (2-4-1) over Browns (6-1) at Philadelphia; Giants (2-5) over Colts (4-3) at New York; Steelers (4-3) over Lions (1-6) at Pittsburgh; Packers (3-4) over Cardinals at Green Bay; Forty Niners (3-4) over Redskins (4-3) at Washington. Stater Passing Attack Crippled Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) In juries and sickness are serious ly crippling work on the Ore gon State passing attack that Coach Tommy Prothro hopes to use against the California Gold en Bears. Tailback Joe Francis, top Bea ver flinger and one of the coast's total offense leaders, was still sidelined with a painful shoul der injury that has responded very slowly to treatment. Ray Westfall, returned to the prac tice field yesterday still weak from a bout with the flu. PHILLIES SLATE TOLD Philadelphia (U.R) The Philadelphia Phillies will not play any weekday afternoon games next season and have scheduled only 12 single day games for Saturday and Sunday. Nine double-headers are listed for Sundays and the Memorial and Labor Day holidays with the remaining 47 games all to be played after dark. Thursday, November 10. 19S5 John Saxton Gets Verdict Over Jones By SCOTT BAILLIE Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Are the wraps off Johnny Saxton at last or does the former world welterweight champion fight better when outweighed by 10 pounds? Sharp-eyed Johnny, who has drawn many a Bronx cheer in previous ring efforts, put on a masterful display of combination punching and aggressiveness Wednesday night here while unanimously . outpointing fa vored Ralph (Tiger) Jones in a nationally televised 10-round bout at the Oakland Auditorium. Everything seemed stacked against Saxton at fight time. He not only was outweighed 158V2 to 148V2 but was a 7-5 underdog to Jones, who nearly wrecked Ray Robinson's comeback. The word also was out that Saxton might not get another crack at the 147-pound crown if he lost, although he was in line to meet the winner of next month's Tony Demarco-Carmen Basilio title bout. But the odds crumbled along with Jones' defenses after round one started as Saxton scored al most at will with one-twos . to the face mixed with eye-catching ;'right-left-rights" to the same place. Jones' best round was the eighth when he tore into Sax ton after taking a solid right upper cut to the jaw and smashed over a hard right to the same place followed by a left. Referee Fred Apostoli voted the fight to Saxton 56V2 to 53y2, Judge Jack Downey 57-53, Judge Eddie James 56-54 and the United Press 58-52. "Meet the new Saxton," Man ager "Frank (Blinky) Palermo rasped afterwards in the dressing room. "He told me before the bout that he's going to be a real fighter from now on. Okay, HOCKEY By UNITED PRESS Rookie Jean Guy Gendron, a Canadian from Montreal who escaped the clutches of the Montreal Canadiens, came back to haunt his one-time heroes on Wednesday night in the only National Hockey League action.
