Newspaper Page Texto Terps Need Only Official Say-So for Orange Berth; Other Bowls Not Settled By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The prospect of a "national championship" clash between Maryland and Oklahoma danced before the eyes of delighted Orange Bowl promoters today, but Rose, Sugar, and Cotton bowl officials must wait a few more days to learn their lineups. Maryland, the nation's No. 2 team, now needs only the official Atlantic Coast Conference vote to put it in the Orange Bowl as a result of Saturday's come back 25-12 victory over Clem- son. What's more, the Terrapins and Oklahoma were left as the only major unbeaten, untied teams in the nation when West Virginia only other claimant to that record was dealt a jarring 26-7 loss by Pittsburgh in Saturday's most important up set. Oklahoma and Maryland are heavily favored to wind up their regular seasons unbeaten this Saturday, the Sooners over Ne braska in a battle for the Big Seven championship and Mary land over. George Washington. Guessing Game But here's how the "guessing game" on the qther major bowls is going: Rose Bowl Big Ten: It's either Michigan State or Michi- gan, and this Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan game will decide it. Michigan State finished its league season with a 5-1 mark by drubbing Minnesota, 42-14. Michigan, which trounced In diana, also is 5-1 now with this one extra game to play. Pacific Coast Conference Either UCLA or Oregon State. ULCLA can clinch by beating Southern California this Satur- day in its final game. But a Uclan loss would give Oregon State a chance to finish with a slightly better league mark 6-1 to 5-1 by beating Oregon. That would turn the official league vote into a puzzle, since UCLA beat Oregon State, 38-0 early in the season. Sugar Bowl Host team from Southeastern Conference won't be known until Nov. 26 when league-leading Mississippi can clinch by beating Mississippi State. loss by Ole Miss could open t 'e door to one or four other teams Auburn, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, or Vanderbilt. Visiting team by invitation: Wide-open, with West Virginia apparently out as a result of the Pitt upset. . Cotton Bowl Host team from Southwest Conference: Either Texas Christian or Texas, and TCU got the inside track by crushing Texas, 47-20. Texas Christian must lose both remain ing games vs. Rice and SMU for Texas to have a chance. Visiting team by invitation: Report is strong that Navy will be offered the bid if it beats Army, Nov. 26. Last Full Saturday The coming week end includes the last full Saturday of the col lege football season. On tap are a number of "traditional rival games topped by that Ivy-cov ered classic, Yale vs. Harvard. Theres more than tradition at stake in the Yale-Harvard tussel this year, for it will help decide the Ivy League title Princeton seized first place by upsetting Yale, 13-0, and winds up this week against Dartmouth, In other league races: Skyline Colorado A&M can clinch at least a tie for title by beating Brigham Young Saturday, but bids by Wyoming and Utah won't be settled until Thanksgiving Day: Missouri Valley Tulsa's meetings with Detroit Saturday and Wichita on Thanksgiving will decide three-way battle among those teams; Border won't be settled until next week; Arizona (Tempe) St. now leads with 3-0-0 mark. Oregon Staters Prep for Ducks Corvallis (U.R) Oregon State's Beavers, victors over two California schools in the same season for the first time since the 1941 Rose Bowl team, began preparing today for the 59th meeting with Oregon Saturday. Coach Tommy Prothro's men cinched at least second place in the conference by dumping California 16-14 Saturday. OSC could finish on top percentage wise by beating Oregon, should UCLA lose to Southern Cal. But a 38-0 loss to UCLA earlier in the" season would hurt Beaver Rose Bowl chances. 1A II Tl TTP "ESTT n-r Sfi Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York-U.PJ If Ted Wil liams decides to play baseball next season, he has confided to friends, he will undergo an op eration in January for removal of the 10-inch steel pin he has carried in his left collarbone for almost two years.

Removal of the steel pin, which is the size of a lead pen cil, would entail three days in the hospital. Williams has been advised by doctors that the pin should be removed before Feb. 1 if he intends to play again. The pin was put into the col larbone after Williams fell on the first day of spring training in 1954 and broke his collarbone. He still came back to hit .345.. lacking enough times at bat to win the batting championship. Last season, personal difficulties delayed his return and he again played too few games to win the championship although he had a leading .356.

SpIfe JIM STEVENS 5F Something's Got To Give . . . Our schools in many areas are already unsafe from over crowding. This condition will grow worse year by year for another 50 years, with a rapid ly increasing school population. More schools must be built to give safe and healthful school life. For a lot of reasons be side the ones cited, school archi tects and directors are turning to wood to the one-story school of wood construction. Yes, sir, nowadays the logger is falling trees for teacher. School building supply has be come an important department of the lumber business. Most places the monument school of yesterday is following the buggy out. For many years prior to 1933 the style in school buildings, large or small, ran to that of the monument. This meant, the tall er the building the better, no matter how low in cost was the building site or how much more cheap land was available around it. Non-wood materials were spe cified on the monument type school in most cases, despite the great additional cost. The rea son was the desire to build a school that would last forever and to provide safety for life. We Live and Learn ... The monument school was one of those jokes we humans play on ourselves so often by squat ting in the easy chair of wish ful thinking instead, of hustling out and digging for the facts. Now we know that some of the rnost tragic disasters from fire have happened in tall buildings that were termed "fireproof." It's the contents that burn in the first place and the smoke that kills. In schools, the simple safe answer is a one-story struc ture spread out on lots of land, with quick, easy exists to the ground outside at the first whiff of smoke. A structure of wood. It can last 300 years, easily. But why should it? And now we know that wood frame construction is the best where shocks from earthquakes, tornados or floods may be de- CRITIC DIES New York (U.R) Bernard De Voto, historian and outspoken critic of the American social scene, died last night of a heart attack. Grove Td.. Medford. and Florence May Russell. 34. of 1084 Oak Grove rd.. Medford, structive. The terrific Long Beach earthquake of 1933 knocked non-wood schools, es pecially the tall ones, all to pieces in a number of cases. The great luck there was the hour of the earthquake, in the early morning, while the schools were empty. , No wood school fell. The big joke on us is that now we are having to tear down so many of the monument schools built 50 or more years ago be cause, while they might last for ever, they are now considered unsafe for children. Today's Better Schools ....... . . Now from the north window of my bopm-pond shack J, view the pleasing prospect of a new school under construction. It is wonderful contrast with the nearby Oddfellows Hall, which was built in 1888 on a Colonial design and with two tall stories despite all the idle' land around it. The Oddfellows Hall is a hand some sight today, so white against the blue of the sky -and the green of the reforested hills. Its classic lines . are from . the ancient Greek architects. No building in town has stood up better from the wear and tear of time. There's no reason why the Hall shouldn't be "standing up as well 300 years from now, if kept up. There's a Balzac novel on the shelf above my bench. It is "Eu genie Grandet," and was written over 100 years ago. In it the great Frenchman tells of a sec tion of an old town in this style: "This is the oldest part of town, the ramparts rise immed iately above it. The houses of the quarter have stood for three centuries; and albeit they are built of wood, they are strong and sound yet ..." What he says in the book and what I see in the old Hall per tain to today's better schools. Always good that's wood!
