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.

' Southern Oregon college team
grabbed itself a share of the
Oregon Collegiate conference
title by upsetting Oregon col
lege 13-6 at Ashland Saturday
night.
Sharing the crown with the
Red Raiders were the OCE
Wolves, and Eastern Oregon,
which copped a one-point vic
tory over SOCE earlier in the
season.
Both SOCE touchdowns came
on passes from Bill Seymour.
The first, in the first quarter,
went to Chuck Crandell and was
good for 29 yards. Ted Tenney
grabbed the other Seymour TD
pass in the second period for
about 30 yards.
The Wolves scored midway
through the third quarter on a
53-yard march. Wyman Genhart
slammed through left gaurd
from seven yards out for the
touchdown.

Southern Oregon utilized
wide open play including Sey

Removal of the steel pin,

advised by doctors that the pin
should be removed before Feb.

The pin was put into the col

1954 and broke his collarbone.
He still came back to hit .345..

Last season, personal difficulties

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-

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

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!
