The Crusaders go to Rogue River Friday night. The Medford team needs the victory for a clean cut third con ference championship in row a well as for an unbeaten sea on in the league. Rogue River is out of the race but could prove a spoiler, knocking St. Mary'i kack jnto a lle wjth Talent, which the Crusaders tripped last week. Passing hasn't been the whole of the SM attack this year hut Colch Millard Webb pointed out that 63 per cent of the passes quarterback Ron Pruitt has thrown this fall have been com pleted. Webb said the club was working on the receiving end in order to make the aerials go when needed. Spirit At Best Web said that Crusader spirit is the best its been this year and added that St. Mary's is always "up" for Rogue River. At Rogue River coach Tinker Hatfield said he had a problem of building up Chieftain morale. He reported that the Chiefs will aim to stop or slow the fast SM backs. The running of Fred Bond in the Chief backfield has helped in practice. He has been sidelined from drills by a shoulder hurt. Also on the bruised list are guards Bill Dixon and Richard Olympius. Fnssible starters for SM are JacK Daley and Jerry Flakus or Eickie Cooper, ends; Alson Ceren and Francis Murphy, tackles; Dave Crevier and Dave Goodman, guards; Jim Miller, center, and Pruitt, Dick Hayes, Dave Espey and Jim Darland, backs.

Race Suspension Costly to Arcaro Lexington, Ky. W.Pi Eddie Arcaro, racing's riding million aire, figures the suspension handed out by the Kenneland stewards "cost" him $17,000 plus. Arcaro, set down for careless riding in the Spinster Stakes at Kenneland last Friday, was all set to ride the Wheatley Stable's Bold Ruler in the $300,000 Gar den State Stakes at Camden, N.J., Saturday. With 15 or more starters in the Garden State, the winner will take down $170,000 plus. If Arcaro had the mount on Bold Ruler, he figures the ride would 6e worth 10 per cent of the win ning total, provided the Wheat ley colt reached the wire first. Arcaro appealed the suspen sion and Leslie Combs II, chair man of the Kentucky Racing commission arranged a second meeting. With th full member ship on hand ,'odnesday. the commission voted to uphold the Kenneland stewards.
