October 29. 193S East Oregon, L-C Favored En Circuits By UNITED PRESS Lewis and Clark and Eastern Oregon today rated as odds on favorites to take clear cut titles In the Northwest and Oregon Collegiate conferences respec tively. Lewis and Clark made it six in a row this season with a 19-0 win over Whitworth of the Ever green conference in a non-counting game. Two of the Pioneer's closest rivals. Willamette and Linfield, were battling to a 12-12 stand off that hurt their respective championship aspirations.

The other league member. College of Idaho, stepped outside the con ference to lose a 7-6 decision to California Poly.

EOCE scored in the first period on a pass from De Dickson to Lowell Kolbaba, then added an insur ance touchdown in the final pe riod when Dickson went over from the one. Southern Oregon kept alive its hopes to share in the OCC title by whipping Oregon col lege 12-7. Don Korns scored both 'SOC touchdowns, the second a come-from-behind score in the third period to spark the win. Oregon Tech drubbed the Humboldt State jayvees, 39 to 7. Yanks Grab Golf Honors Mexico City U.R) The Unit ed States' third straight victory in the Americas cup tournament left little doubt that, the Yanks boast some of the world's best amateur golfers. After collecting 11V4 of 12 possible points in. Saturday's opening matches, the U.S. squad won 18 of 24 points in Sunday's concluding threesome matches for a winning total of 29 ' points. Mexico finished a surprising second with 13 points, while. Canada was third with 11. Ken Venturi, captain of the U.S. team, did not play in the concluding matches because of illness. However, Bill Campbell of Huntington, W.Va., proved an able replacement by garnering four points. John Podres Ready Now Brooklyn (U.R) Southpaw Johnny Podres, with that prec ious Navy discharge in his pocket insisted today he's "ready to pitch right now," and the Dodgers may take him at his word by putting him to work in Puerto Rico. Podres, the Dodgers, World Series hero of 1955 who was dis charged from the Navy Friday because of a back condition, was to visit the Brooklyn office to day "to find out what the score is." "I'm going to have a talk with Buzzy Bavasi, Dodger vice presi dent, and see what he wants me to do," said Podres. "I've heard some talk about them wanting me to go down to Puerto Rico to pitch." Anderson Heads Weight Lifters San Jose. Calif. (U.R) A seven-man U.S. Olympic weight lifting team heads for Melbourne next month well stocked with experience and power which in cludes two 1952 games cham pions and a mammoth discovery from Georgia. Tommy Kono of Honolulu, won the lightweight crown at Helsinki four years ago, easily qualified again for the trip Sat urday as a light heavyweight by lifting a total of 940 pounds. Peter George, a fellow titlist . from Akron, Ohio, won the right to represent the middleweight class with 855 pounds. However, most of the plaudits were re served for Paul Anderson, a 308 pounder from Toccoa, Ga., who won the heavyweight berth as expected with a combined lift of 1.115 pounds. NCAA Approves Grid Bowl Frays Kansas City. Mo. (U.R) The National Collegiate Athletic as sociation today stamped its ap proval on the Sugar Bowl, with its forced segregation law, and nine other bowls. Executive Director Walter By ers explained earlier that the forced segregation in Louisiana would have no bearing on NCAA approval, since there was noth ing in the NCAA bylaws con cerning segregation. The other post-season games approved by the NCAA were Corn Bowl. Cotton Bowl. Gator Bowl, Orange Bowl, Prairie Grants Pass-Med ford Encounter Tops Week End Gridiron Slate Reserved seat tickets for the Medford - Grants Pais High school football game at Grants Pais next Friday were all sold out this morning, the two schools reported. Four-hundred tickets, which went on lale here, were all sold by 7:10 a.m. At Grants Pass the available reserves were gone in less than one hour. Frank Thomas, Grants Pass principal, said that 1.000 gen eral admission seats, all under cover, will go one sale when the gates open at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. They are at each end of the reserve section and will be between the 10-yard lines and the goal lines. It is possible that bleachers will be set up in front of the grandstand. Grants Pass will be scene of the biggest high school football attraction in southern Oregon this Friday. The Cavemen will be hosts to the Medford Black Tornado and reportedly are intent on an un pleasant welcome. District 6 A-l championship honors rest on the outcome. Medford is preparing for what is expected to be its toughest foe of the season outside of No. 1 rated Marshfield. Ditto Grants Pass. The Tornado has a bit better record against common foes this season but sources close to the Medford squad, who have seen the Grants Pass aggregation in a number of encounters, sound the warning that the Cavemen have developed into a power ful eleven which is a severe threat to championship aspira tions of the Pear Capital con tingent. Final District Mix It will be the final district and Southern Oregon conference game for each school. Both are unbeaten in counting games. In the second ranking game in importance on Friday night, Eagle Point will entertain Hen ley. The Eagles are unbeaten in the District 6 A-2 chase and will sew up the title with a win. They are sure of a tie for the crown after their win last week end over Illinois Valley. In other action Klamath Falls plays at Ashland, Rogue River at Illinois Valley and Glendale at Phoenix in the Rogue league and Crater at Myrtle Creek. St. Mary's is waiting for word on the date of its playoff with Merrill of Klamath county for the District 5B mantle. Merrill nipped Malin 12' to 7 on Satur day for the Klamath title. St. Mary's is Jackson county B champ. Coach Millard Webb of the Medford parochial team said he hoped to have a game with another school or else a squad scrimmage this week end to keep his club in tune. MEDFORIWTRIBimE !P(0)IKT Lions Only Perfect Record Eleven After Downing Rams 16-7 By EARL WRIGHT .. United Press Sports) Writer The Detroit Lions are trying to become the first National foot ball league team to leap from last to first and don't bet too much they won't pull the trick. Detroit, which finished last in the Western division in 1955, cleared one of its stiffest hurdles Sunday and emerged as the pro circuit's only perfect record team by whipping the Rams at Los Angeles, 16-7. The victory kept the Lions (5-0) a game ahead of the Chicago Bears (4-1) who overpowered the San Francisco Forty Niners, 38-21. The Eastern race tightened as the New York Giants moved into a first place tie with the Chicago Cardinals (both 4-1). The Giants, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 20-3, while the Washington Red skins upset the Cardinals, 17-14. It was the Cardinals' first loss after sweeping four games. Cleveland Hopes Fade The Pittsburgh Steelers virt ually ended Cleveland's faint hope of keeping the Eastern title by rallying to down the Browns, 24-16. Both the Browns and the Rams, defending Western cham pions, are in last place with 1-4 records with only seven games to play. Lenny Moore, Baltimore's can didate for rookie-of-the-year hon ors, made touchdown runs of 72 and 79 yards to lead the Colts to a 28-21 triumph over the Green Bay Packers in the other game. The defensive platoons play ed vital roles in three of the key contests. Bobby Layne scored Detroit's touchdown and also booted the j extra point and two field goals. I But Yale Lary. a defensive back, was the lad who frustrated the Rams before 76,758 fans. He . set up a field goal with a 38- j yard punt return and one of his ; three pass interceptions led to the Lion touchdown Burly Rick Casares plunged for four Bears touchdowns at San Francisco, but it was little Perry Jeter who kept the Forty Niner defense in trouble. He proved one of thei most elusive bell-carriers ever seen in Kezar stadium and set up two Bear touchdowns. The Cardinals took a 14-0 lead at Chicago but the Redskins rallied on Sam Baker's field goal and Al Dorow's 34-yard scoring pass to Dick James. Dor os followed with a 40-yard toss to end Steve Meilinger for the decisive touchdown. New York's defense shackled Philadelphia's offense at Yan kee stadium. Charley Conerly threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Frank Gifford and set up Alex Webster's scoring plunge and one of Ben Agajanian's two field goals. The Browns took a 13-0 lead at Cleveland but Pittsburgh's defensive unit blocked a field goal try and intercepted two passes in the second quarter. Quarterback Ted Marchibroda took advantage of each Brownie error. He followed them with touchdown passes to Elbie Nick el and Lowell Perry and set up a scoring plunge by Lynn Chand Football SATURDAY COLLEGE SCORES Lewis and Clark 19 Whitworth 0 Willamette 12 Linfield 12 Whitman 19 Pacific 7 SOCE 12 OCE 7 Ore.
