Showdown Week End On College Gridirons By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Clemson risks its Orange Bowl h1;s in that very arena tonight whr-.ii it tangles with an aroused L'niversity of Miami team, anx ious to take out its own bowl irustration on somebody a big game touching cff a big show down week end in college loot ball. . By the time the last goalpost is torn down Saturday evening, the battle lines could be pretty clearly drawn forthe Rose, Sug ar and Orange Bowl games but the Gotten Bowl setup undoubt edly must wait another week. Right now Clereison figures to get an Orange Bowl berth for sure if it beats Miami, and prob ably still would get it if Miami won In a close game. But a Clemson debacle against the unbeaten and angry Hurri : canes whose bowl hopes were wiped out when the NCAA maintained that their suspension could make the bowl promoters mighty unhappy about having the Tigers back again on New Year's day. Clemson is expected to finish atop the Atlantic Coast conference, but that loop ballots for its ' "most representative" team as its bowl nominee and might be induced to switch to another team in this case, with indications pointing to Duke. Colorade Orange Bowl Pick Colorado is virtually certain to represent the Biff Seven in the Orange Bowl, unless Missouri stages, the upset of the decade Saturday and beats national champion Oklahoma. Both end of the Rose Bowl could be clinched Saturday, but the odds-men don't think it will happen. They figure Oregon State- will clinch the Pacific Coast conference berth by clob t bering Idaho, but Iowa, which can clinch the Big Ten berth by 5 beating Ohio State, is a six-point underdog. Tennessee reportedly has the Sugar Bowl sewed up since its 6-0 thriller over Georgia Tech last week, but nobody's saying anything yet because ruggea Mississippi meets the Vols Satur , day. The Rebels are seven point underdogs but, led by slamming Key Tilts Billed In NW Circuit By UNITED PRESS Lewis and Clark meets Paci ; fic Saturday night at Forest Grove in an all'- important Northwest Conference football game. ;,: If Lewis and Clark wins 'it tnkcas the Northwest conference title. But a defeat would give Coach Joe Huston's Pioneers two losses and leave, the cham pionship to Linfield and possibly Whitman. Whitman plays host to Col lege of Idaho while Linfield meets Southern Oregon at'Mc Minnville in a non-conference game. Lewis and Clark, Whitman and Linfield each have lost one game but Whitman qnd Linfield also have been tied. Last season .-Hcific upset Lewis and Clark 7-6 and as a re-. : Hit the Pioneers had to settle for a conference tie with Col lege of Idaho. Oregon Tech meets Centralis Junior College at Centralia in a non-counting game. Vic Backlund, Willamette end from Bandon, was named player of the week, in the Northwest look for his play agains-t Whitman last weekend fullback Paige Cothren, have the potential for an upset. Geor gia Tech and Duke are among those reported under considera tion for the other berth, but strong Northern and Western teams are not contenders this year because of the segregation issue. Picture Foggy At the same time the NCAA kept Miami under suspension, it did the same thing to Texas A&M and that's why the Cotton BOwl picture is foggy. The Ag gies seem sure to win the South west conference title but at least five teams are in the running for the No. 2 spot and the bowl berth. Texas Christian and SMU, each 2-1 in the league, are the leaders now. The other berth is wide open with Army, Navy, Syracuse, Wyoming, Georgia Tech, and Duke among those mentioned in speculation. Trying to crash this big bowl set up and figuring they've got a good chance this year, are the promoters of the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. They're defi nitely after Tennessee as one team, promising higher "take home pay" than the Sugar Bowl, and could give the other berth to a top Eastern team like Syra cuse, Pittsburgh, or Penn State, that wouldn't go to the Sugar Bowl. EAGLE POINT, PLEASANT HILL IN A-2 PLAY-OFF ON SATURDAY Eagle Point The Eagle Point high Eagles went through just a light practice today as Coach Stan Smith gave their final grooming for their first venture into Oregon A-2 quarter-final football play-offs. They meet the Pleasant Hill Hillbillies here Saturday nieht Yanks, Russians Agree To Meet Melbourne (U.R) The United States and Russia toflay agreed to home and home track meets at Moscow in 1957 and in the United States in 1958. The agreement was reached at a morning meeting of eight U. S. officials headed by AAU secre tary Daniel J. Ferris and a group of Russian officials. No Fingerprints "It all depends on whether the State Department rescinds the alien fingerprint law be cause the Russians won't stand for their visiting athletes to be fingerprinted," said Ferris. "But we had previous assurances from the State Department that the law is to be rescinded." Konstantin Kroupin, president of the Soviet Athletic union, broached the idea verbally and said it will be confirmed later with a written agreement. FRANCHISE TALKS Des Moines, Iowa U.R) American association president Ed ' Doherty today planned a meeting with promoters interest ed in obtaining the Louisville Colonels' franchise, which now seems' -almost certain to leave the Ohio, river city. Doherty met with Des Moines promoters Thursday night but said two other cities also were "interest ed in getting into the league." Salt Lake City, Utah; Knox ville, Term.; and Winnipeg, Can ada have ben mentioned in con nection with the Colonels. RELIEVED Melbourne (U.R) ' Gunnar Ahsman, six foot, one inch Swed ish heavyweight in the Olympics, was relieved today to discover that Russia's seven-foot, two Inch Yanis Kruminsh was a bas ketball player. "I though he was a heavyweight fighter," Ahsman said. ."I couldn't sleep all night." NO FORT WAYNE GOLF Fort Wayne. Ind.

Of the 355 points scored by the Eagles this season, Greb has collected 155. In the nine-game regular season the halfback packed the ball for 1.243 yards, better than 10 per carry.

Game time is 8 p.m. In addition to the light drill on the practice field, Smith con ducted a chalk talk and showed movies of last week's District 6 title game with Glide. Defense got much attention Thursday as the Eagles fortified to meet the "Billy "running pass" at tack. Eagle Point again will call upon halfback Jack Greb for its main offensive hopes. He'll have support in ball lugging from big fullback Norm Hooper and smaller halfback Jim Duncan. And the Eagles aim to be consis tent with their defensive record which has allowed foes only 50 counters this fall. Ward Sidelined Pleasant Hill is expected to rely much of the way on the field generating of quarterback Ken Lockman and his running and passing along with the ball packing of halfbacks. Jack De vereau and Chuck Brummel and fullback Larry Tentinger. Lock man reportedly is taking over the regular chores of Ken Ward, four-year letterman, who has a slight shoulder separation. Ward has been regarded all season as the "heart of the Billy offense." What service he may see Saturday is not known. It may be only in the closing min utes if the game is close and his clutch play is needed. Eagle Point will have the ad vantage in overall weight in both the line and the backfield. The EP line averages around 175 pounds per man while the Billy figure is 163. A trio of light but scrappy players in the middle brings down the Pleas ant Hill average. Eagle backs average 160 pounds with Hooper at 190 and Greb at 170 the heaviest. The Billies range beteen 152 and 154 with Deveraux tops at 164. Nelson Out Hopes that regular tackle Ron Nelson would see some action for Eagle Point Saturday were dashed Wednesday night when he rehurt his knee. Probable starters for the Eagles are Wayne Christian (200) and Gary Kaiser (160), ends; Dean Tibbits (185), and Roger Hooper (170) or Roy Rea gan (180), tackles; Jim Bunker (200) and Mike Kaiser (165), guards; Larry Dodenhoff (150), center; Doug Chamberlain (140), quarterback; Jack Greb (170), left halfback; Jim Duncan (140) right halfback, and Norm Hooper (190) fullback. For Pleasant Hill the line-up may be Ancel Leister (161) and Jerry Wilson (160), ends; Jerry Olson (218) and Ken Crawford (170), tackles; Wayne Hammers ly (145) and LeRoy Powell (142), guards; Milt Kintzley (144) , center; Ken Lockman (145) , quarter; Jack Deveraux (164), left half; Chuck Brummel (150), right half, and Larry Ten tinger (150), fullback. Industry Sets Production Mark Washington (U.R) The na tion's industry set a production record in September and Octo ber, and shows signs of breaking the new record this month. September and October pro duction climbed to 145 on the Federal Reserve Board's index, which uses average production for the years 1947-49 as a com parison basis of 100. This means production in those months was 45 per cent higher than the 1947 49 average. The previous rec ord was 144 last December. The board reported Thursday that rising steel and auto out put were large contributors to the general production increase of the past two months. It said assemblies of 1957 model cars rose sharply in early November. Steel production this month was close to the record volume in October. The only major area of in dustrial activity which fell off in October was construction ma terials and that fell only slight ly. Lumber production has been sliding since August.
