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

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

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.

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

nection with the Colonels.

in one of the round-of-eight
clashes among the state's "mid
dle class" schools. 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.
