Four of the nation's six re
gaining unbeaten and untied
major powers will face tough,
once-beaten o p p o n ents next
Saturday when the final push
ior lucrative bowl bids begins,
in earnest.
Oklahoma, its national crown
dropping a bit to the port side
after Saturday's 14-13 squeaker
with Colorado, should have re
latively easy pickings with Kan
sas State 2-3-1 and Auburn, 43-7
victor over Houston Saturday
right, will be a solid choice
over Flordia.
But the other four, second
ranked Iowa, third-ranked Tex
as A&M, fifth-ranked Notre
Dame and unranked but also
unbeaten and untied Dartmouth
could easily be knocked out
of the elite group. In Texas
A&M's case, a defeat could
mean no telephone call from
the Cotton Bowl committee.
Iowa Wins In Rain
Iowas, which beat Northwest
ern, 6-0, on a rain-and-snow
soaked field thanks to a fluke
play, goes against Michigan,
which is 4-1 overall and wallop
ed Minnesota, 24-7, on Satur
day. Ohio State, Big Ten co
leader and the league's likely
Rose Bowl nominee, takes on
Northwestern, 1 11 i n o i s plays
Purdue, Minnesota meets Ind
iana and Michigan State plays
Wisconsin in other games.
Texas A&M. 6-0 after Satur
day's 14-0 triumph over Baylor
draws a real "toughie" in the
Arkansas Razorbacks. The Raz
orbacks k n o c k ed Mississippi
from the perfect-record list, 12-6,
and have outscored six oppon
ents, 105-61, in running up a
5-1 overall record.
Notre Dame, making a great
comeback under Terry Brennan,
places its 4-0 record on the line
against a Navy team that has
won five games, lost by a touch
down to North Carolina and
romped over Pennsylvania, 35-7,
Saturday. Always a colorful
game, this one ranks as one
of the top intersectional clashes
of the entire season.
Dartmouth, 3-0 in the Ivy
league and 5-0 overall, is pitted
against Yale which lost its only
game by one point to Brown.
Princeton, tied with Dartmouth
for the league lead, plays Brown
so both leaders are in jeopardy.
Dartmouth whipped Harvard,
26-0, Saturday while Princeton
routed Cornell, 47-14, with a
four-touchdown spree in the
fourth period.
The bowl picture, following
the weekend action, is roughly
this: Oregon and Ohio State look
like the Rose Bowl opponents;
it looks like Oklahoma vs. Duke
in the Orange Bowl and Texas
A&M vs. Mississippi in the Cot
ton Bowl.
Army, still rated the East's
best despite a surprisingly close
one, 20-12, against Virginia, will
not play in the Sugar Bowl be
cause of Louisiana segregation
laws but might be receptive to
a Cotton Bowl invitation.
Other attractive games on
Saturday's schedule include
Baylor vs. TCU and Texas vs.
SMU in the Southwest; North
Carolina State vs. Wake Forest
and Georgia vs. Alabama in the
South; Oregon vs. Stanford and
UCLA vs. California in the Far
West and Army vs. Colgate and
Pittsburgh vs. Syracuse in the
East.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
The upstart Chicago Black
Hawks are making their pres

league much to the displeasure
of the so-called contenders.
The Hawks, NHL doormats in
recent seasons, whipped the De

day night to chalk up their first
win over the wings in Detroit's
Olympia in two years.
It boosted the Black Hawks
into fourth place, one point in
back of the New York Rangers
and one point ahead of Detroit.
The Rangers upended the high
flying Montreal Canadiens, 4-1.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
The Hershey Bears kept right
on rolling in the American Hock
ey league race during the week
end, gaining a pair of wins to
widen their first place lead to j

The Bears, who edged Buffa-i

Prize Taken
By Maxwell
Hesperia, Calif. rtPi Former
National Amateur champion Bil
ly Maxwell of Odessa, Tex.,
turned his sights on the $20,000
San Diego Open today after
grabbing top money in the $15,
000 Hespiera Open in a dramat
ic last minute duel with veteran
Dow Finsterwald.
Maxwell watched a comfort
able six-stroke margin dwindle
away Sunday as he shot his first
over par round of the tourney
on the opening nine while Fin
sterwald was turning in a three-under-par
33. But Maxwell ral
lied on the home stretch to win
by two strokes with a 67-67-67-74
275 that was worth S2.000.
Finsterwald turned in a 63-63-72-69277
for $1,500.
Tie for Third
Doug Ford of Mahopac, N.Y.,
Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, Pa.,
and Ken Venturi of San Fran
cisco ended in a three-way tie
for third place, each collecting
$1,033.33 for cards of 279.
Babe Lichardus of Hillside,
N.J., tied with Maxwell at the
halfway mark in the tournament
turned in a final round 73 for
a total of 281 and sixth place
money of $800.
Ed (Porky) Oliver of Canton,
Mass., turned in the best final
round score, a 36-32 68, but
ended in a tie for seventh with
Mike Souchak of Grossingers,
N.Y., and Don Fairfield of Ca
sey, 111.
Hornets Trip
KF 9th Club
Hedrick Junior high ninth
grade joined its McLoughlin
counterpart in the week end
winners' circle with a Saturday
verdict and the two aggregations
now have their eyes on their
intra-city season finale Thurs
day afternoon on the Hedrick
field.
The Hornets' 26 to 0 decision
over Klamath Falls followed a
31 to 0 win by McLoughlin Fri
day over Ashland.
Quarter scores for Hedrick
were 12 to 0, 19 to 0 and 26 to 0.
Dan Sieg tallied the first Hornet
touchdown with a five yard
punch and he ran two conver
sions. Ken Morse scored on a re
verse from 15 yards out, Bob
Mclntyre went up the middle
for 10 yards and a TD and Mike
Monroe rolled out, picked up
fine blocking and ran 50 yards
to the goal.
Mostly second and third string
players were in the line-up for
the Hornets at the end of the
game. Klamath got down to the
two. Hedrick held for three
downs and Klamath fumbled on
the fourth. Regular Dan Sieg
then broke away for a 60-yard
run to put the ball out of danger.
Gang Tackling
Good downfield blocking and
gang tackling were Hornet as
sets in the contest. Larry Brown
and Warren Parks were line
standouts and all the backs ran
well.
Linebacker Joe Parton was
left overnight at a Klamath
Falls hospital. He suffered a
blow on the head during the
game. On the trip home Parton
got sick around Keno and the
bus turned back. A doctor indi
cated that there was no injury
from the blow on the head but
the player was kept at the hos-
pial for observation.
The game between Hedrick
and McLaughlin was moved up
to Thursday at 3:30 pm. be
cause of junior high band prac
tice set for Friday in connection
with the Ashland-Medford Sen
ior high game.

Rose Bowl
Talk Shunned
By UO Ducks
Eugene W Oregon re
serves were being touted today
as the key to the Webfoot's foot
ball success following a 24-6 win
over tough California here Sat
urday. Oregon was picked by many
to finish far down in the Coast
conference this season for lack
of depth. But trie Ducks are now
riding high with five wins in
six games and a perfect 4-0 PCC
mark, thanks largely to the play
of the second unit.
Reserves teamed up with Jim
Shanley, Jack Morris and com
pany Saturday to pace the Web
foot win over the Bears and def
initely establish Oregon as the
team to beat for the Rose Bowl.
But any talk of a Pasadena
trip was met with an icy stare
from Duck players who meet
contending Stanford at Palo Al
to next Saturday and then face
Washington, USC and Oregon
State in that order.
Cal Committee
Resumes Probe
Of Coast Circuit
BY SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco, Oct. 26 OP)
Assemblyman Frank Bonelli,
charging that the Pacific Coast
conference "is all messed up"
will resume a probe of the
strife-ridden group here today.
But some of the star witnesses
may not show up.
Bonelli, chairman of a leg
islature subcommittee which
opened an invesigation of the
conference last month in Los
Angeles, comes from that region
where agitation has been
strong for UCLA and USC to
secede from the PCC.
Those two schools were the
hardest 'penalized of four univer
sities that got racket up in an
explosive conference cleanup
during the spring of 1956. Both
have been stripped of their sen
ior players this year and re
main banned from the Rose
Bowl as a result of disclosures
Washington was the third team
to be barred from the Bowl
while California got off with a
lighter sentence and now is
eligible.
Not As Warm
Bonelli said in a prepared
statement that the Los Angeles
quiz 'pointed up the fact that
California, UCLA and USC are
not going with the round-robbin
schedule next year and there
fore 1 the PCC probably is dead
and 2) commissioner Victor O.
Schmidt probably is on his way
out."
'T think the subcommittee
will learn enough at the con
clusion of the hearings to be able
to recommend some remedial
legislation which would help
straighten out the PCC mess,"
Bonelli said in his statement. He
also declared he did not expect
"such a warm reception from
the Bay area press as re received
from the Southern California
sportswriters," when he launch
ed tfte investigation.
Wilbur Johns, UCLA's athlet
ic director, said at the Los Ang
eles hearings that some PCC
delegates had offered to ease
penalties against his school if
coach Red Sanders were fired.
Schmidt and Sanders were
those others who testified there.

Grants Pass high looms a big
ger obstacle to Medford Black
Tornado ambitions for fourth
straight District 6 A-l football
championship after its 40 to 0
pasting of Klamath Falls last
Friday. Until the week end just
past Medford stood out as favor
ite for Nov. 8 encounter here
with the Cavemen. Now, the
fracas rates as at least a toss
up. Medford clipped the Pelican
of KF by the lesser margin of
33 to 14 but the Tornado has
thumped Crater 40 to 14 while
GP eleven was held to 20 to 13
by the Comets.
The GP-Medford fuss in all
probability will determine the
district and Southern Oregon
conference championship. At the
moment, however, the Black
Tornado can't afford to look past
its game with Ashland here this
Friday evening. Medford will be
favored in the conflict with the
Grizzlies but must be wary of
the new life shown by Ashland
in its rally for victory over Crat
er by 19 to 12 on Friday.
Medford pass defense cer
tainly will have to be at its
best for the meeting here with
Grants Pass. And the part
icular eye. of course, will be
on the Cavemen's Jim Smith
lo Mike Sparlin combination.
Information how many passes
have connected between the
two and for how many yards
isn't at hand but Smith has
thrown 13 touchdown passes,
12 of them to Sparlin.
Betters Record
Jim Benson's time of 79.85
miles per hour in the recent
Southern Oregon timing associa
tion drag races with his 1950
Ford bettered the old Camp
White strip record of 73.17 mph
for E stock class. It was also
better than the national record
of around 76 mph but reported
ly cannot be considered for of
ficial honors since the race
program was not a sanctioned
event under the National Hot
Rod association.
RILEY. HOOPER SHINE
Gary Riley, ex-Medf ord
high halfback, and Norman
Hooper, former Eagle Point
high fullback are doing well
in Oregon Technical institute
football this fall, according to
reports from the school.
Riley has been performing
at fullback. An ankle injury
has hampered Gary and flu
sidelined him for one week
but the coaching staff has
pointed to his fine promise
and expects Riley to become
one of the lop players the
school had produced.
Hooper has played end and
fullback. Predictions for him
are similar lo those made for
Riley. Norm is registered in
the school of engineering and
expects to specialize in struct
ural design.

HALFTIME TALK QUIET
That Southern Oregon college
truly has a football team for the
whole area to be proud of was
demonstrated by the Red Raid
ers second half comeback for a
21 to 19 triumph over Oregon
college on Saturday afternoon.
What was the secret of the
rousing rallv from an 0 to 19
deficit? "Actually, I v don't re
member whaI said," Coach Al
Akins reported this morning
when queried concerning re
marks in the dressing room at
halftime. He stated that the sit
uation wasn't one for hysterics
and that what was said was nut
forth in a "quiet vein." The
first half was very quietly talked
over. It was pointed out who had
been a little lax and the club
got up the determination to go
out and play football, according
to the head mentor.
Akins said that he was "very
proud" of his Red Raiders. He
stated that it is very easy for a
club when it is 19 points behind
to quit and just play out the
game, hoping to make up for it
the following week.
SCARE SHOULD HELP
Southern Oregon meets
Eastern Oregon al LaGrande
this Saturday and will have
the Oregon Collegiate confer
ence crown all to itself if it
beats ihe Mountainers. Coach
Akins mentioned lhat the
"scare" suffered by the Raid
ers in gaining their third
OCC win without a loss could
help prevent them from being
"upset material" at LaGrande.
He remarked, "I do think the
scare was good for us and that
we'll be ready to play a real
good game."
ROMINE'S LEG BROKEN
Chuck Romine, Raider tackle,
from Medford, saw his hopes for
all-conference honors hurt when
he suffered a broken leg on Sat
urday. Akins said that both bones
in Romine's lower left leg were
broken about five inches above
the ankle. Romine was having a
fine year. End Cy Perkins' arm
became paralyzed in the OCE
fracas but the seriousness of the
ailment was yet to be determ
ined. 3-1 Favorite

ber seve.n middleweight contend

Is That
Ever wondered how efficient
your body is?
If Detroit ever evolved an
automobile which could com
pare, it could grind its own
valves, grow its oftm tires, weld
cracks in its carburetor, patch
its paint skin, scour its slipcov
ers,, adjust automatically to
desert heat or mountain height
and put a couple of million miles
on the speedometer without ever
stopping.
Imagine, as our power plant
keeps working it reconstructs
itself continuously. From eye-
lashes to liver, each of us is in a
constant state of tearing down
and building up; and this ma
chine keeps on running for 70
years and more until the tear
ing down occurs faster than the
building up. And blessed sleep
helps balance that state between
decomposition and regeneration.
Ever wondered why some peo
ple like a thin pillow, others a
fat one? Easy enough. A narrow
shouldered, large-skulled adult,
particularly if he sleeps on his
stomach, requires a rather thin
pillow or none at all. A broad
shouldered side-sleeper needs the
fattest pillow made, because his
shoulders keep his head such a
distance from the mattress. As
for an infant, it needs no pillow
at all. Not as you might suppose
because of the threat of suffo
cation that danger exists only
until the baby attains enough
control to move his head at will.
No, the real reason is in the
baby's physical proportions: he
is born with a head almost as,
large as his shoulder span; hence
it does not require support to
keep the head from dropping.
For what its worth: Dr. Wil
liam Dement of Chicago recent
ly discovered that up-and-down
eye movements during sleep in
dicate that the subject is having
a dream which is concerned with
climbing; while side - to - side
movements have to do with hor
izontal activities.
Speaking of sleeping, re
searchers now state that it is
impossible for a person to catch
up on sleep that is missed: once
it's gone, it's gone forever.
No Physiological Damage
Worried about insomnia? Then
listen to what Phyllis Rosentaur
has to say in Morpheus and Me
(Funk & Wagnalls): "Mother na
ture lulls us to sleep long before
insomnia can do any appreciable
damage. The most comprehen
sive tests prove that no physi
ological damage results from go
ing as many as 72 hours without
sleep. In pushing toward the
outer limits, soldier-volunteers
have undergone enforced wake
fulness for 112 hours almost
five days without suffering any
physical or biochemical change.

Rocket Progress
Report Encouraging
Washington OP) The Army
issued an encouraging progress
report today on its efforts to de
velop a rocket that can inter
cept and destroy enemy mis
siles. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chief
of staff said early work on the
Nike Zeus, the Army's "anti
missile missile," so far has been
"crowned with success."
The Zeus, equipped with a
nuclear warhead, is being de
signed to zoom more than 100
miles into space to explode an
oncoming intercontinental bal
listic missile (ICBM) at 75,000
feet above the earth.
Taylor discussed the anti-missile
project in a speech before
the U.S. Army association as the
U.S. stepped up its barrage of
announcements on successful
missile developments.
The Air Force announced Sun
day that it had tested success
fully its new bomber-launched
Rascal missile against a long
distance target and the Navy
disclosed it soon will fire its
Polaris intermediate range bal
listic missile from a submerged
atomic submarine.
Taylor rejected complaints
that the cost of an effective ati
mfssile missile would be "astro
nomical." He told the Army as
sociation that "I can assure you
that the studies which I have
seen lead me to a different con
clusion." UP Manager's Mother
