season, almost "stole" first
place from the defending cham
pion Sooners as they accumu
lated 296 points in the weekly
balloting of the 35-man United
Press board of coaches.
Oklahoma had to come from
behind to edge Colorado, 14-13
for its 45th straight victory last
Saturday and this "squeaker" al
most cost the Sooners the lead.
However, they still managed to
pick up 17 first place votes and
a total of 301 points.
Iowa, meanwhile, dropped
from second to third place with
254 points. Auburn jumped from
sixth to fourth with 227 points,
and Notre Dame retained its

Princeton Coach
To Face Surgery;
Condition Serious
Princeton. N.J. HP) Charlie
Caldwell, 56-year-old Princeton
football coach, faced possible
surgery today to correct a "lin
gering, deeply-rooted infection"
that has placed him in "serious"
condition. '
Caldwell, college coach of the
year, took a turn for the worse.
He has been on medical leave of
absence since last Sept. 23.
"He has been unable to throw
off the enervating effect of a
lingering, deeply-rooted infec
tion," said Dr. J. Mercer Ram
pona through the university
Public Information Department.
"At this time, in view of com
plications developing from this
infection, it seems advisable to
transfer him from his home to
Princeton Hospital for possible
surgery."

ing out the Colorado quarter
back's signals.
With third down and two
yards to go on the Oklahoma
seven yard line in the third pe
riod, Ward said, the crowd set
up a deafening din, reinforced
by the thunder of a bass drum
in the Oklahoma band.
"Quarterback Ralph Herbst
signaled to the crowd with his
arms for silence," Ward told the
Buffalo Roundup club, '"but the
partisan crowd yelled even
louder. Herbst had noticed a
big hole in Oklahoma's line and
called a check signal to change
plays. He calls 'up two.' The
center thought he had called
'hike' and lifted the ball.
"Herbst wasn't ready," Ward
said, "and we were called for
illegal procedure. That cost us
a touchdown."
When Oklahoma had trouble
hearing signals, Ward said, the
referee called time out. And
the public address announcer
asked the crowd to be quiet, and
there "was quiet."
"Never in my life and I've
seen more than 400 football
games have I witnessed such
a spectacle as I saw at Norman,"
he said.

Ashland at Medford and Malin
at Merrill are "the" crucial
games this week end in Southern
Oregon prep football.
Medford will aim for a verdict
over Ashland on Friday to keep
its record clean in District 6 A-l.
Malin and Merrill vie in a con
flict which could resolve the
District 5B title.
Other 6 A-l games will have
Klamaths Falls playing Crater
at Central Point. Both teams are
fighting to rise from the cellar.
Grants Pass steps outside of A-l
and Southern Oregon conference
play as host to Tillamook.
Malin likely will be declared
5B winner if it upends Merrill
while a Merrill win could force
a play-off. The Mustangs of Ma
line have five wins and Merrill
four and no actual losses. Flu
or colds resulted in postpone
ment of one Malin game and
two Merrill tilts. If the district
committee decides, as expected,
to consider the postponing team
the loser, Malin's record stands
at 6-0 and Merrill's at 5-1.
Other Conflicts
Other B games this week will
be Bonanza at Talent on Friday
and Chiloquin versus St. Mary's
at Medford and Jacksonville
versus Sacred Heart at Klamath
Falls both on Saturday night.
In District 6A2 southern-division
on Friday Phoenix will
meet Illinois Valley at Cave
Junction, Glendale will contend
at Brookings and Rogue River
will be at Eagle Point. In a non
district scrap Henley will be
host to Tulelake, Calif.
If Phoenix downs IV and
Glendale should fall to Brook
ings the two Pirate teams will be
Rogue league co-champions but
Glendale doubtless will receive
the district play-off bid because
of its win last week end over
Phoenix.

Oregon roared up on the con
