) Pels, Comets Tussle At CP Friday Night Central Point One of two Southern Oregon conference football games being played within about five miles of each other Friday night will be on the Central Point field. Crater will be host here to the Klamath Falls Pelicans while Ashland is vying in Medford. The Comet-Pelican fus3 is be tween two clubs which have yet to score a conference verdict this season. Crater is playing its fourth and final fray within the loop and Klamath Its third con flict. Crater Mentor Leonard War ren said after a Comet scrim mage last night that the offense looked good but that he was not satisfied with the defense at all. The Comets this week, he re ported, have gone back to funda mentals with stress on tackling and line play. Pais Defense Work There has also been work on pass defense with the hope of stopping the aerial threat of Frank Ballard and Tom Ankeny. The Pelicans have quite elabo rate maneuvers in trying to make their pass attack go. The ball is sometimes exchanged sev eral times in the backfield before the ball is heaved. Klamath also mixes in the old statue of liberty play. Crater has had its troubles with sickness and injury. Line men Tom Turner, Doug Davis and Mike Martin, on the sick list, reported yesterday for their first workout of the week. Martin missed last week. Back Wayne Allen who made Air Defense Toughened By Beavers Corvallis. Ore. OP The Ore gon State Beavers held a long aerial defense practice Wednes day as Coach Tommy Prothro sought a way to stop the potent passing attack of the Washington State Cougars. Prothro hopes to counter the Cougars with a potent running attack if tailback Joe Francis and fullback Nub Beamer get back in top physical condition by Saturday. Oregon State College, Corvallis, Ore. Oregon State's twice-beaten football team, still full of de sire and hope, faces another tough opponent here at Parker stadium when the strong Wash ington State Cougars come to town in the Beavers' homecom ing game. It will mark the first time this season that Oregon State has not been favored to whip an oppon ent, something the Beaver coaches figure might be a good omen. What's more, Coach Tom my Prothro has never lost a home football game in his three seasons at the Orange helm either here or in Portland. Both clubs will be shooting for their 22nd victory in the long rivalry that dates back to 1903. Each has won 21 times, with two of the games ending in ties. Ore gon State swept both the 1955 and 1956 games while under Prothro. Any chance of an upset OSC might have depends to a large extent on the element of injured players. The Beavers have lost first-string guard Jim Brackins indefinitely because of a shoul der dislocation, and still handi capped in practice this week have been Joe Francis. Nub Beamer, Jim Stinnette, George Enderle, Howard Hogan and Ed Kaohelaulii. Prothro calls WSC the "most improved team in the confer ence" this season. Coach Jim Sutherland had the top passing team in the nation last fall, but has combined a strong running attack this time to make the pass ing even more effective. . Gates will open at 12 noon, with kickoff time slated for 1:30 p.m. Oregon State College, Corvallis A homecoming crowd of some 20.000 fans is expected for the Oregon State-Washington State college football game at Parker stadium Saturday afternoon. Tickets are available at the Grey hound Bus depot in Medford. SUGSAM-OiSTIUUS C0UPAW.

OP) Stagger ing Kansas, a stranger to foot ball's big-time since the brief re gime of George Sauer, today be gan a cold search for a new coach following the surprise resigna tion of Chuck Mather and five assistants. University officials, who said no successor was immediately in sight, unanimously termed the mass announcement a "shock." Mather, 41, and possessor of one of the nation's most fabled rec ords as a high school coach at Massillon, Ohio, attributed the action to a desire "not to have our boys competing under the pressure of saving the coach's job." The Jayhawks, racked by re curring injuries and unspared by a sweeping flu siege, have won only one game this fall, losing four and tieing one. Mather's rec ord through his original three year contract which was renew ed for a year last spring was 6-22-1. Can't Solve Problem Mather and five hand-picked assistants, four brought to K-U when he assumed the head coach ing role from J. V. Sikes, said their decision came after a Tues day night conference. The group said it decided "we cannot solve the football problem" at Kansas "even by winning the four re maining games. Included in the move, college football's; biggest shuffle of the year, were assistants Paul Scho fer, Luri Wartiainen, Dave Putts, Dick Piskoty and Tom Triplett. All but Triplett had been with Mather several seasons, most at Massillon Washington high where he won six straight Ohio prep titles. Mather and the resigning assist ants will fulfill their present con tracts by completing the current season. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE - By UNITED PRESS New York (IP) Boston sports writers, who have had their hands full with temperamental Ted Williams, better steer clear of goalie Terry Sawchuk of the Detroit Red Wings when he plays against the Bruins at Boston Sunday night. Sawchuk, who quit the Bruins' in mid-season last year because his nerves were "shot," is on the warpath again. And he's especially furious at the writers, whom he claims "won't leave me alone." After scoring his first shut out since rejoining the Red Wings a 4-0 effort against the New York Rangers Wednesday night Sawchuk refused to talk to newsmen. In Wednesday night's other game. Henri Richard scored twice and Brother Maurice pot ted the 502nd regular - season goal of his career in leading the Montreal Canadiens to a 6-2 vic tory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. AMERICAN LEAGUE Willie Marshall's latest scor ing outburst today sent the Her- shey Bears soaring into a seven point first-place lead in the American Hockey league. The 25-year-old center scored two goals and assisted on an other as the Bears whipped the Cleveland Barons, 4-1 Wednes night to increase their season record to eight wins, one loss and one tie. Second-place Ro chester has won five games and lost four.

Black and Blue clubs enter the Saturday mix with two wins and a tie each. They tied each other. The Whites have a vic tory and two losses and the Reds have suffered three set backs. Yesterday the Blues drove from midfield to the goal the first time they got their hands on the ball. Roy Ross scored from 12 to 14 yards out and Jim Bandy ran the conversions. In the third quarter Jim Woods in tercepted a White pass and ran about 40 yards to the two yard line. Bandy went over from there. In the final quarter Ross went 15-yards to the end zone behind blocking by Danny Miles, Mike Callan and Bandy but the play was nullified by a holding penalty.

A meeting will be held at 7:30 today to plan the winter slate. HUNTING BILL Salem W A bi-partisan group of legislators Wednesday introduced a bill which would require a five-day waiting period before hunting season could be reopened after it had been closed because of forest fire dangers. The recent deer hunting season was closed because of forest fire danger but was ordered reopened on its original date less than 24 hours -before the starting time when fire danger lessened. HOW MR-8 PROTECTS YOUR CAR Here's the complete all-around cooling system protection you get with "Zerex," the only permanent type anti-freeze containing MR-8, Du Pont's special chemical rust inhibitor. 1. Works In all waters Du Pont "Zerex" anti-freeze with MR-8 is com patible with all types of water. Even in hard water the inhibitor stays in perfect solution. Hard water makes the inhibitors used in many anti-freezes precipitate out, materially reducing their protec tive qualities. 2. Will not rot rubber hose "Zerex" with MR-8 will not rot or soften rubber hose because it contains no oil. Oil is extremely harmful to some radiator hose, softening or rot ting it sometimes in one season. Then the hose may collapse or burst, causing overheating and engine damage. So don't take chances this winter. See your dealer now and get the complete winter-long pro tection only "Zerex" with MR-8 gives. It's the premium, permanent type anti-freeze made and guaranteed by Du Pont . . . your best assurance of quality and satisfaction.

LOGART TOP CONTENDER AMONG WELTER BOXERS New York OPi Isaac Logart, dynamic Cuban body-puncher, was named top contender for the vacant world welterweight title today in the Ring Magazine's lat est ratings. At the same time, odds-man Eddie Borden, publisher of the Weekly Boxing World, an nounced that Logart would be favored at least 7-5 against any one of the other five men ex pected to be included in the tournament for the vacant 147 pound crown. Names of the six men in the tourney will be announced Fri day or Monday by Julius Hel fand, chairman of the World Championship Committee and chairman of the N. Y. State Ath letic Commission. Virgil Akins of St. Louis, who clinched a berth in the tourna ment by knocking out ex-champion Tony DeMarco at Boston, Tuesday night was boosted from Stinging Remarks on Baseball In Report of House Committee Portland (IP) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), disclosed here yesterday that a forthcom ing report on organized baseball from the House judiciary com mittee will contain "many sting ing and abrasive" comments of the invasion of the West Coast by the major leagues. Sen. Neuberger said he re ceived that word from Rep. Em manuel Cellar, chairman of the committee. Neuberger had asked Cellar to investigate the question of what Neuberger called the major league "pirating" of territory long occupied by Pacific Coast league teams. Dollar Sign The Oregon Democrat declar ed that members of Congress "are alert to the cynicism with which the dollar sign has been placed on baseball by the abrupt pilgrimmages westward of the Dodgers and Giants." He admitted, however, that "baseball probably cannot be touched by effective legislative action. "Only'public opinion will ever be able to challenge a circum stance under which players and S3 tftfrfS- UK W AGAINST FREEZE-UPS, RUST-UPS ...AND IT WOHT ROT HOSE clog radiator heating and sixth to second among con tenders in the ring ratings. Knockdowns Rule Out DeMarco was dropped from first to third, but his six trips to the canvas in the Akiris' fight are expected to rule him out of the tourney. DeMarco's defeat automatically boosted Cuban Lo gart from second place to first. The tournament, expected to be fought out within 90- days, will determine a successor to Carmen Baslio, whose 147 pound crown was vacated auto matically on Sept. 23 when he won the middleweight 160-pound title from Sugar Ray Robinson. For various reasons, the six man eliminations are expected to include the following: Logart 1, Akins 2, Vince Martinez of Pat erson, N.J. 4, Gil Turner of Phil adelphia 6, Gasper Ortega of Mexico 7, and George Barnes of Australia 8. i teams are moved about by a few money-minded owners, like the pawns on a chessboard," he said. Red Raiders Pace Passing By UNITED PRESS Southern Oregon hopes to wrap up the Oregon Collegiate Conference football title Satur day afternoon at La Grande in a game with Eastern Oregon. The Red Raiders cinched at least a tie for the crown last week by defeating OCE 21-19. Oregon Tech meets OCE at Klamath Falls in a homecoming battle while Portland State meets British Columbia in a non-conference clash at Port land. In statistics, OCE led in total offense with an average of 86.8 per game but Southern Oregon led in passing with a 125.8 aver age and Oregon Tech in rushing with a 206.2 mark. Individually, Ron Maurer of SOC led in rushing with 7.8 per carry for 495 yards, Jim Bowlen of OCE led in passing with 36 out of 74 for 60 yards and Wy man Gernhart of OCE topped the scoring with 48 points. mm PERMANENT TYPE 3. Neutralizes all acids The seven different metals used in modern cool ing systems can become corroded when a per manent anti-freeze solution turns acid. However, "Zerex" with MR-8 has extra "reserve alkalin ity" that gives winter-long protection from the corrosive action of cooling system acids. ' 4. Keeps rust In suspension "Zerex" with MR-8 keeps the cooling systems of today's complex engines clean and free-flowing. Because "Zerex" contains no oil, it does not cause rust to stick to cooling system surfaces and passages, which can cause over engine damage. - Thursday, October 31, 1957 hunting and Fishing Southern (Oregon By MEL The past week has been pretty good both on the shooting and fishing front. Good weather here in the Rogue valley made the fishing fair to tops and the oc casional storms and winds east of the "mountains produced some fast limits on waterfowl. The Rogue is in excellent shape and there are enough fish in the river to produce good an gling. While most of the pres sure has been in the Robertson Bridge to Galice section, Med ford anglers had a field day re cently in the Bybee Bridge area. The fish have been running smaller on . the average than the winter run but some really bright ones have been netted up to 10 pounds. HOT SHOT CONSISTENT The most consistent lure has been the Hot Shot. This long beaked Eddie Pope creation has astounded fishermen here for the past four years. When Eddie first came through these parts and liberally distributed some of these lures to local fishermen and guides no one thought they would be worth carrying to the river. At least one guide that I know gave his lures away (he has been moaning about it ever since) because he thought they were just another hair brained scheme for catching fishermen! It didn't take long before the boys-who-will-iry-anylhing once found they were surefire fish catchers in the fall run. Some anglers predicted that they would only last a year as is the case with many lures, but this year is no exception they are still the best pro ducer. While most of the colors have been used to catch fish I suppose that the most consist ent producers are the White With Red Head, Sparkle Plen ty in White, Transparent Sil ver and the Silver with the Red Throat. They make an ex cellent boat fished lure for they do not get hung up on the bottom and will fish shallow L Mb DU PONT GUARANTEE "Zerex" anti-freeze will protect the cooling system of your car from freezing, rust or cor rosion for one full winter and will not leak out if used in a properly operating, watertight cooling system and if used according to Du Pont directions printed on the "Zerex" container. Du Pont guarantees too, that "Zerex" will not boil away and can be used with either high or low-opening thermostats, at high or low altitudes in extreme driving or weather con ditions. "Zerex" will not harm rubber hoses, gaskets, pump packing, metal parts of the cool ing system or car finish. "Zerex" mixes per fectly with water, flows freely and transfers heat efficiently. tS.U.$.PAT.Off- MEDFORD (OREGON) REES or deep depending on the cur rent and how much the boat is held in it. No one seems to know what the steelhead thinks this lure is, but, as long as he lakes it. who cares? MASS MIGRATION Dr. E. V. Meyerding of Med ford told me the other day that his party hunting in the Klamath basin saw a mass migration of ducks and geese which lasted for over four hours. The doctor said that the party limited by 9 a.m. and someone noticed that the air was full of ducks flying several hundred yards high with an over cover of geese. Seemingly these birds were not interested iri anything the Klamath valley had to offer but were heading into the south land. . It seems a shame that these birds did not stop for with many thousands of additional water fowl in the area the hunting would have been superb. DEPENDS ON WEATHER Increasing numbers of birds are reported in Warner valley. Shooting there will depend as elsewhere, on the weather. Many hunters hope for a storm but it has been my ex perience that when a big storm front moves in the birds ride out in front of it. I recall a few years ago when we had a split season, the fields were teeming with birds and they all moved out the day before the second season opened right in front of a big storm. So if you want to wish for some duck weather wish for rain squalls, high winds, fog and anything else that will be miserable to the hunter but hope that there is no really big storm. RENEW OLD RIVALRY Athens, Ga. (IP) When Geor gia meets Alabama here on Sat urday it will continue one of Dixie's oldest football rivalries. It will mark the 43rd meeting between the two schools in a se ries which dates back to 1895. MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN 5 a ST o W tn o c 2P " IA o CO
