ifornia, the only other team el-
igible for the Rose Bowl, has a
record of one win and two losses
in conference play.
Want To Shake Slump
If Washington State wants to
stay in the race, the Cougars
will have to get by the defending
champion Oregon Staters, who
can't go to the bowl because of
the "no-repeat" rule. But the
Beavers have lost two straight
games and will be out to shake
their slump.
California plays UCLA in the
Los Angeles Coliseum and both
teams have a lot of bouncing
room. The Bears were beaten by
Oregon, 24-6, last week, and
Stanford trimmed the Bruins,
20-6.
Southern California, looking
for its first victory in six games,
goes against the Washington
Huskies, who have only one win
but that was a 19-7 stunner
over Oregon State last week.
The ninth member of the PCC,
Idaho, goes against Montana
State.

IsTliat So?
Sy EUGENE BURNS
Rafigsr-Naturalist
From the almost hairless So
maliland rat of the desert to the
shaggy-coated musk oxf the
northland, all warm - blooded
mammals have hair.
- Its uses are many. Many ani
mals have whiskers attached to
nerve ends for touch particu
larly In the dark. Eyelashes keep
out dust. Hairy tails remove
troublesome Insects. The white
tailed deer signals by throwing
its tail upright when danger
threatens.
For traversing loose snow
fields, the varied hare, fox, wolf
and polar bear have paws over
grown with stiff fur which make
snowshoe-like pads. For warmth
and protection, squirrels wrap
their long bushy tails about their
faces when coiled In sleep. Hol
low hair helps the caribou swim
high out of the water buoyed
by its natural lifebelt. A porcu
pine's spines protect it from ill
meaning marauders.
And hair keeps out cold, sheds
rain, and shuts out the sun's
dangerous rays.
Hair is of two basic kinds
the long bristly, protective guard
hair which sheds water readily
and protects the animal; and the
soft, downy, silk-like fibres
known as "fur fibers," some
times referred to as underfur.
Take the two together and the
fur keep's the animal warm (as
well as Its second-hand user,
the human). ,
Density of hair, growth and
texture vary with place, season
and the animal's personal habits.
At southernmost limits, the bea
ver is provided with thin fur in
marked contrast to the dense fur
of the same species at the north
ernmost limits of its Canadian
range. In the Arctic,' with its
long winters, the fox's heavy
fur remains Intact for the great
er part of the year and is shed
rapidly during the short warm
spell.
Best Fur in Spring
Water rodents, namely beaver,
nutria and muskrat, put on their
best coat of-, fur during these
early spring months when the
water is coldest: however, the
marmot, which hibernates, has
its best fur covering in the late
fall just prior to Its winter
sleep.
A hair's life span Is from six
months to four years, although
a few, such as those in the short
tail- of the buffalo, may last a
life-time. (The human's, which
grows about an inch a month,
is replaced every four years
which means an average restoral
of 90.000 hairs for a red-head,
105,000 for a brunette, and 140,
000 for a blonde.) .
Perhaps more than any other
one thing, hair has enabled mam
mals to develop far beyond their
ancestors, the reptiles. Within
its shelter of fur, the animal be
came warm-blooded assurQg a
wider adaptation ' and progres
sion. (Copyright. 1957.

Workshop in Choral
Reading Scheduled
Ashland Featuring a discus
sion of its purposes and use in
modern education, a workshop in
choral reading will be conducted
at Peterson school in Klamath
Falls, Saturday, Nov. 2, "at 10
a.m. with Leon Mulling, director
of the Southern Oregon Speech
and Hearing center, in charge.
Citing the importance of
choral reading for classroom use,
Mulling listed the following
benefits: Such an activity helps
to correct articulatory difficul
ties of children without calling
attention to the individual child;
helps to give children a basic
sense of rhythm, draws the sy
child into group activity, in
creases appreciation of litera
ture, and releases tensions of
children by giving them verbal
outlet.
Mulling announced that alLj
teacners attending tne womsnop
would be enabled to participate
in an experiment with choral
reading techniques.

Sputnik's Death
To Be Spectacular
Cambridge, Mass. (IP) The
death throes of the Russian
satellite, which is five weeks old
today, will form what one
scientist calls a "blaze of glory"
across the sky.
Meteorite expert Dr. John S.
Rhidehart said the dying Sput
nik will make a "great show,"
streaking perhaps as far as 3,000
miles and trailing light in a great
white path,
Rhinehart, an assistant direc
tor of the Smithsonian Astro
physical Observatory, said that,
under ideal circumstances, thou
sands may see the death plunge
And if Sputnik should come
down at sunset, "as it very well
might," he said, spectacular
would be far too mild a word
to describe it.
"There will be no advance
warning of the plummet to
earth," Rhinehart said. "Neither
do we know where it may land,
but there is a good chance it
will be on the North American
continent."
But no matter where or when
it falls, Rhinehart said, "it is
almost a certainty someone will
see it even though it's only a
lone person in the far north."
