The results left the Black Hawks in third place, four points behind the ' idle second-place New York Rangers, and six points in back of the pace-setting Montreal Canadiens. Boston is in fourth place and Toronto and Detroit are in a deadlock for fifth and last place. AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press The Hershey Bears finally have been coced off in the American Hockey league, but there's no one around today even close enough to cmake a stab at their first-place lead. The Bears, beaten 3-0 by the Cleveland Barons Saturday night, battled to a 4-4 tie with the Springfield Indians Sunday night, while the second-place Providence Reds and the third place Rochester Americans wound up in a 2-2 tie and the Buffalo Bisons shutout the Barons, 3-0.

' SF State, Chico Vie for Crown By UNITED PRESS San Francisco State goes against Chico State next week end in a tilt which will decide the Far West Conference cham pionship.

Ollie Mat son plunged a yard and ran 57 for the Cardinal touchdown at Yankee Stadium.

The Redskins took a 17-14 lead on Sam Baker's 37-yard field goal early in the final pe riod at Washington.

Willamette, Linfield in Showdown By UNITED PRESS Willamette set up a showdown for the Northwest conference football crown by walloping Pa cific 40-6 at Salem Saturday. The two teams meet Saturday at McMinnville with the winner getting the titlj. A tie would favor Linfield since the defend ing champion Wildcats have a 4-0 record while Willamette has 3 wins and a tie. Linfield tuned up by taking Portland State 35 12 in a non-conference game. In the only other conference game, Whitman scored on a pass in the final 24 seconds to defeat Lewis and Clark 34-33.

The Rose Bowl story is an other matter and may have to wait until the curtain falls on the 1957 season for a decision. The powerhouse of Ohio State and Iowa, both unbeaten in con ference play, meet on the Hawk eye gridiron Saturday. Michigan State, owner of four conference wins against one loss, tackles Minnesota at home. An Iowa victory would clinch the second successive title for the Corn State contenders and leave Ohio State with a 5-1 slate. If the contest goes the other way, the Buckeyes would re main undefeated and automatic ally wrap up the crown, despite what Michigan State does against Minnesota this week or how the Buckeyes fare in their season fi nale Nov. 16 against Michigan. Iowa Ineligible Iowa, at last year's Rose Bowl representative, is ineligible for a return trip. Thus the Rose Bowl battle is between Michigan State and Ohio State and the Buckeyes next Saturday will have both the title and the bid for the Bowl within their grasp. Francisco smothered Sacra mento, 41-6, and Chico sunk the Cal Aggies, 28-6. 17 Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Fines, Drain Tile 727 W. McAndrews Ph.

Well Balanced Beaverton, champion of Dis trict 3 and the Metropolitan league, boasts a tremendous run ning team. The Beavers, al though not too heavy a club, are considered a well-balanced aggregation.

They threw five and completed four to put the ball on the one-yard line In one of their scoring surges. Only loss Beaverton has suf fered this season was to South Eugene in non-loop action.
