Oregon State, the defending champion, can deadlock the Ducks for the title by winning. Oregon has clinch ed the Rose Bowl bid. The game, starting at 1:30 p.m., is rated a toss-up. The out look is for good weather and both teams are in near top shape Each team goes into the con test with a season record of 7 wins and 2 defeats.

It will feature final regular-season performances by three of the finest backs ever to compete for the two schools, Jim Shanley and Jack Morris of Oregon and Joe Francis of Oregon State. Not since 1941, when Oregon State defeated Oregon 12-7 to earn the Rose Bowl bid against Duke has an Oregon-OSC game generated so much enthusiasm. Oregon State worked behind locked gates all week with husky Rook players under strict orders to keep visitors off the practice field. Coach Tommy Prothro wants this game as badly as any he's had since coming to OSC three seasons ago. He has beaten every team in the conference except Oregon.

Such a move also will involve making the versatile Gil Mo Dougald, who was the Yankees' regular shortstop the last year and a half, into the team's regu lar second baseman. A second baseman by trade, the 29-year-old McDougald has starred at every infield position except first base since joining the Yan kees in 1951. A Yankee spokesman indicat ed advance knowledge of what was on Stengel's mind Thursday when he said Coleman's retire ment as a player put Bobby Richardson "in line to be the team's second baseman unless Stengel has some other player switches in mind." Made It Clear Stengel himself has made it pretty clear that he has some switches in mind." And one of them is known to be converting Kubek, the 21-year-old native of Milwaukee who played five po sitions in his rookie campaign, into a regular shortstop. Kubek switched about at Stengel's discretion with" an amazing degree of adaptability this year, but General Manager George Weiss is known to be lieve criticism of Stengel on just that point was justified. It was Kubek's error at third that paved the way for the Braves' big four-run rally in the deci sive game of the World Series and Weiss believes such a fine young player should be an chored at one position and not switched about arbitrarily.

Bird Hunting Good East Of Cascades Portland Upland game bird hunters enjoyed one of the most successful seasons for several years. Incomplete statistics compiled by the Oregon game commission show that success was notably good in Baker, Malheur, Mor row, and Umatilla counties where pheasants and quail were found in abundance. In western Oregon, Jackson county and the south Willamette valley pro duced the best results, although good hunting was reported from most areas. Hunting pressure was lighter than normal in many of the pop ular pheasant areas. This, no doubt, was in part due to the opening of hunter's choice deer season on the same week end. Incomplete data on pheasants show an average of almost one bird per hunter as compared to 0.74 last year. Hungarian partridge, chukar partridge and quail provided some sport on the east side and showed that success was in di rect proportion to the time and effort expended. Huns were abundant in Morrow county, while good numbers of chukars were available along the De schutes and John Day rivers and in Malheur county. Chukar Shooting Scattergunners also enjoyed some good shooting on released chukars in Morrow and Uma tilla counties. Some 35 bands have been returned to the game commission from adult cocks re leased in these areas just prior fo the season opener. Sportsmen are to be complimented highly for the prompt return of these bands. Complete data on blue and ruffed grouse show that the 1957 average was nearly double the success of last year. Reports show 130 birds per hunter as compared to 0.69 birds per hunt er in 1956. Better gunning was evident on both the east and west side of the state. Ontario Game Production Farm No Longer Used Portland The Ontario game farm is a thing of the past. No longer will this pheasant pro ducer rear game birds for the hunters'- guns. Last month the game commission sold the On tario plant and transferred all operations to the modern Herm iston establishment. According to Vic Masson, chief of game bird production, the commission had been consider ing such a move for some time.' Facilities at the farm had depre ciated to a point where complete replacement was required for efficient operation. In addition, setting hens, used in the old pro duction methods, were becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Cost Too Great Because cost of modernizing was too great, it was decided to centralize all eastern Oregon bird production at Hermiston which already contained up-to-date facilities. Actually, a por tion of the Ontario farm no longer needed for bird rearing was sold as early as 1955. The final sale followed this year's pheasant production. The Ontario farm was con structed in 1937 and began pro duction in 1938. Up to 1957, the farm produced a grand total of 289,992 pheasants and 1,121 chukar partridge. Yearly aver age production was 12,099 pheas ants. It's A Boy Norris City, 111., (IP) Resi dents here awakened by a low- flying airplane saw leaflets fluttering to the ground.

C 1957. by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate,- Electronic Seeing Aids May Be Perfected Soon Maplewood, N.J. Dr. John C. Button, the osteopath who conceived an experiment in which a blind woman saw light by artificial means, said today that electronic seeing aids could be perfected within five years. The doctor, who practices in East Orange, N. J., said he rea lized he would be "much criti cized," for what he was saying, but stated flatly "With all the money I want I could give vis ion to blind people within five years." Button said the electronic vis ion would involve a small elec tronic pickup gadget, worn in the hair, or in the back of the ear, which would pick up "ema nations" from the objects around the patient and present him with an image of what he was facing. He said the process would also involve burying tiny wires, much smaller than human hairs, within the brain. Button said the experiment conducted on Betty Corstor- phine, 35, Newark, N.J., last Oc tober in Los Angeles, was only a rudimentary and opening" one, but showed that "electronic vision is feasible." During the experiment, tiny holes were drilled in her skull and steel wires implanted in her brain. Attached to the wires was a photocell which he held in her hand. When the light in the dark ened room was turned on, Miss Corstorphine was able to see flashes of light. She could tell when the light was turned on and from which direction it Christmas Is Sooner Than You Think LOANS FROM $2500 to $2,50000 AUTOMOBILE FURNITURE SALARY COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL FINANCE CORP.

If you can do that much the rest is a matter of refining our techniques. We can envision a totally blind person seeing a television image of everything we see." Sputnik I Rocket To Be Visible By UNITED PRESS The rocket of Sputnik I, the Soviet Union's first earth satel lite, will make several visible passages over the United States next week. According to a timetable com puted by scientists at the Smith sonian Astrophysical Observa tory at Cambridge, Mass., the rocket will be visible Monday evening at 6:40 EST, entering the United States over Chicago and exiting from view near At lanta. Other cities which may catch a glimpse of the rocket are Butte, Mont., Denver, Colo., and San Antonio, Tex. It will be visible in other portions of the nation Tuesday and Wednesday. The rocket, now flying at an approximate height of 250 miles, is steadily nearing the earth's at mosphere where it will burn up because of friction. Scientists have predicted that this will re sult in a blazing display about Dec. 11.
