o Old Traditional Tilts Dominate Football on Saturday Collegiate 8? Fftftvc LiTsrr JniWrf J rctes Bports Vrite? Jfour major conference foot ball championships will be de cided Saturday, but they may he) overlooked ly fans watching (ft) bunch of those' no-holds-barred "old rivalry" games that pack whole season's drama into one game. At stake are crowns In the Pacific Coast, Atlantic Coast, Missouri Valley, and Ivy League conferences. But even in some of these, it's the game itself and not the title that will produce most of the excitement. Oregon vs. Oregon State, for instance, will settle the PCC champion and Duke will be shooting for the ACC crown in its game against North Carolina. But winning over an old foe means more than win ning a league crown, especially since Oregon and Duke already have landed bowl berths. "Granddaddy" of Tradition One of the headliners, of course, is the "granddaddy" of tradition games, Yale vs. Har vard, which once again has noth ing but glory and the "Big (-"hree" title at stake. Another highlight is the al ways rugged battle between Iowa and Notre Dame. Although Ohio State dethroned Iowa as Big Ten champion last week, the Hawkeyes are seven-point favorites over Notre Dame for the men who make the odds feel the Irish must suffer a letdown ;8fter their startling 7-0 upset victory over Oklahoma. Oregon, which plays Ohio State in the Rose Bowl in five weeks, is an even-money bet against Oregon State. Duke, looking forward to its Orange Bowl clash with Oklahoma, is a seven-point favorite over North Carolina, but North Carolina Stat, like Duke unbeaten but tied in conference play, is a one-point choice over South Carolina and can back into the championship if Duke loses. Princeton Ivy Favorite The Dartmouth-Princeton win ner will take Ivy league honors, frith Princeton a three-point choice. Houston rates a seven point edge over Tulsa and a vic tory would keep the Missouri Valley Conference championship at Houston. Rice and Tennessee, each a gtrong bowl candidate, Cotton, Sugar and Gator, also are favor ed Rice by three points over Texas Christian and Tennessee by seven over Kentucky. Ohio State, ranked second be hind Michigan State by the Unit ed Press Board of Coaches, is only a three-point choice over Michigan. Michigan State which plays Kansas State and third ranked Auburn which plays Florida State are such strong favorites that the odds-makers declined to establish a line. Eooners Try Again Oklahoma, its 47-game record winning streak now only a line In the record book, tries to start a new one against Nebraska, which has beaten only Kansas State this year. Oklahoma is lavored by 28 points. In regionally televised games: East Yale favored by 14 feints over Harvard. Midwest Iowa at Notre Dame. 'Midlands Missouri favored by ne point over Kansas.

But the road in the Rogue league and subdistrict could be a long, hard one. While Jack Woodward has a good exper ienced squad back to coach and feels that he should have a bet ter club than last year, he points out that the Pirates might not go as far as they did in the 1957 1958 campaign. A number of the other Rogue clubs are-reported almost equally blessed with ma terial. From last season's regular starting crew. Woodward lost only Jim James. The four others back are Doug Witte, center, Gary Simmonds, forward, and Jim Heath and Jim Stout. They are seniors as are five other let termen. Lester Schleigh, for ward, Don Wallace, forward and guard, Ron Daugherty, guard, Bob Taylor, center, and Jim Waldron, forward. Working With 10 Right now Woodward has been working mostly with 10 men. The 10th is Terry Hamilton, jun ior, a transfer from Medford, where he played junior varsity ball last season. Phoenix will open its season at home against Yreka, Calif. Play in what appears to be a well-balanced Rogue league will involve six teams this fall and members wil have 10-game slates in the circuit. However a seven team tournament will determine the subdistrict title. Brookings, Illinois Valley, Eagle Point, Glendale and Rogue River will join with Phoenix in the league. Henley will vie with the Rogue six in the tournament. Last year Eagle Point won the league but was nipped by Phoe nix in the tournament. 37 29 18 18 16 14 12 8 394 488 278 214 256 147 145 153 Panting PT YD Ave. Barry Adams, OCE .... 30 1118 37.2 John Willmarth.

TOO FAT Hexham, England (OT The Hexham Rural Council has 50 new chairs on order for its members. The councilmen got too fat for the old ones, council spokesmen said. 4 Each year, water and wind erosion, on farms throughout the country, "steal" the staggering amount of three billion tons of soil materials containing available and potential plant nutrients worth three billion dollars. You can put the shackles on this grand thejt by adopting simple, soil conserva tion methods for your farm. There's nothing mysterious about con servation farming. Many farmers consider it easier than present methods. Important, too, it requires no special tools. Practically all your present John Deere Equipment is adaptable to conservation practices. In most cases, it means an actual saving in fuel and equipment upkeep because con servation farming is "level-land" farming. It will pay you to discuss soil-saving and profit-building farming practices with your county soil conservation representative. Do it soon! mm Y CO.
