Ore..,,, Tu.,o-,y, October 14. 1958 FCC Leads in Upset League lit leavers Follow Script San Francisco-JCPHf-The Pa cific Coast conference may not approach the summit of college football power this year but it certainly takes the back seat to no one in the up set department. For instance: Washington breezed into town last week end after putting up a hard nosed stand against Big Ten powerhouse Ohio State, then Army Powerhouse Tops Football Teams New York-UFB-Army, with a powerhouse reminiscent of the old Blanchard-Davis era, replaced Auburn atop the United Press International college football ratings today and once -mighty Oklahoma dropped out of the top 10 group for the first time since 1953. Coach Earl (Red) Blaik's crashing Cadets, who con quered Notre Dame, 14-2, last weekend, moved into the No. 1 spot for the first time since Oct. 24, 1950 -the year the UPI coaches' ratings were in augurated. Auburn, which now has a winning streak of 17 games, dropped back to second place followed in order by three Big 10 teams-Wisconsin, Ohio State and Michigan State. In a big shakeup of the top 10 group. Navy jumped up to sixth place, followed in order by Texas, Mississippi, Louisi ana state ana .Notre .Dame. Newcomers Listed Navy, Texas and Louisiana State were this week's new comers in the select group. Oklahoma, upset 15-14 by Texas, dropped back to 11th place. This marked the first week since Oct. 6, 1953 that the Sooners were not among the top 10 teams in the na tion. Other teams which dropped out of the top 10 were Pittsburgh and Purdue. This week's voting again was scattered, seven teams re ceiving votes for first place. Army had 14, Auburn 10, Wisconsin 5, Ohio State 3, and Michigan State, Texas and LSU 1 each. In points, distributed on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for votes from first to 10th places, Reds Lead Pentathlon Competition Aldershot, England-OJPD-The United States will strive to pick up ground on the favored Russians today when they re sume competition in the five day world pentathlon cham pionship. The Soviets jumped into the lead Monday as Capt. Nicholai Tatarinov of the Russian air force won the 2,500 meter cross-country , riding event. Tatarinov displayed faultless horsemanship as he completed the event in 5:07 for 965 points. Russia's Igor Novikov, de fending individual champion, tied Dr. Imre Nagy of Hun gary for second place with 950 points. A United States trio showed comparatively fine skill as it placed within the top 10 in a field of 39 riders from 14 coun tries. Moscow, Ida.- (UPD- Pass de fense will be the lesson for the Idaho Vandals, according to Coach Skip Stahley. The is in YOUR Favor - . '. . So TILL with plenty of that Delicious A & W ROOT BEER f "Come as you are be served in your car" CLOSED TUESDAYS ONLY A & W DRIVE III Corner Jackson and Riverside promptly collapsed before winless Stanford, 22-12. While the Huskies' tails were drooping at the farm, Oregon State rolled into Lara mie, Wyo., only to suffer a hu miliating 28-0 pasting to a so so Cowboy squad and watch its Rose Bowl hopes all but go down the drain. The loss doesn't count in the PCC standings, of course, but will Army had 303, Auburn 271, Wisconsin 244 and Ohio State 242. After Oklahoma in this week's second 10 group came Clemson, Iowa, and Oregon, with Colorado and Purdue tied for 15th place. College of Pacific was 17th, Pitt 18th, and Northwestern and Michi gan tied for 19th. Southern Methodist and Syracuse were the only other schools to re ceive points this week. Zora Folley Cooper Foe At London New York-(UP&-Two inter national heavyweight fights feature this week's boxing schedule. Zora Folley, top American contender for the heavy weight crown, fights Hen ry Cooper of England at Wembley Stadium, London, tonight.

The 'Skins also asked waivers on halfback Mike Sommer and linebacker Tom Braatz. We Are OPEN be hard to live down when the faculty fathers pick the Rose Bowl representative aft er the campaign ends. Some Followed Script The Beavers, pre-season fa vorites to go to Pasadena next January as the dying PCC's fi nal sacrificial offering to the Big Ten, had shut out a fair UCLA club, 14-0, the week before. The rest of the contests on the Coast went pretty much to form. Powerhouse Oregon, per haps stronger than the Web- foot squad which came out on the long end of everything but the score against Ohio State at the big bowl last Jan uary, smashed Southern Cali fornia, 25-0, in Portland. Cali fornia ran Utah into the turf at Berkeley's Memorial sta dium, 36-21, and College of Pacific coasted to a 26-8 tri umph over Brigham Young university at Stockton. Up north', Washington State squeezed out a hard-earned 8-0 win over Idaho in the 59th renewal of "the battle of the Palouse." UCLA dropped a 21-14 decision to Florida uni versity in a Friday night con test at Los Angeles. What's Next? Going back a week further, however, upsets again domi nate the scene. California, a two-time loser, derailed Wash ington State, 34-14, to put a dent in the Cougars' Rose Bowl aspirations. WSC had been considered championship material by many of the pre season prognosticators. USC also fell before the upset bug, dropping an 8-7 decision to North Carolina only a week after blanking Oregon State, 21-0. Next week's schedule also shows promise in the upset league. , ' Oregon hosts Washington State in a homecoming clash, California is at USC, Oregon State visits Idaho, UCLA takes on Washington at Se attle, College of Pacific trav els to Marquette, San Jose State is at Arizona (Tempe) State and unpredictable Stan ford meets a strong Air Force club at Palo Alto. Take your pick-but with the thought in mind that it will more than likely be wrong. 10 Minutes Tough, Says U. O. Coach Eugene -flJPD- Coach Len Casanova said the last 10 min utes of last year's Oregon Washington State football game at Pullman "were about the longest I've ever spent in a game." Casanova, speaking to the Oregon club Monday, referred to the game in which Oregon had a 14-0 lead only to see the Cougars tally twice in the final minutes. A blocked extra point try saved the win for the Ducks. Oregon meets WSC here Saturday. Praises Team The Oregon coach had praise for his entire team for its winning effort against Southern California in Port land last Saturday night. He singled out speedy halfback Willie West, not only for his ball carrying but for his de fensive play and blocking on offense. ' .- Phil McHugh, the Oregon freshman coach who scouted Washington State against Id aho, said the Cougars were dangerous even if injured Bobby Newman, the nation's leading passer, is only able to play a little. He said Dave Wilson, the sophomore Cou gar quarterback, was plenty capable of throwing the ball. OSC Tries Changes In Team Lineup Corvallis, Ore.-flJPD- Oregon State coach Tommy Prothro started trying a few changes in his lineup in preparation for the squad's next game against Idaho.

NAME FOOTBALL WEEK New. Brunswick, N. J.-flJPD-Governors of 36 states have designated the week of Oct. 18 to 25 as National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame SPORTS FANFARE By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor A proposal for change in Oregon high school athletic alignments, which would bring about shake-ups or ad ditions in four Class A-l dis tricts, is outlined in a story in today's sports section. As this writer sees it, the plan would be no real .improve ment over present arrange ments except for the eight schools in the Willamette val ley who request it. The schools seek to join in a district which will restore old rivalries, cut down travel with its compactness and re solve scheduling difficulties. In those respects such a cir cuit can be termed a "natu ral" and the schools have every right to petition for their plan. However, it ap pears that these schools, while having their own problems solved, would just be passing on headaches to someone else. Should the Oregon School Activities association approve the plan, after study, it would spoil or lessen some of the other ' natural rivalries and throw a heavier travel burden on other schools, some of whom can less afford it. COAST SCHOOLS OBJECT There are indications that some of the loudest objec tions to the proposal will come from Marshfield high at Coos Bay and from North Bend. Jim Heizer, sports writer for the Coos Bay World in his "Cleat Beats." gives the impression that the two coast schools look with askance on the plan, foreseeing a terrific finan cial handicap for their ath letic programs. Hetzer said a North Bend school official summed it up by saying, "At best the suggested plan would create more prob lems than it would tend to solve." . , Marshfield already has . football rivalry with all schools in the proposed Dis trict 6 but views the' neces sity of having to journey for conference play in all sports with alarm. Hetzer casts a note of sus picion into the matter by saying, "Perhaps the Eu gene schools secretly yearn for an easier way to reach the stale championship play-offs than they had in all but last year from the Pirates and Bulldogs." SOME ADVANTAGES? How would the projected redistricting affect the mem bers of present District 6? It's possible there would be some advantage for some schools. A league of bigger schools would be formed with the two small er members of the present set up placed among competitors more nearly their own size. Over the years a Medford, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Roseburg and Marshfield loop should be stronger than the current one. That might be more appealing to fans here. For Medford it could help solve a scheduling problem by renewing contention with Roseburg, but there would again be the possibility of Ashland andor Crater drop ping from the Tornado slate, either by choice or by neces sity to meet district commit ments. TRAVEL AND FINANCE But the whole issue seems to go back to the matter of travel and finance and the involvements of more than one sport. Crater and Ash land find the travel mat ter particularly objection able as small schools with smaller spectator turnouts. Tougher rivalry is preferred over financial woes and wor ries. Klamath Falls - senti ment has not been heard but it too has a travel problem involving Roseburg as well as Marshfield. . " 44TH MEETING Medford high and Klamath Falls next Friday night will meet for the 44th time on the., gridiron. Over the years Med ford has won 28 times while Klamath has posted eight vic tories. The Pelicans and the Black Tornado have tied seven times. In the last 10 seasons, however, the Pels, although on the short end of the odds, have held their own. Each school in that time has scored four victories and two games have been deadlocked. - ATTENTION DEER HUNTERS! BOY SCOUT TROOP No. 41 WANTS YOUR DEER HIDES . . .

Klamath Falls Opponent Of Medford High Friday Southern Oregon confer ence football will have a full bill-of-fare this Friday with two conflicts matching foes of long standing.

Kla math and Ashland open action in the circuit. . Crater, fifth member of the circuit, with no loop rival to meet, will' entertain Yreka, Calif. . i A big game in the Rogue league this Friday will have Illinois Valley at Eagle Point. The Eagles can virtually cinch the District 6 A-2 southern di vision toga with a verdict over the Cougars since Rogue Riv er, a cellar sharer, is the only other rival left on the Eagle Point league schedule. IV fell from the unbeaten ranks in the loop last Saturday, 26 to 0 victim of Henley. Other tangles in the Rogue salte for Friday will be Phoe nix at Rogue River and Hen ley at Glendale. School Heads Redistricting A proposal foi redistricting Class A-l high schools in the Willamette valley and south ern, southwestern and central Oregon for athletic purposes will be discussed at a meeting here Wednesday of superin tendents and principals in present District 6. Representatives of Ashland, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Crater and Medford High schools will convene for noon Aussies Get Golf Title Of World St. Andrews, Scotland-ttJPD-Pardon the, Australians for laughing at the U. S. claim that it is the world's No. 1 golfing nation. . A four-man Aussie team had good reason to think otherwise today after beating a similar American team to win the first world amateur team golf championship. The Australians achieved their victory in an 18 -hole playoff Monday when Bruce Devlin and Bob Stevens sank long putts for birdies on the final green. That gave Aus tralia the match, 222 strokes to 224, plus the huge silver Ei senhower Trophy - that went with it. Paced by Coe Paced by Charlie Coe of Oklahoma City, Okla., the U. S. took a temporary lead on the 13th hole but three of the four Australian players shot par or sub-par golf on the back nine to wrap up the title. Devlin sank an 18-footer for a - birdie three on the 18th green and Stevens, the Aus tralian captain, canned an eight-footer on the same hole. That left it entirley up to Coe. He would have to get down in two on the 383-yard 18th to tie the match again. Coe reached the green in two but required two putts and that was that. Linfield Jayvees Win McMinnville-(UPD- Linf ield's junior varsity won its fourth straight football game Mon day night, 40-25, over , Port land State JV.

The meeting has been called by Medford School Superintendent Leon ard Mayf ield to sound out dis trict sentiment on the plan. Mayfield was appointed by the Oregon School Activities association last week to a five man committee to study the matter. The special OSAA committee is to convene at Eugene on Thursday morning. Old Rivalries Sought Willamette valley schools, who wish to restore old rivial ries and apparently also achieve a closer knit circuit, have proposed the change. They want Springfield, North and South Eugene, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Al bany and North and South Salem all in District 8. They would put Marshfield and 'Roseburg into District 6 with Medford, Grants Pass and Klamath' Falls and Crater and Ashland into District 5 with Willamette,1 Cottage Grove, Douglas, Coquille and North Bend. District 8 now includes Al bany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home and two Salem schools plus the central Ore gon schools, Bend, Prineville and Redmond which probably would be switched to District 7. Marshfield, North Bend, Cottage Grove and Roseburg are now in District 5 with Springfield and the two Eu gene schools. Coquille, Doug las and ; Willamette are now competing in different A-2 dis tricts. . Prothro Plans Back Changes Corvallis -(UPD- Coach Tom my Prothro of Oregon State indicated today he may shake up his backfield before the Idaho game at Moscow Sat urday. Prothro indicated he may switch Dainard Paulson back to tailback from fullback and put wingback John Horrillo in the fullback position where injuries to both Nub Beamer and Jim Stinnette crippled the Beavers. He also said Paulson might start over both Paul Lowe and Leon Criner at tailback. ' . . Derald Swift, who also has been on the injured list, might get the starting call at the blocking tfack spot over Gary Lukehart. With Horrillo. at fullback! Earnel Durden prob ably would .get the call at right half, or wingback. Despite Oregon State's 28-0 loss to Wyoming, Prothro was not disheartened. "It isn't over yet," he said. "We've been in tight places before when, we didn't look good." KING REDLEGS COACH Cincinnati-(UPD-Clyde King will return to the major leagues next season as the Cincinnati- Redleg's pitching coach.
