Louisiana State, Mississippi Clash in Meetin' of Unbeaten By NORMAN MILLER United Press International Louisiana State and Missis sippi, two of the perfect-record giants of college football, clash Saturday night to deter mine which shall go on and challenge other powers like Iowa, Army, Ohio State and Auburn for the national championship. LSU, ranked fifth in the na tion by the United Press Inter national Board of Coaches, is a six-point favorite to beat sixth-ranked Ole Miss in this heralded "meetin of the un beaten" at Baton Rouge, La. Both have 6-0 records. This game has two other important facets beside the high national ranking and preservation of a spotless rec ord. The winner is a good bet to go on to the Southeastern conference championship and fall heir to a berth in the Sugar Bowl New Year's Day. Quarterbacks Bobby Frank lin and Billy Brewer appear to make Mississippi the better passing team, but LSU boasts a superior "grind 'em down" running game because of half backs Billy Cannon and John ny Robinson, and fullback Tommy Davis. LSU's line makes up in speed for what it lacks in weight, compared to the Rebels. Sooner Over Colorado Another perfect record and a likely bowl berth are at stake at Boulder, Colo., where undefeated and untied Colo rado takes on seventh-ranked Oklahoma in a Big Eight Con ference showdown. Coach Bud Wilkinson's men are fa vored by seven. The winner undoubtedly will be the con ference representative in the Orange Bowl. Although the Sooners have not lost a conference game in their last 67, they were held to a 21-21 tie by the Buffs in 1952 and were forced to come from behind before beating Colorado in their last two games. Colorado, ranked 11th this week, is one of the na tion's four remaining perfect record teams. It hasn't beaten Oklahoma since 1912. Rutgers, the fourth of the unbeaten - untied major col leges, takes on a small-college toughie in Delaware at New ark, Del., but is favored to keep its record unsullied. The teams occupying the top four rankings all with records of four victories against one tie all are fa vored, but by widely varying margins. Iowa Favored Iowa, ranked tops in the na tion and hungry for a Rose Bowl bid, is picked by eight at home against beleaguered Michigan, second-ranked Army is picked by 32 points over Colgate at West Point, N.Y.; third-ranked Ohio State is six over Northwestern at Evanston, 111., and fourth ranked Auburn was six over Florida at Gainesville, Fla. The No. 1 intersectional bat tle of the day finds Notre Dame a three-point favorite over Navy at Baltimore, Md. In the game to be televised nationally by NBC, Wiscon sin is picked by six points over Michigan State at East Lansing, Mich. Both have slim Rose Bowl hopes. Other Big Games There also are big games in the Pacific Coast, Southwest and Atlantic Coast confer f ences, involving the Rose, Cotton and Orange Bowls. Oregon State is a slim one point pick over California at Corvallis, Ore., in the races for the PCC title: Southern Methodist was favored by three over Texas at Austin, Tex., and Clemson was an 8 point choice at home against Wake Forest in the AAC. In Friday night games, New Mexico was at Denver, Vanderbilt at Miami, Fla. and Texas Tech at Tulane.

Starting in the Rook back field will be Steve Picard of Seaside and Frank Hawley of Vale, who were opponents last year in the state A-2 prep finals. The Rooks also have Don Kasso, a highly-touted tailback from Berkeley who has been bothered by a knee injury. Fine Runners Oregon boasts fine running backs in Sam Spooner of San Diego and Richie Lamb of North Marion. The Ducklings also have two great end pros pects in Kent Petersen of Long Beach, Calif., and Greg Willener of Eugene. The Rooks will use the single-wing formation and the Frosh the split-T. Dick West of Hood River will start at tailback for the Rooks while Jim Suter of Portland's Wash ington ' high will start at quarterback for the Frosh. Jim Funston, ex-Medford High all-stater, is listed as starting guard for the Oregon State college Rooks for their grid fray tonight with the Uni versity, of Oregon Frosh. OCC Title At Stake United Press International The championship of the Oregon Collegiate Conference will be at stake Saturday when Oregon Tech meets Ore gon College of Education at Monmouth. Both teams have 3-0 OCC records and this is their final league game. Elsewhere, Eastern Oregon travels, to College of Idaho for a non-conference game; Port land State hosts Linfield of the Northwest Conference and Southern Oregon plays the Seattle Ramblers independ ent team at Ashland. Oregon Tech is a slight fa vorite to dump OCE but the Monmouth school is pointing for this game. Oregon College has seven backs among the 590 19 ball carriers in the conference. In league action so far Ore gon Tech has scored 98 points to 27 for its opponents and OCE had given up but 14 points while scoring 62. miiiir ir?w, Phone SP 2-6251 r J Carolina at Tennessee, Vir ginia Tech at North Carolina State, Virginia Military at Vir ginia, George Washington at West Virginia.

Taken On kies, who have lost four straight. Coach Len Casanova said either Len Read or Don Lau denslager would take over for Tourville at right half and that Will Reeve would replace Schaffeld in the line. Pointing For Huskies Both were hurt against California last week. Oregon was pointing for the Huskies, a team Casanova said he would "rather beat at times more than Oregon State." Washington briefly halted Oregon's drive to the Rose Bowl last season with a 13-6 upset win in Portland and members of the present Duck varsity have yet to win over the Huskies. Casanoya holds only one win in seven starts against Washington. Oregon now is 2-3 for the season. Washington is 2-4. Jackson Nudges Wilson Graders Jackson edged Wilson 6 to 0 yesterday in the play-off for seventh and eighth places in Medford city grade school football. Joe Cuozzo broke loose on a long end run for Jackson then went a shorter distance for the touchdown. Wilson had a run to the end zone nullified by a penalty. ON ACTIVE LIST New York-(UPD-Frank Sel vy, recentuy obtained from the St. Louis Hawks, has been placed on the active list by the New York Knicker bockers.

Marshfield, Roseburg in Big Tussle United Press International Top-rated Jefferson High school continued its red hot pace Thursday night by wal loping Benson 54-0 to gain at least a tie for the Portland prep football title. Raye Renfro, Jeff's fine fullback, scored four touch downs to run his record smashing season's total to 139 points. Norm Patera of Cleve land, who held the lead until Thursday night, was held to one touchdown as his team edged Lincoln 18-12. Patera now has 124 points. In other games Roosevelt, ranked seventh in the state, kept a chance for at least a tie by downing Franklin 31 12, Madison eked out an 8-7 win over Wilson and Wash ington waxed Grant 44-0. Two key games' are sched uled tonight. Marshfield, ranked sixth in the coaches' poll, plays Roseburg, which is eighth. Baker and Pendle ton, both ranked in the second 10, put their unbeaten Blue Mountain Conference marks on the line at Pendleton.

Mickey Wright Average Champ Evanston, 111. - Long-hitting Mickey Wright, tall Ladies' PGA pro from Chula Vista, Calif., has won the 1958 per formance average champion ship by virtue of a blazing finish. The friendly blonde won two of her last three tourna ments, and finished second in the other to win the statistics championship (similar to base ball's batting averages) as compiled by Golf Digest, the national newsstand golf maga zine. Miss Wright's winning .819 average placed her just ahead of Louise Suggs (.809), Mar lene Hagge (.805), Beverly Hanson (.800) and Patty Berg (.799),. all of whom had a chance to win almost up to the last putt. Miss Suggs, who now has been second twice in the four years the averages have been compiled, missed the final event on the 1958 LPGA tour because of an ankle injury. She had been leading up to that tournament, the Jackson (Miss.) Open. Mickey's winning ways broke up a three-year string by Miss Berg. Medford Motors Takes Edsel Cars The Edsel car dealership in Medford has been purchased by the Medford Motors, 225 South Riverside ave., from Hugh Coleman who operated the Coleman-Edsel Sales, inc., North Fir and Sixth sts.

During the past summer, this world famous salmon angling area produced more fish for more anglers for a. longer period of time than ever before recorded. Final statistics on the lower Columbia sport fisheries com piled cooperatively by the game commission and the state fish commission reveal that from July 1 through Sept. 8, 60,790 anglers took slightly more than 65,000 sal mon. This is an increase of about 12,000 in both the num ber of anglers participating and the number of fish taken than was recorded in 1957. More than 27,000 of the fish taken were chinook salmon, while close to 38,000 were silver salmon. Since some angling was under way before recording began on July 1 and continued lightly following September 8, the entire catch for 'the lower river and offshore fish eris would undoubtdly tally higher than the actual com puted figures. Catch records are statistically computed from Coast Guard boat counts, moorage operator reports, and systematic creel checks. Pointers Defeat Ashland 12-0 Central Point-Central Point eighth grade won its fifth grid game in a row yesterday, playing at Ashland. Both Pointer scores were in the second half. Gary Wald ran about 35 yards for one touchdown and four for the other. T Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues, . Drain Tila 727 W. McAndrewt Ph. SP 2-4107 OSC Mentally "Up" For Bear Scuffle By HOWARD APPLEGATE . Portland - (UPD - Warning to California: Oregon State's football team is "mentally up" for its crucial game with the Golden Bears at Corvallis Saturday. Beaver Club Last Tough Foe For Cal United Press International The California Bear express looks like it is on the track to the Rose Bowl but the Ore gon State Beavers will try to derail them Saturday. The Beavers have the ad vantage of playing on their home ground in the Pacific Northwest and they look like the toughest of the remaining Bear opponents who include UCLA, already beaten by OSC, the toothless Washing ton Huskies, and the Stanford Indians whose feathers have been dragging more often than not this football season. Cal has a 3-0 Pacific Coast conference record against the Beavers' 3-1 and the winner of the Saturday contest may well go to the Rose Bowl for the dubious honor of meeting one of those ferocious Big Ten teams from the Middle West. Bruins-Cougars UCLA which dropped a 20 19 decision to Stanford last Saturday is minus a half dozen seniors whose careers were cut short by conference penalties, and has a 1-2 league record. UCLA takes on Wash ington State which has an identical mark. The Cougars appear to be going no place but fast since they lost quar terback Bobby Newman with injuries. In another league game, Stanford (2-1) battles South ern California (1-3) at Palo Alto. The Trojans, like the Bruins, are bereft of seniors, but they still have a good chance against the in-and-out Indians. Oregon (2-2) and Washing ton (0-3) complete the league schedule. The Ducks, with their sterling defense, should take this one if they can push over just one touchdown-a job they have found most dif ficult in the past. Idaho-Spartans In other Coast games, Idaho which as a 2-4 record, meets independent San Jose State FliD a coin on this one. College of the Pacific which started off like a moon rocket-a good one, that is- goes a-traveling again and the Tigers better beware. They lost to Marquette on a roaa trip last week end and go farther east this time-against Boston College. Two other teams are head ing south of the border al though they're not on xne iam. Cal Poly,v Pomona, plays Mexico University Institucioa . . . make it Mexico Poly. Other Coast games: Pep nerdine vs. Long Beach State; Claremont-Mudd vs. La- Verne; Cal Tech vs. Whittier; Pacific University vs. Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo; Cal Aggies Jayvees vs. U.S. River side; U. C. Santa Barbara vs. Occidental; Sacramento State vs. Pomona; Claremont vs. Redlands; Humboldt State vs. Chico State; Fresno State vs. San Diego State; Nevada vs. University of San Diego; San Francisco State vs. Cal Aggies. Texas Suspends Exzard Charles ' Austin, Tex. - (UPD - Texas closed its boxing doors to former champion Ezzard Charles Thursday, telling the 37-year-old fighter the action was taken "not only for the best interest of boxing but also for your own health." Charles, once a boxer of great skill, took a pitiful beat in a Mondav nifiht in losing by a knockout to nationally unknown Donnie Fleeman, the Texas lightheavy weight champion. Charles' indefinite suspen sion, was announced by Alton Erickson, supervisor of box ing and wrestling for the Texas Bureau of Labor Sta tistics. Erickson made his an nouncement in a letter to Charles. HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE McAndrewt at Court SP 3-9068 John Thomas, assistant coach at Oregon State, told an alumni luncheon Thursday that "for the first time this year the team has responded and it looks ready to give its effort of the season" despite some key injuries. Thomas also said Oregon State expected California to be its "toughest game." Rose Bowl Favorite The winner will be favored to go to the Rose Bowl. Cali fornia leads the Pacific Coast conference with a 3-0 mark and Oregon State is 3-1. Cal has won its last four straight. The fact that Oregon State is "up" for this game could be important. Coaches said the Beavers were "listless" in practice before losing to Southern Cal 21-0. When Ore gon State was upset 28-0 by Wyoming' it didn't have all American tackle candidate Ted Bates nor fullback Nub Beamer in action. Both are ready to go Saturday. Thomas said four Beavers were unable to practice this week. Grimm Mason, one of the two top tailbacks in Oregon State's single wing, has a bad knee and may be out for the season. ' Gary Lukehart, the regular blocking back, suf fered a mild case of blood poi soning and got out of the hos pital only last night. Jerry Doman, a regular end, suf fered two broken wrist bones against Washington last week. And Ed Kaohelaulii, regular tackle from Honolulu, has a sprained wrist. Two May Play Thomas said it was hoped at least "two of them" could play but that Mason definite ly was out. Thomas, who has seen Cali fornia games pictures, called California's Joe Kapp "in every respect an all -American." He praised Dainard Paulson of Inglewood, Calif., who has taken over as the No. 1 tailback for Oregon State. "I've never met a boy with better attitude," Thomas said. Paul Christopulos, athletic publicity director for Califor nia, said the Bears expected their "toughest game" of the season and pointed out that California hadn't won a game at Corvallis for 38 years. The Bears also will be up against Coach Tommy Prothro's home record of 14 wins and one tie at home without defeat since he came to Oregon State four years ago. Small College Label Incorrect For Miss Sou By CLIFF SESSIONS Hattiesburg, Miss. (UPD - Officials at Mississippi South ern don't like the "small col lege" label that's pinned on their football team despite its No. 1 ranking in the United Press International ratings. Reliable sources report that the top school officials are gloomy over the "small col lege" designation of South ern, which actually has more students than the University of Mississippi, a "major" foot ball power. The classifications by the NCAA are based strictly on the football schedules and not the number of students. To be considered "major," a school must play at least half its games against "major," op ponents for two consecutive seasons. Schedule "Major" Ton Early reports on the South erners' 1959 schedule indi cate the school may be pro moted to the "major" group within the next few years. Already lined up as '59 foes are Auburn, North Carolina State, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech and West Texas State. Get' PRESTONE with exclusive MAGNETIC FILM PREVENTS RUST... PREVENTS FREEZE'UPS!
