Important Scraps On Sunday Menu Bf FRED DOWN United Press International Syracuse attempts to take a stronger grip on a Cotton or Orange Bowl bid when it opposes dangerous Boston uni versity tonight in a game that starts a week end schedule which promises trouble for 6everal of the Nation's top 10 Syracuse, ranked 12th in the country, is a 12-point fa vorite over thrice-beaten BU but Terrier Coach Steve Sinko believes his underdogs can spring an upset. The other bowl hopefuls, national powers and the two remaining unbeaten and un tied major teams all see ac tion Saturday. These games include important struggles in the Big Ten. the Big Eight and the Pacific Coast confer ence plus such attractive in- tersectional pairings as Army vs. Rica and Mississippi vs Houston. LUS Over Duke Rutgers, unbeaten, untied and unranked, is a solid fa vorite to win its seventh straight game against Lafay ette Saturday afternoon and Louisiana State, the country's other unbeaten and untied major team, is a 13-point pick Frosh Vie At Seattle University of Oregon, Eu gene-Oregon's freshman foot ball team, fresh from a 40 to 18 victory over the Oregon State Rooks in their first game, will try to make it two straight at Seattle Friday against the Washington Pups, The Husky Frosh, like the Ducklings, have played one game and won it on the road at the expense of Idaho's first year team. Coach Norm Pol lum'm Washington crew was Idle last week and has been nreoarintf for this game for two weeks. A surprisingly effective passing attack run by quarter backs Jim auter oi roTuaua and -Gary Albright of Mil waukie accounted for the easy victory over the Rooks and will again play a major role in the Duckling's offensive plans for this week end. Suter will again head the first unit backfield with Mickey Bruce and Bill Evan son at halfback and Mike Gaetcher at fullback. Al bright's backfield will include halfbacks Frank Guisti and Rickey Lamb and fullback Bob Stangel. Two of the Ducklings who played well last week, half back Sam Spooner on the first unit and fullback Gary Far- ney on the second team, will miss this weeX's game with injuries suffered in the Rook victory.

The second unit has Mike Sparlin and George Fouch at ends, Judd Brown and Bill Payne at tackle, George Luna and Dave Eagle at guard and Wally Wolfe at center. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Duke in a Saturday game. LSU, ranked second after its 14-0 victory over Mississippi, is the lead ing candidate for the South eastern conference's lucrative Sugar Bowl bid. Iowa, ranked No. 1, could wrap up the Big Ten's Rose Bowl invitational although it would take an unlikely com bination of circumstances. The Hawkeyes are 17l point fa vorites over Minnesota but can't clinch the bowl bid un less Wisconsin upsets North- western and Ohio State upsets Purdue. Northwestern is a seven-point pick and Purdue is a lva-point choice." Sooners Lopsided Favorites Oklahoma, ranked No. 5, is a lopsided choice to run its unbeaten streak in the Big Eight to 69 games when it meets Iowa State. Colorado is rated three points over Mis souri against which Oklahoma figures to clinch the confer ence title and Orange Bowl bid on Nov. 15. Oregon State, which took over the Pacific Coast confer ence lead last Saturday is fa vored over Washington State and California, still in the running for the title, is rated 13 points over UCLA In the big Far West games. Army, No. 3, will throw its savage inside - and - outside pronnrl attack nt a Rini toam which hopes to gain the Cot ton Bowl bid and will be fighting to uphold the "honor" of the Southwest conference Mississippi, rebounding from the LSU shock, is an equally strong favorite against Hous ton. Irish Over Pitt Auburn, No. 4 but needing a "big win" to claim national honors, is a seven-point pick over Mississippi State; Notre Dame is rated four points over a powerful Pittsburgh team which has only a so-so 4-2-1 record but is a match for any college team in the land; Texas Christian will run up the score on over-matched Marquette; 16th-ranked Or- ange-or-Gator bowl aspirant North Carolina is 17 Vt. points over Virginia and Clemson, ranked No. 18 and a strong contender for the Orange Bowl, is a four-point underdog to Georgia Tech, in other key games. Alabama is a one-point pick over Tulane and Florida State it favored by a half -point over Miami, Fla. In tonight's other major games. Pin Fives Clash Here on Sunday Second week .end of compe tition in a southern Oregon traveling league is billed for Sunday at Medford Bowling lanes. Five-man and five-woman teams from Ashland, Grants Pass, Myrtle Creek and Med ford will meet starting at noon. Each team will roll three games against two dif ferent rivals. At Ashland last Sunday Medford men splits with Grants Pass and beat Ash land. The local ladies divided with Ashland and lost to GP. Although the Sunday match is just a week after the first, the contention is gen erally scheduled for every other week. 4 AABC TO SPONSOR Battle Creek, Mich.-flJPB-The Connie Mack baseball league for 16, 17 and 18-year-old players will have its first world series next summer un der the auspices of the Ameri can Amateur Baseball con gress, AABC president C. O. Brown said today. The series was tentatively scheduled for Aug. 26-30 at a still undeter mined Midwest site, Brown said. The Connie Mack league has been in operation three years and had 600 teams in 20 states and British Colum bia last season. over night Shaw Gets Second Chance With Colts Baltimore, Md. - (CPU -Quarterback George Shaw will be the man in the saddle and on the spot Sunday when the un defeated Baltimore Colts play the Giants before a sell-out crowd in New York's Yankee Stadium. Shaw, runner-up for Na tional Football league rookie of the year honors in 1955 will replace the Colts' bril liant injured quarterback Johnny Unitas. Unitas suffer ed chest injuries during last Sunday's 56-0 rout of the Green Bay Packers and will be sidelined for three or four games. It is an interesting situa tion. Shaw was going great guns until he suffered a severe leg iniurv playing against the Chicago Bears in'1956. Unitas, then an obscure and unknown pro hopeful, came off the bench and ran the Colts in sensational style until he broke a couple of ribs in a Dileuo last Sunday. Now Shaw has his second chance. The kid from Oregon is a quiet fellow and has been re luctant to talk about the situa tion. But Shaw did say that no player liked to sit on the bench and added that he was anxious to make good and not let the team down when an opportunity to play arose Shaw hasn't played enough this year to rank in the statis tics but his figures are lm pressive. He has completed 15 of 19 passes for a phenomenal average of 78.9 per cent. Three of Shaw's passes were for touchdowns after he went in late in the second quarter against Green Bay Shaw typically dismissed this with the remark that he had a cushion of 28 points to work on when he went in. Baltimore rooters believe he will make good. Shaw definitely is no front runner, as his own remark might seem to imply. For another, the Colts have racked up six victories in a row and a team that is rolling and has that "championship" feel is hard to stop. Then too, the Oregon sharpshooter will be taking aim at a team that has intercepted few passes has interectped fewer passes league, five. Incidentally, the league has ruled that Unitas' 21-game touchdown pass streak is still alive and that he can try to lengthen it when his ribs heal. It is second only to the league record of 23 set by Cecil Is- bell of the Packers. Oregon Will Get Half-Million Portland-Oregon's share in federal aid funds for the fis cal year under the Dingell Johnson and Pittman-Robert-son acts for fish and game res toration will amount to slight ly more than one-half million dollars it was learned today from the United States De partment of Interior. The apportionment for Ore gon was $512,148 wmcn is about $12,000 less than was received for the program last year. Of the one-half million, slightly more than $103,000 is available for fish restoration programs and just over $409,- 000 for game restoration. The formula upon which the Federal Aid money is ap portioned is prescribed by law and based on land area of each state and license holders. Federal aid money must be matched by the state on the basis of $3 federal aid to $1 state aid. In actual practice the states carry out all proj ects with their own funds and are reimbursed for up to 75 per cent bf the project costs. To obtain, benefits of the federal grants the states sub mit . project proposals to the bureau of sports fisheries and wildlife." Such proposals may consist of surveys, investiga tions, land acquisitions, land and water development, man agement of restoration areas, and maintenance of complet ed areas. -TfClfiM CONCRETE C?

Bill Maxwell Paces Carling Atlanta-UPD-The chase was on today in the third round of the $25,000 Carling Open golf tournament and the man the pack was out to nab was Billy Maxwell, the Odes sa, Tex., sharp-shooter. Maxwell's wedge was his best shooting iron Thursday as he blazed an eight-under-par 64 over the recently-constructed 7,004-yard Cherokee course, which the pros say is one of the roughest in the country. That sizzling 64 game Max well a two-day total of 136 for a two stroke lead over his nearest rival, Bill Collins of Baltimore, Md. Collins, who shared the opening-round lead with a 4-under 68, toured the course in 70 Thursday for a halfway mark of 138. Julius Boros, Mid Pines, N.C., the only "old pro" among the top five scorers atfer 36 hiles, had a 6-under-par 66 Thursday second best round of the tournament for a third place 140. Somethin's Gotta Give in PCC Gridiron Chase This Week End By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press International "Somethin's gotta give" this Saturday when Oregon State, Calif ornia and Washing ton State take on separate foes in a battle to break the Pa cific Coast Conference log jam. As the whistle-tooters prac ticed their last F above high C, Oregon State leads the Rose Bowl with a 4-1 record but is a one-point underdog to Wash ington State for their critical game at Pullman. The Cou OSC's Bowl Mettle Tested at Pullman Corvallis - (UPD -The ques tion of whether Oregon State's football team is good enough to play in the Rose Bowl next Jan. 1 should be answered Saturday. Coach Tommy Prothro's Beavers, heading the PCC race with a 4-1 record, move into Pullman to play the aerial-m i n d e d Washington State Cougars, who have Pasa dena dreams of their own. Prothro was worried that his team might be "down" for the Cougar clash. He said the Beavers were "high" for the California game last week end and, as Prothro puts it, "no one can expect them to reach that same level a week later." Oregon State is still bother Webfoots Favored Against Stanford Eugene (UPD Oregon's crippled football team, which has scored only one touch down in losing its last three games, found itself in the favored role today for its regionally-televised game with Stanford here Saturday. Game time is 1:30 p.m. (p.s.t.). Coach Len Casanova said that Capt. Ron Stover, his outstanding end; left guard Joe Schaffeld and right half back Charlie Tourville prob ably would not be able to play because of injuries. End Al den Kimbrough of the second unit also is nursing an injury any may see only limited ac tion. Wet Field Drill Casanova has been drilling his team on a wet field this week, trying to find a scor ing punch. The Webfoots have been able to save the ball consistently but were unable to score against Washington or Washington State and were held to one touchdown while losing to California. Oregon has been favored in every game it has played this season except the Okla homa contest, which it lost 6-0. Casanova said he feared Stanford's passing attack which has improved in recent games and also the running of halfback Rick McMillin. The Indians also have one of the best ends on the coast in Chris Buford. It is Oregon's last home game of the season.

Second place California (3-1) trails the Beavers by a half -game and is a 13-point favorite over a UCLA team which has lost five out of seven. Trojan Dark Horse The dark horse in the pack is fourth place Southern Cal ifornia, which has been pro nounced pure after being banned from Pasadena for two years because of gridiron vio lations. The Trojans, going af ter their third straight win in ed by several injuries and tailback Grimm Mason is not scheduled to play. However, Paul Lowe's fine showing against California last week along with the steady playing of Dainard Paulson at the key tailback slot has eased worries in this position. And tackle Ted Bates is healthy. That means trouble for any OSC opponent. Washington State, with Bobby Newman still expected to remain on the sidelines, has lost two PCC games and another defeat would just about kill its Rose Bowl hopes. The Cougars mauled UCLA 38-20 last week end without Newman and have a topgrade passer in young Davey Wilson. geles Nov. 15, Oregon State at Corvallis Nov. 22 and Miami at Miami in a nationally-televised game Dec. 6.

The harriers, Roger John son, Ray Smith, Glenn Kaye, Steve Drew and Mark Nor ton, were taken north by Vera Wolthoff of the high sehool faculty. Medford runners have been in only meets this fall, losing both to Grants Pass. They dropped a 20 to 35 verdict last Monday. Johnson finish ed second in the race, Smith sixth, Norton eighth, Kaye ninth and Drew 10th.

A top-notch clash of the in dependents is on deck Satur day night in San Jose where the resurgent Spartans meet a College of the Pacific squad which has been racked up by a nighmare of injuries and is caught in a three-game losing streak. For those who like to stay in the parlor, Stanford is at Oregon in the regionally tele vised game of the day. The Ducks understandably are 12 point choices over the Indians who also have a long hospital list and apparently were not too long on talent to begin with. Coach Len Casanova of Or egon also has moaned that three key men halfback Charlie Tourville, guard Joe Schaffield and end Alden Kimbrough may not be able to play. Beavers-Cougars Oregon State comes off a 14-8 win over California while Washington State, which was thumped by the Bears, 34-14, belted UCLA, 38-20 last week. Coach Tommy Prothro of the Beavers has gone on record that he fears his team may have put in its "top effort" of the season and is worried that Gary Lukehart, the blocking back in his single wing ma chine, may not be able to go. Idaho's Vandals, who held Washington State to an 8-0 squeaker this year then col lapsed before San Jose State, 41-6, try to "get well" at Mon tana where the Grizzlies have lost all seven of their games.

Final Game Set in OCC United Press International . Only one game is left on the Oregon Collegiate confer ence football schedule, and that will decide who finishes in last place. Eastern Oregon travels to Ashland Saturday to meet Southern Oregon. At present, Eastern Oregon is in last place with an 0-3 mark while Southern Oregon is 1-2. If Eastern should win, those two teams and Portland State will finish in the basement with 1-3 records. If EOC loses, it gets the cellar 'all by itself. Champion Oregon Tech has a game scheduled at Klam ath Falls with Moffet Air Force Base and Oregon col lege, which finished second in the OCC, travels north to play British Columbia. Port land State is at Whitworth in another non-conference game. 2198 . - a local i III Dili 1398 $ 1398 $ 1098 Phone SP 2-8037 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, November 7, 193S 11 Golfdom Names Evanston, Ill.-Ernie Vossler of Fort Worth, Tex., and Bon nie Randolph of Columbus, O., have been named profes sional golfs "most improved pros" for 1958 by Golf Digest magazine.
