believes his underdogs can
spring an upset.
The other bowl hopefuls,
national powers and the two

Rutgers, unbeaten, untied
and unranked, is a solid fa
vorite to win its seventh
straight game against Lafay

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

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.

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

miss this weeX's game with
injuries suffered in the Rook
victory.
The two stout Oregon lines
which held the Rooks score
less until the final period will
be intact for the Washington

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

would take an unlikely com
bination of circumstances. The
Hawkeyes are 17l point fa
vorites over Minnesota but

Sooners Lopsided Favorites
Oklahoma, ranked No. 5, is
a lopsided choice to run its
unbeaten streak in the Big

meets Iowa State. Colorado is
rated three points over Mis

ence title and Orange Bowl
bid on Nov. 15.
Oregon State, which took

fighting to uphold the "honor"
of the Southwest conference
Mississippi, rebounding from
the LSU shock, is an equally
strong favorite against Hous

Irish Over Pitt
Auburn, No. 4 but needing
a "big win" to claim national
honors, is a seven-point pick
over Mississippi State; Notre

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;

Pin Fives Clash
Here on Sunday
Second week .end of compe

traveling league is billed for
Sunday at Medford Bowling

Five-man and five-woman
teams from Ashland, Grants
Pass, Myrtle Creek and Med

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

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.

Maxwell's wedge was his

7,004-yard Cherokee
course, which the pros say is
one of the roughest in the
country.
That sizzling 64 game Max

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

in a battle to break the Pa
cific Coast Conference log
jam.
As the whistle-tooters prac

Bowl with a 4-1 record but is
a one-point underdog to Wash

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. The Web

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
