California Bears Seek 'Must' Victory Over Stanford Eleven By SCOTT BRAILLIE United Press International "Beat Stanford!" And California must do exactly that Saturday or turn the Rose Bowl picture into a methematical jumble which might result in a hurry call for Dr. Glenn Seaborg, the Bears' Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Cal was favored by 12 points to hand the sluggish In dians their eighth defeat of the year. But if Coach Jack Curtice managed to pull off his third upset of the season, then either Washington State, Oregon State or even South ern California which was further down in the standings conceivably would take the field against Iowa on New Years Day. These three coast teams also were favored to beat back time-honored opposition. Cougars-Bearers Washington State, tied with Oregon State in second spot and both a half-game behind California, was an eight point choice over the disappointing Huskies at Seattle. The odds makers also rated Coach Tom my Prothro's Oregon State MedfordTbibune SIPCDDBTTS Beavers, Webfoots Vie in Civil War Br HOWARD APPLEGATE United Press international Co rva 11 is-4UPD-Th e weather man today forecast partly sunny and warm weather for Saturday's 62nd renewal of the Oregon-Oregon State foot ball rivalry, -oldest in the West. A jam-packed Parker sta dium crowd approaching 27, 000 is expected for the con- Cage Loop Session On Sunday What is hoped to be the fi nal meeting in plans to organ ize a Southern Oregon inde pendent basketball league will be held at the Holland hotel dining room in Medford on Sunday, Nov. 23, at 2 p.m. Teams already committed to the league are Hawkinson's Tire of Medford, Southern Oregon College JV's of Ash land, Butte Falls, Grants Pass and Riddle. It is hoped at least one more team can be found to round out the league. Invited to attend the meeting are representatives from the Oregon National Guard in Medford, Glendale, Eagle Point and any other team which desires to seek a fran chise in the new circuit. The schedule will be drawn following the Sunday meeting and play is expected to start early in December. Trapshoot Set Sunday Central Point Junior Cham ber of Commerce will serve the lunch Sunday at the pre- Thanksgiving turkey shoot of Medford Gun club The shoot is to open at 10 a.m. and last through the day. It is open to the public with class events in 16-yard and handicap firing and partici pation available also to non- shooters. Hams and turkeys will be prizes. The shoot Is slated rain or shine and is the first major affair of the new shooting season. Syria Communist Purge Ordered Berut -(UPD- President Ga mal Abdel Nasser has ordered a purge of Communists and fellow travelers in Syria, and it is expected to take place shortly, usually reliable Syr ian sources said today. The sources said the purge would concentrate on Com munists and their outspoken sympathizers in the civil ser vice and government. They indicated that the reason behind Nasser's order was a combination of concern over Communist activity in neighboring Iraq and dissatis faction with the Reds' refus al to heed his injunction against taking part in poli tics. Another Portland Youth Sentenced Portland (UPBl The crack down against youthful law breakers continued here Thursday when a 19-year-old youth was sentenced to eight years in prison for a holdup. Melvin Clarence Peterson was sentenced by Circuit Judge James R. Bain for a $75 holdup Aug. 14 of bus driver David L. Patterson on a Rose City Transit bus. Two others. Bruce Victor Jones, and Paul Russell Kraemer, both 16, were sentenced to five year prison terms last week for their part in "the robbery. test, upon which hinges the title hopes of Oregon State. The weather man said the temperature should be around 60 degrees at the 1:30 p.m. game time. The bright word from the weather man after nearly a week of rain undoubtedly was welcome news to both coaches Len Casanova of Oregon and Tommy Prothro of Oregon State as well as to fans. Casa nova's Oregon team has had trouble enough with its of fense even on dry fields. Ore gon State hoped for good playing conditions so it would be able to mix passes with its powerful running game. Four Have Bowl Chance Prothro has won an out right title and co-title in his last two seasons. If the Bea vers win and Stanford upsets Califo-nia, Oregon State would get at least a share of this year's PCC crown. The Rose Bowl nod then would be up to officials of the nine PCC schools. Going into Saturday's ac tion, California, Oregon State, Washington State and South ern California all hold a chance for a trip to Pasadena, Cal., of course, can settle things by winning from Stan ford. . -. Out of the veil of secrecy which has hung over both practice fields this week came two items of news. Mason a Starter Prothro said Grimm Mason probably would start at tail back for Oregon State. Mason reinsured a knee Oct. 25 against Washington and has been out since. End Ron Stover, the pass catching hero of Oregon's Rose Bowl team, will be able to play. He has been sidelined recently with a bruised shin. All the Ducks were said to be ready to play except halfback Charlie Tourville, who rein jured his leg against UCLA. The game will be the final one for a number of seniors, including OSC's two great stars, tackle Ted Bates and fullback Nub Beamer. Bates is rated as one of the best tackles in the country and it may be because of him that the - odds-makers have in stalled the Beavers as slight choices to take their 25th win over Oregon. The Ducks hold 29 victories and there have been eight ties. On the season so far Ore gon State is 6-3, Oregon is 3-5. The game will be broadcast but not televised. Beavers six points better than Oregon while Southern California was a seven-point choice to defeat UCLA. Other West Coast football will see Iowa State at San Jose State Friday night while College of the Pacific is at San Diego State and San Francisco State invades Fres no State in Saturday games. Coach Jim Sutherland of Washington State, battling to get his Cougars their first Rose Bowl date since 1931, proclaimed during the week, "We're still in the fight." And he was set to go with . the same powerful crew which tore down College of the Pa cific, 34-0, last Saturday. Jim Owens of Washington, satisfied by the way his line performed last weekend in holding Cal to a 12-7 win, planned to counter with the same bastion against the Cou gars. California's Pete Elliott, re fusing to be intoxicated by the sweet smell of success, worked on secret plays to overcome the Indians and sideline observers noted the Bears line would be outweigh ed about 23 pounds to the man. But California still had quarterback Joe Kapp, master of the option play, while Cur tice learned that halfback Jim Byrer was through for the season. This somewhat damp ened enthusiasm which had arisen with news that Rick McMillen, the Indians' best halfback, was off the sick list after a month. Tommy Prothro, out to keep his perfect home game record intact at Corvallis, hustled Oregon State's Beavers be hind closed gates for secret workouts. ' Len Casanova of Oregon groaned, that end Ron Stover and halfback Charlie Tourville probably would be lost for the game. Wood Lost Again Southern California's bulge over UCLA among the price makers seemed to drop a lit tle with news that quarter back Willie Wood was out for the year along with Al Pro kop. But the Trojans still had a good signal man in Tom Maudlin. UCLA also has worked out with the. shades drawn. Bill Kilmer, hailed as a great so phomore, was expected to start at tailback in place of the injured Chuck Kendall. San Jose State, a solid team after its uncertain start, hosts an Iowa State delegation that has lost six of is last seven games. Dick Bass, College of the Pacific's speedback, was ex pected to roll further ahead as the nation's top ground gainer against San Diego State, ife went into the game with 1,037 gained so far this season. Pope Praises U. S. Church Vitality' Washington-flJPD-Pope John XXHI has praised the "vital ity" of the Catholic church in America in his first message to the bishops of the United States. The papal message was ad dressed to the annual meet ing of the U.S. Catholic hier archy which was held here last week. It was made public Thursday night by the Na tional Catholic .Welfare con ference NCWC. Pope John expressed his "paternal affection" for the American bishops and his "sincere gratitude" for the "many tokens of prayerful fe licitations, loyalty and good wishes" he has received from this country since his election. "The vitality of the Catho lic church in America is a precious source of spiritual richness for the church uni versal," he said. firfish Automobile Export Increases London-flJPD-British exports of automobiles in October rose by more than 1,000 over the previous month while pro duction fell by more than 2,800, the Board of Trade re ported Thursday. Allen Gains Crater High MVP Honor Central Point-Quarterback Wayne Allen was named Cra ter High's most valuable player for the 1958 football season. Guard George Hunt was named most valuable lineman. Center Bill White gained downf ield blocking laurels and halfback Allen Barnes outstanding sports manship award. These honors were an nounced Wednesday evening at the annual Lions club ban quet honoring the players and coaches. Gold Hill and Cen tral Point Lions clubs were sponsors.

Straus, Crater high principal, and Mrs. Straus; Norman Carothers, band di rector, and yell leaders. About 150 parents, players and guests attended. Crater Comettes provided table decorations and did the serving. No Grace Period For Gl Payments Despite what some veter ans may believe, there is no grace period for the late pay ment of installments on GI loans, S. T. Brannock, officer in charge of the Medford, Vet erans administration office, announced today. Thus, Brannock added, vet erans should make their GI loan payments on or before the date they are due. Failure to do so may prove costly, Brannock pointed out, since GI lenders may make an extra service charge when payments are received late. Brannock warned that vet erans who gain the reputation of being "chronic delinquents" will find their lenders taking that fact into account if the veterans should ever need an extension of repayment time on their GI loans. In addition to their loss of credit standing, veterans who become delinquent in their payments may ultimately be faced with the loss of the property acquired with their GI loans, Brannock said. TWA Machinists Strike on Schedule Kansas City, Mo. -(UPD- A strike by machinists that would ground all Trans World Airlines flights occurred on schedule at 10 a.m. c.s.t. to day, but there was hope of a quick settlement. Two minutes before the strike deadline, union negoti ator Cliff Miller called his in ternational headquarters in Washington to report a last minute company offer. He then left without further com ment. Two officials would not di vulge their latest offer, but said they expected to have an answer within 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the union threw up pickets at Kansas City's Municipal Airport on sched ule. , "We don't know for sure," a TWA spokesman said, "but it looks as if the strike is on."

SPORTS Ott Dies Of Accident Injuries New Orleans -(CPU- Mel Ott, 49-year-old Baseball Hall of Fame figure, lost his battle for life at 12:30 p.m. today. A team of eight doc tors had worked around the clock in vain in an effort lo save his life. Ott suffered fatal injuries last Friday night in an au tomobile collision near Bay St. Louis, Miss.

Tribe Gets Bill Martin Cleveland, Ohio- (UPD- Gen eral Manager Frank Lane of the Cleveland Indians, forced to give up two top'hurlers to land scrappy Billy Martin, said today the deal could pay off both on the field and at the gate. While admitting the : Indi ans "gave up plenty," to get Martin, Lane pointed out that the fiery infielder "could make us one-two-three in next year's race, possibly the dif ference of 300,000 to 400,000 in attendance." The Indians obtained Mar tin and pitcher Al Cicotte from the Detroit Tigers Thurs day in exchange for pitchers Dop Mossi and Ray Narleski and infielder Ossie Alvarez. Martin, 30, was traded to the Indians exactly one year after he was sent to the Tigers in a 13-player deal with Kan sas City.
