eorgia Tech, - Iowa tern Challenges on Br JOHN GRIFFIN Q. 0 ailed Pre International y Georgia Tech and Iowa are the mighty teams rated most-llkely-46-be-upset this week Oft a heavy college foot . ball program that also is picked with danger for sev o cral more of the nation's top ' tQpftU. Unbeaten - untied Georgia Taxii, ranked fourth in the nation by the UPI Board of Coaches, is only even money against an Auburn team that fhas been blazing since its lonf unbeaten string was inafljed in the first game of .he season. Once-beaten Iowa, No. 9 in the nation, has beaten Wis consin three straight years but is only a slim three-point pick to do it again. Tsofible for Purdue Among the nation's top 10 teams, trouble also is in sight for fifth-ranked Purdue, a seven-point choice over Ohio State; third-ranked Texas, a even - point favorite over Arkansas; and sixth - ranked Southern California, an eight point choice over Washington. The football week end gets off to a slow start Friday night with a slim arc-light schedule. Ill the top game, Navy (2-2) is a five-point fa vorite to regain the winning trail when it visits Miami of Florida, which may still be aching from a 27-3 loss to national champion Louisiana State. Louisiana State, riding a 16-game winning streak, is ex pected to have little trouble as it opens its Southeastern Conference schedule as a 14 point choice over Kentucky, - which took a 33-0 shellacking from Auburn last week.

Seventh- ranked Mississippi, unbeaten- untied-and-uhscored-on, is ex pected to romp over Tulane, and eighth-ranked Syracuse is a 19-point favorite over Holy Cross as it seeks revenge for the only loss it suffered last year. Penn State, 10th ranked nationally and Syra cuase's big rival for Eastern honors, is expected to drub Boston University. Scrap 'Kids Day' Occasion Oregon State college, Cor- vallis - It's back to the home confines of Parker stadium for Oregon State's hard-luck foot ball team that meets Idaho at Corvallis Saturday afternoon. Game time is 1:30 pjn. as the school plays host to the fifth annual "Kiwanis Kids Day," whereby youngsters in supervised groups of 10 or more will be admitted for 50C. Last year, some 3500 children were on hand for the event. Coach Tommy Prothro will pull no stops in ail effort to bring OSC its first victory of the season. The Beavers lost three of the games by the grand total of 13 points and with any kind of luck might even have won all three. Beating the Vandals won't be easy, as evidenced in past years. Idaho almost de-railed Oregon State's "Rose Bowl Express" in 1956, and the Beavers were lucky to pull out with a 14-10 decision in the waning moments. The Vandals are always high for OSC. Better Shape - Oregon State will still not be at top strength physically for the Idaho game, although the BeaverS may be in better shape than they were for some games earlier. Out for the sea son, of course, is No. 1 tail back Grimm Mason, and Dain- ard Paulson is not yet ready for full-time duty after a shoulder injury. That means that Prothrd will have to go with sopho more Don Kasso and veteran Larry Sanchez at the all-important tailback post Saturday - in view of the fact that Earl Harbin rSUffered a. knee in jury' against Michigan and is out for at least a week. San chez saw his first action of the season last Saturday. Remainder of the Orange lineup probably will include Don Thiel and Jerry Doman, ends; Ed Kaohelaulii and How ard Hogan, tackles; Sonny Sanchez and George Enderle, guards; Bruce Hake Center; Derald Swift, blocking back; Ron Miller,, wingback; and Jim Stinnette, fullback. Reservations frOm nearly 1,000 youngsters have already been received for Kiwanis Kids Day," including a group of 104 from Tillamook. Chair man of the day is John Galla gher, Jr., of Corvallis.

Undergo Saturday The early-season " emphasis on intersectional play virtual ly disappears this week end as teams buckle down to con ference warfare. Here's a quick glimpse of other top games in the nation: Easi-Yale and Penn, un beaten Ivy League pacemak ers, face different tasks-Yale is only even money against Cornell but Penn is a 14-point pick over Brown. Pittsburgs's Ivan Toncic is expected to prove too much for West Vir ginia. South-Army a three-point choice to regain winning form as visitor at Duke. Ten nessee, also rebounding, seven over Alabama, with Florida over Vanderbilt and Georgia over Mississippi State by the same margin. But Wake For est and North Carolina State are even. Midwest Notre Dame Six points over Michigan State in the nationally televised game of the day. Indiana's six over Nebraska and Illinois seven over Minnesota. Southwest SMU seven oyer Rice and TCU the same over Texas A&M in big Southwest Conference games. Oklahoma is a 10-point Big Eight pick over Missouri, but an upset could put the Tigers on the inside track to the Orange Bowl. ....West-Unbeaten - untied Air Force Academy is a six-point favorite over unbeaten-untied Oregon, while Stanford .is three over Washington State, and UCLA eight over Cali fornia. SPORTS ON CO0BABE S QUAD Lor in Christean, ex-Medford high fullback, is among players on the Washington State univer sity freshman football squad. The 6-3 200-pounder has been looking very good in drills and is expected to see much action during the Coubabes four games. First will be on Saturday, Oct. .17, at Univer sity of Idaho in Moscow. Christean also was a track man at Medford. - freeze BEAT WINTER TO THE PUNCH USC, UCLA Favorites In Big Five By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press International Southern California and UCLA get off their laurels Saturday after a two-week rest and go forth to prove that Los Angeles once more is the home of powerhouse football. The sixth-rated Trojans are eight point choices to defeat Washington in an important game at Seattle while the odds board shows the Bruins favored by the same spread to hand California's Bears their fourth straight loss. Both games are Big Five meetings. While USC and UCLA had last Saturday off, the new loop opened with Washington taking over first place by tripping Stanford, 10-0. Coach Don Clark of Troy, ignoring the weatherman, has had his gridders working out at times on a damp field just in case it comes up wet in Se attle. Quarterback Bob Hiv ner of the Huskies is listed as a doubtful starter. Ficca Back For Action Dan Ficca, Southern Cal's powerful tackle, is ready for action, after being laid up. And Willie Wood, their gifted quarterback, also may return although he appeared finished earlier this season after in curring a shoulder separation. Coach Bill Barnes of UCLA says tailback Bill Kilmer has slimmed down a little during the Bruins' two week lull. He said he expects a rough battle with Cal, which has been worked over by such Titans as Iowa, Texas and Notre Dame. The Bruins should be quicker now, Barnes feels, with Kilmer a little trimmer Cal, outscored by Notre Dame but never outfought, heads southward with ends Gael Barsotti and Skip Huber ail ing while quarterback Wayne Crow has a bad ankle. USC goes up to Seattle with impressive wins over Pitt and Ohio State. UCLA opened the season with a scoreless tie then lost a 25-21 hair-raiser to the Panthers. The USC-Washington tilt features a clash of undefeated teams as will a dandy at Port land between Oregon's Ducks and the Air Force Academy. Coach Ben Martin's Falcons have a finepasser in Richie Mayo of Eureka, Calif., who riddled Idaho, 21-0, last week. They go into the game six point favorites over a Duck aggregation whose chief weak ness has been aerial defense. Stanford, a three-point pick over Washington State, will seek to beat the Cougars at their own game. Passing had been WSU's big weapon dur ing coach Jim Sutherland's reign until this season. Now the .Indians have it instead with quarterback Dick Nor man. Idaho is at Oregon State where each team will show up with a record of four losses and no wins. Coach Tommy Prothro of Oregon State has indicated the drought can't go on for- ever. ( l ) ; Freeze-ups are only half the story. The other half is rust rust that ruins radia tors, clogs cooling systetog, sends eflglne temperatures so high vital parts Warp and burn. But Magnetic Film in "Prestone" anti freeze prevents rust With a tough molecular coating. What's more, Magnetic Film pro tects aluminum, prevents corrosion. So don't be switched to ordinary anti freeze. Look for the Green Tag proof that your service dealer has installed the world's best anti-f feeze "Prestone" anti freeze with its exclusive Magnetic Film. . . . HAVE YOUR COOLING SYSTEM DRAINED, THEN Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank It does seem odd that all the talking about hunter farmer relationships and good sportsmanship doesn't have the effect it was thought to have. After several years of fairly intensive effort towards trying to improve the atti tudes of the ignorant, the stupid, and the selfish; the interested sportsmen and con servationists are finding them selves faced with reports that hunter behavior has reached a new low. MORE SLOBS The slobs are on the in crease this year and the con sequences of their thought less, careless acts will be found in the increased amount of posted land ap pearing next year. Every interested hunter should be concerned about this par ticular brand of human be ing because he- is the ex pression of impulses which we all possess but which most of us seem able to override or quell in assum ing a high ethic that will offer more than an imme diate satisfaction. Perhaps we haven't found the best way to deal with slobs in assuming that ignorance is the reason for their actions and educations is the remedy. ACTIVE CONCERN It is to be hoped that some day the majority of sports men will realize that they are losing the chance to main tain our present open-to:the-public system of hunting and fishing because of a lack of active concern on their part If they believe the job of law enforcement this area is just for the game warden, then they are always going to be disappointed in the" way our game laws are enforced, It's going to be a job for all hunters and fishermen who care about preserving our sport to see that the Slobs dont ruin our enjoyment Education can take many forms and it might be a bet ter thing to try a broader variety. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to talk to slobs instead of about them. Tell them we don't like what they are do ing and that we want them to stop. If we stand and watch people commit unlawful acts we are condoning their ac tions by our own lack of ac tive concern. And it's really our loss. PHEASANT FABLE Hunting is reported to be good for those who are bent on chasing the xingneck this coming week end. There are many fields pos sessing lots of birds but don't ask me which fields. Hunters are cautioned to avoid shooting towards houses and roads. There alp seems to be a fringe element who insist on shoot ing the chukars which the Game Commission hat planted. A resident popula tion of these exotics will . never establish itself if they are shot up every years. There is no open season on chukars in Western Oregon. V DeVoss MORE BIRDS The season will probably end with a bang because the game commission plans on re leasing 384 birds sometime during the end of the month. The birds will be released in the areas which are hunted heavily and on the game com mission management farm in the Camp White area. THE ANGLER'S LOG Those anglers who may have forgotten ought to jog their memories for the fact that the upper Rogue; that area above Laurelhurst bridge on the main stem, upper Big Butte and upper Elk creek; will be open un til the 18th. All of the lakes that were regularly report ed on in this column are open also and should pro vide some excellent fishing this coming week end. The weather promises to remain excellent and the fish should be cooperative. - WARM FEET. COLD HEADS Those anglers who enjoyed fishing from the banks of Howard Prairie reservoir this summer may find the fishing a little frustrating next year. It seems that they used tires for warming fires at times and succeeded in warming their feet while their heads remained numb. The wire cording from those tires is going to be a part of the lake bottom and probably will col lect quite a bit of tackle in future years. A little time spent in removing such debris above the high water line will repay the angler who likes bank fishing. MORE STEELHEAD The Rogue ought to pro duce some excellent steel head fishing now that there have been two periods -of relatively high water in the past two weeks. Reports in dicate large numbers of fish moving in the lower river, including a lot of fall Chinook. These salmon spawn in the river below Grants Pass and should begin this activity soon. The steelhead in the area are very susceptible to eggs during this period and the single egg drifter can find many takers. At the present lime the Galice area should provide good fly fishing un til salmon spawning be comes active there. KLAMATH POTLUCK The Klamath is having quite a run of Salmon this fall and many anglers are trying to harvest a few in the Horn- brook area. Very few of the larger steelhead have gone through the racks but they are expected any day. The river is spotty right now, with some anglers having a field day while others never have a nibble. That part of the river between Big Bend and Copco No. 1 is providing catches of fish in the 16 to 18-inch size.' The water be tween Big Bend dam and the powerhouse is quite clear when the powerhouse is run ning at capacity because of many large springs which sup ply the river along this stretch. Reports tell of many j fish moving through at this i time. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER I count myself among the most frustrated of hunters in not having taken one of those elusive bucks of the blacktail breed. They are belter than 1 at this gam of pussyfooting and per haps my chances would be better if I took a tran quilizer and waited one out in an appropriate spot. It seems my nervous system isn't tuned to the wailing game and this gives the deer the advantage. GOOD LUCK! Full Schedule In NW Circuit United Press International All six members of the Northwest conference enter counting combat for the first time this season with a week end football slate designed to separate the title hopefuls from the rest of the pack. Defending champion Wil lamette (2-0) will journey to Caldwell, Ida., for a clash with College of Idaho (1-0-1) in the top tilt Saturday night. Powerful Lmfield (0-0-1) will test Lewis and Clark (0-2) in Portland Saturday afternoon and a surprising Pacific (0-1) will collide with Whitman (0-0) at Walla Walla Saturday night. Deer Hides Tanned EBERIIART'S SPORTING GOODS Gateway Shopping Center Hwy 6 Ashland MU 2-1381 Ernie Banks Gains 1959 Player Award By FRED DOWN New York (DPD Ernie Banks, homer - hitting short stop of the Chicago Cubs, is the United Press Internation al's National league Player of the Year for the second con secutive season. The slender, 28 -year -old slugger from Dallas, Tex., was voted the honor today in the annual balloting of the UPI's $11,231.18 For Victors In Series By MILTON RICHMAN New York (UFD The largest World Series checks in history are being mailed out today to the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox-courtesy of the Los Angeles Coliseum. Each of 29 Dodger players will "receive a record full share of $11,231.18 and each of 31 members of the White Sox will get $7,275.17, also a record for a losing share. The, biggest jackpot in World Series history was an nounced by baseball Commis sioner Ford Frick Thursday.
