The 15-round bout will be televised nationally by NBC at 7 p.m., (PST). Jordan, of Los Angeles, the fight game's biggest question mark, announced today, "I'll shoot the works tonight. 1 11 carry the fight to Paret-and win easily. However, because of lanky Don's defeats in his latest non-title bout with Federico Thompson and Can dy McFarland, oddsmakers here in the nation's gambling metropolis make challenger Paret an 11-5 favorite. Expect $40,000 Gale Promoter Mel Greb and Jack Doyle expect a crowd of 6,000 and a gate of $40,000 despite Jordan's upset defeat last week by young McFar land in a tuneup bout at Baltimore- a defeat that lessened the ticket sale.

Burleson Heads for Big Race Eugene -(UPD- Miler Dyrol Burleson and seven other University of Oregon Duck trackmen flew today for the California relays in Modesto, Saturday night. Burleson, 20-year-old Ore gon sophomore who this spring ran the fastest mile race for an American in 3:58.6 will face world's mile record holder Herb Elliott of Aus tralia in a possible "Mile of the Century" at Modesto. Elliott's world record is 3:54.5. The Oregon contingent, along with five Emerald Em pire Athletic association ath letes, will fly to Sacramento, Calif., and then motor to Mo desto. Bowerman Quiet Burleson's coach, Bill Bow erman, has remained quiet this week on the type of race his star pupil will run against Elliott but Duck track fol lowers think that Burleson ace will stick with his lay-behind type of race and then turn to his great finishing "kick" in an attempt to win.

Other Oregon trackmen making the trip are Roscoe Cook, Sig Ohlemann, Dick Miller, Dave Edstrom, Jerry Close, Phil Paquin and Lar son.

Oregon State's entry In the meet will be Amos Marsh, Darrell Horn, Gary Stenlund, Norm Hoffman, Ron Bach, Don Martin, Cliff Thomson, Chris Johansen and Norm Fone. Baver Varrty Honet Retir On Terry Bsker Corvall's -07PD- The Alumii beat the varsity in football at the University of Oregon ear lier this month. Coach Tommy Prothro, the drawling southerner who is in charge of the Oregon State football forces, doesn't want this to happen to his Beaver varsity when it plays the alumni here Saturday. But it might, Beaver fol lowers think, unless a sopho more named Terry Baker can come through. Prothro is counting on the former two time Jefferson high school gridiron all-stater on providing the passing to make Oregon State's single wing offense go this year. And he's hoping the fine throwing Baker will begin this Saturday. Rawboned Youth Oregon State passers hit only 35 per cent of their throws last year and it was a big factor in a 3 won, 7 lost season for the Beavers, the first losing season for Prothro. So with his ace tailback Don Kasso, a junior, out with an injury Saturday, Prothro is counting on Baker, a raw boned youth who sat out foot ball at the Beaver school last year as a freshman "in order to concentrate on studies." A passing duel could de velop between Baker and alumni player-coach Joe Francis. Diamond Lake Roads, Ramps Reported Clear Roads to Diamond lake were all clear of snow, it was reported at midweek. The campground and four boat ramps also were said to be clear of snow. Everybody has been catch ing fish, the resort manage ment said. A game commission report this week stated that angling was good last week end at Diamond lake with many lim its of 12 to 16-inch two-year- old rainbows taken. Anglers, it was said, spent most of their time huddled around campfires out of the freezing weather. There was snow that week end with high winds and cold. A resort report estimated more than 200 cars in the campground and 1,400 to 1,500 people at the lake.
