"There are a lot of ways this thing could go. We'll just have to find out what everybody is thinking and then act. Complicating the expansion problem was a feeling among some AL owners that the Washington Senators and the Kansas City Athletics should be relocated.

SHELL Raiders Entertain EOC In Homecoming Scuffle Ashland - Homecoming and Eastern Oregon will mark the Oregon collegiate conference football finale for Southern Oregon Saturday afternoon at 1:30 when the Red Raiders meet the Mounties in an effort for second spot in the OCC. EOC has been a patsy for most of the other clubs they have met with the exception of Portland State last week when the two battled to a 6-6 tie. In OCC action before the Viking deadlock, the Moun ties were whipped by Oregon Tech 51-6 and Oregon college 34 0 in addition to losing to non-conference foes Whitman, College of Idaho, and Yakima JC. Southern Oregon with wins over PSC and OCE will still have a chance for a tie for the OCC crown if OCE can pull an upset and whip un defeated Ore Teen.

Garner is the reg ular right guard and Green the center on the ' offensive unit while Garner plays line backer on defense. Otherwise, the Raider lineup will remain the same. There are few or small injuries to mar the ros ter. After six games Al Barnes continues to dominate the Raider rushing statistics with 316 yards and a 4.9 yard per play average. Gordy Carrigan, Eldon Francis, Doyle Bran som, and John Buck are all closely bunched in the runner-up slot, Doug Olsen took over com mand of the passing depart ment with his splendid 229 yard effort against OCE last week. Olsen has run his yard age to 411 yards on 28 com pletions of 52 attempts. Olsen's prime target has been Howard Hartman, re ceiver of 24 aerials for 405 yards which have carried for five touchdowns. This also gives Hartman the scoring lead. Francis has the most dis tinguished record on the club with a perfect record in pass ing and scoring.
