2 B MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. (ansas?lowa Clash First in 51 Years BY GARY KALE United Press International Top-ranked Iowa has waited 51 years to avenge a series of setbacks by Kansas and hopes to show its half-century, of progress Saturday in one of the top college football games 01 the day. Back in 1809, ' Kansas whipped the Hawkeyes, 20-7, to make it three in a row over Iowa. The series was shelved after that year with Kansas holding a 7-2 edge. Coach Forest Evashevski's Iowans rate a 12V4 point choice to win their sixth straight this, season. Kansas' record is marred by a 14-7 loss to Syracuse and a 13-13 tie with Oklahoma.-,- "Mississippi's No. 2-ranked Rebels also have revenge in mind against LSU in a South eastern Conference b a tt 1 e. Mississippi lost regular season games over the past two years to LSU. The Rebels tempered these setbacks by beating the Tigers in the Sugar Bowl. They are expected to repeat by a two-touchdown margin. Defending Champs Favored Syracuse, the defending na tional champion, rates a 10' point favorite to make Pitts burgh its 17tn straignt victim. The Orangemen have beaten Pitt three straight times. Minnesota, showing surpris ing strength this season, goes for its sixth in a row against a weak Kansas State team with no odds quoted because of the Goohers' overwhelming su- oerioritv. Bullet Joe Bcllino makes fifth-ranked Navy the choice to beat Notre Dame for the seventh time in 34 meetings with the oddsmakers backing the Middie line-mauler and his mates to the tune of a 14 point favorite. The Irish have Oscar Sparks Royal Quintet United Press International It looks as if Jack Twyman last year's second high scorer in the National Basketball as sociation, is going to take a back seat to rookie Oscar (Big O) Robertson this season. Robertson, looking none the worse in switching to the pro game, paced the Cincinnati Royals to a 143-140 overtime Victory over the Syracuse Na tionals Thursday night by scoring 39 points, on 13 field goals and 13 of 15 from the foul line. ( i The triumph was the 'fifth in six games for the new-look Royals, who finished in last place in the Western division last year. Veteran Twyman, runnerup to Wilt Chamber lain in 1959-60, and Phil Jor dan added 26 points apiece for the Royals. , Everything in Fireplace Materials , , . .and,: :': Natural Stone STONE CO. So.

Older brother Charley, six-feet-three and 230 pounds, plays defen sive right end for the Raiders. Chances are they'll collide a few times during the game. Although they played on different teams in the Nation al Football league last season, they did not get a chance to ODDose each other.

SPORTS Ford Frick In Role of Peacemaker By FRED DOWN New York (UPD Commis sioner Ford Frick cast him self in the role of peacemaker between the National and American leagues today in an effort to insure the orderly expansion of baseball. Frick, long a champion of expansion, began to cast some soothing oil on baseball's troubled waters with an an nouncement that he will meet with league presidents War ren Giles and Joe Cronin be fore the scheduled Nov. 17 ex pansion meeting of the AL. "My main concern is to be sure we re all on the same track," said Frick. "We must not lose sight of the fact that orderly expansion is our goal and we must see what can be worked out." Frick also denied that the American League was guilty of a "low blow," as charged by Continental League found er William Shea, when It ex panded to Los Angeles. Shea charged the league "reneged" on a promise to expand only by adding groups that repre sented Continental league franchises. Doesn't Agree The American league ex pansion committee fought to uphold that agreement," Frick said. "When it became Im possible, new considerations were inevitable. Therefore, I don't agree with Shea and have told him so." Hank Greenberg all but ad mitted that he was included in the group seeking the new Los Angeles franchise, and AL president Cronin said there were three groups bid ding for the new franchise in Washington, D.C. That report is a little pre mature, said Greenberg, com menting on a report that he is going to Los Angeles.. "I'm still a stockholder in the White Sox and I will be until I sell my stock." Cronin did not disclose the groups interested in operating the Washington franchise but one ' believed to be the Gra ham Paige Holding Co., which owns Madison Square Garden. Chairman of the board Ad miral John J. Bergen refused to deny the Garden group was seeking the franchise and said: "We are interested in vari ous sports - Hope we do get Washington." - Frosh Nick Rooks 6-0 Portland - (UPD - The Uni versity of Oregon Frosh, their high powered offense sty mied by a driving rain and penalties, defeated the ' Ore gon . State Rooks 6-0 here Thursday night, before, crowd of 4,493. ' Halfback Mel Renfro scored the lone touchdown of the game on a 7-yard run around right end. The score came with 41 seconds in the second period and ended a 44- yard drive. Oregon outgained its rivals 308 total yards to 108 and had the edge in first downs 17-6. But penalties at key times hurt the Frosh. Ore gon was penalized 11 times for 95 yards and the Rooks, whose closest drive to a score was to Oregon 21 in second quarter, ,were penalized 12 times for 80 yards. Oregon had another touch down called back early in the fourth quarter because of a penalty. The Ducklings also missed a 19-yard field goal in the quarter.

Elk Hunt Will Start Saturday Portland-Oregon big game hunters can line their sights on probably the most chal lenging trophy animals on the North American continent this Saturday, Oct. 29. The date marks the opening of the gen eral elk season scheduled to run through Nov. 9 along the coastal section and through Nov. 27 in the Cascades and eastern Oregon areas. North coast hunters are re minded by the game commis sion that the season in this area will not officially open until noon on Oct. 29. The noon opening was set by the commission in an attempt to reduce the heavy illegal kill of spike bulls occurring in this area when hunters sur round herds and begin firing in the dim, early morning light. Last year the noon open ing proved effective in reduc ing the illegal kill of spikes to about one third of previous years. On the south coast hunters can begin their hunting one half hour before sunrise and may test their sk'U on bull elk with antlers longer than the ears. Open areas, in south western Oregon include the Powers, Coquille, U m p q u a and Tenmile big game man agement units. Longer Than Ears In the Cascades and north eastern Oregon areas, hunters may also take bull elk with antlers longer than the ears, with the season extending through Nov. 27. Units open Include Hood River, Wasco, Santiam, Metolius, McKen zie, Deschutes, Fort Rock, Butte Falls, Columbia Basin, Walla Walla, Wenaha, Sled Springs, Chesnimnus, Umatil la, Catherine Creek, Minam, Imnaha, Snake River, Star key, Ukiah, Heppner, Desola tion and. Baker. In southeastern Oregon units, hunters can set their sights on elk of either sex Units open for either sex elk hunting include Wheeler, Grizzly, O c h o c o, Maury, Northside, Keating, Lookout Mountain, Murderers Creek, Beulah, Malheur River and Silvics. All elk hunters are remind ed that the antlers with scalp and eyes attached must re main with the animal taken while in the field or in tran sit from the hunting area. Hunters are urged to check the tagging regulations in the big game synopsis for tagging big game in the field and other requirements while the animal is in transit or trans ferred into the possession of another person. Elk hunters ire also re minded of the arms and am munition regulations which make It illegal to use rifles with a caliber designation of less than .25 inch and develop ing less than 1220 foot pounds of energy at 100 yards. oison Oak?

There were about 85 hunters on portion of the management area who were looking for birds but with little success The difficulty was that the game commission hadn' made their yearly plant of birds from the management farm, . , . LOTS OF BIRDS Many hunters are com plaining that the birds are not here, which is hard to understand after such a mild winter and a better than average brood count this summer. A third factor is that the carryover from last year - was good. It could be that hunters spoil easily and were expecting a season like the one of last year. Reports so far estimate the opening as good, which is small conso lation to the hunter who didn't take his limit. SPEAKING OF Limits are set on the tak ing of game as a means of sustaining these animals, birds and fish so that they might be enjoyed for genera tions to come. People have a variety of reasons for disre garding the rules, but the old saw that gets the most use right now is the one claiming that the reason one must go out and. get several limits of pheasant on opening day is that it's all right because of the few times one goes out, WHY? No doubt there are a va riety of motives behind the actions of those who ex ceed game bag limits, but how can they be justified by the person who has plenty of food in his free zer, or who gives his bag limit away to his neighbors, or who saves it for a time and then throws it away? There is some justification .for the person who needs it 1q feed his family, but others are more difficult to understand. WHAT'S GOING ON? Rumor has it that the U.S. fish and wildlife service has not retained the services of Dr. Wayne Burt of Oregon State college for the job of analyzing the data from the temperature-flow - study on the Rogue, He is the oceanog- rapher who Is considered the expert in this area of work and the one who developed this means of evaluation. A GAMBLE Since the results of the temperature flow study -will decide whether or not a dam will be built on the .main stem of the Rogue, it would seem the FfcW serv ice is taking quite a risk in having someone other than Dr. Burt do the ana lysing. The use of his serv ices would assure us that we would not be gambling with the future of our river. WORMY DEER Those who are rendered somewhat squeamish by the reports of wormy deer along the Rogue should appreciate the fact that there is no re search indicating that these parasites are harmful to hu mans. It is true that they ex ist, but they are nothing new and are using the deer as a carrier. They don t harm the deer. These particular para sites are the round worm and the larvae from the tape worm found in dogs and coy otes. COYOTE CONTROL It will be interesting to note whether or not the pro posed coyote poisoning pro gram in the county achieves the purpose intended. If there is an increase in the deer population in those areas where the fawn crop is light and coyotes are nu merous, we might conclude that the coyotes were the culprits. THE ANGLER'S LOG My apologies to those who ventured forth on the Rogue last week end and were skunked. Meanwhile, down on the Klamath, Lee Ragsdale landed 27 while Bob Radcliffe managed to beach 42. (They returned most of them to the water, keeping only their limits.) The reports from the Rogue are optimistic again. Fish up to nine pounds have been caught between Galice and Gold Beach. The report is that the fly fishing is excel lent, with the most luck gar nered by use of a new feath ered concoction using red CLOGSTON'S Metal Weather Stripping and Screens : istimitts Oladly .' Phone SP 1-1014 Evenings yarn and gold ribbing for a body. A few short bucktall make up the hackle. A real killer! ine ruamatn has been a consistent producer since the first of September. The fish have been small but numer ous, with the most recent re ports telling of larger fish in the lower river. Nightcrawlers are the favorite bait, but they aren't easy to come by now that the weather is turning colder. Biggest fish so far is a 10-pounder. Reports from the coast indi cate that the salmon fishing is red hot. There is a huge run of fall chinook coming in the Rogue, with similar reports coming in up and down the coast wnere other rivers empty into the ocean. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Most of us have read those stories of catching sieelhead until the screws fall out of the reel and it comes apart. Maybe this will be the year for some of the readers of those stories to experience s o me i h ing close to it. Let's hope so, GOOD LUCK! Joe Brown Defending Ring Title BY ALEX KAHN . Los Angeles (UPD Light weight champion Joe Brown makes ring history tonight with his ninth defense of the championship in a 15-round title bout against Bobby (Cis co) Andrade at Olympic Au ditorium. The champion, whose home is. at Baton Rouge, La., but who fights out- of Houston, Tex., was a 2-1 favorite to re tain the crown he won Aug. 24, 1956, from Wallace Bud Smith at New Orleans. The ninth title defense breaks the lightweight record of eight title bouts set by the late Benny Leonard and equalled by Brown when he knocked out Dave Charnley of England last December in six rounds. Six Knockouts ' Brown has knocked out six of his opponents in title fights since becoming champion and the smooth-boxing champion predicted he would do the same to Andrade. Although he is 34, Brown is only four years older than Andrade who has been boxing since 1952 but three times re tired temporarily only to re turn to the ring. Andrade, from nearby Compton, Calif., has been one of the top ten lighteweights several times in his career. Bulldog Eighth Closes Unbeaten McLoughlin Junior High school eighth grade completed an undefeated football cam paign with its fifth win of the season yesterday. The Bullpups beat their hometown rival, Hedrick, 12 to 0 at Hedrick. Rick Templeton went four yards around end for the first Mac tally in the second pe riod. A bad pass from center on a Hedrick fourth down punt formation set up the TD. In the fourth panel Art Lee completed a drive to the goal with a one-yard TD gain. Coach Don Stroh praised the Hornets for real good ball and real good team effort de spite the loss and cited Tim Watrud of Hedrick as top man on the field on both offense and defense. Hedrick was 2-3 for the sea son. WEST SIDE WINS West Side defeated Oak Grove 6 to 0 yesterday in a grade school football game. The Grovers led in the yard age department but West Side combined a 44-yard run and a three-yard gain for the only score. V , " : . Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International New York -(UPD -In college football once again today the kids are ready to "die for dear old Rutgers." That's the explanation from Columbia Coach Buff Donelli for the weekly wave of up sets. It is due primarily, he says, to emotional and psycho logical reasons as much as to physical activity. "The older, I've-seen-every thing crop we had after the war is gone, he explains, "and we're back again in an era of emotions. This is the reason he avers behind such unpredictable events as Purdue whipping Ohio State, 24-21, Ohio State beating Wisconsin, 34-7, and then Wisconsin upending Pur due 24-13. "There is more emotion than there ever has been," in sists the former Duquesne, Boston university and pro coach who is trying to "elim inate what he refers to as "the Columbia spirit." Expects To Lose "Columbia for years has played with a defeatist atti tude," snorts the quiet but highly competitive Donelli. "It seems to be a built-in feel ing that we fight like blazes to a certain point and then it's almost as if they expected to lose or are expected to lose. Overcoming this 'Columbia Spirit' is my biggest problem,' but fortunately, we are back in an era in which spirit and emotion once more are work able factors." The published point spreads are a major' factor in contrib uting to the "upset" too, Do nelli holds. "It can work two ways," he argues. "Sometimes when team reads where is is a seven or 15-point underdog, it gets fired up and goes out and wins with a we'll-show- em attitude. On the other Ne wYork - (UPD - The New York Giants have placed star hallfback Alex Webster back on the active list.
