iU&oUAI, Northwestern Still Top Team; Oregon Moves Up To 1 1th Spot Vow Vnrk -I11P1I- Northwest- ern increased Its margin over runnerup Alabama in the latest United Press Interna tional major college football ratings today although it al most fell victim to unrated Indiana last Saturday. The Wildcats, who had to come from behind in the final quarter to avert an upset and maintain their perfect rec ord, received 19 first place votes from the group of 35 coaches who comprise the UPI board. This was the same total they attracted last week. However, Alabama was awarded only seven first place votes-a drop-off of five from the previous balloting despite a 20-0 victory over Mississippi State. The rest of the top five re mained the same as last week, but three new teams were added in the second five. They were Missouri, Wiscon sin and Minnesota, replacing Michigan State, Washington and Nebraska. Southern California re ceived four first-place men tions and moved within four points of Alabama following ils decisive triumph over Washington and fourth-rated Mississippi headed the voting on the five other ballots. Texas remained in fifth place, followed by Missouri, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Minne sota and Louisiana State.

Curtice Has Praise For Oregon San Francisco - (liPU - It's too bad the old Pacific Coast Conference can't set togeth er," said Coach .ck Curtice today. "My, what a race we would have goinE on for the Rose Bowl now. With Southern California, Oregon, Oregon Stale and Washington battling each other it would be great." Curtice came back from a battering at the hands of Ore gon on Saturday. He already had been whipped on his home grounds by Oregon Slate and Terry Baker, sing ing the praises o the Web foots. "They came at us as though Ihey were going to a picnic," said Curtice. "They have overall team ."Deed. It's just too bad the Big Six can't get together with we urcgon teams. "Coach Len Casanova told me that Oregon has the best ipam this vear that it has had in his 12 years there."

ISP" MEDF0RDJWrRIBlW siPODiHnrs Fanfare There's be no drawing necessary to determine tne Southern Oregon conference representative this season in the Class A-l slate football playoffs. Nor will statistics play a part. Whether Medford or Grants Pass high goes against Rose burg in the quarterfinals hinges entirely on the final score this Friday night in the league finale between the two schools. ' The Black Tornado of Med ford will advance if it bcals or just tics the Cavemen. Grants Pass will go on if it downs the Tornado club. A GP verdict would mean a con ference co-championship. But, a league rule says that, if two clubs tie in the standings, the team which beats the other is the playoff entrant. RATINGS MEAN LITTLE Rating will mean little when the Cavemen and Tor nado get together. In Oregon Journal coaches poll, the only one available at this writing, Medford still held No. 1 this week while Grants Pass was tabbed No. 5. But, the two clubs probably are more close ly matched than pollsters guesiwork would indicate, Medford's victories over MarsMield and Klamath Tails would seem to indicate a bal ance in Tornado favor. The Tornado won 27 to 0 from Marshfield which tied GP in a scoroless tilt. Medford was victor 13 to 0 over a KF crew which held off ihe Cavemen 12 lo 9. On the other hand, in GP's favor are two other compari sons. Crater, which Medford slipped by 7 to 0, was trimmed 25 to 0 by Grants Pass. Against Ashland Grants Pass won 59 to 0 and Medford 48 lo 0. Loyal Klamalhites will tell you that, had the Pelican field been dry, Grants Pass prob ably would have beaten Klam ath Falls. DON'T NEED CONVINCING During this week a lot may be done here and at Grants Pass in effort to fire the teams up for the big game. We be lieve, however, that the Black Tornadoes, don't need gim micks to convince them that their best effort of the season more than likely will be re quired lo get by the Climate city team. GP BACKS AIL Jerry Acklen in his Grants Pass Courier story on the Grants Pass-Willamette high game reports that fullback Rich Ireland of the Cavemen twisted his ankle and had lo leave the game. Halfback Gary Van Katen did not suit up because of an ailing back that kept him out of action against Crater. The Cavemen also had tackle Bob Linde man on the sick list. Another tackle. Beau Vencil, moved to Hood River Whether the two backs will be available this Friday hasn't been learned. But, with them or without them, Grants Pass will be a potent adversary. DOING GREAT One of tlie ladies on the news staff asked us the other day, "Who's 'The Great Can dec?" She'd heard the name on Medford liih football broadcasts. We explained that she'd probably mi.suridersle.nd the announcer when he spoke of Greg Ganriee. Well, of course, Greg has been doing great. CAPABLE AND WORTHY There may be some discom. posure of mind at Phoenix over a feeling that the Pirates backed into the Rogue league football title. The Buccaneers don't need lo feel that way -nor do their backers. Phoenix has a fine football team, stronger and more versatile than In early season and quite capable and worthy of bearing the Rogue bannor into the District 6 A-2 playoff aoainst Riddle. It was ihe tceling ex-i pressed at the Friday meet- i ing of the Medford Lineback-j ers that, it Ihe Pirates ad-i vance through the district and slate playoffs. lhoy'U have truly earned all the honors! they receive. SMOG MAY HELP i "At least the weather w.is ; nice and Hie high school band ' pul on a fine show, but (rom ; an Ashland viewpoint, (lie it- ' rmiinder of the evening was!

Sn wrote Speed Preseott ' (we presume) of the Ashland Daily Tidings on Saturday of the Friday night high M-iiool grid tilt at Ashland. He said alMi: "The second half was a re run of the first two permits as Ihe xahanl Hears gave all they had to halt the his lil.u k hordes from Smin Dotiot.i, hut t h e Tornado isn't rated number one in the state ins! hfi ause they xxash bntli eat rarh morning Thru second and thud strings would he By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribuna Sports Ediror welcomed at most schools with open arms." There must be something in the smog that makes good football players. And, it's even better than sparkling Lithia water. LAST PLAY Klamath Union high foot ball fans may say that the Pelicans were robbed of a touchdown on the final play of their game with Crater last Friday night while Comets and their backers insist that Klamath should not have had even ils last opportunity. Wrote Jerry Waggoner in the Klamath Falls Herald and News: "It was a heartbreaker for the Pelicans in more ways than one. All of She Pelicans, naturally, felt that Rich Horn, gutty Pel quarterback, had scored on the final play of the game. The tie was as good as a loss for the Pelicans . . . "The entire game was wrap ped up in that last play. The Pelicans had taken over on their own 45 with less than three minutes remaining in the contest. They drove the distance in that length of time but to no avail. The officials said that Horn's head was across the goal line but a ho said that any part of the ball has to cross the goal and that it did not. Horn, and; most of the other players that were in at the time, said that Horn was across." Crater coaches have told us that Klamath Falls had run out of timeouts before the final play and that with four seconds on the clodk officials insisted that the Comets called time out. Coach Keith John son of the Comets said that no such call was made and that quarterback Mike Glines had instructed his teammates not to call time and to take care that no penalties were incurred. FIVE HOME GAMES Fred Spiegclberg, Medford high football coach, gave the Linebackers the good word last Friday that five home games already have been slated for next season. Ar rangements for seven games so far have been made. DIDN'T WANT BALL There is evidence that Ore gon Tech was dispirited by its 50 to 0 loss to Southern Oregon a couple of week ends ago. We've paraphrased the remark lo tone down the re ported oath. But, when SOC's Denny Ellil kicked the ball right back after an OTI punt, a Tech player was heard lo say, in an amazed but unen thusiastic voice, words to this effect: "Good golly, we've got the ball back again." TICKETS SOLD OUT - Some 270 tickets, on sale al Medford high for the Grants Pass-Meriford grid game at GP this Friday, were all sold out by 7:15 a.m. yesterday, Prin cipal Lester Harris reported. "We have quite a line," he said. He indicated that the school grounds looked like parking lot at a super market as early as 5 a.m. The tickets did not go on sale until just before 7 o'clock. Raider Runners Defeat Vikings Ashland Southern Ore gon college's cross country squad downed Portland Slate last Saturday, 16-45, over a hilly four mile course at Oak Knoll gulf course. Coach Dan Bulkley's Raider runners took the first four places. Bulkley said that "the Raiders should be real tough in next week's Oregon Colle giate conference meet" at Oak Knoll course this Saturday, at 12:15 p.m. Litlle Terry Boatman cross ed Ihe finish line first for the Southern Oregon squad with a time of 22:49.04.

MLDFOHD, OHEGON "Baker To Burke7 Is Becoming As Common As 'Bread & Butter' By HOWARD APPLEGATE Portland - iliPli - "Baker to Burke," "Baker lo Burke" . . . has been repeated so many times, 50 to be exact, this football season that it's as common as "bread and but ter." In fact, it is bread and but ter to Oregon State's football team. ' Terry Baker to Vern Burke form the hottest college pass ing combination in the coun try. So much has been written about Baker that about all that is left for him is to be a consensus All-America quar terback. If lie isn't a lot of college coaches will be wrong. But, you may ask, who's this other guy? Well, around Oregon State University in Corvallis they're asking, "who are these guys Bcdsole Hal of Southern California and Campbell Hugh of Washing ton State?" Briefly, Burke is a 6-4,2, 188-pound end who transfer red to Oregon State from Bakersfield, Calif., junior col lege this fall. Nation's Leader After his first seven games he was the national pass catching leader with 50 com pletions, nine for touchdowns, and 791 yards. He'd broken all of Oregon State's single Johnson Edges Cadilli In Fight At Night Club Hollywood - lUPU - Gil Ca dilli failed in his attempt to gain the California feather weight championship Monday night, and now lie hopes he won't fail in his plans for a fighting tour of Australia. Cadilli was lo leave Friday for Australia and three sched uled bouts there. However, after the loss to titlist Don Johnson at the Moulin Rouge nightclub, the veteran Los Angeles boxer expressed the fear the defeat might cause a change in plans. Johnson, who like Cadilli weighed 126 pounds, forced the action in the la-round bout, coasted midway through the fight and then came on strong in the final rounds to win a unanimous decision. The Joe Louis - promoted card drew a near capacity crowd of 1,000 at the night club.

He caught 12 passes in his first game against Iowa State and has proved since it was no flash-in-the-pan perform ance. The question is inevitably asked docs Baker make Burke look good, or vice versa? The answer is-both. Baker uses his great run ning ability to allow Burke extra time to get clear. And Burke, who for a gangly guy is a pretty shifty runner him self, does this remarkably well. And Baker's pretty good at getting the ball near him where those big hands take care of Ihe rest. Why Run? To illustrate: Against Wash ington, trying to hold the ball and protect a 13-7 lead late in the game, Baker threw to Burke for first downs instead of using the conventional Bill Carey's Team White City Victor White City - Team of Bill Catey, Bill Boyles, John Lee and Walter Roberts turned in an average net of 60 Friday for the honors in United Vol unteers services spons o r e d golf play at the Veterans Ad ministration domiciliary.

A fumble on a line play finally gave Wash, ington possession and the Huskies pulled it out 14-13 with three minutes left. Against West Virginia, Burke was defensed by two men all afternoon. But he caught eight passes, two for touchdowns. On one of the Td's he leaped high to snare the ball away from defenders. On the other - with the clock run out at the half - he oul raced the secondary to grab a 50-yarder. In that same game he picked off a pass that had been touched by both a fellow Beaver and a West Virginia defender, and conversion from Baker after the latter bobbled the ball on an extra point kick effort. Oregon State ended up by trouncing the previously un beaten Mountaineers 51-22. Now they're talking bowl bid at the independent school. They'd have to go a long way to find a more attractive com bination than "Baker lo Burke." WRESTLING MEDFORD ARMORY Thurs. Nov. 8 MIDGETS Little Baaver and Tiny Tim VI.
