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.

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

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

"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.

After his first seven games
he was the national pass

won't fail in his plans for a

Cadilli was lo leave Friday
for Australia and three sched

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.

become the greatest one sea

history.
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

and protect a 13-7 lead late
in the game, Baker threw to
Burke for first downs instead

ground game. 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

Now they're talking bowl

They'd have to go a long way
to find a more attractive com
