SUNDAY,
Major Football Powers Win Openers;
Huskies Unset: Cal, Idaho Also Win
By JOE GERGEN
UPI Sporti Writer
The nation's major college
football powers, with nary a
stumble In their powerful
strides, steamrolled their open
ing day opposition Saturday on
a program that produced few
major surprises.
Southern California, Oklaho
ma, Northwestern, Wisconsin,
Alabama, Navy and Syracuse
all rated among the country's
top teams scored important
victories. Only Washington,
which bowed to the Air Force
Academy, 10-7, and Maryland,
a 36-14 victim of North Carolina
State, suffered major upsets.
USC Has Troubles
Southern Cal, last year's na
tional champions, encountered
unexpected difficulty from weak
Colorado before escaping with a
14-0 victory. Quarterback Pete
Beathard scored both Trojan

JALOPY Auto racers from Heno, Nevada
are slated to head up the field of more than
50 jalopies entered in this afternoons Medford
Speedway program at their White City oval.
Jack Keck, center, will be driving this entry,
a 1952 Cadillac sedan. Helping the Nevada
Showers May Hold
Down Dust At
Speedway
Jalopy racers and fans of this
popular Rogue valley sport may
get a little damp at this after
noon's program at the Medford
Speedway, according to the lo
cal weatherman. When this was
written late yesterday afternoon
the prediction was for showers
this morning but tapering off
during the afternoon hours.
Track officials said this would
not hamper the races, in fact
the morning showers might
dampen the ground enough to
keep down the dust that has
been a problem on the auto
racing oval.
Time trials are slated to begin
at 12:30 with a field of more
than 50 autos in the running.
The competition events will start
at 2 p.m. with the trophy dash.
Following will be four heat
races, the Semi-Main, and the
25-lnp Main Event.
After the main event race two
special events will highlight the
afternoon's action. First the
women drivers will go to the
poll for the powderpuff feature
and then comes the climax of
the meet, the "Destruction Der
by."
At least a dozen cars are ex
pected to be out for today's
destruction event. Winner of this
bash-om-up endurance trial will
he the last car that can move,
Antics of the drivers are quite
humorous since the object of the
game is to put the other cars out
of commission without hurting
your own beyond the point
where you can still make it
move.
All cars in the destruction
event are stock cars and are
not cut away and gutted-out
like the jalopies. Doors are
chained shut, glass removed,
and the drivers must wear seat
belts and safety helmets. To
day's destruction spectacle will
be staged on the section of the
track directly in front of the
grandstand.
Jalopy racers will be headed

the obstacles which included a

Sooners, who clash with the Tro

exhibited tremendous power on
the ground to erase a 14-7 half
time deficit and whip strong
Clemson, 31-14. The Tigers, rat
ed the best team in the Atlantic
Coast conference, outgaincd the
heavily favored Sooners but
couldn't cope with Oklahoma's
long-gainers.
Northwestern and Wisconsin,
co-favorites in the Big Ten title
picture, enhanced their reputa
tions with victories over non
conference foes. Wisconsin rout
ed an undermanned Western

95-yard TD jaunt from scrim

Jack Keck of Reno. Keck will
be racing on the Medford Speed

his home track in Reno. He is
former valley resident and
used to race on the old Ashland
Speedway some years ago.
Race fans were reminded to
bring rain gear if the weather
looks threatening this afternoon
because the stands at the track
are not covered. A concession

STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) -Stanford's
football team got new
head coach John Ralston off on
the right foot Saturday when it
whipped San Jose State, 29-13,
before 30,000 fans.
All four of the Indian touch
downs were scored by Dick
Ragsdale, ex-Mcdford high foot
ball standout. He got the first
on a nine yard pass from Clark
Weaver, the second on a 49-yard
scamper, the third on another
pass good for 35 yards from
Weaver and then romped 45-
yards after taking a lateral
from Steve Thurlow.
San Jose tried to ride on the
passing arm of Rand Carter,
but the Indians proved too tough
in the clinches.
Ralston constantly shuffled
fresh troops into t h e game,
wearing down the Spartans' aft
er a fairly even first half.
Stanford took the opening kick
