The Chiefs will host the Lake- view Honkers at 8 p.m. on Fri day. A bunch of the boys nave been out with colds," reported Coach Wayne Misener. "We're shooting them with penicillin like mad." The colds are of the head and lung variety. Main emphasis in workouts, Misener reported, has been go ing at full speed rather than at half effort. "We are working on timing," he said, "and on put ting more effort into each play and each movement." Misener, while giving credit to Illinois defense, said that RR line blocking fell down against the Cougars. Offense and de fense have had equal attention this week. Dick Middleton, three year lettcrmcn fullback and lineback er and a regular until he hurt a knee last season, is working out with the Chiefs. A r d e n Lilcs, who has been hobbled by a bad knee, can go at about full speed now and is slated to alter nate with Alan Gates at half back. Bob Pentecost, guard and safety, who sustained a slight concussion in the game with IV, has a doctor's clearance but may not be used full time. Pre season reports on Lake view termed the Honkers inex perienced and working hard to find youths to play the ends. It was hoped that desire would make up for shortage on ex perience. New Coach Roy Rob ertson had a willing gang which hit hard in drills. There are eight Lakeview Icttermen.

Southern Oregon College Has First Rate Athletic Program, Schopf Reports Ashlanders Eye Victory Opportunity ASHLAND If the Grizzlies are going to get into the victory column, the foe this week is a good one to start with. That's the attitude in the Ash land high football camp as the Bruins tunc for their third ad versary of the season. Ashland battles the Sweet Home Huskies this Friday at Ashland. Toeoff time is billed for 8 p.m. Coach John Gray said that the Grizzlies have had "a good week." He reported, "The kids have been working real hard. They feel this is one they have to come through in." Three changes in starting as signments have resulted from the challenge system. Bill Jury who has been a defensive end has won the offensive left end berth. Bill Wiley has gained the first call at left guard and Charles Kane has won his way back to the right tackle post. Halfback Dennis Ekwall has had an infected tooth pulled. Gray said he feels the gridder will be ready for the Friday tilt but if he's not, Roger Ather ton could be at left half. Ashland enters the tangle af ter bowing to Shasta of Redding and also to Lebanon despite a good second half. Central and Crater have beaten Sweet Home. Other starters for Ashland on offense may be Jim Conklin, center; John Yaple. right guard; Jack Gruber, right tackle; Rick Clark or Glen Smith, right end; Dave Bargcr or Dave Lohman, quarterback; Don Scholcr, fullback, and Mike Torresan, right half.

Baltimore heal rhir-nnn in.9- New York upended Los Angeles, 3-1; and Washington defeated Detroit, 6-2, in other American league games. Cleveland and Minnesota were not scheduled. It was in '55 that the A's fin ished sixth following their move to the Midwest from Philadel phia. But since then, it's been one long season after another. That's why the seventh-place finish seems so important to me as. iney nave four games left in which to achieve their goal compared with only t w o remaining for the Red Sox. The A's won Wednesday's game by coming from behind. Trailing 5-2, the A's scored four runs in the sixth and added the winning run in the seventh on Jerry Lumpe's infield hit. Norm Siebern's single and Ed Charles' sacrifice fly. Baltimore had a big offensive night while beating the White Sox. The Orioles, behind Mike McCormick, pounded out 12 hits to spoil Gary Peters' bid for his 20th victorv.
