football championship squad is pictured above. The Black Tornado, which
is also defending state champ in Class A-l, will carry its title defense another
step this Friday night when it goes to Roseburg. This will be an Oregon
quarterfinal playoff game.
College Passing Mileage
Reaches All-Time High
NEW YORK (UPI) - Gus
Dorais and Knute Rockne of
Notre Dame could hardly have
realized what they were starting
when they introduced the first
attack of any consequence to
surprise Army in 1913.
Now, 50 years later, the na
tion's college footballers are us
ing the air for more than 40
per cent of their travel.
( The figure has been soaring
steadily, reaching a record 39.0
per cent last year, but not until
Saturday did it go over the 40
per cent mark. Not only has 40.1
per cent of the 1963 season's
mileage to date been pass-produced,
but 24 major teams have
gained more in the air than on
the ground and 33 players have
thrown for more yardage than
anyone has carried the ball
from scrimmage.
Emphasizing the point is the
fact that seven of the top 10
major teams in total offense are
also in the top 10 in passing in
NCAA Service Bureau statistics
released today. This oassing
fancy has also influenced the
scoreboard, since the only two
teams now averaging over 30
points a game Utah State and
Navy are also among the air
powers.
Texas Exception
The most notable exception to
the rule is Texas, which came
through its battle with air
minded Baylor as the majors'
only all-winning team after Au
burn and Princeton were both
dropped from the unbeaten
ranks over the weekend. And
Princeton has rolled to its 6-1
record with an almost total dis
dain for the pass. The Tigers
have thrown the ball only 54
times, but made them count for
five touchdowns.
On top in- total offense and
scoring is Utah State, sixth in
the passing ranks. Wichita, third
in passing, is second in total
offense. Navy is fifth in pass
mg, seventh in total offense,
second in scoring and is the na
tion's pass-accuracy leader in a
runaway. The Middies have
een successiui on .669 of neir
pass attempts and the only oth
er major witn a better than
per cent completion record
Washington, .602.
Tulsa took advantage of Bay-
iurs siruggie wun Texas to sit
in the Bears' chair as this
week s team passing leader. Ne
braska is fourth in total offense
combining its rushing lead with
only 722 passing yards.
Mississippi, one of two un
beaten but tied, majors, is ninth
in total offense, seventh in pass
ing ana nrst in the nation in
touchdown passes with 15.
Bills Make
Genuine Run
BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI)-De-
spite a chain of demoralizing
injuries ana munea opportuni
ties, the Buffalo Bills are mak
ing men- nrsi genuine run m
four years at the American
Football League title.
Lou Saban, the 42-year-old
coach of the Bills, said the
Eastern Division chase "will go
ngni aown 10 tne wire " follow
ing Buffalo's 27-17 victory over
Denver Saturday night.
This was Buffalo's third con
secutive triumph and fifth iri
six games and it lifted the Bills
(5-4-1) into second place, only
half a game behind Houston
(6-4). This is Buffalo's highest
level in four years.
"The boys have never quit,"
baban said. We have some
sound men,- especially Capt.
Billy Shaw, who doesn't panic
when things get rough."

PORTLAND (UPI) -Mel Ren-
fro will be almost fully healthy
and Tom Nowatzke is the "best
fullback in the Big 10."
Those comments were made
Tuesday at the meeting of the
Oregon Sportswriters and Sport-
casters Association by advance
men for Saturday's Oregon-Indiana
football game here.
Art Litchman, athletic public
relations chief at Oregon, said
Renfro would be "just about 100
per cent" for the game. Renfro
suffered a cracked rib in the
Washington game here Oct. 26.
- f uture In Portland
Tom Miller, publicity chief for
Indiana, said Nowatzke, who
blitzed Oregon State last week,
was the best fullback in the Big
10 and possibly the country."
The crowd in Saturday's
game here is being watched as
a possible indication of the fu
ture of college football in Port
land. There has been pressure
to return all Oregon and Oregon
State games to their campuses
and a small crowd Saturday
could help this movement along.
Oregon, incidentally, has
played Big 10 teams seven times
and has lost all seven.

Bump Elliott Selected
U Pi's Mentor of Week
By VITO STELLINO
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPD-
When Bump and Pete Elliott
played together for Michigan in
the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1948,
Bump never dreamed that one
day he would throw a roadblock
to his younger brother's path to
the post-season classic.
But that s exactly what hap
pened last Saturday when Bump
piloted Michigan to a stunning
14-8 triumph over the Illinois
club coached by Pete to earn
the United Press International
coach of the week" honors.
Illinois went into the game
ranked as the nation's No. 2
team with an excellent chance
of going to the Rose Bowl.
But Michigan, a young team
that is suddenly jelling, had dif
ferent ideas.
Michigan had a sorry 1-3-1
record after five games and
seemed in jeopardy of sinking
below last year's 2-7 mark and
finishing in the Big Ten base
ment for the second straight
season. '
But the ' Wolverines upset
Northwestern, 27-6 two weeks
ago and then utilized a tough
defense and capitalized on a
fumbled pitchout recovery in
the last seven minutes to nip
Illinois and even their mark at
3-3-1 for the season and 2-2-1 in
the Bia Ten.
Now the odds are against the
Illini. They would have to win
their final two games against
Wisconsin and frontrunner Mich
igan State while Ohio State
would have to lose to either
Northwestern or Michigan for
Pete to go to the Rose Bowl.
Bump, 38, now has wh'pped
brother Pete,- 37, in the only
four games that they've coached
against each other but Bump
refuses to believe that he has
a jinx or a hex over Pete.
"I don't believe in those
things and I'm sure that Pete
doesn't either. It's been four
separate occasions and it's just
happened that way.
1 m certain that the kids on
the field don't feel there's a
jinx." he added, "the ball takes
a lot of funny bounces."
Now that the Illinois game is
past, Bump, who is still real
close to his brother and doesn't
exactly relish the idea of bat-
tling him every year, is rooting
for the Illini again.
"Sure, I'd like to see them
win the rest of their games," he
said.
But he neatly sidesteps the
point that he could still help
Pete to go to Pasadena by knock
ing off Ohio State in two weeks.
"Right now, we re concerned
about Iowa this week, that's the
only game on our mind," he
said.
Top-Rated Grid Clubs
Favored This Weekend
NEW YORK (UPI)-There'U
be no holding the nation's four
top-ranked teams this weekend
according to the college football
oddsmakers.
Texas, Navy, Mississippi, and
Michigan State the power
elite of the major college set
all have been installed two
touchdown or better favorites
for Saturday's games, as has
been ninth-ranked Nebraska.
The rest of the nation's top
10 are expected to have their
hands full 1 with tough oppo
nents, especially Illinois (No. 8)
which is a three-point underdog
to Big Ten rival Wisconsin.
Top ranked Texas, with only
two teams standing between
them and the Southwest Con
ference title, a Cotton Bowl
bid, and the national champion
ship, risks its perfect record
against Texas Christian (3-3-1).
The Longhorns, the only major
college outfit with a spotless
slate, are 12V4 point choices.
Roger Staubach's sensational
passing has made Navy (No. 2)
a solid 12-point favorite over a
20-20 Duke team, although the
Blue Devils are presently in a
three-way tie for the Atlantic
Coast Conference title.
Mississippi Rates
Third ranked Mississippi,
skipping merrily to another
Southeastern Conference cham
pionship, rates 15Vi points bet
ter than erratic Tennessee;
Dunch-drunk Notre Dame, bat
tered and bruised by Navy and
Pittsburgh in its last two
games, is unlikely to get any
sympathy from Michigan State
(No. 4) which rates a i3V4-poini
selection on the strength of its
Big Ten leadership; and Ne
braska is is points stronger
than Oklahoma State.
Pitt (Ms. 5), Oklahoma (No.
6), and Alabama (No. 7) all
rate one-touchdown favorites
over ranked opponents. The
Panthers are 7-point picks over
Army (No. 12) In the East's
feature game; the Sooners are
favored by 8V4 over Big Eight
rival Missouri (No, 15) und
'Bama is given the same
spread over 13th-ranked Geor
gia Tech with versatile Billy
Lothridge.
Georgia, paced by passer
Larry Rakestraw, is a six-point
underdog, to loth-ranked Au
burn's ground forces, led by
Jimmy Sidle.
In a pair of Friday night
games, Southern California is a
1 2 1 i point favorite over Oregon
State in a West Coast clash,
and Xavier is an eight-point
choice over Detroit.
