Jim wpnren Detroit, Green Bay Knot 13-13 By United Press International The Greert Bay Packers suf fered another chattering loss in their traditional Thanksgiving Day game with the Detroit Li ons Thursday but this time it wasn't the game. The favored Packers, who were blitzed a year ago in the holiday game, were tied by the fired-up Lions, 13-13, in the fin al 18 seconds. But in the process, the Pack ers lost tneir standout miacne linebacker, Ray Nitschko, who broke a bone in his right fore arm in the fourth period. Witscnkes injury wasn l Be lieved serious after the game but x-rays taken when the team re turned to Green Bay revealed the fracture that sidelined him for the season. Packer Coach Vince Lombar- di is still convinced the Pack ers have a chance to make the National Football League title game for the fourth straight season. But the deadlock with De troit didn't help the Packers' chances of overtaking Chicago, especially since the club has now lost Nitschke. The Chicago Bears, who play Minnesota Sunday, are 9-1-1 in the Western Division while the Packers are second with a 9-2-1 record. If the Bears lose one of their final three games and the Pack ers win their final two, the clubs will meet in Green Bay in a playoff for the Western Division title. The Bears have already beaten the Packers twice this season. It may be the year for play offs In the NFL: In the Eastern Division three clubs Cleve land, St. Louis and New York are tied for first place. Two of them, Cleveland and St. Lou is, play in the feature game Sunday in St. Louis. Besides the Chicago-Minnesota game, the other four games Sunday will feature New York at Dallas, Philadelphia at Pitts burgh, Baltimore at Washington and Los Angeles at San Fran cisco. The ailing Lion defense, which gave up 28 points to Los Angeles and 34 to Minnesota In its last two games, was keyed up for the Packer game and bolstered by the return of Dick Lane and Yale Lary to the de fensive backficld even though they were still slightly hamp ered by injuries. The defense predominated throughout as the clubs played to a 6-6 halftimc tie and then traded touchdowns in the final period. Bart Starr tossed a seven-yard pass to Ron Kramer for the TD to put the Packers ahead, 13-fi, with 9:07 remain ing in the game. Lion quarterback Earl Mor rall then directed a slow but steady 78-yard drive that was climaxed with Nick Pictrosante leape over from the one-foot line on fourth down with l(i sec onds left. The Lions' ability to move on key third down plays and a pass interference coll on Jesse Whittenlon on the goal line were the key factors in the drive.

Oaklanders Win 26-10 By United Press International The Oakland Raiders still had visions of an American Football League championship in their heads today following a 26-10 inannsgiving Day win over Denver's victory-starved Bron cos. the Haiders, with a 7-4 rec- ord good for second Dlace in the AFL's Western Division hphinrl San Diego, will be pulling for Houston Sunday when the East ern Division leaders play the Chargers at San Dieno. If the i-nargers lose Sunday and then fall to the Raiders the follow ing week, the two teams will be tied for the Western Division lead. Oakland strengthened Its al ready strong hold on second place in the division with Thursday's win over Denver as the Raiders star running back, Clem Danilcs, tore up the Bron cos' defense for 90 yards in 16 carries. The loss pushed Den ver deeper Into the league cel lar. Denver and Oakland both will be idle Sunday. In other games, Buffalo plays al Boston and New York is at Kansas City. If Houston loses to ban Diego, the winner of the Boston-Buffalo game will tie the Oilers for first place in the Eastern Division.

And for Syracuse, 14-7 winner over Notre Dame, it's just Dlain old sweet revenge. lexas, now assured of being the host in the Cotton Bowl game on Jan. 1, can look for ward hopefully to next week when the final football ratings of the 1963 season are made by the UPI board of coaches. The Longhorns went into Thursday's game with the No. 1 national ranking and came out of it with a 10-0 season record, the only perfect mark among major col leges. But for a long time as the shadows began to fall at Col lege Station, Tex., Thursday, it looked like Texas' goose rather than turkey was cooked. Jim Keller of the Aggies had flipped two touchdown passes of 54 and 29 yards and in return Texas had only a 27-yard field goal by barefoot Tony Crosby. Trailing, 13-3, going into the fourth period Texas rallied for two touchdowns the first af ter three minutes of play when Tommy Ford crashed over from the one and the second several minutes later, set up by Tom my "Wade's passes and scored by Duke Carlisle on a one-yard plunge. i The Big Ten announced selec tion of Illinois for the Rose Bowl just as soon as the Illini had beaten Michigan State, thanks to a brilliant defense plus a touchdown by Joe Grabowski on a 14-yard run and two field goals by Jim Plankcnhorn.

Woods, Water, Wildlife ly Hink DoVou There arc more than few fishermen around here who feel the game commission wasn't justified in proposing to close the Rogue to salmon lisning above the mouth of E'.k creek. However, they did feel that something must be done to stop the snagging activities that were becoming more and more of a problem, and would have ac cepted any move short of a closure. The fact that the com mission did reverse itself and finally decided against the clos ure is an indication it is open to reasonable arguments. . THE SINGLE HOOK The outlawing of the use of treble hooks for salmon fishing in the upper river has been I constant theme of this column and of many of those who love to fish for the Rogue Chinook. We all are pleased to see the game commission willing to try this as a means of controlling the snagging problem. Accord ing to its news release, the com mission has Instituted the single hook regulation from Pierce Wittenberg Tops Small School Pool NEW YORK (UPI) Witten berg wound up on top last year and that's exactly where it's picked to finish again this year by the coaches who make up the United Press International small college basketball rating board. The Tigers from Springfield, Ohio, who compiled a 26-2 rec ord last season and have lost only one starter by graduation, received 10 first place votes and polled a total of 232 points in the pre-season balloting by the 35 coaches. Evansville was second with 203 points and Grambling third with 190. Seeks 67th Wittenberg, which turned in the best defensive record in the country last season by holding its opponents to an average of 45.9 points a game, seeks its 67th straight victory at home Saturday when it opens the sea son against Otterbein. South Dakota State, which beat Wittenberg for the NCAA college division title last season by two points, was ranked fourth in the coaches' pre-season size-up with 180 points. One of the major surprises was the fifth place rating for Pan American, the NAIA champion last season. Pan American drew . 10 first place votes, the same as Wittenberg, but was named on fewer ballots than the Tigers and collected 168 points.

Under this regulation anglers wonld be al lowed to fish with lure or bait with one single-tined hook at tached. ' THANKS Special thanks from all con cerned should go to those few who willingly took Uie time to go to Portland last Friday and represent the rest of us in ask ing for a single hook regulation in place of the closure. It is fairly certain that the change wouldn't have been accomplish ed without attendance and the insistence that the fishermen of Southern Oregon wanted the single hook regulations and would be willing to help make it work. MAKE IT WORK No law or regulation la going to solve the problem of magging on the Rogue until fishermen are willing to consider the snag ger as a thief and will do more than just watch him at his thievery. Direct action in the form of telling the snagger he is illegal and immediately call ing the state police with such information as license numbers, names and description is the kind of problem solving activity needed. Unless this kind of help is a part of the new regulation we are going to find the com mission closing the upper river as the only workable solution. MORE TROUBLE The Rogue river isn't going to have a quiet life at any time; it seems that when one problem gets fairly well worked out there is another one brewing. Accord ing to a report from the Game Commission, the Grants Pass Irrigation District has prevent ed fish passage at Savage Rapids dam for the past four weeks. The district claims that work is needed on the pumps and turbines, and has diverted the water so that migrating salmon and steelhead cannot pass the dam. After four weeks no repair work has been started and no fish have passed. HELPING HAND The Game Commission has made four attempts at salvag ing those fish stranded at the dam and has accomplished the following: A total of 573 salmon and steelhead have been taken out of the ladders and put over the dam: a total of 2,000 ju venile salmon and steelhead have been trapped and taken below the dam to continue tneir journey to the ocean. A total of 420 adult and juvenile salmon and steelhead have been killed as a result of this problem. THE ANGLER'S LOG All anglers are reminded that tomorrow is the last day that fishine will be permitted from Gold Ray Dam downstream in the Rogue. On Sunday, Dec. 1, the deadline will move down to Hellsgate canyon, and fishing for steelhead will be permitted from that point downstream to the mouth of the Rogue until Feb. 28. November 30 also marks the end of the salmon season in the lower Rogue below Mule creek and in the Illinois river. chptco nlvar Is clearing and riNhahle. Thera is a rcoort that a stcelhearl has bean taken and the first straffglers of tne mam winter run are in. some salmon are oeing taken below Tidcrock. Illinois River There are a few steelhead being taken by a few early fishermen. As a matter of fact, about anyone who has tried It the past few days has had a fish or two on. Anyone for luck? Klamath River F I s h I n g for steelhead has been slow despite the large number of fish known to be in the river. Maybe It's the moon, or mavbe It's California, or may be it's something we'll never know. Rngur River There are fish scattered the length of the river from Savage Rapids dam down stream. Reports from the lower river indicate that the hig winter fish arc starting up and making themselves available up to Agncss. Smith River F I s h are hcing taken every day with the propor tion of steelhead to salmon chang ing in favor of the steelhead. The salmon are still coming in, but the main run is past. Wlnctiiirk River This lillle ri ver has been putting out some good salmon and a few steelhead the past few days. Water condi tions are just right. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Now is the time to give thanks that this time of the year has finally come around again and serious fishing can begin. Trout fishing can he interesting, but it takes a big steelhead to give a fisherman the pleasure shakes. 1 GOOD LUCK! r "Paid less. Cot operating cost Vj. Big 6' x 4'8' bed carries up to 2000 lbs.

Webfoots Slight Favorites Over OSU Beavers Saturday EUGENE (UPI) -Oregon re mained a slight favorite over Oregon State today despite the loss of Mel Renfro, its great halfback, Renfro was declared out of the game after accidentally slashing his right wrist at his home last Friday night. The mishap severed a nerve. Rose Bowl At Stake Tomorrow By United Press International They come roaring down the home stretch in the race for the roses Saturday with three teams in the Big Six still in the battle for a bid to the post-season classic at Pasadena. It's Washington vs. Washing ton State in the north; Southern California vs. UCLA in the south; and Stanford vs. Califor nia in the center. About a quarter of a million fans are expected to see the three clashes two of which will have a direct bearing on the Rose Bowl. The three teams still with a chance to make the trip to Pas adena are Washington, USC and UCLA. The Huskies have a 3-1 conference record, while UCLA and Washington State are 2-1. Washington plays five confer ence games compared with four for the two Los Angeles clubs. Conld Be Scramble So it could wind up in a scramble especially if there should happen to be a tie in the north country. If UCLA should win and Washington lose, the Bruins could go to the Rose Bowl with the worst record in history. Right now they have an over-all mark of 2-7 and could be 3-7. But Washington and Southern California aren't exactly perfec tion, either. The Huskies, if they win the bid, would go against the Big Ten team carrying a 6-4 record. USC could come in with a 7-3 mark. If Washington wins, it will get the bid, no matter what happens in Los Angeles. A telegraphic vnte of the fac ulty representatives of the schools will be taken immedi ately after the games. If the vote should end in a tie, then selection of the Rose Bowl team would be delayed. Ford Again A sellout crowd of 55,000 will watch Washington send fullback Junior Coffey and quarterback Bill Douglas against a Washing ton State team that creamed Stanford, 32-15, in its last out ing. In that one, a sub quarter back named Dale Ford took over to pilot the Cougars to vic tory and he may have a lot to say about just what Washing ton will be doing on New Year's Day. Washington is a 13 point favorite. The big man for UCLA in its battle to knock over Southern California is end Mel Profit, who may be the greatest all around wingman in the nation. He is a fine blocker, great on defense and an excellent pass catcher. Against him the Trojans put up one of the country's out standing linebackers in guard Damon Bame; two of the finest running backs in the West in Willie Brown and Mke Garrett; and quarterback Pete Beathard, who has returned from the in jured ranks. Stanford and California, tan gling for the 66h time in a se ries that dates back to 1892. have nothing at stake except their own prestige. The Indians, with a 2-7 rec ord, are a two-point favorite to whip the Golden Bears (4-4-1). SETS NEW RECORD EAST LANSING, Mich. (UPI) Michigan State football games were watched by a record 585, 369 fans this year. Attendance of 74,342 at Thursday's finale against Illinois pushed Michigan State's total attendance at all games for the 1963 season over I the old school record of 575,396 I in 1953. The two teams collide at 1:30 p. m. Saturday for the 67th time on the football field. The game was postponed from last Satur day. Sophomore Dennis Keller, who has seen considerable duty at the left halfback slot this sea son, will fill in for Renfro. "We'll miss Renfro," said Coach Len Casanova, in prob ably the understatement of the season. The senior halfback, who was an all-Amcrican as a junior closed his college career with 1,540 rushing yards, or a 5.7 average, completed 14 of 31 passes for 267 yards and 4 touchdowns, caught 41 passes for 644 yards and 5 touchdowns, scored 23 touchdowns and had 1,807 yards total offense. He did this despite missing four games as a junior and two as a sen ior. Both Clubs Helped However, the week's delay helped both clubs iniurywise. Tackle Ray Johnson, and sopho more guards Mark Kichards and Ancer Haggerty of Oregon have been improving. Coach Tommy Prothro of Ore gon State who was bedridden himself much of last week with a bad back, has been reluctant to talk about his injury list. But speedy halfback Leroy Whittle is reported ready to go. The game is expected to pro duce plenty of aerial fireworks, with Oregon's Bob Berry throw ing to a flock of receivers and Oregon State's Gordon Queen zeroing in on the great Beaver end, Vern Burke. Berry has 14 AL Rookie Honor Goes To Peters BOSTON (UPI) - Southpaw Gary Peters, who had missed major league baseball's brass ring in four earlier trials with the White Sox, today was named the American League Rookie of the Year for 1963. The 26-year-old Chicago pitch er who had never pitched enough to attain major league status during his first four bids, racked up a 19-8 record last season to beat out teammate Pete Ward for the rookie honor. Results of balloting by mem bers of the Baseball Writers as sociation of America (BWAA) announced here by national Sec retary Hy Hurwitz showed Pet ers the winner on 10 of the 20 ballots. Third baseman Ward collect ed six of the remaining votes while Minnesota slugger Jim mie Hall got the other four. Informed of the award at Sarasota, Fla., Peters said he thought Ward would get it. "I had an idea it would be close but I thought Pete would win it because he played every day and I din't," Peters said.

I J OCT YOU DIDN'T KNOW by Paul Lea Nowadays, all major sports teams travel by air, but do you know which was the very first in history ever to fly to a game? . . . The University of New Mexico claims it was first, and there's a humor ous twist to 'the story . . . Back in 1929, New Mexico had a football game against Occidental College in Los Angeles, and New Mexico officials decided to make history by flying their team there . . .
