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.

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

Ohio, who compiled a 26-2 rec
ord last season and have lost

received 10 first place votes

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

riffle. JUST BELOW SAVAGE
RAPIDS DAM. to the npstreara
deadline at Prospect. 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!

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.

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.

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 . . . But Coach Roy
Johnson cautiously sent only
the second team and the stu
dent manager by air . . . He.
and the first team went by
train!
Eddie LeBaron, who stands
5-7, has been the smallest
player in pro football the
last few years, but do you
know who holds the record
for being the smallest of all
time in big league pro foot
ball? . . . That honor goes to
Buddy Young who was a star
runner in the 1940s and
1950s . . Buddy was only
5-4.
Did you know that one of
today's pro football quarter
backs is literally a genius?'
... He is Frank Ryan of the
Cleveland Browns . . , In IQ
tests in college, Ryan has
scored in the genius class
. . . He went to Rice and
now in the off-season is
working on his doctor's de
gree in methematics.
Right now we find our
selves in between seasons,
but with plenty of live foot-ba-'l
yet to bt played in the
colleget and professional
ranks. The Army Navy battle
should be a dandy! At
Thanksgiving time, we would
like to ad our word of ap
preciation to all our fine
friends who have supported
our business during the past
years. We appreciate your
Interest and look forward to
continuing to do our best to
serve you in the best pos
sible fashion. We're proud
of our record and proud of
the Rambler car.
