Wisconsin and Noire Dame are favored by a touchdown. The Irish contest is the TV Came of the Week. Coach Jess Hill's Trojans could give the Badgers some trouble. Still nursing an idea of taking the Pacific Coast Conference title, they could well be on the rebound after a 7-0 upset by Washington last weekend. The Trojans are in top shape for this one. Wisconsin has two limping stars quarterback Jim Jiiller and tackle Jerry Cvengros. Michigan State doesn't figure to have things as easy this week as last Saturday in its 38-14 decision over Stanford. Still, the Spartans loom as the best test yet for the Irish, who are unbeaten, untied and unscored upon. Michigan State has one loss to date a H-7 decision against Michigan, the No. 1 .team in the nation. With Wisconsin busy outside the conference, Michigan looks to claim a-share of the Big Ten lead after dealing with winless North western tomorrow.

In addition to tonight's West Coast battle, Dukc-Ohio State and Washington-Baylor add intersec tional spice to the weekend.

The officials denied that anything was wrong. Mark Batterson, sports editor of The Austin American,' said he was shocked by some of the things "which apparently only bored the referees -on the field" in the Texas-Oklahoma game. He said movies of the contest showed that two Texas players, taken off the field with brain con cussions "owe their injuries to Sooner activities which should have been policed by the referees on the field." Batterson said that "very clear lit the movie, for instance, is a Flilf uppercui delivered on fullback Larry Graham. As for halfback Mickey Smith, who was released from a Dallas hospital only Wednesday, his head injury was caused by a Sooner who kneed him alter he was tackled." At Fort Worth, sports editor Flcm Hall of The Star-Telegram commented that "Thousands of spectators in the west stands of the Cotton Bowl stood up and booed Saturday when' Mickey Smith, 170-pound Texas sophomore halfback was disabled by a knee blow to the neck while he lay on the ground. No foul was called. There were other fouls that went uncalled." At Norman. Coach Bud Wilkin son of Oklahoma declined com ment on the charges while at Little Rock, Cliff Shnw, referee of the Oklahoma-Texas game, dis claimed any knowledge of upper cuts and kneeing. He said both coaches "made a point of coming to us after the game. They said it was as well worked a game as they had ever seen." . tv- vf IHliU-'- it t 111 1 lift rr ".-v. rV Plrxr' v W 7 SCIFLww Jured a leg in practice this week.

Out OfQeeJU Wilk ' The Sportsman Weekend Hunting Outlook By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The State Game Commission sees the coming weekend as one hold ing excellent prospects for deer. In most of the state, excluding the southwestern section, hunters who failed to get a buck in the first two weeks of the season, will have a chance for either a buck or a doe. Saturday Is opening for the hunter's choice season except in part of Central Oregon where the opening is Oct. 18. The buck deer only reason con tinues in southwestern Oregon. Minister Uses Faith, Mates Sn Grid Glory WHEATON. 111. i A young minister is making the punt, pass and prayer work for Wheaton Col lege's unbeaten football team. The Rev. David Burnham, 21. is one of Wheaton's all-time triple threat greats. The senior co-captain of the cru saders, a 6-2. 180-pottnder. has gained 274 yards in 18 carries for a 15.1 average in his team's three straight victories. Burnham. who has totalled near ly 3,000 yards and scored 26 touch downs while at Wheaton, last sum mer was ordained to the inde pendent Baptist ministry and voted associate pastor of his father's un denominational church in Akron, Ohio. He also married a Wheaton Col lege cheerleader Sue Huffman, of South Bend, Ind. ' The football squad meets every Friday night before a game," says Burnham. "We pray for our team as well as for our opponents we pray lor good sportsmanship to prevail, and it does. "Every time before a kickoff I bow my head for a brief prayer that the Lord will help me. Once the game starts, I haven't much time for a real prayer." Burnham gives these reasons for his ability as a triple-threat halfback: "My friends and team mates, without whom I would nev er get beyond the line of scrim mage, and my Heavenly Father, without whom I would not have thp strength. ' Burnham said he is playing foot ball desDite a heart murmur. "I've had it a long time," he adds. "Some doctors say I can't play football. Some say I can. But I want to plav. the Lord willing and I think he is."

The commission in its weekly report said this is the outlook lor the weekend, by districts: Northwest In the south Willamette Valley hunting will be best clce to agri cultural lands where hunters so far have done little hunting. Southwest Recent rains have brought Doug las County conditions to near per fect. A rainless weekend should he a hunter's paradise there. Southern Jackson County has been heavily hunted but prospects arc fair. Northern Jackson County has been lightly hunted and chances are good. In Josephine County the best outlook is east of Highway 99 and 199. Central In the Mt. Hood area ground conditions should be ideal. The best hunting is expected at intermedi ate and lower elevations. Snow at higher elevations will hamper trav el. The best weekend prospects are along the upper Crooked River starting at Post eastward to Paul ina and Camp Creek snd portions of Bear Creek; also the fringes ol the Ochoco National Forest east of Prineville and portions of the for est on the north fork of the Crocked River eastward to the ranger sta lion. Permission must be had to hunt on private lands. There have been rains in the area and condi tions are excellent.

DREWS Manstore 733 Main Ph. 3463 Auburn Bids For SECTitle By BILL I'ERGl'SON Vnlled Pres Sports Writer ATLANTA (UP I The Auburn Tigers will carry hopes of winning their first southeastern Conference championship, 14 years of resent ment and one of their finest teams ever against unbeaten, tin'led and unimpressed Georgia Tech here Saturday. Never before has Auburn had quite so much to win, or to lose, as in this battle of the top un beatens of deep Dixie. This is the gamo.Auuurn Coach Ralph Jordan wants the most. For both Georgia Tech and Au burn this is the biggest hurdle on the path to the Southeastern Con ference crown. Though the season is not yet half completed, the game could decide the championship. Both Tech and Auburn will be fa vored in their remaining conler enco games. GUOUNI) ATTACKS Both teams bank on a dangerous ground attack, but do enough pass ing to kep the defense honest. Both clubs are exceptionally fast and tough on defense. Aub'irn has a more experienced line, with such veterans as tackles Frank D'A;;ostlno and M. L. Bracket!, guard Chuck Maxlme and center Bob Scarbrough. However, Tech has more depth In the backtleld. The Engineers can field two complete backfields. either of which con hold its own with any go-unit in Dixie. Offensively, Auburn depends mainly on the hard running ot full back Joe Childress and the elusive stppptni ol speedy Fob James. BIC.GEST OBSTACLE Auburn's biggest obstacle will be the bugaboo that Tech Coach Bob ,by Dodd holds over Tiger teams. In the ten years, since Dodd be came head coach of the Engineers his teams have won ten out of ten from Auburn. While Tech and Auburn battle for the top spot, two other schools accustomed to the spotlight will fight to see who takes over the SEC cellar. Alabama and Tennes see, who usually furnish the game means little. Alabama has lost three out of three this season. Ten nessee has lost two games and topped only Chattanooga. Three other Southeastern Confer ence games pit Louisiana Stat ncainst Florida. Mississinpi State against Kentucky and Tulane against Mississippi. Miami gets a week off after Its loss to Notre Dame. 9n (BAkfl By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BASEBALL BALTIMORE Eddie Lopat. who pitched 12 years in the major leagues Including five with the New York Yankees, was given his un conditional release by the Balti more Orioles.

EARLY TIMES DISTILLERY Towne Gets Chance In Return To Boxing By JACK HAND NEW YORK Wl The man said he had lunch with Artie Towne. "Who's In town?" his companion asked. That's the way It has been for Artie Towne ever since he started fightlrg in 1944. Nobody recognized the name. In Artie's home town of New York, they recall him vaguely as a fellow called Ray Robinson's "policeman." When Sugar Ray wanted to get rid of somebody, he'd say. "Okay, fight Towne first." After that, they didn't seem to bother Ray any more. By and large, Towne was a stranger in New York rings. He fought in the prelims when Robin son was fighting for the welteM weight title or he picked up a small purse say J250 as a head' liner in places like Scranton, Fa,, or Binghamton, N.Y. Tilings got so tough, Artie finally threw In the sponge In 1952. "The fights came too few." he explained. "I had a wife and I couldn't make enough fighting. So I quit and went to work." "Robinson was too big then," he said. "They didn't have any time for me." Last winter, an old schoolmate, Ross Harvey, talked him into giv ing boxing one more try. Harvey had a connection with Dick Begola. an importer, who would back Towne. Begola became the man ager and Harvey the business agent. After winning four fights, Towne, now 28, headed for England. He stopped Willie Armstrong, the Scotish middleweight cham pion, at Liverpool July 14 In 1:52 of the first and then proceeded to knock out John L. Sullivan, for mer British and British Empire middleweight champ, in 43 sec onds of the first round.

He knocked out Mueller with a right to the head in the ninth round, only to hear the referee disqualify him for hitting on the break. Five days later, Sept. 14, when Towne al ready was back in New York, the West Berlin Boxing Commission ordered the bout to 'be officially entered as a "no decision" contest. Towne's handlers brought afilm clip of the "no decision" bout to show New York newsmen yester day. Mr.' Mueller was out cold as a herring when the film ended.
