Big Ten Teams Clash With
Southern Cal, Notre Dame
; By ED WILKS ..
f The AsesucUtcd Press
The Big Ten conference, always
target (or the ambitious and a
test for the accepted giants, Is
smack dab in the college football
spotlight again this weekend with
sixth-ranked Wisconsin running
against Southern California tonight
and unranked Michigan State con
fronting fourth-ranked Notre Dame
tomorrow.
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. Even with end
Hon Kramer, the big man, injured,
the Wolverines are favored by
three TDs.
In addition to tonight's West
Coast battle, Dukc-Ohio State and
Washington-Baylor add intersec
tional spice to the weekend.
Duke, unbeaten, untied and
" ranked No. U, is Judged even-up
with the onc-bcaten Buckeyes.
Ohio State only yesterday revealed

Officials
Rapped For
Poor Calling
AUSTIN, lex. t.n Football of
ficiating, especially in last week's
Texas-Oklahoma game at Dallas,
was raked over the coals by a
couple of sports writers Friday.
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." .

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."

Georgia Tech, No. 5 and unde

ence game of the day. The winner
gets a big oowl boost. Tech's the

West Virginia. No. 10, figures to

William & Mary.
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. Deer are well
scattered and most are still in the
thickets where they heeded to be
moved out bv hunters who will
beat the brush.
Northeast
Most areas above 5.000 feet now
have snow cover and recent storms
have caused some downward mi
grations. Hunters should cam-
chains as many roads are In bad
condition. Hunting success contin
ues good and the weekend pros
pects are fine in Grant County.
Frenchy Butte. Morgan Creek, Dry
ooaa looKout ana me neaa of Mur
derers Creek all should be good
Jackson ranch at I?,ee Is allowing
minting by permission and
charge. Prospects there are excel
lent. Deer are numerous along the
John Day River bottom between
Twickenham and Dayville, Cher
Creek and Kahler ba:;in. Recent
rains should improve hunting suc
cess in Morrow County. Recent
storms have brought Improvement
in Umatilla County, but huntlnrc
pressure there has been light. The
hunter's choice season should be
good in all areas below snow line
Wallowa County prospects have
improved and the weekend should
be excellent. Baker and Union
County prospects also are good.
especially in the sagebrush areas
or Baker County. The foothill coun-
try near cultivated lands near
Telofasei. Cov and Elgin also
Southeast
Deer hunting is good generally
throughout the southeast area.
Harney county has had some rain.
Hunting has slackened In the Ma
hogany Mountain area but it is be
lieved that Idaho's special hunt.
Oct. 8-12. should cause deer to
move back toward that a-ca north

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.

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.
A total of 633.484 fans turned 1

After three victories In England,
Towne went to Berlin to box Peter
Mueller, who made quite a noise
In America last winter. 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.
