ii I, j WEnNKSDAY- NOVEMBER 2. Top Cms Leaders Expected To Score .r By FRED DOWN I'nlled Press Sporti Writer NEW YORK (UP) It U be t pleasant weekend for the nation's lour major unbeaten and united college football teams. If you listen 10 me Droadway odds-maKers in stead of their coaches. November Is traditionally i t month of upsets on the gridiron but Michigan, Oklahoma nd Maryland have been Installed as heavy favorites in next Saturday's clashes and the bettors aren't even ; ottering a price on West Virginia's 5 game with George Washington. Michigan, the nation's No.' 1 team, was forced to rally to beat J Iowa last Saturday and takes on ,j another Big Ten opponent in ' II j linois but the Wolverines are being quoted as 13-point fnvorites. An up s?t would Ihrw the Rose- Eowl picture out of focus because then a three-team tie for first place could develop. IDENTICAL - . In that event. Michigan State and Ohio State victories would- give j them and the Wolverines identical 4-1 records in conference play. . Michigan State is a 10 - point pick : over Purdue and Ohio State Is a '19-point choice over Indiana. Oklahoma, fresh from 56-21 and ;. 40-7 routes of Colorado and Kans I as State, faces another Big Seven J opponent in Missouri and Is ex- pected to have little difficulty run f ning the longest winning streak in j the country to 25 games. The Soon i ers are 22-pomt favorites to remain on the high road to a New Year's . Day date in the Orange Bowl. Maryland, sporting a 12-game ; winning streak and hoping to meet , Oklahoma In the Orange Bowl, is ; a 19-point choice over Louisiana ' State despite coach Jim Tatum's warning that "LSU can be called the best losing team in the coun t try." PICKED The ease with which the odds makers expect West Virginia to roll over George Washington is pointed up by the fact that the Mountaineers are an "out" choice on a card that lists Notre Dame as a 40-point pick over winless Pennsylvania. The spread for the fighting Irish, who licked Navy, 21-7. last Saturday, Is the largest of the current season. . . 1 UCLA, ranked No. 4 by the United Press board of coaches, Is also an "out" choice against Col lege of Pacific; seventh ranked Georgia Tech is rated seven points over Tennessee in a South-eastern Conference classic and lOth-ranked Navy is favored by 10 points over Duke. In closer "odds-lays," Kansas State and Kansas were listed as "pick "cm," and Penn State and Marquette were one - point choices over Syracuse and Detroit respec tively.

Hill Makes Plans LOS ANGELES (UP) Coach Jess Hill of Southern California looked for new ways today to stop . the Stanford Indians' passing at tack, which is tops in the Pacific , Coast Conference. i Hill scrimmaged his Trojans ' yesterday to polish their running ? game, and thm stnrted work on , defending against Stanford pass patterns. He used various com binations of ends and backs in seeking the right defensive unit to stop the Indians' passing. o s o o c (SB SEE FIRESTONE STORES nsr i i i : I MW), I I M ill I B I J I "a I I 1955 Heavy r Malm Mustangs Wait District Grid Action Mcdford High School football field, will be the place, and Dis trict S-B football honors the con versation as the Malin Mustangs and St. Mary's of Medford Cru saders tangle for a right to enter the state B-hlgh school playoffs. rennan UP Coach By KD SAINSBl Re united press Sports Writer SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPl The old man was there all right. Just as certainly as in the days when the Four Horsemen were the scourge of collegiate gridirons, you could feel the presence of the bald Norwegian. But on tills occasion on the Knute Kockne memorial football gome, the credit belonged to another and nobody would have been prouder than the legendary Rockne himself. He's the United' Press coach of the week, that broth of an Irish lad. Terry Brenntfn of Notre Dame. When Notre Dame's new stadi um was dedicated in the fall of 1930, Navy's Middies were the op ponents and Notre Dame won spectacularly, 26-2. RUNNING WILD That was when Rockne's second great set of four horsemen. Joe Savoldi, Frank Caridco. March- mom Schwartz, and Marty Brill, were running wild. Saturday the names were Paul Hornung, Dean Studer, Don Schaf er, and Jimmy Morse. Remember them well. These backs of Bren- nan's are destined for a measure of fame on their own. Briefly here is now they performed In that 21-7 triumph against Navy. In tne first period Studer re turned a punt 43 yards. In the second period Hornung called a handoff to Studer. The handoff hole closed and Studer missed the ball. Hornung had to run or eat it. He ran for nine yards to Navy's 41 and a vital first down. Schaefer rushed four yards. Again on third down Hornung started to handoff. couidn't make it and ran seven for a first down on the 30. The Irish went on to score. Navy never challenged again. CALM DOWN "The kids got themselves up for the game," Brennan said. "They were so high by Wednesday I had to calm them down." Brenmn cryptically analyzed the difference between Navy's quarterback Oeorge Welsh and his own star, Hornung. "Welsh can do a lot of things well," he said. "Hornung can do evarything well. I wasn't pleased with his play calling early in the season but he has improved so rapidly. Now I have no complaints. He was criticized for a first down pass he threw against Navy. I sent that play in. My only comment Is that later it worked for a touchdown."- -PREPARED ... ' Brennan also pointed out how the Irish readied themselves for any defense the Navy might throw up. Brennan said during the game "they changed their defenses on us." "We tried on the bench to figure out what they were doing on the slant?," he said. "I finally got it and I tried to signal Hornung. But there he was, signalling me. He already had solved it." Of such tilings as that are mould ed great players and great teams. In the tradition of Rockne and Savoldi. Schwartz, Mullins, and Brill.

MILLER CO. 7th and Klamath CLAYTON HANNON SPORTS EDITOR Kickoff time, is scheduled for 8 o'clock Saturday night. Coach Jim Conroy's Mustangs claimed the Klamath County B leaguc title by scoring a 20-7 tri umph over Merrill in a game Fri day night, then this week Sacred Heart torfeited their scheduled game with Malin because of the short period of time between now and the district clash. Malta's league record was an unblemished 4-0, ana for the' season they won six. lost none and were held to a 6-6 tie by Henley,. St. Mary s of Medford won their Jackson County B-League title for the second straight year. The Cru saders are also the defending Dis trict 5-B title-holder. Last year at Merrill. St Mary's whipped Chilo quin 27-19 to snare the district championship. The Mustangs' running attack may he hampered a great deal by Glenn Styeskal's hip Injury suf fered in the Malin-Merrill grid en counter at Merrill. The hard-running 180-pounder is not expected to do much running or contact work until Thursday, and wheth er or not he will be ready to go against St. Mary's is not known at this time. Conroy reported that other than Steyskal, his chargers are all in top physical condition. This will be Malta's third try for district laurels in five seasons. In 1953. Malin whipped Rogue River 42-14 in the 5-B title scrap. In 1951 the Mustangs dropped a 6-0 decision to Phoenix, now an A-2 school. Since 1950, Malin has won the championship on three occa sions and lied for the" bunting twice, once '.villi Merrill and once with Chiloquin. Both times ihe Mustangs were voted out by a principal's ballot. Conroy will probably open with an all senior backfield unit Satur day evening if Steyskal makes a sufficient recovery with his hip in Jury. Should Steyskal be ready, he would be at fullback, with Norm Oliva and Ray Johnson handling the halfback chores. At the quar terback slot of Malin's powerful single-wing will be Jim Johnson, no relation to his backfield team mate Ray. If Steyskal isn't in the Malin starting backfield, little Rol and Harmon, a 140-Rounder will move to halfback and Oliva will carry from th.j fullback post. Tickets will be on sale at the Medford High field prior to game time Saturday evening for those Basin football followers planning to make the trip. Fights By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif.

OREGON Favbnies Pirates Again Top Grid Vote By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The five most potent Oregon high school lootball teams, in the opin ion of sportswriters and sports casters, moved into this late-season week unchanged from their previous position in the Associated Press poll. In the second five, though, there wis a great shuttling and four new names appeared. Five teams with perfect records are in the top ten. led this week as in past weeks by powerful Marshfield. Not only did Marsh field held ltd own place, but its 21-0 victory over Prineville knock ed that school right out of the select group. Following Marshfield in this week's balloting came Gresham, Corvallis. Pendleton and Jefferson of Portland. Grcrham rnd Pendle ton each h?d an 8-0 rcco"d: Marsh V.e'.a is 7-0: Jeif is 7-0-1 and Cor vallis has a defeat at the hands of Gresham for its 7-1 mark. Vale moved up lo No. 6 from No. 7 and this weekend it faces a newcomer to the poll's top 10 Omario lor the district 7 - class 2-A title. Ontario, winner of seven in a rcw. is tied with Hillsboro for the poll's No. 8 spot. . Hillsboro dropped down from No. 0 when McMinnville beat it for the iistrict 4 title in class 1-A and Mc Minnville joined the select group for the first time, at position No. 7. Albany and Medford tied for No. 10 in the poll. That meant dropping from the first 10, South Salem and Cottage Grove, in addition to Prineville. South Salem lost. 7-0. to Corvallis, but Cottage Grove was idle. This weekend Albany and Cor vallis meet. A victory would give Corvallis the district 8 title and Medford plays Grants Pass for the championship of district 6.

Of the seniors, nine are expected to draw starting positions against the Grizzlies. The only two positions where McGln nls will not open with seniors are center and one backfield sjot. Those graduating seniors who will be taking their final fling at prep football are linemen, Larry Heatou, Bob Harshbarger, Bill Ba dorek, Jim McGee, Roy Ropp, Leon Brown, Don Stilwell. Earle Tlchenor and Modesto "Mighty Mo" Jimenez, the team's captain and two-year letterman leader. In the backfield, Donn Taucher, Jer ry Burke, Dave Leellng and Dave Pepple are the "last-year" men. Pepple, who suffered a broken foot in the early part of the season, is still out and will not see action. The only bright spot in the loss of these experienced grldders is the fact that 26 varsity members will be back for action next year. In past seasons the Klamath Ashland meeting has been just a formality with the Pels coming out on top at almost every turn. Since 1936. Klamath has never been beaten by the Grizzlies, but two of the 18 games have closed in deadlocks. Last year McOtnnis' Pels won a 58-0 decision from the Ashland preppers.

Simpson swamped Southern Ore gon football In the middle '40s with his powerhouses that came from Medford High. - The Ashland offensive machine Is led by the running of fullback Harry Johnson and ' halfback Gene Parent. The main weapon used by the Grizzlies this year, besides Johnson and Parent's run ning, is the air ways and passing. In their game with Lakevlew earlier- in the season, the Grizzlies scored four of their five touch downs on passes from Parent to Lance Locke. Graham Bros. Phon 5541 Hi 2 80 PT.
