FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Terps, West Virginia Face Important Frays By BEN OLAN The Associated Press There's supposed to be some thing about playing at home that makes so-so teams come up with superhuman .efforts. If that's the case, then several of the nation's leading college foot ball powers. Including Maryland and West Virginia, had better be on their toes tomorrow. Not that Clemson, which will face the Terps, and Pittsburgh, which takes on WVU, .are falr-to-middlin' clubs. They're a lot bet ter than that. It's Just that there's a lot at stake In both games and maybe a little of the whoop and holler will spur the underdogs. Maryland, the nation's second lanked team, is heavily favored to Morale Worries Pro Club CHICAGO (UP) A drop in mor ale for the Chicago Bears this Sun day would mean a dropped football game, Owner-Coach George Halas said today, and probably make the National Football League season run somewhat longer. "We can't get any higher than we were last week," he said, speaking of the 52-31 victory over Green Bay. "And It will be pretty bard to stay up like we were then. "If we drop off In morale at all, we could drop off all the way, and If we do that, the Rams might murder us." The Bears game with the Los Angeles Rams ranked as a key contest of the season. A win for the Bears would deadlock the two clubs, with Baltimore perhaps a third team in the tie. for the top rung of the NFL's Western Divi sion. A loss for the Bears would leave Los Angeles - alone In first place with a two game margin over the Bears and either one or two games over Baltimore. , i "If we lose," Halas said, "then I'll stay with my original conten tion that the team that wins eight and loses four will tie for the divi sion championship. If we win, I'll revise It, that a team that wins seven and loses five will tie for It." Halas said "there's not a chance" that either the Rams or Bears will go the rest of the way without defeat after Sunday's game. "The competition's too tough," he said. "They've got Baltimor; twice and we've got Detroit.' And I don't think our chances of beat ing Detroit twice are any better than thelr's are of beating Balti more twice." J Though the' Bears were the top offensive team in the league, wii.h 2.725 yards gain in seven games, Halas feared the Rams defense. Statistics bore out his contention. The Rams have allowed opponents only 887 yards rushing, -while the Bears have been strongest on Vie ground, grinding out 1,562 yards. The Rams have made 1,085 yards rushing and the Bears have al lowed 1,221 yards. In passing the two teams were nearly equal with the Bears pick ing up 1,163 yards compared to 1,158 for the Rams.

Va. lift Jockey Willie Curtln, one of the leading riders at Wheeling Downs this year, says he has no thoughts of returning to steeplechase racing where he got his start in the sad dle. Curtln said he's going to be a rallbird at steeplechase events. "Those steeplechase races are ex citing to watch," claims Curtln. "But they'll never get me to ride them again. I had lots of spills and broken bones." mm To The Music Of ARMORY 0 SATURDAY, GENERAL ADMISSION 1.00 Tox Inc. move further along the Orange Bowl road. SURPRISE Word from the South Carolina school, however, is that it is ;sady to spring a surprise and knock Maryland from the ranks of the unbeaten. Each team is 3-0 in At lantic Coast Conference play. Pittsburgh stands smack in the way of a possible Sugar Bowl bid for West Virginia, which is No. 6 in the country and already has won the Southern Conference title. Should West Virginia win this one, an invitation to New Orleans may be in the mall next week. Besides Maryland and West Vir ginia, other teams playing lmpor tant games on the road are Yale, Duke, Texas Christian, Notre Dame, Auburn and Oregon State. Yale, on the strength of its sur prise victory over Army, is fa vored to knock off Princeton and clinch the Ivy League crown. Duke, though beaten twice and tied in nonconference play, still will have a shot at the ACC crown and the Orange Bowl bid if it can get by South Carolina and Clem son trips Maryland. Texas Christian meets Texas in a game which will go a long ways in deciding the Southwest Confer ence winner. Texas A&M lead:; the league, but it's ineligible for post season action. The Aggies play Rice tomorrow. RATED FAVORITE With three straight victories since being upset by Michigan State, Notre Dame is rated about a four-touchdown favorite over North Carolina. The Tarheels, how ever, showed improved form In thumping South Carolina last week. In the Southeastern Conference, first-place Mississippi goes outside the conference to take on Houston. But Auburn, in second place, must beat Georgia Tech to remain in contention. Ole Miss is 4-1 in loop action while Auburn Is 3-1-1. On the West Coast, UCLA, play ing at home, figures to stay on top of the PCC by beating Washington. Oregon State, the runnerup, meets California. The league records here are UCLA 4-0 and State 4-1. Oklahoma, the No. 1 team in the Associated Press poll, looks like a cinch against Iowa State. Ohio State, Michigan and Michi gan State, the Big Ten powers, all will be at home, the Buckeyes against Iowa, Michigan. against In diana and the Spartans, the coun try's No. 3 team, against Minne sota. Here's the way some of the other ?ames look: EAST: Army to rebound over Penn; Navy should have it easy against Columbia; Harvard and Brown in a close one; ditto Cor nell-Dartmouth. SOUTH: Florida and Tennessee a tossup: same for Tulane-Vander-bilt; Wake Forest seems too stronar for Virginia. MIDWEST: Wisconsin-Illinois In a tight game; Purdue too good for Northwestern; Marquette may sur prise Holy Cross. SOUTHWEST-FAR WEST: South ern Methodist-Arkansas close and Stanford, a shade better than Oregon. . , Dinner Check Basis Of Suit Aqainst Cobb OROVILLE (UP) Elbert D.

Cobb told Felts not to forget $2.80 for some duck decoys Cobb had given Felts a year previously. Felts said he had accepted the decoys as a gift. Felts said that when he agreed to Include the price of the decoys in the check, Cobb struck mm. Earlier. Dr. H. O. Lloyd.

Oul Of Oauu With The Sportsman Hunting Outlook By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Upland bird shooting in Oregon ends at sunset Sunday and so does that general elk season In the coastal area. .That leaves waterfowl as the principal target and the weather has not been bad enough to make that particularly successful in re cent days. The Oregon State Game Commis sion's weekly bulletin discussing prospects by districts says: Northwest Elk hunting has generally been good. Pheasant hunting, luck has been poor with the birds holding close to thick cover. Waterfowl hunting at Sauvie Island has been fair. Stormy weather Is needed to bring Im provement. Southwest Elk are pretty well driven back into remote areas and hunters are faced with the prospect of long treks, especially In Coos County. The Douglas County elk success has dropped off considerably and the weekend outlook Is for some what poor luck. Rogue Valley pheasant hunting has been fair, the Douglas County hunting too promises to be unpro ductive, but quail hunters In Doug las County should have a success ful closing dav. Central Best bet Is quail in Crook and northern Deschutes counties where the outlook Is fair. Pheas ant hunting has been poor. Waterfowl hunting in the Upper Deschutes area has been slow and until there is a weather change it is likely to continue so. Northeast Elk hunting has been fair with the Walla Walla and Uklah areas of Umatilla County producing some bulls. An abundant supply of antlerless elk should be found In the Chesnlmnus and Wenaha areas of Wallowa County, The Mlnam area also should be fair. The desolation area of Grant County has been fair. Hunters should be prepared lor Dad roaas. Unless there is freezing weather, higher roads will be usable only by four-wheeled drive vehicles. - Boutneast Summer Lake area weather has been clear and calm so waterfowl shooting has not been successful but there are 270,000 geese and 3.000 ducks in the area. In Warner Valley the land area opened to hunting on the public shooting grounds has been increased. Many geese and some ducks are there and while success has Deen low, stormv weather would bring im Drovement. Harney County has been poor, and there have been no flights of waterfowl in Malheur Countv. Pheasant shooting has been poor generally in the area.

J-0014 '56 fflay America's Minor EDITORS: This Is the last of a series on what the big minor leagues are doing to combat their problems. Today, the picture Is surveyed In each of the t b r e e leagues, the International, Pacific Coast, and American Association. By CARL LUNDQUIST - ' United press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Less than half of the teams In the big minor leagues made money in 1955, but with characteristic optimism, vir tually all are predicting things will be better next year. The optimism is not unfounded, either. Because of long-r a n g e planning which has Involved fran chise shifting, more lively promo tion, and In some cases shifting, to new parks, the minors In 1956 could enjoy their best season since the lush post war years. In the Pacific Coast League, Seattle, Hollywood, Los Angeles and San Diego operated in the black in 1955, while Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento and Oak land lost money. The Oakland sit uation was so serious it necessi tated transfer of the franchise to Vancouver, .B.C. The American Association had its best year attendance-wise since late in the '40's but paradoxically only two clubs, Denver and Oma ha, made money. They were new entries which drew big at the gate to offset apathy elsewhere. SITUATION In the International, dean of the big minors, Rochester, Columbus, 0 Toronto and Havana had suc cessful years but the situation was bleak at Montreal, Richmond, Va., Buffalo and Syracuse. When the minor leagues hold their annual meetings late this month in Columbus, 0., some NY Knickerbockers Shatter NBA Gate Mark, Top Lakers By UNITED PRESS A National Basketball Associa tion record crowd of 18,245 was convinced today that It's true what Ned Irish and Coach Joe Lapchick have been saying about the New York Knickerbockers. Hailed by the Madison Square Garden, basketball promoter and Rhubarb Seen As New Dash Record Looms NEW YORK lid Jim Oollida, 24-year-old Northwestern senior, may Je the world's newest fastest human at 100 yards but before it official there's likely to be quite a rhubarb in the ranks of, the Arr.a teur Atnietic union. Nearly six months after it v. as announced that the 160-pound Ne gro sprinter had matched the world record with a 9.3 seconds clocking in the Big Ten relays at Evanston. 111., the records cam. mlttee of the AAU said todpy it would consider his time of 109.2 for a new standard. If the :09.2 Is approved at the annual convention of the AAU in Louisville Dec. 1-4 it will be for warded to the International Fed eration for certification as a wo II standard. The listed world mark of :09.3 was established by South ern California's Mel Patton in 1948. The time was equalled by Australia's Hector Hogan in 1P54 but the Aussie's performance has not yet come before the Interna tional body. Complications developed wnen the records committee of Uic na tional organization discovered that the cards of two of the three timers caught Oolllday in :09.2, the other in :08.3. The Central Assn. had applied for :09.3 for the North western runner. We have asked the Central Assn. for an explanation," said Dan Ferris, secretary of the AAU. But meantime we are going ahead on the basis of :09.2 since two of the three timers caught him in that time." At the time of the race, last May 14, Northwestern Coach Rus sell Walter said five watches wjie on Oolllday. Two caught him at :09.2, two more at :09.3 and the other at 09.4," he said. At the time Oolllday credited lils start from blocks as the big thing in his career. WHAT NEW PAINT DID FOR MY CAR Be loom clubs may undertake complete re organization under new ownership, others will seek civic support and still others will attempt to strengthen with new major league affiliations. Here Is the situation by leagues: Paciflo Coast: Most prosperous franchise is Seattle where the standing gag is that the club Is healthy because the owner Is "sick" Emtl Sick, a prosperous brewery owner and an aggressive promoter. Club makes money even when finishes in second di vision and last year with a pen nant it drew 342,101 fans, tops in the league. .Los Angeles showed an increase in ' attendance and profits from own concessions plus percentage of admissions from nearby Hollywood under territori al rights rules. Hollywood, a con tender as top affiliate of ' Pitts burgh Pirates, has broken even or made money In recent years de spite small 11,000-seaC park and Indemnity payments to Los An geles. San Diego operated "completely In the black" and expects to do better next year under new owner ship by a tuna cannery and home run hero Ralph Kiner as new gen eral manager. DARK SPOT San Francisco is the dark spot with 1200,000 in debts and with of ficials seeking new support, pos sibly from the Milwaukee Braves. Portland lost $57,000 but General Manager Joe Ziegler attributed it to bad weather. He thinks shift of team from ancient 58th Street Park to modern Multnomah Sta dium in 1956 will help. Sacramento lost $75,000 but made up most of it on the sale of two players to the Cubs and General Manager Charles Graham thinks the gate Lapchick as the team which finally will bring New York an NBA championship, the Knickerbockers turned In a brilliant 112-105 trl umph over the Minneapolis Lakers Thursday In their home debut. The Philadelphia Warriors beat the Rochester Royals. 89-84. in the first game of the doubleheader. The crowd, which exceeded the previous league high of 18.135 set at the Qarden on Nov. 1, law, saw the Knickerbockers win easi ly without the aid of their ailing seven-foot center. Walter Dukes They piled up a 62-48 halftlme lead and were out In front, 87-70, after three periods. witn New York substitutes on the floor, the Lakers closed .the score to 108-99 late In the fourth period but the Knickerbocker regu lars re-entered and quickly re, gained control of the game. Harry Oallatin toossed In seven field goals and seven free throws to score 21 points and spark New York attack that featured si other players in double figures, Rookie Ken Sears, highly-public lzed New York newcomer, tallied 13 points in his local debut. Clyde Lovellette scored 21 points for tile Lakers but was limited to one free throw in the first period when tiie Knickerbockers took command of the contest. Paul Arlzln scored 33 points to lead the Warriors to their victory over the Royals despite another fine performance by Rochester Rookie Maurice Stokes. The for mer St. Francis (Pa.) star tallied 26 points in the losing cause giving him a total of 75 for three games. The victory gave the Knlcker- bookers two straight victories for the campaign while Minneapolis has lost three of four starts. The Lakers play the Celtics at Boston in tonight's only NBA action. DRIVING KANGE HELPED NEW YORK Iffl Doug Ford, who lias earned more than $32,000 in golf price money this year, says In his book "Start Oolf Young," that he got his chance because of nis father's driving range near Van Cortlandt Park. Ford says: "When he moved to an indoor range I went over whenever I had the chance. It was there that I found oul what a pleasure golf Is even on a big city driving range." Tackles have been the most pop ular football players at Michigan State especially when It comes to picking team captains. They have been honored 14 times. MrENOABlt IUBE JOBS s A V E 2" 625 Now Jim Winde BUICK CO. 1330 MAIN Yeas' fo Lean ues i of 186,672 wasn't bad for last place club. Vancouver has enthu siasm for its new franchise which Brick Laws brought up from Oak land, and there is optimism for 1956 despite tiny 6600-seat Capl lano Stadium. If plebiscite ending ban on Sunday sports passes on Dec. 14, It will be big boost. , Amerloan Association: Denver. which drew 426,248 fans last year to top all minor league teams. Is shooting for even bigger gate in iu:u. uwners leei interest ; was hurt when Yankees called up pitcher Don Larsen with 9-1 mark when Bears were fighting for first. They tailed off then and finished third. Omaha, a Cardinal affiliate. finished second and drew more than 840,000 including the Play offs. Another first division finish in 1958 should keep the crowds coming. , ... Elsewhere the situation Is less bright. Toledo folded and ball park was made into a shopping center. The franchise probably will be shifted to another city with Des Moines, Iowa, the prime bid der. In Louisville there is some resentment against Red Sox own ership and frequent recalls of bet ter players to Boston. The club lost money with a 139,948 total gate. At Indianapolis, the parent Cleveland club wants to sell the franchise and the city on Nov. 28 may decide to acquire the club as civic promotion. NEW STADIUM ' v ' , Minneapolis lost heavily on ad missions but is counting on new city stadium, ready by next spring, to bring back the fans. The long range plan is to attract big league franchise, which was the purpose of building the park. Cross-town St. Paul finished sixth and had a bad year at the gate, but under Brooklyn Dodger spon sorship expects to rebuild with a strong club and big attendance drive for 1956. Charleston, which has been a losing proposition since it moved into the league In 1953, drew only 106,098 fans last sea son, but the club now is affiliated with the Detroit Tigers and ex pects better things. International League: Toronto and Havana, at opposite outposts of the far flung circuit, are in most prosperous position. Toronto consistently has good attendance and interest is so keen that a count of the days until the start of the 1956 season Is kept plainly in view of fans at Maple Leaf Stadium. Havana, in its second season in organized ball, had a 20 per cent increase In attendance and owner Bobby Maduro is con fident a better team than the third place Sugar Kings of 195& will boost the gate even more in 1956. Columbus, which moved from the association to the Inter national and operated under local ownership, drew more than 200, 000 fans, an Increase of over 80, 000 from the previous year. Rochester, which consistently has winning clubs under St. Louis Car dinal ownership, drew 223,891, in cluding playoffs and the Little worm series. But drastic changes are under way elsewhere to Improve the sit uation in 1966. Richmond has formed a civic group to buy the club at a public tax auction or Nov. 14 unless present owner Harry C. Siebold can raise the $79,218 owed the federal govern ment on back levies. Buffalo also undertook local ownership from a group headed by John Stiglmeier and Harry Blsgeler, who are con ducting a public stock sale. At Syracuse, a citizens' committee was formed to purchase the club from owner Marty Haske, who wants to liquidate his holdings. Montreal, once one of (he best or minor league franchises, drew un der 200,000 last year, which Is far below par, McKENDREE DUCKPICKER ONLY The GUN STORE 714 Main Ph. 3863 MAKE A NOTE OF THIS!
