FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IB. 1 955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH- FALLS: OREGON PAGE TH3JrTEE!f PCC Grid Frays Weather : Problems By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The weslhermn served notice Friday he'll be a figure to re.kon with . the length ol the Puciltc Coast in Saturday's traditional li nens to the 1855 football season. Rain was forecast In the South, where UCLA clashes with Southern California In Us battle for the Rose Bowl ad rain began to replace snow at Eugene where Oregon State puts its outside chance for a Pasadena appearance on the line against arch-rival Oregon. The in-between contests geo graphically and statistically are supposedly In for the same type of treatment. 'Cola ana snow were due for the Washington-Washington State and Idaho-M o n t a n a games and rain for the Stanford California tilt. A national television audience, plus 100.000 Los Angeles Coliseum fans, will get a chance to see how UCLA's fifth-ranked Bruins and the thrice-beaten Trojans respond to soggy going. Both teams depend primarily on running games, use because it has had no passer all season and UCLA because it lost Ronnie Knox yitn a broken ankle bone last Saturday. I Real bad footing jcould produce Tennessee, Has Hopes Of Victory ATLANTA" (UP) Under Coach Bowden Wyatt, Tennessee's vastly Improved football team is reviving oleasant memories among its sup porters of 16 years of domination over arch-rival Kentucky. Kentucky fans figured that their frustration had ended when Gen. Robert Neyland stepped down as the Volunteers' head coach after the 1952 season. The reasoning seemed sound as Kentucky beat Tennessee In . 1953 for the first win over Its biggest rival since 1835. It looked even sounder as the Wildcats, made it two in a row, 14-13, last year. At the start of the current season ' It appeared that the Wildcats would make it three in a row. Ten nessee was expected to finish near . the cellar and Kentucky was a darkhorse title threat after: a 7-3 record 1n 1954. NEYLAND STUDENT . However. Wyatt, a former Ney- land student serving his first year at Tennessee, is going all out to make the Vols a team of Neyland's standard. After losing their first two games to Mississippi state ana uane, toe Vols found themselves. Since then they have not been beaten in six games. They tied highly favored Georgia Tech 1-1. Wyatt, who came back . to his alma mater from Arkansas, stuck with the slngle-wlng formation that Neyland made famous at Tennes see and fielded a team well ground ed In the fundamentals of blocking' and tackling. ' . , , The Vols, sparked by tailback Johnny Majors, who can do it all pass, '- run and kick with the best in the South, racked up 161 points in their last six games,! while a stubborn defense gave up only 21 points. LONG SHOT Tennessee has won the favorite's spot, but Kentucky is not ready to give up by a long shot. Wildcat fans will be looking for quarter back Bob Hardy to find a soft spot' in the Vol defenses with his sharp passes. In the only other Southeastern Conference battle this week, the surprising?

Intrastate rivalries Nov. 28. I a fullback duel between the Bruins' All America candidate. Bob Davenport, and the Trojans' Oordy Duvall, solid turf will add the spice of fast-stepping hall- backs Jon Arnett of USC and Sam Brown of UCLA. The 10-point favorite Bruins can wrap up their third- Pacific Coast Conference championship and the Rose Bowl Invitation with a vic tory. A loss, though, coupled wtth an Oregon Stata triumph, would throw things into a peculiar stale of confusion. Such a situation would give Ore gon State the PCC crown on a 8-1 record, against UCLA's 5-1. But conference rules specify that in Rase Bowl voting "The team which receives a majority of the nine votes cast is the representative, regardless of the number or nature of Its wins or losses during the season." That could mean prob ably would that UCLA would get the bowl bid on the strength of Its 38-0 win over the Beavers Oct. 8. Oregon State's single winy, plus season-long alert play, ranks the Beavers one-touchdown favorites over the Ducks. Any breaks OC' casloned by slippery going on the field could work to the advantage of OSC, which has made a practice of seldom letting a mtsplay go to waste. Coach Chuck Taylor's Stanford Indians, the conference s top of fensive club, were favored by 20 points - over California regardless of weather even uiougn tney haven't won the "big one" In nine years. The expected victory would square the long series at 24 each, with 10 ties. Washington, barring a letdown after last week's sterling go against UCLA should have no trouble with wso wnicn nas won only once all year, and Idaho off its showing against u r t g n a m Young a week ago should skid to a win over Montana.

The hazards of the road take more American lives every year than we lost in the whole Korean war. So important things are being done to make cara safer. But isn't safety even more important ia trucks? If safety ia important to the man who drives a car a few hours a day, isn't it even more important to the man (and Ms family) who drives a truck for a living? We think it is. And we think you wives think it is. That's why we believe you'll be vitally interested in what Ford has done to make driving a truck safer for your husband. Ford has taken the lead in safety with not just one, but a whole family of new safety features for America's trucks and cars. What are these features that could be so important to you? 1 Lifeguard Steering Wheel Ford's exclusive) Lifeguard truck steering wheel is buSt is such a way that, in case of accident, it helps protect the driver from any contact with the steering post. This kind of "deep-center" . steering wheel actually acta as a cushion in case of accidents. 2 Lifeguard Door Latches Ford's Lifeguard door latches have a new "double grip" type construction. Their extra holding strength gives added protection against doors Sy trig open in the event of an accident ... to help keep the driver in the truck where he's twice as safe. 3. Scat Belts You've read a lot about seat belts. You probably know that the Accident Research Center at Cornell University, the American College of Surgeons and many other groups strongly urge that every owner equip his vehic5 with eeat belts. Studies prove that in about one-half of all atxideate, injuries could be avoided or reduced by the uee of teat belts. Ford is the first truck manufacturer to make seat belts available (at low extra coat, for both new and used trucks). In case of an accident, or sudden stop, s Ford Seat Belt holds the driver firmly in the scat. This greatly cuts down tbs chances of serious injury. And remember it isn't necessary to be driving fast to be seriously injured or thrown out of the truck in case of an accident. A sizable per centage of injuries of this kind occur at speeds of only 30 or even 25 miiea per hour. (If your dealer happens to be out of seat belts temporarily, please be patient. He will have ' them shortly , 4 Tabeless Tire ; This year, tubeiess tires are standard equipment on every Ford Track, Tu&efess tires do not prevecfc t punctures. But they do help to prevent msrsjr biow oute. When s puncture occurs in tubefeee tire, th air is apt to escape very slowly. The driver has a greater chance to alow down Bad stop aefdy; 5 Power Brakes y , What we call vacuum-boosted power brake -make it possible for the driver to apply a lot more ' force to the brakssj faater artd easier. Hiia makaa it possible to stop faster in emergencies. Power brakes are standard or available on every '56 Ford Truck. 6. High Visibility A better view of the road in front, behind and , to the sides caa help the driver to spot tr&abtt before it happens. A new full-wrap windshield is standard on '56 Ford Trucks. The standard rear window is the widest on any truck . asd a new , jull-vcrap rear window is available at slight extra cost. All told, a new Ford Truck gives the driver on of the greatest all-around glass areas of any truck, T Reserve Power A "slowpoke" truck can be a threat to highway safety ii is a stumbling block in the path of other tragic. Trucka should have enough power to keep up with the traffic stream. And they : should have enough reserve power to puli out of emergency situations. So you will be interested to know that the new Ford Tracka for '66 have power increases up to 26, to make sure drivers have all the reserve power they are ever likely to need. Why should any man who drives a truck for a living take chances, needless chances, by not taking advantage of every available safety device? To repeat if safety is important to a man who drives a car once in a while, isn't it far more important to the man who drives a truck eii day, , for a living? When a man drives a 66 Ford Truck from ' Pickup to tandem-axle Bio 3oa he and his family have this peace of mind. They know he's driving a truck that gives him tfmadded protection of exclusive Lifeguard safety features. , BAISIGER MOTOR CO. Moin and Eipfanod . KlomotH Folk, Ore.
