FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1957 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Major Football Teams Seek To Nail Down Bowl Berths By UNITED PRESS The University of Oklahoma, battle-scarred in its last two foot ball games but still boasting a 46 game winning streak, tries to nail down an Orange Bowl berth Sat urday against up-and-coming Mis souri. Oklahoma is an 18-point favorite despite Missouri's 5-1-1 overall record and 3-0 in Big Eight play. Missouri has lost only to Texas AIM, which displaced Oklahoma this week as the nation's No. 1 team in the United Press ratines Since Bud Wilkinson became Ok lahoma coach in 1947, the Sooners have played 63 conference games without a loss. The other Orange Bowl team is sure to be Duke, unbeaten in the Atlantic Coast Conference but a six-point underdog this week to Navy. Bowl Possibilities Other possible bowl lineups: Rose: Oregon vs. Ohio State or Michigan State. Oregon, 5-0 in the Pacific Coast Conference, is fa vored by 12 points over Washing ton. Ohio State, 4-0 in the Big Ten, is a seven-point choice over Pur due. Michigan State is picked by 14 points over Notre Dame, which shows signs of reeling under a murderous schedule. Cotton: Texas A&M or Texas vs. Navy. Mississippi, Mississippi Stale, Tennessee or Georgia Tech. Favorites Saturday include' Texas A&M by 12 points over Southern Methodist, Texas by a over Bay lor, Mississippi by 11 over Louisi- ana State, Auburn (probably the best team in the South but a bowl ineligible) by 8 over Mississippi State and lennessee by 7 over Georgia Tech. The most attractive Cotton Bowl paring would be Tex as A&.M-Navy. Sugar ana liator: The same teams in the running for the Cot ton Bowl are possibilities here, too, except that Navy won't play in the Sugar Bowl because of Louisiana segregation laws. The Gator Bowl also might be inter ested in West Virginia, a six-point favorite over Pittsburgh this week; Boston College, a four-point choice over Boston University; and Syracuse, a seven-point favor ite over Holy Cross.

Out Of Doors By WARREN PAGE It's getting frosty up in the hills and the bugling season has come. If there be any more truly American sound than the mating whistle of a bull elk it can only be the popping of Fourth of July firecrackers.

The little mouse, as he is af fectionately called by his wor shippers in Mexico, has lost two lights in his life both right here in the city of the angels.

The bull who stands out on a timbered promon tory and pumps from his lungs the air pressure behind the ear splitting whistle is a majestic animal. He stands 800 pounds of wild masculinity. No sound, not even the choppy song of the moon struck coyote, is as much a sym bol of the Rocky Mountain wilderness. From far off. his peculiar ven- triloquial whistle can be heard for miles on a still dawn. The tune is a three or four note ' scale. breaking up to a piercing peak and then sliding fast down to the bottom note. The young bull squeaks a thin shrill; but the old one, the six or seven pointer who will ultimately command a harem of half a dozen or more com plaisant cows, carries a bass roar even into the peak pitch. His bu gle has a steamboat quality that warns every other bull within ear shot that he is indeed the boss of Elk Mountain. Close-up, the whistle becomes a full - blasted bugle, begun and ended with coughing grunts of side-heaving effort. It rasps out in a multi-tone bellow as evi dence that the bull's entire wind pipe, his neck outstreched and head low, is vibrating with effort. Go into the high country of Idaho or Wyoming or Montana, or even farther north across the bor der into Canadian fastnesses where the wapiti seeks solitudes empty of man, and you may be one of the lucky ones who hear it, the true call of the wild. limi for the world's bantamweight championship.

They proved themselves to be good sports much better than fearful police had anticipated. The Los Angeles police depart ment had placed 175 men on ac tive duty around Wrigley Field to control the mob of 20,000 in case Macias lost on a close decision. Well.

Iffl The Uni versity of Oregon can clinch at least a tie for the Pacific Coast Conference football title Saturday and even the coach appears sur prised. "This is the most amazing team I ever coached," says Len Casa nova, whose players, lightly re garded in most quarters eariier this season, have won five strsight conference games. A victory over Washington at Portland Saturday would iinch a tie for the conference crown and probably bring the Rose Bowl bid. "They surprise me ecery time we play," says the graying Casa nova. "When I watch Ihem as in dividuals on the practice field, I know we don't have enough depth lor this conference.- "And then they get into a game and almost make me think Wis is the best team I ever had. I can't figure it out myseU. As individ uals, welL . . but they play to gether as a team very well. "Take our second unit. On the practice field I get to feeling they can't do it. But in a game, well, this team's strong point comes out. They drive. Never quit. They have what I call scrambling aDU ity." The team has some standouts of course, such as halfback Jim Shanley, a 180-pound will of the wisp who somehow squeezes through holes tnat oDViousiy are too small for mm. "A tremendous ball player and probably the best I've ever coached," said Casanova of Shan lev, whose slants' through the line and broken-field running has cracked more than one team's de fense. There are also Harry Mondale, 198-pound guard who anchors the line; quarterback Jack Crabtree, who in some games has called up to 80 per cent of the plays at the line of scrimmage to take advant age of defensive shifts after the huddle; and fullback Jack Morris, a 9.5-second sprinter who is the handiest of men and may even be the1 key to this team. Morris does everything. At 190 pounds he backs the line on de fense. On offense he drives hard enough to do the line-plunging. and is fast enough to carry pitch outs around end in Oregon's split T offense. He also punts and not the least in importance docs the place kicking. This last has been hard on Casa nova, but great for the team s record. Casanova coached at Pittsburgh and Santa Clara before he came to Oregon. At Santa Clara he saw three teams go to the Sugar and Orange Bowl games. He isn't cer tain now whether any of those teams were better than this one, but he knows this team provides more thrills. Oregon won its three road games by a total margin of five points. All from Morns toe. A Morris field goal downed Idaho, 9-6, and his conversions accounted for a 14-13 edge over Washington State and a 27-26 victory over Stanford. It would add 10 years to my life if there were some easier way to win." said Casanova. One-Eye Dillon Says Passing Is Better In NFL GREEN BAY, Wis. (UP) One eyed Bobby Dillon, the Green Bay Packers ace defensive back, Sat urday blamed "better passing" for the fact that he's returned five interceptions only one yard. Last year, one-eyed Bobby re turned seven for 244 yards to lead the National Football League. "I haven't been as lucky this year. The passers have been too sharp. Lvery pass that I ve inter cepted there's been one or two men right on the spot to nab me, he said. Dillon figures his best defensive work this year has been against the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Colts. "I've only been able to grab one pass from the Colts this year, but I ve knocked a lot of them down When our guys up front are rush ing the passer, it makes it easier for me. he said. Dillon, now in his sixth season of professional play, said he guessed the two things that made him able to make so many inter ceptions were "quick reactions and speed."
