(PAGE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALI.S. OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1957 Oregon, Oregon State Battle Tops Coast Conference Slate UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, (Special) Coach Lcn Casanova's amazing Oregon Ducks, already assured of a tie for the 1957 Pact lie Coast Conference championship, go after undisputed possession of the coveted title at llayward Field Saturday when they .play the de fending champion Oregon btate Beavers in the annual homecom ing game. The Webfoots have a one game , lead going into the game on the basis of their 6-1 record while the Beavers are in second place with a 5-2 mark in conference action, A win for the Ducks would wrap up the title while a Beaver vic tory would throw the final stand' ings into a tic. The Oregon squad will also be shooting at another victory over the Beavers to keep intact the record of never having lost to the Beavers since the current team started as freshmen. Two years ago, after winning in their year ling season, the Ducks won 28 0 at llayward Field and then last year the Ducks upset the Beavers in a 14-14 tie at Corvalhs. This will be the second straight season the game between the an dent rivals has been televised and the telecast will be carried by the National Broadcasting System with Chick I learn as t h e announcer, The full Oregon radio network will also carry the game with Bob Blackburn as the pluy-by-play an- noucer. Oregon's stout defense, the best in the PCC after nine games, and Oregon State's brilliant running game are expected to collide head- on and the outcome of the game may rest on the Wcbfoot's ability to stop the talents of tailback Joe Francis, wingbacks Sterling Ham- mack and fullback Nub ucamer. Oregon's own offense has pro duced a real scoring punch behind the running of halfbacks Jim Shan ley and Charley Tmirville and full back Jack Morris. Quarterback Jack Crahtrec has also come into his own this season and provided an excellent change of paco for the runners with his accurate pass ing. Shanlcy has already broken all Oregon career rushing records and Morris is now in third place in the all-time standings. Shanley goes into the game with a mark of 17!I2 yards lor 29' games and Morris has rushed for 1618 in the same number of contests. This will be the final game for 11 of the seniors at llayward Field who were a major factor in pull ing the Webfoots from a predicted .seventh-place finish to a shot at the undisputed championship and an almost certain Hose Bowl bid. Shanley, Morris and Crnbtree nre all iinishing their careers in the PCC and the entire left side nf the Oregon line, J. C. Wheeler at left end, Jerry Kershner at left tackle and Harry Mondale at left Craft Thinks Play 'er Trade Brought Star KANSAS CITY W Manager Harry Craft of the Kansas City Athletics thinks ho may have fallen heir to a sleeper in the 13 player trade with the- Detroit Ti gers. "Jim Small could linn out to he the big surprise In the whole deal. I like that boy." said Craft upon his return Wednesday night from a visit to Waterloo, Iowa. Most lans ami baseball men were comparing the bigger names in Wednesday's swap "Billy Martin, the recalcitrant second baseman who still was broadcast ing his demand for a slice of "my sale price" from the A's; Bill Tuttle, the slick outfielder who comes to Kansas City along with catcher Frank House and pitcher Duke Maas, and others. Hut Craft said he is high on Small, a letlhanded hitting out fielder only 2(1 years old, who was paid n $3.",0(I0 bonus by the Tigers in 1035. "He can run and he 'has a slrong arm. He can hit with pow er, too. 1 think the Tigers got down cm him. He had some trou ble running bases last year. He is young and needs experience but I m high on him."

A seventh regular, Co-Capt, Norm Chapman, would have been a starter Saturday except for a broken leg against Washington State which sidelined him lor the remainder of the season. Four of the reserves who played a major role in Oregon's success this season, end Bruce Brenn, end John Robinson, halfback Leroy Phelos and fullback Chuck Os borne, are also winding up their playing at the Duck home field and will take part in tne introduc tion ceremonies which will follow the game.

SAN FRANCISCO (UP) It's "big game" week from Los An geles to Seattle on Saturday the last chance a flock of coaches have to "get off the hook" with the alumni this season. No matter how bad the year, the alumni at most of the Pacific Coast Conference schools are well satisfied if they can come up with a victory in the "big game. At Los Angeles the traditional fight is between USC and UCLA; in San Francisco, Stanford vs. Cal; in Oregon, Oregon State vs. Ore gon: and Washington, University of Washington vs. Washington St. Past performances in these Auburn Top Grid Squad In Defense By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS When you talk defense in major college football this season you pronounce it Auburn. The Tigers, one of two remain ing unbeaten, untied clubs among the major schools, simply are the best in the best year for dense the college game has had in quite a spell. Auburn is tops in total defense, permitting just .131.8 yards a game, and No. 1 in rushing de fense, giving up only 76.4 yards a game, again in this week's statistics released Thursday by by the National Collegiate Athle tic Bureau. And if figures leave you cold, try this for size: Only one . major college team failed to gain at least 100 yards in toial ollcnse last weekend. The team that didn't make it was Georgia held to 97 yards (74 rusning. 23 passing) as Auburn defeated the Bulldogs 6-0. Notre Dame s upset of Ok aho- ma also was a highlight of the return to defense by the colle gians this season. The Irish held Oklahoma to 145 yards in total offense, the lowest any Bud Wilk inson-coached squad has managed, and the lowest for the Sooners since Texas Christian shut them off with 100 in 1046. Auburn also is tops in scoring defense, allowing 21 points in eight games for a 2.6 average. None of the opponents have cracked the Tiger line for a TD. It Auburn can keep that record going against Florida State and Alabama, it will be the first club to do it in the current decade. Texas A & M. knocked out of the unbeaten ranks last week by n Rice team that stayed on the ground, is the only major school unscored on by passing. Georgia Tech is the leading pass defense club, however, leading with a 37.1-ynrd-a-game average. Punting is the only weak sister in the defensive statistics, with no team averaging 40 yards the first time that has happened in 12 years.

STORES CLOSED Most of the Merrill merchants will be closed Saturday afternoon from 1 to 3:45 during the Merrill Stanfield slate semi-final football games mean nothing. Anyone making a bet and giving more than one point in either direction just hasn't looked at the facts as presented by history. For instance, when Coach Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf was taking three California teams in a row to the Rose Bowl in 47-48-49, the Golden Bears always were heavily fav ored over Stanford in the tradi tional battle, usually by 13 to 20 points. So Cal wins the first one 21-18; the second, 7-6. The last time USC went to the Rose Bowl (after the 1954 season), UCLA gave the Trojans' a send-off with a 34-0 shellacking. And Oregon lost four games before playing last year's Oregon State Rose Bowl team to a 14-14 tie. So take a look at these "big game" selections but don't bet on 'em: Stanford over California: Coach Pete Elliott is getting his first taste of "big game" fever, and he can't figure why 90,000 fans would want to see his club with a 1-8 record, play Stanford, which has 5-4. If the Indians kick the extra point, it could be 21-20. Oregon over Oregon State: On the premise that one point will decide it, we'll take the bowl bound Webfoots on the strength of Jack Morris' kicking excellence. How about 14-13? UCLA over Southern California: The West's greatest coach, Red Sanders, has a 5-3 mark against the Trojans and off the records the Bruins should win' bv about 20 points. We'll say 19-18. Washington over Washineton State: Played on the Huskies' home ground, Washington has the finest set of fancy-stepping backs in the conference. Next problem is 10 siop me passing of the Coug ars" Bob Newman. By 27-26. Also: Lai Poly over San Fran cisco State by 20; Fresno State over Hawaii by 13; Whittier over Redlands by six, Pomona-Clare- mont over Occidental by one and Arizona ITempe) State over COP by 20. 'Keed1 Nods Walt Byars CHICAGO W-Kid Gavilan Is showing signs of rust but his fighting instinct still has plenty of ponsn. The former welterweight cham pion, who at 31 wants to regain the title, craftily won a unani mous decision over Boston's Walt Byars last night in a 10-roundcr televised nationally from Chicago Stadium. Byars, 25. was in a purple rage in the sixth round, complaining to Referee Frank Sikora that the Cuban Kid had struck a low blow. It looked for a minute as if Byars woum iear into Gavilan in an gered frenzy. This he did at the start of the seventh, and the Kid cooled him off with a change of tactics. He started left-jabbing him and the former Marine featherweieht champion of the Korean campaign coum not score ertectivoly. Gavilan fought his stubby oppo nent wisely wim a pressing body attack most of the time, and al though many of his blows were blocked inside, enough were jammed through to pile up points. Byars, who pushed the Kid away in a gesture of disgust after the bell ended the sixth round, appeared to be jeering the former cnamp throughout the ninth. It seemed to rile Gavilan, who missed Byars head with several shots after the bell. The referee had to step in and send them to their corners. Byars indicated his contempt of Gavilan after the fight when he said: "The guy isn't going any where. He doesn't compare with oilier contenders. Gavilan outweighed his foe '151 to 146 pounds. i RES MINOR CLASSIC (after Furniture Landry Insurance Bob 8e Polly i I'nrierwoods Ming ""id " " vh fm ... it... ..

In the northwest section or Ore gon, the state Game Commission said in its weekly hunting report, waterfowl gunning at Sauvie Is land was off as water dropped, limiting hunting space. If clear weather continues tnis weekend, waterfowl should move into corn patches. General pros pects for the weekend are poor unless a change in weather oc curs. In the Southwest, hunting has been poor in the Coos Bay Coquillc valley area but should improve as birds are arriving daily. Water in the Coquille Val ley has risen to the point where birds are now beginning to use that area. Duck hunting is good at both upper and lower Klamath Lake in Central Oregon. The Klamalh game management area is fair Goose hunting is generally poor in the Klamath Basin, good on Sprague River and the Indian Reservation. Waterfowl hunting is improving near Boardman and along the Co lumbia River in Northeastern Oregon. And good success has been reported near Hermiston in cornfields. Ducks are scarce in Grant County. But many ducks and geese are near McKay and Cold Springs reservoirs. Ducks are moving into the Grande Ronde Valley. Hunting is poor in the Malheur shooting grounds of Southeastern Oregon. The Jordan Valley is good to excellent for ducks and fair for geese. The Snake River poor to fair for duck hunting and fair hunting is being had on the Malheur River from Ontario to Harper. Meanwhile the commission re ported upland game bird hunters enjoyed one of the most success ful seasons for several years. Incomplete data on pheasants show an average of almost one bird per hunter compared with .74 last year. Elk hunting is expected to be fair this weekend in the Bear Creek, Little Potamas and Five- mile region of Morrow County. Some snow has fallen at higher elevations. Roads are passable but chains are required. The either sex area of Wheeler County has been poor. Snow has brought some movement of elk into the lower elevations of Grant County. Some of the better areas nre Big Creek. Indian Creek. Battle Creek. Bruin Creek and Bully Creek. Elk are moving down in the Blue Mountains due to heavy snow. Road conditions are bad.

Notre e Sub Wins AP Line Award SOUTH BEND, Ind. Wi-A bench warmer, constantly plagued by recurring injuries, was the role that senior center Frank Kuchta emerged from to spearhead a stunning 7-0 Notre Dame upset of Oklahoma and win Associated Press Lineman of the Week hon ors. , "Sure, it was the best game I've ever played at Notre Dame." said the 6-3. 205-pound Kuchta alt er he was told of his selection. "But there were six other guys in that forward wall. And as far as I'm concerned they could have picked all seven Notre Dame starting linemen for the honor." For his terrific offensive and de fensive play that shattered Okla homa's 47-game winning skein, Kuchta gained the nod from the weekly AP poll of sports writers and broadcasters. A pair of hard-hitting Notre Dame guards, James Schaaf and Al Ecuyer, also drew praise for their work against the Sooners. Kuchta. whose home is in Cleve land, said he was "tremendously excited" over his selection. "Why, I haven't played a whole game or a major part of it for some time. I understand I played aoout 4a minutes in mv first start ing assignment all year last Satur day , he asserted. "I've had knee trouble through out my football days at Notre Dame. As a sophomore two years ago, I was out all year with a knee injury. Last year, I won a letter and even started a few games. But I was quickly pulled, playing a few minutes in each game. "This September, I had knee trouble, missed the Purdue game, and sat on the bench until the Oklahoma game. 1 finally got my starting shot and made the most of it. It was a great one to win."

Martin Angry Over Trade KANSAS CITY. Mo., (UP) -Billy Martin, chagrined at the trade that switched him from the Kansas City Athletics to the De troit Tigers, said today the deal should include some money for Martin. Describing the trade as one that "got everybody happy but me," the inficlder admitted it was "great to be a contender again" but insisted that the Athletics should "fork over some dough to me." "This may be pretty strong talk for a .251 hitter," said Martin, "but they say six clubs were after me and if that's so, I must be pretty valuable." The fiery Martin, once Casey Stengel's "boy" of the New Y'ork Yankees, declared "everybody in the majors is worth at least the $10,000 waiver price and if I was the key man in the trade that's made everybody happy, I think I ought to get something, too." George Selkirk, the A's play per sonnel director, said the club was under no obligation to pay Martin in the trade. "It's in his contract that he's got to play in any town he's con tracted to," said Selkirk. HOCKEY', Scores By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL LEAGUE Detroit I, New York 1 (tie) Toronto 2.
