Now, if Marshfield wins this one they will undoubt edly meet Jefferson of Portland for the state championship. . . . So, in that case the team to beat Marshfield will become the state champ. If Medford wins again, then they have to beat Jefferson to make me an honest man; a chore I'd hale to have a team of mine have to accomplish for a living. Naturally. I made a few wagers. . . . I'm sure I'll enjoy tonight's game after I chew my nails down to my knuckles. I just might possibly give up en tirely the task of trying to dope Huskies Plan To Stop Kapp SEATTLE (AP) - To cope with Kapp and California, Coach Jim Owens has outlined a youth move ment for his Washington Huskies in Saturday's Pacific Coast Con ference football game. He will sacrifice weight and ex perience in the line in an effort to get the speed and agility that might check Joe Kapp, Califor nia's quarterback and the confer ence leader in total offense. Washington is the last road block, minus one, in the Bears' drive toward the conference title and the Rose Bowl game. They wind up against Stanford next week. Despite California's top rating in the conference and Washing ton's basement residence, the Bears are favored by only one touchdown. The equalizer could be the wet, cold day in prospect. Se attle has had a damp week and the temperature is expected to drop below the freezing mark Fri day night. Forewarned the Bears prac ticed on a watered field during the week. Owens listed six sophomores and only two lettermen in his tentative starting lineup, with a lino aver aging only 189 pounds against California's 200. The lettermen are Don Armstrong at guard and Bruce Claridge at end. The kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Beavers, Indians Set For Teevee SAX FRANCISCO UPI It will be Stanford's T against the Oregon State single wing on NBC's regional television game of the week Saturday. The telecast will start at 1:45 p.m. p.s.t. NBC said Thursday that the Beaver-Card contest had been so lected for vVcst Coast fans. The game will be a crucial one for the Beavers since a loss will knock them out of the Rose Bowl race. high school football. . . . This hasn't been my best season. What I should do 1 guess, is write my choices on a slip in disappearing ink, then stick it in the farthest corner of my desk drawer . . . and keep my mouth shut. Then when the week's play was over I could pull out the slip and . . . well, how would your prove it? Factually. Medford holds the edge. They have already beaten the Pirates once. However Marshfild coach Pete Susick has a distinct aversion to being beaten twice in the same season by the same team. The clubs are playing at Med ford: the "experts" say that is good for seven points for the home team. Susick says "We are two touchdowns better than Medford." Medford coach Fred Speigelberg says phooey or words to that effect. Some more facts: Medford tied Grants Pass. Grants Pass tied Marshfield, Marshfield scored six points on Grants Pass while Med ford got blanked . . . and then we are back to the thought that Medford beat Marshfield. Confus ing isn't it?' There are some that say. that Grants-Pass got robhed against Medford: they say that Jack Dean was into the end zone for a Caveman TD. The officials say he wasn't. So . . . you pays your money and you takes your choice. . . . All we need now is for the two clubs to battle to a scoreless tic. It could happen. Tomorrow afternoon the Merrill Huskies take to the gridiron to do their best to start a victory skein that will lead to a State B foot ball crown. The first step is Mau pin . . . then comes Umatilla or Joseph. A win over Umatilla or Joseph will boost the Huskies' into the State B finals. The Huskies have come close a couple of times over the last two years . . . this time they fig ure to go all the way. If Merrill downs Maupin, and It appears that they should, the semi final game will be played here . and that every sports fan in the county should plan to see. Believe me it is a pleasure to watch Haskins, Mauptn and Co. at work. Pelican coach Andy Knudsen is planning to use a single-wing at tack next year. From where we sit it appears that he will have the "horses" to do it up nicely. The frosh and this year's Jay- vees are showing all the signs. This doesn t necessarily mean, however, that the Pelicans are go ins to be a district champion next year. Medford, Grants Pass and the surprising Crater Comets are keep ing most of their best men around for another season and each one of the three schools has designs on the title. It does mean, though, that the Pels will put a much better scrap, all along the route. Our turn is coming. i Traffic in the sports area will be getting thick again in the not too distant future ... a month, say. The Pelican cagcrs will play twice a' week, as will the OTI Owls; all the county schools get in two a week, and then of course, I don't know how many city, com mercial and church basketball leagues will be under way. All this not counting the Southern Ore gon Conference wrestling program. Speaking of the wrestlers, KU coach DcLance Duncan has Issued gear to 80 matmcn and would-he matmcn already. Duncan heads for Ashland Saturday and a meet ing with other conference coaches to set forth the scheduling for competition through the coming season. Later in the month Duncan plans in attend a series of wrestling clln ics being held al the University of Oregon by Duck mat coach Mike Reutcr. If the rumor was true that the Henley-Phoenix game was attend ed by college 'scouts interested in two or t h r e e Hornet gridders, all that can be said is that the timing was poor. Both for the Hornets and the scouts. The Hornet loss stemmed from a way below aver age performance . . . and of course it had to come in their last ap pearance. One has to seriously doubf, how ever, that any scout would form a really conclusive opinion as to a player s abilities off just one show ing. It's a good possibility that said scouts may have just gotten an other look before the last game Davis Cuppers Off To Sydney TOKYO (API American Dav is Cuppers Hamilton Richardson and Alex Olmedo left by air for Sydney.

The Owls will set up headquarters at the Figueroa Hotel in Los Angeles today through Sunday morning. The team will com mute to Whitticr, a few miles southeast of here, for the game. Travel plans find the Owls leaving here Sunday morning for Sac ramento where they'll spend the night. The team will arrive back in Klamath Falls Monday afternoon. Whittier, the defending Southern California Collegiate Athletic Association champions of last year, and favored to win the crown again this season, rules a slight favorite over the Techmen, who will bring the pennant of the Oregon Collegiate Conference to town with Ihcm. Both teams carry a 6-1 record into the game tomorrow evening. This is Ihe Owls' final play pf the season. Whittier plavs one more game, the next Saturday against Redlands in the "showdown" meeting of the SCCAA season. The Poets are expected to win that game. too.

Third Major League Confronts Baseball NEW YORK (APl-For the first time since the Federal League era nearly half a century ago organ ized baseball was confronted today with the threat of an independent third major league. New York City, virtually abandoning hopes of obtaining a National League franchise, set in motion the drive for the new league. Baseball officials, already faced with such problems as controlling television, antitrust inquiries and collapsing minor leagues, met the surprise move with generally skeptical comments. Even baseball-minded people in major-hungry minor league cities viewed the proposal warily. Baseball Commissioner r ora Frick said, "Baseball is not going to be sledge-hammered." Frank Lane, general manager of the Cleveland Indians, quipped, "First I think they have to catch one team before they can catch eight." But it was this inability of the nation's largest city to catch a team to replace the Giants and Dodgers that touched off the latest bomb. William Shea, chairman of Ma yor Rober Wagner's committee on baseball, announced at a press conference Thursday that the committee, convinced that it is getting nowhere in its bid to land a National League franchise, would start negotiations for a third Rosburg Leads Havana Golfers HAVANA (AP) New length and confidence off the tee have transformed California's Bob Ros burg into one of the chief tourna ment threats on the professional golf tour. "I was in pretty much of a slump until I got a new driver just after the Masters Tourna ment last spring," the pudgy for mer Stanford student from Palo Alto said, "and things have been going well ever since." Rosburg, who has won $25,000 this year, carried a one-stroke lead today into the second round of the $45,000 Havana Internation al Tournament. CARDS SIGN WATKINS CHICAGO tUPD - Bobby Wat- kins, former Ohio State Univer sity halfback released by the Chi cago Bears, has signed a contract with the crosstown rival Chicago Cardinals. To make room for Watkins the Cardinals asked waivers on linebacker Jerry Tubbs, who was claimed by the San r rancisco 4!) ers. major league with an unnamed National League executive. She insisted that the committee would like to see the league formed with the cooperation of the current majors, bu added that he leit New York had run into a blind alley in efforts to acquire an exist ing National League franchise or gain one through NL expansion. He accused NL President Warren Giles of evasive action. The concept of a third maior league is not new. Frick is for it. Most of the club owners favor it. But the general feeling is that the time is not ripe, and there are no sufficient players or adequate playing sites available. About ten days ago," said Shea "I received a visit from an important National League execu tive, whose name I cannot divulge Me assured me that if New York were willing to lead the way in the formation of a third major league, he could put me in touch with people who are eager and financially able to promote big league oaseoaii. Shea said these groups of in terested persons were in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, To ronto, Denver, Miami, Minneapo- lis-St. Paul, Detroit and several other cities on the West Coast. Shea added: "If New York is in, we have re ceived- assurances from these other cities that they will be in. Shea would not say specifically where the money or players would come from to establish the new league, but he did say New York City vas ready to build a ball park on the site of the 1939 World s Fair in the borough of Queens and that "responsible cit izens" in each of the cities men tioned were ready to put up from 314 to 5 million dollars to start a team. The mayor's representative also said the possibility of raiding es tablished major league teams for player material would have to be considered if Ihe majors did not cooperate. This brought a strong retort from Frick, who said, "As every body knows I favor keeping New York open for a National League club, but baseball is not going to be sledgcd-hammered into putting a team in New York because of a threat of a third major league. Baseball has not had. a third league since 1914-'15. Then the out law Federal League raided the majors and cost them close to a half million dollars before peace was made in 1916.

Probable starters for the Hus kies include halfbacks Bud Mau- al-'l'in, and John Haskins, fullback Troy Patterson and quarterback Dennis Salvadori.

Top-ranked Anthony of New York is favored at 3-1 to register his seventh straight victory and to snap Chicago Ray s string at nine bouts.

The first round will wind up with eight more contests Satur day. The class A-l opener sending Marshfield to Medford for an 8 p.m. date will be a replay of one of the toughest contests of the regular season. Unbeaten Medford, its record marred only by one tie in eight games, defeated Marshfield 3-0 in that one on a late field goal by Mike Murray. Marshfield finished the season with a 7-1-1 mark. Medford has yielded only one touchdown this year, that to North Salem, which it defeated, 21-7. Medford also had a potent offensive, sparked by halfbacks Dick Ragsdale and Jerry Lyons and fullback Skip Bennett. It is the fifth straight playoff appear ance for Medford. Marshfield, competing in its ninth playoff in 12 seasons, has a fine running game with wait Hunter and Gary Rossi, half backs, its big ground-gainers.

Jefferson, No. 1 in the poll and Portland League and defending state champion, travels to Odcll for a night game with Wy'East, which won the Wilco League play off berth in its first class A-l season.

It ran its unbeaten, un tied string to 20 games, in which it amassed a total of 3,978 yards. The' Jefferson attack is paced by the hard running brothers Rayc and Mel Renfro and Terrv Baker, a quarterback who com pleted 6 per cent of his nass tries for 1.043 yards and 16 touch downs and carried the ball 45 times for 356 yards.

(API Marv Matuszak, a linebackine star in 1957 but a failure this year, has been released by the San Francisco 49ers to make room for a castoff. The slumping National Football League club made the surprise announcement Thursday. To re place the five-year veteran, the 49ers picked up Jerry Tubbs, an Oklahoma All-America who was the Chicago Cardinals No. 1 draft choice two years ago. Tubbs was placed on waivers this season. Matuszak, obtained from Pitts burgh last year in what the 49ers said was their best trade, report ed in July overweight. The 6 foot 2 athlete called the signals on de fense until he was benched two weeks ago. He had suffered a knee and shoulder injury but recovered and started in Sunday's 56-7 loss to Los Angeles. Asked for comment. Matuszak snapped, "I'm disgust ed. I ain't talkin'." Coach Frank Albert said Tubbs. 6 foot 2 and 226 pounds, will join the team tonight in Detroit, where the 49ers play the Lions Sunday. Best yet of the best sellers!
