The nine-member organization dies next June 30 following tumul tuous years of disagreements. With four teams, headed by Cal ifornia's Bears, still in the running for the bowl bid, the finales bring .even more than the usual inter est. California hosts Stanford. Wash ington State meets Washington at Spokane. Southern California pl('s UCLA at Los Angeles and The good people of Merrill take their football serious ly .. . and not just because their Huskies stand a better-than-average chance of becoming the State B champions, either. It seems they always have. Not an uncommon thing throughout the grid season, regardless of the site of the game, was for Merrill fans to outnumber those cheering for the hometeam (Malin-Merrill game excepted.) Last week end, for example, business in Merrill came to a standstill . . . just about everyone went to Maupin to see the Huskies win. 1ms week the town Is literally covered with signs boosting and boasting the Huskies and Iheir semifinal game with the Umatilla Vikings Saturday. The signs aren't exactly showcard master pieces ... but they get the mes sage' across. When one pays visit to a Merrill business house and inadvertently falls to see the signs, it's a six-two and even bet that someone will make sure the Huskies get Into the conversation Seems to pay off. . . . The Husk ies win a lot of games. It has been suggested that I re frain from betting on the football team that 1 would like to see win. Seems I put the "Kiss of Death on the situation. My last victim was the Marshfield Pirates. Have taken the suggestion under advisement l . . especially since the wife casually mentioned that my "idiotic sentimentalism" was undermining the grocery budget As I am so lond of saying, "Well, you can't win 'em all." Believe me, I didn't. . . . Plus the fact that I had to pay for seats at Mcdford. Since I obviously haven't been able to contrive a method for one of my choices to beat Medtord this year, I might just as well climb on their bandwagon. ... Of course, I'm fresh out of choices anyway. I pick Medford to beat Pendle ton tomorrow night. ... No wag er rides with my conviction (and the little voice said, "this is your chance to get even, fool. ) Without a doubt it can be said that coach Fred Speigelberg's Black Tornado has one of the fin est defenses ever to step onto a high school football field. If you expect to get any yard age against Medford, you had bet ter be content with the midfield area. The Marshfield Pirates out- gained Medford 154 yards to 123 on the ground; 111 to 14 in the air 'and still penetrated deeper than the 23 yard line just once. They got to the 10 that time, but no fitther. The Tornado feels very tenderly about the vicinity of its own goal line. Marshfield could have won if It hjdn't been for fumbles but then a good bet they wouldn't have fumbled if the Medford- defenders hadn't tackled so hard. Medford scored Its winning sev en points by suckering the Pirates into believing they were going to try a field goal, the same way they won their first contest this season. Off the field try setup on a fourth down situation, quarter back Bob Pond took a direct snap then flipped a nine-yard aerial to Gerry Lyons in the end zone. Pond booted one through the posts for the extra-point and from here on the defense took over. Medford, should they get past Pendleton, faces the acid test the following week. In an immovable-object, irresistible-force type game the Tornado will meet the high-scoring Jefferson Democrats for the state crown. If ever a defense got a test , , , this should be it. The 1958 football season on the high school level has seen some; fine defensive efforts and all too I ften the boys who have earned j the credit ... the workhorses who never get a chance to handle the O People Read SPOT ADS - you are KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Oregon engages Oregon State at Corvallis. California, paced by split T for mation quarterback Joe Kapp. can take the title with a victory over the pass minded Indians of Stan ford. But should the Bears lose the bowl race could become tight er than ever with a conference vote needed to decide things. In the PCC, California boasts a 5-1 record followed by Washington State and Oregon State at 5-2 and Southern California 4-2.

A fan may notice' the number on his jersey and mean to take a glance at his program to see who the lad is . . . but the next play is on him so quickly that he may not get around to it and so the boy may be forgotten. Three of the best defensemcn this writer has been privileged to see this year are KU's Cliff Faugh, Medlord's AlFunston and Mer rill's Bill Beasly. Beasly, who will see action to morrow in the Merrill-Umatilla game at Merrill, stands only 5-6 and weighs 150 pounds . . .not exactly a giant guard. But he gets the job done. He has earned the praise of his coach and team mates - and has exacted no little respect from the boys who have tried to get through or past his spot in the line. Signs of the times ... in Med ford. A possible source of some of the success enjoyed by the Black Tornado over the football years may be the attitude reflect ed by a situation that sees the city superintendent of schools con duct a first-aid and stretcher bear ers class each year for boys whose physical attributes keep them from playing football but whose sincere desire to be close to the game and their team makes them want to help in any way possible. Turkey Shoot Slated Sunday The' gunsmithing class of Ore gon Tech has scheduled a turkey shoot at the OTI Range this Sun day, November 23. Continuous shooting will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be turkeys and hams for winners in both ladies and men's events. The public is invit ed.

H umph has little or no bearing. Confusing things further: Ore gon State beat California. Wash ington State beat Oregon State but lost to California and Southern California beat Oregon State and Wshmgton State but lost to Call fornia. Kapp remains the leading ground gainer in the PCC and the reason California must be favored to beat Stanford before a crowd of more than 80.000. Big Joe has piled up 540 yards rushing and 591 passing for a total of 1,131, third best in the nation. Stanford depends on the throw ing of quarterbacks Bob Nicolct and Dick Norman. The latter is a sophomore who connected on 21 of 31 throws last week as the In dians lost to Oregon State. The Beavers of OSC, with a strong running attack led by full back Nub Beamer and tailback Dainard Paulson, figure too tough for the Oregon Ducks who have lost four of their last five games. Washington State's Cougars had Bobby Newman ready for spot duty against College of the Pacif ic last Saturday but he wasn't needed as Dave Wilson directed the club to a 34-0 victory. The weather at Spokane, howev er, may be against the passing game as the Cougars of WbC play Washington. Five inches of snow fell Monday and Tuesday and there is every indication the grid- ders will play in mud. Oregon State Ruled Slight Pick Over UO CORVALLIS, Ore. 'API-Ore gon State College, still clutching to a sum nope tor the Rose Bowl will be a one-touchdown favorite over Oregon in their traditional football game here Saturday. The Beavers, after a series of costly injuries throughout the sea son, have appeared to be just about 100 per cent physically fit in workouts here this week. Oregon will be without regular halfback Charlie Tourville, who is hampered by an injury, at least as a starter, but the rest of the squad is in good condition. Tour ville will be replaced either by Len Read or Don Laudenslager, both experienced and talented Other starting Oregon backs will be Dave Frosz at quarter back, Willie West at left half, and Marian Holland at fullback. In the line Oregon will have Ron Stover and Alden Kimbrough at ends, Jim Linden and Darrell Aschbacher at tackles, Bob Frot tkau and Will Reeve or Joe Schaf- fcld at guards, and Bob Peterson at center. Grimm Mason has shaken off a knee injury and probably will start in the key tailback position in uregon Mate s single wing of fensive. He is backed up by Paul Lowe, a dangerous breakaway threat, and Dainard Paulson. The rest of the secondary will be Nub Beamer, a star in last week's victory over Stanford, at fullback: Earnel Dtirden at wing- back and either Derald Swift or Gary Lukchart at blocking back. Coach Tommy Prothro expects lo start a line made up of Don Thiel and Aaron Thomas at ends Ted Bates and Ed Kaohelaulii at tackles; Sonny Sanchez and Cap tain Jim Brackins at guards; and Bruce Hake at center. Bates, a 215-pounder who is being boosted by Oregon State backers for All America rating, will be closely watched by more than 21,000 fans expected to at tend.

He always is eligible lor the "Fighter of the Month. Rory will be making his 10th appearance of the year tonight when he takes on old reliable Ralph "Tiger" Jones at Madison Square Garden. Except for the fact that he has been making money, this has not been one of Calhoun's better years. He was stopped for the first time, Jan. 20 by Spider Webb in San Francisco. He also lost de cisions to Joey Giardcllo and Gene (Ace) Armstrong. Now he is No. 10 middle in the Ring rank ings and No. 6 by the National Boxing Assn. in the light heavy class. The fellow in the other corner came with your TV set. This will be Jones 34th television appear ance. Only Jack Paar does bet ter. The old Tiiier ' 30. Hasn't been too active this year. Ha broke even in two bouts with Kid Gavi- Ian, another oldtimer, and lost to Jim Hegerle. He bounced back by stopping highly regarded Mick ey Crawford on a 10th round TKO Sept. 10 in Chicago. Jones' greatest moment was his decisive victory over Ray Robin son in January 1955, a defeat that almost ended Sugar Ray's come back before it got off the ground. Despite much shouting and con siderable grumbling, Jones and his manager, Bobby Melnick, nev-i er have been able lo get Robinson to agree to a title match. At one stage there was solid support for Calhoun as a top title contender. Jones no longer is ranked among the top 10 in the division but he still hopes to get another shot at Sugar Ray. Calhoun, 24, has a 37-5-1 recorfl. He is a solid puncher, eager to swap but an easy target. Jones, with a record of 45-23-4, is a thick necked body puncher who seldom puts up a bad fight. The Tiger claims both Vonkers and St. Al bans, N.Y., as his home while Cal houn is booked out of White Plains, N.Y. NBC radio and television will carry the 10-round match, start ing at 10 p.m. EST. Birdie Eyes Bench Power MILWAUKEE (API Birdie Tebbetts, executive vice president ot the Milwaukee Braves, says the club's first concern will be to strengthen its bench. We 11 worry about second base when we have to." he said. "We don't think there is any need to do anything about second and even if there were, we re not in des perate straits with (Felix) Man tilla." Tebbetts, who joined the Braves' executive family last month, made the remarks Thursday night in an swer to queries about second base man Red Schocndiensl, now un dergoing treatment in St. Louis for tuberculosis.

Red Wings Tie Montreal, 4-4 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It used lo be that the Montreal Forum was spoken about in a whisper by visiting clubs in the National Hockey League. Opposing players were glad to get out. of there with their lives, let alone with an occasional victory or a tic But somewhere along the line, the champion Montreal Canadicns have lost their touch on home ice. Thursday night the Canucks completed a run of four straight games in wich they failed to win at the Forum. It took a goal by Dickie Moore late in the second period to enable Montreal to emerge with a 4-4 tie with the De troit Red Wings. The one-point gain moved pace- setting Montreal two points ahead in the standings. Detroit climbed into a second-place deadlock with the New York Rangers.
