f ? ; t i U (Grid W ebfoots Choices To NEW YORK lUPP-There'll he no holding the nation's four top-ranked teams this weekend according to the college football oddsmakers. Texas, Navy, Mississippi, and Michigan State the power elite of the major college set all have been installed two touchdown or better favorites for Saturday's games, as has been ninth-ranked Nebraska. The rest of the nation's lop 10 are expected to have their hands full with tough oppo nents, especially Illinois I No. 81 which is a three-point underdog to Big Ten rival Wisconsin. Top ranked Texas, with only two teams standing between them and the Southwest Con ference title, a Cotton Bowl bid, and the national champion ship, risks its perfect record against Texas Christian (3-3-1). The Longhorns, the only major college outfit with a spotless slate, are 124 point choices. Roger "Staubach's sensational passing has made Navy (No. 21 a solid 12-point favorite over a 20-20 Duke team, although the Blue Devils are presently in a three-way tie for the Atlantic Coast Conference title. Third ranked Mississippi, skipping merrily to another Southeastern Conference cham pionship, rates 15'j points bet ter than erratic Tennessee; punch-drunk Notre Dame, bat tered and bruised by Navy and Pittsburgh in its last two games, is unlikely to get any sympathy from Michigan State (No. 4i which rates a 13'2-point selection on the strength of Us Big Ten leadership; and Ne braska are 16 points stronger than Oklahoma State. Pitt (No. 5i, Oklahoma (No. fi', and Alabama (No. 7) all rate one-touchdown favorites over ranked opponents. The Panthers are 7-point picks over Army (No. 12 1 in the East's feature game; the Sooners are favored by 6'i over Big Eight rival Missouri (No. 15) and 'Bama is given the same spread over 13th-ranked Geor gia Tech with versatile Billy Lothridge.

Aerial Game Leads National Offense NEW YORK (UPD Gus Dorais and Knute Rockne of Notre Dame could hardly have realized what they were starting when they introduced the first attack of any consequence to surprise Army in li)13. Now, 50 years later, the na tion's college footballers are us ing the air for more than 40 per cent of their travel. The figure has been soaring steadily, reaching a record 39.0 per cent last year, but not until Saturday did it go over the 40 per cent mark. Not only has 40.1 per cent of the 1963 season's mileage to date been pass-produced, but 24 major teams have gained more in the air than on the ground and 33 players have thrown for more yardage than anyone has carried the ball from scrimmage. Emphasizing the point is the fact that seven of the lop 10 major teams in total offense are also in the top 10 in passing in NCAA Service Bureau statistics released today. This passing fancy has also influenced the scoreboard, since the only two teams now averaging over 30 points a game Utah State and Navy are also among the air powers. The most notable exception to the rule is Texas, which came through its battle with air minded Baylor as the majors' only all-winning team after Au burn and Princeton were both dropped from the unbeaten ranks over the weekend. And Princeton has rolled to its 6-1 STORE YOUR BOAT . . . in our new storage sheds. We'll take care of your boat all winter long and have it ready for the water next sorinq.

Kalis, Oregon Wednesday, November 13, 1963 PAGE IB Renf ro Again Well; Nowatske Top Back PORTLAND (UPD-Mel Ren fro will be almost fully healthy and Tom Nowatzke is the "best fullback in the Big 10." Those comments were made Tuesday at the meeting of the Oregon Sportswriters and Sport casters Association by advance men for Saturday's Oregon-Indiana football game here. Art Litchman, athletic public relations chief at Oregon, said Renfro would be "just about 100 per cent" for the game. Renfro suffered a cracked rib in the Washington game here Oct. 26. Tom Miller, publicity chief for Indiana, said Nowatzke, who blitzed Oregon State last week, was the best fullback in the Big 10 "and possibly the country." The crowd in Saturday's game here is being watched as record with an almost total dis dain for the pass. The Tigers have thrown the ball only 54 times, but made them count for five touchdowns. On top in total offense and scoring is Utah Slate, sixth in the passing ranks. Wichita, third in passing, is second in total offense. Navy is fifth in pass ing, seventh in total offense, second in scoring and is the na tion's pass-accuracy leader in a runaway. The Middies have been successful on .669 of their pass attempts and the only oth er major with a better than 60 per cent completion record is Washington, .602. Tulsa look advantage of Bay lor's struggle with Texas to sit in the Bears' chair as this week's team passing leader. Ne braska is fourth in total offense combining its rushing lead with only 722 passing yards. Mississippi, one of two un beaten but tied, majors, is ninth in total offense, seventh in pass ing and first in the nation in touchdown passes with 15. WORLD'S BIGGEST WRESTLER!!
