By TOM MORRISON Journal Sports Editor Most fans figure the Idaho Vandals have Idaho State's "Bengal tiger trapped, caged and tamed before the arch-rivalry on the gridiron gets under way next Saturday. The way the Northwest sports scribes write about Idaho Vandal fullback Ray McDonald and his thundering runs, perhaps the 6-4 crusher should be nicknamed "Earthquake." Regardless of what many buffs think, when seismographs it Idaho State University recorded an earth tremor recently, it wasn't McDonald practicing at Moscow. The big gridder can't be taken lightly: after all he tips the scales at 248 pounds.

1 Anyway, the Bengal defense has until spring practice to nurse any bumps and bruises and trainer Bob Beeten carries plenty of the necessary bandages in his black bags to keep ISU coach Babe Caccia's charges taped together. Sure, I cast my vote for-McDonald at one of the two fullback spots for All-America on the Football Writers of America Association ballot, but I also picked Nebraska's fine runner, Frank Solich, and he only weighs 158 pounds. I guess some fans think ISU players feel something like the Christians being tossed to the lions by Nero in ancient Rome. Only now it's Big Sky Commissioner Jack Friel tossing tiger to the Vandals. The early Christians faced odds in the Coliseum with faith.

It'll take plenty of faith but more hard-nosed football along with breaks to win at Moscow. the underdogs some- 'times get the adrenalin glands pumping so fast super human efforts are produced commonly called "upsets." It's homecoming for Idaho. There hasn't been an Idaho State team in history faced with a bigger task, but Caccia's clubs have worked great, as spoilers in the past as was the case with undefeated Drake a couple of years back. Drake was in line for a bowl shot and the Bengals bombed 'em good in Pocatello, 33-14. Desire and determination by underdog teams have given many squads the shot in the arm necessary to pull off great upsets.

Bengal players could do it against Idaho. After all, Trigger had enough talent to make Roy Rogers a million dollars. Nothing is impossible. Purdue upsets Notre Dame often and look how many close calls Little Orphan Annie gets through. One of Babe's old sage lines is "on any given Saturday afternoon, a college football team can beat another." You can bet coach Caccia will get his squad "up" for the big one at Moscow.

A victory over the touted Vandals would make fans forget the ISU losses this season. In fact, mosf grid buffs would call it the greatest season in I-State history. The last time the Bengals journeyed to Moscow, the Vandals were heavily favored and were lucky to pull out a 9-6 victory in the final 37 seconds with a nifty punt return and a little "home cooking." "Fido" Murphy, a self-styled football expert known to many Pocatello fans, thinks there are many backs in the country tougher than McDonald and pointed out recently that the Utah State Aggies halted the crushing human juggernaut. Murphy neglected to say the Aggies have a little grid talent themselves. I heard Utah State put Dial soap, "don't you wish every, body did" in the visitors' dressing rooms and then didn't shower themselves for a week.

How can you beat that kind of stinking defense? I'll admit the Vandals have been in some pretty fast company this year, but maybe our defense will be helped by overconfident Idaho players thinking of homecoming festivities and victory celebrations after the game so much, it'll be too late when the final gun sounds. From the opening whistle at kickoff until the final gun Ida, ho State will probably wish Superman would suit up and come to the rescue of the underdog. He'll be out saving Lois Lane from the bad guys and the Bengals will have to claw through the Vandals on their own. Another defense: Caccia can borrow some Beatle wigs from the drama department to put on his players. When they embark at Moscow the first guy off the plane can say, "we sent the cello team and hope to soothe your squad with music and besides we voted to let our hair grow until we lose." Thinking the Moscow barbers will have a field day, the Vandals might get complacent and lose.

If we had a friendly prof on the Moscow campus maybe he lock McDonald in a sound-proof lab in the Engineering building. The last time Idaho Stale upset a heavily favored Idaho team in anything was in 1946. The Vandals won the Northern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference in basketball that year and lost to California in a best of three series for the NCAA Far West Regional berth. The Bengals, coached by Johnny Vesser with a guy named Dutch Sherman hitting a JO-footer in the final seconds, upset Idaho 47-48. So, you can see ISU has hurt the Northerners in the past.

Oh, Babe can't be too worried. The Chief Honcho of the Bengals has been asked to give his opinion on a few of (he Vandals concerning their prospects as professionals. Caccia won't have In walch more a the first two teams maybe only IS or 19. I underslaml a couple of Ihc guys arc injured. Idaho Slale has everything In gain and nothing to lose.

Everybody has already conceded the tilt to the Vandals except the ISU squad and coaches and (hey can't afford that kind of luxury thinking. Now is the time for all good Idaho Slalc gridders to come to the aid their alma mater. Yep, regardless of what fans think, Idaho State is going to show up for (he game and the Bengals will be clawing and growling for a big upset too. Babe's Bengals don't eat raw meat but I'm sure the Vandals will think a pack of angry jungle cats were (urncd loose by Caccia when the game gels under way. It's like Babe says: "We'll show up for the game." Olympic Ski Fund to TV Clay-Patterson Fight For Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Clay, for Floyd Patterson, $375,000.

These are the projected financial shares for the champion and challenger for the Nov. 22 heavyweight title fight at Las Vegas, as estimated by Frederic Brooks, president of Sports Vision, the closed- circuit TV firm. Clay will receive 40 per cent 'of everything," meaning the ive gate and the ancillary rights. Patterson gets 20 per cent. "Inter-Continental Promotions ixpects a live gate of $400,000 in Convention Center," Brooks wints out, "and Sports Vision jlans to have between 225 and 250 closed-circuit locations.

That means about 1,000,000 seats in heatres and arenas throughout the United States and Canada." Idaho fans will be able to see the closed-circuit television of the bout in the Idaho State University gym. The proceeds from the local telecast will go to the United State Ski earn Olympic Fund, Mel Morgan divisional director. The fighters, however, don't receive all of that, or even half of it. The local exhibitors, Brooks explains, keep 45 per cent of their receipts. Sports Vision gets the other 55 per cent, 3ut must share its net income with both fighters.

"Our net," says Brooks, "is about $2.85 for every $6 ticket. Out of that $2.85, after deduction of Sports Vision's share, Clay gets 40 per cent and Patterson 20 per cent. To break it down even further, based on a $6 ticket, Clay personally receives, about 97 cents and Patterson 48 cents from every closed-circuit customer. "The record closed-c i i gate is 563,000 for the first Paterson-Sonny Liston fight in September, 1962 at Chicago," he says. "We'd like to see the Clay-Patterson fight break that record, and we think it will." It Is doubtful, however, that FMC Tnp teams: Misfits 25-11: Union Hoosiers 24-12: Maint.

"In addition to the closed- circuit income," Brooks adds, "the fighters also will share in the movie rights, which figure to come to another the community antenna and foreign radio and TV, another $150,000 plus; and the domestic network! radio rights, a net of another $185,000." It's possible that Sports Vision will break its own record of a $4,200,000 gross, a high for a single sporting event. Brooks, 30, heads up a three- a team which includes Roy Garcia and Bob Rosencrans, vice-presidents of Sports Vision, Inc. Before Brooks and his associates organized the closed-circuit TV firm, he had a varied business background. After being graduated from Columbia University with an economics degree, he served as a Wall Street broker and ac- clunt executive for four years with Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Inc.

Later he joined Model. Roland Co. in a similar position, then moved to Toyer Universal a publicly owned firm in the credit and insurance fields, where he was vice president, treasurer and a director. At Tower, Brooks became acquainted with Garcia, 34, also a Columbia graduate. Garcia had previously served as Chief Investigator for the U.S.

Senate Internal Security Sub-Committee on Foreign and Undisclosed Monies. Rosencrans, 39, has had a long career in closed-circuit television. He has booked nearly $15 million in closed-circuit revenue, more than anyone else in the history of the industry. He was among the closed-circuit TV pioneers when he owned Box-Office Television, which showed Notre Dame football games and several industrial events. He later was the head of closed-circuit prior to joining SportsVision.

It's not entirely a man against beast proposition, either, because a hunter alone and on foot certainly does not have the advantages of those who go hunting well equipped to work the rugged back country. Experienced nimrods think in terms of saddle and pack horses even before deciding which windswept ridge- tops are likely to have the most game during the week or two they plan to hunt. Stories are heard every fall that somebody shot an elk which practically rolled downhill into a pickup truck. Some of them are true. But most of these magnificent big game animals usually match wits with sportsmen in rugged, timbered regions far from roads and the haunts of men.

Moreover, the carcass is too heavy to bring to camp without horses. One quarter is more of a load than the average man wants to backpack. Elk are altogether unlike deer because they are not tied to one particular locality. During the September and early October hunting season, bulls are fighting each other and herding together all the cows they can defend. Tomorrow they may be many miles from where they were yesterday to today.

Ex-1 cept by accident, a man on foot cannot keep up with their wanderings. The only other means for ground transportation that will go most places elk do is a horse. Rubber tires carry elk hunters to the ends of roads and shoe leather gets them back a few miles into more remote sectors. But the difference a few miles make often is the difference between easily accessible and virtually impossible hunting country. and guides to get them into Wa- liti country.

They plan plenty of time for their hunts and get several miles away from back country airstrips. It pays off in quality hunting, prized trophies and meat for the locker. Anywhere from 40 to 90 per cent of Idaho's annual elk kill by lunters is made on northcentral ranges, depending on weather and other factors. About half of the statewide harvest is in the Ciearwater drainage and the counties of Ciearwater, Idaho and Shoshone are all big elk producers. However, all but four of Idaho's 44 counties support some elk and there are many places whe the herds are underharvest- ed.

of these are parts of areas where most of the total kill is made. The good harvests, from the standpoint of sound game management, and those so low that ehrds and range sometimes are out of balance, often Young Goalie Has Great Night Bernie Parent is just 20 years old and he's played only two games as a National Hockey League goaltender. He's got 16 years and 856 games to go before tie can match Terry Sawchuk, the dean of NHL goalies. But Thursday night there was little difference between the two netminders. They were just a couple of sitting ducks for Detroit and Montreal.

Boston's Parent, who came up with a 40-save show in his NHL debut against Chicago Wednesday, shook off 36 Red Wing shots but let eiglU others get by as Detroit routed the Bruins 8-1. Sawchuk was the target of 41 Montreal shots as the Canadians ripped Toronto 5-1. The victories moved Montreal and Detroit into ties with Chicago and Toronto.

Over the past ten years, the average annual elk kill in 15,000 Idaho has been about bulls, cows, and calves. It's against elk nature to accommodate themselves to ill- equipped, inexperienced hunters, and generally works out the i other way around. Most non-JGooding 13, Jerome 6 resident hunters hire outfitters'Salmon 20, South Fremont 6 Boise 19, Highland of Pocatello 6 Borah 27, Caldwell 0 Twin Falls 18, Nampa 0 are spearated by just a few steep trail miles. Horseback hunting generally follows a basic pattern. The most common is for riders to dismount as soon as fresh elk sign is found, hunting quietly and slowly on foot.

Elk some- imes can be taken completely surprise--provided the stalk- ng is from the downwind side-and a shot can be squeezed off with deliberation. But if they get i trace of human scent, elk jreak for cover without waiting or their natural enemy to come into sight. However, they are not the speedsters that smaller members of the deer family are. They are bigger, easier targets. Escape routes often are predictable, and guides often cover such crossings with hunters taking strategic "stands." Success again depends somewhat on favorable wind currents.

There is a notable single-mindedness about elk hunters in ths back country. Relatively few deer are shot, especially early in the season. They are trophy hunters, shooting more bulls than cows until time begins running out and the ticking tyranny.of clock calls them back to responsibilities on the home front. Despite long seasons from mid-September to early December, and increased license sales, Lochsa, Selway and Salmon River drainages has not increased significantly. Figures from a 1960 report show, for example, an average of about 2,300 hunters in the upper Selway, and 1,400 in the wilderness area part of the Salmon River.

Taken from hunter questionnaire and checking station data over the orevious seven years, these averages fluctuated only slightly up and down from season to season. Their relative stability clearly shows that the number of hunters in these wild river drainages is not increasing ia proportion to license sales. Actually, the number now seems to be declining. American Indians of yore gave more time to studying wildlife habits than is possible for most people today and it is said that could lure anything from big game to an oyster to get meat for the pot. But the element of sport was missing and they quite literally were calling for their supper.
