Then Medford took a 7 to 5 edge in the first quar .ter and was not headed after lhat. The Comets, however suc ceeded in making a tougher and closer game of it. Backboard control, paced by ;big Neil Plumley, more accurate field goaling sparked by Tom Hamlin, Dick McLaughlin and Dick Copple and rugged defen sive work paid off for the Tor nado crew.

Minnesota Tips 1 1 1 in i n Big Ten By UNITED PRESS Illinois, the nation's only high ranked basketball team to stum ble at the start in the race for conference championships, will be battling to regain its footing tonight when it tangles with Iowa's defending Big Ten cham pions. The Illini, who were upset, 91 88. by Minnesota on Saturday night on a brilliant performance by Jed Dommeyer, thus fell out of step with such cage powers as Kansas, Kentucky, and UCLA. Illinois, ranked sixth in the nation by the United Press Board of Coaches, held sharp- shooting Dommeyer scoreless in the first half of Saturday s game and held a 47-43 halftime lead. But Dormmeyer broke loose with 20 points in the'second half, off setting 28 by George Bonsalle of Illinois and clinching the game. With an 0-1 mark in Big Ten play as a result of this loss, Illi nois will be favored to even its mark tonight when it plays host to Iowa (4-4), since the Hawkeyus aren't up to their form of last vpar. Wilt Has Bad N' ,ht Kansas, the nation's No. 1 team, opened its quest for the Big Seven championship with a 92-79 victory over Missouri de spite what rivals would call a "bad night" by Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain. The 7-foot soph missed 12 of 17 shots and wound up with "only" 23 points for the night plus 22 rebounds but it was more than enough to help Kansas boost its overall season record to 10-0. Third-ranked Kentucky, which missed winning the Southeastern Conference title last season for the second time in 13 years, opened its new drive with a 95 72 victory over Georgia Tech for a 9-2 overall record, and seventh-ranked UCLA squeaked to a 69-68 victory over Idaho. Among the other members of the "Big Five," second-ranked North Carolina was idle and fifth ranked Louisville, an indepen dent, romped to an 86-67 victory over DePaul as Bill Darragh led the way with 26 points. Seattle Tips Pilot Quint Portland (U.R) Seattle Uni versity, spurred by 41 points from crafty Elgin Baylor, over came an 11-point halftime deficit here yesterday afternoon to gain a tie with the University of Portland, then reeled off ' 12 points in an overtime period to win going away at 87-81. Seattle won Saturday night 81-68 with Baylor getting 33 points. Baylor, the 6-6 pivot man for the Chieftains, canned 17 field goals, hitting at nearly a .500 clip to lead the assault on the Pilot lead yesterday. . ' But in the all-important over time period it was Jim Harney who came through with six points when the Chieftains need ed them most. Margin Melts Portland's halftime margin of 45-34 melted away midway through the second stanza. With 10:41 still on the clock. Seattle had moved into a 61-61 knot with the Pilots. From there it was nip and tuck until the final 75-75 tie with 2:40 still remaining in the game. Both clubs missed scoring opportuni ties in the last frantic minutes to move the game into overtime. Dick Stricklin bagged 14 out of 18 free throw opportunities and added four two pointers to follow Baylor in the Chieftain scoring column with 22. High for Portland was Dick Jolley with 24.

Oregon Tech Grabs Pair By UNITED PRESS Action in the Northwest con ference with only one week end game scheduled, followed pre season form but in the neigh boring Oregon Collegiate confer ence the hoop results had the dopesters already efraid they had climbed on the wrong band wagon. Oregon Tech was the team that played havoc with the OCC picture. The Owls twice banged out easy wins over Portland State, a team prominently men tioned as headed for a third straight title.

NCAA Opens Convention St. Louis (U.R) The NCAA's biggest convention 51st for the National Collegiate Athletic association tackled such weighty problems as football re cruiting today, and some out-of-work coaches went job-hunting. The job-hunting promised to provide as much entertainment, or more, than the weeklong as sault on such matters as financial aid, relations between major league baseball and the colleges and next fall's football television plans. The TV committee met for the whole day today. Sessions were closed. Musical Has Clinic Walter Byers, executive di rector of the NCAA, said it would be the biggest convention by far, with some 1,500 persons attending, about 1,000 of them coaches. Athletic directors, col lege presidents, and s p o r ts figures made up the rest of the convention crowd. Stan (The Man) Musial headed a list of leading major leaguers in conducting a baseball clinic for collegiate coaches as the con vention got down to business McLoughlin JH Wrestlers Win McLoughlin Junior high ninth graders defeated the Klamath Falls freshmen, 33 to 19 Friday in a wrestling match. Winners for McLaughlin were Louis Thurston, Ray Smith, Don McCurdy, Bob Eckel and Elgan Cook by falls and Gene Dalbec and Jack Young by decisions. Ken Nelson drew with his op ponent. Losers by decision were Dex ter Staniforth, Bill - Williams, Jim Johnston and Douglas Was- den. Sandy Uhrine lost by fall. Gardner Dickinson Gains LA Golf Lead Los Angeles (U.R) The scramble for the big pot in the 535,000 Los Angeles Open golf tournament went into the final round today with most of the veteran stars slated for also-ran positions. Gardner Dickinson, taciturn 29-year-old shotmaker from Pan ama City, Fla., a latter-day rep lica of Ben Hogan, was in front as the field of 68 teed off for the $7,500 first place jackpot. But there are so many great golfers breathing down his neck that the result looks like a toss-up. Dickinson finished the first 54 holes with a 208 score one stroke ahead of Art Wall, Poc- ono Manor, Pa.; two in front ofj Doug Higgins, Midland, Tex., and three in front of Doug Ford, the former PGA champion from Mahopac, N.Y.; Harry Weetman, Oregon State Splits; Ducks To Open in PCC By UNITED PRESS Oregon and Oregon State both move into Pacific Coast Confer ence basketball action this week end with the Beavers staving home for a pair of weekend games with USC while Oregon meets California in a brace of games in Berkeley. Oregon is still untested in conference play, drawing a bye the opening week. Oregon State came out of its initial round of counting play with a 1-1 rec ord. Oregon State's Saturday night loss to Stanford by a 60-58 count was a near repeat of Friday night's opening game when the Beavers eked out a 64-63 win. Stanford trailed the Beavers by three points at the half but stormed into a nine point bulge with only six minutes of the last chapter gone. With a minute and a half left in the game, Paul Neumann, high point man for the Indians, hit from the corner to break a 58-58 tie and that was the end of the night's scoring. Dave Gambee and Neumann each stuffed 20 points through th'e hoop for the night, while Bill Bond had 17 for Stanford and Ken Nanson garnered 16 points for Oregon State. By UNITED PRESS California, Washington and UCLA got past the first week end of Pacific Coast conference basketball unscathed and Uni versity of San Francisco served notice on the California Basket ball association that the Dons were not playing dead yet. The Bears, Bruins and Hus kies scored double victories and had relative easy opponents com Hopes of New York Giants Doomed by Jack Robinson By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) The New York Giants' last-ditch efforts to prevent Jackie Robinson's re tirement from baseball were doomed today by Jackie's state ment he wouldn't play again "for a million dollars" and his anger at the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson disclosed during the week end he is quitting his his toric career in baseball for even more lucrative work with a res taurant chain and a national magazine. "I can't imagine any condi tions under which I would change my mind," Robinson in sisted. "That goes especially aft er what I read Vice President Buzzy Bavasi of the Dodgers said about me the other day." The 36-year-old Robinson, first Negro in organized baseball, was brimming over with anger at Bavasi even as rie announced his departure from the diamond. Ba vasi was quoted as saying Rob inson treated the press unfairly, in concealing his retirement plans from Dec. 12 until last Saturday, when they were an nounced through a magazine. (Look). Bavasi added, "You fel lows (newspapermen) will find you've been tooting the horn for the wrong fellow." "I thought Bavasi was a better friend of mine than to say that," said Robinson in sngry tones. "Oh well, it's not the first time he popped off without know ing what he was talking about." Before Bavasi's remarks were made known, Robinson had been quoted as saying he might re turn to baseball if the president of his new company, the restaur ant chain, so desired. But now Jackie insists, "I'm through play ing ball, period." Robinson admitted he "had to mislead" reporters about h i s plans when his trade from the Dodgers to the Giants was an nounced on Dec. 13. He couldn't say anything, even though he had already signed with the restaurant chain on Dec. 12, be cause he was bound by contract with the magazine to save the announcement of his retirement for them. "When I was told by Bavasi of the trade," Jackie explained, "I phoned vice president Chub Feeney of the Giants and urged the announcement be held up. I long-hitting Ryder Cup star from London; Dow Finsterwald, Bed ford Heights, Ohio, and the 36 hole leader, Bill Casper Jr., Chula Vista, Calif. Further down the list, but still in contention for the big prize are the pre-tournament favorite. Dr. Cary Middlecoff, Dallas, Tex.; Jackie Burke Jr., Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., the Mas ters and PGA champion; and Fred Hawkins, the tall Texan from El Paso. They each had 212 totals. At 213 are Tommy Bolt, Houston, Tex., and Billy Max well, Odessa, Tex. But such men as defending champion Lloyd Mangrum 218; former National Open champion Ed Furgol 218; Gene Littler 215; Mike Souchak 215 and Bobby Rosburg 219, appeared to be out of contention for the top money. ing up next week end with UCLA a slight choice to go all the way in the PCC. USF notched one easy victory and appeared a solid bet to an nex the CBA crown again. UCLA scored its 28th and 29th consecutive PCC victories, but the Bruins did it by the narrow est of margins. Friday night UCLA beat underrated Idaho 64- 63 in double overtime and Satur day scored an equally thin 69 68 win over the same club. Washington Victor Washington hung two defeats on Southern California 76-72 and 80-78 while California had the easiest job of the three, tak ing Washington State into camp 66-59 and66-51. The only other PCC action saw Stanford and Oregon State split a pair of thrillers. The Beavers got the Friday tilt 64-63 when Jerry Crimmins hit from 20 feet out with 20 seconds to go. Then sophomore Paul Neumann did likewise for the Indians Satur day night for a 60-58 Stanford victory. USF flashed some of its old time form in the CBA opener after the Dons had lost four out of their last five non-conference titles. The defending national champions beat a good San Jose State team 66-51 Friday night. Saturday night, USF sat it out while College of Pacific trounced Loyola 84-67 and San Jose State defeated Pepperdine 80-54, Stanford plays at California Tuesday night and then the week end of Friday Saturday games finds USC at Oregon State, Washington State at UCLA, Oregon at California and Idaho at Washington said I would have my plans ready by Jan. 10. But the Giants said they couldn't hold up the announcement because the news might leak out." The deal, 'which thus was doomed even before it was an nounced publicly, is cancelled by Robinson's retirement or will be when Jackie goes through the formality of officially ap plying for voluntary retirement from baseball. The Giants will get back the $30,000 cash, plus southpaw pitcher Dick Little field, they gave the Dodgers. Giant owner Horace Stone ham said in Phoenix, Ariz., Sun day he will spare no expense to get Robinson to play, but Jack ie's attitude left no hope for Stoneham. Jack Puscas On Ring Card Jackie Puscas, Medford, will tangle with Teddy Hall, Se attle, Tuesday night in a four round pro bout on the Bob Satierfield-Dale Hall card in Portland. Puscas defeated Teddy In an October fight. Portland (U.R) The nation's ninth ranked heavyweight. Bob !

Score 80-66 Verdict Over Mountaineers in OCC Ashland Southern Oregon college's Red Raiders overcame temporary lead by Eastern Oregon in the late stages of the game Saturday night and poured on a blistering six-minute attack that netted Coach Ted Schopfs Ashland cagers a 80-66 conquest Pros Subdue Collegians In Hula Tiff Honolulu (U.R) The pro-pow ered Hawaii All-Stars proved one thing Sunday in their 52-21 clobbering of the College All- Stars in the Hula Bowl: A sure way to victory is to play an out classed team. It was that kind of ball game. Norm Van Brocklin, the "Fly ing Dutchman" of the Los Ange les Rams, had a field day as he led his mates in a display of power that had the collegians rocky in the first half and reel ing in the second. Van Brocklin passed for five touchdowns and kicked four con versions all drop kicks. Brcdie Injured John Brodie, the Stanford passing whiz, was slated to lead the amateurs' attack from the quarterback slot. But he was racked up in the second quarter and Notre Dame's Paul Hornung was moved over from the full back position to fill the gap. The Collegians finally got on the scoreboard when Hornung started passing. A toss to Pitt's All-America end Joe Walton netted 34 yords in the second period and the College All-Stars only first half touchdown. The halfway edge was 18-7. Hornung was voted the out standing back and Bob Toneff of the Forty Niners was named the outstanding lineman. Putnam Dropped From Pro Bowl Western Squad Honolulu (U.R) Duane Put nam, Los Angeles Ram lineman, said today he may ask the newly formed players, committee Jo take action against Pro Bowl of ficials for dropping him from the seventh annual grid classic in Los Angeles Jan. 13. Although accepting football commisioner Bert Bell's decision to remove him from the lineup, Putnam made it clear he was not happy about the action. Heck Replaces 3ell announced in Los .Ange les Sunday that Putnam was-be-ing replaced by offensive guard John Hock of the Rams. Offi cials said Putnam was dropped because he failed to return from Honolulu, where he played in the Hula Bowl, in time for prac tice with the Pro Bowl's West squad. Putnam said at least four oth er players had played in both the Hula Bowl and the Pro Bowl, but "I'm the first one pen alized for it." The others, he said, were Elroy Hirsch, Lou Groza, Otto Graham and Doak Walker. j "Nothing was done to them," he said.

Norman Oliva added 13 points before he fouled out with 9V4 minutes remaining . in the game. Oliva held EOC's Bill West to eight counters and five rebounds, gathered in 19 rebounds himself and watched West leave the game in the second half with two minutes having been played.
