o TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) mm Promise 1 By HAL WOOD San Francisco ft? The rains came to San Francisco Saturday and the forecast is ' goofy going-' when the Forty Niners tangle with the Detroit Lions in the playoff game today for the west era division chimpionship of the National Professional Football league. Despite the inclement weather, a sell-out of nearly 60,000 fans is assured for Kerar stadium at kick-off time, 1 p.m. (PST). There will bfe national television (CBS), but local blackout for 150 miles. While the game rates as strict ly a toss-up in the minds of both Coach George Wilson of Detroit and Frankie Albert of San Fran cisco, the gamblers have taken a different view. They have in stalled the Forty Niners as three and one-half point favorites. '"It should be an even-up game," says Albert. "It all de pends on who gets the breaks," Wilson concurred. It is Wilson's opinion, how ever, that the wet going will aid the San Francisco club. "With two 'heavy runners like Gene Babb and Joe Perry in the lineup," said Wilson, "The Forty Niner ground attack ought to be stronger than ours." He failed to elaborate on the Statement or to discuss why San Francisco's men should run bet ter in the mud than his own famed ballpackers, Howard (Hopalong) Cassidy and John Henry Johnson. Johnson is a former local boy who has seen plenty of rain in the winter. Most observers believe that the game will be decided via the air waves. One thing the mud may do is to make Tobin Rote, Detroit quarterback, stay in the "pocket." Rote, second highest ground-gainer on the Lion squad, ! is noted as a pass-run option per former and he may find that slippery footing makes it tough to escape tacklers if he leaves the "cup." On the other hand. Forty Nin er uQarterback Y. A. Tittle, al ready more-or-less immobilized by injuries as far as running is concerned, had planned to stay in the "cup" anyway. The Detroit team that will start on the offensive will be missing three of its regulars. Charley Ane, veteran tackle, will be sidelined by leg injuries and his place taken by Rookie Ken Russell, who weighs as much as Ane, but lacks the experience. Gene Gedman, the regular left half, also is sidelined with in juries and in his spot probably will go End Jim Doran. That will move End David Middleton up to the left end spot. The other reg ular. Quarterback Bobby Lane, is out for the year, of course, with a broken leg Meanwhile, San Francisco will be at its strongest for the game. There even is hope that the great young end, Clyde Conner will see some action. And Ted Con nolly, regular offensive guard, return3 to duty after weeks on the side-lines The probable offensive starting line uns: San Francisco POS Detroit McElhenny L E Middleton Cross Bosley Morze Palateil?

The Journal said plans aimed at cutting delays in obtaining justice and increasing adminis trative efficiency probably will be introduced in the legislatures of Illinois, New York, Connecti cut, Wisconsin and North Caro lina. Illinois' legislature already has approved an amendment to the constitution for popular vote in 1958 which would bring into one court system all of the trial courts in the state. However, the Illinois and Chicago Bar As sociations are not satisfied with the proposal. New York's legislature turned down court reform proposals made by a legislature commis sion but the commission is ex pected to submit a bill again. A court reform plan was de feated by the Connecticut legis lature last year, while in Wis consin the public rejected a re organization plan that had been passed by the legislature.

Coach Len Casanova declared he felt his squad would 'do a pretty representative job" and added he "certainly could under stand the Ducks being 19-point underdogs because of Ohio States ranking as the No. 1 team in the nation." Len said the team had been bothered by some rain during practice the past week and would welcome clear skies here in or der to return "to a mere rea sonable routine in practice." Sanders Mum On Texas Job Los Angeles (IP) UCLA foot ball coach Henry (Red) Sanders discussed a reportedly plush Texas A and M offer with Ath letic Director Wilbur Johns Sat urday, but apperently put off any decision until after an em ergency meeting of the Los An geles school's board of control Monday. Johns' brief statement follow ing a two-hour session with San ders Saturday afternoon kept partisans of both schools in a state of suspense. Sanders per sonally has not indicated what will be the basis of his decision. Sanders returned from Texas A and M by plane Saturday. His flight was delayed and didn't arrive until 1 p.m. He left im mediately for the campus and the meeting with Johns. After the session, Johns said he expected no announcement would be forthcoming until aft er the special session Monday.

OP) Seattle, with big Elgin Baylor hitting for 29 points, rolled to an 80-51 vic tory over West Point's cold shooting Cadets Saturday night in the consolation game of the Blue Grass festival tournament. The story of the game was simple when Army shot, it us ually missed and when the Ca dets missed, Baylor usually got the rebound. Baylor dominated both boards as he collected 35 rebounds along with his 29 points. The eighth-ranked Chieftans moved into a quick 10-2 lead as Jim Harney hit two set shots, Baylor netted a follow-up and Don Ogorek pumped in a jump shot. Army's jump shots from around the circle were failing to hit and the Cadets made good only 19 per cent of their shots in the first half, which ended with Se attle leading 36-20.
