Placement Kick Still Liked By' Most New York -ttPB- The major ity of the nation's college football ' coaches apparently are not born gamblers. Most coaches still prefer settling for the "old fashion ed" placement kick instead of "shooting the works" on a .two-point rush or pass play after each touchdown, a sur vey conducted by the NCAA Service Bureau revealed to day. The reason for this conser vative approach to the new Pin Elimination Tourney Set for Medford Alleys Medford Bowling lanes will be host Saturday night and Sunday, Nov. 1 and 2, for re gional eliminations of the Or egon men's match game cham pionships of the Oregon state bowling proprietors. Keglers will attempt to qualify for semi-finals and finals scheduled Nov. 7, 8 and fl at Portland. Top rollers at Portland will earn the right to go to the national tourney at New York. Fred Anderson, Medford lanes proprietor, said that it was hoped to equal here the turnout of some 40 at the 1957 eliminations at Klamath Falls. Bowlers will be here next week end from Brookings, Ashland, Grants Pass, Med ford and Klamath Beaverton Grid Star Drops Offer Portland -(UPB- Mickey Sin nerud, an all-state football player at Beaverton high school last season, was report ed today to have turned down a $50,000 offer from the Mil waukee Braves of the Nation al league.

Passes Unsuccessful The survey of 323 games played thus far this year showed that major colleges have been successful in 65.1 per cent of their kicking at tempts, 50.2 per cent of their rushes and only 42.9 per cent of their passes for extra points. In last weekend's major college games, the coaches i Medford men's and wom en's teams went to Klamath Falls on Sunday for the open ing of additional alleys at the lanes there and were on the short end of team totals against Klamath rivals.

In the second tussle Klamathites took all three games and carded a bulging 3,008 while the Med ford five faltered to a 2,582.

Mentors elected to kick for the extra point 60 per cent of the time, the NCAA reported. The survey also revealed these important facts: -The new conversion rule has helped reduce the number of tie games. -Pacific Coast teams are the greatest two-point gamblers but Eastern teams have been the most successful pass-run exponents. -College teams are kicking field goals at a record pace. In the matter of tie games, there have been only nine so far this season compared to 17 at this stage of the 1957 campaign. These figures, of course, are based on the 109 major college teams surveyed. Go For Broke Pacific Coast teams have "gone for broke" by shooting for two points about 60 per cent of the time but they have been successful only about 40 per cent of the time. Eastern teams, on the oth er hand, have been successful in 61.7 per cent of their two point conversion, tries. Partly because of this, the East leads the nation with a scoring av erage of 36.3 points per game. The Midwest, which usually produces the highest-scoring games, ranks third this year with a 32.9 average. Field goal production is soaring towards a new rec ord. A total of 54 have been kicked with slightly more than half the season complet ed compared to the record of 82 set in 1952. Last year's to tal was 64.

Stand ard, Mapleton; Clinton Kelly, Fanfare Review of statistics of Med ford high's six football games so far this season provide a good bit of interesting infor mation. Of particular note are the Black Tornado's defensive achievements and the way scoring has been divided. Of defensive significance is the fact that Medford has al lowed only one touchdown by an opponent, that in the first game of the season and scored by North Salem. . Offensive honors have been well shared with 14 Torna does getting into the scoring act. Dick Ragsdale has crossed for five touchdowns while Skip Bennett, Gerry Lyons and Danny Sieg each have three. Ron Reich and Don Peek each have two and Ken Durkee, Calvin Dean, Lowell Dean, John Harvey and Leon ard Griggs one apiece.

The two aggregations are among Oregon's lop rat ed ones and the tangle is figured as the District 5 A-l decider. Southern Oregon conference schools are par ticularly interested because the loop champ will meet the District 5 titlist in state quarter-finals. Speed Prescott in his Ash land Tidings account of the Crater-Ashland high football game last Friday night com mented that for Ashland the only bright spot of the eve ning was "the sterling per formance of the high school band, the pep club, majorettes and the flag girls . . ." He added, "Had the Grizzlies ap plied themselves in like man ner, the scoreboard would have had a different story to tell." Crater won the game 40 to 13. "The Crater Comets played heads-up ball, nothing extra ordinary, just plain good fun damental football . . Pres cott declared. He also re marked that the Grizzlies "were determined to be their own worst enemy." Crater dominated the con flict ' almost all the way and the score is evidence that the Comets took advantage of a good share of their opportuni ties. RECOLLECTION Medford high gridders go to Ashland next Friday heavy favorites but with 28 lettermen back from last year, the Tornado will go into the tangle mindful of the fact that they had Gris zly trouble in 1957 and just squeaked by 15 to 6.
