g g THURSDAY. SIPOMffiTS Raiders Encounter C of I in Tourney Ashland - Southern Oregon college basketball squad, minus a starting guard, opens play in the Northwest Naza rene tournament at Nampa, Idaho, tonight against College o Idaho. In the second game ' tonight, host Northwest Naza rene will face Western Mon tana. Tonight's winners clash Fri day night for the tourney title while the losers meet in a consolation test. The Raiders are entering the two-day tourney without the services of Brad Flanary, a sophomore from Bend, who has been sidelined because ot scholastic difficulties. However, coach Ted Schopf has a pair of capable replace ments for the empty guard slot. One, Jerry Shults, a Mod ford frosh, has performed well in his reserve roll but has to contend with Dave Gardner, a junior from Pros pect. Jensen on Squad Junior Bob Jensen filled in Flanary's position on the 10 ni an traveling squad. Other starters in tonight's fill will be Don Vannice and Dave Hughes at forwards. John Payne at center, and vet Chargers May Move To San Diego Los Angeles - IUPI) - The Los Angeles Chargers fly to Texas Friday to play the Houston Oilers for the championship of the American Football league and they may be leav ing for good. The team that brought this area its only professional title of the year - the AFL Western division championship - may move to San Diego permanent ly next season. . San Diego wants them-and Los Angeles does not, at least on the basis of attendance figures. The Chargers drew some 27,000 in their best showing at the Coliseum but average homo attendance was 15.768 a game. All this caused a reported loss to Barron Hil ton, principal owner, of at least half a million bucks, and even a hotel chain heir can't drop this sort of money with, a smile. In Good Spirits The 35-man Charger squad, nevertheless, was reported in good spirits for the trip to Houston. Only ailing player was linebacker Al Bansavage .who has a touch of the flu. i Two offensive ends, how ever, who played a big part in the Charger 10-4 record, are missing. Ralph Anderson died of diabetes in midscason and Howard Clark is side lined with an injured knee. Anderson caught two touch down passes in the Charger 24-21 victory over Houslin during the regular -season. And he caught one TD pass when Houston beat the Charg ers at Houston, 38-28. The Chargers won a pre-season ex hibition game here, 22-13. "We've met three times and the total score stands, 74-72, 1b favor of the Chargers," coach Sid Gillman comment ed. "Both teams have identical 10-4 records. It has to be a great football game," Rymkus Chosen Coach of Year i New York-IUPII-Lou Rymkus of the Houston Oilers, who learned his football from two of the game's master teachers, today was named the Amer ican Foootball league's Coach- of-lhe Year for 1980 by Unit ed Press International. The 41-year-old Rymkus guided the Oilers to the East em division championship of the Ar L with a 10-4 record In the league's first season of operation. The Oilers play the Los Angeles Chargers for the league championship next Sunday at Houston. Rymkus was a star guard at Notre Dame under Coach Frank Leahy in 1042 and an all-pro with the Cleveland Browns under Paul Brown, Top Spot Kept By Tennessee New York (IJPI Thi UniiH Press International small college unnnL-iiwil iHtmgll (Willi lirai-plHCI? votes and wonlost record i through Dec. 24 In parenlheici): Team Point! 1.

Washington To Conclude Heavy Drill Long Beach, Calif. - IUPII The Washington Huskies to day were expected to wind up heavy drills in preparation for the Rose Bowl game Jan. 2 against Minnesota. A crowd of about 500 - in cluding Midwestern and East ern sports writers - watched the team work out Wednes day in its first and only public drill here. Quarterbacks Bob Hivner and Schlorcdt both worked with the first team as it ran against the third eleven in a dummy scrimmage. The fourth team, using Minnesota offen sive patterns, worked out against the second team. The Huskies, also worked on kickoff and punt timing. Halfback George Fleming was hitting fairly consistently from 20 to 30 yards out in field goal practice. The team looked in good physical shape and was spirit ed, but Coach Jim Owens ap peared to have them under wraps - apparently not want ing to reveal any secrets which might benefit the Gophers. . Hawks Bolster Eastern Bulge United Presi International The St. Louis Hawks arc making a joke of the National Basketball association's West ern division race but it's not funny today to the Eastern division leading Boston Cel tics. The Hawks opened up an 8 '.-4 game lead in the Western division when they whipped the Celtics, 105-99, . Wednes day night. It was the second straight loss for the Celtics and reduced their Eastern first - place lead over the idle Philadelphia Warriors to a half-game. The Cincinnati Royals ral lied from a 20-poinl deficit' with 18 minutes to play to lop the Now York Knicker bockers, 114-104, and the Syracuse Nationals beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 115-113, in other NBA action. Owens Reveals Coaching Secret Long Beach, Calif. - WI'll Coach Jim Owens of Wash ington gave away one of the secrets of his profession today as he disclosed that a bowl appearance was the equivalent of an extra spring practice for a football learn. The youthful Washington conch made the secret known when ho was asked why he sent his third and fourth strings through an extra 30 minutes of work after the first two teams had completed drilling for the Rose Bowl game next Monday. "I guess you would say that constitutes a sort ot extra spring practice for the men who will be back next year," Owens said. "But there's al ways a good chance we may have to use our third and fourth stringers. "So we give thorn the extra work Ihcy can use if they arc to replace our top men in tlie game for any reason. But there's no question that It does (hem a lot of good for next season if they have any eligi bility left." Buck Shaw Returns To SF Triumphantly San KranciscolllPP - Coach Buck Shaw, who was fired in 11)54 by the San Francisco Forty Nincrs because "he couldn't win the big ones, returned home in triumph to day. Shaw coached the Philadel phia Eagles to a world cham pionship this year and then announced his retirement. He was tendered a civic reception at the airport this morning and then received a trophy at Mayor George Chris topher s office. i In addition to his nine years as Forty Nlner coach. Shaw coached at nearby Santa Clara from 1936-42.

The Beavers, who are seek ing another Far West cham pionship, edged Wisconsin's Badgers, 58-54,' and Seattle ran away from Washington State 72-61. Surprising Idaho rang up a 65-51 triumph against Port land and fired-up Arizona State nipped Oregon, 54-53.

From left in the photo are Coach Frank Roelnndt, Jim Barry, Bob Quinncy and Dick Ragsdale. The three have a championship Prep Basketball Circuit Opens Tonight at Crater, Ashland; Grizzlies at Medford Friday Southern Oregon confer ence basketball quintets gel their 1961 campaign off to a head start this evening with four members of the circuit opening their league sched ules a bit more than two days ahead of the new year. Medford, the 1960 league and state A-l banner bearer, will be guest of Crater at Central Point. Grants Pass will vie at Ashland. Conflicts also are on the bill for Friday evening. Klam ath Falls, loop runner-up to Medford last season, third in the I960 state tourney and rated No. 1 in Oregon pres-J ently, makes its debut in the new conference slate as host to Crater. Medford will enter tain Ashland at lledrick gym. Varsity skirmishes will be tipped otf at 8:15 p.m. after sophomore and junior varsity games. Conch Frank Roelnndt of the Medford Black Tornado said Unit his club has been trying to polish its play since the Tillamook scries last week. An aim lias been to keep in condition during the "different" daily routine of the holidays. The Tornado hos also worked on offense against zone defense, the series with Tillamook showing need of such drill. A blow at Medford strength was struck on Tuesday when Sinn Dowson and Scott Eaton each suffered turned ankles in practice. Dowson was not able to go on his ankle in yesterday's workout but Ea ton was able to move pretty well. Roelandt has indicated that his starting five may be Bob Quinncy, Dick Ragsdale, Jim Barry, Mike Hood and Eaton or Bob Mclntyre. For Crater tonighJ, Couch Lloyd Hoffine may pick his five from among Jim Allen, Tom White, Jeff Anliorn, Den nis Edwards, Loyal Higinbot hum and Louis Alvarez. II was uncertain this morning as to whether Edwards could start. His availability awaited a doctor advice. He has been State. The Chieftains led at halftime, 33-25. Eddie Miles paced the Se attle attack with 19 points. Charlie Sells triggered the Cougar offense with 20. Anderson's Shot Wins Karl Anderson tossed In a field goal with 10 seconds left to give Oregon State its win. The field goal, coming on a rebound of a missed shot by Jim Woodland, broke a 54-54 tie. Woodland lc dlhe Oregon Staters with 16 points and Anderson had 12. Arizona Stale, beaten by Oregon 71-55 only a week and a half ago, won the game on Rex Dernovich's free throw with 2:36 remaining. It put Arizona Slate out in front at 54-52. Charlie Warren of Ore gon topped all scorers with 25 points. Idaho was ahead except for an early 3-2 Portland advant age and the win reversed a 53-50 victory by the Pilots earlier this season. Gaty Floan and Chuck White topped the Idaho team with 19 and 18 points, respec tively, Bill Garner and Art Easterly had 12 each for the Pilots. troubled by what seems to be a pulled back muscle. Ed wards shot around a bit at Iho Comets' light workout yesterday but could hardly bend over. Since Edwards, 6-3, is the good, big man of the Comet lineup his presence means much lo the Central Point club. His absence possibly would be more crippling to Crater than the ankle sprains are to Medford. At Ashland Dave Colwell, 6-3, has dropped from the squad and Slewart Hedges, 6-4, is on a holiday trip to Kansas, which means the Grizzlies are missing their tallest men. This is a blow at a time when Ashland, 0-6, in pre-conference play appear ed to be coming on. Conch Earl Iba has had his club working hard on fundamen tals and on measures to im prove its shooting. He men tioned that the Grizzlies have "blown" too many good shots. The Bruins may open against Grants Pass with Dallas Brownson and Jerry Haui'k at the posts and with Larry Johnson. Syd DeBoer and Gale Topper rounding out the lineup. Because a knee cartilage in jury and operation has lost Dan Mclntire to the Cavemen for the season Grants Pass Conch Gordon Prelim is ex pected to move Larry, Junssen lo a guard for the opener at Ashland and have Clyde Mur ray at center. It's between Bob Lewcllyn and Jim Black smith at the other guard and forward choices are among Jim Davis, Lee Burton, Jim Hamilton, Dave JJauntz and Mel Atkins. Janssen hns scor ed 64 markers for GP this sea son and Murray 64. Temporarily on the ailing list at Grants Pass is Al Staley as the result of a chipped foot bone. He's not expected to have service against Ash land but likely will be ready for action against Medford on Jan. 6. i. Possible starters for the Pasadena Victor Over Willamette Chico, Calif. -IUPD- Willam ette, ahead by three points at halftime, dropped an 86-75 decision to Pasadena in the semi-finals of the Chico Invi tational Basketball tourna ment Wednesday night. Pacific Lutheran rolled past Cal Poly of Pomona, 102-87, in the other semi-final game of the eight-team tournament Willamette, which defeated host Chico State Tuesday night, led at halftime, 42-39 Buzz Wilfert and Junior Sato topped the Bearcats with 19 and 17 points, respectively. Roger Bloomquist had 23 to lead the Pasadena scoring at tack. In consolation action, Chap man bounced Humboldt State, 67-56, and Sacramento State edged Chico, 64-63.

By ED FITE Waco, Tex. - IUPII - Talented depth at the end, halfback and quarterback slots make the Baylor Bears a formida ble threat to Florida in the Gator Bowl game Saturday. It is seldom that one team is blessed with so much strength at the key positions of attack. Things are so bright in this respect that the quarterback who hit 56 per cent of his 134 passes and led the South west conference in total of fense and passing yardage is not likely to start against the Gators in the bowl game. That's no particular slam at Ronnie Stanley, the young ster in question, but more of an award to the Bruins' No. 2 signal caller - Bobby Ply. Before the Baylor team left Waco last Monday Coach John Bridgers said he planned to give Ply the starting call. Big Relief Role Stanley has engineered the Baylor offense that clicked for eight victories against a pair of close defeats in a tough league that sent four teams to post - season bowl games. But Ply played a big role in relief and it was Ply who picked up Baylor and moved it to victory over Sugar Bowl bound Rice in the season fi nale. The one-two punch offered at quarterback goes even deeper at the halfbacks where the remainder of Baylor's "three Ronnies" operate. Jun ior' Ronnie Bull carries the big load with a blend of pow er 'and speed, while sopho more Ronnie Goodwin offers the breakaway. Neither of these youngsters can match the third halfback, Tommy Minter. in speed, and Coach John Bridgers often uses all three in the same backficld and shucks his full back, Jim Evans, to the side lines. Evans isn't a dullard afield, by any means, b u t lacks the explosive power needed for a top fullback. So Bridgers tries to offset that with speed. With Stanley and Ply throw ing for 161.8 yards per game, it figures there must be some excellent receivers around somewhere. Goodwin and Bull were the prime targets, with Goodwin leading the league, but ends Bobby Lane and Jerry Moore. also ranked among the cir cuit's top seven receptionists. Bridgers thinks his termi nal trio is as good as any body's anywhere. To go along with Lane, who WHITE SOX SIGN ROOKIE Chicago -UPD- The Chicago White Sox today announced the signing of Bob McKillop, a shortstop and all around high school athlete of Toron to, Canada. McKillop. 18, is a left-handed hitter and right-! handed thrower. He was! signed to a 1961 contract with : Dayton Beach, Fla., the White Sox Class D affiliate for a ! Ohio State, St. Johns To Collide By DICK JOYCE United Press International Ohio State, the nation's top rated team, puts its record on the line against third-ranked St. John's tonight at Madison Square Garden in a "meetin' of the unbeaten" that high lights a frenzy of more than 20 college basketball tourna ments. Three two-day tournaments were decided Wednesday Minnesota Practice Prolonged Pasadena, Calif. - IUPD - A lethargic, performance in prac tice prolonged the agony to day for the Minnesota football team which plays Washington in the Rose Bowl Monday. Coach Murray Warmath had intended to halt heavy work today and taper off the rest of the way. But after Wednesday's workout - called "one of the worst" for the Gophers since coming here -Warmath said he might re quire another full-scale work out Friday. The Minnesota players got some body contact in tackling and blocking drills Wednes day, although there was no all-out scrimmage. One promising note was the return of third string guard Bob McNeil, who suited up Wednesday and will be ready for the Monday game. All-America guard Tom Brown insisted he was in good shape, despite reports of blist ers on his feet. "I wonder if they're talking about the same guy," said Brown regarding the reports. won a starting role away from Moore by mid-season, Bridg ers has Arnold (Sonny) Davis, a 6-2, 215-pounder who the coach tabs as "an all-purpose" wingman-strong blocker, ex ceptional defender and "fine hands." Lane, a part Cherokee In dian, turned into a terror on defense to win Moore's post, but also turned in some great clutch receiving to hold onto the job. The Bears have quite a few other men who contributed to manufacturing Baylor's fifth post-season bowl invita tion, but these eight were the keys that opened the doors to all the victories.
