Idaho, tonight against College
o Idaho. In the second game
' tonight, host Northwest Naza

scholastic difficulties.
However, coach Ted Schopf

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,"

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. .

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

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."

Depth of Talent Makes
Baylor Formidable Threat

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
