MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1961 B 5 Houston's Oilers Gain AFL Diadem By KYLE THOMPSON United Press International Houston, Tex. (DPI) K. S (Bud) Adams, who is a suc cessful oil man in his spare time, today had just what he 6et out to get a year ago on Neiv Year's day when he signed Billy Cannon, the most sought after college football player in the nation. It was Cannon, playing his first season of professional football, and veteran Georges Blanda who Sunday teamed up to lead Adams' Houston OileDS to a 24-16 victory over Los Angeles in the first cham pionship game of the infant American Football league. The Houston victory, which saw Blanda pass for three touchdowns and kick an 18 - yard field goal, also was a fitting birthday present for Adams, who will be 38 years i old on Tuesday. ' A record Houston crowd of 32,183 was joined toy an esti mated 40 to 50 million televi sion fans. This was-th first time this season that Cannon teamed up with Blanda . as Houston's chief passing combination. The former Louisiana Stale All - American only grabbed three aerials, but they were good for a total of 128, includ ing one 88 - yard touchdown play. Kept Off Balance Although Cannon had the most net yardage as a pass re ceiver, Blanda mixed up his receivers well to keep the Charges' defense off balance. Altogether the veteran quar back completed 16 out of 3U attempts, passing to five dif ferent receivers. Los Angeles' kicking spe cialist, Ben Abajanian, put to gether consecutive field goals for 38, 22 and 27 yards, be fore the Chargers in the third period were able to penetrate the Oiler goal line. Los Angeles quarterback Jack Kemp, the AFL's top passer of the season, was shaken up early in the second period when he was hit by Oiler back Julian Spence. Kemp's passing accuracy ap peared to be less effective aft er that, although he complet ed 21 out of 41 for a net of 171 yards. Blanda, on the other hand, was more effective-especially on the long pass plays. He completed 16 out of 31 at tempts for a net of 301 yards passing. Beats Former Boss Blarida's touchdown passes included one for 88 to Can non, one to end Bill Groman for seven yards and a 17-yard-er to fullback Dave Smith which was set.up by a 38-yard Blanda-Cannon pass play. the Chargers' only touch down came after Kemp's best pass of f-he game. The Los Angeles quarterback was chased back at least 25 yards before he got off a longcaerial to halfback Dave Doucurek which netted 33 yards and put' the ball on the Houston two. On the next play, halfback Paul Lowe charged over for the score. The fine showing of Blan da, Cannon and fellow Oilers had a special note of pleasure for Oiler Coach Lou Rymkus. It allowed him to beat Los Angeles coach Sid Gilman, who during the 1959 season was Rymkus' boss when tooth worked for the Los Angeles Banff: LA Pacific Victor 28 0 Los Angeles-IUPD-Los Ange les Pacific college, scored four tiirTes in the second half to de feat George Fox of Newberg, 28-0, in the first annual Cru sader Bowl football game Saturday night. Ron Jones and John Mac Arthur teamed up to give Los Angeles Pacific its victory over the Oregon school. Jones scored on runs of nine and four yards, MacAr- thur rambled 63 yards for an other touchdown and Jones connected with MacArthur on a 30-yard scoring pass. .
