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.
. The Crusader Bowl matches
the winner of the Golden
State Athletic association in
LA and the Willamette Chris
tian College conference in
Oregon.
