And, certainly, if Klam ath Union High school's Pell cans rate their No. 1 designa tion in the state, Medford's fighting Black Tornado is de serving of its high ranking, too. Sherm Allen, a reserve and Johnny-come -lately to the fray, cut loose from the top of the key with two seconds left to play. His shot swished through the hoop and gave the Pelicans a 58-to-56 nod over No. 2 and 4-ranked Med ford In a rip-roaring down-to, the buzzer pressure-filled ov ertime scramble here. (Note to the Medford school board: Check those roof sup ports at the Hedrick gym They suffered a terrific shak ing from the thunderous up roars of a iampacked crowd.)

Quinney opened overtime scoring with a driver and minute later got a free toss for a 56-lo-53 Medford lead. Then, a fifth personal foul was whistled on the Tornados rugged playing John Tiche- nor. Referee Hal Douglas did not like Tichenor's reaction to the call and inflicted a tech nical infraction, Gary Patzke missed on the personal but Palmberg flipped in the tech nical try. A foul was called on Quinney with 71 seconds left. Bruce Brlckner put in both his attempts to knot the skirmish. Medford took possession and played ball control. With eight seconds on the clock, Quinney moved in for a shot. The effort failed and Klam ath retrieved the ball and fast broke down the court, That's when Allen, who had been high scorer in the jayvce game got the winning bucket. 12 Times Knotted Victory gave Klamnlh a 4-0 standing in the circuit to Med ford's 3-1. The Pels now are 9-1 for the full campaign and Medford 8-2. Score was tied 12 times and the lead switched hands on 13 occasions In the hectic tussle.

MEDFORD, OREGON most more than they could handle, the Tornado got some fine floor work, feeding, driv ing and - adept maneuvering from its starting combine and the Tornado turned in aggres sive, rugged play on the part of all hands. Dick Ragsdale had to play it careful more than 18 minutes with four fouls against him but still re tained defensive effectiveness. The Pels were a bit the smoother team. But, the Tor nado was not outdone in hus in anticipation of a possible rebound. KF Pelican beyond the men in the air is Ray Taylor (33). Stan Dowson (12), Medford, comes up on the play and at far right is Scott Eaton of the Black Tornado. Klamath won the see-saw battle 58-56. New York, and Barron Hilton of Los Angeles. "Such strides in quality of play were made this season that we now consider such a playoff game necessary to the continued progress of profes sional football," Foss said. "We also agreed that this game would, from the begin ning, be the showpiece of all football games in America." "For these reasons we an nounce ourselves ready today to meet with NFL officials and negotiate arrangements for this proposed playoffs -the series to begin between the 1961 champions of both leagues." The American league own ers ended their three -day meeting here today by also: -Paving the way for ex pansion to ten clubs in 1962 and twelve clubs in 1963. -Protesting to the National Broadcasting company against what the AFL called "favor itism" of rival NFL players in the Senior Bowl game. -Voting to keep league headquarters in Dallas instead of moving it to New York. -Revealing that the eight clubs in their first year of operation lost at least $3.5 million. -Electing K. S. (Bud) Adams, owner of the AFL champion Houston Oilers, to succeed Hunt as league presi dent. -Voicing strong optimism about the future of the league. Drops Bombshell Adams dropped a minor bombshell during the meeting when he announced the Oilers had signed the Chicago Bears' star end Willard Dewveall for the 1961 season. This was the first occasion where a name NFL player jumped to the AFL. Speculation that the Los Angeles club would seek to move to San Diego did not come up in the meeting, how ever, it was generally be lieved that such a proposal will be made before the 1961 senson begins. Foss, In answer to a ques tion, said that such permission could be granted by a tele phone survey of the owners.

MAIN AT FIR No Major In College Miami Beach - (UPD - Hard plastics used for football equipment may have caused an increase in injuries to col lege players over the past few years, Gen. Robert Neyland said Saturday. Neyland also indicated there won't be any drastic changes in substitution rules, or any change in scoring, in college football this year. The athletic director at the University of Tennessee re ported on progress after a day and a half of meetings by his rules committee of the Nation al Collegiate Athletic associ ation. Neyland said there was so much discussion of proposed changes in substitution rules that the committee had not voted on any changes. He said there would be another meet ing tomorrow, at which pro posed changes might be ac cepted or rejected. Injuries Increase Neyland said a study by the equipment and injuries sub committee showed an increase in injuries to players "over the past few years." There is a feeling, he said, that such injuries as neck strain and rib bruises might be caused by hard, unyielding plastic sur faces to helmets, face guards and other gear. He said leath er is less likely to cause injur ies, but is more expensive. He said the length of foot ball cleats may be responsible for numerous ankle and knee injuries.

Changes Proposed Neyland said "many changes" in substitution rules have been proposed by coach es. The only one he mention ed was one to allow a player to enter a game only once in a quarter. Neyland ruled out any changes in scoring. "This committee will wait a long time before It changes the scoring values," he said, Neyland said he had been "bitterly opposed" to tha change which added the two point score after touchdown.
