A Southern Oregon confer
ence conflict between two of
the slate's high - regarded
teams lived up fully to pre-
game anticipations on Friday
night. 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.)
Klamath Falls had to come
from behind both in the dy
ing moments of the regular
playing time and in the extra
session to overcome the Black
Tornado.
Tied at 53
With 45 seconds left to go
in the fourth quarter, Med
ford took a 53-to-51 lead on
Bob Quinney'g driving goal,
With a half a minute remain
ing, Wally Palmberg netted a
long onc-hander for 53-all and
that's what the count was at
the end of regulation play.
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 led 15 to 14 at the
quarter and Klamath 32 to 30
and 45 to 42 at the other in
termissions. Widest advantage
in the tiff was five points, 42
to 37 held by Klamath. Other

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

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.

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.

Rules
The rules committee voted
to ask the NCAA to select a
special committee to make a
study of the role of modern
equipment' in Injuries. He said
he wanted the committee to
make a year's study of the
problem, conferring with
equipment manufacturers.
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.
