In Pro Star Encounter
By NORMAN MILLER
Syracuse, N. Y. - IUPD - The
11th National Basketball as
sociation All-Star classic will
be remembered as the game

performance and Pettit scored
an All-Star record 29 points

sula layouts. Palmer, winner
of the San Diego Open last
Sunday, is undoubtedly the
nation's top golfer and hence
a favorite In any competition
he enters. Goalby is fresh

Tuesday night. Al Thompson

while Mel Counts hit 18 for

Not even the defensive men
ace of 7-foot-2 cnamberiain
and 6-foot-10 Bill Russell of
the Boston Celtics playing at
the same time' for the East
could deter the West's start
ing group from breaking open
the game with a 28-point lead
in the first period.
Wilt Scores 12
Chamberlain, who leads the
NBA with an average of 37.6
points per game, had one of
his most wretched nights since
he joined the pro league.
Guarded magnificently by
Lovelette throughout most of
the game, Chamberlain scored
only two field goals and eight
of 15 free throws for 12
points.-Although he played 38
minutes of the game, he did
not score a field goal until
the third period.' ,
"This was rougher than a
regular league game," he
lamented in the locker room
afterward. "First it was Lovel
icttc, then Pettit and then
Walter Dukes. All three play
ed harder than they do in an
ordinary game."
Lovelette confirmed this. "I
played him (Chamberlain) the
same way I usually do, except
that tonjght I think I played
a little harder."
Coach Red Auerbach of the
East said, "the game was lost
in the first period." Asked
why he did not remove Cham
berlain when it became ap
parent that the Philadelphia
Warriors center was having a
poor night, Auerbach replied
wryly:
"I wanted to sec If he could
score a field goal." -Sals
Assist Record
Robertson scored 23 points,
grabbed nine rebounds and
was credited with an Ail-Star
game record of 14 assists. He
scored 13 of his points during
the West's first-period spree.
The West's' 47 points in that
period was one pf the 17 rec
ords set. :
The West connected on 17
of 28 field goal attempts for
a .607 percentage during that
torrid first quarter and out-
ebounded the East, 27-15. The
'cold" East squad hit on only
seven of 20 first-period field
goal tries.
Russell, Dolph Schayes of
the Syracuse Nationals and
Paul Arlzln of the Warriors
led a second period spurt
which enabled the East to nar
row Us deficit to 15 points at
64-40.
Wait Rolls Again
Pettit and Lovelette were
sitting on the sidelines during
that East rally and as soon as
they returned to the lineup,
the West rolled into high gear
again and sped to a 22-polnt
advantage at half-time. The
East never threatened serious
ly again.

By NORMAN MILLER
New York-HJPII-The Nation
al Football league is winning
the war with the young Amer
ican league over the signing
of the best college players for
next season, a United Press
International survey showed
today.
Although the opportunities
for making the grade appear
to be better in the AFL, the
loading college stars, by a ra
tion of more than 2-1, have
indicated they would rather
risk Iheir pro playing chances
in the tougher-to-make NFL.
NFL clubs have signed 33
of their leading 49 draft picks,
according to the UPI survey;
AFL clubs have announced
the signing of only 11 of their
top 31 choices. Seventeen of
these AFL draftees already
have signed with NFL clubs
and one has gone to Canada
(All - American guard Tom
Brown of Minnesota).
So far, 9 of the 13 NFL
teams have signed their No. 1
pick. Not one NFL team has
lost a first draft choice to
cither the AFL or the Cana
dian league. Four other
NFL top choices cannot sign
a pro contract because they
have eligiblity remaining in
other college sports.
AFL Signs Only Two
In contrast, only 2 of tne
8 AFL teams have signed their
top draft picks. These are All-
Amencan center fc. J. JtioiuD
of Texas Tech, signed by the
Dallas Texans, and end Earl
Faison of Indiana, signed by
the Los Angeles Chargers.
Holub also was the second
draft choice of the Dallas
Cowboys in the NFL and
Faison was tne No. o pick
of the Detroit Lions.
Beside Holub and Faison,
the only two college stars who
so fur nave prcieiica uto
ydungcr league to the NFL
were Fred Aroanas oi lviicni
gan Stale and Stew Barber
of Penn Slate. Arbanas, sign
ed by the Texans, was the No.
2 choice of the St. Louis L-ar-dinals;
Barber, who cast his
lot with the Buffalo Bills, was
the No. 3 pick of the NFL
Dallas Cowboys.
In analyzing the NFL sign-
ings, it should be pointed out
that each club in the older
league was reasonably certain
of corrallng lis no. i pic ai
the time ot the draft.
During the NFL draft meet
ing last month, before select
ing a player, each club tele-
Dhoned him to determine
whether he was committed to
an AFL or a Canadian team.
If so, the NFL shied away
from him.
Gamble and Lota
American Football league
clubs drafted in November,
before they had any indication
whether they could sign their
oreferenccs.
Most of them thus gambled
and lost, The Denver Broncos
and New York Titans have not
announced the signing of
anv of their first 5 draft
nicks: the Boston Patriots
have managed lo sign only
their No. 4 selection.
Of Hie 5 players who were
made the first draft choice of
clubs in both leagues, fouc
already have signed with the
NFL.
These were: Mike Dilka ot
Pitt, who chose the Chicago
Bears over the Houston Oil
ers; Joe Rutgons of Illinois,
Washington Redskins over
Oakland: Bob Gaiters of Now
Mexico State, New York Gi
ants over Denver; and Tom
my Mason of Ttilane, whose
signing has not been an
nounced yet but Is known to
have chosen the new Minne
sota Vikings over Boston,
Ken Rice of Auburn has
eligibility remaining in anoth
er sport and thus cannot turn
pro until June. Pro football
men feel he will join the Buf
falo Bills rather than the St.
Louis Cards.
Other No. 1 . NFL draft
choices already signed are:
Herb Adderley of Michigan
State, Green Bay Packers:
Tom Matte, Ohio State, Balti
more Colts; Bob Lilly, Texas
Christian, Dallas Cowboys;
Bob Respino, Mississippi
Cleveland Browns; and Myron

Not Dying
By HAL WOOD
Oakland, Calif. - IUPD - The.
American Football league
may have been wounded in
the pockctbook during its in
augural season. But it's not
about to die.
This is the strong belief of
the owners and of president
Joe Foss.
"We're here to stay," said
Foss when he visited this city
to help reorganize the Oak
land franchise. "If the Nation
al league thought for one
moment it could stomp on us
they would do it right now.
They are afraid to admit we
are even breathing - or exist.
Over-Stuffed
Some of the National league
die-hards claim that the mov
ing of the Los Angeles Charg
ers franchise to San Diego Is
the first step in the demise of
the new loop.
"But that's not the way we
feel here," said a spokesman
for the Oakland team, which
still will be playing all its
home games in Candlestick
Park in San Francisco.
"We feel that Los Angeles
is over-stuffed with sports.
And we believe that the club
will do well in San Diego."
To back up his claim, he
pointed out that the chamber
of commerce and others be
hind the move to San Diego
already had received about
24,000 applications for season
tickets. The team averaged
less than 15,000 per game in
Los Angeles.

Klamath Falls - Southern
Oregon college's Red Raiders
staged a stirring second half
comeback after an ice-coia
opening half, but it wasn't
enough as the Raiders drop
ped a 58-47 decision to arch
rival Oregon Tech here Tues
day night in the Oregon Col
legiate conference. -
Shooting at a frigid .167
pace the initial period, on a
mere five shots good in 30 at
tempts, the Ashlanders could
n't, cope with the Owls-
springy - legged Bob Petersen
and were down by a lop-sided
36-15 count at halftime.
But the second stanza was
a different story for the Red
men as they outscored the
Techmen, 32-22. They found
the basket with more consist
ency, and held their own in
the rebounding departments,
despite the sparkling board
clearing by Petersen and 6-6
teammate "Sweet" Sammy
Smith.
Petersen, two-time All-Stater
at Klamath Falls used his
tremendous spring under the
boards to tally 22 points in the
first period, including four
tipins and 10 of 13 attempts at
the free throw line. The 6-4
Owl ace finished the night
with 25 big points and 17 re
bounds. .'.
His 25-point performance,
however, was matched by
Southern Oregon's Gqrdy Car
rigan who returned to action
after a week's layoff with a
sprained ankle and led his
team in their impressive sec
ond half surge.
14 In 11 Minutes
Getting 19 of his total in the
second canto, Carrigan started
his club on the comeback
trail, and, at one ;ll-minute
stretch, canned 14 points in a
row.
Don Vannice hit a jump
shot and free throw and big
John Payne, who picked up
four personal fouls in the first
seven minutes of the contest
and' fouled out of the heated
battle with14:02 left on the
second half clock, hit two suc
cessive gift trys to bring the
county to 40-20 in the first
five minutes of the half.
line. In that fatal 20 minutes,
the Owls hit 14 of 23 trys from
the charity stripe as 13 fouls
were whistled against the
Raiders.
Southern Oregon finished
up with a .314 shooting mark
of 17 of 54 shots attempted.
Oregon Tech registered a .372
on 19 of 51. Rebounds favored
OTI by a 45-23 difefrence. '
Smith, who collected 17 re
bounds to rank ahead of Peter
sen's 11, contributed 14 points
to the winning Owl cause.

Carrigan took off on his

drilling three straight jump

more charity trys, and finally
a driving layup and free

In the disastrous first half,
