MEDFOU&jTMBUNl siPODmirs Minnesota Encouraging Big 10 Rose Bowl Pact ' Champaign, III. - (UPD-Min- nesota's athletic committee give the Big Ten encourage ment Saturday for resuming the Big Ten - West Coast Rose Bowl football pact but only for a concession. The University of Minneso ta athletic committee voted unanimously to ask its facul ty group to approve signing a new Rose Bowl contract. But it demanded that in re turn the Big Ten eliminate a conference rule permitting in dividual Big Ten schools to accept Rose Bowl invitations. If Minnesota's faculty group upholds the committee action, taken at the Big Ten meeting here, the conference will have to make a choice. No Coniract Big Ton teams now can play in the Rose Bowl if in vited by the Athletic Associa tion of Western Universities. But there no longer is a con tract for automatic annual competition of the Big Ten and West Coast champions. The Big Ten must act on the Minnesota proposals .be fore any contract negotiations can begin with the AAWU and should the West Coast re fuse to sign a contract, then Big Ten schools would be un able to accept invitations. It was uncertain whether the entire Minnesota faculty would approve the action of Its athletic committee. In the past the Gophers have oppos ed the Rose Bowl on each vote. And currently the Big Ten can play on invitation only because a 5-5 tie vole failed to put out of the rule book the permissive clause under which such Invitations could be accepted.

Saturday night's winner draws a bertli in the Slate A-2 tournament at Coos Bay. The two Friday losers, Sutherlin and Glide, met for consolation honors.

For the game Lakeview hit 9 of 13 foul tries while Sutherlin could connect on oly 4 of 16. Sutherlin attempted to rally in the late stages but their poor showing at the charity stripe coupled with erratic passing spelled defeat.

Bio Third Quarter In the second contest, the , Hornets from Henley, whose I only loss in regular loop play I was to Lakeview, started off fasl, hilling their first four field attempts. But, In the end, the difference proved to be a big third quarter offen sive and some free tosses in the waning minutes. The spunky Wildcats from Glide used a pressing defense all the way after Henley's early jump, and It almost paid off In the end. After the Hor nets tossed in 17 third quar ter counters to push their lead to 43-29, the Glide crew went to work and rallied for 10 straight points to close the gap to 46-39 with 3li minutes left. Bert Allbritlon, one of four Hornets In double figures, tossed in two from the foul line with 3:01 remaining and Bob Chapman put his team out of reach with two more from the charily stripe and a long push shot. Cellars, Charon Spark Glide's Darrell Cellers, high pointer for the game with 15 tallies combined with Lyly Charon to spark the Wildcats' third quarter rally, but Hen ley used ball-control strategy to hold on for the win.

Ashland junior varsity, Fullmer Retains NBA Title Las Vegas -HOT- Gene Full mer, NBA middle weight champion, kept his title last night with a rough, close quarter mauling attack that hammered out a unanimous 15-round decision over gallant old Sugar Ray Robinson in their fourth title fight. It was Fullmer's second victory over Robinson in their four bouts. Sugar Ray captured one and they fought to a draw in the other. Despite his 40 years, slen der Robinson of New York started off as if to give Full mer the licking of his life in the first two rounds. But brawly, bull shouldered Gene of West Jordan, Utah, weath ered those two sessions and came slamming back to stag ger Sugar Ray in the third round, knock him into the ropes and continue to batter him after a very weak ring bell sounded. Brute Force That was the beginning oi a triumph of brute force over aging ring guile. Fullmer's explosivcness saw Sugar Ray battered into near helpless ness at times and forced him to hold on until the referee could separate them. Each fighter weighed the same, 159-S4 pounds, for this nationally-televised bout from the handsomely-appointed Las Vegas convention hall. The crowd was unofficially esti mated at 7,000 and the gate at $130,000. The crowd gave Robinson a tremendous ovation after the dramatic 15th round in which he staggered Fullmer twice with a left hook to the head and then with a right to the same target. Gash Over Eye Although Fullmer won the unanimous decision, he was much the worse for wear at the finish. He was bleeding from a gash over his left eye, which was swollen almost completely shut. He also was bleeding from the nose and his right check was highly puffed. Fullmer stretched his un beaten streak to 15 straight bouts, including two draws. It was the 53rd victory in 59 professional bouts for the Utah-strong boy who has suf fered only four defeats. Robinson suffered his ninth defeat in 156 bouts, although his . performance left little doubt that the once great Sugar Man's fancy - dancing legs are somewhat gone. He was unable to muster enough stamina, despite the use of oxygen in his corner between rounds, to sustain a damaging attack against Gene. Cougars Win 1st State Tournament Berth by Whipping Chiloquin Klamath Falls Prospect high's scrapping, tenacious Cougars Friday night brought their school its first state state tourney berth in history. Surprised by a zone defense, but moving the ball well against the Panthers and working spiritedly as a team, the Cougars captured the District 5B basketball mantle by Gold Ray Fish Count WEEK ENDING MARCH 4 Silver salmon-None. -Winter run steelhead-89.

Prospect will open the state Class B tournament at Bend at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 9, against Powers from District 4. Powers bounced Camas Valley 59 to 32 on Fri day. 13 Lead Changes The Cougars were in front over the last couple of min utes of what was a back and forth battle but Chiloquin was in contention right up to the final buzzer. Lead in the fracas switched 13 times and the game had seven ties before Prospect went ahead to stay at 55 to 53 on a rebound bucket by Stan Payne. A pair of free throws by Bob Fitch, two by Craig Gardner and one by Cliff Chapman gave the Courgars 60 lo 53 gap with 46 seconds left.

Craig Gardner Has 24 Craig Gardner had 24 points for the night's high. Payne collected 15 and Terry Gard ner 11. For the Panthers Ed Case and Crume each had 14 and Frank Heglund and Jack son 13. The Cougars had a two pronged scoring threat with Craig Gardner firing from the base line and Payne gunning from the outside. Duane Payne, coach of the championship club, pointed out that the zone defense was the first that the Cougars had faced in a considerable time and that it gave them "a cer tain amount of difficulty." The mentor said that his club had hoped to employ a pres ing defense in the last quarter but that, because of four fouls each on Terry and Craig Gardner and Fitch, the plan had to be abandoned. Had the Cougars been able to press, "winning might have been easier," Payne remark ed. The Panthers had the re bounding advantage, putting the ball back up again and again in tries for points under the offensive board. But the Coucars were "fighting like crazy" and kept the Chiloquin scoring down. Three Foul Out Chiloquin lost three players on fouls in the final period, Heglund with five minutes plus to play and Jackson and Case in the closing seconds. Craig Gardner had nine points, Payne and Fitch each two and Cliff Chapman one for the Cougars in the crucial last quarter.

Prospect first caught Chilo quin in the game at 17-each and kept its upsurge for a 25 to 19 lead. Chiloquin came back with an eight point splurge to go on top at 27 to 25. It was see saw from there with the Cougars once in front 38 to 33. Scoring difference was at the free toss line.
