MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MLDFORD, OREGON THURSDAY. JANUARY 31, 1962 Rogue League Clubs Start Second Round Second time around In bas ketball gets under way tn the Rogue league on Friday and the program of eight games this week end could go a long way toward determining who the eventual champion will lie. No team is completely out of the race as yet but unbeat en pace setter Henley high, Eagle Point, Lakeview and Illinois Valley are the four currently in serious conten tion. An opportunity knocks for each. Eagle Point, the defending champion and once defeated in 1963 league, goes to twice marred and third spot Lake view on Friday and to Henley on Saturday. Henley and Lakeview will be host to Rogue River on opposite nights. Illinois Valley, riding fourth, entertains Sacred Heart at Cave Junction on Friday and goes to Phoenix on Saturday. . Phoenix will oppose St. Mary's in Medfprd on Friday and St. Mary's will face Sa cred Heart at Klamath Falls on Saturday to round out the week end. Haven't Given Up Week end meetings will be the second except for the IV Sacred Heart go. That first round tilt was put off until the end of the season. . . While pretty well back in Jhe standings, the second divi sion teams haven't all given up hope. Rogue River may have new fire after two wins in the loop last week end, their first of 1963 in the cir cuit. At Phoenix, Coacli Eldon Durham had this to say, "Ono of these days we're going to surprise somebody. I've been saying that all year and one of these days we're going to." He added that, "The kids are really working hard for this week end. I've been .real pleased with them." And, he said further, "We've sure come and have had some good practices." The Pirates have been drilling to get secondary movement on offense and have been working against OSU Faces Seattle Oregon State University, Corvallis - Oregon State and Seattle U, intense rivals last year and right back in the same situation again this winter, collide here Friday night in what could be one of the most thrilling games of the year. The Beavers tripped t h e Chiefs in double overtime last season to win the Pacific Northwest NCAA crown and a bid to the regionals at Pro vo. They had split in two earlier games. Seattle gained a partial measure of revenge in the opening game this sea son at Seattle with a 60-58 victory. Oregon State bombed Wash ington, 65-48, last week end to stretch its season record to 11-4. Coach Slats Gill, well pleased with that win, ac knowledged that it will be an entirely different situation preparing for Seattle than it was for Washington. "Seattle has great outside strength as well as inside," Gill pointed out, "and prob ably has as good personnel as any team we have faced yet this season." The Chiefs have lost only three games thus far.

Harley Nel son's Zip won the puppy stake. Thirty nine dogs were en tered in the military slough area of the game commission management area.

Dickinson Spot Best Palm Springs, Lain, -uct-They changed partners and courses today and started into the second round of the $50,000 Palm Springs golf classic a tournament some times called the "IBM Open." The scoreboard showed that Harold Kneece, a little man from Aiken, S.C., and Gard ner Dickinson, a string-bean from Tequesta, Fla., teed off leading the field with 66s. But there was a joker In the scores. Dickinson fash ioned his fine six-under-par effort at the tough Eldorado course and moves to the "easy" Indian Wells layout today. Kneece, who stands only 5-feet-7, played Indian Wells Wednesday and is stuck with the long Tamarisk layout to day. So Dickinson appeared to be in the driver's seat. Right on the heels of the leaders came South Africa's Gary Player, admittedly play ing the finest golf of his bril liant career, and unheralded Bob Shave of Willoughby, Ohio. They each had 67, at Indian Wells and move to Tamarisk today.

Miles Sparks Seattle Chiefs Untied Press International Two of the West's most bril liant basketball stars, Eddie Miles and Steve Gray, clashed Wednesday night at Seattle and Miles grabbed most of the honors. Miles hit 30 points to lead his Seattle Chieftains past St. Mary's 95-63.

MEDFOWVTRiBUNB NFL Postpones Decision On League's 1925 Title Miami Beach - IUPD - The National Football league wound up its winter meetings here Wednesday with ap proval of a minor rule change but postponement until spring of a decision on the 1925 NFL championship. The NFL club owners were to meet briefly today for routine consideration of pre season exhibition schedules that will be announced later by the individual clubs. The owners had one notable exhibition game before them, a doubleheader proposed for Aug. 17 in Cleveland that would match the Detroit Lions and the New York Giants, and the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts. The owners announced through league Commissioner Pete Rozelle Wednesday that the league would accept seal ed bids prior to its rpnng meeting in May for television rights for next season. To Help Punters A two-year contract ended with the NFL championship game last season. The only rule change ap proved by the owners allows the ball to be moved to the sideline in bound markers from In front of the goal posts when it is inside the 15 yard line, a move to help punters backed up to the goal. Previously, the ball could be moved away from the goal only inside the 10-yard line. Left up in the air by the NFL was a decision on a re quest by Pottsville, Pa., that its famous maroons be given back the 1925 NFL champion ship in the record books. The title was taken away after the Maroons won the championship game and then played against Notre Dame's four horsemen in Philadel phia, bringing a protest from the Frankford Yellowjackets, the Philadelphia NFL team, that this first pro-college all star game violated territorial rights. This was the ground for taking away the champion ship and awarding it to the second-place Chicago Cardinals.
