Chicago Area Fans To Travel To Find Television Sets To View Bear-Packers Grid Tiff Football League's Western Dl- CHICAGO (UPI) - Thorp won't be any turnstile count, but a considerable number of nU! . n , uuuago Bears ana ureen Bay Packers fans will be taking in their Sunday struggle without a ticket for a football game. Instead they'll be buying rail road tickets, tollroad tickets, motel and hotel receipts and bar bills. The almost 50,000 tickets for the game, between the two teams leading the National Baltimore Meted Fine Of $5,000 BALTIMORE (UPI) The owners of the Baltimore Bul lets readily admitted today that haste makes waste. It also costs money. The Bullets were fined $5,000 Wednesday by the Board of Governors of the National Bas ketball Association for failing to ask league permission to move their franchise from Chicago at the end of the 1962-63 season. It was the largest fine ever assessed by the NBA, and it was paid immediately by Mun ya Goldman, executive vice president of the Bullets, to league President Walter Ken nedy. Goldman conceded that the fine was "fair," and then pro ceeded to explain why. Anxious to Move "Our transfer to Baltimore was in violation of an agree ment with the NBA," he said in a prepared statement. "It called for us to stay in Chica go a minimum of three years when the new franchise was is sued (prior to the 1961-62 sea son). "We were so anxious to make the move to Baltimore that we made the lease and contractual agreements. . .before we could get the final approval of the NBA Board of Governors for the transfer of the Chicago franchise." The announcement of the fine was made in New York by Kennedy following a meeting of the Board of Governors. The Bullets originally were fined $25,000 but it was reduced to $5,000 following a review re quested by Goldman. During its two seasons in Chi cago, the club did poorly, both at the gate and in the stand ings, winning only 25 of 80 games last season. The switch to Baltimore hasn't worked any miracles. The Bullets remain at the bottom of the NBA's West ern Division with a 3-7 record. vision, were sold out in .lulv. and even the scalpers, with prices approaching the astro nomical, aren't overly supplied. Hence fans of all types are making their own plans to take in the spectacle via television. involving the problem of get ting there, finding a video screen, and getting back. No Way To Count Two railroads, the Santa Fe and the Milwaukee, are run ning special trains to TV terri tory, and there's no way to count the people who'll ride a tollway to find a TV set. The Santa Fe will haul its passengers to Galesburg, 111., where they will be able to get the game from a Peoria TV station in a hotel. The Milwau kee will run to Lake Geneva, Wis., where they can watch video from Milwaukee or Madi son, Wis., in a hotel. The northwest tollwav runs from Chicago to Rockford, 111., where numerous motels and ho tels offer video facilities, and a Rockford station to put the game on the TV screen. The Indiana tollroad runs to South Bend, where one motel is offering 175 rooms, eauinned with TV, on a first come-first serve basis to anvone who shows up. A South Bend TV station handles the game1. Other outlets in the Midwest will make the game available in tnousands ot bars and mo tels, and friends in the area might expect an influx of guests. Cosmo lacavaiii, Terry Isaacson Run One-Two in Scoring NEW YORK (UPI) - Cosmo Iacavazzi of Princeton and Ter ry Isaacson of Air Force today are running 1-2 in the college football scoring race. The NCAA Service Bureau statistics show Iacavazzi lead Ine the race for the second straight week with a 10-point bulge over the Air Force quar terback. While the Princeton fullback scored the Tigers' only touch down against Harvard, Isaac son raced into second place with a 20-point production against UCLA. Iacavazzi has 72 ooints compared to Isaac son's 62 points. They both have two games remaining. In the pass-catching depart ment. Lawrence Elkins of Bay- lor increased his lead to 17 with 56 completions thus far this season. Elkins caught 12 against strong Texas team and needs iust 15 more to set a new rec ord for receptions with three games remaining. Elkins also leads the nation with seven touchdown receptions. John Simmons is second with 39 completions and Stan Crisson of Duke is running third with 37. Halas Says Bears Need Best Game CHICAGO (UPI) -Georse Halas view of his Chicago Bears game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday was bleak today from every angle except the final result. We can win," he said, "but the odds are against us. "We must play our best game of the season, and much better than we did in our first game with them, when we played our best game previously this year. We've got to have an even greater effort Sunday." The Packers and Bears share first place in the Western Divi sion of the National Football League, each with an 8-1 rec ord, but the Packers have an eight-game winning streak fol lowing their 10-3 defeat by the Bears m the season opener. Something New "They're a better ball club than they were at the beginning of the season, Halas said "We've seen films of their last two ball games, but I expect tnem to come up with some' thing new. and I don t know what it will be." Halas shunned comment on whether the Bears were a bet ter team now than for their first meeting with Green Bay but he said that with Ronnie Bull, Willie Galimore and Char lie Bivins all ready for action at the running halfback spot, the Bears might have some oppor tunities for surprise too. "Let's not build up our great strength," he said. "The Pack ers have the edge on past per formance. They've won two straight championships. They've beaten us five of the last six games. That's an indication of their over-all strangth. "And psychologically, they'll be primed emotionally for their best performance of the season because they want to prove fhat our beating them the first time was a mistake."

(UPI) -The Washington State Cougars have some surprises (or Stan ford this Saturday. Coach Jim Sutherland held closed sessions Wednesday and said his men meet the Indians as underdogs but will have a surprise party roa-y for them. Coach Wilt Decides To Feed Wilt By United Press International Wilt Chamberlain, thrust un expectedly into the role of coach, viewed the San Francis co Warriors' state of affairs and made a firm decision. The Warriors trailed. 29-19. at the end of the first period, Coach Alex Hannum was ban ished to the dressing room and the Cincinnati Royals' Jerry Lucas and Oscar Robertson were running wild. Coach Chamberlain decided that the Warriors' best bet was to feed the ball to nlaver Cham berlain. With Coach Wilt directine signals, player Wilt went on to score 19 points in t h e second period, 13 in the third and 14 in the fourth for a game-total ot 49 Wednesday night that lift ed the Warriors to a 98-92 vic tory. It was a complete turn about from Wilt's early games this season during which he was acted with more emphasis on play-making than in his four previous seasons in the Nation al Basketball Association. Bread and Butter I told 'em whhat I thought would go," said the 7-foot, 1 inch Chamberlain after the game. "And I got their coop eration. Playmaker Guy Rodgers said It more succinctly: "We knew where our bread and butter was and that's where we went." Rodgers' steal and layup gave the Warriors a 91-90 lead with 4:28 left and then Cham berlain's rebounding kept them ahead the rest of the way. Rob ertson wound up as the Roy als' high scorer with 28 points. The Boston Celtics deleated the Los Aneeles Lakers, 114-110, and the New York Knickerbock ers beat the St. Louis Hawks, 106-102. in a double-header that drew 18.137 to New York's Mad ison Square Garden. The crowd was the largest Garden basket ball crowd since Nov. 11, 1960. Tom Heinsohn scored 31 pfsints and Sam Jones had 16 for the Celtics, who scored their 10th win in 11 games, while Jerry West had 35 for the Lak ers. Billy McGill, acquired two weeks ago from the Baltimore Bullets, scored 28 points to lead the Knicks, who held Bob Pet tit to a 4-for-21 shooting night and only 13 points. Lewis and Clark One Of Six in Running PORTLAND (UPI) - Lewis and Clark is one of six teams in contention for three remain ing berths in the National Asso ciation of Intercollegiate Athle tics football playoffs, the NAIA's top official said Wednesday. Al Duer. executive secretary- treasurer, said at Kansas City, Mo., that the teams will be selected Nov. 24. The NAIA named St. John's of Minnesota to one of the berths Tuesday.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1963 Phoenix To Take On Douglas High In Ashland in A-2 Playoff Fray PHOENIX - Annual football conflict between the Rogue and umpqua Valley League standard-bearers is set for Friday night. This year the game has greater meaning. Phoenix High School s Pirates, ranked No. 1 in final prep polls of the fall, carry on their cam paign to add authority to unof ficial recognition by advancing against the Douglas Trojans. ine game will be contested at the Southern Oregon College tieid in Ashland with kickoff billed for 8 p.m. In past seasons the battle be tween the representatives of these two circuits has been for district laurels. This time Phoe nix of the Rogue and Douglas of the Umpqua are full-fledged district titleholders. Their fracas is an Oregon A-2 quarterfinal. Winner will move o.i to a semi final against eithv Vale or Woodburn High. Pirates Favored The game originally set for the Phoenix field which is in poor shape from action there this season. Scheduling on the fine Fuller Field grass at Ash land will make for better foot ing and a better game although the field may be soggy, sloppy wet. Phoenix will be favored on the strength of its top ranking in the polls, its fine season record. its better success against a com mon adversary and its depth of talent. Here is the prediction of Leo Davis, writing for the Portland Oregonian: 'Phoenix over Douglas: The Pirates have too much of every- tning. Although Jack Wood ward's varsity spent most of the season on the bench, Phoe nix yielded only six points to nine opponents and scored al most at will. Douglas will dis pute the skills of Jon Granby, Hon Williams, Dave Westfall MAKES PIRATES GO Ron Williams, above, Phoenix High quarterback, is called a "com plete" football player by his coach, Jack Woodward. "He's what makes us go," the mentor said. Williams, 175, will be seen in action when the Pirates op pose Douglas at Ashland Friday night in a state A-2 quarterfinal. and Jim Consbruck but in vain." Too Many Horses Stated Bill Mulflur in the Ore gon Journal: "Pirates have too many horses for Trojans." Phoenix was unbeaten and un tied in its nine games and has led the grid polls through the season. Final tabulations have accorded it the unofficial A-2 diadem. Douglas is 8-1, losing only to Myrtle Point 18-20. The Trojans were rated 10th in the final rankings. In their only action against a common rival, Phoenix laced Coquille 28-0 after Douglas had beaten the Devils 14-12. Both tangles were early in the sea son. Douglas will invade the Rogue Valley with a T offensive using slot backs and flankers either right or left. Phoenix operates with versatility with either sin gle wing or T offense. Stress Defense The Trojans are looked upon as a good, tough football team which is well coached and has good size. Phoenix in drills this week has been stressing drills quite a bit. Pre-game work this after noon was slated in the final practice. Yesterday's workout included tackling and blocking drills, dummy defensive work, a little full-speed defensive drill and work on punt protec tion ana covering kicks. Fullback Jon Granby, Wood ward reported is still not up to par Decause ol ailing ankles. He'll probably start at end on defense with Dennis Grennan drawing the offensive full assignment. Douglas has defeated Co quille 14-12, Gold Beach 14-7. Suthcrlin 26-7, Glide 28-14, Glen dale 44-7, Riddle 19-6, Myrtle creek 28-6 and Bandon 20-12. The Trojans lost to Myrtle roim 2U-1H. Phoenix Record Phoenix has subdued Serra Clowns Have Years Of Laugh Experience For 28 years the Harlem Clowns have been criss-crossing the country to bring equal parts of top-flight basketball and side - splitting comedy to the nation's sports fans. It's the Clowns' tradition to stage a better - than - ever show and fans are in for a real treat when the merry madcaps of the court play the John Wheeler Loggers at Hedrick Junior High gym in Medford on Tuesday night, Nov. 19. Game time is 8 o'clock. Now a national institution, the Clowns gained thoir reputation on more than a quarter of a century of traveling around the country, and in Canada, Mexi co, and the Hawaiian Islands, playing a seven games per week schedule for five months of the year. Great Demands They were originated by Al (Runt) Pullins, one of the ereats of comic basketball. Pullins was a member of the original Harlem Globetrotters team in the late 1920s. He broke with Trotter boss Abe Saperstein in 1934 and 'went on the road with his own now-tamous Clowns. Demands for appearances have become so great that Pul lins has formed two teams a western unit and an eastern unit.The western group played the Loggers at Eagle Point last month. It is the eastern unit. on its way to their east coast bookings, which will go against the Loggers here. Reserved and general admis sion tickets are available at Lamport's Sporting Goods store or at Bud's Tire Exchange.
