1KIUAY. San Diego Can Cinch West Toga By United Press International The San Diego Chargers and Houston Oilers go stumping for decision titles Sunday in pivotal American t o o t b a 1 1 League games. San Diego, boasling a 9-2 rec ord that is the best in over-all AFL warfare, can clinch its third Western Division crown in four years with a win over the Raiders (7-4) in Oakland. Oakland has the longest win streak of the season five while San Diego is unbeaten in its last four starts. A sellout throng of 20.500 will fill Frank Youell Field for the rematch. Tougher Houston's task is much tough er. The Oilers tangle with the revived Boston Patriots in a showdown for the Eastern Divi sion sweepstakes that has be come an annual Texas donny- brook for the past three years in Jeppeson Stadium. A Boston victory would give ;the Pats a 7-5-1 mark and a lever toward ending Houston's three-year reign in the t-ast. The Oilers (now B-5) dashed Boston's title aspirations about this time last year and in 1961. In other games, the New York Jets (5-5-1) try to stay in Eastern contention by beating the last-place Bills (5-li-l) in Buffalo, and Kansas City's de tending champion Chiefs (2-7-2) entertain the Denver Broncos (2-8-1) in a clash of Western also-rans.

It was j Princeton, which began eall . ino its teams "Tigers" in the 1 1880s . '. .

Likely Starters Medford mentor Frank Roe landt listed Mike Barnes, Larry Vowell, Bruce Bertrand and Larry Stockman as likely start ers with the fifth man to be picked from among Hal Hol man, Bill Houston and Rich Knight. The coach reported that drills have been aimed at "getting ready for a game." More fun damentals will be stressed after the Tornadoes have been under fire. What happens in games will determine practices. "It will be a matter of lime to see what we need," Roelandt said. "We need a few games under our belts to know what to work on." He added that "you always need fundamentals" but "it will take a game or two to see what we need most." Barnes, Vowell and Houston arc the only returnees from last season's Medford varsity.

The Kittens also have Mark Mulder, 6-4, from Tillamook. Cole is said to have good coordination and to be a tough rcboundcr.

Cole and Mulder arc probable slarlcrs along with Mike Alley, ex-berra; Mick Hoffman, 6-1, ex- Sandy, and Phil Stevenson, ex-Madras. Alley and Stevenson are the sophomores, on the squad..

He picked up the land tract in the capital 10 years ago with "no money down." He tossed $5.5 million, plus a few odd thousands, on the ta ble Thursday to outbid three other buyers for the National Football League team and now needs the approval of Commis sioner Pete Rozelle and 12 ol the other 13 franchise holders to slop out as a grid magnate.

His psychological warfare campaign against Wayne Har din and Navy has been a mas terpiece, but whether it can change the expected oulcome is the question some 100,000 fans will be awaiting al kickoff time. The Middies have been in stalled as It-point favorites and many of the experts are call ing the current squad one of the best in the Naval Acad emy's history. Navy has an 8-1 record and All-America quarterback, Ro ger Staubach. Which all leads back to the psychological war fare. Hardin, the Middie coach, is proud of his team's accomplish ments and is not afraid to say so publicly. The trouble is, Dietzel has a way of getting these comments to his learn. Favorite Quote His favorite quote is one he found after last year's Army Navy game. He has kept it on his desk since then. It reads: "The turning point of the game came when we showed up." "That quote," Dietzel said with a wry smile, "was attrib uted to Wayne Hardin." Dietzel then reached into his pocket and begun reading other clip pings, jusl as strong. "Those boys can nad," he said, "they know what has been said about them by the ., i ,, snipmen. "We have a lot of respect for the Navy team," he said, "but this is a great challenge.

Coach George Keil has what he terms "an awfully young ball club." But, he points to a taller and heftier squad than he had last year. And, his Bruins have a little more speed. How Ashland will fare, he stated, depends on how much experience his players get in pre-conference games. They've got to improve in shooting, he remarked. The first tests for the Grizzlies come this week end. Ashland plays at Redding, Calif., against Shasta High both on Friday and Saturday nights. Both varsity and junior varsity contention will be seen and Keil reported that 15 players will make the trip. Among them are three seniors, five juniors and seven sophomores. Grudge Tiff Slated on Mat Card A revenge match has been signed to headline the all-star professional wrestling card at Medford armory next Thursday night, Dec. 12. Luther Lindsey, the burly Negro mat ace, will team with Nick Kozak, flashy airplane spin artist, to take on Soldat Gorky and Dirty Don Duffy in the tag team main event. Lindsey and Kozak requested the match as an aftermath of the bout here a week ago when Gorky and Duffy attacked Lindsey, who in his role as referee had awarded a match to Haystack Calhoun and Abe Jacobs. Gorky and Duffy thought the verdict was wrong and they attacked Lindsey, rip ping his shirt from his body and pummelling him around the ring. Matchmaker Elton Owen came into the ring to help Lindsey and when he was un able to stop the irate pair. Owen called on Kozak and wrestler Irish Paddy Barrett for help. The three finally restored order and police escorted Gorky and Duffy from the ring. Kozak is particularly angry over the unwarranted attack on Lindsey because Lindsey had just returned to the wrestling ring after being sidelined for several weeks by a brain con cussion suffered in an auto mobile accident. Two more matches, yet to be signed, will complete the card.
