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.

w.is a college coach, and

Here's a real football

a game between Southern

which one player scored all
the points m the game FOR
BOTH TEAMS' . . He was
Byron Hamcs of Washing
Ion, and here's how he did
it ... He scored a touch
down hir his own (cam, and
later in the game was tackled
behind his own goal line,
giving a safety lo his oppo
nents . . . The final score
of the contest was 6-2, so
he scored all the points!
Every football team in the
' country has a nickname, but
do you know which team
, had the first nickname in
football history3 . . It was
j Princeton, which began eall
. ino its teams "Tigers" in the

There'll be a chance for early

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. Ilol
man was a regular at Klamath

Tall Team
Linficld is bringing a whole
contingent of 6-foot and taller
cagcrs and Willamette will have
at least a couple of tall hoop
men on its squad.
Big man among the Willa
mette Bcarkiltens being brought
here by Coach Norm Chapman
(ex-Mcdtord High), is Roger
Cole, 6-7 and 21S pounds from
Clackamas High. The Kittens
also have Mark Mulder, 6-4,
from Tillamook. Cole is said to
have good coordination and to
be a tough rcboundcr. Mulder
reportedly has a bright future,
lie showed great progress in
varsity drills but needs the ex
perience of playing a lot of ball.
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.. Alley is termed a real
hustler who could turn Into a
topflight varsity guard. Steven-
i sun was one of the top scorers
for the Bearkittens last season.
When he gets his shooting eye

is tne Miners- younger son, Run.
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

snipmen.
"We have a lot of respect for
the Navy team," he said, "but
this is a great challenge. I nev

ed to lose. If you expect to lose
you usually do."

Ashland Grizzlies
Journey To Redding
ASHLAND Pre-season indi
cations are that the Ashland
High School basketball fortunes
are looking up from the door
mat status the Grizzlies have
had in the Southern Oregon Con
ference. 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.
