The fast-breaking Wildkittens, who trailed 9-14 after the open fng period, fairly sizzled in the second session, witn bod tuck er, Gene Forman, Bob Lamb, Bob Henjun and Bob Rinker firing in the goals, they netted 14 field shots in 17 attempts. After romping to their 15-mark-cr spread they settled for a 12 Doint 42-30 difference at the half. Lamb's long pusher as the second half got into swing brought a brief 14-point margin. From there the Tornadoes whit tled down the difference to 57-51. Third quarter score favored Lin field 61-53. Then Bill Enyart's drive shot for Medford and Hal Holman's lengthy push made it just four points apart at 61-57. But, Medford could not get clos er.

During this flurry, Larry Stockman's free shot was the only point for Medford. Lamb, a 1963 all-stater for Tigard, was the big gun of the evening. He hemped 12 field goals on a variety of shots and put in six of nine free shots for 30 points. Tall and hefty Forman was next high with 16 markers. Tucker had 11. Bruce Bcrtrand, Mcdford's tall sophomore of great promise, headed his team with 13 points. Big, beefy and rugged Enyart, with seven free points on seven shots, scored 11 counters.

The Wildkittens fired .492 on 32 of 65 for the game to Mcd ford's 21 of 67 for .313. Rebound ing was nearly even with a 47-43 edge for the McMinnville team. Bcrtrand headed all board clearers with 14 snares and En yard had eight. For Linfield Ron Bake nabbed the ball !3 times and Henjun had nine re trieves. It's the wise purpose of early season games to prepare for conference play ahead. Natural ly, Medford mentor Frank Roe landt followed that objective Saturday. He sent a flood of players from the bench into the contest in the second quarter. A combination of Tornadoes might have been used who could have slowed the Linfield blazing surge. And, the outcome of the game might have, at least, been closer. Takes Lead at 19-18 Linfield went in front for keeps 2'4 minutes Into t h e second quarter on a pair of free shots by Lamb which made the score 19-18. Mike Barnes had tabulated off the tipoff to give Medford 16-9 advantage as the second quarter started. Tucker scored on a driver and Vowell answered with a long range goal for 18-11 Tucker contributed a three-point play. Forman came through with a jumper and, after a free toss by Forman the score was 18-17.

The 'Kittens held the Whirlwind off with five markers each by Lamb and Forman, four by Dur ham, three by Henjun and two by Tucker. Both clubs were cool in the first period. The Tornado made only four of 21 field goal tries and Linfield four of 16. Mcd ford's margin at the quarter end was on six free shots to one. The Hurricane had just six for 21 in the second quarter.

Oakland Raiders Surprise San Diego Chargers 41-27 By GARY KALE DPI Sports Writer The American Football League has finally come of age with the best-balanced two-division race in the brief history of the circuit. In pivotal games among the leaders, the Boston Patriots capitalized on Oiler miscues to win 46-28, Sunday and go a game up on Houston in the Eastern Division. The once thought of wide open Western Division scram ble tightened to a near-breakig point as the Oakland Raiders surprised San Diego, 41-27, and moved to within a game of the leading Chargers. Buffalo went into a second place tie with Houston by wal loping New York, 45-14, and Kansas City trampled Denver, 52-21, in other Sunday encoun ters. Boston may have ended Hous ton's three-year domination of the Eastern Division as it turned two fumbles and an in tercepted pass into touchdowns. The Pats now need a victory over Kansas City next Saturday to sew up their first conference championship. Pile Up Lead Fumbles by Oiler rookie Bill Tobin in the first half enabled the boys from Beantown to pile up enough margin to salt away the game. Nick Buoniconti ran seven yards for a score on To bin's first bobble and Boston went 63 yards on two plays aft er his second fumble. Quarter backs Babe Parilli and Tom Yewcic took turns in tossing touchdown passes for Boston in the second period. George Blanda set a league passing record when he com pleted 12 consecutive passes during the first half. His second half replacement, Jack Lee, tossed for one Houston TD, but had another pass intercepted by Bob Suci, who ran the theft back 52 yards for a score. Oakland, tired of playing pat sy to San Diego, cracked a 10 game losing streak to the Chargers as Art Powell and Cotton Davidson led a 31 point fourth quarter raider rally. Powell scored his second and third touchdowns of the game during the torrid final period as he latched on to Davidson touchdown passes of 10 and 40 yards. Davidson tallied ' from the nine on a fake pass play. LEASING..

Buffalo retained its title chances as fullback Cookie Gil christ set a league game rush ing record of 243 yards and scored five touchdowns against New York to tie a record that Phoenix Holds Off Glide's Wildcats PHOENIX - Phoenix High met the challenge of a fourth quarter press and chalked up its second basketball victory of the week end Saturday night. The Pirates, holding the lead from the late second quarter on, shaded the Glide Wildcats 42-41. Phoenix team defense, which left something lo be desired against Suthcrlin on Friday, began to jell in the Saturday game. Period margins were 12-8, 21 20 and 32-25. The Pirates grab bed the lead for good at 16-14 on a jump shot by John Barker. Phoenix was never behind after going in front 6-5 on a Ron Williams jumper. The score was tied twice after that at 12 and 14-each. The Buccaneers headed by just 40-39 with 50 seconds left to play. Jim Consbruck free tosses made it 42-39 five sec onds later. Gary Mayficld put in a final goal for Glide with 20 seconds on the clock. Rust Has 14 Jack Rust was high scorer with 14 points for Glide and John DeGroot had 11. John Barker had 11 points for Phoe nix and Jon Granby nine. Phoenix ran into trouble try ing to keep continuity in its fourth quarter play as the Wild cats utilized their press. The 'Cat's cut the margin to two points at 35-32 on a couple of free heaves by Rust and field baskets by DeGroot, Mike Rad cliffe and Frank Jones.

It was the first K.C. victory since Oct. 6 and was featured by three blocked Denver punts and two pass Interceptions. meantime, Williams had gained a free point and Granby a goal for Phoenix. Foul tosses by Consbruck made it 37-33 but Jones got a pair of gifters for the 'Cats, Lex Hamilton scored a free shot and field goal for Phoenix and Wade Sumptcr a jump and DeGroot a hook for the Wildcats and the score was 40-39. The third quarter 32-25 was the games widest margin. Phoenix defense pleased coach Eldon Durham. He felt the Bucs did a good job sagging back and helping Danny Bee son and Granby in holding Glide big man, Rust, to just 14 points. Glide used both zone and man-toman defense and Dur ham said he felt that the Pi rates did not move enough on of fense and were not hitting on the shots they had inside the key. The coach was pleased with the 16 points collected by Granhy and Ken Hawkins as they rested Beeson and Hamil ton. The Pirates have a return game at Glide this Friday. Prac tices this week will be geared to step up Phoenix offense and improve offensive rebounding. Dale Sauer was to be with the squad today.
