SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1955 IIERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Bonus ESule Offers For Minor Leagues' Meet By EARL WRIGHT United Treu Sports Writer If five National Football League teams the Detroit Lions, Baltl more Colts, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washing ton Redskins win' Sunday, the di vision races will be locked lighter than n miser's list. In that event there would be a four-way tie for first place in the Western Division and a two-way tie for the Eastern lead. The Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears, Colts and Packers would be lied for the Western lead with 5-4 records, while the Cleveland Browns and Redskins would be tied for 'the Eastern lead with 6-3 marks. . , , To produce such sardine pack ing In the Western scramble, the Lions (2-6) must whip the Bears (5-3), the Colts (4-4) must de feat the Rams (5-3), and the Pack ers (4-4) must down the Ban Fran cisco Forty-Nlners (3-5) The Bears are favored by 13 points to boost the league's long est current winning streak to six at Detroit. The Rams, tied with the Bears for the lead, are six- point choices at Baltimore. The Packers, tied with the Colts for second, are slim, one point favor. lies against the Forty-Nlners at MIlwauKee. flHJST WIN To deadlock the Eastern race, the Steelers (4-4) must defeat the champion Browns (6-2) at Cleve- land and the Redskins (5-3) must defeat the Cardinals (3-4-1) at Chi cago. The Browns, who lead the hecond-plp.ee Redskins by a game, are 11-point favorites. The Cardi nals are one-point favorites. The Philadelphia Eagles (3-4-1) visit the New York Giants (3-5) in the other game. The Eagles are la vorecl rjy 1 Vi points. The last-place Lions, who won the Western title for the past three years, can help decide their suc cessor because two of their remain ing gams are with the rampaging Bears. But the Bears, currently the league's hottest team, are In good .nape for Sunday's Brlggs Sta dium tussle while halfback Bob Hornschemeyer and end Dome Dibble of the Lions are out with injuries. End Bob Boyd, one of the Rams' top pass-catchers, missed last Sun day's clash with the Bears and Jayhawks Eulogize Hoop Star LAWRENCE, Kan. W "There's no question about it he's the greatest basketball player alive to day." Dr. Forrest C. Allen, veteran Un iversity of Kansas basketball coach , didn't hesitate last night in apply ing mat tag to Wilt "The Stilt' Chamberlain. And the 7-foot Chamberlain is only a freshman. Allen and 14,000 others watched in amazement as the big but graceful Negro poured in 42 points in leading the Kansas fresh men to an 81-71 victory over the Jayhawk varsity. Allen, starting his 39th season at Kansas and who celebrated his 70th birthday yesterday, seldom Is at a loss for words when it comes to talking about his favorite sport. But he had a hard time finding the superlatives to describe Cham berlain. Chamberlain, who was "cold" the first few minutes, dropped In 16 of 35 field goal attempts and hit 10 free throws. He came within two points of the all-time Kansas Individual single-game scoring rec ord held Jointly by Clyde Love lette, now with the professional Minneapolis Lakers, and B. H. Born. He grabbed 18 defensive re bounds and six under bis own basket. Chamberlain was a little disap pointed with his performance ear ly in the game. "It wasn't butter flies," he said. "Heck, I've played lots of basketball. I Just couldn't hit." Allen concedes Chamberlain still has a few rough edges but is quick to learn. Wilt, who scored 2,252 points In three years for Over brook High School in Philadelphia, literally slams the ball down through the nets when he goes up for a shot under the basket. or the fifth straight year the annual Intercollegiate Rowing Assn. regatta will be held on Onon dnga Lake, Syracuse.

Quar terback Bob Scholoredt sneaked one yard for the Gresham score. Gresham threatened four times In the second half but the Democrats never got out of their territory. . Rain fell steadily at Eugene as defending A-2 champion Vale over powered Junction City. Tater Smith opened the Vale scoring in the first quarter when he plunged over from one yard out to climax a 51-yard drive. In the second per iod Gene Bates passed to Darald Wsift in a 22-yard touchdown play that clinched the victory. One of many fumbles at Dallas helped the Dragons beat Tilla mook.

Brooklyn is behind a movement to retain the present rule on bonus players, numeiy that any player paid over $4,000 to sign must be retained on the big league club's roster,. Detroit, on the other hand, wants to do away witn the bonus restrictions entirely. Charlie Diessen. manager of the Washington Scnutors, must be credited with what seems to be the most logical suggestion. H theory is that bonus players should be charged against the major league roster, but be allowed to play in the minors at the same time to gain necessary experience. Prob ably too sensible for baseball's big wigs to acknowledte.
