WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 1 B -iSm by CLKfTOH HkHHOH A V Times might be tough elsewhere, but not in the Na tional Football Leagua. And commissioner Bert Bell has the figures to prove it. For the seventh straight year, the NFL has set a new attendance record. For the first time in history, the NFL has surpassed the three million mark in paid attendance. According to figures released by Bell's office this week, the National Football League drew 3.186,130 fans through the gates this year in the 72 regularly scheduled games. There are a few thou sand complimentary tickets that will be deducted from this number, but still the total paid attendance is expected to be above three mil lion. That's a mighty big audience. The average attendance for the 72 league games was 44,210 fans. Last year, the NFL drew 2,863, 318, or an average of 39.861 per game. It's no wonder that pro football backers are claiming their sport as the number one nation al pastime above baseball. One can't compare football draw ls' power to baseball. Baseball is played on the average of five or six days a week by 16 different teams for 26 weeks. Football on the professional level is played once a week by 12 teams over a 12-week period. Pro football is a great sport. But there is only one national pastime baseball. Speaking of baseball, the Kansas City Athletics will be tough in the future, If thejf "rookie" team In the winter league is any sign of success. In this year's Winter Instruction al League, Kansas City edged the New York Yankees in the fin al standings. KC won 27 and lost 19, New York won 26 and lost 20. St. Louis' Cardinals were third and the Milwaukee Braves fourth. The instructional program is set up by the major league clubs for the benefit of young prospects. The top youngsters in this league will be the ones to draw the "big look" in spring training in a few months. o If Oregon Tech basketball coach Wally Palmberg can weather the storms through the first half of the Oregon Collegiate Conference basketball season, he may make it rough on the other four confer ence members before the year is over. This has been an odd year for the ex-Oregon State College bas ketball ail-American. He had six real fine prospects lined up prior to the opening of school. He picked up only two for one reason or another. He has lost for the season or part of the season another half dozen of the top cagers who reported at the start of the year for one reason or another. .

Sfh Klemefh Fills TD Drops Second To Crusaders Nazarenes Triumph In Second Half Blitz By CLAYTON HAXNON , Coach Wally Palmberg's young Herald and Newi Sports Writer and inexperienced Owls out-fought Northwest Nazarene exploded their taller foes here Tuesday here Tuesday night in the second half of their meeting with the Ore gon Tech Owls, displaying the pol ish and power that makes the Crusaders one of the Pacific Northwest's small college basket ball powers year in and year out. The Nampa, Idaho, collegians blasted the Owls 92-66 in the sec ond game of a non-conference se ries. NNC also won the first game played Monday night, 72-62. NORM OLIVA . . . will help Owls s 1 just what thS extent of the injury is. If Layher returns in lop phy sical shape, McKee and UUva re join the team and one or two others continue to improve, Palm berg will not take the count in the last eight conference games at least. We received word the otjer day that Jack Himelwright, ex-Klamath Union High School football and wrestling standout, will be playing Saturday in the first annual Cop-! per Bowl game. The game pits the top players from the Southwest and a team of Nationals. Jack, an all-Big Eight Conference tackle, and guard Sherm Pruitt are two University of Colorado footballers named to the South west team. The squad is made up of top footballers from the Big Eight, Skyline and Border confer ences. The game, to be played at Tem- pe, Arizona, is not scheduled to be televised in this section of the country. '' The Klamath Falls youm turned down a bid to play in the Senior Bowl game earlier this year. It Jack had accepted the Senior Bowl offer, he would have lost his amateur" standing and would have been unable to wrestle for Colo rado this winter. The Copper Bowl game will not hamper his wrestling eligibility. Iowa's all-American quarterback Randy Duncan fi looking forward to hi second trip to Pasadena and the Rose Bowl in three years And his memories of the last trip will linger, in his mind for some time to come. Duncan, as a sophomore, made the trip when the Hawkeyes trimmed Oregon State 35-19 two years ago. The two Hose Bowl teams were given Christmas parties by bowl officials. Prior to the party in 1957 Duncan kiddingly mentioned on the practice field that he would like Santa to bring him Jayne Mans field, the glamorous movie queen, as his Christmas present. The sub ject was dropped at the time. But at the party, Miss Mans field strode up to the stage and invited Randy to come up. He did. Miss Mansfield greeted him with a kiss, one he 11 remember no doubt. It's not expected Duncan will get the same type present at this year's party as the Big Ten cham pions prep for their meeting with the university of California Gold en Bears in the New Year's Day c assic.
