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.

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. . Norm

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

The Syracuse Nations of the
National Basketball Assn. are

Boston Celtics and New York
Knicks are still up m the air as
to who wants first place in the
Eastern Division.

This was the only NBA action.
night and managed to share a
38-38 deadlock at halftinie after
leading by a few points most of
the t i m e. But the Techmen's
pressing defense and run-run type
of offense ran out of gas in the
opening minutes of the second 20
minutc period.
Sparked by 6-7 Stan Freeman,
Northwest Nazarene broke the
tightly played contest wide open
with a field goal from close in on
the first play of the second half.
Freeman then added a pair of free
throws, teammate Gene Oberc
tossed in three field goals and
NNC was in command 48-40.
During the first nine minutes and
10 seconds of the second half, Ore
gon Tech's offensive play netted
the Owls only four points two
field goals. Freshman center Troy
Koontz, who was subbing for the
injured 6-7 Paul Layher, fired in
one fielder and Charlie Wilson hit
for the other as the Owls found
themselves down 67-42 - with 11
minutes left to play.
During this drive by the Cru
saders, Freeman hit for 14 points.
Oberg had six and Bob Peppley
accounted for eight.
Tech s cause picked up later in
the game when Northwest Naz
arene began to clear their bench
with about six minutes left and the
Crusaders in a 75-47 lead. Koontz,
Charlie Wilson and Tom Dick were
the big scorers' for the Owls in
their belated bid.
In the first half, OTI broke a
17-17 deadlock with 11:40 left to
play following a pair of long one-
handed push shots by Charlie Wil
son to move ahead 21-17. Ardell
Hamilton hit on a short driving
hook shot and Wilson countered
with two more goals from the field
as Oregon Tech managed to build
up a 29-22 lead.
Norinwcst Nazarene cut awav
at the Tech lead until little Tom
Tracy tied the game at 36-36 with
35 seconds left in the hah. Pep
pley pushed NNC ahead on two
free throws, but with only five
seconds remaining in the half,
Koontz pumped in a shot from
the lane to knot the score again,

Ancient Archie Moore Presented Neil
Memorial Trophy As Fighter Of Year
NEW YORK (AP)-Light heavy-,
weight champion Archie Moore,
after 22 years of pro battling, to
day won the award he prized
above all others the Edward J.
Neil Memorial plaque as Fighter
of the Year.
He was chc unanimous pick of
the Boxing Writers Assn. Ageless
Archie, who celebrated another
birthday (42, 45, 49) last Satur
day, will share the honors with
another old-timer, Broadcaster
writer Sam Taub, at the BWA's
annual dinner early in January.
Taub, a 72-year-old New Yorker
and a pioneer boxing broadcaster
was chosen 'n receive the James
J. Walker Memorial trophy "for
long and meritorious service to
boxing."
'This is a dream come true
said Archie, "and makes it a big
year all around."
Tm thrilled, Taub said.
Moore fought what he himself
called "the most sensational fight
of my career" only last Wednesday
night when he rallied from the
brink of defeat to knock out Can
ada's Yvon Durelle in the 11th
round of a title bout.
It was Archie's seventh defense
of the crown he won six years
ago from Joey Maxim. His knock
out was the 127th of his 205-fight
career and made him the all-time i
knockout champ of boxing.
His record is 175-24-6.
Taub, avi eforvescent little fel
low, writes a boxing column for
the Daily Sports Bulletin.
His vivid radio accounts of the
great fights of the 20s and 30s
made him nationally known.
The Neil plaque is named In
memory of the former Associated
Press sports writer who was killed
in 1938 while serving as a war
correspondent in Spain. The Walk
er trophy is named for the late
mayor of New York.
