HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, Ore. Monday. January 25, lOfiO PAGE NINE Voting Unsuccessful Solid 7 Won't Budge NFL Owners Agree, To Keep Disagreeing MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (API-Efforts of National Football League owners to select, a successor to the late Bert Bell have gone to the ridiculous side. Not only can't the 12 owners agree on a boss, they even have trouble deciding what time to start disagreeing. After seven un successful ballots Sunday 21 in all since voting began last Thurs daya motion was made to ad journ again. "Move we reconvene at 5 p.m. tomorrow," said one owner who must have had visions of a day at Hialeah. Then came a few other motions, one suggesting an 8 a.m. starting time, another ll a.m., still another 1 p.m. The lat-i ter. after some discussion, finally prevailed. It was midnight when the sun tanned executives came from the meeting room. Attorney Marshall Leahy o San Francisco still had seven voles San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland. Detroit, New York. Uroon Bay and the Chicago Cardinals. The "Solid Seven" re fuses to budge. They won't even nominate a compromise candi date. Lined up permanently as op position is the "Fearless Four," Philadelphia, Washington, Pitts burgh and Baltimore. The minor ity group switched from time to time from Baltimore's general manager, Don Kellett, lo Acting Commissioner Austin H. Gunsel. They switched just to break the monotony. The four votes, how ever, remain solid. They were last cast for Gunsel on the 21st round. Nine votes are necessary to elect a new commissioner. Also static is the position of George Halas, owner of the Chi cago Bears. Papa Bear passes on every round. The leading exponent of league expansion, Halas has been criticized from both sides. "Vote for the other group and you lose ou rcxpas nnoi'v.etos 'a'id lose our expansion vote," said Halas. The battle obviously tends to re duce the meeting to a war of nerves. The chief factions are try ing to wait each other out. Each is counting on the other to give in to end the debacle. This all-important annual win ter meeting is nothing reminis cent of the long, hard days and nights put in under the whip hand of Bell when the sessions wera held in cold, clammy Philadel phia. There is more play her than work. For example, Sunday after noon's session was adjourned for he professed purposes of cau cuses. A glance around the lobby however, showed one owner play ing bridge, several watching tele vision, others telling jokes to newsmen. Garney Henley of Huron College scurcd 141 points during the 1959 football season. In four years at the South Dakota school he tallied 394 points. PELS IN COMMAND KU Pelican Don Eastman hoists the ball out of harm's way in Sat urday's record-breaking 97-61 victory over Central Point. At Eastman's left is Comet Dave Sharp, 14. Right front is KU's Bob Lapsley. The entire Whitebird team saw action in the game, one that set an all-time scoring record. The Pels' previous high was also registered at the expense of Central Point. WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor Kentucky, Georgia Tech Claim Week's College Cage Spotlight Fy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This is the night college basket ball learns if Adolph Rupp and his Kentucky Wildcats still have the knack for winning the big ones. The big one this time puts Ken tucky at Georgia Tech in a game that probably will decide the Southeastern Conference champi onship and the SEC club to chal lenge for the national collegiate tournament title in March. Challenging for the NCAA and winning it is an old Kentucky hab it, what with Baron Rupp and his Wildcats holding NCAA records for number of games won in tour nament play, number of appear ances and number of national col legiate titles (four). ',. This time, however, ' Georgia Tech stands in the way and has the edge so far on the Blue Grass perennials after whipping Ken tucky at their Lexington lair Jan. 2. They get together tonight at Tech with the Engineers holding first place in the SEC with a 5-0 record to Kentucky's 4-1. Besides, being the road club, Kentucky is further hampered by the temporary loss of junior star Billy Lickert, who has a leg in jury, and the ineligibility of his planned replacement, Roger New man. But of the top ten rankings so far, Kentucky has a 10-4 record but has come on strong after dropping three of its first seven games. Tech was ranked sixth na tionally in last week's Associated Press poll and has a 14-2 over-all mark after splitting a pair last week. Tech beat Tennesseee 74-69 Saturday after losing a game that didn't count in the conference standings to SEC foe Auburn 66-59 last Tuesday. The Kentucky-Georgia Tech game tops the Monday program as basketball begins to perk up some with many of the schools having finished mid-term examinations. All of the top ten teams have games this week except lotn- ranked Texas A&M and the likes of Bradley, California, West Vir ginia and company probably can hardly wait to get going again after the way top-ranked Cincin- nati and its All-America, Oscar Robertson, have been floundering. Baskefball Standings UO Boss Anxious For Five EUGENE (AP) It would be nice, says coach Steve Belko, if the University of Oregon s best five players all could be on the basketball court at the same time. First, Belko said, it was Glenn .Moore, a-prize 6-7 sophomore who was hobbled for weeks by an ank le sprain. Moore recovered his full strength hv Oreeon's lone weekend game, but then Charlie Warren came down with the flu on the eve of the team's Friday encounter with Washington. Oregon lost that game 63-56 and then drew two days of rest before resuming practice today. Belko said Sunday night that Warren, Oregon's other high-scoring sophomore, appeared to be recovered enough from the flu to re-join the team. "I hope we get them all healthy by this weekend," Belko said. "We haven't had our best five together for quite a while." It's doubly important for Ore gon to be at top condition this week, Belko said, for the Ducks swing into California for games Friday and Saturday nights. The Friday night game will be et Berkeley against California's defending national champ ions, winners of 14 of 15 games this season. It will be the first meeting of iho imiH between the two teams, and of California Belko aaid: "Real good personnel. They're big and have a lot of ' bench power." Belko said Oregon's drills this vopIc will he concentrated on ways of threading through Calif ornia's tin-top defense. That defense is one of Calif rnla's best points, but Belko said Bis team will attempt an extra ordinary effort to overcome it.

Cincinnati, coming off its Jan. 16 loss to Bradley, managed to win its 14th in 15 tries, 61-58 over Duquesne Saturday night but the Bearcats had one of their toughest struggles with Robertson limited to 13 points by the defensive play of George Brown. Oscar, needing 46 points to break the all-time three-year scor ing record of 2,538 points estab lished by Furman's Frank Selvy in 1954, hit only 4 of 14 shots from the field. He is still 33 points away from breaking Selvy's mark and needs 82 to top the major school all-time career record of 2,587 set in four seasons ending in 1955 by Wake Forest's Dickie Hcmric.

But there's more barn storming just ahead for the Beav ers. "We're getting a little tired Coach Paul Valentl said Sunday night. "We've been on the road three weeks. And as everyone knows, that's quite a chore." Oregon State went north over the weekend, beating Washington Slate at Pullman Friday night, then losing to Idaho 62-56 in over time at Moscow Saturday night. After that game with Idaho Oregon State rushed back to Spo kane by bus to catch a midnight train. The train arrived in Port land at 7 a.m. Then the players took a bus on to Corvallis. 'It's just the traveling," Val enti said. "No one sleeps very well on those trains. Everything is a little different. Just being away from home is tiring. Then you have to do it again in a few days." This will be the fourth week in a row on the road for Oregon State. The squad leaves by plane Thursday for San Francisco, and a Friday game with Stanford and a Saturday contest with Califor nia. "We'd like to keep the drills as intense as we can this week, but we have to be careful because we know the kids are tired," Val- enti said. "There's no sense in spending all your excess energy on prac tice and having none left for the game.". Against California, Oregon Slate will be facing the defending national champions, loser of only one of 13 games this season. Valenti said the game with Ida ho was a tough one. "The kids did a good job of staying in there all the way." warn one Low Pirke L1VJ Featuring Goodyear Tread Rubber and Repair Materials n Whitewalls or Blackwalls Come in today I Get miles of safer, more dependable driving at low, low prices.
