George Halas of the Chicago Zoo Helper WinsByTKO, Looks Ahead CHICAGO (AP) Ever since fighter Henry Hank, a one time Detroit zoo helper, beat a caged lion to the punch, his reflexes have been sharp. Hank, 24 years old and out weighed 165 to 173, showed his shots Wednesday night by flooring Jesse Bowdry of St. Louis twice in the third round and nailing him again in the sixth for a technical knockout. After his sensational TV" figlit in Chicago Stadium, Hank, father of five children, told interviewers: "I'm glad everybody, liked me in this fight. There are four guys ahead of me in the ratings and I could take three of them out the same night. I would get Ray Robinson, an old man, and the guy who beat him, Paul Pender, by the third or fourth rounds. Gene Fullmer is stronger. would nail him in the sixth. As for Spider Webb he would be the easiest of all he's made for me and it would take only three rounds." Gun Clubbers Vie For Cup Members of the Klamath Gun Club will vie for a brand new trophy Sunday when the organiza tion holds its regular weekly meet on the Wocus range. The trophy will become the property of the shooter register ing the best score in a 100-targct competition, including 50 16-yard and 50 handicap targets. New shooters or those without average cards will be handicapped by one ot the club diroctors. Gunners from all over Klamath Coun-y participated last Sunday when the dub staged a big mer chandise shoot. John Lichtenstern, club spokes man, noted that the general public is invited to be on hand either as spectrors or participants in all gun club affairs. Pirates Ink Face PITTSBURGH (AP) Right hander Roy Face, who posted an 18-1 record with the . Pittsburgh Pirates during the 1959 season, to day signed his 1960 contract. Terms were not disclosed but he reportedly received a substantial boost. Bears, chairman of the league's expansion committee, hailed the amendment as the most import ant change in the NFL in 25 years. George Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, and Walter Woltnor of the Chicago Cardinals Were' (he only negative votes on the amendment proposed by Ed win Anderson, president of the De-I troit Lions. f Tne new commissioner, rcie no zclleY who took' over the chair at (he meeting Wednesday, said the owners would vote ;on expansion either late Thursday or Friday The decision could admit any com bination of one to four teams. Representatives of Dallas, Min- ncapolis-St. Paul, St. Louis and Miami, Fla., are here waiting for the league's decision. Each has applied for a franchise. The rumor is that Dallas will get m this year with the others approved for 1961 or later. While the discussion on expan sion went on here, Commissioner Joe Foss of the American Football League commented from Dallas that if the NFL should come into Dallas, it would "not be consid ered a kiss of love," indicating it might create strife between the two leagues. He said it was a poor example of harmony he sought. Rozelle relorted: "Tell Mr. Foss that if the NFL does expand into Dallas it would hope to achieve the same harmony the NFL de sires in New York, Los Angeles and perhaps San Francisco." The AFL, has teams in' the NFL territories of New York and Los Angeles and is considering invad ing the older league's San Fran cisco grounds.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Looks as if the Dayton Flyers. who make the National Invitation Basketball Tournament a March habit, will be heading to New York at tournament-timo again. Coach Tom Blackburn has blended sophomores Gary Roggen burk and Tom Hatton with hold overs Frank Case, Mike Allen and Stan Greenberg into a team that's more than making up for last sea son's club that blew a NIT bid by dropping five of its last six games. When the Flyers decisively snapped ambitious Virginia Tech's eight-game winning streak 77-59 Wednesday night, they built their own win string to six and their overall record to 14-3. The loss was only the third in 15 games for VPI, ranked 17th na tionally this week after pulling in Pelicans Fear Loss Of Starting Guard With the possible- exception ofithrough rapid scrimmages and fun- one player, the, Klamath Union Pelicans are all set for another series of Southern Oregon Confer ence basketball this weekend when they travel to Ashland Friday night then return home to host Grants Pass here Saturday. The games mark the Pels' second start against each club. The first time around the Pels dumped the Cavemen 58-50 at Grants Pass and dealt the Ash- laudcrs a 64-46 whipping on Pelican Court.

Fish, Wildlifers To Make Awards McCLOUD John F. Rcginato Redding, general manager of Shas ta-Cascade Wonderland Associa tion said the third annual junior nd sixth annual senior Sports man s Award activities are Doing planned for May 6-7-8. Sportsmen's clubs in Northern California are again requested to make recommendations for the re cipient of the award. In the junior award division the age limit for recipients has been upped to 18 vears. Last year tne nrrni was 16. A detailed outline ot activi ties of the nominee in the interest of our fish and wildlife resources should be sent to Rcginato as soon as possible in order that they may be considered. Alabama has never beaten Tex as or Rice in football. Texas has won all four games played and Rice all three. to a tie at 6-0 with classy West Virginia for the Southern Confer ence lead. West Virginia, fourth-ranked na tionally, nailed a 161 record by beating Pitt 76-66, Kentucky bounced back from its thumping loss to Georgia Tech by drubbing Georgia 84-60, seventh - ranked I'tah 115-2) beat Loyola of Los Angeles 88-81. and eighth-ranked Villanova U3-1) rallied to beat Army 6S-53 in other Wednesday features. Dartmouth rebounded from an 11-point halftime deficit to finally turn back Boston U. 90-83 in two overtimes, Fordham ended a six game losing streak with a 62-54 victory over LIU, and Wisconsin's string of five losses ended in a 92-80 breeze over North Dakota. South Carolina whipped Furman 91-81. damcntal shooting drills. The only dark spot during the week has concerned senior guard Dean Dunson, who has been suf fering extensively from a severe head cold that has hampered him during the drills. Dunson, a start er for the Pels, scored 27 points in the recent conquest of the Central Point Crater Comets. Dunson's. condition has prevented him from acquiring the "flu" shots that have been deemed necessary for the entire balance of the squad. Said coach Dean White, "Dean's condition is causing a great bit of concern to the whole team and me. He is approaching a rundown condition since, in addition to the cold, he has been working extra hard in bringing up his grades Al (Keck, assistant- coach) and 1 feel hesitant in taking a chance with his health this weekend. We could hurt him for future games." Aside from Dunson the remain der ot the team seems in excellent health and ready for a top effort this weekend. In spite of the previous wins over the weekend foe, there is no ten dency to take either Ashland or the Cavemen for granted. "On their own home floor and with their ball control tactics, Ash land can always be tough, for anyone. And Grants Pass, with Rex Benner scoring as he has been (the GP sharpshooter counted 23 the last time the clubs met), is always upset-minded. We can't afford to take either team lightly," observed White. The starters for Saturday night will be picked from Bob Lewis, Bruce Brickner, Gary Patzke, Paul Bishop, Fred Bichn, Steve Binney, Don Eastman, Wayne Dennis, Wal ly Palmberg and Bob Lapslcy.

Coach George Miller, kneeling, keeps an eye on the procedure. From left to right are Hank Williams, Gary Gathwright, Dave Kubesh, Wendell Winterbottom, Lyle Fowler and Hal McUne. ... Ore Tech In 1st Match Of New Oregon Tech wrestlers get their first taste of competition Friday afternoon when they host the Southern Oregon College Red Raid ers in a match scheduled to begin at 4 o'clock in the OTI gymnasi um. The bout marks the culmination of a long grind ot training and conditioning that began shortly aft er the close of the Owl football season when the wrestling program was reinaugurated at the Mile High school. In past years Ore Tech had competed on an inter collegiate basis with other schools both in and out of the Oregon Collegiate Conference but the sport was scratched from the OTI ath letic program because of a lack of sufficient interest on the part oi Owl athletes. The sport was revived this sea son, under the direction of coach George Miller, also the Owl line coach, when it was learned that there were a number of athletes on campus who were decidedly in terested. Miller began working with the squad, which has numbered 20-25 men, daily, and began negotiations with neighboring schools for pos sible wrestling dates. Because of the late start, it has been difficult to schedule bouts since nearly all probable competitors had previ ously filled schedules. Following the match with SOC Friday the Techmen are set for bouts with Humboldt State on Feb AFL To Close First Meet, No Decision DALLAS (AP) The Ameri can Professional .Football League winds up its first annual meeting today attempting to select its eighth team but with small pros pect of doing it. President Lamar Hunt of Dal las predicted that it wouldn't be accomplished although there are four applicants. He said this would necessitate a telephone bal lot requiring a week or 10 days. Atlanta, Oakland and San Fran cisco already have submitted bids in person while two Miami groups have asked to be considered. One of those, headed by Bob Neal. representative of a Cleveland syn dicate, will have a chance only if it fails to obtain a National Foot ball League franchise and the AFL isn't filled by that time. The other, whose group wasn't identi fied by Hunt, will not be con sidered at all. Hunt said a study of the stadi um facilities of the applicants was the main reason for postpone ment of the selection.' General opinion was that Oak land had the best chance of get ting the last franchise because it is backed by Barron Hilton, own er of the Los Angeles club. He wants that city in the league to furnish a natural rivalry for his team. A unanimous vote is neces sary to select the eighth mem ber.
