Tex. (tlPI) The : American Football League opened ; its annual meeting in Houston to day amid speculation that the -league office would be shifted ;from Dallas to New York. - None of the eight owners preS' , nt for the young league's second ' annual session would comment on the report, but speculation was strong that the headquarters shift would be brought up at the two day session which opened today Other than tha office shift if It it brought up the gathering is xpected to be relatively quiet and orderly, in contrast witn last Jan uary's session when owners were getting ready to play in their first season and when they award' ed the eighth franchise to Oak' fend. Another topic which might come :up Is the possibility of shifting :the Los Angeles CUrgert to San Diego. Such reports have been .prevalent recently, but commis rsioner Joa Foss said, "As far as :i know, there is nothing definite.' : Any franchise transfer requires .'approval of seven of the eight . -AFL members. ; Foss also said tha subject of ; expansion would be on the agenda 'along with "half dozen other Items."

Jim Long, a M-pounder, Gary WAYNI SCOn, Dluc Devils Drive By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hey, man, this Hcyman's still at it acting like the sophomore of all college basketball as he and the Duke Blue Devils . drive toward the regular season cham pionship in the Atlantic ' Coast Conference. Just earning a starting spot on Duke's veteran team might have been honor enough, but young Art Heyman's doing much more. Like Wednesday night when the eighth ranked Blue Devils came from 11 points behind with 2:45 left and finally edged upstart Virginia 92-90 in overtime. It was Heyman's field goal with 35 seconds left in regulation time that climaxed an 11-0 burst and Santa Clara Defense Nets 61-49 Win By Halted Press International Keeping the other team from scoring is just as effective in bas ketball as putting the ball through the hoop yourself. The Santa Clara Broncos, lead ing defensive team in the nutlon convincingly demonstrated this Wednesday night in Honolulu when they downed the host Ha waii Rainbows, 6M9. The score is misleading as the B rones forced the islanders to shoot from the outside all through the first half. Hawaii could hit only 6 of 29 in the first half as the Broncs grabbed an impressive 34-17 halftime lead. The Rain bows made the score respectable against the Bronc bench-w armors in the second half. A1 Birtles scored 23 for the losers, while the big soph. Genu Shields, hit 14 to lead a well-bal anced Bronc attack. The victory gave the tall Broncs an 11-4 season record, best of the West Coast Athletic Conference teams. Santa Clara and Hawaii will meet in rematch Friday. Action is light on the Pacific Coast these days with the Bip Five girding for a big weekend of action and many of the other team taking end-of-semestcr fi-j nals. I Includes, from laft in tha front row, Jim Long, Gary Head, Milo Crumrina, Gary Leavitt, Ron Griggi, Eric Patanon and Bob Mitchell. In back, from tha left, ara Dava Gonzales, Larry Withart, Las Husted, Art Mills, Joa Cox, and Gary Hancock. Head at 106, and Milo Crumrine, at US, lead the KU contingent with four pins and one decision each. At HI pounds, Bob Mitchell has racked up three pins and two' decisions as has Art Mills, 178 pounds, probably the most re spected wrestler on the KU squad. Heavyweight Gary Hancock has three pins and one draw to his credit although he was pinned his last time out. Sport Idltor Cage Title finally got Duke even after Vir ginia (2-11) had built an 81-70 lead. ln overtime, it was the 8-foot-5 sophomore's soft push shot that won it with 12 seconds re maining. Comebacks, spectacular shots and upsets marked the college program in general Wednesday night. St. Joseph's (Pa.) spilled fifth-ranked St. John's 74-71 be hind Vince Kemplon and Jack Egan in the windup of a Phila delphia Palestra doublcheader that opened with New York Uni' versity's 70-67 upset of Temple. Army, holding Villanova scoreless for the first nine minutes shocked the touted Wildcats 64-49, and Dayton's Flyers beat Duquesne 60-56. Georgia Tech rolled to an 89-80 overtime triumph over Georgia Maryland (8-3) got 16 points from Bruce Kellchcr in a 55-47 victory over Georgetown, and Air Force squared its record at 5-5 downing Centenary 61-59.

Pender 2-1 Teeyee Pick Over Downes BOSTON (AP) - Havinir two champions in one division makes for some confusion but it's a mer ry mixup as far as the fighters are concerned. Take the middlewcights, for in stance. Paul Pender of Brookline. Mass., is recognized as world champion of the 160-pound class by Massachusetts, New York and most of Europe. Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, is hailed as king of the division by the Na tional Boxing Association. Because it can be billed as a title fight, the fourth Fullmer- Sugar Ray Robinson battle on Feb. 25 has been sold to television for $150,000. The same goes for the Pender Terry Downc scrap at the Boston Arena Saturday night. This one went for $65,000 to TV. Of this Pender will receive $35,750 on his 55 per cent cut of the TV fee, and Downes, the English champion, will collect $13,000 on his 20 per cent. If Pender didn't own a niece of the crown, the fighters probably wouldn't receive more than the usual $4,000 each for the televi sion. USED STEEL & PIPE USED Channels 3" . 4" - IB.... .

Legislation adopted at the busi ness session of the 55th annual NCAA convention Wednesday stip ulated that colleges may not pay the expenses, of athletic talent scouts. It was also ruled that a member college may not put a recruiter on the payroll and claim him as a staff member. The legislation was drafted in advance of the disciplinary action Tuesday that placed North Caro lina on probation for a year and barred the school's seventh-ranked basketball team from the national championships. But it was recalled by conven tion delegates that one of the charges against North Carolina involved unitemized expense ac counts turned in by semi-official recruiter Harry Gotkin, who scout ed high school basketball players in the New York area. Wednesday's convention climax was one of the longest ever but the NCAA gathering was expected to wmd up quickly today with a routine morning meeting of the council. Recruiting rules were also tight ened by the adoption of a measure which requires persons paying for the transportation of an athlete on a visit to a college campus to accompany the athlete. The NCAA feels boosters won't encourage so many campus visits if they have to make the trips themselves. Other legislation adopted in. eluded: Complete member-college sup port of a previously announced break with the Amateur Athletic Union over what the NCAA feels inconsistency in rule enforce. ment by the AAU.

After the signing, no other member institution could approach the athlete. In other activity, the NCAA ap proved four new college bowls, in. eluding one for the families of 16 football players killed in a plane crash.

Cubans Await USA Rulings; 'Green Light' By BOB BERRELLEZ ' HAVANA (AP)-Cuban baseball players are awaiting some anx iouslyclarification of their status as members of United States ma jor and minor league clubs. The rupture of U.S.-Cuban rela tions last week threw a cloud over the future participation of Cubans in organized baseball in the states. But baseball authorities here are confident the U.S. State Department will give the green light to Cuban players. Felipe Guerra, Cuban sports di rector, has announced there will be no restrictions imposed on Cu ban players: requesting exit per mits to play abroad. Washington's official attitude about issuing baseball visas still is not known. In the past Cubans entered the United Stales under special permits renewable annu ally. It has been a practice for'a club to which the player or players be longed to make visa requests on then behalf via the State Depart ment. It is not known here if any club thus far has made the usual visa request for Cubans. American clubs have a good sized investment in Cuban talent. Nearly 200 Cuban players are tick eted for action in the major and minor leagues this season. Be tween 14 and 19 of them carry big league credentials for spring training, at least.

Molinas had sued .for reinstate ment, charging that a lifetime sus pension for mere "technical vio lations" of the league rule against gambling was unreasonable. He also charged the league had blackballed him by refusing to al low NBA players to appear in exhibition games against him. The charges, Molinas claimed, added up to restraint of trade in viola tion of federal anti-trust laws. Kaufman, who heard the case without a jury, ruled against Mo linas on all counts, however.
