Lombardi, who also is the gen eral manager of the team which has found fabulous success in the National Football League stand ings as well as at the gate, said "I just don't know anything about it." When asked if he was denying the fund existed, Lom bardi answered "I am just say Shades of football season!

The Pelicans, who sport i 6-0 record, managed to poll one sin gle vote In the Oregonian rank ings. Perhaps this doesn't sound too bad since the Pelicans have had some rough times this sea son in notching those six wins. And the perennially strong White, birds could have a lot to do with the league race this year if they all play their best type ball. But Ashland, the Pels' foes Fri day night in the first Southern1 Oregon Conference contest, also is 6-0 against supposedly some what weaker competition, tallied more voles than the Pelicans. The Grizzlies tabulated six voles. The balance nf voting power re mains in the northern portion of the state. But SOC, year after year one of the state's strongest leagues, is well represented. Med ford is ranked fourth. Crater sixth and Grants Pass seventh. This is what this writer can't understand. The Cavemen, al though they are deftnding cham pions, have only a 4-2 record and were beaten 21 points by Rose hurg, 61-40, a team which Klam ath beat twice. This also will he settled this weekend when the Pelicans host the Cavemen Saturday night on Pelican Court. Craler's fast-breaking Comets appear to us to be the team to watch in the league this year. They, like the Pelicans and Griz zlies, are unbeaten ip six games and against some fair competition The Comets have been scoring at a rapid clip thus far despite be ing a small team. Medford will still have to he the favored team for the title but we predict Crater to make a good run for the money with Klamath in the thick of the fight if they pick their feet up and play the type ball they are capable of playing and in every game and - - - - ..,...; .,.,-,1 'Y' HANDBALL WINNERS These are the top three pleted Fall Invitational Handball Tournament at the TMCA, At left is second place finisher Ricbard Berg.

Richard Bourguignon. the vice president of Die Green Bay Pack ers. Inc., a non-profit corporation, insisted "there is no truth" to the report by Joe Williams, sports editor of Scripps Howard News papers, that a $250,000 trust fund WHS set up for Lombardi by Green Bay directors. Williams said the Rams offered to buy up Lombardi's contract, which still has three years to run and give him 10 per cent of the Los Angeles club, which he could sell at the end of five years "and pick up a bundle." The offer was supposed to have jerry waggoner not every other game. This can not be afforded in league com petition.

Gifford Rally "Player" NEW YORK 'Urn - Frank Gntord, who ended a one-year retirement, mastered a new posi tion and played a big part in the New York Giants fine season, to day was honored by United Press International for the 1962 come- back-of-the-year in the National Football League. The handsome halfback's reer appeared ended exactly two years ago at this time when he was sent to the hospital with severe concussion after being hit hard by Chuck Bednarik in . game against the Philadelphi; Eagles. Gilford sat out the 1961 seison and earned a comfortable living as a radio broadcaster and a model lor television commer cials and magazine advertise ments. But as Gifford put it, "Retiring was a big mistake. "I had In get back," he said "Football is my life." And so at the age of 32. Gifford returned to start his 10th season with the Giants. Although his first nine seasons with the Giants had been spent as a glamor-boy running hack who set team records in rushing yardage, touchdowns and points scored, that position was no long er open to him when he reported to pre-season training last sum mer. But the versatile Gilford always had been a first-class pass re ceiver and so the Giants gave him a shot at the flanker position lhat Kyle Rote had left vacant bv retirement.
