in 1961. Oklahoma City has won
the title three times, but not
since 19S.
The 1962 champion, Loyola of
Chicago, was forced to miss
this year's tournament because
of a prior commitment. Wyo
ming was tlie runner-up cham
pion last year.
old Davis, a football super
salesman, the Raiders accom
plished an astonishing turn
about this season. After win
ning only one league game in
1962 (and extending a losing
streak to 19 games', they com
piled a 10-4 record this year
and battled the Chargers for
the Western Division title right
to the final Sunday.
The achievement is even
more remarkable when it is
considered that Ibis was Davis'
first major head coaching as
signment since lie began his
coaching career in 1950.
Davis is the fourth Oakland
coach in as many seasons, and
by far the most successful. The
Raiders won six games in Iheir
first AFL season, dropped to
two in 1961 and only one in '62.
Davis revamped the Raiders
drastically. At one stage of the
season 19 of the 33 play ers on
the roster were new men. Art
Powell, one of the league's best
pass-catchers, was picked up
as a free agent after he had
played out his option with the
New York Titans. Archie Mat
sos, an experienced middle line
backer, was acquired in a trade
with Buffalo, and defensive
hack Claude Gibson from San
Diego.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI'
The Kansas City Athletics to
day abandoned the Municipal
Stadium, Iheir home for the
past nine years, and took ref
uge in a bank building in the
wake of Iheir owner's stormy
battle with the city over a new
stadium lease.
Acting on orders from owner
Charles O. Finley, tin? stadium
crews and members of the Ath
letics' office staff packed tip
equipment and records and
moved to new offices in Ihe
Civic, Plaza National Bank
Building in downtown Kansas
City.
Finley said Hie team's offices
will remain in the bank build
ing and the Athletics will play
on sandlot fields next year be
fore he will yield further in his
demands on terms of a new
lease.
Pat Friday, the team's gener
al manager, directed the mov
ing operation today. He said it
would be completed by next
Tuesday, the day the current
lease expires.
City officials, meanwhile, re
mained unruffled to the flurry
of moving activity in the Ath
letics' camp.
"We have made three propos
als on a new lease and feel that
this is as much as we can do,"
said City Manager Carleton
Sharpe. "We asked Mr. Finley
to begin these negotiations last
June, but he waited until last
week."
Finley. in announcing the
move Tuesday night, said the
Athletics might be playing in a
"cow pasture" next season if
the city docs not meet his
terms for a new lease.
Finley complained about the
lease from the time he pur
chased Ihe club in 1961. But he
became particularly bitter
about it when the cily gave the
Kansas City Chiefs of the pro
fessional American Football
League a liberal lease on the
stadium.

Concentration is really a syn
onym for good bowling. Some
teeners and a lot o.'older
people have trouble keeping
their minds on those tenpins
stoically defying you and your
bowling skill.
If you keep your attention fo
cused on the business at hand,
the odds are in your favor. Al
low your mind to drift for 1
split second and the odds
shift in favor nf the pins.
Ask any star bowler what 's
the most important faclor in
good howling and almost invari
ably Ihe answer will be "Con
centration." Ask them how they
do it and each will have a dif
ferent formula, hut it will all
boil down basically In self-disci-pline.
You must drill your mind to
slay on your game until your
follow through is completed.
Then, and then only, is it safe
to take your eyes off the target
and onto the ball speeding into
the 1-3 pocket
I start shutting nut everythinj
cKp and concentrating on my
delivery the moment I lake mv
stance. I find this liead start
helps me keep my mind fo
cused on Hie pins throughout
the process of getting the hall

That running battle between
Jerry West and Oscar Robert
son never stops.
Wednesday night it as more
of the same as West scored 47
points while leading 1ie Los
Angeles Lakers lo a 134-126
victory over New York. Mean
while, Robertson scored 37
points and had 16 assists in
leading Cincinnati to a 113-107
win over St. Louis.
It's hard In say who was
more spectacular but that's the
way it's always been between
the two since they played col
lege ball at West Virginia and
Cincinnati respectively.
West was held scoreless in the
first period but came back
with a magnificent show, in
cluding 36 points in the second
half, to move the Lakers past
the improved Knicks. New York
led by ten al the half and five
at the end of the third period.
But West's 20 in the last quar
ter ruined New York.
He had help from Elgin Bay
lor who scored 27 points and
had 15 rebounds. Rudy LaRus
so scored 20 points and had 20
rebounds. Bill McGill had 30 for
New York and Art Heyman had
26. A crowd of 15.163 saw the
game at Madison Square Gar
den. Robertson connected on 12 nf
24 shots and earned his points
the hard way, repeatedly driv.
ing past his opponents. He also
added 15 rebounds for one of
the greatest all-round nights of
his career.
St. Louis, behind Cliff Hag
an's .13 points, broke into the
lead several times during the
second and third periods, but
couldn't keep Oscar away from
the basket at crucial moments.
