COMING TO GRIPS pels Open Sweet IHIome Series Tonight Huskies Seeking First Victory Of New Season By BOX COULD Herald and News Sports Editor Thus far this year tlie Sweet Home Huskies' chief claim to fame has been the publicity sur rounding their possibly dropping of the game of football. However, this rumor was branded just this week by school officials as untrue. tn the game of basketball the reason for the visit by the Huskies to Klamath Falls tonights-success has been diffi cult to find. Kerry Moran's Huskies have been to tlie post three times this season. And three times thev have been stopped. And the past two-year mark of the Huskies has been just as unimpressive with a 3-17 record comoiled in 1961-62. and a 2-18 mark last year. But, if the Klamath Falls Pel icans feel the Huskies will be their "Country Cousins" because of this overall record, a second look by Al Keck s men would be wise. "We think Klamath Falls might be looking past us. "If they are, I feel we're ca pable of gaining at least a split in the series and perhaps even a sweep." Moran observes. The Huskies' head man makes these statements not without a degree of foundation. Look at the three games played: Against Lebanon In the open er, the Huskies hit for 21 field ers aginst 19 for Lebanon. They lost the contest by 15 points at the foul line the final tally, 66-51. Against the Cottage Grove Li ons, again the Huskies oulshot the opposition from the field but were defeated by nine points the final, 60-51. In (he most recent ouling against the Thurston Colts, the Huskies hit for 25 field goals es did the Colts, but Thurston converted 17 of 29 charity toss es for a 67-57 victory. It's obvious the Huskies do have an offense and are capa ble of scoring well. The defense used against tho Huskies could be the key to any success found by the Peli cans in the scries. This would entail close check ing of a five well-grounded in the art of screening and jump shooting. And it would also re quire top rebounding work, al lowing the Huskies a minimum of field attempts. The Huskies shoot well and often. They'll take the good shots and in three games they've av eraged 71 tries from the field per game. AU of the aforementioned items in the Huskies' history this year lend credence to Moran's comments. Both clubs have had just one practice session this week with the Christmas holiday. The Pels went Thursday as did tlie Huskies and KU worked defense, with individual defen sive moves stressed. Sure to give the Pelicans problems are such people as I)elmar Johnson (6-1 ' at for Charger Best In AFL Wars NHW YORK KUPD - Lame Ahvorlh, tlie flashy flanker playing his first full season of pro football, today boat out two of his San Diego Chargers team mates for Uie United J're.ss In ternational lata American League player f the year award. Ahvorlh out - polled quarter back Tobin Rote and fullback Keith Lincoln of tlie Chargers for (iie honor in a close vote of 24 AFL writers wlio deter mined the UPI post - season award winners.

This season, in his role as a flanker back and kick return specialist. AlwortJi proved one of the most dangerous breaka way running threats in (lie AFL. People Rood SPOT ADS y r Mt. ward' John Edwards (5-9' at guard and Gary Yunkers S-1 at forward. Johnson and Edwards both hit for 18 points against Thur ston and Yunkers, after collect ing 16 and 17 points respective ly in the first two contests of the year, fell down to nine last weekend. Johnson will bring a 16 points per game average in the series and a good jumper. Edwards is one of two good drivers for the Huskies, with a good cross-over move which has sprung him often. Yunkers has been deadly with his jumper. If this isn't enough, the Hus kies will toss a heady 5-6 guard by tlie name of Kerry Hoffman at the Pels, another driver with good moves and quickness. Add center Ron Picrson at 6-4 and the Huskies have danger ous potential. Against this group the Pels will counter with Gene Kings bury (6-71 at the post, with Terry Ash (6-4) at one forward spot. This pair is leading the Pel scoring and rebounding figures and Kingsbury enjoyed his best game of the young season last weekend as the Pels upended Bend at Pelican Court. Moving into the other forward post on the basis of his clutch play against Bend will be 6-2 Steve Baker. And at the guard posts will be Lanny Guyer (5-81 and Bob Moore (6-21, with speedy Larry Binney (5-8) figured to see much action again in this sc ries. Binney also gave the Pels a much-needed shot in the arm against the Lava Bears last weekend with his steals and cripples. Both teams normally go with a man-to-man defense and this is expected to be the tactic used by both in the scries. Offensive ly, the clubs will run if the chance presents itself, or the Huskies will go for the mistake made by the Pels and capitalize while running their screening pattern attack. The Huskies may throw addi tional height Into the contest in an effort to counter (he Pels' height, as 6-5 Dale Windrow and 6-4 Frank Stockett arc rea dy in reserve. This is tlie picture of the two teams set for a pair of con tests at Pelican Court tonight and Saturday night. Tipoff lime is 8 p.m. In the preliminary contest, the Bonanza Antlers try the KU Wildcats both nights at 6:15. Rodriguez In Vital Ring Test MIAMI BEACH (UPH-For-mer welterweight cliampion Luis Rodriguez, fighting his way back up, takes on young Wilberl Skcetcr) McClurc in a 10-round middleweight fight here, tonight. Tho bout, which will go on national television from the Mi ami Beach Auditorium at 10 p.m. EST is important for the former champion, who is trying to break into the middleweight ranks, and for the young teach-er-turned-puncher who is on his way up for the first time. McClure has 14 wins in 15 pro fights. The only loss was to Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a dancing delight who escaped from Communist Cuba several years ago and now makes his home here, sports a 52-3-1 record which pits him as the favorite in to night's bout. An avid dancer in his off hours, last year Rodriguez add ed a solid jab to his arsenal of antics and tho "powderpuff" ti tle conferred by many has been dropped from his name. McClure. from Toledo. Ohio, took a degree in education from the University of Ohio and plans to go back into leaching when his boxing ca reer ends. He brings to the fight impres sive wins over such boxers as Farid Salim.

TU 2-6222 ''' ' Huge Linemen Featured In East-West Shrine Classic SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) This is the year of man-eating lines (not lions) in the 39th an nual Shrine East-West game. And despite Hudyard Kipling's classic claim that "ne'er the twain shall meet," there'll be a lot of head-on collisions in the forward wall on the lawn at Ke zar Stadium Saturday. In fact, some of the bone banging charges may be heard clear up in the 60th row if you can believe what some of the coaches and players have to say. "That Carl Eller of Minne sota," said a pro scout watch ing from the stands during practice, "is so tough that he sweeps aside a whole line when he charges. Man, lie's going to be a great one in the pro ranks. "I'll bctcha he eats live wild cats for breakfast and spits out the claws." i Eller stands 6-6 and weighs 250. The pros think he'll finally round out to a nice solid 290 in the pro ranks when he reaches maturity. He is 22 now and al ready has been signed by the Minnesota Vikings. Other Stars Some of the boys who may be playing opposite him aren't exactly pushovers, however. One of these is Gary Kirner, a 218-pound tackle from Univer sity of Southern California. Kir ner was the outstanding line man in the West during the col- ") Ml PIZZA PARLOR Ye Public House legiate season. He not only is a deadly tackier, but is reputed to be one of the fastest forward wall men in the business. And when it comes to defense, the four starting ends are rated in the "eat 'em alive" category. For the East, there are Dave Ellison, 251-pounder from Pur due; and Don Underwood, 210 poundcr from Michigan State. For the West it will be Mel Profit, a towering 6-5 220 poundcr from UCLA; and Jim McNaughton, 230-pounder from Utah State. These four won't draw the headlines that the offensive ends, such as Jim Kelly of No tre Dame; Vern Burke of Ore gon State and others will. But they'll get the job done. There isn't a short, fat line man on either squad. Tall Too As a matter of fact, there are only three men out of the 48 w ho stand under six feet and all of these are backs. The av erage lineman will stand around 6-3 and weigh 225 pounds.

In the past, this trophy has gone to Carl Massey, University of Texas; Matt Itoltine, Cali fornia; Joe Long, Stanford; Don Shinnick, UCLA; Don Manou kian, Stanford; Sam Williams, Michigan Stale; Lou Cordileone, Clemson, E. J. Holub, Texas Tech; Buddy lies, Texas Chris tian, and Hugh Campbell, Wash ington State. But there is the belief in the training camps that this boy El ler may put all other line per formances to shame wilh a "super-man" showing that could sweep the East to victory.
