Olympic Games Are Officially Opened Today ROME (UPl)—The bells of the Eternal City pealed a peaceful opening today to the XVII Olympiad. '*■ Whether it will remain that way —as against a history of strife and turbulence—remains to be seen until the games end on Sept. 11, — But all was calm and serene as 4.200 of the more than 8,000 athletes on hand paraded through the sultry summer heat today to hear Italian President Giovanni Granchi formally open the greatest sports show on earth while 90,000 wilted spectators alternately applauded and panted. All the athletes did not march, to preserve the green-carpeted floor of the stadium as much as possible. But 4,200 finely conditioned athletes from 85 competing nations ignored the 86-degree heat —including 230 U.S. athletes led by world decathlon champion Rafer Johnson—to stand at attention while Gronchi announced: “I proclaim the opening of the Olympic Games of Rome, celebrating the 17th Olympiad of the modern era." Olympic Flame Arrives The marchers were led into the jammed stathum by Prince Constantine, 20, heir to the Greek throne, a team traditionally first in line as the founder of the games. * Behind him, swinging along behind their national banners, came the delegations from every other competing nation. The crowd thundered its approval of marching style and sartorial elegance. The United States, always sure of a huge ovation, marched along smartly behind the flag-bearing Johnson in blue jackets and white trousers. Once they were in line. Italian Olympic Committee President Giulio Onesti made a short welcoming speech and then newly reelected International Olympic

Committee President Avery Brundage of Chicago invited Gronci to declare the games open. Fans Attend Grid Drills Wednesday Bob Worthman’s gridders held a practice session under the lights Wednesday night to give the public a preview of the coming season. A good crowd of interested fans saw the team run through the usual conditioning and warmup drills and were then treated to a scrimmage between the team members. . At the beginning of the scrimmage Worthman had what will probably be the starting defensive eleven running against the second string offensive team. Some of mean tackles. Four or five of them the boys looked good by making some mean tackles. Four or five of them got a little rough at first but took things a little easy toward the finish. The probable first eleven then took over and ran through some plays. One factor, which has been showing all season, showed up again last night — speed. The Jackets have a lot to burn in that backfield and some mental capacity to go with it. Tom Grabill and Ed Nelson each ran off some fairly long gains. Denny Ahr, who was playing with the second bunch, also made some fine runs against the defensive team. There was some good spirit shown, but not the usual yelling and howling. This may be a good sign though, as teams in the past have shown a lot of that ‘mouth” spirit, but failed to win many ball games. This year’s bunch seems content to do less hollering and more tackling. The team looked good last night, but they were only playing against their own, second string, teammates. The going is to be a lot rougher playing another team. New York Stock Exchange Prices Midday Prices Central Soya 22% General Electric 84%

Jackets’ Guard Positions Lack In Size And Depth

By 808 BHRALUKA (Editor’s note: This is the third in a series outling the boys, position by position, who will make up Decatur’s 1960 football team.) Today we come to the middle of the line, the guards and centers. The center position appears to be pretty well taken care of, but the guard positions lack size and depth. Ron August, last year’s starting center, appears to be hanging onto his job. Ron is a 6 footer who weighs 180 pounds. He knows the? position well and can block with the best of them, Many say this position takes more intestinal fortitude than any of the others because most opposing teams usually have a 200 pound “monster” over the guy who has to duck his head to play his position. This doesn’t scare Ron, though, and if he keeps up the hard work he has been putting forth in practice he could develop into an outstanding ball snapper. August will probably be in the middle of the defensive. line, also. Al Schiederer, a 6 foot, 165 pound junior, is pushing August for his job by working hard and learning the position. Al didn’t play much varsity ball last year, but what he lacks in experience, he more than make\ up for in determination. The guard spots are the most troublesome in the Decatur line. Seniors Tom Sharpe and Bob Theobold are the likely starters here, but they could very easily be pushed out of a job if they ever let up. Sharpe is another of those few on whom a lot depends. Tom is a 6-footer who weighs 185 pounds and is as “strong as an ox.” He got into enough games last year, gaining enough experience to know that his position isn’t one of luxury. Sharpe is a good blocker I and can plug those holes on the 1 defensive team, but it is going to take a little work and desire. The other guard position will probably find Bob Theobold starting. Bob played quite a bit last year and he has enough spark and drive that all he needs is to get a little meaner to play his position. He has enough speed that he can do some good blocking when he pulls on an end run. Larry Macklin and Mike Affolder, a pair of seniors, will be backing up Sharpe and Theobold. Macklin, at 5-11, 170 pounds, can throw some good blocks and make a lot of tackles. Larry has shown he likes to play the game and if this spirit stays with him. he, could very easily be on the first eleven. Affolder is a little guy with a wealth of hustle and desire. Mike is 5-5 and only weighs 133 pounds, but he isn’t afraid to crack somebody. He is on the order of Herb Banning, a small man who played on last year’s team and showed, by getting more tackles than anybody, that size isn't everything. Another hope showed for his first practice Tuesday. He is Steve Pickford, who, although inexperienced. has the size to push somebody around. “Pick” is a senior who stands 5-11 and weighs close to 200 pounds. He could play either guard or tackle, but if he wants to play bad enough, Worthman will find a spot for him. The center spot will be pretty well taken care of, but the guard position is thin in size and depth. Theobold and Sharpe can get the job done, but any injuries or loaf ing by any of the five probables could weaken the line. (Next: halfbacks.)

Palmer Is Favorite In Milwaukee Open MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPI)-The $32,000 Milwaukee Open golf tournament began today in a new setting and under new management, but with this year's weekly favorite, Arnold Palmer, the odds-on choice to win. This year it’s the Milwaukee Open and not the Miller Open as it has been for the past five years. The Miller Brewing Co. dropped sponsorship of the tourney, and the Milwaukee Jaycees hae made it a community affair with local firms donating equipment and putting up the prize

The site also was switched to North Hills Country Club, a par 70 layout of 6,410 yards that is expected to give the 150 pros and amateurs a more severe test than last year’s Tripoli Country Club "rourse. “ *7 ; ; Palmer, of Ligonier, Pa., has won the 1960 Masters and U.S. Open, and his $73,600 in winnings is nearly twice that of his nearest competitor. On this basis alone he takes the favorite’s role, even though he has never the Milwaukee tourney. Three of the four past winners will be on hand—Cary Middlecoff, a two time winner; Ken Venturi; and Gene Littler, who is the 1959 champion. Ed Furgol, who won in 1956, is not playing.
