of two of the league’s top teams, while the Dallas Texans were picked by 2 points over the improved Buffalo Bills. The favorite In each game was the visiting team. Oilers’ Lead Safe . The Oilers (5-2) have a comfortable lead in the Eastern Division standings, but the Western Division is a wide open race. Los Angeles and Denver are tied with 4-3 records, Oakland is 4-4 and Dallas 3-4. In the National Football League, .the Cleveland Browns host the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts entertain the Green Bay Packers in the leading games on Sunday’s schedule. The Philadelphia Eagles are at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Washington Redskins play the Cardinals at St Louis, the Dallas Cowboys are at home against the Los Angeles Rams, and the Detroit Lions play the Forty-Niners at San Francisco. Oddly, the AFL Chargers and Raiders are slight underdogs tonight against their eastern rivals with inferior records. The home park makes New York and Boston the favorites. Returns to Action The return of quarterback Jack Kemp to full-time duty has made Los Angeles a threat for the Western Division title. Kemp, called the best quarterback in the league by his coach, Sid Gillman, has completed an AFL high of 54.1 per cent of his passes and has been intercepted the least. New York, with a long-shot chance of overtaking Houston for the Eastern Division crown, has a strong offense led by Al Dorow, but has given up nearly as many points as it has scored. Statistically, Oakland ranks low in the league in nearly every department. But the Raiders have gone a long way on hustle and backfield depth. Coach Eddie Erdelatz has two good quarterbacks in Tom Flores and Babe Parilli, and four good running backs in Billy Lott, Jetstream Smith. Paul Larscheid and Tony Teresa. Boston has been plagued by injuries and mediocre quarterbacking. Halfback Ron Burton is injured for tonight’s game. The Patriots, with a 2-5 record, are the (only AFL club that docs not appear to have a chance for the championship. t V - Long Beach Papers Support Kennedy LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPD — The Long Beach Independent and Press Telegram newspapers Thursday gave their support to Democrat Sen. John F. Kennedy in his bid for the presidency. The newspapers endorsed President Eisenhower in 1956.

Harney To Work On Rebuilding Yankee Farms NEW YORK (UPD — Roy Harney, finally promoted to the job he has sought for 26 years, feels that continued Yankee domination of baseball will depend on a strong farm system. For Harney, named to succeed George Weiss as the New York general manager Thursday, there can be no excuse for failure. Weiss, his predecessor and longtime tutor, brought 10 pennants to New York in the 13 years he directed its operation. Anything short of tljis outstanding success on Harney’s part will come as a blow to Yankee “tradition.” To protect his newly gained job as well as the Yankee name. Harney has declared that he would work toward rebuilding the New' York farm system, which, he said, had become run down in recent years. Trades Won’t Work “We can’t win .pennants by making trades,”* Harney said. “We don’t have too many players to trade anymore and we’re not going to trade away young players. "We have hired new scouts and assigned .them to new territories. We have to be more alert. And we have to spend. I do think we can improve ourselves in that area.” Harney also indicated that the Yankees once again would enter the market for high-price bonus players, a field they have' neglected since paying SBO,OOO for a young pitcher named Ed Cereghino in 1951. Since then. New York has been reluctant to bid above .the $50,000 level. “If the present bonus rules remain in effect and high bonsues are required to secure players, then we must be competitive,” the new general manager declared. Gts Free Hand Owner Dan Topping said that Harney would have a free hand with the Yankees. “Roy will be the boss of the entire organization,” Topping said. “I will work with him but I don’t intend to interfere any more than I did with George Weiss,” Harney signed a one-year contract at his own request for an estimated $50,000. A member of the Yankee organization for 19 of his 36 years in baseball, the 58-year-old Harney previously had served as general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies, both of the National League. New Golf Tourney Slated At Akron AKRON, Ohio (UPI — A new tournament, the American Golf Classic, will offer $50,000 in prizes in its Initial competition at the Firestone Country Club Aug. 24-27, 1961. It replaces the Rubber City Open and will be strictly an invitational event limited to about 100 professionals and no more than 20 amateurs.

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Fridlj Commodores at Monroeville. Adams Central at Monmouth. Hartford at Pleasant Mills. Geneva at Marion Bennett. Make Or Break Weekend For College Teams By DICK JOYCE United Press International The first Saturday of November begins the mad dash for conference titles and lucrative bowl bids —< and that’s the situation Mturday when even the top-billed crash between lowa and Minnesota can’t monopolize the national college football picture. The first-ranked Hawkeyes and the No. 2 Gophers have much at stake as .they put their unbeaten records on the line, but its a make-or-break weekend for about a dozen more teams. Among the most important games are NavyDuke; Missouri-Colorado; Wash-ington-Southern California; Ten-nessee-Georgia; Rice - Arkansas, and Utah State-Wyoming. lowa is a slight 1% point choice to whip Minnesota for the sixth consecutive year and take a strong hbld on the national championship and the Big Ten title and further its prospects for a shot at the Rose Bowl. Scout Navy-Duke With Orange Bowl scouts on hand for the Navy-Duke contest, the third-ranked Middies attempt to slow down the Blue Devils, front-runners of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Many, given a scare by Notre Dame last week, carries a 7-0 record against Duke (5-1), which is a one-point underdog. Fourth-ranked Missouri (7-0) is a 13-point favorite to boost its Big Eight lead when it meets conference rival Colorado (5-D. Both the Tigers and the Buffaloes are 4-0 in league play. In the West Coast’s Big Five Conference, Washington’s Huakies, rated No. 7, are a threepoint choice to subdue Southern California, which will be out to win for the injured Mike McKeever. Washington and the Trojans are 2-0 in conference action. Tennessee, challenging Mississippi for the Southeast Conference lead, is a strong choice to run. r ,up another ’victory. The eighth-ranked Volunteers, who haven’t lost but were tied once this year, meet Georgia (5-2). The Rice Owls, rated No. 10, may have to scramble to hold on to the Southwest Conference lead against a tough Arkansas squad. Rice is a 2*4 point favorite to whip the Razorbacks. Extremes Meet In a battle for the Skyline Conference title, Utah State and Wyoming. proponents of the two extremes of footbal, meet head-on. The Aggies, leading the country in offense, and the Cowboys, tops in defense, carry 5-0 conference records into the game. Utah State also is among the unbeaten and untied teams. ■,

Yale tries to keep its unblemished skein alive in an Ivy League contest against Penn, and the Orangemen of Syracuse, their 16-game winning streak broken by Pitt last week, are a seven-point favorite to rebound against Army at Yankee Stadium. Also of main interest are the other Big Ten clashes — Ohio State-Indiana, Purdue - Michigan State, Michigan-Illinois, North-western-Wisconsin — and PittrtNotre Dame, Clemson-North Carolina, Kentucky-Vanderbilt, Bay-lor-Texas, Princeton - Harvard, Oregon State-Washington State.

Johnson And Cowan Named Co-Captains

Seniors Tom Johnson and John i Cowan were selected by their < teammates as co-captains for the ; 1960 Decatur Yellow Jackets foot- > ball team at a meeting of the team this week. A total of 32 letter winners were announced by bead coach Bob Worthman, with 18 seniors, six juniors and eight sophomores winning “D’s.” Johnson, a senior end, and Cowan, the team’s quarterback, were highly instrumental in the fine season enjoyed by Bob Worthman's gridders. Johnson, probably the lightest end in the conference, was outstanding on defense the whole season, permitting very little, if any, yardage to be gained around his end of the line. Johnson, a fine team player, was not only great on defense, but toward mid-season he developed into one of the outstanding pass catchers in the conference. He and Cowan were a combination that brought Decatur the long yardage and touchdowns, via the air route, all season. Johnson racked up four six-pointers and an extra point for the Decatur - ites, ranking him as the team’s second leading scorer. He was named most valuable player three times and also added two tackling awards. Leading Scorer Cowan, the team's leading scorer. crossed the end zone marker five times over the course of the season, in addition to throwing four TD passes. He did a fine job all season long of calling the right plays at the right time, besides giving Decatur one of its finest passing games in many a season. Cowan was exceptionally talented on the rollout play, passing or running, whatever could be done. He was named most valuable player in two of the games and was definitely one of the better quarterbacks and team generals in the NEIC. Letter winners were: seniors. Tom Johnson. John Cowan. Ed Nelson, Mike Drake, Ron August, Tom Grabili, Bob Theobald, Dan Poling, Tom Sharpe, Larry Macklin, Stu Knodel, Ivan Davis, Mike Affolder, Jerry Rambo, Jerry Angle, Gary Fawcett, Steve Pickford, and Ken Bleeke; juniors.

Miami, Fla., is still in the running although champion Patterson states definitely: "I would not fight in ,Miami unless the racial segregation of spectators at fights was removed.” After more than four months of bickering between Feature Sports Inc., and the Patterson group, Floyd announced Thursday, “our disagreements are 90, per cent settled.” The chief bone of contention was whether the champion should receive 50 per cent of the promotion’s receipts from theater, television, movies, radio, etc., of the I second fight with Swedish Ingemar last June. Patterson’s prefight contract guaranteed him 50 per cent. But representatives of Feature Sports later made a deal with a person whom they thought represented Patterson and his delicensed manager, Cus D'Amato, for Floyd to receive 40 per cent, instead, and Feature Sports has been holding SIOO,OOO of Floyd’s money in escrow, pending a settlement. Apparently Feature Sports has decided to give the champion his full 50 per cent because Floyd said at Thursday’s luncheon of the Boxing Writers’ Association, “I won’t come down and if they don’> give me the full 50 per cent I won't fight for them.” Fugazy's announced expectation
