Hartford Center Opens Season Friday, Nucleus Os Lettermen Returning

The Hartford Center Gorillas open their season Friday with a bright outlook toward the upcoming season. Adams county’s “oldest” mentor in terms of length of service, Tom Agler will send his Gorillas against Pleasant Mills on the Spartan’s court Friday evening. In his eighth year at Hartford, Agler has a better than average amount of experience in his 196263 charges, and some size, with four boys over six foot tall. Although there are only approximately 25 boys in the Hartford Center school, Agler is well known in this county and surrounding areas for his ability to pull off the big upsets. A trio of three lettermen give the Ball State graduate a good nucleuas with which to improve on 1 last season’s record of four wins and 14 losses. Top Scorer Returns Ron Habegger, a 6-2, 160 pounder, who led the team in scoring last season, returns for his senior year. A jump-shooter who has already won three basketball letters, Habegger should improve over his average of slightly under 13 points a game last season. Dave Runkel, a 6-foot, 175-pound rugged center, was the team's leading rebounder last season, and also returns this year for his final season. One of the better rebounders in the county last season, Runkel can hold his own with taller boys, and should hike his scoring total this year. Loren Wanner is the third member of the trio which will make the Gorillas an improved ball club this winter. A six-footer weighing 170 pounds, Wanner was a fine allaround backcourt man for Agler last season and assumes the role of the team’s quarterback, although only a junior this season. Backcourt Duties Habegger, Runkel and Warner wUTmori than lakely be in the fftwl court, with two other returning lettermen taking over full-time backcourt duties. Christy Stauffer, 5-7, 140 pounds, and Jerry Alberson, 5-10 and 140 pounds, give the Gorillas experience at the guard positions, in addition to scoring punch. Both are only juniors. Agler is lean on experience in the substitute department, which is usual, but has a potentially strong bench headed by 6-2 Dave Fox, a 200 pound junior. Inexperienced Bench Fox is considered a “sleeper” by Agler, whose improvement could make the Gorillas a strong ball club. Another boy termed a sleeper by Agler is Jon Studebaker, a 5-10, 140 pound freshman. Jim Meshberger, 6-1 and 160 pound, a sophomore, gives Agler added height, while 5-7 Dav Fields, 5-10 Don Martin, and 5-2 Mike Spichiger, are further bench strength, although none has earned previous letters. Fields and Martin are juniors, while Spichiger is only a freshman. The veteran coach rates his opening game against Pleasant Mills as one of the toughest on the schedule, along with Berne, Monmouth Madison Twp., Adams Central and Crestview, O. The Gorillas will be out to avenge a 55-52 Pleasant Mills win in last season’s opener. The Quality Photo Finishings All Work Loft Beforo Ready Wednesday . at 10 a. m< Holthouse Drug Co.

Redskins Are Handed First Season Loss By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sparta Writer Y. A. Tittie of the New York Giants shares a record pedestal with Sid Luckman today, the Washington Redskins have been jarred back to the harsh realities of life in the National Football League and the Green Packers remain in a class by themselves. Tittie, 35-year-old “bald eagle’’ who appears to improve with each season, tied the league record of seven touchdown passes Sunday and became the second NFL player ever to throw for more than 500 yardsin one game as the Giants handed the Redskins their first defeat, 49-34. The champion Packers, meanwhile, scored their seventh straight victory by beating the Baltimore Colts, 17-6, and unless some team stops them soon, they’ll go through the first undefeated NF. season in 20 years. Lions Lone Challenger The Detroit Lions emerged the lone serious challenger to the Packers in the Western Division when they defeated the Chicago Bears, 11-3, in a game devoid of a single touchdown. There were two big Sunday upsets, the Los Angeles Rams scoring their first victory of the season by beating the San Francisco Forty Niners, 28-14, and the St. Louis Cardinals putting a damper on the Dallas Cowboys’ contending hopes with a 28-24 setback. In other games, the Cleveland Browns clobbered the Pittsburgh Steelers, 41-14, and the Minnesota Vikings made it two in a row with a 31-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. To get back to Tittle, the man of the day “Yat” completed 27 of 39 passes for a total of 505 yards in a remarkable demonstration of aerial artistry that enabled him to tie the 7-touchdown record set by Luckman with the Bears in 1943 and matched by Adrian Burk of the Philadelphia Eagles in 1954. The only NFL player who ever passed for greater yardage was Norm Van Bocklin, who gained 554 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in a game in 1951. Joe Walton caught three of Tittle’s TD tosses, Joe Morrison grabbed two and Del Shofner and Frank Gifford one each before a crowd of 62,844 at Yankee Stadium. Shofner was Tittle’s most efficient target, however, catching 11 passes that gained 269 yards. Retain First Place The Skins, who retained first place in the Eastern Division despite the defeat, scored the first touchdown of the game and twice pulled to within one point of the Giants, /t 14-13 and 21-20. As for the Packers .... They struggled at close quarters with the Colts for three periods of a rough game before Jim Taylor’s 36-yard touchdown run gave them easier breathing. With the score tied at 3-3 in the second period, quarterback Bart Starr put Green Bay ahead by firing a 25-yard TD pass to Ron Kramer. Dick Bielski narrowed the Packers’ lead to. 10-6 in the third period with his second 34*yard field goal o fthe game before a crowd of 57,966 at Baltimore. At Detroit, a crowd of 53,342 watched Wayne Walker kick field goals of 17, 43 and 38 yards for the Lions. Detroit’s only other score came when tackle Alex Karras tackled Bears quarterback Billy Wade behind the goal line for a safety in the third

After Jim Ninowski left the game in the second period with a dislocated left shoulder, Frank Ryan took over and passed tor two Cleveland scores. The win left the Browns in contention with a 4-3 record. 1 Tommy Mason had a big day in Minnesota’s win over the Eagles. He scored three touchdowns, two of them on 74 and 8 yard passes from Fran Tarkenton. The Eagles rallied to cut Minnesota’s lead to 24-21 on an 80-yard pass from Sonny Jurgensen to Tim brown before Tarkenton hit Mason with the shorter of their two scoring passes.
