Prospects Are Outlined For Yellow Jackets ’ Grid Team

By Bob Shraluka (Editor’s Note: First of a series of five articles, outlining position by position, the 1963 Decatur high school football team). ' Initially, as in past years, we open this series of articles with the ends of the line — the end positions. A trio of seniors, with a fair amount of experience, are currently battling for the two starting berths, with a pair of brothers and a lanky junior, still in the running. Look for Greg Ladd, Deane Lehman and Kenny Riffle to wage a season-long battle for the two regular berths. All three are seniors, and Ladd and Riffle saw some action last season at those positions, although the departed Jim Martin and Tom Maddox were the normal regulars. Ladd has a newly-found spirit for the game, and has really looked good in early practice sessions. Shows Desire At six feet, two inches, and 175 pounds, he has the size ,to become an outstanding end — and thus far shown the desire to 'become the same. He is an all-around athlete, owns a good pair of hands and is quick for his size, the natural attributes for a good pass receiver. With some work on his blocking and defensive work, plus a continuation of the spirit and hard work he had shown thus far, he could turn into a first-rate end. Lehman is a rugged 5-11, 170pounded who could be the surprise of the entire bunch. Formally a backfield man, Lehman is new to the end position and still has a lot to learn, but a quick learner with plenty of spirit who International League Northern Division W L Pct GB Syracuse 76 65 .539 — Rochester 71 71 .500 5% Buffalo 70 70 .500 5% Toronto .... 70 72 .493 6% Richmond., 61 75 449 12% Southern Division W L Pct GB Atlanta .... 77 61 .558 — Indianapolis . 76 62 .551 1 Arkansas 74 67 .525 4% Columbus 70 68 . 507 7 Jacksonville 51 85 .375 25 Sunday’s Results Buffalo 10, Jacksonville 7.

enjoys the sport. A wrestler in the winter, Lehman is a ruggedly-built lad and with a few games under his belt at the end spot will more than likely do Tigers Sweep Double Header Over Athletics By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Ordinarily, ballplayers don’t give a hoot who’s elected manager of the year. But the Detroit Tigers are campaigning all over the American League for their personal candidate — Charlie Dressen. They honestly feel he deserves the ajvard and hope he gets it, too. He Certainly rates consideration of the job- he has done since off the job he has done since Scheffing on June 18. Detroit languished in ninth place at the time, and Charlie insisted the club could finish in the first division. There was some snickering in the audience over that statement although anyone checking the standings today will find the Tigers only a half-game out of the first division. ‘‘We heard a lot of stories about Charlie before he took over and none of them proved to be true,” says Al Kaline. “He’s really done a terrific job.” Dreisen has at that. The Tigers were limping along at a sickly .400 clip the day he became their, manager. They’ve won 37 and lost 30 for a far more impressive .552 percentage since he took over the head chair. Winners in eight of their last nine games, the Tigers extended their latest winning streak to five games Sunday with an 11-5 and 4-3 doubleheader sweep of the Kansas City Athletics. Rocky Colavito, Norm Cash and Kaline each hit homers and drove in three runs apeice in the opener as reliever Terry Fox notched his sixth victory. Dick McAuliffe then belted a three-ruri homer in the sixth inning of the nightcap to help Jim Bunning gain his, 10th triumph. ;*> The Yankees blanked the White Sox, 4-0, in the first of their two games but lost the 12-inning nightcap, 2-1; the Red Sox beat the Indians, 8-3, but Cleveland .took the 15-inning nightcap, 2-1; the Twins toppled the Orioles, 5-3, in 10 innings, and the Senators defeated the Angels, 4-1. In the National League, the Dodgers stretched their lead to 6% games with a 2-1 victory over the Braves; the Colts whipped the Cardinals, 3-1; the Reds knocked over the Giants, 8-7; the Phillies beat the Pirates, 4-2, in 11 innings, and the Cubs defeated the Mets, 3-1.

a fine job. He is a fine blocker, but as yet is untested as a pass receiver. Third Candidate Riffle, in his first varsity season last year,turned out to be a pretty fair end, especially on the defensive. Standing 5-11, Riffle is a bit on the thin side at 150 pounds, but has a good head and displayed last season that he likes the game well enough that size won’t bother him. By pass-catching standards he is still a question mark, as he didn’t play much offensively last season, but has a good pair of hands and and should be adequate. No Coasting Neither of the three seniors will be able to “coast” any, as the Smith boys, junior Jim and sophomore Ron, and junior Tom Whitaker are still battling for regular spots. None of them has any varsity experience, but have the ability to develop quickly. Whitaker is a lanky six-footer who weighs. 140 pounds, and is a hard worker. Ron Smith is one of the biggest members of the team, standing 6-3 and weighing 185, while brother Jim measures 6-1 and tips the scales at 165 pounds. In summing up, the end candidates are not a well-experienced group, but appear to he good workers with plenty of spirit, and if they continue with these assets working for them, the position should, be well-handled. (tomorrow: Ta ckles). McKinley, Ralston Win Doubles Title CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (UPI) —The United States may not take the Davis Cup away from Australia this year but at least the nation’s tennis players can boast they again hold their own national doubles championship. Young Dennis Ralston and Chuck McKinley before a record Longwood Cricket Club gallery recaptured the title Sunday from Mexicans Rafael Osuna and Antonio Palafox. All four, together with a host of others, moved on to Forest Hills, N.Y., where the U.S. national championships get rolling on Wednesday. Ralston and McKinley collecteu a strange distinction by winning their rubber match from the Mexicans since the quartet have been finalists here for the last three years. In victory, they became the first homegrown tandem to win the title twice since veterans Gardnar Mulloy and Billy Talbert aged beyond title competition just 15 years ago. Mulloy and Talbert won the 83-year-old tournament a record four times —a mark McKinley, 22, and Ralston, 21, might well have a shot at if they remain in form. Ironically, while the United States was winning the men’s championship for only the sixth time in 18 years, the nation dropped a share of the women’s crown for the first time in 27 years. Australians Margaret Smith and Robyn Ebbern became the first of their nation to take the championship by beating five time titlist Darlene Hard of Los Angeles and two-time winner Maria Bueno of Brazil. Ralston and McKinley triumphed in two hours and 40 minutes ‘ at 9-7, 4-6, 5-7,' 6-3, 11-9 while Smith and Ebbern took their title trophy, 4-6, 10-8, 6-3 in a clash that lasted one hour and 25 minutes. Six-Pound Channel Cat Caught In Pond Harry Leo McDermott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. McDermott of Decatur route, bagged a 25-inch, six-pound channel catfish ■ while fishing in a pond near Decatur Saturday.

Johnny Poll i Is Winner Os ? J Golf Classic : AKRON, Ohio (UPI) — There are two things that Johnny Pott, ’ the new champion of the American Golf Classic, likes to do: Win money and beat Arnold Palmer. I He did both Sunday. i Pott won the $9,000 first-place < money in the Classic by beating Palmer by four strokes. He shot an even par 35-35—70 in the final round Sunday over what the touring pros label the toughest golf course they have to play — the 7,165-yard Firestone Country Club layout. < For Pott, it was only the ' fourth tournament victory in his . seven years on the tour. “But it was by far my greatest,” said the 27-year-old Pott. “When you beat Palmer, you beat the greatest.” Pott, before Sunday, hadn’t won a tournament since the Waco Turner in May of 1962. Before that he had won at Dallas and West Palm Beach. Denver Next Stop Now he has set his sights on this week's Denver Open. "I’m only sorry Palmer won’t be there,” he said. “I’m going to have to beat him a lot more before I get even with the times he has beaten me.” Pott, who tied for the firstrcund lead and then led the field alone going into the third and fourth rounds — picking up $2,333 in bonus money for doing It — figured when he teed off Sunday that “I had to shoot a 68 or 69 to win.” His total %f 276 for the four rounds tied the tournament record set by Palmer when he won the Classic last year. Palmer had some consolation. His $4,600 second-place money made him the first golfer ever to go over the SIOO,OOO official money-winning mark in a single year. Palmer’s final round 37-36— 73, three over par, gave him a total of 280—exact par for the course and increased his moneywinnings to $101,555. “I just didn’t play well,” .said Palmer, who had three bogeys and not a single birdie on the final round. Boros Is Third U.S. Open champion Julius Bo- ■ ros, with a final-round 71, finished third with 281. which, was ‘ worth $3,000 and that boosted his 1 money-winnings for 1963 to $73,956. That is only behind Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, the Masters s and PGA champion, who picked up $2,200 by finishing in a tie for fifth place to increase his official earnings to $83,465. Pott’s first-place purse increased his year’s golfing gold to a total of $24,115, putting him 13th on the list. Young Dave Hill finished fourth with a 69 for 282. Then came Nicklaus and British Open champion Bob Charles at 283, folic wed by Paul Bondeson at 284 and Bobby Nichols at 285. Former PGA champion Jay Hebert, Gary Player, Tony Lerna, I Bruce Crampton and Harold Kneece finished at 286, while at 287 were Mason Rudolph and Fred Hawkins.

Junior High Grid Practice Wednesday The first Junior high football practice will be held at 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon at Worthman field. Equipment will be issued at this time. All boys trying out for the team must present their physical fitness slips at this time. Terry Baker Stars As Rams Beat Cowboys By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Will all those wiseguys who said Terry Baker was just another college hot-shot who couldn’t make it in the tough National Football League go soak their heads — both of them. Baker, the 1962 Heisman Trophy winner, returned to his hometown of Portland, Ore., for the first time as a pro quarter? back for the Los Angeles Rams Saturday night, and he wowed ’em. The 195-pound left-handed slinger, whom many figured as too frail and certainly too inexperienced to handle the job for the Rams, played the entire game and led the team to a 20-17 preseason victory over the Dallas Cowboys before 29,349 fans. Os course, it was only an exhibition game and there will be many hard knocks before Baker wins his “R” with the Rams. But at least for one night he looked great. Here’s what Baker did: — Completed a 44-yard pass play to Pervis Atkins on the first play of the final quarter for the winning touchdown; — Found his receivers, on 12 of 20 passing attempts for 192 yards — and was intercepted only once;

— Carried 16 yards on a run; — And, according to coach Harland Svare, called “99 per cent" of the plays. In other weekend NFL exhibition games, the Minnesota Vikings edged the New York Giants, 17-16, and the Cleveland Browns trounced the San Francisco Forty Niners, 24-7, both on Sunday. In Saturday night games, the Green Bay Packers walloped the Chicago Bears, 26-7; the Detroit Lions defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 22-17; the Philadelphia Eagles swamped the Washington Redskins, 41-13; and the Baltimore Colts edged the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-14. In American Football League games, the Buffalo Bills beat the Boston Patriots, 24-14, Saturday night, and the Oakland Raiders clobbered the New York Mets, 43-16, Sunday.

Work Rules Changes Posted By Railroads CHICAGO (UPI) — At least four of the nation's major railroads posted work rules change notices over the weekend, they announced today. Spokesman for the Illinois Central and Burlington Railroads said their notices of work rules changes, which brought strike threats from operating unions when posted twice in July, went up Saturday. _ . ' o Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio and Santa Fe Railroads said their notices went up “over the weekend.” Work rules changes will take effect at 12:01 am. Thursday, the notices said. The Illinois Central notified its off-train employes that in the event of a strike they would be laid off. The other lines said they had taken no action on non-oper-ating employes. Rumors that in the event of a strike the trains would stop wherever they happened to be, leaving passengers stranded, were denied by the railroads. A Baltimore and Ohio spokesman said, “We are not going to leave people stranded. When situations like this have arisen before, we have made arrangements to bring the trains in to their destinations, if necessary with supervisory personnel. We believe striking employes will bring the trains in, but we have provided supervisory personnel at crew change points in the event they don't.’’

Dodgers Gain I As Giants And Cardinals Lose By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer The first million is supposed to I be the toughest but those first I 20 aren't exactly a snap either. Ask Sandy Koufax. The frustrated Dodger south- I paw, still looking for the first 20- I game season of his career, has I come right down to the wire I twice now only to wind up with a big handful of nothing. ’ Well, not exactly nothing. The Dodge did come on to beat the Braves, 2-1, Sunday and fatten their National League lead to 6ta games over both the Cardinals and Giants, so Koufax wasn't complaining. But it did hurt a bit to come within one out of his 20th victory and his 11th shutout without achieving either. Koufax had a three-hitter and I a 1-0 lead until the ninth when Eddie Mathews doubled and then Gene Oliver doubled with two out to tie the score. Manager Walt Alston decided I to bring in Bob Miller at that point, and after Miller retired the side without further damage he picked up his ninth victory when Doug Camilli singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth with the bases full. Koufax now has allowed only two runs in the last 182-3 innings, yet does pot have a victory to show for it. He held the Cardinals to one run last Wednesday and left that I game with the score tied 1-all after 10 innings. The Dodgers won j it in the 16th, 2-1. ■ Houston beat St. Louis, 3-1, Cincinnati out-lasted San Francisco, ( 8-7, Philadelphia downed Pitts- ■ burgh 4-2. in 11 innings and Ghi- ! cago defeated New York, 3-1, in 1 other NL games. Over in the, American League, the Yankees Beat the White Sox, 4-0. but dropped the 12-inning i nightcap. 2-1, Cleveland won a 15- • inning nightcap from Boston, 2-1, after losing the opener, 8-3, De- - troit took two Yrom Kansas City, - 11-5 and 4-3, Minnesota defeated , Baltimore, 5-3, and Washington s topped Los Angeles, 4-1.
