Injuries Plague Rams, Bears; AFL Teams Cutting Rookies

By United Press International Harland Svare and George Halas have got something in common but they can. get along just fine wouthout it. * Svare, who took over as head coach of the Los Angeles Rams in midseason last year and guided the Rams to a M record after they lost their first five in a row, was jubillant after Saturday’s victory over the Dallas Cowboys. But his cause for joy was not long lived as the Rams were felled by three injuries in two days. First string defensive back Ben Scotti will be sidelined with a broken wrist for three weeks and center Ken Iman broke his ankle. Both injuries occurred Tuesday. On Monday, the Rams lost the services of top rookie John Mims, a defensive end, who will be out eight weeks with torn ligaments. Karras Injured Although the Bears are not as injury ridden as the Rams, Halas will miss the services of veteran guard Ted Karras for three weeks with a broken toe. Several NFL coaches made changes in their lineups for various reasons in preparation for this week’s exhibition games. Allie Sherman, New York Giants coach, hamstrung by injuries to Frank Gifford, Del Shofner and Aaron Thomas, switched some backfield assignments for Saturday’s tilt with Green Bay. Louis Guy, a safety man, will play at flanker, Joe Morrison, a flanker, will move to split end, and rookie Homer Jones, who had been working at split end, will also move to the flanker spot. Norm Van Brocklin shook up his Minnesota Vikings by moving All-America tackle Carl Eller to defensive end, rookie Hal Bedsole to flanker, Jerry Reichow to tight end, Ted Dean to half-back, rookie Bill McWaers to fullback and Milt Sunde and Palmer Pyle to guard for their game with St. Louis. B Switches To Defense Tom Brown, who quit the Washington Senators organization this year, Tuesday was moved from offensive to defensive halfback by Packers Coach Vince Lombardi. Lombardi also moved tackle Lloyd Voss, the Packers’ top draft pick, from offense to defense. Cardinals Coach Wally Lemm, hoping for his second victory of the pre-season campaign, replaced the injured Bobby Joe Conrad with rookie Willis Crenshaw for Saturday’s game against the Vikings. Crenshaw impressed Lemm after his keen performance in the All - Star game, but the Cards coach says, “he’s got a lot to learn.” The San Francisco Forty Nmers cut Dennis Almquist, Larry Rawson, Pete Archibald, Kail Finch and Mike Carboni. . . Thunderstorms washed out the Detroit Lions scheduled practice Tuesday. . .The Pittsburgh Steelers engaged in a tow hour workout and scull sessions in preparation for their opening exhibition clash with Philadelphia ... Willie Richardson and Bob Boyd looked good in the Baltimort Colts’ scrimmage. No matter what happens hereout in the American Football League, last weekend’s exhibition games have made their purpose clear to the rookies they separate the quick from the dead. The AFL coaches tend to muddle the purpose of the games with a lot of monologue on their being opportunities for experience, but ask the kids who took the bus home Tuesday about it. So the youngster who was a mite slow on a key defensive play or who missed a blocking assignment went home. The cut wasn't a shock; in most cases he knew he was finished wfien he left the field. Maybe he only slipped up on two plays, but then, he was only in the game for six. *

Oilers Cut Four The Houston Oilers cut two backs and two linemen from their squad Tuesday, including a big-bonus rookie and a high draft choice. Released were defensive end John Varnell of West Texas State, a fifth round draft choice and one of the Oilers’ expensive bonus babies; defensive back Jerry Cook of the University of Texas, a third round draft choice in 1963 and a member of the Oilers’ “taxi” squad last season; defensive tackle Rick Johanningmeier of Southwest Missouri State, and defensive back Andy Anderson of Texas Lutheran. The New York Jets trimmed their roster to 47 men after reviewing the films of their defeat by the Buffalo Bills at Tampa, Fla. last Saturday night.

young man 22 years old stunned the racing world by winning the famed Indianapolis “500.’? He was the youngest driver ever to win the coveted Memorial Day classic. That “young man” retired the ironical reason that “it’s time to make way for the younger fellows.” * And so, 34-year-old Troy Ruttman bowed out of the profession he devoted all of his adult life to. “I discussed this at some length with my wife and we made the decision,” he stated at his Dearborn home. “I love racing, it’s been wonderful to me. But, I think it’s time to retire—while I’m still ahead of the game.” Thus, it would appear that recent accidents in the racing world influenced Ruttman’s decision.

The defending Eastern Division champs, the Boston Patriots, began diagnosing the cause of their 38-7 dunking at the hands of the Houston Oilers last Sunday.

lis two drivers, including one of Ruttman’s close friends Eddie Sachs, were killed. Later at Terre Haute, Ind., another Michigan driver. Johnny White from Warren, was badly injured while driving a sprint car. During his long career in racing Ruttman was involved in many accidents, the worst occurring Aug. 18, 1952, at Cedar Rapids, lowa, when a steering gear broke on his sprint car. He suffered a broken arm and a concussion and was laid up for a year and a half. “Racing is a young man’s sport,” Ruttman said. “I’m not so young anymore, and then I’ve got my wife and children to think about, too. “It’s simply better for everyone involved that I give up racing. But, I would like to keep my hand in it, perhaps in an advisory capacity.” » r; i Ruttman operates the Troy Rqftman Enterprises in Dearborn, which include motorcycle and go-kart businesses. Hiis year his racing was iindH ited to the “500” and the Trefiton “100.” His best finish since his 1952 triumph was in 1954 when he placed fourth. During his career in racing Ruttman saw many of his friends killed on the track, including Bill Vukovich, Jimmy Bryan, Tony Bettenhausen, Pat O’Connor and Ed Elisian. “It doesn’t take much to be a race driver,” Ruttman added., “It’s as simple as ABC. It just takes ability, brains and courage.” He might have added common sense. Like he said, hp’s quitting while he’s ahead of the game. Others didn’t and lost their lives.

Phillies Bemoan Rojas' Loss; Orioles Victors Over Red Sox

By MILTON RICHMOND DPI flHrto Writer Someone’s always taking the fun out of life, even for the first place Philadelphia Phillies. Ordinarily, they would figure to be a happy pennant-bound crew today with a nice new winning streak of four games and a comfortable three-game lead over the rest of the National League. You’d think they’d have a lot to laugh and joke about following Tuesday’s 13-5 romp over die Chicago Cubs, in which Johnny Callison collected a grand slam homer and two doubles and newly-acquired Frank Thomas chipped in with three doubles. But they were a rather grim lot after the victory because they realized it could have been their most costly one of the season. The reason for their dejection primarily was an injury to Cookie Rojas, who has been the unsung hero of the club all year. And as if that wasn’t enough of a crusher, Rojas* center field replacement, Tony Gonzalez, wound up at the same hospital. Doing Well Manager Gene Mauch says “There are no words to describe the kind of job Rojas has done for us.” Nor are there any words to describe Mauch’s anguish when he saw Rojas run into the Centerfield wall in the third inning while trying to collar Joe Amalfintano’s triple. Rojas jammed both wrists, necessitating a ride downtown to a Chicago hospital. He was released but Gonzalez, struck on his helmet by a Dick Ellssworth pitch in the sixth, was kept at the hospital overnight for observation. That took a lot of the joy out of the Phillies’ victory which went to John Boozer, whose record now is 2-2. Ellsworth who was hammered for 11 hits, including Callison's 19th homer, in 5 1-3 innings, suffered his 14th setback against 12 wins. Giants Three Baek San Francisco remained three games off the pace with a 6-3 victory over St. Louis, Milwaukee defeated Hous tori, 9-6, Cincinnati beat._ Los Angeles, 4-2, ahd "the New York Mets outlasted the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 in a game called because of rain in the eighth inning.

10 years ago because he was too big. He stood Meet-7, weighed 165 pounds at the age of 12 and they were afraid he might kill someone. -- They were right, because American League pitchers will tell you he’s killing them now. Reason For Lead At 22, the 6-feet-3, 235-pound Powell is the big reason the Orioles lead the pack by one : game today. He drilled his 30th homer with one on deep into the left field bu 11 pe n at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium Tuesday night to break a 6-6 tie and power the Orioles to an 8-7 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Powell’s shot off loser Dick Radatz (10-7) in the seventh inning .was the last of three Baltimore homers and enabled reliever Dick Hall to register his eighth win in nine decisions. Sam Bowens contributed his 14th homer and Brooks Robinson his 16th, each blow coming with a man aboard. Elsewhere in the American League, the Chicago White Sox. who had dropped 10 in a row to the New York Yankees, swept a day-night doubleheader from them 6-4 and 8-2; the Cleveland Indians blanked the Los Angeles Angels 3-0; Minnesota snapped Detroit’s sevengame winning streak 5-3, and Washington knocked over Kansas City 5-2.
