Booster Club Meets

Officers of the Decatur high school Booster dub met last night at the Decatur Daily Democrat office to make plans tor the coming football season. Local Ford dealer Harry Schwartz appeared at the meeting and asked the dub to help again this year on the Ford punt, pass and kick contest. Boster club members helped handle the local Optimists Hear Yeoman Today Decatur high school head football coach Wally Yeoman spoke to members of the Decatur optimist dub at their weekly meeting this morning and promised them that this season’s record would be even better than last year’s creditable 6-3 mark. He -told the group that one of the biggest problems he faces is filling the gaps left by last year’s graduation. Speaking of athletics in general,, he said the sports are an important facet of high school education — especially in improving mental attitude and teaching sportsmanship. Reviewing this year’s schedule, Yeoman told the group that he and the team are especially anxious to avenge the defeats suffered last year. He said that he is satisfied with the brand of competition ■which the team faces in the Northeastern Indiana conference. Yeoman mentioned the possibility of holding an “open house” practice to give Yellow Jacket fas an opportunity to see their team working to prepare for the weekly contests.

He said that all the awards plaques, which will be presented to winners across the nation, are being made for Ford by Decatur Industries. The group also made plans for. the annual, Booster club membership drive. Booster club president Dick Reidenbach appointed Bill Linn as chairman of the drive. Tickets have already been printed and will go on sale today. In planning the annual season end tootball banquet the group decided to try to make arrangements for a speaker from the Chicago Bear football team.

Packers “Scrimmage” Giants

By United Press International The only thing missing at the Green Bay Packers’ St. Norbert <Wis.) college training camp Wednesday was sub-zero weather, gloves, and woolen , caps. Even Y. A.

- the WHAMfMY)Hannon Killebrew has been putting the whammy on opposing pitchers with his big batall season. The Minnesota Twins’ leftfielder boasts a substantial lead over all other hitters in both leagues for home run honors.

Bay’s highly touted rookie from Nebraska and 15 years Title’s junior, imitated the Giants’ 37year -old quarterback. Coach Vince Lombardi worked his offense against the Giants’ defense and defensed the Giant offense. Claridge showed little indication that the injury he suffered with toe College All - Stars was bothering him as he ran well playing halfback, and passed well behind Bart Starr and Zeke Bratkowski. At the Giants’ Fairfield, Conn., camp, coach Allie Sherman was having trouble finding 11 men healthy enough to avenge last year’s 24-17 exhibition loss to the Packers. Sherman inserted Phil King, who missed toe opening exhibition due to an injury, at fullback. Dick James, King and Title fill three quarters of the Giants backfield for Saturday’s game, but the doubtful performers number Del Shofner, Aaron Thomas, Frank Gifford and Joe Walton. In a move to try all his talent, St. Louis Cardinals coach Wally Lemm might use Buddy Humphrey at Quarterback in Saturday’s game- against ID** nesota. Lemm released Dave Hoover and John Wittenborn, reducing his squad to 49 ... Buddy Parker sent his Pitt** burgh Steelers through a light workout Wednesday as he prepared them for their game with Philadelphia Friday night .. . Los Angeles Rams center Ken Iman suffered a compound fracture of his ankle and will be sidelined eight weeks. The Rams dropped free agent Jim Irwin.

Parseghian Hopes For Winning Year

By ED SAINSBURY UPI Sports Writer CHICAGO (UPI) — Ara Parseghian hopes for a winning season in his “freshman year” at Notre Dame, but the new coach of the Fighting Irish could use a bit of Leprechaun’s luck to produce a winning season. “I told e the players we were freshmen ’together,” Parseghian said in a pre-season conference. “Me as a coach and they as players to me, because until our spring practice, they were only names to me. And after 20 days of spring practice, it’s difficult to evaluate our talent.” \ / Parseghian said. flatly he would platoon A's much as the new substitution rule allows, but that he feared the situation where a quick turnover could catch him with only part of bis offensive team on the field in possession of the ball or part of his defensive team in action when the other team has possession. . | ■ ’ Major Leagues a————™ $ By United Pre»« International National Leanne .

. “I have been an advocate of platoon football,” he said. “There's enough of a gimmick in this rule that it could be disastrous.” Still he has worked toward offensive - defensive units in what practice his Irish havebeen permitted, and he said the strategy of the game would be dictated by the physical condition of his No. 1 offensive quarterback, John Huar te. If Huarte’s healthy, Parseghian wants the ball; if he isn’t, he’ll gladly give it to his opponent. Huarte, who missed spring practice with a shoulder injury, is “85 or 90 per cent whole,” Parseghian said. “He’s our greatest threat, if he’s ready. Os course he’s no Tom Myers (his star passer at Northwestern), but he can throw." Parseghian said his major concern was his offensive backfield where an injury to fullback Joe Kantor may have hurt since it forced him to rely on Joe Farrell, at least until he learns Kantor can [day. |T“We could wind up vyith Nick xEddy, who’s been hurb at one. ■halfback and Bill Wolsli at the irakt. “Wolski is a workhorse, who’s solid and tough, but he’s no breakaway Kirtner who’s going to go 90 Sards for youi He’U give you three or four on every play.” Parseghian anticipated that five sophomores would help the Irish, end Don Gmitter, tackles Kevin Hardy, Tom Regner, and Alan Page, and defensive back Jim Lynch. Otherwise he had veterans he felt he could rely on for the line positions on both offense and and defense with linebackers Jim Carroll, Lynch and Pete Duranko perhaps a strong point and his defensive backfield perhaps questionable. “We have to be well prepared and not flat for any game,” he said, “because one thing we know. Nobody is going to be flat against us. “Our . problemsarespeed, lack of a breakaway runner, at quarterback and bac kf i eld depth, while our strong points are size and spirit.

Koufax Notches 18th Win; Orioles Trip Red Sox, 7- 0

By MILTON RICHMAN OTI Spart* Writer Sandy Koufax has a shot at becoming the National league’s first 30 - aame winner in 30 years but all he wants to do is talk about his hitting-. That's precisely what he did Wednesday night immediately after recording his 13th victory by pitching the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Sandy calculated he has 13 more starts left this season and , that naturally raised the question whether he felt he could match Dizzy Dean's 30 victories of 1934. Koufax replied “no predictions,” then promptly steered the conversation toward his hitting. To keep the record straight, when it comes to pitchers there are none better than the darkhaired Dodger left - hander; but when it comes to hitting, there are few worse. Dwells On Hitting Nevertheless, he loves to dwell on his hitting. “I really thought I had it-to-night,” he said smugly. He was talking about hit hitting, not his pitching. v Koufax hit a screamer into the left field screen with the bases full off loser Jim O’Toole in the fourth inning but the blow was foul by two feet. Then he struck out. “Too bad you didn't make it,” chimed in Manager Walt Alston. "No one’s hit a grand slam for us all year.” Tiat was all the encouragement Sandy needed. “Did you know I hit a homer off (Warren) Spahn in 1962?” he inquired. “And I hit another one of (Denny) LeMas- ' ter last year. I’m trying to make it an annual affair. I sure would’ve liked to got one tonight.” Oh well, you can’t have everything. • As it was, Koufax ruined Cincinnati Manager Fred Hutchinson’s 45th birthday party, held . at home plate before the game, and would have had a shutout too had it not been for Deron Johnson’s 17th homer in the seventh inning. By that time, the Dodgers > -were home free. They capital-

much better talking point this coming winter, though. If things get a little sticky, he can tell the Baltimore front office how his bat kept Ute club atop the American League during those August deg - days when both the White Sox and Yankees were breathing down the Orioles' backs. Bdwens will be telling the gospel truth. He now has belted sou homers in the past five days and his 15th and 16th of the season not only powered the Orioles to a 7-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox Wednesday night but aslo stretched their league lead to two games. Bowens, who is batting a solid .282 and has taken over the regular right field job, might have had a shot at rookie of the year honors were it not for Minnesota’s spectacular Tony Oliva but that doesn’t concern him too much. What pleases him most is that he’s supplying the big bat in Baltimore’s lineup at the moment although he’s at a loss to offer any particular reason, i “You can't explain when I you’re doing good or bad,” he said after his performance against the Red Sox Wednesday night. "Right now everything seems to be coming down the middle. Everything looks good when you’re hot. And when you’re cold, the same pitches can make you took like a monkey.” That was quite a speech for the muscular Wilmington, N.C., native who ordinarily limits his conversation to a simple yes or no, or even a nod when that will do. Throws Five - Hitter Bowens' pair of homers were more than enough for Milt Pappas, who set down the Red Sox on five hits and never permitted a Boston base - runner past second in turning in his ilth victory against five defeats. Ed Connolly (2-9) was the loser. The Yankees, who meet the Orioles for the last time this year in a three-game series starting Friday night at Baltimore, beat the White Sox 7-3 Wednesday, Detroit defeated Minnesota - 64. Washington downed Kansas City, 4-3, and Los Angeles topped Cleveland
