fession.il competition to even high school and lower. It takes a lot of money to keep an athletic team of any kind in operation. Football -is especially expensive in all phases due to the tremendous outlay of cash for the necessary equipment to protect the players and equip a team properly. This is one reason such a big play is made to attract all the interest to football starting with the middle of Julv. The more interest, the better the pate receipts when the time comes. PRO FOOTBALL HAS grown by leaps and bounds the past decade. The interest of the game has a ’vanced with the heavy coverage oT^TX\ Now millions of fans can nama. player after player when just 2ft years ago the names of the outstanding performers were known, but the lesser plavers and espeeialh the linemen didn't get that kind of recognition. People have grown to know and recognize defense in this garni .and not ju<t the f.dlow- xvho nul the scores on the hoard. Tam m* n still may not get the puMieitv of- .hlinnv Unitns nr FMrt Starr, but everyone xvho follows the game are aware of their pro^rmre “ and often the defensive teams get that standing ovation from the croxv is after several fine trips t< the field. A goal line stand in particular rates the cheers and applause of the fans. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS competition between various sports, thev work together in manx' respect<- tn h*ln each other. The National Football league thm v»ar h ‘C a nexv format, runn’n^ four division^. t"-n in each hal* - of th. loami- thi« makin” a nl e-off between the four team rto-isinn winners before the two hah’e^ meet f< »■ the title. Then comes the nowh' formed interb.n.m. f h-mnb n , - b, n knexxm As to, e,. tl - r b •'■! Tb>< more to th. competition and wo might

ad \ to the pocket of the teams and league in money. Television rights alone for something like this soar into the millions of dollars for the leagues. EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW structure for the NFL isn't copie I after the plavoffs in hockey or pro basketball, it will give two more teams a chance after the regular season plav L still xvin a championship. Often teams will have a very strong half season or be crippled for a short while during the season and n< w will have a chance to come back and take the top honors. BASEBALL WAS RATHER suddcnlx- hit with this possibility this year as xvdl as th" American League proposed the forming of two divisions with the winn-'s to meet for the right t< repros nt their lenmie in the worl 1 series. This caused a lot of c< px 1 to be written. b< th pro and con, but action vi<n't taken at this time due to the complete surprise of this motion be the American Famie. However, a little extra interest hero an ’ there might help baseball in this respect. TN TALKING BASEBALL, one cannot cverksik the very strange turn of events over the week end. The center of attraction was in Chicago where the White Sox were hosting the Detroit Tiger. Wih four teams acuallv tied in the games behind column when the Tigers moved into Chicago, it looked as if one of these two teams could get hot, the other might be eliminated. Fridax' night’s game went to Detroit without much doubt. Then came the beginning of the real fireworks. THE SOX TOOK WHAT looked to he a comfortable lead into the ninth innine of Saturday's game, 3-0. as Garx- Peters was firing the hall beautifullx' ps^t the Detroit hitters. Then wham, all of a sudden Detroit ha ’ scored seven bi” runs in the ninth to md onlx' xxdn the gam<> but it w< nld seem to get the lift thex’ e eded to r< ill' - pot them Into full motion for the n -nnnnt On the other hand, this kind of a loss cor) I be |-o-”.>r from th< moral standpoint than the won and 1 st side of thin is for Chicago. HOWEVER THE COMPLETE reversal of this came about Sunday when Joe Horb-n put the Sox right back in the thick of things xvith his no hitter. Then add to that the fact that the Sox were able o sweep the twin bill with another shutout in the second game, what had appeared to get a preced' nt one way on Saturdax - found it compb * 1 I” reversed <»n Sund’v. ft still looks tn m< c t that y T mnesot > is the team t<> beat. Thex- pnioy a one loss pxargin after Sunday’s pla\’ over the next closest team. This loss c< himn i 'be one tn wat<*h. Once a garni L lost it is gone forever, but if it hasn't been plaved. the chance of xvinninq it is stdl there. This last two and a hal f w. <k« o f baxchaH in the American league should be the greatest This kind of a race is the best thing to happen to the game in many years.
