Bergman resigns position, takes head job at Rose Poly
By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor Robert Bergman, head football coach at Greencastie High School for the past two years, has accepted a position as head grid mentor at Terre Haute’s Rose Polytechnic Institute. The talented young coach has resigned his position with the local school effective with the end of the school year and has already began work in the recruiting phases at the engineering school. Bergman compiled a 15-5 record in the two seasons he was at Greencastie’s helm, including a Western Indiana Conference Championship in 1966. Overall he was 8-2 in his first year and 7-3 last year, compiling a 6-0 conference mark in ‘66. His coaching experience includes assistant at Westfield High School for two years; Sheridan High School for one year; and two years at Attica High School before moving to Greencastie. He has accumulated an overall record of 25-10-3 during his coaching career. Bergman says he is very enthusiastic and optomistic over the job and comments he thinks it will be a real challenge. Rose Poly won only one game last year and has accumulated a 1218 mark over the past four years. “I don’t think we’ll be able to set the world on fire right off the bat,” he remarked, “but
we’re going to build some football teams.” “This is a chance to get my feet wet,” he said. “I’ve always
wanted to get into college football and this is my chance.” He will begin making contacts with freshmen prospects immediately. Dick Martin was the head coach at Rose for the past four years and according to Bergman he had done a good job. Before he went to Rose they had been tabbed with one of the nation’s longest losing streaks. Martin accepted a position with Washington University in St. Louis.
School Superintendent Joe Rammel commented that, “Mr. Bergman is an outstanding coach and teacher. He has an interest in all athletic endeavors and has an excellent rapport with the students. I’m sure the school board, administrative staff, and thefac-

recommendations for the job was his assistant, James McCammon. “I’ve had a real good group of boys to work with,” the coach said, “and there’s a lot of talent coming up here at Greencastie. He especially noted the undefeated freshmen crew of last year.

LAST OF THE GREAT YANKEES—Mickey Mantle, of course, who goes into his 18th year with the once-proud Bombers, sporting a career batting mark of .302 and a home run total which now stands at 518. Mickey now is fifth on the alltime list, and should pass Ted Williams and Jimmy Foxx this year to rank behind Babe Ruth and Willie Mays. Dan Gurney has choice of two new Eagles
Dan Gurney of Corona Del Mar, Cal., will have his choice of two Olsonite Eagle race cars for the 52nd annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway on May 30.

Sports Parade By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer BRADENTON, Fla. (UPI)Charlie Finley should hop a jet, hurry on down and see what he’s got here. He’s got what is shaping up as one of the finest young ball clubs around, and on second thought maybe he’d better stay where he is because the last time he decided to stick his hand in they almost had to call an emergency crew to help get It out again. Finley’s Oakland A’s could be one of the American League’s better clubs this year. Could be. That’s a lot of different than will be. The whole thing depends on one delicate little factor. Ridiculously delicate sometimes. It’s called the employer, employe relationship. In this case it’s the delicate one between Charlie and the kids who play ball for him—or don’t when they feel he’s sticking his hand, or nose, into the game too much. Charlie hasn’t been around the A’s this spring and I don’t know whether that’s a concidence, but they look good. They impress me. Not only with their work but with the way they’re going about it. Not All Forgotten It’s plain they haven’t forgotten all the bitterness of last summer. But I like the way they don’t talk about it or try to make Finley out some kind of monster. None of the players come right out and say so but it’s almost as if they got together, discussed the whole thing frontwards and backwards and finally said let’s put all the dirty laundry up in the attic and play ball. As long as the A’s have that feeling, my feeling is they have a shot at first division. A good shot. I’m not the only one impressed. Joe Dimaggio is, too. I know, he’s vice president and they're repaying him but I never heard him carry on about Yankee teams like that. Leastways not any recent Yankee teams. Do you suppose he knew something? Bob Kennedy, the A’s new manager, and Alvin Dark, their old one now with Cleveland, are two others high on the A’s. Dark likes some of Oakland’s kids so much that he told his boss, Gabe Paul, how much he likes them. That’s one of the reasons Paul came from Arizona and is in Florida now. He’d like to get a couple of those kids for Dark.
first of Gurney’s “second generation of Eagles,’’ which will differ in many respects from the original Eagles built in 1966. The other is one of the 1966 Eagles which Jochen Rindt of Austria drove at Indianapolis last May and which Gurney drove to his victory in the 300-mile Rex Mays Memorial Race at Riverside, Cal., last Nov. 26. Both cars, owned by Oscar L. Olson, were entered today by All-American Racers, Inc., of Santa Ana, Cal., and they will be powered by 305-cubic-inch Gurney-Ford engines of American stock production block design. The chief mechanics will be Wayne Leary of Anaheim, Cal., on the new Eagle and Bill Fowler; of South Laguna, Cal., on the
1966 car.
Gurney, a popular veteran on the US AC and International Grand Prix circuits, has driven in all of the last six Indianapolis events, making his best “500’’ finish in 1963 by placing seventh. Last May he moved to the head of the field on the 52nd lap to qualify for Autolite’s Indianapolis Pacemakers Club before going to the sidelines because of mechanical trouble. On June 11, however, he teamed with A. J. Foyt to win the famous Le Mans 24-hour endurance race in a Mark IV Ford and one week later he scored a record-breaking victory in the Belgian Grand Prix with a Formula 1 Eagle. Counting the two Olsonite cars, the official “Indy” list now stands at 31 and Speedway President Tony Hulman will continue to accept entries until midnight of
April 15.
Additional developments today included one driver change and the selection of drivers for two other cars entered earlier. Rick Muther of Laguna Beach, Cal. has been certified as driver of the Michner Petroleum Corporation’s 1968 Eagle, replacing Mike Mosley.
Alcindor first millon dollar baby? By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer Lew Alcindor has nothing to look forward to until next season when he closes out a brilliant college basketball career and perhaps turns into the most high-priced pro cage freshman on record. Leapin’ Lew decided to skip the heights of Mexico City as he refused entry into the Olympic basketball trials. He is resting on his latest laurels that resulted in UCLA winning another (ho hum) NCAA tourney title. Alcindor humbled headlinemaking Elvin Hayes in this year's tourney the way he handled Don May of Dayton in the 1967 championships. He was merely exercising his right of proving who is the greatest. UCLA walloped Hayes’ Houston crew 101-69 in a Friday night NCAA semi-final showdown and then waltzed to its fourth tourney title in five years by crushing North Carolina 7855 Saturday night. Alcindor greased the Tar Heels skid with 34 points. May, escaping another encounter with Alcindor when Dayton was selected for the National Invitation Tournament, capitalized on his freedom by leading the Flyers to a 61-48 title win over Kansas Saturday. It was Dayton’s second NIT title and marked the seventh time the Ohio school had reached the tourney final. May was voted the most valuable player and undoubtedly sharpened his bargaining power with the pros as he led a second half Dayton attack with 17 of his 22 game points. With May graduating, Dayton will have a rebuilding job for the 1968-69 season. Not so at UCLA, where Alcindor returns for his senior year. Also returning for the Bruins are Lynn Shackelford, who killed the opposition in the recent tourney with his overland shooting, and Lucius Allen, the hard-driving guard who demoralized the enemy from the inside. The UCLA trio helped set an NCAA record with the widest victory margin ever recorded in a tourney final. The previous high was Ohio State’s 20-point margin over California in 1960, 75-55. Overall, UCLA was a tremendous drawing crowd for the tourney. More than a million television viewers watched the Bruins avenge an earlier to defeat to Houston in their semifinal battle. The Cougars’ sole consolation was Hayes’ 70 field goals in five games that broke the record of 65 Princeton’s Bill Bradley established in 1965. Another Bradley mark created that year was the high of 177 points. Hayes came within 10 points of that figure and only a stubborn defense by UCLA, which held him to 10 points, prevented the “Player of the Year” from setting a new scoring standard. Bradley now owns a $500,000 contract with the New York Knickerbockers. Hayes is sure to command a pretty good salary when he turns pro. But all eyes are on Alcindor’s college career closeout that could produce the first million dollar deal in pro basketball.
