Saints want talent in the worst way

IHSAA COACHING SCHOOL Indiana University — Aug. 5-6-7-8, 1968

By STU CAMEN UPI Sports Writer Wanted: Professional football stars dissatisfied with their present place of employment. Wait one year, don’t sign a contract and then contact either Head Coach Tom Fears or General Manager Vic Schwenk of the New Orleans Saints. The Saints, one-year members of the National Football League, began their initial campaign in 1967 with only one proven offensive star, Jim Taylor, long a mainstay of the Green Bay Packers’ backfield. The Saints acquired Taylor’s services after the former Louisiana State star played out his option with the Packers when he could not agree on financial terms with Green Bay General Manager Vince Lombardi. Parks joins Saints The NFL’s youngest member will now begin its sophomore season with another proven star, end Dave Parks, who joined the Saints via the same route as Taylor. The Saints announced Wed-

nesday that Parks, an AHAmerica selection in 1963 while at Texas Tech and a four-year NFL veteran, has signed a multi-year contract with the New Orleans club after playing out his option with the San Francisco Forty Niners. Terms of Parks’ contract were not announced, but he figured to come a little cheaper than Taylor, who reportedly received a four-year pact calling for $400,000. Toledo Out Highly touted Bob Toledo, one of the nation’s top collegiate passers last season at San Francisco State, got his walking papers from the Forty Niners Wednesday. A club spokesman said the 5-foot-9 Toledo completed only one pass in six attempts during a scrimmage Tuesday against the Dallas Cowboy rookies and was out. manned by the pro-style defenders. In a couple of deals, the

Vikings sent eight-year veteran defensive back Brady Keyes to the St. Louis Cardinals and the Oakland Raiders, champions of the American League, received defensive tackle Rich Zecher from the Cincinnati Bengals in return for an undisclosed choice in next year’s college player draft. Cornerback Nemiah Wilson, obtained by the New York Jets from the Denver Broncos only last week, announced he plans to play out his option; the Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran defensive backs Alvin Raymond and Nate Ramsay and nine-year veteran tackle Ron Mix sorked out with the San Diego Chargers at Escondido, Calif., for the first time since he suffered a severe case of influenza two weeks ago.

Pont was the choice for all Coach-of-the-Year honors after taking lightly regarded Indiana in his third season to a 9-1 record, a Big Ten co-champion-ship and to the Hoosiers’ first selection to the Rose Bowl. A highly successful coach at Miami and Yale before coming to Ind-

5-6) football clinic and the Wed- iana in 1965, Pont ranks 23rd Abernathy gives Reds new hope

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Manager Dave Bristol has an underhanded reason for insist, ing his Cincinnati Reds should still be regarded as serious National League pennant contenders. The reason is Ted Abernathy, a 35.year.old much-traveled submarine ball relief pitcher, who is compiling an eye-popping record during a season in which remarkable pitching performances have been commonplace. The 6-foot, 4-inch righthander from Stanley, N.C., has appeared in no fewer than 45 games and sports a 7-1 record and a glittering 0.79 earned run average. He has allowed seven earned runs in 80 innings and prevented a Cincinnati staff plagued by sore arms from falling apart completely. Ol’ Abby, as he is known by his teammates, pitched 1 2-3 innings of shutout relief to earn his seventh victory of the season Wednesday night when the Reds ended a seven-game losing streak with a 7-4 triumph

over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The victory enabled the Reds to gain ground on all four teams currently ahead of them, including the first-place St. Louis Cardinals who were leading 6-0 behind Bob Gibson when their game with the San Francisco Giants was rained out after four complete innings. Cubs, Phillies Split The Chicago Cubs scored an 8-4 triumph and then lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 8-0, the Houston Astros defeated the Atlanta Braves 5-2 and the New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 after losing 8-2 in other National League games. In the American League, the Oakland Athletics edged the Detroit Tigers 3-2, the Boston Red Sox shaded the Minnesota Twins 6-5, the Chicago White Sox stopped the Baltimore Orioles 1-0, the Washington Senators nipped the New York Yankees 2-1 and the Cleveland Indians defeated the California Angels 4-2.

among the nation’s coaches in winning percentage, despite two rough starting years at LU. Rodgers, a native of Atlanta, Ga., and a quarterback at Georgia Tech in a period in which the Yellow Jackets posted a 30-2-1 record and three bowl victories, established himself as one of the top young coaches by taking Kansas in his first year to a second-place tie in the Big Eight. He was an assistant at Georgia Tech, Virginia, Hamilton Air Force Base, Air Force Academy, Florida and UCLA before his appointment at Kansas in 1967. Etchison, named Indiana high ischool Coach-of-the-Year after his 1967 Richmond team went undefeated and was voted mythical state champion, has posted a 15-year record of 104-37-7. In all, he’s had four undefeated Red Devil teams and five North Central Conference champions since he took over from Bill Elias, now Navy coach, in 1953. Johnson is a veteran of 31 years as Speedway coach. In that span he’s fielded six undefeated teams, won nine Mid-State Conference titles and tied for six others and posted an overall record of 209-58-8. Miller, whose Hawkeyes shared the Big Ten basketball title with Ohio State last season, has a string of 16 consecutive winning seasons going. Not since his first collegiate season at Wichita State has he failed to win more than he lost, accounting for a 17-year record, of 283167. At Iowa for the last four seasons his teams have gone 63-34 and the 35-21 record in Conference play for those years is the league’s best. A leading exponent of the pressure defense, Miller was an All-Big Eight forward on K a n s a s’ Conference champs in 1940, as well as a fine runner and passer in foot-

ball. Mallard c a p p e d a brilliant four-sport coaching career at Gary Roosevelt this year with the state basketball title. In 11 years his teams won eight city titles, eight sectionals, fourregionals and two semistates before going all the way last spring. His overall won-lost record is 233-48. Elsewhere, in football Roosevelt teams went 67-19-3 over ten years, track teams won three state crowns and crosscountry teams one state championship. Theofanis, one of Indiana’s outstanding young coaches, has won the Indianapolis sectional and regional the last two years and got to the final game this year. Including six seasons at Avon High School his career record stands at 143-96. Bolyard, a star on Ft. Wayne South Side’s state champs of 1958, was an All-Big Ten forward at Indiana and one of the Hoosiers’ all-time greats. After graduate work he served as an assistant at Fort Wayne North Side, which went to the 1965 finals. He was appointed freshman coach at LU. that summer. Hutsell, a former I.U. wrestler, has coached teams in three years at Grandville, Mich., and five years at Bloomington High to a combined record of 89-12-1 and produced seven individual state champs. Peery, a three-time NCAA champion at Pittsburgh, has coached Navy grapplers to a Sole mark since taking over in 1960. Last year's 9-0 record was the first undefeated season for a Navy team in 20 years and that Middle team won Peery his first Eastern Championship. Peery comes from a wrestling family which has acquired nine NCAA crowns. His father, Rex Peery, won three at Oklahoma State and later coached Ed at Pitt.
