Undergoes operation Nick Eddy still on disabled list

By JOE CARNICELLI UPI Sports Writer Nick Eddy took an ill>fated step down from a train at East Lansing, Mich., in November, 1966. His football career has been plunging in the same direction ever since. Eddy, one of the glamor boys of college football in 1966 when he helped Notre Dame to a national championship, sus. tained a freak injury to his shoulder descending from the train which carried the Fighting Irish to East Lansing and their now famous 10-10 tie with

Michigan State. The incident set a pattern which has plagued the 6-foot-1, 210-pounder ever since. Eddy was drafted by Detroit and signed a three - year, $200,000 contract. He damaged his knee, however, in the Lions' third pre-season game and eventually missed the entire 1967 season. He underwent surgery last Oct. 12, to remedy damage to the outside of the knee and seemed well on the road to recovery when he aggravated the injury in the Lions’ 13-9 loss to Buffalo on Aug. 5.

NOT MANY DAYS LEFT-Greencastle and Putnam County teenagers only have a few days left to swim in the Robe-Ann Park swimming pool before it

closes Sept. 2,Labor Day. It has been a popular cooling off spot all summer.

San Diego to have powerful offense

ON GUARD-Working at the swimming pool this summer has been life guard Susaji.Murphey of Greencastle. Kids come swimming with everything from shower caps to Tshirts.

FINAL LEAPS? This boy gets in some last jumps off the high diving board in full view of life guard Diana Buis. Even cane poles are used at the pool. There are three more weekends of swimming left.

Musial, Wright North stars get day off

in St. Louis golf tourney

ST. LOUIS (UPI)-Stan Musial, an old duffer within sight of his 50th birthday, abandoned the links today in favor of a bevy of young girls. Musial twirled around the course at Norwood Hills Country Club Thursday with Mickey Wright, who has been to golf what Musial was to majorleague baseball as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. Musial and Miss Wright were a team in the pro-am tour, nament preceding the $15,000 St. Louis Women’s Open, which began today on the 5,811-yard Norwood course. Miss Wright, who won the St. Louis tournament in its maiden season in 1964, has won four tournaments this year although missing eight of the 19 stops on the ladies’ pro tour. The tournament’s defending champion is Kathy Whitworth, locked in a battle this year with Carol Mann for the title of leading money-winner on the tour. Miss Mann has official earnings of $32,200, and Miss Whitworth $29,675. Miss Mann has won seven tournaments, and Miss Whitworth four. Trying for back-to-back tournament victories is Shirley Englehorn, who last weekend won the Concord Ladies Open at Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. The tournament is a benefit for St. Mary’s Special School for Handicapped Children in St. Louis.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)— Dick Young, coach of the North AllStars for the Indiana Shrine Bowl Football game here Aug. 24, did the unexpected Thursday— he told his squad to relax

for half a day.

"Go swimming, take in a movie, listen to records, sleep, or do anything restful,” Young told last fall’s Indiana high school football standouts. He wouldn’t even permit them to so much as look at a football. The move was unexpected, considering the fact that South coach Stuart "Red” Faught held regular workouts in preparation for next week’s con-

test in Butler Bowl, but perhaps Young was anticipating a psychological improvement on the part of his team. Or, perhaps he was rewarding the boys for having worked so hard during a full scale scrimmage in the rain Thursday morning. North Central halfback Scott Clayton stole the show in the morning session, seven times carrying the ball for 10 or more years, including runs of 40 and

50 yards.

"I regarded Bob Belei of Gary on our 1967 team as the best back I had ever coached, but Clayton is showing more than Belei did,” Young said

By RAY MEANS SAN DIEGO, CaUf. (UPI) — One of the most devastating offenses in football, but a vul-: nerable defense. That’s the story of the San Diego Charg. ers. Seven-year veteran John Hadl has always been among the American Football League’s leading passers and ranks among the game’s best running quarterbacks. Lance Alworth is the most feared flanker in the league and Gary Garrison is almost as dangerous at split end. Tall, 225-pound tight end Willie Frazier led the club in receptions and touchdowns last year. "Our receivers are equal to the best in pro football,” flatly declares Coach Sid Gillman. Injuries generally are feared more than anything else by pro football coaches but several proved to be blessings in disguise for the chargers last year. Injuries last season to running backs Paul Lowe, Gene Foster and Jim Allison forced Gillman in desperation to use rookies Brad Hubbard and Dick Post as funners. They ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, in the league in rushing yardage. Frazier is a capable blocker at tight end while Ron Mix at right tackle and Walt Sweeney at right guard won well deserved all-league honors. Sam Gruniesen has been regarded as among the best in the league at center for years by line coach Joe Madro Gary Kirner and Larry Little did capable jobs at left guard last year, so the only loss is left tackle Ernie Wright to Cincinna-

ti.

San Diego ranked last in pass defense last year, mostly because the pass rush was almost non-existent. The Chargers drafted 300-pound Russ Washington from Missouri to help solve the problem. He may be used at left end, giving San Diego the only pro team four starting defensive line. The others are right end Steve DeLong, right tackle Scott Appleton and left tackle Ron

Billingsley.

Speedy Duncan at right corner is among the league’s quicker defenders. Kenny Graham suffered through a mediocre season at strong safety, primarily because of a shoulder injury, but is well now. As a result eight-year veteran Chuck Allen, slowed by two broken ankles over the years, was installed as the regular middle linebacker. Last year’s starter, Rick Redman, moved to right linebacker. Jeff Staggs, a standout as a rookie last year, returns at left linebacker. Windy has semi-finals Four local Greencastle men will square off this weekend in the semi-finals of the 13th annual Windy Hill Country Club Golf championship to be played at the club 9-hole course. Defending champion Ben Hoover advanced to the semi-finals last weekend when 3-time champion Herschel Hammond forfeited. Playing against Hoover will be IBM’s Frank Sunday who is seeking his first title; Bundy reached the round by defeating Don Orlosky 2-up. Two-time champ C.B. Hammond, winner over Tony Manuel last Sautrday, will be paired off with Ray Greve, winner over Bill McClellan 4 and 2. The two winners will play the final 36holes for the championship next weekend.

derates Today Dr. Richard A. Thompson, the team physician, announced Thursday he will operate today to remove cartilage damage from the former All America’s knee. Eddy, an explosive runner, was to have teamed with Mel Farr to form one of football’s most potent backfields, but the hard luck halfback has yet to play a regular season game for the Lions. Another of pro football’s most celebrated knees, one belonging to Joe Namath of the New York Jets, broke down again Thursday. Namath, who caused a major controversy when he refused to suit up last Monday night’s preo-season test against Houston when he insisted his knees hurt, limped off the practice field, clutching his left knee. Coach Weeb Ewbank of the Jets Immediately announced Namath was definitely out of Saturday night’s game against Boston in Richmond, Va. Team physician Dr. James A. Nicholas diagnosed the injury as tendonitis.
