Edgewood, first test for coach
McLain
gets rest for
McCammon’s ‘68 Tiger Cubs number28 ^^ UPI Sports Writer
Game time is 8 p. m.
First year head coach James McCammon, his young coaching staff and 40-plus Greencastle Tiger Cubs will open the schools 19th football season here tonight against Edgewood. McCammon and crew are in hopes of adding more victories to the school’s pigskin record that stands at 51 wins, 98 losses and 8-ties since the turn of the fifth decade. The Tiger Cubs two-year win re-
cord of 15 wins and Slosses since 1966 when Bob Bergman had 8-2 and 7-3 records, forms the longest season win streak in the school’s history .The Western Indiana Conference title of 1966 also marks another record for the Cubs. Twice the Tigers have been shutout from victory, in a season in 1952 and 1964 with eight and 10games on the schedule respeclively and twice since 1960 Greencastle teams have won but 1-game.
Now that the local fans have been seeing winning seasons for the the past two years, McCammon . like nothing better than to win six or seven games this season. “Our team is inexperienced this year, says McCammon,” but were not small and the staff and myself feel confident of a good season. The defensive line is averaging around 165 pounds per man and the offensive line is a little lighter at 159. “Comparatively we should have as big a backfield as anyone we meet with an average of 174 pounds per man, that’s pretty
good size,” he added.
Looking over the schedule the
Big 10 coaches hunt for best combinations
coach felt from the third game on (Plainfield) the road would be the
toughest.
“I look for Plainfield, Schulte and Sullivan to be our toughest opponents,” said the 10 year veteran. “but I wouldn’t say any of our oppositions are push-overs. However the Tiger Cubs do open with what appears to be the weakest team on the schedule. Edgewood is fielding a second year team that posted a 1-7 record last year. The Mustangs have a new coach, Richard Ricker, who stated earlier in the season that this season will be “a building year with
the purpose of winning”.
Edgewood started its season last Friday night when it hosted Brownstown, in one of three home games, getting a 33-0 pasting. Ricker before the season said his running game would be the most
effective since he planned to teach basic football. Dave Price and Roger Blockard are two of the running backs for the Mustangs. Price tips the scales at 205, with a lot of running power and hard hitting up the middle. Blockard has more speed and weighs 175. Other runners for Edgewood are senior halfback Larry Durnil and junior Rick Neilsen, Don Skirvin, a 210 pound tackle anchors the defense and Robbie Arthur gives the team a strong kicking game. Other games in the area pit Brazil at home against Memorial of Evansville, Clinton plays at Garfield, Honey Creek at Gerstmeyer, North Central at Lintor and West Vigo at Schulte. Rounding out the W.I.C. conference is Duggar at Sullivan and Wiley at
Bedford.
Following is a list of probable starters for the Tiger Cubs.
It was an off day for 18 of the 20 major league teams Thursday and the guy who needed the rest the most was Denny
McLain.
CHICAGO (UPI) — With nonconference openers two weeks away, Big Ten gridiron clubs are juggling lineups as coaches sought their most suitable offensive and defensive combinations. Quarterbacks Phil Hagen and Ray Stephens continued their battle Thursday for the No. 1 post at Minnesota as the Gophers gird for Southern California Sept. 21. The spot has been open since the graduation of last year’s regular, Curt Wilson. Coach Murray Warmath has vetoed the idea of platooning Hagen and Stephens. At Iowa, coach Ray Nagel was pleased with the progress of his offensive unit. However, he displayed displeasure in his defensive squad after an hourlong scrimmage held in rainy conditions. Michigan State held a scrimmage, then went through a weigh-in. The results showed Tom Beard the tallest player at 6 feet 6, Roger Ruminski the heaviest at 256 pounds, and Kenny Heft the lightest at 162. A sophomore from Aurora, 111., Tom Jones, running on the second string offensive unit, will miss Illinois drills for at least eight weeks. Jones suffered a broken arm in practice Wednesday. Coach Jack Mollenkopf singled out three sophomores for praise in Purdue’s goal line stand scrimmage conducted at Lafayette, Ind. They were linebackers Bob Brumby, Rick Skorupan and Veno Paraskevas.
Northwestern held its heaviest contact of the young season as the No. 1 offensive and defensive units went through a long scrimmage. Joe Zigulich of Chicago was moved to first-string center during the bruising workout. At Ann Arbor, coach Bump Elliott stressed offensive patterns as Michigan avoided heavy contact work, and the chance of additional injuries. Capt. Ron Johnson, one of the Big Ten’s best runners, returned to practice after being sidelined with a dislocated thumb.
mulling things over on a muddy practice field, pondered moves to utilize the great speed of sophomore halfback Larry Highbaugh, now running right behind starter John Isenbarger. The possibility arose that High baugh, a fixture in the kick-and-receive unit, might be shifted to split end or flanker
back.
While Big Ten clubs toiled, Notre Dame, figured to be battling for the national crown, >went through a light passing drill Thursday. End Jim Seymour missed practice. He suffered a calf muscle injury Tuesday, but may be ready for Saturday’s scrimmage.

By STEVE SNIDER UPI Sports Writer FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UPI) — So the pros were going to murder the amateurs? Two amateurs — fifth-seeded Arthur Ashe of Richmond, Va., and eight-seeded Tom Okker of the Netherlands— already have grabbed two of the four slots in the semi-finals of the $100,000 U.S. Open tennis championships and not a single pro is in there yet. What’s more, seventh seeded Clark Graebner of New York has a foot in the door and could make it three out of four semifinal berths for the dazzling young men who have not yet signed pro contracts. Graebner held a 2-1 lead in sets and was 2-all in the fourth when his match with fourthseeded pro John Newcombe of Australia was halted by darkness Thursday. The 24.year-old Davis Cupper, who like Ashe made the Wimbledon semifinals, led 5-7, 11-9, 6-1, 2-2 against the Aussie, who beat him for the title here last year when the Nationals were an allamateur affair. “I hope Graebner makes it,” said Ashe. “I have to play the winner, but I want Clark because that’ll mean the United States will be guaranteed one
man in the final—him or me. It’s possible, but not probable that the U.S. could place three men in the semis since sixthseeded pro Dennis Ralston of Bakersfield, Calif., still is “alive” and facing a quarter, final against third-seeded Ken Rosewall of Australia. Okker, a 24-year.old Dutchman who is called an amateur, though he’s playing for prize money under the current, cockeyed international rules, simply wore out 40-year-old Pancho Gonzalez of Malibu, Calif., in the first men’s quarter-final Thursday, 14-16, 63, 10-8, 6-3. Then, Ashe knocked over 16thseeded Cliff Drysdale of South Africa, earlier victor over topseeded Rod Laver, by scoring his 27th victory in a row, 8-10,6-3, 9-7, 6-4. In women’s singles, topseeded Billie Jean King of Berkeley, Calif., was scheduled in a semi-final against fifthseeded Maria Bueno of Brazil with the winner going into the final. Sixth-seeded Virginia Wade of England gained the final Thursday with a slashing 7-5, 61 victory over British pro Ann Haydon Jones.
THAT’S NEVELE PRIDE--driven by Stanley Dancer who set the world mile and 2-mile sulky records at the Indiana State Fair.
Tigers, Cards send for tickets
NEW YORK (UPI)-Baseball Commissioner William D. Eckert made it official Thursday: The Detroit Tigers and the St. Louis Cardinals were given the go-ahead to print World Series tickets. Neither team has it clinched yet, but with the Cards leading the National League by 13V2 games and the Tigers leading the American League by eight games, they’re figured the most likely choices to make the annual classic.

No Sports Blues For New Orleans NEW ORLEANS tUPI)—Recent developments have given New Orleans a bright sporting outlook for the future. They include the amazing growth of the Greater New Orleans Golf Tournament, which has mushroomed from a $5,000 to a $100,000 event, the arrival of the NFL Saints and the ABA Buccaneers, and moves toward a 70,000-seat domed stadium.
McLain, shooting for his 28th victory tonight when the Tigers host the Minnesota Twins, got four days rest between starts for the first time since May because the Tigers were idle Thursday. In the first six weeks of the season, McLain had four days rest four times and even had five days rest between starts twice. But since May 25, the armweary righthander has pitched consistently with just three days rest—except the three times he started with only two days rest — as he’s led the Tigers in their drive for their first pennant since 1945. McLain did have four days rest between Tiger starts at the All-Star break but did pitch two innings in the AllStar game. McLain, who won his 27th Sunday, was due to start Thursday but since the Tigers were idle, he got an extra day’s rest until tonight. U. S.seeks decathlon men SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (UPI)—The decathlon, one of the sports world’s most gruelling contests and possibly America’s most forgotten, gets a two-day airing at the Echo Summit high altitude training base today and Saturday with 11 candidates shooting for three Olympic berths. The candidates, headed by American record holder Russ Hodge of UCLA, will go in the 100-meter run, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400-meter run today. Saturday it will be the 110-meter high hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1,500-meter run. Other than some of the shot putters in camp for the start of the final Olympic trials next Monday, Hodge easily is one of the biggest athletes on the scene. While Hodge is well known among track and field fans, hardly anyone else has heard of him. In fact you have to go all the way back to 1948 when Bob Mathias won an Olympic gold medal in the event to stir sports fans about the decathlon. Always an excruciating test of human endurance, the decathlon gains in difficulty this year with trials in the rarified atmosphere of 7,377-foot altitude here, and the Olympics proper at Mexico City’s 7,359 feet above sea level. In'the thinner air, it’s an accepted fact that an athlete has a longer “recovery” time— the time it takes breathing and for the pulse rate to drop back to normal. But a decathlon athlete can't wait. The events come one right after the other. Most of the athletes in the event feel they will be hindered only in the running events.
