Another LSU Star '
Freed From Pact
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Half
back Johnny Robinson of Louisia
na State has his freedom today
from the Detroit Lions after a
court balile that a judge called
"another round in the sordid
fight" for football talent.
Federal Dist. Judge J. Skelly
Wright ruled Wednesday an agree
ment the ace LSU runner and pass
catcher signed with the Lions Dec.
2 was not a binding contract.
This left Robinson free to play
with Dallas of the new American
Football League, a team he signed
a contract with after playing in
the Suear Bowl last New Year's
Day. Detroit sought a court order
to stop Robinson from playing for
anyone else.
The ruling dealt the National
Football League another severe
setback, its third in as many
weeks.
A federal Judge in Los Angeles
released All-America halfback
Billy Cannon, Robinson's running
mate for three years at LSU from
a Los Angeles Rams' contract,
and last week Judge Claude Clay
ton, in Oxford, Miss., ruled the
New York Giants had no legal
hold in its agreement with All
America fullback Charlie Flowers
of Mississippi.
Courtney holds new oversize
as Hoyt beat Yankees, 3-2,
action as Halio Gueterez pitched a
no-hitter to defeat Canyonville, 81.
This gave the title to Glendale with
five wins and no losses for league
play.
Six home runs gave Riddle a 12-2
win over Days Creek and second
place in Little League play. Larry
Ruckel, Art Fisher and Tom Mor
rison each collected two round trip
pers in leading Riddle to the vic
tory. Camas Valley defeated Winston,
4-1, in Little League action as Rich
Parrel pitched a four-hitter and
connected for a home run. The vic
tory gave Camas Valley a league
record of three wins and two loss
es as it ended the first half of
league play in third place.
The second half of the league
play in the South Douglas Leagues
will begin July 9. These games will
find Camas Valley at Canyonville,
