No Eskimoes-Jusf Top Baseball From Alaska Don't go out lo Legion Field night figuring on seeing any Eski moes just because the Alaska team is in town but you can figure on seeing a topflight baseball club that lists among its players a strong right-hander that three ma jor league teams have already in dicated an interest in. ' Officials of the Anchorage team which won the Alaska champion ship and will compete in the Amer ican Legion Junior Baseball Re gional Tournament here this week told The News-Review Sunday night that people turned out from miles around in norm Dakota last year just to see Alaska-bccausc they figured the team would be comprised of Eskimoes.

Because of the long summer days in Alaska, the team has nev er Bad an opportunity to piay un der the lights. They don't need them and don't have them, al though they did break in a new field this year. Topping the list of Polar Bear players is pucner iroy uerzine, a 6-1, 190-pound right-hander who has attracted interest from three major league clubs most no tably the Boston Red Sox. Gcr zine has an 8-1 record on the year. The rest of the squad's 18-4 mark is made up of a 6-1 record by right-hander Doug Rogers and a 4-2 mark on the part of lefty Tom Parker. Although they don't have an Es kimo in the lineup, the Alaskans do have several young American Legion baseball stars who've chalk ed up impressive batting averages during the year. Pacing the list is centerfielder Terry Gose, who'll go into action here batting .448. Next in line comes Parker, who makes some appearances in the outfield when he's not on the mound and who is presently bat ting .375. First baseman John Crane is currently belting the ball at a .357 clip, while left fielder Jim Roddick is hitting .325 and right fielder Dave McCauley is bat ting .317.

Also in town for the tournament is Lou Ellsworth, assistant basc-l ball commissioner for Western I Alaska. i The Anchorage team plays in a four-team league within the city. The one major disadvantage to baseball in Alaska is the lack of a season for a high school pro gram. The officials here for the tournament said, however, they have a strong Little League and Pony League program in the city. The season in Anchorage this year started on May 25. Another holdback in the program is the weather, often rainy, and seldom above 60 degrees in temperature. The Alaska squad arrived in Roseburg about noon Sunday and held a workout at the high school field Sunday afternoon in prepara tion for tonight's outing under the lights against the Roseburg Bees. They've been in the regionals five out of the last six years, and promise to provide plenty of base ball thrills for the fans at Legion Field.

The youthful Vikings, with Tar kenton throwing two touchdown passes, opened their National Football League exhibition sea son with a 43-28 victory over the San Francisco 49ers before 20,837 persons here Saturday night. "We've got some hitters on this team," said Tarkenton. "Our play execution in the' game was great. I II be disappointed if we don t go on now to a fine season." Minnesota Coach Norm Van Brocklin said "the kids really wanted that one" and then went on to praise his signal caller. "He's a great one," the former Oregon quarterback said. "I think he is the most exciting quarter back in the game today." Tarkenton, who completed 12 of 28 passes for 226 yards, hit half back Tommy Wilson for a 65-yard touchdown pass and end Charley Ferguson for a 4-yard scoring aerial. Coach Red Hickey and his San Francisco Forty Niners staff headed back to the old drawing board today to figure why their 1963 model fizzled so badly on the launching pad. Hickey unveiled his "new" foot ball machine in Portland Satur day night as a seven-point favor ite over the Minnesota Vikings. But only superhuman efforts by Kermit Alexander and Elbert Kimbrough kept the Norsemen from burying the contraption right there in the sod of Multno mah Stadium. The Minnesota team, which had lost six straight games to San Francisco, walloped " the Forty Niners 43-28 in the opening exhi bition contest for both teams. Only one-man offensive and de fensive performances by Alexan der and Kimbrough. respective ly, kept the score from matching the lop-sided statistics.

That's the same bulge that separated these Califnoria rivals after weekend action, leaving some figure filberts wondering if history was ready to repeat it self. You don't need a long memory to recall that the Dodgers blew a four-game lead in the final week of the 1962 season and then bowed to the Giants in a three game playoff. This year, though, the Dodgers seemingly have hit the skids much earlier. Since July 20, when the Dod gers held a 10-game lead over Ore. Mon., Aug. 12, 1963 ended, when Alexander scam pered 27 yards, quarterback John Brodie hit Monte Stickles for 41, and fullback Roy Winston plunged over from the one. But the Vikings came back again, scoring 10 points on a touchdown and a field goal in the final 38 seconds of the half. Alexander Again Early in the third period, Al exander exploded again. He took a Minnesota punt, fumbled it briefly, and then rolled 81 yards down the middle to score, it didn't scare the Vikings. Tar kenton hit on a 65 yard scoring pass two minutes later, and Min nesota quickly added a field goal after the Forty Niners fumbled the kickoff in the opening mo ments of the fourth period. The Forty Niner offense sput tered again, and the Vikings moved the ball into position for their fifth field goal of the night to lead 36-21 with seven minutes remaining. With a comfortable lead, the Viking defense relaxed a bit and the Forty Nir.er offense got an other chance to look good. Bro die connected on a series of passes to Stickles and Jim John son, and Winston plunged over from one foot out. But then Bob Reed capped a fine Minnesota showing by taking the Forty Niner kickoff and lop ing 98 yards into paydirt. The statistics told the story, with Minnesota leading in every department: Yards rushing, 243 to 74; yards passing, 226 to 174; first downs, 24 to 13; total of ten; e, 443 to 278. Hickey was confident that his team would look better against the St. Louis Cardinals Friday at Salt Lake City. That's a pretty safe assumption because they couldn't look much worse.
