Denver Broncos Eye Chance To Top American League EDITORS NOTE: This it an other in a series of dispatches siiing up the prospects of pro fessional football teams for 1963. By GENE MEAKINS United Press International DENVER (UPI) This could be the Denver Broncos' year to take it all in the American Foot ball League. The combination of last sea son's impressive surge under the new leadership of coacn JacK Faulkner, which boosted the Broncos from a two-year doormat to runnerup in the Western Divi sion, and an outstanding crop of rookies has sparked the hopes of the coaches and fans alike. Denver may be well on the way toward becoming a real pro foot ball town, even if the Broncos fail to live up to everyone's wish ful thinking this season. Faulkner himself is most en thusiastic. "When our ball club settles down they can really play football," he said. "Our only weakness is in the offensive line. We've made a few trades to strengthen ourselves though. "Our strongest point, I think, is our kicking game. Gene Mingo 1 think, is the best field goal kicker in professional football, and Jim Frascr is an excellent punter. ."Wc hone to have a better rec ord than last year's 7-7, If we get a few breaks and keep away from Injuries, I think we'll be okay." Faulkner, who also is the Bron cos' general manager, pointed out that season ticket sales are ap proaching the 8,000 mark, com- Dared with about 5,000 a year ago, "Overall, everything is looking up, he said. Four newcomers are expected to break into the starting lineup: 250-pound fullback Billy Joe from Villanova, who has been drawing most of the pre-season raves; running back Clarence Walker, and rookie cornerbacks Tommy Janik from Texas A&I and Char lie Mitchell from Washington. But several other rookies will make the squad, including quarterback Mickey Slaughter of Louisiana Tech. Veteran Frank Tripucka, who has "retired" each year for the past two seasons, is looking bet ter than ever at the quarterback spot as he starts his 15th season of pro football. "Man, that Tripucka Is surpris ing me," Faulkner said. "Ho keeps getting better all the time." Trinucka's favorite targets, ends Lionel Taylor and Gene Prebola, arc back again. Taylor led the AFL in receiving in 1962, catch ing 77 passes for 908 yards. In addition, the Broncos this week acquired Bill Groman from the Houston Oilers.

Denver DENVER (UPI) Sponsors of the $35,000 Denver Open were op timistic about its financial secur ity right up to tee-off time today despite the irritating absence of five of professional golf's top money winners -and leading box office attractions. Denver Country Club pro No ble Chalfant, head of the spon soring Golf Inc., said "We stjll have a lot of top quality golfers. They'll give the galleries plenty of exceptional shots to talk about." Missing from this year's Den ver Open are Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ju lius Boros and Tony Lema. Chalfant expects crowds near 35,000 for the four-day tourna ment over the narrow fairways of rustic Denver Country Club. The course will play 35-3570 over 8,790 yards.

Heads Defensive Line Team captain Bud McFadin again leads a powerful veteran defensive line of Gordie Holz, Isaac Lassiter and Chuck Gavin. Additional rookies who figure in Bronco plans are fullback Hew ritt Dixon from -Florida A&M; tackles Anton Peters (Florida) and Tom Nomina (Miami, Ohio); linebackers Forrest Farmer (Pur due) and Leon Simmons (Gram bling) and guard C. B. Simons (Stanford). Dixon and Farmer presently are hobbled by injuries. Billy Joe is expected to give the Broncos a much greater punch in their running game which has lacked a power run ner in the past. "I plan to start him and play him as much as I can," said Faulkner. Shaw, Wolston Join Football Army Of Unemployed Pros By United Press International Bobby, Walston and George Shaw, two former stars who were attempting comebacks, to day joined "pro football's grow ing "army of the unemployed." Walston, 34, the second highest scorer in National League history, asked for and received his release from the Boston Patriots of the American League. Shaw, considered over the hill as a pro quarterback at the age of SO, was placed on the waiver list by the Denver Bron cos of the AFL. Walston retired last year after a brilliant 12-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles during which he served as a standout pass catcher, field goal kicker and point-after specialist. He reconsid ered in June and was signed as a free agent by the Patriots. This time, though. Walston is planning to retire for good. "If I thought I could help the Patriots, I would play the sea son," he said. "But the way the team shapes up now I .wouldn't figure prominently in their plans." With Three Teams Shaw played with three NFL teams Die Baltimore Colts, the New York Giants and the Minne sota Vikings before joining the Broncos last year. The former Oregon star enioycd a great rook ie year with the Colts in 1955 and later wound up ploying second fiddle behind Johnny Unitas. He was traded to the Giants in 1959 and again served as an un derstudythis time to Char ley Conerly. After two seasons at New York, Shaw moved on to Minnesota and thence to Denver. where he was the No. 2 man be hind Frank Tripucka, another for mer NFL signal-caller. The Giants reduced their sound to 42 men Wednesday by releas ing veteran two-way tackle Char lie Jancrctte and ofensive end Jim Collier. Collier scored the Giants' only touchdown in last season's 16-7 playoff defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers when he recovered a blocked kick in the end zone: Takes Medical Tests Bobby Mitchell, the Washington STANDINGS Northwest League Standings By United Press International W.

(UPI)- Robyn Ebbern of Australia, seed ed eighth among the gals, opens the championship flight of the 82nd U.S. tennis tournament to day against Roberta Zimman of Marblehcad, Mass., while 32 men hopefuls bid for the last 16 quali fying berths in their division.

Terry Baker To Start With Los Angeles Rams LOS ANGELES (UPI) Rookie quarterback Terry' Baker was named today to start for the Los Angeles Hams in their game against the Cleveland Browns here Saturday night.

Them Bums who used to be in Brooklyn really blew one they iook ime iney aon t really wanna win it. They bobble a couple easy grounders and they don't give Lefty Johnny Podres much sup port. Giants Winging Way To LA To Fake On Dodgers SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The San Francisco Giants, bursting at the seams with optimism, wing their way to Los Angeles today to take on the front-running Los An geles Dodgers in the big show down for the National League pennant. With their home run bats boom ing and the pitchers once again going the distance, the Giants finished off a nine-game home stand Wednesday by bombarding the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-3, on the strength of four circuit clouts and Billy O'Dell's six-hit pitching. Tonight big Bob Bolin draws the task of going to the mound for San Francisco against the great Sandy Koufax of the Dodg ers. Manager Alvin Dark decided on Bolin following his six-inning shut out relief stint against Cincinnati last week. Bolin has been rested since that time. "The fact that we've gotten well-pitched games from Juan Marichal, Jack Sanford and O'Dell in the past three games helped give our bull-pen a rest," said Giants pitching coach Larry Jansen. "The about-face came when our hitters went to work early and got them some runs. It makes a difference when you have a few runs cushion to work on." On Wednesday Chuck Hiller hit a homer with a man on in the first inning; Tom Hallcr hit one in the second and Haller and Or lando Cepeda hit back-to-back homers in the fourth. All the blows came off Bob Gib son who went the distance and was charged with his eighth de feat against 14 wins. The victory was O'Dell's 12th against six losses. Eilers Has 21st Save Of Season By United Press International Dave Eilers turned in his 21st save of the season and Bob Aguil- ar got lour extra base hits as Yakima downed Tri-City 8-3 Thursday night to maintain its 1 1-2 game bulge over Salem in the Northwest League. Eilers came in in the seventh inning in relief of Hud Gelein with Yakima leading 4-3 and pitched shutout ball the rest of the way. Aguilar pounded our three dou bles and a solo homer. In other games Thursday night, Salem defeated Lewiston 10-2 and Wenatchce split a doublcheadcr with Eugene. Salem pounded three Lewiston pitchers for 12 hits as Jim Lc scbre, Denny JIarquardt and Bob Reaves each drove in two runs. Wenatchce won the first game 7-1 as Bob Flynn tossed a seven- inning three-hitler. Eugene took the second 4-2. To Cincy Reds In First Spot But they still stand five and a half games ahead of the Giants San Francisco that is, and after they lose to the Reds, Ol' Walt Alston opines: "We gotta Iotta bad baseball outta our system I hope." So the Giants come to town to night and that there manager Aivie Dark hopes he can knock over the Dodgers like he did last year. Ol Dark says he's going to pitch Bob Bolin (8-4), against Alston's slick southpaw Sandy Koufax who is making his third try at his 20th win this season. Sandy, a real sharpie, has lost only five. Last night is history but it makes the Dodgers wince. Red pitcher Jim Maloney wins his 19th he's lost six. He gets lifted in the eighth. Manager Fred Hutchinson says the kid had a muscle spasm (cramp to you) in his back. Joey Jay pitches the rest of the way. The Reds get two runs in lhi third when Maury Wills who la ter steals two bases muffs a grounder by Pete Rose and Tom my Harper walks. Vada Pinson brings them both home with a double to center. In the sixth, the Dodgers reallv fall apart when Tommy Davis overthrows first base on Don Pavletich's sacrifice bunt. Podres can't get the side out after pitch ing to five guys and the Reds get four runs. The Dodgers geta little flurry in the bottom of the ninth. John Roseboro walks and a guv bv the name of Bill Skowron who used to piay for the Yanks hits a hom er into the right field bleachers- pardon me, pavilion. It am t enough.

(UPI Telephoto) Chicago Moves Full Up On Third-Place By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer The Chicago White Sox are caught up in another fight, and for a change this is one they can win. For the last few months, the White Sox have been chasing the New York Yankees for the Amer ican League lead. This drive ap parently hit a dead end last week when Chicago dropped three of four games at New York. The payoff for second place isn't nearly as sweet, but it's one the White Sox would savor after a hard year's work. And instead of worrying about the Yankees, Portland Blanks Denver, 5-0; Beavers Appeal League Rule By DAVE ROWE UPI Sports Writer The Spokane Indians, whose bats had been silenced for three games, are back on target and booming today. For 35 innings the leaders of the Pacific Coast League's North ern Division couldn't score a run. But Wednesday night at San Diego, Dick Berardino finally broke the ice with a solo home run in the sixth inning. Then in the seventh, John Wer has got the homer bug and lofted one out of the park with two mates aboard to hand San Diego a costly, 4-1, setback. Had the Padres won they would have been just two games out of first place in the Southern Division because Dallas-Ft. Worth (whipped Okla homa City, 4-2, in 11 innings.

Chicago moved a full game up on the third-place Twins by sweeping a doubleheader from the Cleveland Indians Wednesday night, 8-3 and 3-1. Pitching, long the team's strength, counted heavily again as Juan Pizarro, Eddie Fisher and Jim Brosnan limited the Indians to a total of 1 10 hits. Pizarro, working with only two days rest in the first game, struck out 10 and was touched for just six hits in gain ing his ICth victory against eight Seattle, 8-3, and Salt Lake City and Hawaii split a twin bill, the Bees winning the first, 2-1, and losing the nightcap, 6-4. A crowd o! 10,028 was on hand in San Diego but Joe Mocller was just too much, although Deron Johnson got his 33rd homerun in the fourth. Jesus Alou set a Tacoma team record for total hits in a season when he got his 193rd as the Giants downed Seattle. The old mark was held by his brother Matty. Jesus had & three run homer and two singles. ' Jim Constable scattered five hits to gain his eighth victory and did not allow a hit after the sec ond inning. Dallas-Ft. Worth's victory over the 89ers tightened the Southern Division race with the Rangers a game and one-half out and San Diego three off the pace. Don Williams picked up the overtime victory as he relieved Marv Mecklenburg in the ninth. The winners were outhit eight to six. Three Portland hurlers held Denver scorless as starter Bob Flynn was credited with his sev enth victory. He was relieved in the seventh inning. Bill Harrell and John Wojcik were the big hit ters for the Beavers. Portland officials have appealed a ruling by President Dewey Sori ano which removed a 2-1 victory for Portland over San Diego Aug. 18. The appeal went to Frank Shaughnessy, President of the Minor Leagues. Although outhit 8-4 in the opener, Salt Lake City took a 2-1 decision from Hawaii on a game winning double by Don Davis. In the nightcap, Salt Lake held a 2-1 lead going into the fifth but then the Islanders slashed away to score five runs and clinch the victory. The big hit in the inning was a double by John Kennedy.
