Millar's Cabinet Shop Gronwood and Jaffarton Rams Tough On Rookies By JOE STM AMANT United Press International REDLANDS, Calif. UPI) Hey there, young fella, you with that glint in your eye for a pro football careeer...lt ain't easy. Take a look at the Los Angeles RMAs at their University of Red lands training camp. You'll begin to think that Ram officials in stead of the armed services- invented the word "regimenta tion." These boys trying out for bread and butter jobs with the Rams are kept busy "from morn 'til night, seven times a week and twice a day, wrestling around the gridiron. Actual practice is only a small part of the day approximately four hours. There are "skull ses sions," my lad, and they're as tough as any course you took In epistemology or higher calculus at college. Every hour, awake or asleep, the player is supposed lo be at a i certain place at a certain time. Girls are out. Card - .playing, even penny ante, .is taboo. No beer nor more exhilirating liquors. Get in "bed by the 10:30 p.m. curfew or you're liable to find yourself looking for another job. What's more you better zip your hp and keep it z.ppeo. Spies from other National Foot ball League teams may be lurk ing in the rhododendron beds, alert for a wayward word that may give them a clue to the physical condition of your team or the latest wrinkle Coach Sid Gillman has installed in his T offense. You've heard about baseball players reporting to spring train ing camp fat and out of condi tion. Don't try that with the Rams. You probably won't be abel to sland the gaff. In the loose-leaf handbook which every player, veteran and rookie alike, gets, and which grows as the training sessions progress, the words are under lined: "Report In Condition." Other sample instructions on life with the Rams: "Come to camp with a good suntan the sun at Redlands very hot and if you are not tanned you will lose valuaule time get tins over sunburn." "Get your feet toughened tip use a skin toughener of some kind and be sure your shoes fit properly and are well broken in. Blisters can keep you from mak ing the club. "Keep yourself neat and clean shaven at all times." "Be extremely careful of your language. ('Never discuss the team, the physical condition of members, or planned strategy with anyone. You may give information that would be extremely helpful to the opposition." ' They think of everything in this Ram camp and they'll go to great lengths to make you com fortable. They provide extra-long beds a dozen this year for you extra-long lads. You'll be given every chance to make the team. . You 11 Be well-fed (seconds for everyone) and well-housed.

I I R Uynj Rose Bowl Pact Ends After 1960 PORTLAND (UPD With one foot already in the grave, the Pa cific Coast Conference gave notict Monday that its contracts will the Pasadena Tournament o! Roses, the Big Ten and the Na tional Broadcasting Company foi the annual Rose Bowl classic will end after the game on Jan. 1, 1900. Acting PCC Commissioner Ber nard Hammerbeck made the an nouncement here ending the Rose Bowl speculation that followed the unanimous PCC dissolution vote Saturday. Only two more Rose Bowl games in the old tradition will be played between the Coast Confer ence and the Big Ten the Jan. 1. 1959. and the l!Mi0 New Year's Day Games. It will be up to the Pasadena Tournament of Roses after thai to determine if the Rose Bowl shall be continued on some other bns's. Although the PCC is dissolving before the second game, Confer ence officials are working on a plan that would permit th? lilCO game to be played on almosi the same basis as present. All pres ent PCC member schools would be eligible for selection as tne West's representative except the team playing in the 1959 game and all nine would share in the receipts. These are the three contracts that are involved: 1. One between the PCC and the Big Ten Conference whereby the eastern loop names from its mem bership one team for the game and the PCC names the other learn from among its members. 2. One between the PCC and the Tournament of Roses for the PCC to produce and manage the game. 3. One involving the Tournament of Roses, National Broadcasting Company and the PCC whereby NBC holds exclusive television and radio rights for the Rose Bowl game. Meanwhile, the PCC members were working, some independent ly, some in groups, to come up with an .answer to what happens after June 30, 1959, when the loop officially is dead. The four "orphan" schools of the Pacific Northwest, Oregon State, Oregon, Washington State and Idaho, were silent on whether or not they would form some new kind of conference. The four reb el': Schools, UCLA, Cal, USC and Washington announced they were kicking around the idea of re alignment with a fifth school, per haps Stanford, , into, a smaller "Ivy League i type ot conterence based on a "gentlemen's agree ment. . Laurences Take Final Games Laurence Jewelers took two games from Falks to win the post season playoff in the Pee Wee League last night, by 6-5 and 1-0 scores.

Like most quips it's nol 100 per cent accurate but there's no doubt the 21-year-old son of a Wheeling, W . Va., coal miner best typifies the plucky battle the Pirates are waging to give Pittsburgh its first pennant since 1927. He is young, stylish, constantly improving and now he's proving the most im portant fact: lie can rise to the occasion under pressure. Mazeroski demonstrated that Monday night to 38,938 fans largest crowd of the year in Pittsburgh when he delivered three hits that knocked in three runs in the Pirates ' 6-4 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. The win boosted the Pirates into a second - place tie with idle San Francisco, six games behind Mil waukee, and they have a chance lo cut still further into that lead tonight in the final game of the two-game series. Bob Friend v ent 8 2-3 innings to win his 13th game. He needed help in the ninth and got it from Elroy Face, a 155-pound .right hander who means almost as much to the club as Mazeroski. The victory was the fifth straight for the Pirates and Face has appeared in the last four.. Over the five games, Mazeroski has collected eight hits, knocked in six runs and batted .471. For the season, Face has appeared in 43 games and been credited with 18 "saves" while Mazeroski is hitting .278 and is recognized as the league's best fielding second bfwman .
