Time running out - Ken Lane waiting for title shot MUSKEGON. Mich (iron Time is running out for Kenny Lane, the Muskegon belter who has spent the last five years waiting for another shot at the lightweight championship of the world. Lane, 31 -year-old father of three, is spending his time these days fixing machines at the self service laundromat and dry cleaning establishment he bought three years ago. "If a guy only knew what was going to happen. . .", Lane said as he pondered the possibility of getting Carlos Ortiz, the recog nized lightweight champion every where but in Michigan, into the ring soon. "It's been this way for years, you get tired of waiting and it gets especially tough when you go broke. I had to wait so long for that shot at Joe Brown and now I'm still waiting for another crack at it," Lane said. "My wife would just as soon have me quit and get a job where you know when you're go ing to work and how much mon ey you'll earn at the end of the week," he added. Lane currently holds the Mich igan version of the lightweight crown whatever that means after pounding out a unani mous decision over Paulie Arm- Th Bulletin, Wednesday, August 28, 1963 stead of Los Angeles at Saginaw last week. But it wasn't much of a pay day for Lane or for Armstead. The paid gate was only 2,200 and more than that number got in free. In the confused world of pro boxing, it's had to tell what will come next for Lane. The World Boxing Association VBA, currently feuding with Michigan boxing Commissioner David Gudelsky, stripped Ortis of his lightweight crown for failing to defend it and then gave it back the day before the Lane Armstead fight. The WBA also ordered Ortiz to sign for a fight with the Lane Armstead winner in 60 days. "But I haven't heard anything yei," Lane said. "I'm still wait ing . . ." The situation was also confused when the WBA threw Michigan out for "contemptuous attitude." Gudelsky claims Michigan had withdraw from the organization before the state was kicked out. Lane, who has never been knocked out and has been knocked off his feet only once, turned pro on his 21st birthday, April 9, 1933. The stylish southpaw since that time has won 76 fights, lost only 11 and fought in two draws. He's been perennially rated the No. 1 contender, but his only shot at the title came in 1338 in Houston against then champion Brown. Lane lost a unanimous 15-round decision by a razor-thin margin as the refpree and one . judge gave the fight to Brown by just one point. The late Jack (Doc) Kearns, thinking Lane was way ahead on points, advised him to coast the final two rounds, which Brown subsequently won. A rematch seemed likely, but Lane could never get Brown Into the ring again. Since tlio bout with Brown, Lane has fought Ortiz twice. He gained a decision in 1859, but when they (ought for the junior welterweight championship the following year, Ortiz won on a TKO. "Ho opened up a 16-stritch gash on my forehead when he butted me," Lane said. Ortiz then dethroned Brown in April of 1962, but Lane has been unable to get Ortiz in the ring for another shot at the title. Lane was rated No. 1 until last month when the WBA switched the ratings and dropped him to No. 2 and moved Armstead to No. 1. But Lane still has ambitions of weal ing the crown some day. "Ortiz is an overrated fighter, first he makes the matches and then they rate his oppoents, it's ridiculous." "It I get tht fight, I figure I can beat him and then set up some pretty good paydays as champion," he added. "That could really set me up In the laundry business. It's a good business." But before he retires to the laundry business, he wants to wear the crown. He's wailed long enough for it. A LOOK AT Epssssssa SPORTS Coaches note grid fervor in all camps If the grunting and groaning and the roaring out on Bruin practice field is any indication, the fighting Lava Bears of Bend High School may be off to a roar ing start this year. Coaches Tom Winbigler and Hoot Moore have indicated that the 1963 Lava Bears will have more enthusiasm (and size) than in recent years. "This is just about the best bunch I've ever coached," Moore disclosed during a brief lull yes terday. He hastened to point out, however, that the Bend squad is not of the best ability he's had an opportunity to mentor, but that the Bruin attitude is "tops." Could it be that the Bruins have taken a shot in the arm? Could it be that the Lava Bear enthusiasm and attitude towards the rock 'em sock 'em sport has been rejuvi nated? Yessiree. . .it looks that way. 10 RtfMrt Head Coach Winbigler got 80 gridders (excluding freshmen) out for the football. This sets a record. Though Winbigler and his staff are enthusiastic about his team in general, they are even more pleased with tho crop of Bend sophomores. "They may not have been tops as freshmen," he pointed out, "but many of them .-nave grown considerably, and in couple of years will be real bearcats." Winbigler pointed out in particu lar two individuals who will be real badgers in the Intermoun tain League during the next two years. They are both quarter- '. hacks: Bruce May and Rick Nicholson. Among his green gridders, Win- .bigler got nine returning letter men and about three regulars. But Bend is not the only camp where enthusiasm abounds. j - Prineville Excited Up at Prineville people are really excited. The Cowboys have a brand new coach and a brand new svstem. "Watch-out" holler the Crook County grid fans. Coach George Dowling has brought a combination for grid competition to the Crook camp. Dowling, an ex-Idaho gridder, has brought a Skip Stahley offense aboard. It goes with split ends and a slot back for razzle dazzle. He also has brought the University of Washington's challenge system that Coach Jim Owens up there has made work so well. No gridder at Prineville will go without his chance. Coach Dowl ing has slated a full game scrum for Saturday, September 7, with the losing team eating beam as the victors slurp steaks. Panthers Rudy Redmond Coach Doe Savage Is new as head mentor, but he is a veteran Panther coach. He is en thusiastic, too. The 'Cats got 60 out on their football call. There are about 11 lettermen returning, five of which were regulars for the Panthers last year. Savage mentioned that he will have small er backs, but his line will be aver age. Though he boasts no speed in particular, Savage did point out that senior Dennis Moore will be tough to contend with. Up at Madras, Coach Frank Good is determined to shake the label as being league doormat. About 45 reported to football on the initial call, but Good expects at least 15 more. The mint har vest, it appears, is causing a cer tain number to delay practice until the harvest is over. "It really hursts us," Good said. "We need two solid weeks of practice with a full squad to be ready." Good, however, will have 16 lettermen back when they all get on the field. Madras will go with small backs. Good's line is the question mark. Good has a bright spot. Madras will open its grid season at home for the first time in 10 years. They tackle wide-open, fast La Grande, who, like Prineville and Redmond, has a new head mentor. i sw ).; " d to r4X'- a 1,. 7JUi) win i.n niiiKi immn inwihin i vILstilmgtb 'I'mi i i 1 :.r J Hopalong Cassady, once highest paid rookie in NFL, joins two dozen veterans looking for jobs By United Press International Howard (Hopalong) Cassady, the highest paid rookie in the Na tional Football I-eague seven years ago, today was just one of nearly two dozen veteran players look- ' lng for jobs. The red-haired Heisman Trophy winner of 1935, whom Woody Hayes, his coach at Ohio State, once called "the greatest football (layer I've ever seen," apparent y lost his job with the Philadel phia Eagles to rookie back Ron Goodwin of Baylor. The youth-conscious Minnesota Vikings pared the most number of veterans trom tneir ranns m, Including s i x y e a r - pro tackle Frank Youso, to meet the NFL's final pre-scason limit of 43. The Vikings in turn picked up two second-year defensive tackles. Bill Wilson and George Hultz. from the St. Louis Cardinals for a fu ture draft pick. Two injured Baltimore Colts' veterans, defensive tackle Bill Ventura and defensive back Bob Boyd, were placed on the injury waiver list and flanker Bake Turn er, a two-year pro, was cut. In addition to Cassady, the Eagles asked for waivers on line backer John Nocera and defen sive tackle Joe Lewis, both mem bcrs of last year's squad. Redskins Cut Six Veteran offensive tackle Charlie Moore and defensive back Jim Kerr were lopped by the Wash- . ington Redskins in addition to four rookies. " .

Soaring Yankees now claim hottest toss staff By United Press International Talk about the rich getting richer. The New York Yankees, who have opened a hefty 12V4 game lead in bidding for their 14th pen nant in 17 years, now are brag ging about the hottest pitching staff in the majors. v Four different men have huried shoutouts for the Yankees in their last five games. Whitey Ford and Al -Downing started the white wash jobs against the Chicago White Sox last weekend, then Jim Bouton and Ralph Terry blanked the Boston Red Sox in a double header Tuesday night. So in addition to spread-eagling the American League, the Yank ees are closing in one a club rec ord for most shutouts in a sea son. Manager Ralph Honk's cur rent staff has 18 to its credit, only six short of the team stand ard set in 1951 by the likes of Vic Raschi, Ed Lopat and Allie Reynolds. Bouton, a part-time jeweler, nearly carved a no-hit gem in the opener against the Red Sox. Ho settled for a two-hit, 5-0 vic tory. Terry spaced five hits in winning the nightcap, 3-0. Pinch hitter Russ Nixon broke up Bouton's no-hit bed when he led off the Boston ninth with a line drive that almost hit the Yankee pitcher. Gary Gciger fol lowed with another single but the chunky riffht-hader preserved the shoutout when Chuck Schilling bounced into a double play and Carl Yastrzomski grounded out to end the game. It was Bouton's 18th victory and fifth shoutout of the season. In the second game, the Yankees scored all their runs in the eighth innine with the help of a two- run double by Yogi Berra to ease Terry to his 15th triumph. The Chicago White Sox moved Into a second place tie with the idle Minnesota Twins by ripping the Cleveland Indians, 6-1; the Detroit Tigers downed the Los Angeles Angels, 4-1, for their sixth straight triumph, and the Kansas City Athletics edged the Baltimore Orbles, 2-1, in 10 in nings. In the National League, the Cubs nipped the Phillies, 4-3; tlie Pirates clipped the Mets, 2-1; the Braves turned back the Colts, 3 2; the Dodgers downed the Reds, 3-2 and the Giants defeated the Cardinals, 7-2.
