Owens, the rookie flanker back whose pogo-stick pass catching has had the San Francisco Forty Niner opponents talking to themselves this year, is a man with confessions to make. Since he was in knee pants, the 23-year-old Santa Monica boy has been (you should excuse the expression) a Los Angeles Ram fan. He first saw Y. A. Tittle play football when he was 13 years old. That's when the now-famous San Francisco quarterback was a rookie with the Baltimore Colts. This admission probably makes the balding Y.A. feel like groping for the rocking chair and slippers. Even at the tender age of 10, young R.C. (that's my name just plain R.C.) was determined to one day become a pro foot ball player. 'T got the idea early," he says. "But I sure never dreamed I would wind up catching passes from the same player I watched with the Colts." Discounts Age Difference Compared to some of the griz zled, broken-nosed Forty Niners, Owens is no more than a babe in arms, but the age differen tial doesn't bother him a bit. "I got used to playing with older fellows at the College of Idaho," he said. "I was 17 when I entered college and some of the players were ex-servicemen who were 27-28 years old. A lot of them were married men with families. I didn't know whether to call them mister or not." Owens, who has found a home in Kezar stadium, is undoubted ly the most sensational rookie in pro football this year due mainly to his uncanny ability to pull passes out of the stratosphere. He has broken up three foot ball games with circus catches this year. Although he is only six feet, three inches tall, R.C. confounds his defenders by consistently out-jumping them for the high ones. He attributes his ability to his extensive college and semi pro basketball training. A Matter of Timing "It's really mostly a matter of timing," he said. "I was al ways a front line man in basket ball and you develop real timing going after those rebounds." From the stands, Owens ap pears to 0 about 15 feet into the air for those sensational two handed grabs of his. He, him self, doesn't know actually how high he gets. "A basketball ring is 10 feet from the floor and I used to specialize in the two-hand for ward dump shot," he says. "My elbows would be about even with the rim." Rearing into the air with a couple of defenders on your neck is not the most gentle phase of football, R.C. says. "You get a lot of hips and elbows in the scramble. You just have to learn to concentrate on that ball and forget the other guys." That terrific Y.A. to R.C. com bination is far from a prayer play. It's practiced a lot and the two are just plain getting good at it. "Tittle throws me those float ers that just sort of 'hang' up there," Owens says. "We work on it over and over in practice and we're connecting with about 50 to 60 per cent of them." Cleveland, Ohio HP Frank Lane, who resigned earlier io day as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, was nam ed today general manager of the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland, Ohio (IP) The Cleveland Indians' board of di rectors met today amidst reports that Frank Lane, general mana ger of the St. Louis Cardinals, would be named to a similar post with Cleveland. The directors were scheduled Rocket Line Showing No Signs of Slowing in NHL Montreal OP) The high scoring "rocket line" of the Montreal Canadiens Maurice and Henri Richard and Dickie Moore, showed no signs of slow ing down today in the National Hockey League scoring race, again rating 1-2-3. The 36 -year -old Maurice Richard added a goal and three assists last week to boost his point total to 23 in Montreal's first 13 games, one more than his 21-year-old brother, Henri. Four points back of the Richard brothers was linemate Dickie Moore with 18 points. to name a successor to Hank Greenberg, fired last month, and reports persisted that Lane would get the post. The Cleveland Plain Dealer flatly predicted late Monday night that Lane would be named Greenberg's successor. However Tribe officials refused to com ment on any of the reports. The Plain Dealer said Lane conferred in Chicago Sunday with two Indians vice presidents Nate Dolin and George Med inger.' The officials earlier in terviewed Bill De Witt, former general manager of the defunct St. Louis Browns. De Witt reported was dropped from consideration because he refused to accept anything but a three-year contract. GOLF PLAY POSTPONED The mixed two-ball golf tour ney planned for Rogue Valley Country club last Sunday was postponed because of wet weath er. It is intended to hold the event next Sunday.
