New Teams, Coaches, Familiar Quarterbacks in Pro Grid Mix Portland-Two new teams, two new coaches and two fa miliar quarterbacks make this year's professional football game between the Philadel phia Eagles and Green Bay Packers as exciting as any ever presented here. The two teams come to grips at Multnomah Stadium Saturday night. The kickoff will be at 8 p.m. A crowd of more than 25,000 is fore cast. The Eagles, under Coach Buck Shaw, will display the best passing attack in the Eastern division of the Na tional Football league, with Grid Teams Work Out For Games UniUd Preis International Apparently most of the Na tional Football league teams came out of last week-end's exhibition play without any serious injuries. George Halas, Chicago Bears' owner - coach, has stepped-up practice sessions for today and Wednesday be fore the squad pushes off for Houston, Tex., for a Saturday game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Halas reported his squad in "good shape" after last Satur day's victory" over the Phila delphia Eagles at Lynn, Mass. Friday Night The champion Baltimore Colts, who whipped the New York Giants in the Cotton Bowl last Friday, were back at their training base in West minster, Md., prepping for a Friday night game with the Washington Redskins in Bal timore's Memorial Coliseum. Del Shofner, who suffered a charley horse against the Redskins in Los Angeles last Friday night, will be ready to play again Saturday when the Rams meet the undefeated Chicago Cardinals at Los An geles. The Rams enjoyed a day of Monday but are ex pected to resume head knock ing today. The Detroit Lions cut five players from their roster, in cluding Tom Rychlec, who made the club last year after a year in the Army. The oth ers cut all were newcomers halfback Carl Smith of Ten nessee, guard Harry Jacobs of Bradley, linebacker Jim Bald win of Murray State and cen ter Dan McGrew of Purdue. Smith was the highest draft choice to be dropped. He was picked on the ninth round. The Lions play the Giants in Detroit Friday night. Hall Leads PCL Stats Sari Francisco - (UPD - Dick Hall, whose slow-ball pitching has carried Salt Lake into first place in the Pacific Coast league, dominates nearly all phases of pitching in official statistics released today. Hall's 16 wins are tops in the league, and combined with only four losses, give him an .800 percentage, which is also the league's best. His e.r.a of 1.80 is low among league regulars and his six shutouts is also a league high. Ken Johnson's 212 innings pitched make his the league's hardest working hurler, while Dick Stigman of San Diego is strikeout king with 152. Earl Francis of Salt Lake has the dubious distinction of issuing the most walks, 93. Leads Batters Spokane outfielder Tom Davis led PCL batsmen with a .342 average. Rotund Steve Bilko of Spo kane moved into the home run lead with 25 and his 87 runs-batted-in led in that depart ment. Bilko won both titles in 1956 and 1957. He played last year in the major leagues. Davis' 182 hits put him far ahead in that department. Be hind Davis in the batting av erages came Seattle's Hal Bevan and Salt Lake's Sam Miley at .333. Centennial Show Has Loyal Visitor Portland-TOPD-Centennial of ficials today nominated Mrs. Manzanita Fendall as perhaps the event's, most loyal visitor. Mrs. Fendall has been pay ing her way into the Centen nial every' other day. "And I'm not through yet," she said. So far she's worn out four pair of shoes and says she's probably walked as far as "Grandma" Gatewood, who hoofed it 2,000 miles from Missouri. Attendance Monday was 9,395, making the total to date 1,034,951. "old pro" Norm Van Brock lin directing the offense.

PLAN 14-GAME TOUR Boston (UPD The Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis Lakers will visit all six New England states during a 14- game exhibition tour begin Richmond Takes Two United Press International The streaking Richmond Virginians probably won't have time to catch the front- running Buffalo Bisons, but a doubleheader sweep Monday night just about insured them of a playoff spot in the Inter national league. The Virginians defeated the Columbus Jets twice, 3-2 and 9-7, to run their latest victory streak to eight and cut Buf falo's lead over them to 6V4 games. With 14 games left to play, Richmond's chances of catching the Bisons appear remote. However, they now lead third-place Havana by a half -game and fourth -place Columbus by Wz games. Miami defeated Havana, 2-1, on Jimmy Archer's six hitter, while Montreal defeat ed Buffaol twice, 9-3 and 2-1, and Rochester beat Toronto, 6-4. Chances Alive Montreal's double victory kept alive the fifth-place Royals' chances for a playoff berth. They trail fourth-place Columbus by 3V games. Tom my LaSorda was the winner for Montreal in the first game and Babe Birrer won the nightcap. Glenn Cox was the winner for Richmond in the first game after taking over for Bill Stafford in the third. He helped settle the second game when he belted a three-run homer in a wild fifth inning in which the Virginians scor ed five times to tie the score at 5-5.

Wenatchee topped Lew iston 7-3 in another makeup contest and managed to stay a half-game ahead of Salem in the second half race.

PETERSON UPI Sports Editor Chicago (UPD The man who will direct the destiny of the United States in the 1960 summer Olympic games in Rome predicted today the U.S. will win a minimum of 11 of the 27 team titles in the Pan American games opening Thursday. "That should give us tre mendous impetus toward the games at Rome," said Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, president of the U. S. Olympic committee. He added that he wasn't counting the U. S. completely out of the other 15 team titles to be decided here. "All of the competing coun- FINES OUTFIELDER Toronto (UPD Outfielder Bobby Wilson of the Toronto Maple Leafs has been fined by Manager Dixie Walker for benching himself Sunday in the first game of a double header with . the Montreal Royals. Wilson said he quit because he was sick to his stomach. PORTUGAL CHAMP LOSES Oakland, Calif. -(UPD John ny Gonsalves, of Oakland, Calif., opened a deep gash under the right eye of Portu gal's Chicago Santos Monday night to score a ninth-round tko in a welterweight bout at the auditorium. ment, declined to confirm the site or date. The old Manas sa Mauler stated merely: "The return match will be held next year." Neither the site nor date would be mentioned in the contracts, he said.. Confusion . Dempsey, who stepped into Rosensohn Enterprises, Inc., as promotion director last week,' brought about the agreement in only two days of conferences here, and thereby ended two months of confusion. The contracts would have been signed Monday night; but champion Ingemar had to go to the textile town of Bo raas, 40 miles east of Gote borg, and appear as a model for pajamas and shirts at a fashion show. It was a com mitment he couldn't break. Attorney Ahlstedt said In gemar didn't want to fight again this year for tax rea son's and he preferred to wait for March so he needn't start heavy training until af ter he enjoys the Christmas holidays with his family. WASHINGTON GIRLS LEAD Washington (UPD Two girls from the state of Washington, defending champion Ann Quast of Maryville and Jo Ann Gunderson of Seattle, to day led a field of 64 surviv ors into the second round of match play in the National Women's Amateur golf cham pionship. Finals are Saturday tries figure their teams are vastly improved over what they had at Mexico City in the last Pan American games," Wilson continued. "But from talking to our coaches and other officials I'm confident that this is one of the strong est squads we ever have put together for international com petition." Predictions Wilson, basing his predic tions from what U. S. coaches have told him, figured the U. S. would win both men's and women's track and field, both men's and women's bas ketball, yachting, boxing, baseball, men's and women's tennis, and men's and women's gymnastics. Other nations are favored or co-favored with the U. S. in soccer, equestrian, both men's and women's fencing, water polo, yachting, rowing, shooting modern pentathlon, wrestling, women's volley ball, cycling, men and wo men's gymnastics and skeet. However, Wilson believes the U. S. could upset the dope in rowing, yachting, and wres tling among others. Strongest Ever "After watching them work out and viewing their records, this is the strongest men's track team that's ever been put together by anybody at any place," Wilson declared. "I'd have to say that a large percentage of this team will be on our 1960Olmpic squad." He anticipated "perhaps a lit tle trouble from Venezuela and British West Indies in the relay races, but that's all." "Fred Schaus, our basket ball coach, says this is the best basketball team we've ever fielded in international com petition," Wilson went on. "It has good team size."
