Good Hustle At Crater Central Point - Pretty good hustle, even during calisthen ics, has been noted on the Crater High school football squad m drills so far. Coach Leonard Warren said that 35 to 40 players have turned out for the varsity crew. There are another 22 on the freshman squad. It had been planned to have the frosh turned out later but it was decided that the addi tional turnouts could be han dled, Warren reported. He said that the boys now iresn men would be a big help to the Comets next year when fw seniors will be available. It's strictly fundamentals and conditioning so far in the practices at 9 a jn. and 7 p.m. Work is mostly on machines and dummies with very little live contact. The Comets will not workout on Saturday this week, according to Warren. The big intrasquad scrimmage is set for Friday, Sept. 4. With the exception of Dar rell Williamson, a tackle, who is expected to turn out short ly, all eligible lettermen from last year are on hand.

U.S. Hurting on Eve Of Pan Am Rivalry By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Chicago - (UPD - The United States was hurting in more ways than one today, on the eve of the opening of the third Pan American games. They were hurting prestige wise and also athletic-wise, the latter being the reason these games were inaugurated back in 1951. In the prestige league, the U. S. way of doing things wasn't exactly what the doc tor ordered so far as most of the other 23 North and South American nations competing in the games were concerned. The grumblings, which first started when the vanguard of almost 1,700 athletes from the competing countries outside the United States arrived last week, were increasing. Chances Decreasing Meanwhile, the U.S. chances of .spread-eagling the field athletically were decreasing. Injuries and late arrivals fig ured to keep the U. S. team from full strength. In the decathlon, in which the U. S. was counting on sweeping the gold, silver and bronze medals, it looked like Mike Herman of New York university would be lost to the host forces. He suffered an ankle injury in practice and the U. S. team trainers said there was little chance he would be able to compete. In the pole vault, Don Bragg of Villanova had an infected heel and there was doubt whether he would be in the best of condition when the athletic competition of these games opens on Friday a day after the formal official opening ceremonies. Added to that was the fact that at least 20 of the 404 members of the U. S. team still were absent and were not scheduled to appear until Friday because of summer school examinations or other commitments. So lacking the practice usually mapped out for the athletes, there was a Promoter Accused as Front Man New York -(DPD- Fight pro moter Vincent J. Velella i re turns from Sweden today with signed contracts for a $3 million Johansson - Patter son rematch to find himself accused of being just a "front man" for a missing mobster. The mysterious mobster, previously known only as "Mr. X" in the grand jury's boxing investigation, was identified by Dist. Atty. Frank Hogan as Anthony (Fat Tony) Salerno-an associate of noto rious underworld characters. Hogan said his detectives had unsuccessfully sought Sa lerno for two weeks as al leged undercover financial backer of the June 26 fight in which Ingemar Johansson of Sweden won the world heavyweight champio n s h i p from Floyd Patterson on a third-round knockout. Just as the grand jury com pleted its investigation of the June fight promotion Tues day, Velella - at Goteborg, Sweden-finally got Johnsson to sign new contracts for next year's return bout with Pat terson, after three days of Goteborg negotiations and two months of incredible con fusion. The fight will be staged somewhere In the United States, between March 1 and June 15. Los Angeles, Phila delphia and Houston, Tex., have been bidding for it, with guarantees ranging from $750,000 to $1,000,000. - question of whether ' they would be in top shape. Despite it all, however, the U. S. still was heavily favored to win the unofficial team title of the games, expected to serve as a prelude to the U. S. chances in the 1960 Olympics at Rome. In the grumbling . depart ment, the U. S. itself was in volved. It seems that officials of the games forgot to notify all of the U. S. delegation that the official flag raising ceremony for the U. S. quar ters at the housing village on the University . of Chicago campus was scheduled to be held Tuesday afternoon. Sev eral of the U. S. executives showed up, were left standing in the hot sun until it was decided to re-schedule the flag raising ceremony for 11 a.m. today so all U. S. officials could be present. SPORTS 95 Issued MHS Grid Uniforms Medford High school's foot ball squad probably will hold its first scrimmage this Satur day morning, head coach Fred Spiegelberg has reported. Each player likely will see about one-half hour of action, he said. A total of 95 uniforms have been issued to Black Tornado grid candidates. Turnout for each of the workouts has ay eraged about 85 youths. In addition to conditioning drills, there has been a lot of group work with offensive fundamentals getting the em phasis. Spiegelberg said that line aspirants have been work ing at individual blocking. Backs have drilled at ball handling and ball carrying and have run through plays to improve timing. New plays have been added each day to the Tornado of fense and the squad has run through them in dummy scrimmage. Thirty of the 32 lettermen who'll be in school this year have been on hand for drills.
