That is the vow of Fred Herrmann, ex-Crater High school baseball pitcher who hurled for three teams in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm sys tem during the past season. Grosscup Stars for NY Titans United Press International For three years now Lee Grosscup has been trying to tell everyone that he's a pro quarterback and he proved it convincingly in his first game for the New York Titans in the American Football league. Grosscup, a bench-warmer three seasons for the New York Giants of the National league and a reject by the Minnesota Vikings last week, threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Art Powell the first time he got his hands on the ball in the AFL. In an incredible perform ance for a newcomer who had joined the club only 48 hours previously, Grosscup, ex Utah, completed two more TD tosses Sunday in leading the Titans to a 28-17 upset vic tory over the Oakland Raid ers. Oilers Win The Houston Oilers began their quest for a third straight AFL championship by beating off the Buffalo Bills' desper ate last-half comeback for a 28-23 triumph in Sunday's on ly other game. On Saturday night, the Dallas Texans trounced the Boston Patriots, 42-28. "I've been frustrated sitting on the bench for three years," said quarterback Grosscup to day. "It's wonderful to get to play football again. "I guess I should have been playing in the American league all along." Grosscup was picked up by the Titans on Friday. "I didn't think we'd be able to use him in the Sunday game." said Coach Clyde Bull dog Turner. "But when I got to talking to him I found out he was a very intelligent lad and that he learned the plays real quick. Herrmann, who will reside in Medford until spring train ing calls, pitched for Tulsa, Okla., in the Class AA Texas league, for Portsmouth, Va., in the Class A Salley league, and for Winnipeg, Man., in the C Northern league, dur ing the 1962 campaigns. The ex-Comet, who went on to shine for Linfield col lege, said that he had a real good spring in training with the Cards. With Tulsa he got off to a bad start and he nev er came back during the sea son. "I felt 1 did not get to throw enough," he declared. Will Be All Right Herrman said determinedly, "Next year I'll be all right again. The twirler reported that he spent about one-third of the season with each team. His pitching records were 1-2 at Tulsa, 0-3 at Portsmouth and 2-4 at Winnipeg. He was used mostly in relief. His bat ting mark was around .200. Herrman believes he is tick eted to go back to double or triple A ball next spring. He was with Portland of the Pa cific Coast league in 1961. During the off season he will work for Oregon Tire and attend night classes at South ern Oregon. He has eight hours left to complete for a degree. Fred's wife is the former Dixie Walker of Gold Hill. Jack Nicklaus Victor in World Series; Finds He Links Belongs By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Akron, Ohio -IW- Jack Nicklaus, only 22, was right up there at the top today but een more important to him was the fact that he finally knows he "belongs." He knocked off the other major champions Arnold Palmer and Gary Player for the S50.000 first place money in the first "world series" of golf Sunday and that con vinced him. "I've been doing well," Nicklaus observed with a smile. "But I wondered even after I won the U. S. Open whether I belonged up there with the "king" that's Pal mer and all the rest. "1 guess I do now." He does. When he came from behind to beat Palmer and Player by fi i strokes in the televi sion spectacular, which match ed the winners of the four major golf crowns, it left lit tle doubt that there is a new golf champion in the making. Feels Conlident - Nicklaus had that feeling, too. , "I'm not interested in one grand slam, I'd like to have at least two," he smiled when asked whether he had the same ambition as Palmer to win all the four big ones in the same year. That would be the Masters and British Open, which Palmer won this year, the PGA which Player won, and the Open, which Nicklaus look in a playoff with Palmer. So when he fired a one-under-par over the Firestone Country club course Sunday, it was the second time that, head to head, he had beaten the man he calls the greatest golfer of our times Palmer. Palmer led Nicklaus by one stroke and Player by four go ing into Sunday's final 18 holes of play. Palmer had fired a five-under-par 65 on the first round, scrambling all the way to do it. So it looked like "Mr. Moneybags" was going to pick up another fifty grand. Loses Putting Touch But Sunday his putter let him down. On his opening round 65, he had 11 putts on the first nine holes. Sunday he had 19. "That's why I got beat," said Palmer. Palmer's game Sunday was just the opposite of his Satur day round. On Saturday he had birdies on the first three holes and on the eighth. Sun day he bogeyed all four, three of them with three-putt greens. Nicklaus won it with three birdies on the back nine. He went out in 37, two over par over the 7,165-yard Fire stone course, but came home in 32 for a one-under-par 69 and a total of 135. Palmer, noted for his stretch charges, chopped up the course with a four-over par 39-35 74. That left him in a tie with Player who had an even par 35-35 70. They each won $12,500, splitting the second place and third-place money of $15,000 and $10,000. Indianapolis Winds Up in Potent Style United Preis International The Indianapolis Indians wound up their pennant-winning 1962 season yeserday in the powerful style that drove them 10 games in front of the nearest contender. The tribe pleased a home town crowd by walloping the Oklahoma City 89ers 4-1, a victory which brought indivi dual league honors to three Indian players. Omaha finished the season in second place, followed by Denver, Louisville, Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth.
