It's Necessary to Be
Testimony, FCA Youths Told
Afhland - "It is necessary
to be a living testimony,"
Ducky Drake, track coach of
the UCLA Bruins, told the
young men attending the Fel
lowship of Christian Athletes
western conference here last
night.
Drake, speaking after a
chuck wagon supper at the
Southern Oregon college atn
letic field, emphasited the in
fluence their lives can have
on others. "You boys must
be a living example to the
ooys wun wnom you tunic m
contact," he said.
"Each of you has someone
who idolizes you. You may
not even know who he is,"
the coach brought out. He
declared that a small remark
can make a big Impression.
"We must be ever mindful
of what we do and say,"
Drake advised the athletes,
pointing out that remarks
made can influence the out
look and life of others.
Clean Heart
"Keep always a clean heart
and a clean mind . . . Jesus
intended that your life should
be a living testimony," Drake
said. He also told the youths,
"If you are big enough and
tough enough you'll stand up
for the things you'll believe."
Drake spoke of the role of
a coach in being a living ex
ample and living inspiration
in helping make better men
and better citizens. He said
he always reads his Bible
nd prays that he'll be used
each day to show someone a
better way of life.
To be a successful coach, it
Is impossible to do the Job

EDITOR'S NOTEi This is

professional football teams
for the 11(3 season.
GREEN BAY PACKERS
Br GENE W. HINTZ
Green Bay, Wis. -WD- The
Green Bay Packers, minus
two regulars and plus a new
"man-on the -move" offense,
set out this tall to win an un
precedented third successive
National Football league play
off championship.
Only the Packers in 1928,
1030 and 1931 have ever won
that many consecutive titles
in the NFL and that was be-
fore the playoff system was
inaugurated in 1833.
Coach Vince Lombard!, who
has yet to experience a losing
year despite taking over a
team that had won just one of
12 games the year before he
arrived in 1959, had two im
mediate problems to solve
when practice sessions started
month ago.
-He had to replace Paul
Hornung, the league's "Mr.
Everything" who was ban
ished by Commissioner Pete
Rozelle tor at least a year be
cause of gambling.
-He had to replace veteran
defensive end Bill Quinlan,
who was traded to Philadel
phia by way of New York af
ter a run-in with Lombardi
on the West Coast last fall.
Lombardi admits Hornung
can't be replaced as such, so
he's revamped his offense
slightly to both deal with that
problem and give fullback
Jimmy Taylor a lighter share
of the offensive load.
Taylor, the NFL's top scor
er and ground gainer last
year, seems to have recovered
from a winter bout with hep-
atitis, but has been hampered
during the exhibition season
by a sore knee.
The new offense, which is
basically just throwback to
the old double wing. Involves
multiple flankera and a man
in motion. The fullback lines
up behind the quarterback
and both halfbacks flank
wide. One of the halfbacks
can go into motion and come
back to the quarterback
where the play develops.
"We used it once last year,'
Lombardi said. "We'll see how
tar it goes this year."
' That doesn't mean Lorn

"big back" offense. Tom
Moore and Earl Gros both can

on someone else and that
someone is Jesus Christ. He
quoted from Proverbs, "Lean
not on thine own understand
ing" and "be not wise in your
own eyes."
Drake reported that he be
longs to the Methodist church
but "it does not make much
difference what church 1 at
atend or what you belong to."
Working with all faiths, he
said he finds young people
"are pretty much the same."
Master's Hand
Drake declared that the
possibilities and opportuni
ties for a young athlete are
unlimited but that needed are,
courage, Btrength, concentra
tion, prayer and "the touch
of the Master's hand."
"On the way up the ladder
of success," he also remarked,
"don't influence any boy in
the wrong way because you
have slipped off the rung."

...h'm irnintf in net more: if

Drake also described tne
ion rirrathlnn contest be
tween Rafer Johnson and C.
K. Yang in the Olympic games
at Rome. He coached both
athletes at UCLA. He termed
it "the moBt dramatic athletic
mnlnt I've ever seen." He
pointed to the faith, courage
and confidence oi xang ana

Carpenter could be sleepers.
Pltti doesn't fulfill Lombar
di's requirement for a "big
back" at just slightly more
than 200 pounds, but the
speedster from tiny Philader
Smith College would be the
ideal halfback In the man-on-the-move
offense.
Carpenter also isn't big, but
he can throw the option pass,
and despite the offensive re
vamping, the run-pass option
still looms big In the Packer
plans. Hornung was a master
at executing that play.
Replacing Quinlan could be
tougher. Henry Jordan, a per
ennial all-pro tackle candi
date, has worked out at end.
But Lombardi would be hap
pier if Urban Henry, a trans
plant from the Los Angeles
Rams, or rookies Lionel Al
dridge of Utah State or Tony
Lisclo of Tulsa could take
over.
Henry and Ron Kostelnik, a
reserve defensive tackle, have
occupied Jordan's tackle spot.
Needs Strengthening
Linebacker, usually a strong
point, may need bolstering
and Lombardi looks to either
Dave Robinson, the No. 1
draft choice from Penn State,
or Ken Iman, a reserve center,
to help there.
The regular ltnebacKing
trio of Ray Nitschke, Bill For
ester and Dan Currie is con
sidered the best in the league.
But Currie had a bad leg last
year and Nietschke has been
hobbled with a back Injury
for most ol the exhibition sea-
n.
The strong point of the of
fense is the line, which has
all-pros Fred (Fuzzy) Thurston
and Jerry Kramer at guards,
Jim Ringo at center and For
rest Gregg at tackle. Bob
Skoronski and Norm Masters
share the other tackle spot.
The ends, always strong,
are enforced by the addition
of three outstanding rookies
this year-Bob Jeter of Iowa,
Marv Fleming of Utah and
Jan Barrett of Fresno State.
They'll find It hard, however,
beating out Ron Kramer, Max
McGee and Boyd Dowler. Vet
eran reserve Gary Barnes also
is available.
Quarterback Bart Starr
could hold the key to a sue

The former bicycling cham
pion related that he was one
of the leaders of a group
which tried to fight a Chris
tian man from America by
deriding and trying to brain
wash Moslem people who had
been converted to Christian
ity. Unity was noted among
the converts and it was de
cided to infiltrate the church
by becoming baptized and
then destroy the church from
within.
In time Sharifi and the two
other leaders all were con
verted. Becoming a Christian
in Iran means being ostracized
and suffering. "But for me
suffering was a pleasure," he
said. "To me," he also stated,
"Christianity is a natural feel

through the hard way."
"Don't be afraid of perse

audience. "You won't suffer.
