Owens, the springiest man in the National Football league, who checked into the Balti more Colts training camp Thursday after nearly losing his life in an automobile ac cident in July.

Tittle orginated the "Alley-oop" pass in which Tittle would throw the ball high in the air and Owens simply would outlcap the de fenders.

By WILLIAM CLAYTON Houston, Tex.-WPIi-Mect the Houston Oilers, the "first family" of the American Foot ball league. Sixteen Houston players -nearly half the squad - have been together since the team Boros Shares Leadership in Golf Classic Akron, Ohio - IUHI - Julius Boros, the 43-ycar-old U.S. Open champion who usually plays the tough courses the best, shared the first round lead in the $55,000 American Golf Clasic today with two dark horses-Johnny Pott and Miller Barber. They cut the long, exacting Firestone Country club down to size Thursday when they shot three - under - par 67s, which was good enough to give them a three-shot lead over two pre-tourney favor ites, defending champion Ar nold Palmer and Jack Nick laus. Bclwcn the three leaders and Palmer and NicKiaus came six others-Jay lleberl, Bruce Champion, Dave Hill, Gay Brewer, Al Gcibcrger and Dave Marr. They all broke Firestone's 35-35-70 par with 69s. At even par 70 along wun Palmer and Nicklaus were former U.S. Open champion Ed Furgol, big George Bayer, Ted Kroll and Hex Baxter.

McAndrtws Read fhone 72-5271 was formed in 1060. They were key figures in the pow erhouses thai won the first two AFL championships and losl out to (he Dallas Toxans (now Kansas City Chiefs) in a double sudden-death over time playoff last December. That group includes the en tire Oilers backlield of quar terback George Blanda, run ning backs Billy Cannon and Charley Tolar, and flanker Charlie llcnnigan. It's no wonder, then, that coach Pop Ivy's most serious "problems" involve how to break in a fine crop of rookies and which experienced hands will play where. for example. Al Jamison, an All-AFL offensive tackle, was forced to retire al the close of last season because of a congenital spine ailment. Ivy immediately found two strongmen to battle i t o u I for that job - 255-pound, Wal ter Suggs, a second-year pro, and uiiclley Meredilh, a 270- pounder who has been one of the big surpises of the pre season training camp. Meredilh was a tubby 200- pound rookie two years ago and was cut from Ihe squad. ne went back to leaching and last .spring was spotted by an Oilers coach at a Lamar Tech alumni game. He was invited back, shed 20 pounds and now looks like he'll stick. Ivy felt he needed some linebacking support for Ihe regular trio of Mike Dukes, who presently is injured, Doug Clinc and Gene Babb. He found it among his rookies. Dan Brabham of Arkansas, Ihe Oilers' No. 1 draft choice, appears to be as good a linebacker as a fullback and likely will play both ways. Other promising rookie linebackers are John ny Baker of Mississippi State and Jerry Hopkins of Texas A and M. So "loaded" are Ihe Oilers with talent thai they could afford lo release Ray Jacobs, I heir No. 1 draft choice lor 1062, and Jerry Cook or Texas, their No. 3 pick for i this season. Olh'er impressive rookies in camp are Bill Tobin of Missouri and Butch Pressley of Texas A and 1, both run ning backs; Tom Brown, 255 pound tackle from I'itl; Don Donatelli, a 250-pound center from Florida State, and Will Brown, a defensive back from Grumbling (La ). Ivy says his team will be "basically the same" as last year. Which means it will be tough to beat, no mailer how you look at it. No Entry Fee For Bike Races Contrary to a previous re port there will be no entry fee charged for the Sunday bike races at the Jackson County family picnic spon sored by Jackson County Democrats. There will be nominal fees, however, for the gold panning and horseshoe pitching contests.
