Rams' QB
Job Still
Wide Open
By NORMAN MILLER
UPI Sporti WriUr
will all those wiseguys
who said Terry Baker was
just another college hot-shot
who couldn't make it in the
tough National Football
league go soak their heads
both of them.
Baker, the 1962 Hetsman
trophy winner, returned to
his hometown of Portland,
Ore., for the first time as a
pro quarterback for the Los
Angeles Rams Saturday night,
end he wowed 'em.
The 195-pound left-handed
slinger, whom many figured
as too frail and certainly too
inexperienced to handle the
job for the Rams, played the
entire game and led the team
to a 20-17 pre-season victory
over the Dallas Cowboys be
fore 29,349 fans.
Only Exhibition
Of course, it was only an
exhibition game and there
will be many hard knocks be
fore Baker wins his "R" with
the Rams. But at least for one
night he looked great. Here's
what Baker did:
Completed a 44-yard pass
play to Pervis Atkins on the
first play of the final quarter
for the winning touchdown;
Found his receivers on 12
of 20 passing attempts for 192
yards-and was intercepted
only once;
Carried 16 yards on a
run;
And, according to coach
Harland Svare, called "99 per
cent" of the plays.
In other weekend NFL ex
hibition games, the Minne
sota Vikings edged the New
York Giants, 17-16, and the
Cleveland Browns trounced
the San Francisco Forty Nin
ers, 24-7, both on Sunday. In
Saturday night games, the
Green Bay Packers walloped
the Chicago Bears, 26-7; the
Detroit Lions defeated the St.
Louis Cardinals, 22-17; the
Philadelphia Eagles swamped
the Washington Redskins, 41
13; and the Baltimore Colts
edged the Pittsburgh Steelers,
17-14.
In American Football
League games, the Buffalo
Bills beat the Boston Patriots,
24-14, Saturday night, and the
Oakland Raiders clobbered
the New York Jets, 43-16,
Sunday.
WHITWORTH WINNER

To 20-17 Nod
Portland - (UPU - Terry Ba
ker may not have won the
starting quarterback's j o b
with the Los Angeles Rams
Saturday night - but he didn't
hurt his chances.
The rookie from Oregon
State guided the Rams to a
20-17 National Football league
exhibition win over the Dal
las Cowboys before 29,349
persons here. It was the
Rams' first victory and the
Cowboys' initial defeat in
three exhibition games this
season.
"The starting quarterback
job is wide open and always
has been," Los Angeles Coach
Harland Svare said after the
game.
Svare, whose quarterbacks
corps include sophomore Ro
man Gabriel and veteran
Zeke Bratkowski, would not
divulge who would open at
quarter back against the
Cleveland Browns in the
Rams' fourth exhibition game
next week end.
Called Moit Plays
"It takes years to become
a polished quarterback in this
league but Terry was con
siderably better than a week
ago in part-time effort in a
27-0 loss to Minnesota," the
coach added.
"He called 99 per cent of
the plays tonight."
The victory, which came
before the largest crowd ever
to see a professional football
game in Multnomah Stadium,
was the first for Los Angeles
since last Oct. 28 when it de
feated the San Francisco
49ers 28-14 in a league game.
It was Svare's first win as
head coach of the Rams.
Five other players with
Oregon backgrounds also
shared the spotlight.
Bill Swain, former Uni
versity of Oregon center from
North Bend, played the entire
game at middle linebacker for
the Rams in place of the in
jured Marlin McKeever.
Winning Combination
Still Being Sought
For Forty Niners
San Francisco - (UPI) - It
was back to the drawing
board today for Coach Red
Hickey of the San Francisco
Forty Niners, while the Cleve
land Browns celebrated their
first NFL exhibition win, an
easy 24-7 victory over the
Forty Niners Sunday.
Still searching for his first
triumph in three starts, Hic
key had only four days to put
together a winning combina
tion before the Forty Niners
meeet Dallas Friday night at
Bakersfield.
From the way it went Sun
day, Hickey faces a man-sized
job. The crowd of 28,335 at
Kezar Stadium booed the For
ty Niners in general and No.
1 quarterback John tirocue
in particular, long and loud.
Brodfe never was able to
move San Francisco past the
Browns' 45-yard line in t h e
first half.
On the other hand, Cleve
land, under new coach Blan
ton Collier, appeared to have
jelled in the Forty Niner
game with fullback Jim
Brown again showing why he
is one of the game's outstand
ing runners and Frank Ryan
contributing accurate passing
at the quarterback spot.
Brown, a six-year veteran,
had a hand in all three of
Cleveland's touchdowns.

John Pott
Champion
In Classic
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sporti Editor
Akron, Ohio - IUPU - There
are two things that Johnny
Pott, the new champion of
the American Golf classic,
likes to do:
Win money and beat Ar
nold Palmer.
He did both Sunday.
Pott won the $9,000 first
place money in the Classic
by beating Palmer by four
strokes. He shot an even par
3S-3S-70 in the final round
Sunday over what the tour
ing pros label the toughest
golf course they have to play
- the 7,165-yard Firestone
Country club layout.
For Pott, it was only the
fourth tournament victory in
his seven years on the tour.
"But it was by far my great
est," said the 27-year-old Pott.
"When you beat Palmer, you
beat the greatest."
Pott, before Sunday, hadn't
won a tournament since the
Waco Turner in May of 1962.
Before that he had won at
Dallas and West Palm Beach.
Denver Next Stop
Now he has set his sights
on this week's Denver Open.
Pott, who tied for the first
round lead and then led the
field alone going into the
third and fourth rounds
picking up $2,333 in bonus
money for doing it - figured
when he teed off Sunday that
"I had to shoot a 68 or 69
to win."
His total of 276 for the
four rounds tied the tourna
ment record set by Palmer
when he won the Classic last
year.
Palmer's final round 37-36-73,
three over par, gav him
a total of 280 - exact par for
the course and increased his
money-winnings to $101,555.
U. S. Open champion Julius
Boros, with a final round 71,
finished third with 281, that
boosted his money winnings
for 1963 to $73,956. That is
only behind Palmer and Jack
Nicklaus, the Masters and
PGA champion, who picked
up $2,200 by finishing in a
tie for fifth place to increase
his official earnings to $83,
465. Young Dave Hill finished
fourth with a 69 for 282. Then
came Nicklaus and British
Open champion Bob Charles
at 283, followed by Paul
Bondeson at 284 and Bobby
Nichols at 285.

Buffalo Has Potential
To Make Serious Run for
Eastern Diadem in AFL
(Editor's note: This is an
other in a series of dispatches
siting up the prospects of pro
football teams for the 1963
season.)
By MARTIN GLEASON
Buffalo. N.Y. - IUPU - Lou
Saban sidesteps all references
lo an American Football
league title being just over
the horizon, but he concedes
his Buffalo Bills have the po
tential to make a serious run
for the Eastern division
sweepstakes in 1963.
The 41 - year - old Saban,
starting his second season at
the Buffalo reins, had the
most feared team in the
league during the stretch
drive a year ago. Led by
former San Diego quarterback
Jack Kemp and the record
rushes of 243-pound fullback
Cookie Gilchrist, the Thund
ering Herd reeled off seven
victories and a tie over the
last nine games after absorb
ing five straight losses.
Saban refused to stand pat
for 1963 because "the league
is getting stronger every
ytar." He was productively
active in the trading mart and
corraled a host of promising
rookies from the draft.
The yearlings, described by
Saban as the "best crop of
rookies I have seen in four
years," are headed by center
tackle Dave Behrman of Mich
igan State, the top draft
choice, and 265-pound defense
tackle Jim Dunaway of Mis
sissippi, the No. 2 pick.
Others Also Impress
All - American fullback
George Saimes of Michigan
State and "darkhorse" Ed
Rutkowski of Notre Dame
have impressed in training
and Saban rates both as ver
satile enough for double duty.
Saimes will be relief man for
Gilchrist as well as a defen
sive safety. Rutkowski is a
defense corner back and a
running back.

back Daryl Lamonica, has
made such a strong showing
that he has cost veteran War
ren Rabb his job as Kemp's
understudy.
"Daryl learns fast and is a
real hard thrower," says Sa
ban. "We think he will make
a great one."
The Bills obtained 254
pound offensive guardtacklc
Dick Hudson from the Charg
ers in exchange for the rights
to the nomadic Tobm Rote.
Saban bought proven line
backer Harry Jacobs from
Boston and signed three-year
National Football league vet
eran Jim Leo for defensive
end work.
"These fellows will give us
depth," Saban said.
May Prove Vital
Three other moves may
prove vital this year. The
Bills acquired second - year
end Bill Miller from the Kan
sas City Chiefs, and the for
mer Miami (Fla.) ace imme
diately took over the tough
split end position from Glenn
Bass.
Saban has switched Bay
lor's Tim Mintcr, a rookie dc
fender last year, lo flanker
back on offense "and the ex
periment has been a tremen
dous surprise. Minter has
made a speedy transition."
Ken Rice, who sat out the
1962 season with a left knee
injury after showing great
promise as an offensive tackle
two years ago, has stepped in
as a defensive end.
Saban has coaxed onetime
Georgia halfback Fred Brown
out of retirement and the
speedster will fight rookie
Roger Kochman of Penn State
for the outside running slot
that has been a debit in past
campaigns.
Saban feels the league is
gaining in stature. "This is
due to the better caliber of
players. It is no longer a cake
walk. We will have to earn
every win."
