PMHnr Grid Cards Need To Hold Onto Ball, Keep Healthy To Bid in Pro (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is an other in a scries of dispatches sizing up the prospects of pro football teams for the 1963 sea son.) By LEONARD ADAMS ST. LOUIS (UPI) - Someone jokingly asked coach Wally Lemm of the St. Louis Cardi nals if he planned to insure Charley Johnson's right arm with Lloyds of London. Lemm leveled a glare at the joker. "Johnson is very valuable," he said of his 23-year-old quar terback. Considering the fact thatstar running back John David Crow has been knocked out of Dupas on Feet Vhen Counted Out MILAN. Italy (UP) - Blond Sandro Mazzinghi of Italy, new world junior middleweight champion, was considering to day whether to give angry Ralph Dupas of New Orleans a chance to recapture the 154 pound crown. Mazzinghi, 24, won the title from Dupas Saturday night on a ninth-round knockout before 10,000 at the outdoor Vigorelli Velodrome. It was a major upset because Mazzinghi was little known out side Italy and was unranked among the top 10 contenders. Dupas, 28, was favored at 2-1 in the betting. They fought in a light drizzle. Dupas, weighing 152'2 pounds to Sandro's 153, slipped in the first round and fell out of the ring. He was floored by a left hook in the second round and by a short right in the ninth. Rose at Eight When Dupas rose at "eight" in the ninth, he staggered help lessly backwards against the ropes. Referee Rudolph Neuhold of Switzerland continued the count to "10 and out." It was the first time in any world title fight that a boxer had been counted out on his feet. In title bouts, down through the years, when a boxer appear ed helpless on his feet, it was the custom for the referee to "stop" the fight usually after a gesture of agreement from the ring physician and award the winner a "technical knockout." Because of referee Newhold's new safety kayo change, Dupas angrily declared he had been the victim of a "madman" referee's "illegal ruling," and he demand ed a return title fight. Late Sun day Dupas flew to Australia to keep in shape by boxing there, TIE IN TOURNEY ABERDEEN, Wash. (UPI) -Joe Golis and Ockic Eliason, both of Tacoma, tied for first place in the $2,500 Grays Harbor Pro-Amateur golf tournament Sunday. Each shot a 142, two over par for 36 holes. Harvey Hixson of Cottage Grove, Ore., was fourth at 144, and Marlow Quick, Astoria, carded a 147 for 10th. TUESDAY THRU THURSDAY SEAT BELT S) OO INSTALLATION A WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY ONLY Complete Wheel Alignment Correct Caster Call for Appointment Set Toe-ln Adiust Steering Check All Parti Set Camber Loop Race action by a knee injury for at least the first three games of the season, Lemm s comment was the understatement of the month. Injuries and fumbles ruined the Cards in 1962. And here Lemm's key ball carrier is sidelined even before the start of this season. "We're glad Crow didn't need an operation," Lemm said, "be cause that means he will be back sooner. But there is still no telling how the knee will hold up in competition." Fair-haired Boy Johnson is the fair-haired boy of the Cardinals. He came off the bench in the fourth game of last season and set club records for pass completions (150) and passing yardage (2,440). Behind him is Buddy Humph rey, who has replaced Sam Etchoverry as No. 2 man. Etch everry asked for his release during pre-season training be cause he wanted a starting job and felt he could do better else where. While Crow is out of action, the rushing load will fall on Prentice Gautt and Joe Child ress. With Sonny Randle and Bobby Joe Conrad as Johnson's prime receivers, the Cards again should have a strong passing at tack. Randle and Conrad were ranked second and third among National Football League pass catchers last season. Lemm realizes his rushers will have to hold on to the ball better than last season when they fumbled 31 times. Crow fumbled 14 times. Rookies Look Good Rookies have been a source of joy to Lemm. Don Brymm of Purdue has won a defensive end post and Larry Stallings of Georgia Tech is another good bet at linebacker. Lemm is also pleased . with his first draft choice, defensive back Jerry Stovall of LSU; flanker Jackie Smith of Northeast Louisiana, tackle Sam Silas of Southern Illinois, fullback Bill (Thunder) Thornton of Nebraska and flank er Billy Gambrell, who was signed as a free agent from South Carolina. Another source of pleasure to Lemm has been the comeback of Fate Echols at defensive tackle. Echols was the first draft choice in 1962 but he was temporarily cut from the team because of overweight and slow ness. This year a slimmer Ech ols is giving Don Owens a battle for the starting position. The defensive backfield will be composed of veterans with rookies pushing at every posi tion. The starters arc Hill, Lar ry Wilson and an ex-Green Bay Packer, John Symank. Starter Bill Stacy sustained a fractured check-bone in Satur day's exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings, and doc tors said he will be lost to the team for one month. Lemm, in summing up his chances, said, "We think we have a good ball club. Our goal is the division championship and that's all we talk about." "If only we can stop fumbling and stay healthy," he added.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor AKRON, Ohio (UPI) - Jack Nicklaus did it again. It was, he said, "my five iron on theh 13th hole which did the job" the job being the $50,000 first place money in the World Series of Golf. It was the second year in a row that burly Jack came up with the biggest golf purse of the year. He shot a final round 35-35 70 Sunday, matching par for the 7,165-yard Firestone Coun try club course. That gave him a total of 140 even par for theh two rounds. Victor By Stroke It was one stroke better than Julius Boros wound up with. He had a final round 37-3269, but his late charge left him one shot behind Nicklaus with a total of 141. Arnold Palmer, suffering from a painful right shoulder, wound up with a 36-3672 for 143. Bob Charles, the New Zealand left hander who won the British Open, finished last with a 147, taking a 77 in the final round. On the key 13th, a par-four 460-yardcr, Palmer drove into the trees, hit another tree on his second shot and wound up with a double bogey six. Nicklaus hit his five-iron sec ond shot the big one 12 feet from the cup and sank the putt. MKDKOKI) stead of an Australian monop oly on the two U. S. tennis championships today. Mexico's Rafael Osuna and Brazil's Maria Pucno, graceful as panthers and just as danger ous, swept to the national sin gless championships at Forest Hills Sunday with straight set victories that signaled the end of Australia's domination and at least a temporary setback to a budding American boom. Osuna trounced 21-ycar-oId Frank Froehling III of Coral Gables, Fla 7-5, 6-4, 6-2, and the lithe Miss Pueno climaxed a tremendous comeback by de feating Margaret Smith of Aus tralia, 7-5, 6-4. Miss Smith, reigning Wimbledon queen, won the U. S. title only a year ago. At this point a year ago Maria was recovering from an attack of hepatitis, and many observers felt she never again would come back to the peak that led her twice to Wimble don crowns and to the U. S. championship in 1959. Osuna's victory made it the CORVALLIS (UPI) - Oregon State's football team switched to one workout a day today in pre paration for their Sept. 21 open er against Utah at Salt Lake City.

Main OREGON Defense Highlights Bruin ASHLAND "Defense did too good a job," said Ashland High Football Coach John Gray in looking back on the Grizzlies in trasquad engagement Saturday night. Gray had divided the Bruins into crews of apparent equal abil ity. And, that's the way it work ed out. The tussle was a score less stalemate. The head mentor, who watch ed from the stands while assis tants Bill Lcybold and George Kcil handled the teams, was 'well pleased" with the tack ling, pursuit and rotation of the players but said, "we re going to have to work some more on offense." Both teams used standard defense and did a pretty good job stopping our offense. We're going to have to work on out blocking more," Gray remark ed. Need Passing Work He said also that the Griz zlies will have to spend some more time on their passing. The Ashlandcrs have good passers in Dave Bargcr and Dave Loh man but receivers have trouble hanging on to the ball. Gray was impressed by the mobility of tackle Jack Gruber on defense and by the lincback ing of Don Scholer. Roger Ath erton and Mike Torresan did good jobs as opposing right half backs. While defense held of fense mostly to two or three yard gains, each broke away for a run of about 40 yards. Some fine running and block ing was turned in by Dennis Ekwall at left half. Both teams looked just about the same, according to Gray, who termed the game "real interesting." He said the kick ing game was "real smooth.' Three periods of 20 minutes each were played Gray said that the grizzlies will practice at 7:30 o'clock this evening and go to alternoon drills on Tuesday in prepara tion for the Friday opener at Ashland against Shasta high of Redding, Calif.
