. The hottest team In the Pacific

the second place Hawaii and first-:
place Spokane is just too great
to make up.

jw and 15 out of their last 16
Tuesday night in Honolulu with a
Jrec-swlnging 12-9 victory over Ta
jcoma. But Spokano shows little sign

stay 13 games ahead of the Is

chase.
- Things staved about the same

: Dallas-Ft. Worth fell a half-
game further back by losing to

workmanlike 5-1 decision over

It was a bad night for Portland
all-around. The league office
ruled Sunday's rain-spattered 2-1
decision by Portland over San

But Bob Perry hit a grand
slammer for the Islanders and Ed

Waly Butts Holds Ne w One For Record Book
As Jury Awards Him Multi-Million Verdict
P4C.E lB HFRAI.D AND MiWS. Klamath Falls. OreKon
ATLANTA (UPIi - Wallace
Butls, the round little man of
football whose teams at tlie Uni
versity of Georgia earned hkn
fame for 22 years, held a new
one for the record books today
$3,060,000 libel suit judgment
against the Saturday Evening
Post.
It was tlie second highest
award ever made in a lebel suit
and the highest ever involving a
sports personality.
Butls, sometimes called Weep
ing Wally" in football coaching
circles, wept openly when the
jury brought in its decision Tues-
day in federal court. It came
after seven hours and 18 minutes
of deliberation and climaxed a
suit that had run into its third
week in tcstimory lrom more
than 50 witnesses.
But Butts was chipper at a
news conference an hour later.
"I feel like a champ," the
former coach and then athletic
director said.
Other Developments
There were these immediate
developments:
The Saturday Evening Post
said it will appeal the award by
the jury of 12 businessmen. It
has 30 days in which to file
briefs.
Georgia defensive line coach
John Gregory, the only member
of the Georgia athletic staff to
testify for Butts, was fired from
his job by Georgia coach Johnny
Griffith. Gregory immediately
charged tlie firing came because
of his stand in tlie controversy.
Curtis Publishing Co., pub
lisher of tlie Saturday Evening
Post, said in New York that it
has slashed its losses for the sec
ond quarter to $1.0119.000 from a
loss of $14,727,000 for the tame
period last year.
Southeastern Conference Com
missioner Bernie Moore said the
verdict should help lilt "the dark
cloud" hanging over intercol
legiate football and the South
eastern Conference.
An Internal Revenue Service
spokesman in Washington indicat
ed that federal taxes may take
a big chunk of any final settle
ment. The spokesman cited a Su
preme Court decision holding that
punitive damages paia to a per
son in a libel suit are taxable
He said also that compensatory
damages also may be taxable, if
the injury for which they were
paid causes no loss of income.
Second Largest
The $3,060,000 award $110.01X1
for actual damages and $3 million
in punitive damages was sec
ond only to the $3.5 million won
by New York radio commentator
John Henry Faulk against a pub
lication. Aware. Inc.
Faulk contended an article in
Aware connected him with a pro
Communist group and led to his
dismissal by the Columbia Broad
casting System and to a subse
quent blacklist in the broadcast
industry.
Butts claimed tliat Ins charac
ter was smeared and his career
ruined by an article. "The Story
of a College Football Fix,' ap
pearing in tlie March 23 issue of
the Post.
The Post, in the magazine arti
cle, reported that Butts, in an
overheard telephone conversation,
had given valuable secrets about
the University of Georgia football
game between the two schools.

SAN MATEO, Calif. (UPI -
Tlie Pacific Coast League has

cian William J. Weiss covering

chase.

manager Bobby Bragan, whose
Braves handed the Giants their
fourth consecutive loss, 6-1, Tues
day night.
"I would say that the Los An
eclcs Dodgers have a eommand-
inc .position in the race, saw
Braitan. which was a conserv
ative estimate. The Dodgers hold
a 6 1-2 game lead over tlie second
place St. Louis Cardinals and
champions, the Giants.
I don't think San Francisco
will get back in the race because
they don't seem to have the
pitching. Billy Pierce and Jack
Sanford, who won 40 games be
tween them last year, are having
an off-season."
That's putting it mildly. Pierce,
who pitched beautiful ball for six
innings Tuesday night and had a
1-0 lead, folded completely in tlie
seventh when the first three men
singled. Bob Bolin came in to hurl
relief and like all Giants' re
lievers lately, stossed a home run
ball that clinched tlie contest for
the Braves.

Complaint

NEW YORK (UPD - Nearo

tegrated seating" in M o b i 1 e 's
Ladd Memorial Stadium has re
sulted in the cancellation of an
American Football League came
between Oakland and New York
scheduled for the Alabama city
rnaay nigiu.
The AFL office here announced
the cancellation Tuesday night
because the sponsors could not
promise completely integrated
seating the stadium, scene of the
scheduled contest.
Four members ol the Oakland
Raiders complained Monday that
the stadium was segregated, and
refused to play as long as it re
mained segregated. The players
were Art Powell, Clem Daniels,
Bo Robertson and Fred Williams.
Milt Woodard, assistant com
missioner of hte AFL, said the
decision to cancel was reached in
amicable discussion w ith the spon
soring Mobile groups and owners
Dave Werhlin of New York and
Wayne Valley of Oakland.
"Since the sponsors felt fully
integrated seating was impossible,
and Negro members of tlie com
peting teams were reluctant or
refused to play in a semi-integrated
stadium, it was incumbent
upon the league office to request
cancellation," Woodard said.
Coach Al Davis of Oakland sup
ported his players' refusal to
play and said they would not be
penalized.

United Press International
BEMIDJI, Minn. (UPI) You
might call the Minnesota Vikings
"Van Brocklin's Kiddie Korps."
Gone are all except three of the
original group of castoffs and old-
timers the Vikings acquired in
the National Football League's
"grab-bag" prior to their maiden
1961 season. Those three are line
men Grady Alderman, Gerry
Huth and Frank Youso.
Pass-catcher Jerry Reichow,
starting his eighth NFL season at
29, is the granddaddy of the
squad. He js one of only five Vik
ings with more than four seasons
of pro experience.
Last year coach Norm Van
Brocklin played 11 rookies and
8 second-year men on his two
platoons. This year there will be
a continued emphasis on rookies
and youth.
Many of the boys we have in
camp must learn a great deal,"
Van Brocklin said. "But there is
more enthusiasm this year than
ever before and I think we'll be
vastly improved."
The Vikings finished sixth in
the Western Conference last year
with a 2-11-1 mark, beating out
the last-place Ixis Angeles Rams.
I see that we're picked to fin
ish last this season," Van Brock
lin said. "That's all right wilh
me. You're in trouble when they
pick you to finish first.
The Vikings have an impres
sive group of rookies in camp led
hy free agent Ron VanderKelen
of Wisconsin.
VanderKelen, who rose to na
tional prominence in this year's
Rose Bowl game, is counted on
to back first-string quarterback
Fran Tarkenton, The young
Green Bay, Wis., native was vot
ed the outstanding player in the
College All-Star Game Aug. 2.
"VanderKelen is the same type
of boy as Tarkenton," said Van
Brocklin. "He is intelligent, eager
and a fine student of the game."
The Vikings also signed end
