Coaches Ron Pheister, Larry Burleson and Howard Mor ris were optimistic after greeting the new gridders. The morning was devoted to issuing equipment. Line coach Larry Burleson was all smiles as he handed out several size 40 pants and size eight helmets. The afternoon was spent clock ing the players in 60 and 100 yard dashes. The 90-dcgree weath er and the Owls' mile high track were not the best conditions for the gridders. However, times were good considering the condi tions. The fastest was a 9.9 turned in by Claude Ship, a back. A large majority ran in the 10.5 11.5 area while some 250-pound line men were timed in 14.0. A hew addition to the O w 1 camp was Mike Glines. He is an outstanding quarterback from Crater High. Coach Pheister feels that the addition of Glines will be an advantage for the Owls. He is sharing quarterback honors with Lloyd Smith, another high school star. The combination of By Ted Williams Since 1950 Whiz Kid Fling Jimmie Hall was 18 months old when Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams hit 31 homers in 1939 and set an American League rec ord for rookies. Today Hall, a free - swinging lefty from Mount Holly, N.C., has equalled the great batsman's mark and has 17 games kit in which to set a new standard. And the way Hall and his Minnesota Twin teammates hit homers. there's little doubt that he'll make it. Tile six-foot, 175-pound Hall hit his 30th and 31st homers of the season Monday night to pace the Twins to a 7-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Hall's homers also enabled the Twins to tie the major league record of three players on one team with 30 or more homers. With 203 homers for the season, the Twins also are likely to wind up second only to the 1961 New York Yankees, who set the major league mark of 240 homers in a season. The Indians took a 3-0 lead on early homers by Vic Davalillo and Bob Chance but Bob Allison homered for the Twins in the fourth and Hall hit his first of the game in the sixth. Hall's sec ond homer tied the score in the eighth inning and the Twins went to score four more runs to give Bill l'leis ins sixth win ol the season. Minnesota's three 30 - homer sluggers are Harmon Killebrew 1371, Allison (33) and Hall. The majo,- league record for homers by a rookie is 38 and is held by Wally Berger and Frank Robin son. The Kansas City Athletics de layed the Yankees' march toward a fourth straight pennant, 7-6, the Chicago White Sox beat the Bal timore Orioles, 9-4, the Detroit Ti gers swept the Washington Sena tors, 1-0 and 10-7, and the Boston Red Sox topped the Los Angeles Angels, 5-2, in other AL games these two should help solve the Owls Jield general problems. The lone returning letterman was Ken Lenhardt, a 5' 10," 205- pound guard. Lenhardt was last season's outstanding lineman and will captain the '63 Owl squad. Official practice began Monday. The Owls have daily doubles for the next two weeks. Practice be gins at 9 a.m. and again at. 5:30 p.m. A scrimmage will be held on Modoc 'Field at 2 p.m. on Satur day, Sept. 14.

Results 'Firehouse Four Gives Oregon Promise For 1963 Editor's Note: This is the first in n scries of dispatches deal ing with the 1963 prospects of West Coast college football teams. By HOWARD APP1.EGATE United Press International EUGENE, Ore. (UPI) A speedy backfield dubbed the "firehouse four" and an eager group of hefty linemen promise a winning season for coach Len Casanova, starting his 13th year as head coach at the independent University of Oregon. All-America ace Mel Renfro is back for his senior season at half back, completely recovered trom injuries suffered during the track and field season. As a result Packers, Lions, Steelers, Bears Declare Readiness By United Press International Coaches Vince Lombardi of Green Bay, George Wilson of De troit, Buddy 'Parker of Pittsburgh and George Halas of Chicago had had news for the rest of the National Football League Tues day. All four pronounced their teams in top physical condition for this weekend's opening games of the NFL season. Parker said his Steelers were in their best physical condition for the start of a season in years. He credited a new pre - season physical fitness program which stressed running and no contact sessions for the lack of injuries The Packers were sent through an unusually rough Monday work out by lxmhardi, who denounced Green Bay's winning effort last Saturday night as "sloop y." Tackle Dave Hanner suffered a broken thumb in the exhibition game with Washington but is ex iiected to plav Sunday. Wilson said the Lions were in the best condition since tlie train inj season opened. Ollie Matson whom the Lions obtained from the Rams last month, ran at top speed Monday for the first time Defensive end Hon isiicuuen. linebacker Larry Morris and back Charlie Bivins were laken off the Bears' injured list.

The Giants were heartened by the return of backs Phil King and Alex Webster to full time status for New York. However, vcleran backs Frank Gifford and Hugh McElhenny and guards Bookie Bolin and Darrell Dess are still nursing injuries.

Renfro will team in a starting backfield that has shifty senior Larry Hill at the other half- Lu Bain, a 9.9 man in the 100, at fullback; and Bob Berry at1 quarter. Casanova figures, loo, to have a faster line than last season. The Ducks lost heavily by graduation up front, but there seems to be adequate replacements, especial ly with the likes of guards Ron Jones and Dave Wilcox, centers Oliver McKinney and Ron Strat- ten, and tackles Ron Berg and Lowell Dean. Rich Schwab, Dick lmwalle and Paul Burelson are back at ends, and a sophomore named Ray Palm is said to have one of the finest pair of hands displayed by an Oregon end in years. Berry, a nervy kid who proved a real take-charge guy as sophomore last year, has Doug Post, the 1961 regular, back tol help him at quarterback this sea son. Berry, a good runner, com pleted 62 passes for 995 yards in 1962. The gridiron antics of Ren fro and a guy named Terry Baker of Oregon State grabbed most of the headlines a year ago but Berry could be one of the West's best this season. A couple of sophomores, Tim Casey, a fullback, and Don Causey, a center, look like real comers. Both are scheduled for heavy defensive duty. Johnson Succumbs To Injury KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI I Stone Johnson captured the fan cy of the Kansas City Chiefs with his smooth, fleet running. Today he fostered their grief. Johnson is dead. The 23 - year - old rookie, who once ran tile 100-yard dash in a record-tying 9.3 seconds, sue cumbod late Sunday to a paralyz-! ing back injury he suffered eight days earlier in an exhibi tion American Football League (AFL) game at Wichita, Kan. Funeral services for the flank er back were scheduled for Wednesday at Munger Baptist Church in Dallas, where the young athlete started to climb to sports prominence. A paralyzing injury, somewhat like the one that killed h l m. played a vital role in Johnson's development. As a high school athlete he was flattened by a back injury. Recovered, he said he could run even faster. Johnson became a hard-kicking back at Grambling (La.) College and excelled as a sprinter. He was one ol trie U.S. uiympic team that went to Rome in lflfiO. He worked out with the Chiefs last year while he was attending school and became a higniy-re-spected rookie this summer. One of the pre-scason exnini tion games the Chiefs played was a benefit in Seattle for paralyzed pole vaultcr Bryan Sternberg. The next game was Aug. 81, at Wichita, against the arch - rival Houston Oilers. Johnson threw a kickoff block and fell paralyzed. His fifth cer vital vertebrae was fractured and he could move only his head and neck. His mother, Mrs. Jesse John son of Dallas, rushed to his bed side w here she sat until his death. "He just laid I h e r c," Mrs. Johnson said, "That's all. His spirits were awful low all the time." DES MOINES, Iowa (UPI) -! They were chasing Labron Harris Jr., the mathematical genius with the geometrical putting t o u c h, once again today as 128 hopefuls walloped their way into the second round of the U.S. Amateur golf championships. Harris, the bespectacled de fending champion from Oklahoma State, romped into the second round with as much ease as ifi somebody asked him whether two and two made a par four when he dusted off Bill Cowardin, a VMI student from Newport News, Va., 8 and 6. And, two under par, he was the only man to conquer the hilly, narrow Wakonda Club course. A host of the favorites went with him, however, as he set himself up for a second round match against John McKey Jr., a 19-year-old University of Georg ia student who was the benefic iary of a first-round bye. They included former U.S. and British Amateur champion Deane Beman, two-time champion Char ley Coo, flamboyant Billy Joe Patton, former West Virginia leg islator Bill Campbell and 1962 British Amateur King Richard Davies. Some of the names dropped by the wayside included such as 1955 runnenip Billy Hyndman, the handsome Philadelphia stockbro ker; Dr. Ed Updegraff of Tucson Ariz., the 1963 British Amateur runnerup, and Bob Lunn, the 18- year-old public links champion out! of San Francisco. Beman, a husky 25-ycai-old from Bethcsda. Md., roared to 7 and 5 win over Dick Latimer of Vyashington. D. C. But he was only even par and now goes against Charley Polk of Clayton, Mo. Coe, the 39-year-old two - time nhamnion. won a battle of oil men. The thin man from Oklaho ma City scored, 3 and 1 against West Virginia oilman. W. P.

The bespectacled Patton, who once threw the Masters into a tizzy as he challenged all the pro fessional hotshots for that famed title, now playing in his 14th ama teur, knocked off Arthur Hud- nutt, and Elyria, Ohio, publisher, 3 and 2. His rival today will be Fred Franz of Crystal Lake, 111. Campbell, long time amateur in ternationalist, slammed out a ,i and 2 win over Dick Murphy, one of the identical twins from the University of Arkansas. His rival today is Marvin Giles, 20-ycar-old Virginia Amateur champ from Lynchburg. New York 6 Philadelphia 3 Milw. 9 Cinci. 2, 1st, twilight Milw. 7 Cinci.

Wednesday's Games Roston at Los Angeles, night New York at Kansas City, night Cleveland at Minnesota, night Baltimore at Chicago, night Detroit at Washington,, night it is almost exactly 13 years since the U.S. Army granted Pvt. Curt Simmons a special furlough designed to give tlie fireballing young left a cliance to pitch for j" the Phi ade D iia Phi ios n the World Series. Simmons never did pitch in the 1950 Series as the Phillies lost four straight to tlie New York Yankees, but he may get his chance this year as the Cardinals keep bilmg into tlie Los Angeles Dodgers' once-imposing National League lead. I he 34-year-old Simmons, en joying his best season since 1956, scored Ins second straight shut out and his 14th victory of the season Monday niglrt when he pitched the Cannals to a 6-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. It was the Cardinals' 12th triumph in tlie last 13 games and cut the idle Dodgers' first-place lead over them to three games The Dodgers have 19 games left to play and the Cardinals have 17 including a vital three-game set next Monday. With five shutouts and a 14-7 won-lost record, Simmons is a strong candidate for comeback of the year honors. His victory-total is his highest since he won 15 in 1956 and his shutout total is only one short of his personal high set in 1952, The Milwaukee Graves contin ued their late drive by whipping tlie Cincinnati Reds, 9-2 and 7-4, and the New York Mets defeated the Phillies, 6-3, in tlie only other NL games.
