071 Coaches Optimistic
Of Chances This Season
Oregon Tech gridiron hopes
mushroomed Sunday as the Owl
grid staff greeted 50 football
prospects. 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. The public is invit
ed to see who and what the Owls
are this season at that time.

'Firehouse Four Gives
Oregon Promise For 1963
Editor's Note: This is the first
in n scries of dispatches deal

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

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

Wilson said the Lions were in
the best condition since tlie train

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.

a real take-charge guy as
sophomore last year, has Doug

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. Cas
tleman. but he was five over par
in ipulling it out and now meets
Dan James of Millbrae, Calif.
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.

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,
