Nebraska-Missouri Tilt Should Produce Crown
Comhuskers Big 8 Choice
By HIKE RATHET
Associated Prass Sports Writer
Jim (Catfish) Hunter has a 5-
4 record — and thatmsanshe’s
run out at toes on which to count
his major league decisions.
Hunter, a 19-year-old bonus
baby who still has 14 shotgun
pellets in his right foot from a
hunting accident that cost him
his big toe, posted the first shut-
out at his major league career
Wettoesday night as he pitched
Kansas City to a 5-0 victory
over Detroit.
It was the second straight im-
pressive performance for the
young right-hander who came
out of Hertford, N.C., last year
with a nickname he acquired
fishing, minus a toe he lost
hunting and with his pockets
filled with $75,000 of Charies
Finley’s bonus money.
Meanwhile, at the top of the
standings, the Minnesota Twins
increased their American
League lead to 7^ games by
edging the Yankees 5-4 while
Baltimore tripped the second-
place Chicago White Sox 2-1.
Elsewhere, Cleveland swept a
jiouhleheader from the Los An-
tes Angels 6-3 and 8-2 and
ston walloped Washington
8-3.
In the National League, the
New York Mjts defeated the
Renegar, Payne
Post CC Wins
Greg Renegar and Susan
Payne took victories as the local
junior golf tournament was com
pleted at Levelland Country
Club Wednesday.
Renegar was the winner of
the 14-15 year old title while
Warren Tabar Jr. was runner-
up and Larry Harder took the
consolation bracket.
In the girls division Miss
Payne was the winner with Sally
Shea as runner-up and Wanda
Kun'-sel the consolationist.
Los Angolas Dodgers, 7-5 Cin-
cinnati whipped Milwaukee 7-4,
Houston edged Philadelphia 7-6,
the Chicago Cube topped St.
Louis 6-3 and San Francisco and
Pittsburgh played to a 3-3 tie in
a game called by rein after nine
innings.
Hunter got the only run he
actually needed against die Ti-
gers when Bert Campanerls
tripled in the first inning and
scored on an infield out. Wayne
Causey and Ken Harr el son each
drove in two runs for die A’s
while John Blanchard accounted
for the other with a honvsr.
Yankee outfielder Mickey
Mantle opened the door for a
decisive three-run Twins’ rally
in the seventh inning when he
dropped Jerry Kindall’s drive to
left center to open the inning.
One out later, Zoilo Versalles
drew a walk. Rich Rollins then
cracked a 2-2 tie with a triple
and scored the final run on Earl
Battey’s double.
The Orioles broke a 1-1 tie in
the third inning, scoring an un-
earned run when Luis Aparicio
singled and raced all the way
around when Ken Berry fum-
bled Boog Powell’s single to
right center. Milt Pappas made
the run stand up, checking the
White Sox on four hits and
bringing his record to 11-6 with
his first victory in five weeks.
Fred Whitfield and Duke Sims
hammered homers as Steve
Hargan posted his first major
league victory for the Indians in
the opener. Whitfield also had
two other hits, plus a pair of
doubles and a single in the
nightcap for a 6-for-9 perform-
ance. Leon Wagner contributed
a homsr and single in the sec-
ond game as Ralph Terry won
his first in a month for an 11-4
record.
The Red Sox unloaded five
homers to the Senators’ three.
Carl Yastrzemski, Tony Conig-
liaro, Rico Petrocelli, Felix
Mantilla and Bob Tillman pound-
ed Boston homers while Ken Mc-
Mullen, Jim King and Frank
Howard cdhnected for Washing-

Tulsa Seeks Aerial Title
t
But Gncy Looks Strong
By JIM VAN VALKENBUR j
KANSAS CITY (AP)— Don’t
be surprised if Tulsa wins its
fourth straight national passing
title this fall but fails to unseat
Cincinnati as the Missouri Val-
ley football champion.
One way to arojse the ire of
Tulsa Coach Glenn Dibbs is to
-uggest, after Usten'ng to his
problems, that maybe Tulsa’s
pass protection wau*t be so
good.
“Oh, no,” he will say. “Ifwy
have anything, we’ll have pass
protection.”
Protecting the passer and the
pro-type air game is a way of
life at Tulsa. Dobbs frankly
hopes to win another national
passing crown despite the loss
of Jerry Rhome, who smashed
16 national passing marks in
1964.
He didn't predict a Missouri
Valley championship, although
it may come.
Chuck Studley’s Cincinnati
Bearcats are solid and deep, but
they may have a problem at
quarterback.
Wichita and Tulsa are m.ch
closer to the top two clubs, and
blose enough for ail upset.
Louisville will be better, with
the immediate aim nf moving
out of last place.
Tulsa has a problem or two. A
major worry for Dobbs is the
knee injury suffered by tail-
back Bob Daugherty. He could
miss the Sept. 11 opener with
Houston. Daugherty was No. 7
nationally in pass receiving in
1964.
Another problem is depth.
Four Mg junior college trans-
fers will help. The Interior line
is strong with tackle Willie
Townes, 270, and center John
Osmond, 236.
For his air game, Dobbs has
two fine passers In his son,
Glenn Dobbs m, and Billy A.n-
derso.n.
Studley expects the Clncy de-
fense to bo better and the of-
fense below 1964 when the Bear-
cats were the nation’s No. 3
team in rushing. Mike Flaherty,
Detroit transfer who broke his
leg last fall, and sophomore
ITony Jackson, an inconsistent
left-handed passer and good
runner, are the quarterbacks.

Rain Halts Giant March
As Reds Edge Into Race
Wichita’s George Karras,only
new head coach in the Valley, is
high on the rui-pass potential of
sophomore quarterback John
Eckman. He is higher on Jim
Waskiewicz, 227-pnund center-
linebacker.
Coach Odus M tchell expects
to have a “real potent offense”
at North Texas, with the help of
talented junior college trans-
fers. They include fullback Tony
Reese, halfback Jo*n Lo/e,
middle guard BirkleyHirkless,
and quarterback Vidal Carlin,
Louisville’s Fra.uk Camp has
linebacker Doug Buff one, one of
the best in the nation; quarter-
back Benny Russell and high
hopes for a strong group of
sophomores.
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos
Cardan, 10, was flying a kite on
a roof near his Brooklyn homo
Wednesday when he ran off the
rouf and fell six stories to his
death.
By HAL BOCK
Associated Press Sports Writer
It rained all over Herman
Franks’ parade but the shower
was nothing compared to the
bath Billy O’Dell has been tak-
ing.
Franks had his Giants march-
ing towards second place In the
hectic National League pennant
race Wednesday night, leadi%
5- 3 against Pittsburgh with one
out in the bottom of the 10th to-
ning.
The Forbes Field scoreboard
already had Los Angeles’ 7-5
loss at New York and Cincin-
nati’s 7-4 triumph over Milwau-
kee posted and the Giants were
set to move past the Braves into
second place, just one percent-
age point back of the front-run-
ning Dodgers.
But Mother Nature, who ap-
parently isn’t a Giant fan, had
other plans, the Heavens opened
up and time was called. The
umpires, recognizing the im-
portance of the game in the pen-
nant picture, waited for the
storm to let up.
They waited for an hour and
46 minutes before finally calling
the game. Because the Pirates
had been unable to complete
their final turn at bat, the score
reverted to the last complete
inning and instead of a 5-3 victo-
ry, San Francisco had a 3-3 tie.
That left the Giants in third
place, a full game back of Los
Angeles, which dropped its sec-
ond straight to the MHs, and
one half game behind the
Braves, whose ace reliever,O’-
Dell, was struck with ninth to-
ning thunder by Cincinnati for
the second straight night. The
fourth place Reds, meanwhile,
closed within 1 */j games of the
lead. Only 10 percentage points
separate the first four team.-:.
O’Dell, who was beaten by
Tom ny Harper’s two-out, two-
run homer in the ninth Tuesday
night, came on in relief of Dan
Osinski as Milwaukee Manager
Bobby Bragan tried to counter
Cincinnati skipper Dick Sisler’s
righty-lefty strategy.
With the score tied 4-4, two on
and two out jn the ninth, Sisler
sent up Gordy Coleman, a left-
handed hitter, against right)
Osinki. Bragan countered with
O’dell, a southpaw, but Sisler
came right back with rookie
Tony Perez, a right-handed
swinger.
Perez, who sat oct the Tues-
day game with a bad leg,
smacked a three-run homer and
limped around the bases while
Bragan brooded.
The Dodgers dropped their
second straight to the Mets as
Joe Christopher whacked three
hits, including a two-run homer,
and Gordon Richardson pitched
6 2-3 innings of airtight relief.
Houston edged Philadelphia 7-
6 and Chicago topped St. Louis
6- 3 in other National League
games. In the American
League, Mnnesota edged New
York 5-4, Kansas City blanked
Detroit 5-0, Boston whacked
Washington 8-3, Chicago nipped
Baltimore 2-1 and Cleveland
swept Los Angeles 6-3 and 8-2.
Joe Gaines’ pinch double de-
livered the tying run and Lee
Maye’s sacrifice fly brought
home the winner as Houston

Quarterbacks
Chart Plans
A vigorojs membership drive
has been slated by toe Level-
land Quarterback Chib accord-
ing to plans announced by Gene
Stanley, chairman of the cam
paign.
A meeting between Stanley,
Club President George Seagler
and Secretary-Treasurer Wil-
bur Cleveland lauached the 1965
mombership drive plans.
“An effort wfll be put for-
ward to secure the largest total
number of members in toe hls-
of the local club,” Stanley
said.
Membership in toe past has
exceeded 300 but Stanley hopes
to pass the 400 mark tola sea-
son.
As part to toe initial effort
President Seagler plans to mail
personal letters to local busi-
ness and professional people
asking them to support toe club
and urging them to use their
influence in order to secure
interest and membership from
among their associates and em-
ployees.
Also, every player’s parent
will receive a letter from Saa-
gler telling them that they are
both needed and wanted in toe
focal Quarterback organization.
Ten membership drive team
captains will be named to head
up the effort which will be laun-
ched foll-scale on September
6. Stanley hopes to wind up the
drive before toe opening game

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Bob Devaney, who coached Ne-
braska to its first football cham-
pionships since the days of Biff
Jones and Dana Bible, has what
he needs for a third straight Big
Eight crown this fall.
The Huskers are loaded with
talent, depth, experience and
tradition.
But Devaney, the affable Ir-
ishman, la worried about the
role of favorite — with good
reason. The favorite hasn’t won
in toe Big Eight since 1959, the
final year of Bud Wilkinson’s 13-
year title reign at Oklahoma.
The Huskers were supposed to
be rebuilding when they won it
last year. In 1963, Wilkinson’s
defending champions were fa-
vored but Devaney’s club gave
Nebraska its first crown since
1940.
Devaney’s biggest worry is a
strong Missouri squad which
many observers believe was toe
league’s best at toe close of
1964. The Nebraska - Missouri
game Oct. 30 at Columbia, Md.,
should decide it,
Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas
and Oklahoma State all are giv-
en a shot at third place, with
Kansas State and Iowa State
only a whisker behind.
Another element of doubt for
Devaney is that his club didn't
overpower the league last year.
The Huskers lost to Oklahoma
and won cliff-hangers from Mis-
souri and Kansas.
Nine of toe Big Eight’s top 10
passers at 1964 are returning
and Nebraska has two of them
— champion Bob Chur chi ch and
No. 10 Fred Dude, who broke
his leg early in toe season.
Nebraska’s defensive unit was
No. 2 nationally last year and
nine of toe first 11 are back.
Tony Jeter and Freeman White
could be toe nation’s best end
combination.
At Missouri, Coach Dan De-
vine concedes his backfield is
his best since the 1960 champi-
onship team. Quarterback Gary
Lane is a two-time league total
offense champion. Charlie
Brown was so good at halfback
that Johnny Roland, Big Eight
scoring champ as a sophonnre,
played mostly defense. Monroe
Phelps, hurt in mld-163, is
ready to go again.
“We’re potentially as good or
better than last year,” Devine
adm'ts. Devine’s depth is some-
* what Ihbrt of Nebraska’s but he
has a strong line led by tackles
Butch Allison and Bruce Van
Dyke. End Russell Washington,
5-foot-6 and 265, probably is toe
league’s best sophomore.
Gomer Jones will depend
heavily on sophomores in his
second year at Oklahoma. The
defense is built around lineback-
er Carl McAdanu, one of toe
nation’s best. Oklahoma’s back-
field will be faster. If toe green
