WITH THE DALLAS TEXANS set to open football drills
on Central Expressway (it’s good training to dodge the cars)
perhaps now is a good time to get the personal background
stuff out of the way to avoid boring everyone with it through-
out the season. And there’s always the chance that three of the
more highly touted rookies in the American Football League
with whom I’ve worked the past thrqe years might not make it
—and I’d hate to lose a chance1 to use the information.
First up, there’s Curtis MfClinton of the Texans. The Dallas
officials have been booming him as probably the best running
back produced by the college ranks last year. That could be true.
But I hope the Texans don’t become so engrossed in trying to
work him into the offensive backfield that they overlook the
possibility of utilizing his best trait.
That trait is defense. The big Negro undoubtably could
have been the greatest defensive back ever produced at Kansas.
He’s indestructable. He takes it as a personal affront if an
opponent gains a,yard. But he didn’t get to show that ability
enough last year to interest a coach in a school with ten boys.

Phil Rodgers had a 70 to-

Less certain of qualifying for
tomorrow’s play are US Open
champion Jack Nicklaus and
four other Americans.
Nicklaus rallied with a par

had an 80 yesterday, his 152

Try a Want Ad for Results
BY CHARLES MOREY
Los Angeles, July 12 UP)
Seriously now, did you ever
think you’d live to see the day
when there’d be a crucial series
between the New York Yankees
and the Los Angeles Angels?
Well, take a look. The Yanks
are irh Los Angeles tonight for
the opener of a three-game set
with the Angels and it could be
the occasion for the Angels be-
coming formal contenders for
the pennant.
Mathematically, they are
that now\ They are a mere two
and one-half games back of the
league - leading Yankees with
Cleveland squeezed in between
the two in second place.
A sweep for the Angels
would stagger the baseball
world and make the Los Ange-
les club a serious threat. And
don’t rule it out After all, if
we’ve reached the point where
we can shoot an electronic kite
into the sky that bounced tele-
vision signals from one side of
the ocean to the other, why
can't the Angels siweep the
Yankees.
Even though the rest of the
league isn’t taking the Angels
seriously, the Los Angeles play-
ers themselves are. At times
they even think they’re the
Dodgers.
They’re fifth in the league in
hitting and ninth in fielding
and they lead the league in hav-
ing fun.
By now manager Bill Rigney,
whov has discovered that a
sence of humor helps in a lot of
situations, may have convinc-
ed his men they are a team of
destiny.
It’s true that the Yankees
have the heavier artillery "but
inspired men have charged the
guns before and carried the
day. Rigney may mention that
KANSAS HEAD MAN JACK Mitchell, the old Oklahoma
All-American, was thinner in the backfield than the shadow
soon to be cast by Billie Sol Estes’ billfold. McClinton had been
an end in high school at Wichita, but you just don’t pass up
native talent like that when hurting for Stacks.
And since Mitchell couldn’t afford to have his ball carriers
hurt unnecessarily, he wouldn’t let big Curtis play on defense. In
his early days this hull Curtis to the core. Mitchell practically
j had to drape himself around Cult’s shoulders to keep the big
! fellow from running in on defense.
Because he didn’t have much defensive training, McClin-
ton has been known to make mistakes on defense, particularly
of the kind of committing himself too early. But since Curtis
.usually got to play one down on defense each time the ball
changed hands (Mitchell was more concerned with quarterback
John Hadl, now with San Diego) his defensive play was tan-
talizing enough to make one want to see more.
* * * *
THIS IS NOT TO take anything away from McClinton as
a running back, but he had his problems. The worst was
that he just never saw any. reason in trying to dodge a defend-
er. Mitchell worked with him for three years and I imagine he
finally had Curtis at least thinking about side stepping by the
time the Bluebonnet Bowl rolled around last December. But
that’s about all he did—think about it.
Thus, while McClinton was almost a thing of beauty to
watch running—arms flaying, knees lifting as high as his chin
and opponents bouncing of like rubber balls—there was always
the idea that he could have been greater. And he won’t be
able to drive through the pros as easily.
McClinton also lacks a sense of balance when hit just at
the ankles. Once through the line he's mighty tough. But he
could be stopped in the line by that unseen hand or leg stretch-
ed out in the way.
* * *
IT’S MUCH MORE FUN to watch Curtis McClinton or
offense because of his bone-crushing style and because thf
watchers’ specialty is always offense. But the Texans of Hank
Stram have had a weakness in the secondary defense.
It is the hope here that Stram and his aides do not put so
much stress on McClinton’s offensive talents that they might
overlook his defensive ability in the event he can’t oust the
often-injured Jack Spikes at fullback.
(Next, I’ll solve the problems of the San Diego Chargers,
the chief competition for .the Texans in the AFL’s Western
Division).

El Paso, Tulsa Slug It Out
By Associated Press
For four straight nights now
there has been a change in the
Texas League lead.
To make it more unique, the
leading clubs — El Paso and
Tulsa — have excranged places
five out of the the last six
nights.
It’s wearing on the Sun
Kings and the Oilers. If the
others in the league stopped to
analyze it they might figure
they’re better off staying back
in the field. Let El Paso and
Tulsa wear tffemsedves out and
somebody else take over down
the stretch.
Anyway, El Paso won
Wednesday night, 4-8, to make
it 2-1 in the crucial series.

Kings didn’t need anything else,
It put El Paso back in first

Austin and San Antonio each
missed a chance to go into third

Austin couldn’t cash in on the

NOT TOO BIGHEARTpD—
s to Halt Raidin
Of High School Athlete!
A

A JkVIAVdVILllV
It has been going on for some time, and
also has involved the taking of freshmen,
boys who already had played at the colleges
and on whom considerable money had been
spent. Some Southwest Conference schools
have run into this situation.
Nothing in the new rule of the academies
was said about such transfers and presum-
ably the service academies will continue to
pluck the freshmen stars if they wmnt to.
A gimmick was put into the academics’
big-hearted move. It was decided that a boy
would be given an agreement to sign where-
by he would have4 the privilege of going to
Army, Navy or Air Force if he didn’t want
to exercise his letter of intent with the col-
lege. in other words, he would be signing a
provisional letter of intent.
This may cause the academies to step up
their recruiting. It isn’t out of the question
to expect them to contact all the top school-
boy athletes and give them this agreement to
sign before they have had a chance at a let-
ter of intent. It can be done quite easily
in the Southwest Conference since there is
a definite date for the schools to begin sign-
ing the athletes.
The new plan says that the academies
will not take a boy who already has inked a
letter of intent. In other words, if the boy
signs with a college before he is contacted
by the Army, Navy or Air Force, then lie
will not be touched by the academies.
But should the academies contact the boy
before the colleges it will be just as bad as
the situation was when Army, Navy and Air
didnl
snares top Texas schoolboy players.
However, the academies’ move may he
bring about a universal letter of intent. D
J. William Davis of Texas Tech, who now
attempting to bring the major conferene
together for a letter of intent and appea
to be making rapid progress, said the
tion of the academies, which belong to
conferences, was one drawback. He
know what could be done to get the serv
schools into the package. They now have
least partially answered this for him. If
are going to recognize letters of intent
they are, in effect, iiqed up with the Da
plan.
A universal letter of intent ^pesn’t lac!
much of endorsement by the N0AA. The
convention showed only about 35 votes
of passage. These votes, of course, were la
ly “among the small colleges which don’t
the top athletes and don’t worry about aom
body stealing their letters of intent boy
Some of the small colleges don’t even
athletic scholarships.
Thus, if all the major colleges came
on a universal letter of intent the proble
would be virtually .solved without the sma
college help.
Dr. Davis' plan is not an official NCA
move. It is a matter of agreement among to
major conferences. The small colleges and tib
Ivy League, which won’t ever go for a letter o:
intent because it claims it smacks of pxo
fessionalism, can do nothing about it.
However, there should be no loophole Ilk
the provisional letter of intent that's avail
able to the service academies.
AWAY IT GOES — Dalby DeBord, catcher'for the Sulphur Springs Eagles, sends 4
pitch away for a double. The hit batted in Avon Morgan and Mike Broyles as the Eaglgg
won from the American Legion squad from Longview, 7-4, here Wednesday night.
