site of Sunday's 8 p. m. contest. Headrick's Prize Twins Tovar To Do It All MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL upi Cesar Tovar, the Minneapolis Twins' handyman, will play all nine positions in the Twins' 1968 baseball home finale today in Metropolitan Stadium.

Only one other major league player ever played all nine positions in the course of a season. He was William R. Walsh of the Philadelphia Phillies, who did it in 1911. Tovar will pitch the first inning, then move to first base and counter-clockwise around the infield until catching the sixth inning. Then he'll play each of the three outfield positions in the three final frames.

It's really not all that unique for Tovar except the pitching and catching, perhaps. He played six positions for the Twins during the 1967 season and has played five positions this season. Cincinnati Bengal linebacker Sherlll Headrick tries out the "Sports Yak" he won as most valuable defense player In the Bengals' American Football League opener against San Diego. Bob Hart, with the oar, producer of the Ohio Valley Downtown Sports Boat Show gives a weekly award to a Bengal player at the Bengals Touchdown Club luncheon at the Cincinnati Club. Plenty of choice seats remain for this pre-Olympic game.

There will be two familiar faces on the Olympians' bench next Sunday: coach Hank Iba of Oklahoma State fame and his assistant, Hank Vaughn of the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots. The two had similiar roles with the 1964 Olympic cagers. Otherwise, there are no repeat players from that team nor any before them. Iba and Vaughn watched Bobcats Clip Marshall, 48-8 By JOHN CHACE Associated Press Writer John Wiethe has devised a game "jog golf" to keep himself physically fit now that he actively participates in politics and law more than sports. Not that the 55-year-old athlete turned lawyer and politician is get-t i flabby, but he wants to maintain his stamina now enabling him to canvass everyday for the Democratic party.

"I play 'jog golf to keep myself in shape," said Wiethe, Hamilton County Democratic co-chairman who explained that he runs from shot-to-shot and hole-to-hole while wearing a sweat suit and carrying only one club, usually a two-Iron.

Hartlaub To Stay On ATHENS, Ohio UP) Rugged Ohio University scored the first two times it had the ball and rolled to a convincing 48-8 Mid-American Conference football triumph over undermanned Marshall. Tailback Bob Houmard, filling in for injured Dick Conley, scored three touchdowns and reserve quarterback Steve Skiver added two markers. It was an impressive inaugural for Coach Bill Hess Bobcats, favored to cop the MAC title and earn a trip to the Tangerine Bowl.

Quarterback Cleve Bryant, who completed 9 of 18 passes for 109 yards, hit Houmard with a nine-yard strike for the first score midway through the opening quarter. Five minutes later Houmard bolted over from the three for a 14-0 quarter lead. Skiver scored on a three-yard run in the second period before Houmard scooted nine yards for a 28-0 halftime bulge. The potent Bobcats' defense so contained the Marshall attack that the Thundering Herd picked up only one first down in the first half. The alert defense intercepted four aerials and recovered one fumble.

Two of the interceptions set up touchdowns. nati Bengals in 1938 and the Detroit Lions from 1939-43. He also umpired in the American Association and coached both football p.nd basketball teams at the University of Cincinnati before taking up law full time and becoming county chairman in 1954. Regarding his method of playing golf, Wiethe commented, "it takes me about 80 minutes and I run 4V2 to 5 miles each time I go out." "A lot of people think I'm goofy, but I tell them I am just trying to simplify the game, to relieve the monotony of I a ed Wiethe who goes out to Kenwood Country Club here about four times a week for a "jog golf" outing. Wiethe said he made two birdies in one round on the course not too long ago.

He also said he plays in the winter and uses a yellow ball with a red stripe for when it snows, although Paul Hartlaub pany will pay all the expenses," Paul remembers telling the original eight. One countered, "how about you coaching the team?" and Paul admitted he knew little about the sport. One of the original eight was William (Bill) Glueck, now in the building cleaning business here, whose son, Tommy, swam for Hartlaub at the University of Cincinnati. When the company realized 10 years later that Hartlaub was not only coaching the team, but also driving a full route, he was promoted to public relations work. Between his TR work for Coke which includes speeches and physical fitness clinics at schools and the swim team, Hartlaub figures he puts in a 70 to 70-hour week.

Crewcut Paul is understandably proud of his coaching. In 27 years, 55 boys have gone to college on full or partial swim scholarships. During his six years as UC's swim coach, he averaged five All-Ameri-cans a year after the first 12 months. Three men stand out in Paul's mind as his best all-around swimmers.

"I really get a sweat up and I am putting better with my two-iron than I would normally with my putter." Regarding politics, Wiethe said, "Thrill for thrill, the game of politics must take a back seat to football." But just as In sports you learn the value of competition, he added. Wiethe, who battled Paul Brown here for the right to operate the new Cincinnati Bengals of the American Football League, said "jog golf" keeps him in great shape for canvassing and he has been recruiting voters since July. "I delight in going up floors," Wiethe said concerning apartment buildings. "Very few go up four floors canvassing and the people in the building think I'm from Mars.

Nobody goes up that high! Helsinki as a member of the U. S. team. Paul met him in 1950 at Seattle. Walnut Hills High School graduates Dick Thoman and Don Hill are the other two.

Thoman, now 38, began swimming for Paul at nine. At one time, he was the world record-holder in the backstroke. Hill became the NCAA sprint champ while at the University of Michigan. Hartlaub learned his swim secrets from books, top college coaches and by watching the nation's biggest meets. He admits he isn't a great swimmer.

"I swam one race, 10 miles down the Ohio on a bet and out of 25 entries, I finished 21st!" he recalled. "I was 38 at the time, we started out at Coney Island and I refused to quit, as tired as I was, because I knew my family was waiting for me at the finish." Lady Helmsman Retains Sail Cup THORPE BAY, England cp Reg White and John Osborne retained the Little America's Cup in Lady Helmsman by winning the sixth catamaran race Saturday against the United States challenger Yankee Flyer. The British crew won 4-2, in the best of 7 races. Strong winds delayed the start of the decisive race and conditions were far from favorable for Yankee Flyer, crewed by Greer Ellis and Bill Hooten of Dan-bury, Conn. Lady Helmsman finished 13 minutes, 56 seconds ahead of her American challenger.

Through relatives and friends, we get our replacements." For Hartlaub, it has been an illustrious, memorable 27 years with the Coke swimmers.
