(AP)-Like a rich banker, Coach Pete Elliott of Big Ten football cham-1 Elliott, pion Illinois savors his smsoii''! assets but worries over the' seasons menace of "intangibles," Twenty-two lettermen. including All-America linebacker Dick Butkus, Rose Bowl star fullback Jim Grabowski and 262- pound tackle Archie Sutton, are back from the Fighting lUinI Who scalped an 8-1-1 record from a stunning 1963 season. "It would be nuts to say wc feel we shouldn't have a fine football team," said EUiott, who only three seasons ago almost Walked the coaching plank with the first winless season (0-9 in 1961) in Illini history. "But there are always the intangibles.

I say wc must get materially better to match our high rating. Last we were tied ('20-20t by Ohio State and lost: to Michigan (14-8). Now, both Ohio State and Michigan arc substantially improved. So wo need to impi-ovc, too. many and to into the intangible category.

"And then there is supposition that a picdominantly senior squad, liavhig won the title and being ineligible to retura to tlic Rose Bowl, will lose its competitive edge." Elliott, however, seems confident his players will go full steam despite loss of Rose Bowl incentive. He has 15 seniors on his first two teams. "Thus far, we are in equal shape to last season and we sure have worked harder," said Elliott. "There has been no letdown by anybody. "I cannot excuse a team or any player using it as a crutch for not playing the best possible football because a Rose Bowl trip is out." What augurs well for Illinois, whose softest spot is at defensive halfbacks, is that 243-pound Butkus appears as enthusiastic as ever.

Senior Butkus, who shares co-captaincy with safety specialist George Donnelly, looms No. 1 draft choice by the pros this winter and is anxious to enter the play-for-pay ranks. Although ends Bill Pasko and Mike Summers, quartcrbadc Mike Taliaferro and placekick- ing specialist Jim Kanpenhom are gone, fJie most stinging losses were defensive backs Jim Wan-en, Mike Dundy and Ron Fearn. "This is our major at defensive halfbacks," said Elliott. "The quickest way to get beat is by the easy touciidown over an inexperienced secondary." Veteran Dick Keo and two sophonorcs.

Si Waters and Phil KneU (6-01. are the top defensive halfback candi-i dates. I "Tiiese men have to come i througli. or we're in trouble," I said Elliott, obviously is shared quarterbacking last year witlj Taliaferro. "Custardo is a good passer, adequate runner and directs the club well," said third siring quarterback.

Junior Ron Acks, will function in a dual role. A good runner, Acks is No. 1 right halfback but will be Custardo's replacement at quarterback. Based on his "most-valuable" performance In flic Illinois 17-7 Rose Bowl victory over Washington, junior fullback Gralww- ski could be one of the nation's best. At left half, another fine 1963 sophomore, Sam Prioe, also is headed for a "real good in Elliott's opinion.

Elliott has two lettermen at each of the 11 positions but plans to "sort of sneak into' two platoon" play under the new liberal substitution rule. "We'll have only four defensive line- back 'Don Hanse and the two defensive halfbacks," he said. "We're preparing our first team mainly to play both ways, but as the season progresses wc may switch more and more until we can swap whole units." Next: Wisconsin FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE High Games: C.

Probably it was a good thing for the trees that he was dodging! The tree-dodging routine was part of the conditioning program carried out by Butkus even while touring northern Illinois on a promotional trip for U.

of I. football. "I believe that if I can't actually be playing football," the big Illini co-captain says, "the next best thing is to work out in a way as much like game conditions as possible. Most of a linebacker's movements are in dodging blockers and moving sideways and backwards, and that's what I have been working at." Butkus' routine which frequently came at 6:30 a.m. or 8 p.m.

while on the trip is to begin his workout by running longer distances, then go to the tree-dodging, sideways and backward running. He used lead weights strapped to his shoes to develop his leg muscles. Eai'lier this summer, Butkus worked on road construction. The 6-3 Chicago senior reported to Coach Pete Elliott at a well conditioned 245 pounds for the beginning of fall practice. Size runs in the Butkus family.

Dick's four brothers and father all stand over 6-0 and weigh well over 200 pounds.

Vernon BOSTON (AP) Heavyweight champion Cassius Clay, pardon, Muhammad Ali, was strangely subdued.

Challenger Sonny Liston actually smiled. Gov. Endicott Peabody announced they'd meet in a Nov. 16 title fight at Boston Gaiden to tlie surprise no one. The World Boxing Association quickly replied that everyone in the room was quarantined, as it were, by a sweeping suspension.

Qay's title was lifted. Clay, deep in thoughts of the Black Muslims and a 30 per cent slice ol a predicted million purse, looked as concerned as an elephant bitten by a gnat. "Who are the WBA, they oughta be investigated," Liston said in scorn. The WBA had threatened in advance to refuse to recognize a rematch. The Massachusetts Boxing Commission, which has bounced in and out of that fistic forum faster than a man on a trampoline, as has Michigan, said it felt the safeguards it had undertaken would satisfy the WBA.

"This isn't really a return bout," said commissioner Ed Urbec. "We've arranged a fight between the champion and the top contender. ''We shouldn't have been allowed to vote in the last WBA meeting anyway. We didn't pay our dues last year or this year because of our financial condition. "I can't visualize the public not accepting Clay as the champion.

Titles are won or lost in the ring. This is the fight the public wants." Gov. Peabody wasn't too concerned, either. "I look forward to a great fight," said the chief executive who did not win his party's renomination in the state primai7. The State Commission, in its statement, outlined stipulations for the 15-round bout.

CHiief among them is that the winner must post a $50,000 cash guarantee he'll meet one of the top lour rated contenders as listed by the WBA within six months after the fight. The next step the WBA is i i expected to take, having now i dci'lared "no recognition" of the fight and "no champion" is to set up a tournament to settle the title. Merv newly elected president of the Woild Boxing Association, said fi-oni Toronto the mass suspensions became automatic when the fight was signed. By JIM BECKER By HAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer It's been a fun year for Ken Rowe, the workingest pitcher in baseball, and because of him, the Baltimore Orioles are liable to laugh themselves right into the American League pennant. Baltimore, shopping around for late-season help in their pennant push, picked up relief pitcher Rowe from tlie Los Angeles Dodgers' Spokane farm club in the Pacific Coast League last week.

He pitched his first inning in relief for the Orioles Monday night and came up a winner when Baltimore pushed across a run in the bottom of the ninth to edge Minnesota 4-3. Rowe, who seems to thrive on work, set an organized baseball record for appearances, coming in 88 times, bcfoie being purchased by the Orioles. The big 30-year-old hander enjoyed all the assignments. "It's been a fun year and I've really been lucky," he said. "I consider it, a challenge a personal ciiallcnge each time I'm called in from tlie bullpen." Monday night llie Twins challenged Rowe and came out second best.

Sliut out for six innings by Oriole starter Milt Pappas, Minnesota surged back on lionio runs by Don Minchcr and Jimmie Hall for a 3-2 lead. AsMiciatcd Press Sports Writer' a hitter in the CLEVELAND (AP) "I didn't get this nervous in the Rose Bowl, said Paiidel Savic, the old Ohio State quarterback, as he teed up his ball in the National Amateur Golf Qiam- pionship. The results bore him out. The husky glove salesman from Columbus, Ohio, staggered in with a 78 Monday, far back in the pack. When he was doing the passing for football-happy Ohio State he brought home a Big Ten championship in 1949 and a Rose Bowl victory.

Tlie low score at the halhvay mark of the 36-hole qualifying test was 71, set by Bob Greenwood, 25, of Cookeville, Dr. Edgar Updegraff, 42, from Tucson, Ed Tutwiler, 45, of Indianapolis, and Charlie Smith. 33. of Gastonia, N.C. Five others were at 72, including Downing Gray of Pensacola, the 1962 runner-up, and Bill Campbell of Huntington, W.

former Walker Cup captain. The colorful Billy Joe Fatten of Morganton, N.C, finished with three straight bogies for 73. Defender Deane Beman had 74. Chris Short Wins llth Phils Clip Houston, Lead Cards By 6V2 While tlie Philadelphia Phillies virtually are running away with the National League pennant, they are enjoying an intramural game of follow the leader. Their latest game came Monday night as they defeated Houston 4-1 and increased their lead to games over the second-place St.

iMXis Cards, whose game at Milwaukee was rained out. Oiris Short posted his 17th victory against seven defeats with a four-hitter while Johnny Callison rapped three hits, drove in two and scored two. One part of the Phillies' game features Short and fellow pitcher Jim Bunning while another includes Callison and rookie Richie Allen. 17th triumph came just one day after Bunning lecoixled his 17th victory. The aces of Piiiladclphia's pitching staff have followed that pattern recently.

Bunning won his 14th game Aug. 23, and Short followed suit three days later. Their 15th victories came Sept. .1 and 2, respectively, while tlie 16th plciteau was reached Sept. 5 and 10.

Although Short, who will be 27 Satuixlay, has lost three more games than Bunning. his earned run average is lower 1.8a to 2.23. In fact, only Sandy Koufax has a better ERA in the league, 1.74, and he's finished for the season. Incidentally, if Short and Bunning each win 20 games, it will mark the first time since 1916 that the Phillies have had two winners in that catetocy. Grover Cleveland Alexander won 33 games and Eppa Rixey won 22 for the Mcond-plaoi Phillies that year.

But back to follow the leader. Allen and Callison have Joined the fun the past two gamei. Allen, the second batter in the line-up Monday night, singled in the first inning before batting tliird, lofted his TlOt homer, a season high for iiim. The day before, Callison, third in the line-up, belted a tun- scoring single in the 10th inning before Allen, hitting fourth, slammed his 26th homer. Callison's hit snapped a 1-1 tie, and Allen's blow clinched the ry.

Besides his home tun Monday, Callison singled in the third and doubled and scored in the fifth. Short lost his shutout bid in eighth inning when Lillis doubled and came around on two infield outs. In the only other NL game. Piits-burijh whipped Los 7-2 as Bob Vealc fired a five- hitter for his 17th victory against 10 loses. Dick Schofield drove in four of the Pirates' runs.

His three-run double in the fourth broke a 2-2 deadlock. eiglith and Rowe came on to hurl the ninlli, his S9th game of the year and first one in the AL- The veteran pitcher got the Twins 1-2-3 and won it when Luis Aparicio's sacrifice fly delivered the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. In the only other American League game scheduled, Kansas City edged Boston 7-6. The Orioles' lead over second place New York stretched to games. Third place Chicago is two games back.

Brooks Robinson and Sam Bowens hoinored lor Balthnore. Ninth inning back-to-back triples by Dick Green and Bill Bryan tied the game and a ground rule double by Ed Charles won it as Kansas City came fi-om behind against Boston.

The Cardinals were rained out in Milwaukee and, as a result, fell farther behind league-leading Philadelphia. The Phillies defeated Houston, 4-1, and increased their lead over second- place St. Louis to eVa games. The Cardinals' game was rescheduled for tonight as part of a twi-night doubleheader.
