Rams Tough, But Stealers Are Too Bach By PAT LIVINGSTON The Los Angeles Rams may be the odds-maker's choice over the Steelers in their game at Forbes Field tomorrow, but that doesn't bother optimist Joe Bach a bit. In Bach's book, the Steelers won't be underdogs all year-injuries or not. "I'm not going to say the Rams are favored," the Steel-er coach declared. "The Steelers are the favorites in my book. Sure, the Rams have a good team, a rough team, but we're not giving away to anybody this year." Bach acknowledge that his rookie-spotted defensive platoon will have its hands full with the Rams' versatile at tack, but he pointed out that the Steelers have a pretty fair offpnse of their own.

"I think we can score," he said. "It took quite a while, but our running game is starting to jell now. "Last year, we had to spend all our time in exhibition games working Lynn Chand-nois, Franny Rogel and Ray Mathews into the T-formation. This year we ere more fortunate. Those fellows knew it, and we got a chance to work with a few other boys.

"It goes without saying that I've been more than pleased with the way they came through. Tom Calvin. Popcorn (Brandt), and Jack Spinks all came through. And Leo Elter showed me something too." Bach said that he was chiefly worried about the Rams' passing game. But he added that he thought Los Angeles had the most difficult running game in the league to defend against.

'They hit you from every angle," he said. "If you start rushing the passer too much, those halfbacks will run re- verses and double reverses at you. or sweep your ends. If you pay too much attention to the wide plays, you're giving (Norm) Van Brock 11 too much time to spot his receivers." Optimism is quickly becoming a Bach characteristic, possibly in self defense. So many breaks have gone against the Steeler coach this year that he'd spend all his time with the crying towel if he were Inclined to pessimism.

A rash of injuries during "training camp hampered the team considerably and on top of that Ted Marchibroda, a genuine prospect as understudy to Jimmy Finks, received his draft call last week. "If you start worrying about those things," Bach pointed out, "you don't leave yourself much time lor coaching the team." Bach didn't, but he could have added that the Steelers were handed a few bad breaks before the team even got to training camp. End Bob O'Neil of Notre Dame and Tackle George Porter of West Texas were both injured in auto accidents shortly before the Steelers camp opened. Both were regarded as sure-fire prospects with the pros. But breaks or not, Bach will show up at Forbes Field tomorrow.

And he'll bring his football team with him.

LmrJ engage the Giants In a double-header today and a single game tomorrow, the big news centers around Danny O'Connell. The scrappy Bucco third baseman, who tied the all-time Pittsburgh record for hitting In 25 consecutive games at Milwaukee Wednesday, now has his sights set on the current National great champion from Cuba. "What good is the welterweight title if I'm so weak from making weight I don't feel good defending it?" Gavilan's statements made it uncertain whether he would carry out his pledge to the New York State Athletic Commission and defend against Johnny Bratton of Chicago within 60 days.

Too expensive.

Incidentally, three of the former Pirates with the Cubs are hitting like this: Kiner .285, Joe Garagiola .283, and Clyde McCullough .280. Dept. of Hmmm: Eleven members of the Illinois football team are married, six taking the step this summer. Rex Smith, who was chairman of the Gerry Coleman Day festivities at Yankee Stadium, had this to say of the Marine pilot: "He is the most unassuming fellow think I ever met. I don't know anybody in sports who better fits the term gentleman than Gerry Coleman." Rogers Hornsby still will be drawing a baseball salary next year.

The Browns are paying him half of his original contract to round out his three-year agreement In 195-1. Baseball is a funny game at that. The Giants were picked to win the pennant. They'll finish a bad fifth and Leo Durocher was rewarded with a two-year contract. The Reds were picked sixth or seventh, they still have a chance for fifth, and Hornsby Is fired.

Fred Haney can name his own ticket if he wants to return here. He should be rewarded because he never let the showing of the Pirates get him down, physically or mentally. Recommended: The Steeler-Ram football game at Forbes Field tomorrow. Off tonight for the final shot at the Giants and Dodgers. and his willingness to back-pedal away from the sharp-featured, brown-haired ex-Marine angered the crowd.

The champion was roundly booed in the fifth, 13th and 14th rounds. Nevertheless, Gavilan landed enough jabs, bolo right upper-cuts and left hooks to the head to win the votes of two officials. Both were from New York City. Referee George Walsh favored the champ in rounds, 8-6-1; Judge Harold Barnes had him ahead, 7-6-2. But Judge Jack Kimball of Syracuse favored Basilio, 7-5-3.

The United Press sheet had Gavilan ahead 8-6-1. In the second round, it seemed Gavilan might suffer the first knockout In his career of 112 And Hodges himself laughed off speculation that he might miss the big series when he insisted he "could play today if necessary." Fight Victim Furillo suffered a broken metacarpal bono in his left hand during his celebrated "no-punch" fight with Leo Durocher of the New York Giants two weeks ago while Hodges suffered a bruised left side when he crashed into the right field wall at County Stadium, Milwaukee, a week ago.
