We will be big up front. Our first game against Central Regional could make or break the season. We are pointing for this game and I know that Joe Boyd, whom I consider a great coach, thinks the same way. Central Regional will be out for revenge for the surprise beating we gave them last year. "It'is going to be a tough season.

I respect both Lakewood and Central Regional and possibly Wall. I do not hold any of our nine foes lightly. They will all be tough." Houlihan and Leibfried will handle the passing. Both have looked good. Monahan, a triple threat back, will again do the punting.

The Panthers will run out of the winged formation. Anderson, a center, and Shaffer, a combination center and guard, will probably earn two of the three starting jobs in the middle of the line. Conroy played end last year but has been converted to guard. A trio of lettermen is vying for the two open backfield jobs Larry Thompson, who started on the defense last year; Carl Wilson, who will definitely start as end on the defense, and Dave Rauh, who will back up the line. The other returning lettermsn is Bob Bennette (5-10 and 165), a junior end.

Tom Kulpinsky, out for football for the first time, will probably start as a defensive halfback.

This will be the Panthers' third season on the gridiron all under the guidance of head coach Al Saner. It is virtually certain that the Panthers will improve on last year's 4-5-0 record. The Panthers did not lose any of last year's squad by graduation as they will have their first graduating class this June.

They will be primarily a senior team as 14 of the lettermen will be playing their last year. The Panthers lost two letter-men Cliff McKennan, back, who joined the Air Force, and Don Lane, tackle, who was not among the 40 candidates for this year's team. Two backs who are assured of starting berths are last season's scoring twins Gene Monahan. fullback, and John Burd, halfback, who scored 39 Pirates' Walker Rehired for 1966 I and 38 points, respectively. Both are seniors.

Monahan, a shifty runner, is described by Saner as one of the Shore's best backs. The Panthers' best lineman, senior tackle Bob Devoto, is also assured of a starting role. Devoto, All-Ocean County tackle, weighs 235. The Panthers will have just about the biggest pair of starting tackles as Jim Hibbs, 230-lb. senior, will hold down the other tackle post.

Two senior holdovers Pete Hatch (6-2 and 190) and Glenn Eckert (5-10 and 145) will be the starting ends on the offense. Both are good receivers. The starting picture gets cloudy now with lettermen tussling for the five remaining jobs. Two seniors, both 180 and sir feet, are locked in a keen battle for the quarterback post Ed Leibfried and Bob Houlihan. The middle three positions are open among six monogram winners Joe Anderson (180 and 6 feet).

Ken Conroy (185 and 5-10), George Dumois (180 and 5-9), all seniors, and a trio of juniors, Charlie Shaffer (180 and 5-9), Ed Spader (155 and 5-8), and Don Krumick (170 and 5-9). 77 yards in 53 seconds and Garrett scored on an 11-yard pass from Troy Winslow with three seconds remaining in die half. Rod Sherman's kick for the extra point was good. With time running out Garrett led USC 70 yards and Winslow went over from the one. But Sherman's try for the winning extra point was wide to the right and the teams had to settle for a tie.

Hankinson completed 17 of 29 throws for 203 yards and added 30 yards running. Garrett ran 33 times and gained 146 yards and caught four passes for 41 more. Garrett was voted the back of the game, and Minnesota's giant end, Aaron Brown, who played both offense and defense, was named the lineman of the night.

Brown, in making the announcement, said Walker has "done a good all around job.

I am very pleased that he can be back." "It feels mighty good," Walker said about his new contract. "I'll eat better. I really enjoyed this year, and I'm looking forward to next year." He said he was pleased with the Pirates' performance this season. Retains Entire Staff Walker also said he will retain his entire coaching staff Clyde King, Al Smith, Johnny Pesky and Alex Grammas. "They've done a real good job," Walker said.

Garrett scored two touchdowns and led the Trojans' attack for the tieing touchdown in the fourth quarter in the opening of the college football sea-ion before 58,597 In Memorial Coliseum. In an eplosive second quarter, each team scored two touchdowns, but a Minnesota attempt for a two-point conversion was throttled and eventually cost the Gophers the victory. Garrett gained 52 yards in six parries as the Trojans scored first on an 80-yard march. Garrett's seven-yard burst was the scoring play. Minnesota bounced back for two touchdowns, Hankinson sneaking over the one and Kent Kramer scoring on a 16-yard pass.

The Gophers converted after failing on the two-pointer and led 13-7. The Trojans promptly whirled 'Obsolete' Chaparral II Still Winning Auto Races Minn.

Walker, who succeeded Danny Murtaugh last fall, took a club, generally picked to finish eighth and not better than seventh, and whipped it into a contender after a dismal start. 2nd Turn in Majors This is Walker's second turn as a big league manager.

He managed the St. Louis Cardinals briefly in 1955, then spent nine years managing in the minors. In nine minor league seasons, his teams finished in the first division eight times, never below third, and won four pennants. Walker, who won the National League batting title in 1947 with a .363 mark, was born in Pas-cagoula, Oct. 22, 1918.

He is married and has three daughters. "Races are won by cars on the downhill side of their mechanical development," Sharp explained. "That's when they are most reliable and that's what is needed to win when one has to go 12 hours as we did at Sebring, in March or 500 kilometers (315 miles). Working on Chaparral 2C "Jim isn't with me because he's working on our new car, the Chaparral 2C," Hap revealed. "This 2C is going to be quite a bit faster because it is smaller and lighter but has more power.

There's a family resemblance but it is meant more for short races. It also will have an automatic transmission." Sharp figures the new car will make its debut "when we get beat badly in our old one. "That could be soon." he says. He expects to lose the pole position in tomorrow's over two litre half of the Double 500 to defending champ Walt Hansgen, Bedminister, N.J., and his Lola 70. He expects to outlast Walt, however, for the victory.

The drivers competed for starting positions off practice times yesterday. Those driving small-engined cars will race today while those in Sharp's class are scheduled for tomorrow. Among those present are Pedro Rodriguez of Mexico and Mario Andretti, current U.S. Auto Club champion, in Ferraris and Rauno Aaltonen and Timo Makinen of Finland in special MGs.

Mantle to Play 2000th Game on 'Day' Today NEW YORK UP) Mickey Mantle Day will be held at Yankee Stadium today when the famous -Yankee switch hitter will play his major league game as New York faces the Detroit Tigers.
