Van Brocklin was referring to the NFL opener at Baltimore, a meeting between two Western Division title contenders which could have a lasting effect upon the race. The Vikings will make the trip Saturday without safety man Dale Hackbart, fullback Darrell Lester and defensive end Bob Taylor, who were placed on waivers in the final cutdown yesterday. Hackbart, the former University of Wisconsin quarterback, joined the Vikings as a free agent after sitting out the 1964 season. He had played defense for one season at Green Bay and for three years at Washington. "ITS TOUGH, coming this close and then missing out," said the likeable and popular Wisconsin native.

"I thought I had played fairly well but I can understand the decision the club had to make. One of the secondary men had to go." Hackbart will remain here to wait out the 48-hour waiver period. If not picked up, he said he would likely retire from pro ball and either return to his insurance business in Madison or go into coaching. He has a degree in physical education. 1 Taylor was obtained in a trade with the New York Giants.

On Grady Alderman, the injured Viking tackle: "He. has a special protective brace, and he can raise his arm high enough for pass protection blocking. I cannot say now whether he will play. Time will tell.

We consider Alderman the finest offensive tackle in the league, and if he is not ready this Sunday, we won't take a chance on him PITCHOUTS The Vikings worked out yesterday under steady drizzles on a muddy field at Midway.

One is the sore knee hampering Jerry Newsom, Holmberg's rival at that position. The other is the "down right unfriendly way in which Joe conducted himself in the final pre-season scrimmage.

After Newsom sputtered some at fullback and then was injured in the first half of the scrimmage, Holmberg came on to rush for 93 yards and 2 touchdowns on 21 bruising trips. He scattered would-be tacklers and blockers with about the same disdain. Joe is a quiet, curly-haired fellow from suburban Mounds View. And his short career has been equal parts mystery and frustration. Last fall, at Indiana, the Gophers were knocking for an important touchdown.

Sophomore Holmberg had a couple whacks at the center of the line. On the first, he appeared to be in the end zone down to his knees. On the second, to his waist. The officials, however, had a less positive vantage point and it got to be fourth and a foot. Mike Reid, then the varsity fullback, was rushed in and disappointed Joe trudged to the sidelines.

Reid popped over guard and up went the touchdown signal. That was pretty much the way of Holmberg's first varsity season a foot short and six points late. From a more concrete aspect, Joe has only fair starting speed. Fullback holes open and close with a suddenness that calls for more. To ensate, Holmberg runs with excellent balance and with intelligence.

He spends his blocking down to the last nickel. When that's gone, he looks for people to run over. "Toughness" isn't the right word nobody plays fullback in the Big Ten without that. Perhaps aggressiveness and a bit more confidence. At any rate, fullback Holmberg is hitting with new authority.

nrices in By BILL McGRANE Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Opportunity and a change in demeanor seem to have struck Minnesota's Joe Holmberg at approximately the same time. Joe is a junior fullback on the Minnesota football squad. Friday night, when the Gophers open the season at Southern California, Holmberg stands a good chance of starting. Deane Beman, Dale Morey, Ed Tutwiler and Britain's eight-man Walker Cup team will be looking over their shoulders at Ward during the four-day competition. Ward believes the revised format favors the old guard, such as Campbell, 42; Tutwiler, last year's runner-up, 46; Billie Joe Patton, 43; Charlie Coe, 41; Bill Hynd-man, 49; Ireland's Joe Carr, 43, and Ward, 39.

"The one round a day should make it easy for us oldsters," Harvie said. "The two rounds a day helped the strong young bucks." Minnesotans in the tournament are Les Peterson, Leo Spooner and Neil Croonquist r-S the Your WITH EXTRA THICK BONDED PLUS: camp at Bemidji, but, with Paul Dickson able to play defensive end if needed and Gary Larsen available for fill-in duty at defensive tackle, Taylor was considered expendable. Lester's release was not surprising, although he had competed well in his trials this season. A knee injury early in the camp held him back, and then the additions of Phil King, Billy Ray Barnes and Dick James as running backs further lessened his chances. THE CUTS left the Vikings with this roster breakdown: Four offensive ends, three tackles, three guards, one center, three quarterbacks, six running backs, two flankers, two kickers, two defensive ends, three defensive tackles, five linebackers and six secondary men.

These figures are a bit misleading, because several men can assume multiple positions. Van Brocklin, meanwhile, was thinking about the Baltimore game when he told the first St. Paul gathering of the WCCO Viking Fan Club: "It will be a meeting between two fine football teams, each thinking they can win the divisional championship. I feel it will be the game of the year." About Johnny Unitas, the Colt quarterback who is reported to be favoring a sore arm, Van Brocklin said: "I'm sure Unitas will be 100 per cent well. I looked at the films of Baltimore's vie- WORLD said he wouldn't report to practice unless his salary demands are met.

Forecast If some players develop to support De-laney's running and Norsted's passing, the Bulldogs could win the championship.
