Green Bay Press-Gazette Wed, July 30, 1969 C-1 Unseasoned Packer Offensive Line To Get Veteran Test man of high promise who saw little action last season, or rookie Bill Hayhoe of USC at the right in the ninth annual Bishop's Charities Game a week from Saturday night. Aside from the Offense's interior line, veterans abound at all positions. Chief among them tackle stand manned with all pro distinction by Gregg since 1958. Worthy Successor ed at defensive tackle for the Trojans In 1968, although he has exhibited impressive potential in his new role. Gale Gillingham, considered by many to be one of pro football's premier guards, has moved into Kramer's former post, leaving left guard up for grabs.

Bob Hyland, a center last season, is expected to draw the starting assignment there Thursday. Hyland, a first round is quarterback Bart Starr, who is beginning his 14th season, a By LEE REMMEL Press-Gazette Sporli Writer As per custom, the Offense will outnumber the Defense In Thursday night's Packer baptismal, the annual intra-squad game. The former will charge into the Lambeau Field production, expected to draw a record house of 35,000 fans, with 33 athletes In battle dress, 'the latter with only 27, But the Defense will have a decided edge In experience up front, where lj presumably counts. Assistant coaches Dave Manner and Wayne Robinson, who will be directing the resistance, will be able to call upon such seasoned performers as Willie Davis, Lionel Aldridge, Henry Jordan, Ron Kostelnik, Bob Brown arid Jim Weatherwax to man the front four. Contrast on Offense Their counterparts, offensive line coach Ray Wietecha and aide Forrest Gregg, will find themselves In a somewhat contrasting situation as the result of retirements by three longtime stalwarts.

One of these, of course, is Gregg himself. Also missing from the 1969 scene are Bob Skoronski, 19G8's offense captain and left tackle, and right guard Jerry Kramer. In their stead, towering Francis Peay will be holding forth at Skoronski's old station at kickoff Thursday night and either Dick Himes, a second year professional experience at guard although he played the position for one season at Boston College. Close Scrutiny Also in contention here is Bill Lueck, a first round pick a year ago, who made only brief appearances last season. All of these hopefuls will be under close scrutiny, of course, since the time of decision Is drawing near, beginning with the Pack's pre-season inaugural against the New York Giants At this early date, Peay looks to be a worthy successor to Packer longevity record.

PACKER PATTER Bart Starr, who has never thrown better, pitched "touchdown" passes to Donny Anderson and Carroll Dale to spice Tuesday Skoronski while Himes, by a knee injury for the past week, has had little opportunity to demonstrate his talents. The 6-foot-8 Hayhoe, is largely inexperienced, having perform afternoon's scrimmage, which ended the Packers' two-a-day practice schedule Cornerback Herb Aridrrley also sparked, breaking up a bomb to free agent flanker Terry Fredenberg of UW-M with a perfectly timed, last second leap In the end zone. Other sparklers were Travis Williams and fellow running back Dave Hampton, the impressively built rookie from Wyoming. Defensive tackle Jim Weather-wax, in full contact for the first time since undergoing surgery on his right knee last September, was happy to report, "It felt good." Rengtson, admitting "Thern was some pretty good contact out there," added, "I was glad to get another chance to have them kick under game conditions" He had reference to field goal practice by kick draft choice in 1967, has had no 616 Beats Golfers, 2-0 For Seventh Straight Title ers Mike Mercer, Ken Vinyard and Joe Runk under a "live" walked only one batter while striking out eight.

Don Rue suffered his first loss of the year, hurling a six-hitter, fanning three and yielding four costly walks. The Sixers scored their first run in the fourth when Dave Gil By PAUL VANDEVELD Press-Gazette Sports Writer The 616 Club won its seventh straight Major AAA softball title by mathematically eliminating nearest rival Military Golfland, 2-0, Tuesday night at Bay Beach. The Six avenged an earlier 5-4 loss to Golfland in bringing its league record to 10-1 while Golfland now stands with an 8-3 mark with only one game yet to be played. A crowd of almost 600 people completely encircled the Bay Beach diamond and watched 616 pitcher Fred Fels turn in a two-hitter to sinch the AAA crown. Fels gave up one hit to Jerry Douville fanned nine and only that one walk blemished his effort.

Esquire had only four hits off loser Larry Abts but three of them were home runs. Douville, Paul Heney and Jim Gillis each belted a round tripper. In other AAA action, Jack's Rose Hill Bar blanked Van-L-Limited 8-0 with the help of a big five-run outburst in the third inning. In the inning, Jack's got six of its 12 hits on singles by Hank Perenboom, Carl Browns, Terry Halking and Quinn Van-den Heuvel and doubles by Jim Steger and John Lambie. Vanden Heuvel picked up the win for Jack's on a five hitter.

"I weigh 263 right now and Coach Hanncr told me not to lose anything." How does he deal with this happy con- corn? "I usually get a hamburger at night," he said, explaining, "I eat hardly any breakfast at all.

A de-fensive end as a junior at USC, he didn't become a starter until he wag a senior arid that status endured for less than half the season.

He's been very fine he has good agility and quickness for his size." A 'defensive lineman at USC, Hayhoe was stationed at tight end during the Pack's rookie camp in June but was transferred, to offensive tackle shortly after training 'camp opened July 16; Happy in his new assignment, the personable Californian reports, "I like it better than I did the tight end snot.
