Kelly indicated the team ended its season on a note of optimism. "We only had 22 players at Indianapolis last Saturday," Kelly said. "We had players at positions they hadn't played, and we had ourselves quite a game." "WE GOT beat 39-0.

but I felt a lot better after that game than at any time this season. We moved the ball on Indianapolis, like we hadn't all year. We picked up 17 first downs, and quarterback John Govert did a great job of running our makeshift offense. "Lowell Wade (Sexton High graduate) had his best game of the year. I'm sure he gained over 100 yards.

After the game Indianapolis coach Ken Carpenter told me he was impressed with the way we hit. He said our guys hit harder than any other team they had played. "I know our guys enjoyed themselves, and they all got paid. I think we all learned quite a bit from this past season. "WE KNOW the mistakes that were made, and what we have to do to make the team a' success," Kelly said.

"I don't agree that Lansing Isn't a pro football town. I feel the fans are there." said Terres. "What we have to do is put together a sound, entertaining football team that will be competitive with Indianapolis, Flint and Youngstown. That's our goal. "We'll begin moving In that direction in a week or two.

Kelly said, "We're already the process of forming a iew corporation. Our attor-leys are working out the details. Our group will include toe Cox and Mr.

and Mrs. Don Rey, who were part owners of the All Stars. "We plan to change the name of the team and are hoping to reorganize and build the Lansing Professional Football Club to the quality it once was, if not better. "CREDIBILITY," KELLY said, "is what we have to rebuild Into the organization. We've got to prove to people that we're going to operate this organization as a business.

At the same time we have to get busy and start recruiting players, making contact gith college coaches."

Elkins says the tournament will be limited to 50 two-man teams. Boats must meet safety and equipment standards prior to the tournament. Entry fee is $25 per team.

FOR 10 seasons the articulate, intelligent Beard was one of the game's most solid, steady performers. He won I I tournaments in that time. He was the leading money-winner in 1969. He won in excess of $100,000 for five consecutive years.

But he hadn't won one of the Big Four events. He was rarely mentioned when the game's top stars were listed. He was overlooked and under-publicized. He decided he needed a below Barton Dam In Washtenaw County. Calhoun waters are also yielding some trophy fish.
