00 an IN THIS CORNER with -DICK ZEHMS- (While Dick Zehms is on vacation, guest columnists are filling This Corner.) By SID GILLMAN Head Coach, Los Angeles Rams Perhaps the most frequent question I'm asked, these dayscoach for that matter--is "how is your team to do this year?" going, my answer bordensa on vagueness, but it almost has to. I don't think there is a coach alive who can predict exactly where his team will finish in a conference race. Certainly in the Western Conference coach. National Football League. Of these two things I am sure.

Number one, any one of four teams in the Western Conference have the personnel to win the title, and, number two, I would have to count the among these entries. Rams, four I'd bracket together would be the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions, the always dangerous '49ers and Los Angeles, The title team doubtless will be the one which can go through the the least 12-game, scheduleies" to key players. Detroit without Bobby Layne would be aman easier team reckon with. Francisco without Hugh McElhenny is a matter of 1954 record- -a serious loss. Should Chicago's, Harlan Hill be sidelined, Bear's passing attack would suffer greatly.

And how would our backfield look without Dan Towler and Tank Younger or with. Norm VanBrocklin on the bench. As far as the Rams are concerned, I suppose almost any casual observer would suggest that the success of our season hangs primarily on the continued fine performance of VanBrocklin, Younger, Towler and Bob Boyd, the team's number one passer, number one a and two rushers and top receiver, respectively, Certainly if we are to be strong, they must all have great seasons like they turned in last year. However, this apparently, is not enough. Despite fine individual efforts, the Rams last year had a 6-5-1 record.

While we were able to score 41 touchdowns- only less than champion Detroit--and score points--one more than third place San Francisco our opponents were able to score 285. points on us. The improvement we are hoping to develop this year is in our defense. Several games were lost last year in the final moments when the pass defense seemed to fall apart. Some of the stronger teams had too easy a time running against us, too.

Our point production would seem to be adequate if we can duplicate last year's performance. So our plan of attack will be to simply maintain that phase of the game at its current high level and cut down those opposing ball carriers before. they get to the end zone. THE PERSONNEL we are working, tougher an defensive attempt unit might be of interest. We suffered a severe loss at end when Duane Wardlow went to the service but Andy Robustelli has bee.1 looking fine in practice.

Paul Miller, a rookie last year, is back in camp and we have moved Ed Beatty, our number one draft choice in 1954 to this spot. He played center at Mississippi, but is ideally built at 6-3 and 230 for a defensive end and has shown real promise in the first two weeks. Bud McFadin and Gene Lipscomb look like our best bets at tackle at this time. Gene is astonishingly active for his 280 pounds and needs only, a little more experience to be one of the great ones in the league. Bud is a good, solid ball player.

Art Hauser, a 1954 rookie, is looking good in drills and a couple of new men this -Ed Fouch of SO and Glen Hotzman show promise. The middle guard perhaps the most hotly contested position on the squad. Stan West is back at the same old stand there and we have moved Don Paul into this spot. He's looking great. Two rookies, Jack Ellena of UCLA and LSU's Sid Fournet are providing all the competition these two vets are looking for.

OUR LINEBACKING CREW looks solid with veterans Harland Svare, Bob Griffin, Les Richter and rookie Larry Morris of Georgia Tech. Larry was our number one draft choice this and looks every inch the part. He has great speed for a boy of 210 pounds and I predict a fine professional football future for him. Defensive halfbacks at this point our veterans from last season, Hall Haynes and Ed Hughes while Bill Sherman and Jack Dwyer are back for safetyman duties. A number of rookies are in the battle here but at this time none have shown enough to unseat the more experienced men.

They're tough positions to play and experience is most important. That's about it. To these boys, and mothers, will be given the assignment keeping our goal line free of heavy traffic. don't want it to be the crossroads of America. How well we are able to protect it will pretty much determine where we appear in the final league standings next December.

A two-run triple by pinchhitter George Crowe was the blow that finished loser Ed Roebuck, who came in when starter Karl Spooner pulled a muscle in his left shoulder in the sixth.

Relief pitcher Ernie Johnson, who pitched the last three innings after Bob Buhl and Phil Paine were clubbed, was given the victory. He helped nail down the Milwaukee decision by driving a run with a single with the bases loaded in the ninth. A wild pitch by Sandy Koufax, Brooklyn bonus pitcher, let the final Milwaukee run score.

U- Anske, Somers, Yuhase. Att.1,103. VERN STEPHENS They about the same the big time, and that is percentage of play in the Pacific the PCL. me give you a comparison is the inferior ball parks although I can't really come plain on this account. (Editor Note: Vern has already hi four home runs since joining Seattle.) And before I strike out the league completely, let me just say that the PCL facilities cannot come close to compare ing with the the majors simply because owners are in position to improve the parkdecline.

As far as talent is con-4 cerned, I can that PCL has some fine young ball players. I would say that the youngsters I have seen so? far are much better than nearly all of the bonus players that now grace the major league rosters. The PCL also has some top flight managing. With most the clubs here splitting their rosters about 50-50 rookies and veterans, the managers have concentrate on coaching the youngsters. strategy style on the Coast as baseball.

THE COAST LEAGUE PENNANT RACE right now is dandy. All of the contending clubs believe that Hollywood re mains the team to beat in the last two months of the race. Our Seattle club has an excellent staff of experienced pitchers, but we will have to do little more hitting if we are to grab all the marbles. San Diego, on the other hand, has the hitting but may have to improve on the mound to make another run down the stretch The Padres have experience at every position, though, and will make it tough right down to the wire. GETTING BACK TO THE MAJORS, I see the American League flag chase is tightening every day.

With the Yankees having lost nine out of 13 through one stretch, Chicago, Cleve land and Boston have gained steadily. But the Yankees always seem to win that big one the top contenders and that is probably the reason Casey Stengel will hoist his sixth flag over Yankee Stadium in seven Chicago had quite a hot streak, and could possibly win but the White Sox usually fade little in August and September Cleveland looks like it just doesn't have it this time, what with its hitting and pitching staff going the way it has been Golfing at the Summit is the title of today's column. Although we have no information on the interests or talents of the other Big Three, thanks to Independent printer Clair Nye, we received this week a very lucid picture of President Eisenhower on the links. Nye, an local golfer, visited his brother Gerald, the former senator from North Dakota, in Washington, D.C. last month.

Gerald has played sevferal rounds with the Presidentmost recent in a foursome with Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen Lat Ike's home course, Burning Tree CO in Bethesda, Md. Clair played Burning Tree with his brother during his visit. From Gerald's description and glossings from Burning Tree, Clair relates the following little-known account of the President's game. "Needless to say, President Eisenhower is considered a wonderful playing partner. He walks at a brisk pace, strokes with little hesitation and rarely breaks silence except to congratulate a partner on a fine "Ike's handicap at Burning Tree is 18.

which considering his age, is better than even par. His game is a sound one and he has known some really fine rounds such as an 84 over the difficult Augusta National (Masters) course. so many of us, his major difficulty is putting. He can't sink those birdies. His best shot is a fairway wood which he generally employs instead of the long iron and hits with real authority.

He's also deadly on short chips. His drives average about 200 yards. "The President carries 16 clubs in his bag, two more than the rules of golf permit. The additional clubs are a 5-wood (often called Grandpa's handy helper) and a 10-iron for chipping. Other than this, he sticks strictly to the rules.

"As for Burning Tree, it's an excellent course and very tough. The greens are large with many dips. There's a lot of roll on the fairways. I normally shoot in the low 80s here, but took 96 strokes there!" And so this inside look at our golfing President, "a wonderful person to play with." LLOYD PORTER, unattached pro from Lakewood, set a new South Course record with a 7-under-par 24 Thursday. He birdied the first seven holes.

His card: Par 443 343 433 31 Porter 332 232 333 -24 The old mark of 25 was held by Recreation Park pro Harry McCarthy. Fay Coleman's 26 is the competitive standard. Porter was playing with his daughter, Pat, and Laurence and Mary 8 were by scores of 20-19, 20-0 and 7-6. North coaches Tony Knap (Pittsburgh) and Charles Butler (Alameda) are determined the Yankees will break the jinx and crash into the win column, but rebel coaches Jim Blewett (Manual Arts) and Aaron Wade (Centennial) claim, "They (the NorthAll-Stars) won't win this one, if we can help it."
