Despite all of the Rebels' assets, Vaught said, they can't be classed as great team "unless we win 10 games." That is a tough assignment because the Rebels have a rugged schedule that sends them against their three leading rivals for the SEC title Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Also on the schedule are Memphis State and Houston, with the Cougars visit to Oxford Oct. 28 marking the first time Negroes will have played on the Rebels' campus. Jim Urbanek, 235 pound tackle, anchors the line again along with 225-pound Dan Sartin, moved from tackle to guard. Jimmy Keyes, who also does the place-kicking for the Rebels, will play linebacker this fall after winning All -SEC honors at guard last year.

Urbanek, two-time SEC choice is considered one of the country's best defensive players, and veteran end Jerry Richardson is another standout. "The only thing that worries me about our defense is that we are starting three sophomores," Vaught said. "If "He was not ready at the first of the year last fall, but he did a good job late in the flnd looking real Wd nOW," Vaught Said of the senior quarterback who took off 20 pounds and now weighs 188. Running chores for the Rebels will be handled by tailback Steve Hindman and fullbacks Bobby Wade and Don Street, with a veteran end, Mac Haik, expected to be the main passing target. The Rebels are loaded on defense, which is built around players holding down starting assignment for the third straight year.

(AP) Coach Johnny Vaught is starting his third decade as Mississippi football coach, and the Southeastern Conference dean has high hopes of producing another top team. "I know I sound optimistic," Vaught said after claiming his offense is improved and his defensive players are the best he has ever had at Ole Miss.

Progress Reported In AVFinley Feud Vaught, whose Rebels posted an 8-2 record last year before bowing to Texas in the Bluebonnett Bowl, said he thinks he has been successful in improving team speed by trimming down his players. "We were too slow last year," Vaught said, adding that he gave each player a maximum weight and on the average trimmed nine pounds off each squad member. As a result, he said, "We are considerably ahead offensively of where we were at this time a year ago.

LEASItJa.iNC. 420 Clay Street Montgomery, Alabam? 2230 Mulberry Road Selma, Alabama ATHltTlC KANSAS CITY OWNER CHARLES Accompanied By Attorney John NEW YORK (AP) Baseball Commissioner William D. Eck-ert adjourned an unprecedented hearing into the dispute between the Kansas City Athletics and owner Charles 0. Finley Mon day night after more than 10 hours of meetings but with no announcement. The meetings were to resume Tuesday.

Seeking to avert a full scale investigation into the affair, Eckert presided at the meeting with American League President Joe Cronin, Jack Aker, pitcher and player representative of the A's, and Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Players Association. The Player's Association has filed an unfair labor practices charge against Finley with the National Labor Relations Board and Monday's hearing was called by Eckert in an effort to settle the squabble so that a complete hearing with witnesses would be unnecessary. A Monday's meeting stretched into the night, it seemed that some decision would be reached and the affair settled. But when the parties emerged from their closed door built up. Having confidence makes me a better pitcher.

It's hard to describe, but I'm pitching better without throwing any differently." Lolich lost 12 days to the National Guard during the riots in Detroit last July, but "I managed to throw a couple of times. My arm lost some strength, but I kept in pretty good shape." The likeable 27-year-old Lolich will pitch against the Baltimore Orioles here Wednesday in a game transferred from Baltimore. Earl Wilson, Detroit's 20-game winner, takes the mound Tuesday night against the Orioles. During the riots, two games in Detroit were moved to Baltimore, so the Tigers got these in exchange.

One of the reasons the offense is improved, he said, is because quarterback Bruce Newell has had a year's experience.

We were shut out three times and got only 18 runs in those 10 games. "I'm not throwing any differently now, we're just getting runs."

and I hope we've com pletely broken out of the recent slump," Manager Dick Williams said Monday as the Red iox enjoyed a day's rest. Williams had plenty of reason to be pleased after the Red Sox pounded out 29 hits, including three homers, one triple and nine-doubles in 7-1 and 9-1 weekend victories over the New York Yankees. "That kind of hitting, going with good pitching, is a tough combination to beat," Williams said. "Now we have to keep it up. This race is going right down to the end." After winning five of their last six games, the Red Sox found themselves still in second place, one-half game behind the Min nesota Twins and one ahead of the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers.

Minnesota and Chicago had chances to improve their positions Mondav night, while the Red Sox and Tigers had a break in the schedule. "We're going to have to keep on winning," Williams said. "I thought a while back that 90 victories might win the pennant, but it going to take a little more than that. "We've won 82 and we can get to 90 by playing one under .500 ball. I'm sure we're going to have to play better than that the rest of the way." Locked in a four-way dogfight for the flag, the Red Sox have 17 games left, including two with Minnesota winding up the sea son in Boston and two in Detroit next Monday and Tuesday.

The owner also released first base man-outfielder Ken Harrelson for making detrimental state ments about him. Around this same time Krausse issued a statement saying Finley was completely justified in fining him $500 and suspending him. But last week the pitcher said Finley had intimidated him into making the statement and added, "He's through scaring Eckert set the hearing at the request of the players and Finley. "The whole purpose of this hearing," the commissioner said, "is to define what issues are outstanding and to resolve as many of these as possible either today or at later meet ings if necessary.

We'll take all of the time that is necessary to resolve all of the issues. "All I can say now is that some progress has been made." Eckert declined to list the issues. At one point during the hearingbefore they broke for a late lunch Eckert and Cronin left the room, leaving Finley, Miller and Aker to try and work out their differences. After about an hour, the commissioner returned to the room. At another point, Finley and his attorneys left the session and met privately for seven minutes.

An hour after they rejoined the others, they broke for lunch. Baseball officials obviously want to see Finley and his players settle their differences without turning the situation into a full blown investigation. Particularly disturbing to them is the unfair practice charge filed with the. NLRB.

"It's been a very amicable meeting so far; 'I think we're making progress," Eckert told newsmen after they had met for more than four hours. Miller more or less agreed with Eckert, saying, "I think any time the parties sit down and talk, that's progress." Finley, accompanied by attorneys John Stevens and Herman Lazarus, had no comment. The dispute began Aug. 18 when Finley, reacting to reports of heavy drinking on one of the Athletics' plane trips, fined and suspended pitcher Lew Krausse for an alleged incident on the plane. The players reacted by issuing a statement criticizing Finley and putting their full support behind Manager Alvin Dark.

Finley then fired Dark after a marathon meeting with the MICKEY LOLICH Enjoying Life spent six weeks at Ft. his Army ROTC summer the Plains with a different challenge by sophomore Mike Kolen in the spring. Robert is now moving better than ever and his increased mobility has helped' the pass defense in the intermediate zone. In each of the full team pass offense against pass defense scrimmages Margeson has made a big interception and returned it for a touchdown. Margeson sees several similarities between his Army life and playing football.

"The main thing is that you have to discipline yourself. We had very little free time at camp and really had to organize ourselves. The same is true when you are playing football and going to college," Robert says. Margeson will graduate in June and will be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army.

"You're living in a completely different world in a big pennant race," he said. "It makes every game more interesting. "I'm enjoying it, and I'll enjoy it a lot more if we're in first place when the season ends."

"Watching fire power demonstrations and napalm attacks made me realize how small and insignificant a human life is worth in war. It made me think about a lot of things and I know it has helped me settle down and mature." said Margeson.

I'm real thankful tor mose over tnere who are making it possible for me to be able to get an education and play football "The first thing I learned at camp was that the war in Viet Nam is not like you see it in the newscasts and it sure isn't anything like Combat on TV.
