Smith and Jan Faris 1 Flatley Is Named Rookie Of Year In NFL Contrary to what the local We Love Our Giants gentry believes that their San Francisco National League club got the best of the player swap with Milwaukee veteran sports writer Harry Grayson contends Manager Johnny McHale of the Braves could well have traded Milwaukee to the championship The deal most certainly makes the Braves Other comments by the former west coast sports writer a long time New Yorker the Giants won the National League pennant in 1962 Manager Alvin Dark said Felipe Alou could do everything as well as Willie Mays it surprising that practically every baseball man said that the Braves got all the best of the deal that brought Alou Ed Bailey Billy Hoeft and an athlete to be named later in exchange for Bob Hend-ley Bob Shaw and Del Crandall is a ballplayer of capabilities traded certainly not without obtaining a comparable performer in return Alou is an established big league ballplayer who can carry a club As Casey Stengel remarked Giants had better get a lot of pitching out of Hendley and what the SF management expects If it does not the Giants' pennant hopes will go down the drain deeper Come to

which the individuals put on three previous national AAU meets Bakersfield certainly has the experience manpower facilities and finances to put on a successful meet again But it went to Rutgers in New Brunswick NJ and as Los Angeles writer Paul Zimmerman points out will attract a guard where Bakersfield could have made the Olympic year event a paying proposition It proves again how out of balance our amateur athletic authority is in the United stadium track reportedly is equipped with only seven lanes for sprints and hurdles while swift track has nine Weather conditions also have been conducive to top performances in the AAU meets staged in Bakersfield Weather is a big question in New Jersey as it was in St Louis where the 1963 AAU meet drew a paltry few thousand fans The slap in the face very well could cool any future ambitions by Bakersfield to try to land any more AAU meets You Can Get Your Rose Bowl Program Now ODDS ENDS: The official program for the 1964 Rose Bowl
