"I can't name a player in this business Another Ace At Berkleigh The 15th hole at the Berkleigh Country Club is becoming quite popular among Lehigh Valley area golfers.

Les Lerner of Allentown, who is affiliated with the Dorney-ville Golf Center, yesterday became the second person this season to score a hole-in one on the 210-yard, par three hole. Lerner used a three iron to gain the first ace of his career. Playing along with him were Frank Berg and Al Kinberg, both of Allentown. sought him about for a quiet talk about a special problem.

The NFL record book shows he leads the league with 79 interceptions day, said, "when that kid Coner-ly (40-year-old Charley Conerly of I 1 the New York Giants) decided to hang it up, I made up my mind. Tunnell and Conerly picked the ball off an opponent's fingertips as that player was set to pass to an uncovered teammate. Blinky, as he is called, never has been known as a prolific scorer although he possesses one of the finest arching set shots in basketball. He put that shot, as well as a surprisingly adept drive, to use in the final stages of the season and the first playoff against Trenton and several times hit better than 20 points. "He'll be shooting, driving, defending and passing Saturday.

He may be unconcerned by the Billies. They will not be unconcerned about him. Leagues to Meet joined New York -as rookies in missioner has okayed this setup," Em said. "It's fun to discover the kids and say 'he's mine' as he developes." Tunnell, who earned the title patriach of the Packers, helped develop Willie Wood, the safety man who beat Em out of a starting job with the National Football League champions last season. "Em could get a lot closer to the players than we could," said Allentown softball leagues and in punt returns with 258.

He could fall back on experience and by watching an offensive player's moves was seldom beat." Tunnell, who came to Green Bay from the Giants in 1959 along with coach Vince Lombardi, was a favorite of the Packer players. He was asked to talk to them before they games. They also will meet tonight in the Recreation Commission office.

The Church League will meet at 6:30, with the City Softball League 1948. "It's my birthday tomorrow," said Tunnell, "and I'm getting together with some of the kids and throw a retirement party."

As he crosses the midcourt line he dribbles to the foul circle, then suddenly veers to the right. In the corner he spots Walt Simon, a tempting, unguarded target. But the Benedict College rookie doesn't get the ball. The dribbler, with the finesse of a well-seasoned professional and an ability possessed by few, "telegraphs" his pass to Simon and in the same motion whips the ball across his body to Johnny Nacincik streaking in from the side. Or, it may zip through an "impossible" opening between two defenders in the lane to Roman Turmon or Eddie Burton underneath.

Easy layups for the Eastern Professional Basketball League champion Allentown Jets. The passer? Who in the Eastern League could it be but Brendan McCann, Jets' player-coach who will lead Allentown against Williamsport Saturday night in Rockne HalLin the first game of a best-of-tnree series for the President's Cup? McCann is and has been a passer par excellence in the EBL. His talent for passing off the dribble is so great, in fact, that he ofttimes makes himself look bad by throwing the ball away when a teammate fails to anticipate his move and stops short when he should have cut under the basket. That happens infrequently, however, when compared to the number of successful plays he engineers. During the regular season, when the Jets won 22 of 27 games, to capture their second straiglit title, McCann handed off 217 assists.

This is far below his total, of 300 a year ago but, except for the last few contests, he seldom played more than half of each game. Both seasons he led the league in BRENDAN MCCANN Multiple threat Will Army Take Bids To Bowls? NEW YORK Paul Dietzel, who has been spoiled by a steady bowl diet during, his coaching career, is not opposed to a postseason game for Army under certain circumstances. "First of all. Army people would have to want the game," the new head coach at West Point said Wednesday. "Our team would have to be an outstanding one one that would give a good account of itself.

And the players themselves would have to be given the right to vote 'yes' or Eshleman Set Pace For Allen Only three Allen players finished in double-figure averages for the 1961-62 basketball season. The Canaries, who finished with an 11-11 record, were paced by seniors Don Eshleman and Ed Ferry and junior Jay Borillo. Eshleman was top scorer with 378 points in 22 games for a 17.2 average. Ferry followed with 286 in 21 games for a 13.6 mark and Borillo had 251 in 21 games for an 11.9 mark. The Canaries tallied 1381 points to their opponents 1360 as Coach Milo Sewards completed his 12th season and boosted his record to Open 9 a.m.

Bill Heydt of Palmerton sank 19 fouls as the Bombers edged Allen, 61- Army traditionally has remained aloof from bowl games but in recent years the resistance has been wavering.
