Sports Section Don Shula Coach Of Year In 40 Hagerstowri, Thursday, December 10, 1964 WHAT A this has turned out to be for the Colt and Redskin followers around town. The Baltimore fans are ecstatic and the Washington rooters are overjoyed with the progress their loved ones have shown this fall. The Colts are winning or leading the Western Conference of the NFL in just about everything but stolen tjnvels. They sewed up the conference title with four games to play, gained five first-team positions on the AH-NFL selections announced yesterday, and, Ijest of all, Don Shula was named the league's Coach oj the Year today. About the only world remaining to be conquered bj' the Colts is the NFL championship, which will be decided on Dec.

The highlight has been the sensational play of first-year players Charley Taylor and Paul Krause.

It's been six years sijice a National Football League player finished CHARLEY TAYLOR--rookie of the year the top ten leaders in both rushing and pass receiving, but Charley is a virtual certainty to achieve that distinction this season. And when he does, he'll be only the second rookie to ever accomplish the feat. In the war year bf 1943 three players showed up in both tables-rookie John Grigas (Holy Cross) of the Chicago Cardi- aals gained 333 yards to finish eighth in rushing Shd caught 19 passes to tie for eighth in receiving.

In addition to Taylor, Bill Brown of the Minneso- Vikings has a chance to rank in both categories, gut he currently is tied for llth in receiving and yould need a strong showing in the final game next week at Chicago to move up.

It was sheer bunk.

The golf pros of Hagen's days of glory were segregated to the pro shop and the locker roam. They still arc in most places outside the United States. Today in the United States the "name" pros who rank high on the tournament trail are welcomed by social climbers as animate step ladders. The ordinary pro. however, must be a haberdasher, mechanic, club cleaner, caddy master, social director and hail fellow well met.

There are, naturally, some real great teaching pros who Thai's because should he different tonight. Th'e Hiue Devils are ranked cighlh in nation and should have no with a train whose tallest man is 6-5 Chris Rcdding- ton. Duke's big men are 6-10 pivot- man Hack Tison and 6-6 forward Jack Miu-in.

Alter 13 NFL games, Taylor ranks sixth among rushers vvitl 744 yards in 191 carries. He eighth among pass receivers with 49 for 720 yards. He has scored 30 touchdowns.

W. Hudson Phone 762-4103 they are, or have been, players of stature on the tour. On the tour there is a group of tail enders who rarely, if ever, finish in the money. They are known as "hot dog pros." If you wonder why, just imagine what they eat to survive. Lured by the gold dust on the tournament trail they jump in over their heads, never are able to develop their games to the top money level and eventually drift into a club job.

It is far from a bargain for either them or the club. If you own a club you get what you pay for, and if you buy a "hot dog" you'd belter have your own mustard. Al Balding, the tall man from Toronto who was the first Canadian ever to win a championship on the U.S. tour, confirms this with a stark analyzation of just where golf clubs are heading. "The directors of most clubs are merely trying to keep the membership happy," the Mark land Wood professional said frankly.

"All they want Is a nice, pleasant pat-on-the-back guy who looks after the caddies and carts, runs the shop, handles million complaints and will give lessons at about S3 a half hour. Figure that out for an eight hour day, make him work seven days a week and pay his own 1 help and see if you don't think the average back-slapping bras- sie tutor wouldn't be better off earning his victuals as a vacuum cleaner salesman in Antarctica. Of course the life is relatively easy irom a callous standpoint 1 but, on the other foot, the milkman usually doesn't barter homogenized for lessons in how to wallop a wedge. From Wall Street to Walla Walla there is a plaintive wail these days that help is not only difficult but practically impossible to find. What they refer to is the kind of help that doesn't cpnslandy eyeball the second hand or bust out of the gate on top when the whistle blows for the coffee break.

"This is a work of love," says Balding. "If you love this game you do your job and then spend your own hours polishing your own game. But, as In any other business, we have too many clock watchers. They don't spend their lime learning and the dedicated professional is in a great big bind." So the club pro goes on desperately trying to raise the level of his profession, a job which Hagen was supposed to have accomplished years ago. Yet, actually, he still is on the whole.
