A couple of times I swallowed it. That made me stop." Ho also stopped making his annual winter trip to the hospital. "I've had seven operations on my knees," he said casually.

"But I don't consider them serious unless it's a ligament, and I haven't had any of those. And this past winter I wasn't in the hospital for the first time that I can remember." Finally, Holub has made himself completely relaxed at camp by trucking two horses In to keep him company. "They give me something to do," Holub explained. "Last year I just about went out of my mind when we weren't working out. Now I've got them over by this place near here and I go over and work with them when I have time." With his phone in and his tobacco out, a winter free of operations and a summer full of horses, Holub has the world on a string.

As a matter of fact as far as anyone can figure, there's only one problem left. 'The television down home Is fuzzy because we're so far away from anything," said Holub. "And sometimes when the deer run around they break the cable all together." There is Holub's ranch on the Pecoa River, some 12S miles from Odessa, where the Holub family shops twice a week for groceries and supplies. And now that the phone Is In, Holub has just about solved all the problems he has had to contend with since he came out of Texas Tech and grabbed a line-backing spot with the Chiefs. He had stopped chewing tobacco during a game, has avoided an operation for the first time In several years, and has found a solution to the problem of being lonely at camp.

"I still chew during a workout," said Holub, "but I A LIBERTY. Mo. (AP) E. J. Holub has a phone.

'Teh, the boyi kid me because I'm lort of a hillbilly," Holub admitted at the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp as he chomped away on the never-present chewing tobacco. "But we never could get a phone before. "We're 170 miles from the home office and they weren't able to get us any lines. Finally they worked out some way of doing it, It's not that we didn't want one. It was Just complicated to get one In there." WOUNDED BACK Westmoreland Fights To Play Once Again The Miami News 'Diary Of A Page 19A Pro Cunip Roundup, Page 19A By JOHN CRITTENDEN Sporti Writtr ol Tht Miami Nawi NATIONAL EVENT Golf Tourney Likely Here By MORRIS McLEMORE Miami New Sporti Editor Another major golf tournament Is in the wind for Miami.

The American Cancer Society, through its local agent, Joe Subers, is contemplating a truly national tournament to be played over only 36 holes at a local course, probably the Dora Country Club. The play would be named for Walter Hagen. Tentative plans call for the tournament to be played the weekend of Dec. 3-5, with the first day devoted to a pro-celebrity round. Hagen, whose distinguished golf career spreadeagled three decades and more, had a throat operation forced I upon him by cancer.

It is understood he has given his blessing to the tournament, for it would have unique features. I I The plan, as The Miami News learned exclusively, calls for the Cancer Society in conjunction with Wilson Sporting Goods Hagen's sponsor through the years to conduct a tournament in each state for club profession-als. The prize for the winner of each of these would be a trip to Miami for the Hagen Tournament. The 50 top money-winners in the PGA's regular tour "group also would be invited, with two-man teams of a touring pro and a club pro then determined by draw: these would contest the issue in the tournament, best ball. The Hagen Tournament would precede the PGA Four-Ball at Palm Beach Gardens by one week.

No prize money for the Hagen Tournament has been established as yet.

On the reports that came from San Diego, it was called a psychological barrier and a mental block. Dick Westmoreland khew what they were trying to say. They were trying to say that he was gunshy.

But Westmoreland rejected all offers to poke around inside his mind. "I just had a broken part," said the Miami Dolphin corner-back, "but they didn't willing to admit that." As San Diego approached the American Football League championship game last year, Westmoreland got all kinds of curious offers. One man kept trying to get him to set up an appointment with a psychiatrist. Another offered to bring in a hypnotist from a night club act to make Westmoreland get what ailed him. "They wanted to hypnotize away a broken arm," Dick said, and as silly as it sounds, it's no laughing matter to him.

With their own personal strength coach and barbells for everybody, the Chargers expect each player to be stronger than dirt. After he broke a bone in his forearm in the second 1965 pre-season game, Westmoreland never was that strong again. "It hurt to scratch my head," he said. Dick hung on until the end he got a half-share of the championship game money but the Chargers made it plain they considered him expendable by leaving his name off the protected player list when it came time to stock the Miami franchise. So after being runner-up to Billy Joe for AFL rookie of the year in 1963 and leading the Chargers in interceptions in 1964, Westmoreland is fighting for work once again in one of the Dolphins', most thoroughly contested areas, the defensive backfield.

But at least Dick doesn't feel that he has to prove anything not to anybody else and not to himself. "When you're wounded, you're wounded, and that's all there is to it," he said. "I wasn't concerned about what would happen when I got the first good knock on that arm here in practice, or in the first game because when my doctor finally released me in June, I knew the arm could take it. I still like to think of myself as a top player and as a top man." There was no question about Westmoreland's original arm injury; It came in the second game of last year's exhibition season against Kansas City "Say," Dick winced, "we're playing Kansas City Friday and it's the second game again" when he moved to the line of scrimmage to tackle Curt McClinton. Westmoreland's forearm hit McClinton's ankle "it was a bone to bone collision," he said and there went 11 weeks.

Westmoreland came back with a steel brace on the newly healed broken arm, but in late November just after he had returned to work he ran into a linebacker in practice and the arm hurt again. "There's no substitute for pain," he said. "When you've felt it, you know what it is." There are no one-handed corner backs. Westmoreland kept playing, and in the game films, an especially bad tackle popped up. "It was a lousy tackle," Dick admits.

That was when the Chargers, Westmoreland said, decided he had lost his desire for contact, not recognizing that he had reinjured the left arm. can't shelter any part of your body," he said, "or you're through with the game. But this thing wasn't in my mind. I was supposed to lift weights, and I couldn't even use the arm to lift myself up off the bed. I remember Ernie Ladd patting me on the arm once, before a game, just patting my arm while he was talking to me, and just being touched like that was about to kill me." Dick has the X-rays to prove it.

"I went to my own doctor," he said, "and he could see where there was a new break.

They had reasons to wait.

Sandy Koufax was pitching for the Dodgers and Billy Hitchcock was managing for the Braves. Hitchcock, who replaced Bobby Bragan as manager of Atlanta yesterday, piloted the club to a'2-1 victory over Koufax and the Dodgers. Koufax, who finished with a four-hitter and nine strike, outs, lost his sixth against 18 victories. Two of the hits were by Miamian Woody Woodward, whose second rap tipped off Maury Wills' glove and sent pinchrunner Ty Cline to third in the eighth inning, setting up a golden opportunity for Atlanta. Then catcher John Roseboro caught Cline leaning the wrong way and picked him off third.

It took another inning for Ed Mathews to hit a homer and end the 4 hour, 24-minute lar treatments in June." Much earlie, by putting him on the lift of expendables, the Chargers had released the 24-year-old cornerback. "Fear had nothing to do with it," said Westmoreland. "I was wounded, but it didn't seem like they wanted to believe it." After yesterday's workout, Dolphin Coach George Wilson announced that Willie West would move into the starting defensive backfield against Kansas City, with Rick Casares scheduled to start at fullback.

After the rain, Hitchcock watched his outfielders trot through puddles catching fly balls to preserve the no-hit bid.

Then, in the eighth inning, Jim Lefebvre ended the spell with a leadoff homer, tying the score. After Lefebvre's homer, Koufax doubled with two out in the Dodger eighth but was stranded. Tommy Davis' two-out single in the ninth was the only other hit off Lemaster, who struck out 10 and pulled his record to 10-8. Elsewhere in the National League, first place Pittsburgh shaded the New York Mcts 2-1, Cincinnati edged San Francisco 3-2, St. Louis downed Philadelphia 3-2 and Houston stopped Chicago 8- 5.

Vada Pinson singled home relief pitcher Sammy Ellis with the winning run in the seventh innin? for the Reds against the Giants. Pinson, who had raced home from first on Willie Mays' error in the first inning, delivered against Bob Bolin after Ellis singled and Tommy Harper walked. The loss dropped the Giants a full game back of the Pirates. Larry Jaster allowed just two infield singles over the first eight innings against the Phillies but needed help from Nelson Briles to nail down St.

The 48-year-old Bragan, who was in his fourth season with the Braves, said: "Nobody likes to be fired, but this was no surprise. Nobody ever treated me any better than the Braves, although our ex-periencein Milwaukee and Atlanta was a stormy one." Hitchcock, 50, managed toe Baltimore Orioles in 1962 and 1963.
