Both teams entered the final event with 44 points. The Port Clinton foursome edged Ross relay delegation by 2.8 seconds. The Redskins were timed in 3:52. "Basically, our lack of depth is what hurt us," Ross head coach Ron Zwierlein said. "In the two relay events we couldn't use our best men.

We had to use them in other events to gain points. "But, we did have bright spots. Pat Aten and Eric Bristley won two events apiece. Andy Christensen, was only 10 points off the pool record in winning the diving. He competed with a sprained ankle.

I I I fLL LI Ramsey Will 'Be All Right9 Eagle Captain Shot By 'Acquaintance' He's 'Mean As They Come9 Overmyer Called 4 Ashland's Best' SPECIAL TO NEWS-MESSENGER ASHLAND The football season came to a glorious close for Bill Overmyer of Fremont when he was named Ashland College's "best defensive lineman" at its annual football banquet. Overmyer, a Fremont St. Joseph graduate, opened the season at defensive end where he roughly convinced opponents to run on the other side of the field. He averaged 12 tackles a game. Then the Eagles developed some weak spots on the forward wall.

Overmyer got the call to move to defensive tackle where he performed with signs of greatness. Coach Fred Martinelli said, "Bill is as mean as they come on the football field. I don't know what we would have done if we didn't have him. He could very well develop into our greatest defensive lineman in many, many years." The 6-2 and 225-pound junior ended up with 107 tackles this season, third best on the club. Overmyer led the Ashland charge at the end of the season which saw the club defeat Stagg Bowl champion Capital University, 20-12, nearly upset nationally ranked and undefeated Wittenberg University, 14-6, and dropped once-beaten College of Wooster, 35-0.

Miami's Appeal Of Super Bowl Blackout Fails MIAMI (AP) The attorney's game plan called for outflanking the NFL's Super Bowl television blackout for the Miami area in federal court. But it was a busted play. The ref charged the offense with illegal motion.

Cabot Monday upheld a motion boj Christensen, a junior, tallied 212.35 points in the diving competition. Port Clinton's Steve Wylie was second and Charlie Vandergrift of Ross took third place honors.

James Lavin said detectives believe Ramsey "might have known" the assailant "from seeing him around." Lavin said Ramsey had been interviewed by police, but that he didn't know why he had been shot. Lavin said there were many witnesses to the shooting, which occurred on a busy street, but that police had not talked to all of them yet. "There is no indication this was involved with football," Lavin said.

Hartack won the national riding championship four times, scoring 455 victories in 1955, 347 in 1956, 341 in 1957 and 307 in 1960. Hartack was taken by ambulance from the track to the weigh-in station and then went to the track infirmary. His in juries were not serious, but he did not attend a presentation ceremony.

MIAMI (AP) Not even a collision with the starting gate could keep jockey Bill Hartack from his victory. Hartack ignored his injured side and brought Roart from last to first place at Tropical Park before tumbling from the saddle after the finish. The victory Monday made the controversial 38-year-old jockey the fifth American in racing history to pass the 4,000 mark. Hartack, who rode his first winner at Waterford Park in 1952, bruised his side and leg when Roart banged him into the gate at the start of the six furlong seventh race. He urged the horse past everything on the homestretch, then was thrown as his side knotted up with pain after he passed under the wire.

America's other jockeys are Bill Shoemaker, Johnny Longden, Eddie Arcaro, 4,779, and Steve Brooks, 4,447. England's Sir Gordon Richards won more than 4,000 races in Europe.

Clyde St. Marys Cagers Take Two Washington township school's basketball teams were in action again, meeting Clyde St. Marys on the latter's hardwood. Clyde won the seventh grade game 19-13, Fultz being tops for the winners with 15 points; Barber for Lindsey with six. In the eighth grade game Clyde won 33-21, Meyers getting nine points for the winners, Smith getting eight for Lindsey.

Sample Raps Blacklisting Ex-Gridder Says Jurors Should Indict Rozelle if i PHILADELPHIA (AP) Police spokesmen say they are following "some pretty firm leads" in connection with the shooting of Nate Ramsey, star defensive back for the Philadelphia Eagles. Ramsey, 29, is the National League football team's defensive captain. He was shot Monday afternoon as he walked toward a West Philadelphia tavern to meet a friend.

Police said there was no connection between the unidentified friend and the leads they were following. Doctors said the bullet grazed a rib but apparently caused no serious internal damage. However, the player's condition was described as "serious" by a Misericordia Hospital spokesman. Tongue And Lip Slashes Quiet Bengals' Star CINCINNATI (AP) "It hurts too much to talk" so quarterback Virgil Carter plans some very quiet practices this week as the Cincinnati Bengals prepare for their final game against the Boston Patriots and a chance to clinch the American Football Conference Central Division title. "I'll try not to talk today," said Carter, whose tongue was badly cut Sunday in the Cincin-ati 30-20 victory over the Houston Oilers.

"If the swelling goes down by Thursday I can talk a little but no yelling audibles. It hurts too much. I'll just have to wait and see how it works out." Carter took a forearm shot from linebacker Ron Pritchard on a blitz during the second period and had to leave the game. Carter said he was unable to talk because the tongue and lip were cut so badly. Four stitches were taken in the tongue in the locker room and Carter returned in the third period to lead the 24-point scoring spree.

"I was able to call plays all right until about four minutes to go. I asked the doctor for something because it hurt so bad. It made me kind of numb but it was enough to finish." Fortunately, he said, the plays come in from Coach Paul Brown and he didn't have to hold discussions in the huddle. Later in the game Pritchard nailed Carter again, then apologized for hitting him earlier. "I thought that was very nice.

In fact he had his hands ready to lay it to me again but he just pushed me down. "He said he didn't try to get me with a cheap shot. He was just doing his job. I can't blame him. "If I was a defensive lineman playing against a quarterback who likes to roll out of the pocket a lot I guess I'd do the same thing.

"It's really unusual in pro football for somebody to apologize though, it was very nice. "I know Ron from Arizona State. I played against him a lot at Brigham Young. He is a very good football player."

The Junior high team opens its regular season on January 6 IS of his Bachelors Three night spot last year, saying, "I think he (Namath) will be very helpful if he is called in." Sample said he "talked a little" to the jury about the sale and said, "He (Namath) didn't do anything wrong and they didn't have evidence he did anything wrong." Sample charged that Rozelle told Namath to "sell out or not' play football any more." "The control they (Rozelle and owners) think they have over them (players) puts fear in the ball players," Sample said. Sample, who retired from the New York Jets after the 1969 College All-Star game because CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) A federal grand jury investigation into possible antitrust violations in the National Football League continues today following testimony from retired all-pro defensive back John Sample. Sample told newsmen after appearing before the jury Monday that if anyone is indicted, it should be NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. He said he told the jury of alleged blackballing practices, racial discrimination and the league's "stranglehold" on players.

Sample said he thought New York Jets quarterback Joe Na-math should be called before the jury in regard to the selling 2 IS. 6 2 Bostonians of a back injury, said "blackballing was 50 per cent" of the subject of the jury's questions to him and that he thought the jury's probe was headed in the direction of blackballing. Sample called blackballing "a violation" of a player's constitutional rights. He said he knows he was blackballed from the NFL after the 1965 season with the Washington Redskins "cause I was told." He also maintained that there was still discrimination in the form of "quota system," in which some clubs limit the number of blacks on the roster. The 33-year-old restaurateur and ticket agency owner in Philadelphia said he thinks the jury is probing "all 26 teams in the NFL today," not just the affairs of the older National Football League teams.
