-Wilson, if youTecall, is the 6-4, 262-pound tackle whouwent back to school and played his last, year of football after signing a Boston Patriot contract. It might've been better all around if he hadn't. Nobody Told the Coach Somehow big Jim didn't think it was an important out of the Chargers' training camp Sunday by coach Sid Gillman. Faison said he's "harboring thoughts" about jumping to the National League if he plays out his option year, and said a "general exodus" of five or six more players might ensue, Ladd, Faison and other play ers loosed well-timed blasts at life in Saa Diego uniforms in a rapid-sequence series of Inter views with some 30 touring sportswriteri visiting all the American Football League training camps. Involved in contract negotia tions with Gillman, the players used the "AFL Skywriters Tour" as a sounding board.

Gillman bounced Ladd later, after an afternoon practice field altercation with the big tackle. The possibility exists that Ladd will be traded he'd like to go to Housfon, he said, or Oaklandbut he isn't signed to a contract and Gillman indicated he's in no hurry to lift the suspension until Ladd is ready to talk terms. Ladd says he won't sign for what Sid has offered.

Were the Yanks too compla cent and over-confident, as suggested by Russian Coach Gabriel Korobkov and seconded by high-ranking U.S.officials?

Or w3s it simply a case of bad luck mushrooming injuries that felled some" of the best of the 'American athletes in the midst the crucial meet? The Russians scored a sweep, winning both tne. men and women competition for tne first time since the series was started in 1958. It marked the first time American men track and field stars had ever lost a meet of this kind.

1 Jet Airlift For Dzura -And Cast BRISBANE, Australia (AP) Stap Dzura, the University of California football player who was injured in an auto accident here July 9, will be placed in a special plaster cast so he can make the flight back to San Franscisco Aug. 14. Doctors said Monday they plan to fit him in thecast so he can travel in a jet. He will need the space of three passengers but Qantas Airline will charge only a single fare and supply a nurse to look after him. Doctors said they expect him to be able to play football again next year.

enough step to tell to his college coach, and neither did the Patriots. Not only did this raise heck in the conference and bringlout the NCAA brass in full force, it allowed the National Football League to stand up lily white and scold the sneaky AFL while the 49ers were signing Wiorito a second contract ssius, as they say in court, the issue was joined, -On the face of it, the Wilson case might appear to be just another fairly simple beef over a double-signed athlete, another law suit in which a judge will besked to decide if a repudiated first contract shall stand in the face of a better second one. Bufthis is better than just any old court This one could give another fascinating glimpse into pro football's jungle infighting through a quick-opening crack. If one is perceptive, he may get a hint ot the groin-kicking and eye-gouging which go on in pro fighting over collegiate talent. It's great bloody fun.

'L Head coacn Al Davis was pleased that his defense had done so well, but unhappy with an offense that had considerable difficulty moving the ball. And when touchdown passes were on target, they were dropped. The offense ran about 80 plays during the long afternoon ses sion, with quarterback Tom Flores getting the lion's share of activity, followed by Dick Wood, and, for about 15 plays near the end, Lee Grosscup.

Davis matched his first offen- opening of the scrimmage. The defenders quickly asserted themselves. On the very first plays, Flores was tagged for consecutive losses of two and five yards, But then he unloaded a 21-yard- er to tight end Fred Gillett for a first down.

Ball-Carriers Comfort to 49ers' QBs By BILLpUNBAR Having some ball packers around who can pick up the big yards when they are needed may convince quarterback John Brodie that the 49ers won't have to count solely on his passing arm this season. Recalling, the dismal San Francisco ground attack last season, Brodie must be sighing in relief today when he thinks of the men he can call on to pack the ball this season. If Saturday's scrimmage at Miramonte High School is any indication, of what the 49ers will be unleashing against their Na tional Football League foes, it is going toTbe a pleasanfchange from what we saw during the 1964 season. The big man, without a doubt, was halfback John David Crow, the formen St Louis Cardinal who ucame to the 49ers in the trade for defensive back Abe Woodson. "It will give a team a lot of confidence when the quarterbackt can hand the ball off to backs they know can run for yardage," coach Jack Cfiristiansen remarked yesterday.
