The little guy in shell is 2,000 meters, a good crew should win either." "That's the only philosophy we have to win," Bob said. "When you lose, you must give up your shirts to the winner," he added. "We hate like anything to give them up." A tossed coxswain symbol of victory into Lake Onondaga would be a much better both losing for the first time this year to Washington at the Western Sprints. "That was a big letdown for us at the sprints," said Bob. "But, we've rallied and hope to win back there." Neither Bob nor Doug feels that the three-mile IRA distance is an advantage.

There will be 12 jayvee boats competing over three miles and 12 crews in the two-mile freshmen race.

Jim Lemmon, the California coach, said he favored the three-mile race over the sprint distances. 'Three miles is a good test of -crew its oarsmanship and condition," he said. "This race is a tremendous tradition, certainly the ultimate in an pars- man's season." Lemmon does not concede the Big Red anything. "Cornell is the Eastern favor ite and this is only logical," he said. "But we don't take crews back East unless we feel we can win."

Ace Juan Marichal will pitch the opener Tuesday night and if Franks doesnt want to gamble on Murakami he could bring back Perry, for the third game on Thursday. But then who would he have ready to pitch the opener of the Met series when the Giants return to Candlestick next Fri day? The lowly Mets are still lowly but in their last visit to San Francisco they took three of the four games from the Candle-stickers in their own park, Jose Pagan, the former Giant who was traded to Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago for Dick Schofield, may have put his finger on his former clubs problems when he asked about his friend, Orlando Ce-peda'g knee." Told that he was still on the disabled list and nobody seemed to know when he would be ready to play, Pagan replied: "I think they need Orlando. "Willie McCovey's been doing a good job for them at first," he added, "but they still need Orlando's bat." Pagan is his usual smiling self with the Pirates, although he has been used almost exclusively as a defensive replacement for third baseman Bob Bailey when the Bucs are ahead, which they usually are lately. In winning 19 of their last 21 games they have averaged a little more than seven runs per game. "We make lots of runs and gets lots of hits, said Pagan.

That's why I say I think the Giants need Orlando Bragan Raps Booing by Braves7 Fans ST. LOUIS Bobby Bra gan, manager of the Atlanta-bound Milwaukee Braves, said Saturday that crowds were so sDarse in Milwaukee "they ought to give the player who hits a fan with a foul ball a home run." Bragan made the comment in a KMOX radio interview at St Louis. The Braves are scheduled to move to Atlanta next year and are currently holding down second place in the National League. The Braves manager said the fans booed him every time he stepped on the playing field at Milwaukee County Stadium. Td rather be booed by 20,000 than the 2,000 who boo me at Milwaukee," said Bragan.

But, he said the ball park would be full i fthe Braves win the pennant, and he picked the Cincinnati Reds as the team to beat. Bragan said Los Angeles and Cincinnati had speed and pitching "but the Dodgers don't scare you like the Reds do with that power."

Giants face. the Pirates and veteran Vernon Law (4-5) in the finale of the series at Forbes Field this afternoon. But after rookie Bill Hands was bombed the second time Friday night, this time in the first inning, there may be some changes made in the starting alignment when the Giants move to Los Angeles for three games with the Dodgers.

Manager Herman Franks is considering taking' Masanori Murakami out of the bull pen and giving him a starting role. Lynda Will Accept Bid By Waves 1 Lynda Bradshaw, national girls sprint champion who grad-j" uated Friday night from Castle-j mont High, has now received a second college scholarship offer to continue her track prowess, aiming for 1968 Olympic Games competition. Pepperdine College in Los Angeles, linked with the Los Angeles Mercurettes Track Club in the scholarship offer is the.sec-ond school with a track progranf interested in the 18 -year -old sprinter. Linda has indicated that she will accept the Pepperdine offer. Previously she was weighing an offer from Tennessee State.

Fred Jones, coach of the Mercurettes, notified Lynda this week that she is one of five girls to whom a scholarship offer is being made for studies at Pepperdine. A straight-B student who has heretofore concentrated on the sprints, Lynda recently developed potential as a hurdler and long-jumper. The Pepperdine program, as outlined to Lynda, includes a collegiate scholarship joined with competitive membership with the Mercurettes, running in women's AAU competition. Jones said that others who have been offered the unusual schooklub scholarships include Janell Smith of Kansas, American 440 record holder; Marilyn White and Diana Wilson of Los Angeles, sprinters, and Lynn Graham of Los Angeles, shot putter.

Marzich hammered out a 278 game to finish off with a 1315 block and a 3982 pmfall for 18 games. BobStrampe of Detroit had the day's highest block, however, a 1325, and moved up second place with 3922. The field faced six more games of qualifying Saturday night, to determine the 16 final-; fsts who will bowl Sunday for the top $3,000 I largely misunderstood, say the two men judged best in this role at the University of California, -Bob Arbios and Doug Shirachi, who enplaned with the Cal varsity and junior varsity crews today for Syracuse and next Saturday's IRA Regatta, declare a coxswain actually has multiple duties. Namely: Den mother cheer leader, first sergeant, psychologist, waiter and seeing-eye dog.

"When were in the water, they're blind without us," Bob and Doug agree. "Somebody has to take command and we're it." One big advantage about being a leader, they admit, is that "in the middle of the estuary no one can get back at you." When the coswwain gets into the shell, he must take control. Not only does he help set the stroke pulse and keep the craft in a straight line, but he'll try to steal the beat from the boat along side. Outside the shell, his job con tinues. He instills team morale and dedication.

He must know how to approach each individual psychologically without injuring. And when traveling, be is re sponsible for team conduct and bed hours. This is an overloading job for sub-130 pounders like Bob and Doug, the only featherweights in a company of heavyweights. But, their weights are tripled in the respect held them. "It's been a long season for these two guys," said coach Jim Lemmon.

"But, they've come on to do one heckuva job." The team feels the same way and constantly shows its "appreciation" by stealing their food. "We don't want you getting too fat, you'll weigh down the boat," stress their teammates. Bob and Doug say it's not difficult to order around bigger men, "if they respect you." "You've got to level with these guys right from the start," says Doug, a junior. If they give you gas, give it right back." Bob, only a sophomore, points out. "getting to work for a cox swain is a gradual thing.

It's all a sense of trust. They may not believe in everything you tell them, but if they trust you, you're in." Both Bob, who'll direct the varsity at Syracuse and Doug feel that whatever separateness there is first is later replaced by cohesiveness. What one crew man feels, they all feeL In fact some of the regular oarsmen have in turn inspired the coxswaini. At Washington, a freshman cox found senior Malcolm Thorn-ley sitting on a log wearing a mean look. When the frosh asked what's wrong, Thornley snorted, "I hate Washington."

"The more I coached the more I became convinced that the mind, the will, the determination, the mental approach to competition are of the utmost importance. Yes, perhaps even more than the improvements in form and technique. The 'Little Men' "All of us have seen men of average ability who strive to be something other than average succeed in athletics.

"We have seen it in other walks of life as well. We coaches don't understand it as-yet. Nor am I certain the psychologists do. But this motivating power of the mind is a force we all reckon with and a power which all coaches, directly or indirectly, try to direct." Hamilton says coaches should study the form of the champions, "yet we should not neglect the pluggers, those men who will never reach championship or world class. "Most of the athletes we coach are in this latter class.

And it is these 'little those also-rans wha are the backbone of track and field. "It is they who have sustained the sport; it is they who will keep it alive for future generations with the help, of course, of their tall brothers, the champions and record-holders." -And with the encouragement of men such as Brutus Hamilton.
