10 Oneonta Star Friday, 18, 1964 Listless Giants Off Day or Off Year? By Jimmy Cannon It was all very simple. But it worked for the Giants on most Sundays until last weekend. The defense hold the other people. The runners were stopped. The quarterback was bothered the receivers were jostled out from under the passes.

The defense would force the other people to kick and turn the ball over to Y. A. Tittle. It was up to him then and (hey won three consecutive Eastern championships because he threw it where they could catch it. But Sunday it all broke down.

The Eagles beat them. 38-7, and people wondered if tin's was the end of them as a team that some how scrambled into the play-offs. They look like they're going in the opposite direction. It was all bad. There was nothing about them that can be praised.

They seemed listless and indifferent. As the Eagles raged at them with an insolence which marred their poise. THE GIANTS are a team accustomed to respect. The Eagles, who are a mediocre club, handled them with a violent arrogance. But you have to give Allie Sherman a couple of weeks before you make up your mind.

Any coacli who choreographed three titles for his team is entitled to some time to put them together again. No one in sports ever had a harder job. He, like Al Lopez, who man- pged (he White Sox, never coached a club that could do much. But consistently has made the small moves that confused teams with more ability. This was often done in the dressing room during the intermission between halves.

He has a feel far this team that has been spectacular. It would seem to be a minor adjustment. A guy would be replaced or come up a couple of steps or cut in opposite direction. Frequently, these unanticipated alterations would make an old play appear to be a new one. But now you must speculate if time is his ally.

The clock may have defeated Allie Sherman who has beaten it so oflen. He has so much to change it may come too late even if he gets it right. If he can't figure it out, no one can. Seldom has a coach gotten more out of a ball club. It is a team with many defects but he temporarily repaired them in past autumns.

It was embarrassing the way (he Eagles' defensive unit pushed Tittle around. The Eagles came in a contemptuous blitz at Tittle. They ran through the guys up front as if they were on hinges and swinging open to let them through. Once they were past the line, they a little opposition. The i a backs, Joe Morrison and Dick Susquenango Grid Outlook Sidney Rated Near Top Windsor's Black Knights may yet have a word to say about ithe Susquenango Associa i football championship i very private province in an unbeaten, untied and uns upon 1963 season) but Sidn coacli Bob Zegler feels his title chances are "in the Cards." If Zegler's backfield i squad can get toy Newark Valley's powerful Cardinals in their opener Saturday night, (8 p.m.), the Warriors might well go all the way.

Last year, NV a Sidney tied for second behind Windsor, each posting 5-2 records. Despite Sidney's strong Windsor is no pushover. Knights lost seven starters, but still have power running backs Al Klumpp and Tom McN a i r. Speedy Bob Gaeta, Sus 220-yard sprint champion, looks like a sure starter either in the backfield or at end, and brother Mike also rates a starting nod somewhere. Newark Valley must replace all-Sus quarterback Dick t- diuk.

But a big line and fancy runners Doug Knickerbock and Gary O'Krepkie will make NV a tough rival and a certain contender. Greene's defensive prow should keep opponents honest, while Whitney Point must replace a flock of talented starters. Chenango Forks, next to last in 1963, could drop lower despite some size up front. Things can't get much worse at cither Walton or Delhi and probably won't. Walton's Wendall Spear rates his team as "very while Ed Shal- kcy logically feels the only way his Delaware Academy eleven can go is up.

Hero's a quick look at Sidney, raled a real shot at the Sus title, and Walton and Delhi, who could prove the league's spoilers. WALTON If Ihe Warriors Nine Lettermen Boost Hopes for Cooperstown COOPERSTOWN --Ted Kant- oroski may have a good reason to be happy.

Minor League Plaofls International League Semifinals Buffalo 4 (Syracuse leads bcst-of-7 scries 3-2) shape up to their pro season showing, Coach Wendall Spear will be pleased. "We're much father ahead at this point than we've ever been," he says. "Both the offense and defense look good." Walton has 18 lettermen returning, led by co captains Craig DuMond, a 190 pound senior tackle, and Pat Flannigan, senior left end. Spear will rely on quarterback Fred Russell lo take charge.

Russell, a senior, was switched from half back to the signal calling slot this year. The defense will be led by Ed Stanton, a 2SO middle guard whom Spear says moves extremely well for his size. Shaping up the league, Spear says, "It's quite balanced. Sidney is the cream of the crop. But the rest is dog-eat-dog.

I figure we should end up somewhere in the middle." Spear thinks 'the Warriors will improve on their 1-6 record of last year. Walton opens at home tonight against Chenango Forks.

I think Sidney a Windsor arc the teams to beat." Delhi opens Salurday a Greene. SIDNEY Coach Bob Zcg- ler has high hopes for his 1964 Warriors, but realizes could be partially dashed Saturday night. That's when powerful Newark Valley invades Sidney, in only the third night game in school's history. If the a r- riors can get by NV's big line and flashy runners Knickerbocker and O'Krepkie, il could be clear sailing to Ihe Susquen- ango title. Zegler's backfield returned intact from last year, but has been re-shuffled by an injury and the fine showing of a pair of transfers.

With regular center Terry Dermody out for at least one game with a leg infection, Noel Kobia has shifted from tackle to offense center and Bill Bagley has moved into Kobia's tackle spot. Taking over for Bagley a guard is Dave Hollister. a two- year letterman at fullback. The new baekfield line up Tom Price a sure starter a quarterback, either Tom Osier- wald or rookie Reggie McC at fullback, and Gary Torino. Murphy Moore, Claude a and Payne all fighting for the two halfback slots.

If it's "what's up front that counis," Sidney's prospects are still a hit iffy. But based on backfield speed and depth, the Warriors look as good as any team in the league. Yanks Beat Angels, 6-2; Regain Lead Stottlemyre, Rational Amateur Golf Weekend James are too small to block. They brushed past the backs and engulfed Tittle, knocking him down immediately or chasing him until they caught him. The Giant offensive line seemed paralyzed.

It was as if the viciously rapid posse stunned them before they were hit. They didn't charge, as offensive linemen are supposed to do. Even when Tittle had space and time to do his number, he had difficulty locating his receivers and four limes he fumbled the ball. He didn't help them and any Sunday he is off, they are going to lose. OF COURSE, Del Shofner was laid up.

That's Tittle's a The other people can cheat on the other receivers when Shofner isn't on the field, and tightens them up with his presence. It was more than not having Shofner to throw to. They had Tittle on his rump a lot of limes. But even when he was unmolested, Tittle seemed n- certain. He bas been doing il a long while.

The years bother a man of his 38 years as much as the line backers. It could be Ihe season when it all catches up to him. You can't bury Y. A. Tittle because of one game.

But Sherman has to think about it. If it's Irue, Ihe Giants are in the kind of trouble that i drown them. vs. Youth In Semifinals Footb NEW YORK (AP) The New York Yankees slipped into first place in the American League by two percentage poinls Thursday night, defealing the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 behind the pitching of Mel Stottlemyre and Roland Sheldon. The Yankees, who have won 10 of their last 13 games, moved ahead of the idle Baltimore and Chicago White Sox, who now are tied for second.

It marked the first time since Aug. 6 that the Yankees held the lead. Their percenlage is .593, the runnera-up .591. Stottlemyre, a right-handed rookie, had allowed only one hit a bunt single by Bob Rodgers in the fifth until the seventh inning. Then the Angels rapped four singles by Willie Smilh, Jim Fregosi, Lou Clinton and Rodgers for two runs with one out.

When Stottlemyre walked Tom Satriano on four straight pitches, loading the bases, Manager Yogi Berra brought on Sheldon. Sheldon promptly struck out pinch hitter Ed Kirkpatrick and got pinch niter Felix Torres to hit into an inning-ending force play. The reliever stopped the Angels the rest of the way, preserving Slolllemyre's sevenlh victory against two defeats. Mickey Manlle led the Yankee attack with three hiis, Iwo runs balled in and Ihree runs scored. His second hit, a sixth-inning single, was the hit of his major league career, making him the fifth Yankee lo reach plateau.

(Dorm) Braman said Thursday the local "Citizens' Committee for Major League Baseball" is negotiating directly with Ihe ownership of the Cleveland Indians for the transfer of that American League franchise to Seattle. "I want to confirm a badly kept secret," the mayor told a news conference. "For some time now we have kept a promise of anonymity to owners with whom we are negotiating to move to Seattle beginning with Ihe 1965 season. Today we have been given permission from these owners lo reveal this. "The franchise belongs to the Cleveland Indians baseball club.

"We must emphasize," the mayor added, "there has been no firm commitment by the Cleveland Indians baseball club in regard to a permanent Seattle relocation." Golf Winners Kay Irwin, Fran Solov i Peg Gould and Jane Huyer won the "blind hole" tournament at the Women's Golf Associat i gold day at Oneonta Coun Club Thursday. Mildred Sands and Helen Bartlett were hostesses. CLEVELAND (AP) Bill Campbell and Ed Tutwiler, two aging codgers who have dominated West Virginia golf for 20 years, survived exciling overtime duels and went into the semifinals of the National Ama- leur Championship Thursday against a pair of scrawny collegians from Texas. Campbell, 41, former Walker Cup captain playing in this tournament for the 21st time, will meet Mark Hopkins, a 21-year- old University of Houston junior from Texas City in one 36-hole match Friday. Tutwiler, a 43- year-old car dealer will face Dave Eichelberger, 21-year-old Oklahoma State student from Waco, Tex.

These four were survivors of a double round of eliminations played over the Canterbury Club course in clear, crisp weather. The 36-hole finals are set for Saturday. Campbell, a tall Princelonian Few Easy Pickings In Football Openers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Southern California and Colorado kick off the first big weekend of the 1964 college football season Friday night and that's one game in which the favorite seems fairly safe. Southern Cal has lost three important men from the team that was No. 1 in the nation in 1962 but only second in the Athletic Association of Western Conference in 1963.

Still the Trojans are lisled as strong favorites. Cannon Boom Or Bane To Oakland? By the Associated Press Pro football fans may find the answers Saturday night to two big questions raised by the season's opening games last weekend: Was that pass defense the Los Angeles Rams showed against Pittsburgh the real thing? And how much can Billy Cannon help the Oakland Raiders. One Salurday night game is scheduled in each of football's big leagues. The Rams, whose pass defense hardly was nolable in the 1963 National Football League campaign, meet the rugged Detroit Lions at Los Angeles and the Raiders, one of the American Football League's surprises last season, play the Oilers at Houston. The NFL has a Sunday program headed by a clash between the high-flying Minnesota Vikings and the defending champion Chicago Bears at Minnesota.

Other games are St. Louis at Cleveland, Baltimore at Green Bay, San Francisco at Philadelphia, New York at Pittsburgh and Washington at Dallas. In the AFL, the Boslon Patriots and San Diego Chargers meet at San Diego in a replay of last season's championship game and Denver plays at Buffalo. New York and Kansas City have the weekend off. Los Angeles intercepted five passes in its opening 26-14 victo- ory over Steelers, running them back 138 yards, and smeared Pittsburgh passers seven times for total losses of 63 yards.

Detroit's Milt Plum could be harder to handle. He completed 15 of 34 for 234 yards in beating San Francisco 26-17 and wasn't dropped once. Cannon, a $100,000 bench- warmer through much of his career with the Houston Oilers, didn't join Oakland until a few days before the opening game. He ran only a few times as the Raiders dropped a 17-14 decision to Boston but made some good yardage.

Colorado graduated only five men from last year's team, which had a 28 record, but still is depending heavily on sophomores. By contrast, the Saturday program -is loaded with the kind of games 'that make you wonder whatever became of early-season breathers. Some examples: Navy at Penn State, Oregon State at Northwestern, Oklahoma at Maryland, Southern Methodist at Florida, Duke at South Carolina, Missouri at California, Stanford at Washington State and Texas Christian at Kansas. The week's regional television games are Navy-Penn State, SMU-Florida, Kansas State at Wisconsin and Stanford at Washington State.

According to the heavyweight titleholder, it was unworthy of him-- a halo would have been more appropriate.

Either forgetting or ignoring his recent promise not to pop off, the loquacious one predicted a long reign for himself and eventual retireme'nt as "the undefeated, untarnished and still the prettiest" heavyweight champion of them all. "I'm the most popular fighter who ever lived," he said, "and getting more popular every day. And I haven't even defended my title yet. Imagine, after I hold the title four years, no 10, I'll be so popular the people will demand I run for president of the United States." The ceremonies, which took place in the office of Ring Magazine with editor Nat Fleischer making the presentation, began seriously enough. Clay accepted the belt graciously and posed for photographers and television cameras with the adornment first round his waist, then across his shoulders.
