14 TtM togrctt-litdcx, Tuesday, September 8, 1964 Man Who Tackled Roy Riegels Gives Vivid Accounf Of Game By MURRAY OLDERMAN Newspaper Enterprise Assn. NEW YORK Anybody the least bit concerned with football lore knows that Roy Riegels once ran 80 yards the wrong way with a recovered fumble and thereby cost the University of California the Rose Bowl game of Jan. 1, 1929. He might even know Benny Lorn was the name of the swift California halfback who chased Roy downfield, caught and turned him around at the goal line--just in time to get clobbered by a' Georgia Tech horde. But who can name the man who tackled Riegels? Vance Maree sounds like a bit of ol' New Orleans but is really south Georgia drawl.

He is a big, solid businessman with shiny skin where there used to be wavy hair, and he was in the middle of the Riegels episode, a classis blooper of American sports along with Fred Merkle's failure to touch second base. Vance dumped Riegels inglor- lously and then burst through the Cal line on the next play to block an end zone punt for the safety which gave Georgia Tech an 8-7 victory. If there had been any compassion in Vance's 18-year-ol3 soul on that afternoon some 35 years ago, Roy Riegels wouldn't be still grinning at bad gags about going the wrong way. Vance was in town the other day for board duties with international Quality Courts and stopped long enough to reveal interesting details on the historical old blunder. "Riegels was not dazed when he caught the ball," said Maree.

"He was never touched. "We were on our own 20-yard line just before the half. Stumpy Thomason carried on an off- tackle play and fumbled in the air. Riegels grabbed it and headed for the sideline. Then he turned and made a complete circle.

He started the other way. "I was' coming across from the other side of the field and was immediately aware of what happened. I guess we were the only ones in the whole arena conscious of the fact. "He ran right by me on the 30-yard line, close as I'm sitting here to you." Vance reached out and touched my shoulder. "But I wasn't going to stop him," he continued.

"Lorn could have. Riegels ran past him. Lorn was hollering instead of trying to catch him. You can't run and holler at the same time." By the time Benny started the chase, the procession downfield looked like Hannibal's legions. "Riegels got right to the goal line," remembered Maree, "before Lorn reached him.

Then when he got him turned around, he stepped aside neat as you please. Frank Waddey, our left end, was there with me on the welcoming committee. "Yep, Riegels was in a daze --after he was hit. He was practically undressed." Riegels left the game. Maree blocked the ensuing punt by Lorn for a safety and a 2-0 halftime lead.

"Riegels played the whole last half," he recalled, "and played a terrific game." On that day Maree was an 18-year-old sophomore tackle. He played two more varsity years and in 1930 was an All-American. He is on the all-time Georgia Tech team. Vance refereed in the. Southeastern Conference for a short time, but that has been his only football connection since college.

He was in on the motel boom after World War II and has his own hostelry in the Atlanta area. He has never again met Rie- gels, who lives in northern California. "But I guess I know how he felt," said Maree. "That winter I was standing guard on the Tech basketball team. Late in a game, a fellow took a shot and I went up to block it.

It tipped off my fingers--into the other team's basket." Vance Maree then Vance Maree and now Pro Charts -BY TSTURRAV OU52RMAN- Chisox Have 20 Left Soys Lopez WASHINGTON (AP) "It hurt, but we still have 20 games to play. This didn't win or lose anything." Manager Al Lopez was trying to look on the bright side after his Chicago White Sox lost a doubleheader Monday to Washington, 3-0 and 6-2, and skidded out of first place in the American League. The White Sox are entangled in a hot three-team pennant contest with Baltimore and New York. "Sure it'i a lough race," Lopez said. "I've been saying that right along.

You can't tell when somebody's going to get hot. "And they (the Senators) svere about due to get hot. They got shut out four straight and then lost a tough one Sunday. I just hope they can stay hot." The Baltimore Orioles, leading Chicago by one-half game, come to Washington Wednesday night for a twi-night doubleheader and a single game Thursday night. Manager Gil Hodges will use his top winners, Claude Osteen and Buster Narum against the Orioles Wednesday night.

Tragedy Leaves Mark On Bears, Offense Is Having Trouble Coming Ouf Of Daze By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer RENSSELAER, Ind. (AP) Fate struck a cruel blow at the champion Chicago Bears when Willie Galimore and John Farrington were killed in a tragic auto accident in the early days of their training season at St. Joseph's College. The Bears have been slow to come out of the daze. Except for a brief flurry against the College All-Stars, the offense has been most disappointing in the exhibition games.

"We have not come along as good as we hoped," said George Halas, the 69-year-old owner- coach and National Football League pioneer. "The loss of Galimore and Farrington was a tremendous shock to all of us. It left a gaping hole in our offense." Galimore, handicapped both knees, who had been by operations on had come back strong as a running back in late season. Farrington was a talented pass-catching end. In an effort to close the gap, Halas traded with Los Angeles for the veteran halfback Jon Arnett, giving up Roger Davis and two rookies.

Arnett, unhap- py as an end with the Rams, welcomed the deal. Although Halas had hoped to open up the offense this year after winning the title strictly on defense the attack has been slow to jell. Most likely, it will be Bill Wade again nursing along a sputtering ball-control game, counting on that ball- hungry defense to carry the heavy load. "Our main objective is to win," said Halas. "We're not going to open up just because some people thought our attack was a bit modest.

But we might open up more if they start crowding us." Wade is the Bears' quarterback, a 34-year-old veteran of 11 NFL seasons. Rudy Bukich will back him up with his strong right arm. Ron Bull Is the top running back, supported by Arnett and Billy Martin. Joe Marconi is the No. 1 fullback, with help from Rick Casares and Charlie Bivins.

Halas added two receivers in Rich Krietling from Cleveland and Gary Barnes from Dallas to work at split end. Johnny Morris is the flanker. With all-league Mike Ditka at tight end and a fine looking rookie, G-fool-5, 240-pound Bill Martin from Georgia Tech also available, Halas may throw two tight ends at the opposition. Halas is hoping that Dick Evey, the No. 1 draft choice Labor Day Games Attendance Drops By The Associated Press Baseball attendance for the Labor Day program fell below the 200,000 mark and far short of last season's total.

Monday's 18-game program attracted 182,102 fans compared to 222,880 in 1963 for a 19-game schedule. Major League Stars MONDAY'S STARS PITCHING Dtnteli, Senators, pitched hli first complete game In more than two with five-hitter, start- Ing 3-0 and 6-2 doubleheader that dropped the Chicago White Sox out of the Americas League lead. BATTING Roger Marls, Yankees, collected four hits. Including a homer and an llth Inning double that drove in the winning run and gave New York a 5-4 victory over Minnesota. from Tennessee, either a guard or can handle tackle post.

Herman Lee, regular left tackle, is getting along at 32 and may need help. Left guard Ted Karras has been out with injuries, giving Evey a chance to play. Jim Cadiie is the right guard and Bob Wetoska the right tackle. Mike Pyle is the highly regarded center. But it was the defense that did the job for the Bears especially in the championship game with New York.

The defenders intercepted 36 passes and recovered 18 fumbles last season. Big Doug Atkins and Ed 0'- Bradovich are the ends and Sfan Jones and Earl Leggett the tackles. The solid linebacking trio of Joe Fortunafo, Bill George and Larry Morris has a new helper in rookie Mike Reilly of Iowa. The deep defenders of Richie Petitbon and Roosevelt Taylor at safety and Benny McRae and Dave Whitsell on the corners are garded as the best in the league. All this, plus Bobby Joe Green, who has a four-year punting average of 45.7 yards, gives the Bears all the elements necessary for that ball-control play.

Kelso Nears Top Rafmg As Winner By ORLO ROBERTSON Associated Sports Writer Kelso, the Grand Old Man of thoroughbreds, is not ready to abdicate his throne. And with mere $38,738 he can become the world's leading money winning horse. The 7-year-old gelding, four times winner of Horse of the Year honors, was hanging on the ropes until Monday after winning only two minor races in seven starts this year. Then, came the $107,700 Aqueduct Stakes at Aqueduct and another clash with a young upstart named Gun Bow. Gun Bow, a 4-year-old, had won seven stakes this year by as much as 12 lengths and was ready to take over as the boss of the runners.

In one of his victories, the Brooklyn Handicap, he beat Kelso by 14 lengths. But this was the Kelso of old that Gun Bow met in The Aqueduct. The Bohemia Stable ace let his younger rival set most of the pace, caught him with one- quarter-mile remaining and went on to a three-quarter length triumph in the good clocking of 1:48 3-5 for 1V6 miles. Each carried 128 pounds. RUNNING Ron Burton's slowness In rounding into form after last year's back a i has crimped the attack.

a Mike Holovak is high on rookie J. D. Garrett to team with Larry Garrqn as his set backs. Neither is exactly a physical giant, but you won't find a swifter pair anywhere. PASSING All the eggs are dumped into Vito Parilli's basket.

The Ken- lucky Babe, rolling into his 12th season, has to carry the ball in top form for the Pats to make a serious run. Tommy Yewcic mainly punls.B-- RECEIVING Young a a has worked himself into a regular job as split end, which means vets Jim Colclough and Gino Cappelletti i it out for flanker. Tight end is a problem because they could use more than Tony Reomeo and Tom Stephens. Swift Art Snyder has also joined the catching corps. OFFENSIVE LINE Where do they find a tackle? Don Oakes and Bob Schmidt (ex-Houston center) are it right now, with no support.

Much off in middle where rookie Jon Morris has taken over center, flanked by outstanding guards Charley Long and Billy Neighbors. DEFENSIVE I Responsible for the nigged rep of the Patriots, Jesse Richardson and Houston Antwine (All-league) do the job inside, Larry Eisenhauer and Bob Dee give them the outside rush. Vet Dee is getting a strong challenge from rookie find Leonard St. Jean. A-- L1NEBACKING This has been a Pat strong point, too, mainly because of sensational play by Nick Guon- iconti in middle.

Tom Addison is strong guy on strong side; Jackie Rudolph plays the right corner. Until an exhibiton injury, Don McKinnon had been coming on strong as a sub. plus SECONDARY Corps has been jacked up by return to health of Don Webb at left corner back.

In the game in which were eliminated, Carlucci Nineties of Chicago took a 7-6 decision, after the Cavaliers had scored six runs in the first inning. The Cavaliers had men on third with one out In each of the last three innings but couldn't score. Hanzlik had a double and homer in that one. Calvin Wray and David Blaha had two hits each, as the Cavaliers collected 11 hits to 13 for the opposition.

In the Cavaliers' first game, they beat Evansville, 12-10, on an 18-hit had a single, double and two home runs, while Alvin Blaha had a homer. In their second game they lost to tht Triplets of Leaksville, N. 19-6. They stayed pretty even in hitting in this one, but key errors were their Leaksville made it to the quarterfinals. Hanzlik had three for three, and David Blaha had homer.

O'Hanley do good job at safety, will get an assist from Dave Cloutier. SUMMARY The Patriots are, as always, an enigma. On paper, no one can see them. They've added very little rookie help. The whole offense depends on Babe Parilli, who's getting to be an antique.

But they hang together real well, and the defense has developed a remarkable espirit de corps. Big bugaboo is injury. Ashe Wants His Rating On Ability FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (AP) Arthur Ashe Jr. makes the grade as the first Negro to play the Davis Cup Challenge Round for the United States, he wants to do it on his own he asks no special favors.

"I don't want any special concessions because of the color of' my skin," the articulate UCLA senior said today, want to be judged only on my iennis." The skinny, 21-year-old collegian, originally from Richmond, virtually clinched a spot on final four-man U.S. Davis squad by beating teammate Marty Riessen of Evanston, 111., the third round of the national championships Monday, 4-6, 6-3, 8-6, 2-6, 6-4. He is rated the most likely )laying substitute should any- hing happen to America's big one-two punch of Chuck Mc- Sinley and Dennis Ralston. Ashe has beaten Ralston three this year. The U.S.

facesShe Australians at Cleveland Sept. 25-27. Ashe wasn't the only Davis up hopeful to impress captain Vic Seixas in Monday's matches at the West Side Tennis Club.

The women will be trying to catch up with defending champion Maria Bueno of Brazil already in the fourth round after a 7-5, 6-3 triumph over Donna Floyd Fales of New York. A new American threat for the ladies' crown emerged in the person of a plucky co-ed from St. Louis, Carol Hanks, who eliminated fourth-seeded Lesley Turner of Australia 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.
