The offensive line -complete to Simonson on the other end should be much the same as in previous games. Tom Kellough will start at the water claimed by Argonauts for the J350 waiver pittance when the decided to ditch him earlier this week, signed with Toronto shortly after meeting with Lew Hayman, the club's managing director, There were no fancy benefits attached to the agreement such Stephens enjoyed at Montreal.

It was a standard contract closely, along with the gate receipts, another sign of league health and fan interest. The NFL had some astounding exhibition game gates, but the AFL pre-season crowds were not overly exciting. Puckster pays fine DETROIT (AP)- Rough-and-tumble National Hockey League defenceman Howie Young paid fine Wednesday for being drunk and told the judge, "Maybe this will teach me a lesson." The charge grew out of Young's scrap with three Detroit policemen Aug. 19. Young was given a choice by recorder's criminal court Judge John Scallen: Pay a $25 fine plus $11.90 in costs or spend 90 days in county jail.

The jail term would have kept Young from reporting Monday to Chicago Black Hawk training camp at St. Catharines, Ont. Of the $11.90, the police will get $6.90 to replace the uniform cap which patrolman Joseph Curto lost in the fight, and the other $5 will replace dishes smashed in the melee at a restaurant. Young said he had been drinking when he walked into the restaurant where Curto was eating a midnight lunch. Young snatched a sausage from Curto's plate and ate it.

Then Young snatched Curto's cap and Curto went into action. Two other officers joined in the struggle and finally handcuffed Young. ItllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH Gridder out with hepatitis Martin Monarchs of the Intercollegiate Football League were dealt a severe blow this week when it was learned that one of their offensive stalwarts, Jim Paisley, has been stricken with Infectious hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver. Jim sent the Martin fans into a tizzy last year when he connected for 106-yard and 88-yard pass-and-run touchdown plays with end John Lawford after taking pitch-outs from quarterback Dave Smith. The 106-yard payoff heave was the longest scoring of the season from scrimmage.

QUICK WORKERS LOS ANGELES-Los Angeles Angels have cut their average time of game by 13 minutes this season. It is now 2 hours and 21 minutes. SCII00L Regular 42.95 S1.00 WEEK Phone LA.3-8686 bucket that was reported to call for a $16,000 salary. What Stephens' duties would be with the Argonauts was not immediately known, but coach Nobby Wirkowki could use him at quarterback, fullback or halfback. WON'T PLAY FRIDAY It was considered unlikely that he would be able to fit into the Argo attack well enough to get into the lineup for their next game, against Winnipeg Blue Bombers here Friday nicht.

Stephens, a six-foot-one All-America from the University of Minnesota, joined the Als in 1362. He is said to have received a $10,000 bonus for signing a three-year, no-cut contract plus a guaranteed income of $35,000 a season, making a total package of $115,000. He fell into disfavor with Al-ouette coach Jim Trimble this season when he was said to have refused to trim his weight to 210 pounds from 220. He was placed under suspension and the Als were ready to pay him off in full. Details of the arrangement under which they cut him adrift by placing him on waivers were not made public.

But it was un derstood Stephens was released after agreeing to settle for less than complete payment for the two seasons remaining in his contract. WAIT AND SEE "He's a very talented player," Wirkowski said. "He is coming here as a football player, not as a specialist. He could be quarterback, fullback or halfback. I'll judge when I see him." The Argonauts already had four quarterbacks including Jackie Parker in camp when they nabbed Stephens.

But, says Hayman: "Anytime a player has as much ability as Stephens he can fit a lot of places. When he graduated from Minnesota, Detroit Lions (of the National League) wanted him as a halfback." Even if Stephens doesn't become a sensation with Toronto, the deal looks good for Argonauts at the gate. Sandy is the most talked about football player in the country. Moose Jaw rink best SASKATOON-The Don Davis rink from Moose Jaw captured the provincial men's fours lawn bowling championship with a 19-16 victory over Peter ual- braith of Saskatoon Nutana on Wednesday. Playing with Davis were McGillis, R.

Lyn Graham of Saskatoon Nutana was third and fourth place went to the defending champion, Sid Clark of Regina Wascana. The provincial ladies' fours title was won by the Mrs. Sylvia Rathie rink from Saskatoon Mayfair who defeated Nutana's Mrs. R. Fisher.

Playing with Mrs. Rathie were Mrs. Mary Mann, Mrs. H. Harnett and Mrs.

Walden was put on waivers earlier this season by Edmonton and picked up by Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Big Four. Hamilton let him go and he recently returned to the Eskimos.

Eskimos also announced they have signed import end Aubrey l.inne who had been placed on waivers by Toronto Argonauts. Linne, who stands six foot, seven inches, is a graduate of Texas Christian University. He was with Baltimore of the National Football League before joining Toronto last season. Walden, a 24-year-old product of the University of Georgia, joined Eskimos in 1961. Although out with injuries several times, he set a Western Football Conference punting record last year with an average of 4H.6 yards.

He also caught 33 of 35 passes thrown to him last season for a 94 per cent completion average, best in the V'FC. Vets pull even in softhall set MOOSE JAW (Staff) Vets trounced East End Jets 20-3 to even up their best-of-five men's softball series at one game each on Wednesday. Jerry Denis hurled the victory with Howie Scholdire absorbing the setback. NEW YORK (AP) The American Football League this weekend opens the fourth season in its struggle for equal recognition with the old National Football League, with a new city, a new ownership and, hopefully, better balance. Houston Oilers and Kansas City Chiefs who operated from Dallas last season are favored to repeat their playoff game of last year.

But Pop Ivy, the Oilers' coach, said one or both of the division champions in the eight-club league could wind up with a season record no better than 9-5. Ivy looks for Oakland Raiders and New York Jets, perennial whipping boys, to spring some surprises and balance the league a bit. The Raiders get their chance right away. They meet Ivy's Oilers at Houston in one of two Saturday night games that get the season under way. The Chiefs, who gave up their gate struggle with the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, travel to Denver for the other Saturday night game.

TWO GAMES SUNDAY There are two more games on tap Sunday. The Jets, with new money, a new coach Weeb Ewbank, formerly of the NFL Baltimore Colts and a new name, meet Boston Patriots in one. Buffalo Bills travel to San Diego for the other against the Chargers. The Jets, who were the Titans of unhappy memory last year, won only one exhibition game against the Patriots, who didn't win any. San Diego had the best exhibition record, 4-1, and Buffalo was 3-1.

Ivy, whose Oilers were 3-2 in trial games, says he thinks the AFL is now almost on a playing par with the NFL. Observers will watch that Raimey goes on ivaivers WINNIPEG (CP) Winnipeg Blue Bombers have placed import halfback Dave Raimey on waivers. A spokesman for the Western Football Conference club said British Columbia Lions have shown interest in claiming the 195-pound player for the $350 waiver price. But no deal has been made for the university of Michigan Star in his first year with Bombers. Bombers have the right of recall if another club should claim Raimey.

Bothered by tender shoulders, he has been on the Bombers' 30-day Injured list. Raimey was Michigan's leading scorer for the last two years. BACK T0 SPECIAL! Canada's Best Bicycle Value! "CRUISER" a IES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -Flags of the United States, Canada and Mexico were raised on separate poles at the Wakonda Club course Wednesday in a preliminary to the America's Cup golf matches today and Friday. The banners of the three countries participating in the Americas Cup matches will remain in position until the conclusion of the U.S. amateur tournament Sept.

14. The United States Americas Cup team, favored to win its seventh consecutive title, toured the par 36-36-72 Wakonda layout Tuesday. A hole or so behind came the Canadian team. Trailing them over the 6.S9H-yard course were the Mexicans. Billy Joe Patton, the U.S.

team captain, said the Wakonda greens are "real good" but that another mowing or two would improve the fairways. EXAMINES COURSE Joseph C. Dey, executive director of the United States Golf Association, also toured the course. He recommended changes to correct what he called the poor condition of two or three driving zones on the early holes, and trimming the rough to four inches in height. The trees, rather than the grass, were being eyed by some of the early arrivals for next week's U.S.

amateur championship. Commented Richard Da-vies, the 1962 British amateur champion: "It will sound like a xylophone when these guys start hitting those trees." In the Americas Cup play, three three-ball sixsomes will be played both mornings, and six singles matches will be played each afternoon. In the sixsomes a two-man team will represent each country with the players hitting alternate shots. In both sixsomes and singles each country will oppose the other two. A point is given the winner of each 18-hole match.

The Canadian team consists of Nick Weslock of Toronto, the "0" uA. quarterback with John Arnott and Ted Hogan sharing fullback duty. Perkins, Bob McAfee, Al Lott and Ed Duetcher will get the Lion's share of halfback duty. Art McAvoy, who intercepted two Hilltop passes last Saturday, and rookie Glenn Lawson will be available for flanking chores. CAMPBELL iiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii More sport on 22, 23 wardrobe until you've could use suit? Somewhere back in the mist of sports history, someone said "you can't tell the players without a program," and if the present trend continues Regina Ram head coach Paul Anderson and his cohorts can't be faulted if they resort to programs to identify their own gladiators.

Walloped 21-0 in their last outing at the hands of the upstart Saskatoon Hillsopts; Anderson, line coach Russ Haines and backfield coach Jack Urness scheduled a full week of head knocking in preparation for the club's next start which comes Saturday afternoon when they entertain the undefeated St. James Rods in Taylor Field at 2 o'clock. However, they have had to make several last-minute changes in their plans because of the heavy traffic in and out of camp. Last week Rams lost a trio of players who had figured highly in the club's future plans and by Wednesday another pair of stalwarts had checked out. Latest 1 to leave the club were half-Rennie Bradley and Grant Rus-coni.

Bradley, a handy two-way back, left for Edmonton lo attend the University of Alberta and Rusconi accepted a scholarship in eastern Canada. It is also exepected that starry end Vern Simonson will be leaving in the near future to enroll at Hit university in Edmonton. 1 While the loss of players has undoubtedly caused the coaching staff much concern, they must have been equally as pleased with the latest additions to the team. Wedneday, holdover quarterback Rudy Lipp checked into camp as did veteran fullback Ken Johns. Both have been un-1 able to get time off from their jobs until now.

COLLEGE ALL-STAR Lome Dillabaugh, an all-star tackle with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies last-year and former Sheldon-Williams Spartan lineman, drew equipment on Wednesday. It is also expected that Gary Korven, all- star corner linebacker in the Western Intercollegiate League last year with Huskies, will line up with Rams in the next day or so. Unfortunately it is doubtful that anv of the newcomers will be ready for Saturday's tussle with the league-leading Rods. Veteran all-star tackle Larry Van Moorelehan will also miss the game with a leg hurt that he picked up in the Hilltop-Ram game last weekend. The full extent of his injury has not yet been learned but he will definit Mohm moves to centre spot BOSTON (AP)-Veteran defenceman Doug Mohns will be tried al centre this year as Boston Bruins try to beef up their forward lines.

Coach Milt Schmidt, in making the announcement today, said he hopes the acquisition of Tom Johnson from Montreal and Bob McCord from Springfield of the American Hockey League will enable the Bruins to spare Mohns for the forward post. Clay's opponent will he decided LOUISVILLE. Ky. (AP) -Wiiham Faversham, financial manager for heavyweight boxer Cassius Clay, said Wednesday a meeting is scheduled next Tuesday to determine Clay's next op-ponenet. The meeting between Faver sham and Clay is set for Mi ami, where Clay is at his tram ing camp.

Faversham said he had a lot of offers to go over with Clay, and the next opponent could be announced next Wednesday.
