The Times Football Becomes King Tonight Old Man Football ascends school sports tonight and readied at the coronation. Principal questions are how and Huntsville Crimson Panthers on the way up after having the Butler Rebels once again To the first question, our practices would indicate both campaign.

Both could become Tennessee Valley Conference the throne as king of high some moot questions are being good will the Butler 1 Rebels be this year? Is Huntsville been down for some time? Will take the role of a grid power? observations at pre-season will field good teams this contenders in the rugged chase. As for Question No. 2, the answer is definitely in the affirmative. Huntsville is on the upgrade once again, and deserves respect any time it goes on the field. The players' attitudes are on the optimistic side and they will be trying every minute.

On query No. 3, only time will tell. Coach Fulton Hamilton is once again in the saddle. But he is no miracle man. He has some good boys on the squad and the Rebels could develop into another powerhouse.

But playing 10 Class AA foes is a terrific job for any team, and the results could belie the Rebels' ability. One thing is for sure. The Rebels and Panthers are going to give a good account of themselves this season. The winor-else followers may have a few disappointments, but the squads will not give away any games. Whoever beats them will know they won over a good high school football club.

Why Not A Training Table For Athletes? Something we'd like to see our local schools inaugurate is a raining table for the athletic squads. It is done in other high schools so why shouldn't Huntsville have a similar program? The boys would be given a lunch of roast beef and potatoes, or some similar weight-energy-producing food. It would be a good investment in producing sounder bodies. The lunches now served are healthful, but not quite adequate for a growing youngster engaged in football. The players burn up too much energy for the amount given them at the lunches.

After all, the gridders are just. a little bit special. They represent an investment of nearly $200 per student in equipment alone. That's a pile of money for a squad of 33 players. Cost of a training table would not be prohibitive.

The cost could be partially borne by the PTA or school booster clubs, thus easing the load on the individual schools. The result would be worth the cost of the project. Brother Combinations Star On Tide Alabama has long been noted for its family ties in athletics. The Moseleys are probably the best known of the clans. Now two other families are bidding for Alabama fame through brother combinations.

Two Sington boys are trying to follow their illustrious father on the grid. Fred made All-American in 1930. Fred and Dave are expected to develop into line stars for the Crimson Tide this year. Lesser known are the 0'Steens of Anniston. But the name may become a byword with Tide faithful.

Gary O'Steen, a 1957 letterman at halfback, will try to gain the quarterbacking job this season. Henry is a 194-pound sophomore seeking an end position with Alabama. He is considered by the coaches as one of the brighest prospects. These four boys are good reasons why the Capstone grid fortunes are looking upward. 'Bama Polishes Passing Attack Jordan Is Displeased Over Auburn Practice TUSCALOOSA (AP) Alabama's Crimson Tide drilled an hour and 45 minutes yesterday on passing offense and defense in preparation for its opening game with Louisiana State Sept.

27 at Mobile. Coach Paul Bryant praised quarterback Bobby Jackson, saying he has improved considerably during the past few days, A slow rain fell throughout yesterday's drills. AUBURN (AP)-Auburn's Tigers went through a 25 minute scrimmage yesterday with the first unit scoring a 12-0 victory over the second unit. But Coach Ralph Jordan's reaction to the skirmish was when he demanded "wind sprin's" after practice for the first time this fall. "In a crude way, the first unit got themselves two touchdowns, a dejected Jordan said, "but championships aren't defended by a team with no snap and without 100 per cent hustle." Tommy Lorino ran 62 yards for one touchdown and quarterback Lloyd Nix threw an 18-yard pass to Lamar Rawson for the second.

Shields To Head Columbia Crew Veteran Yachtsman Skipper Cup's Entry NEWPORT, R. I. (AP) Corny Shields apparently is "on again" as skipper of Columbia, the yacht picked to defend the America's Cup against England's Sceptre. Shields, a 63-year-old cardiac case, is credited with pulling the Columbia crew together for the final trials. He was missing from the boat in the 12-second victory over Vim Thursday that convinced the selection committee it was time to name Columbia.

But today the head of the Columbia syndicate made it clear that Corny will sail the yacht in the cup defense. The best-of-seven match opens Sept. 20. For Friends LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) Lynchburger visiting the Charles Town, W.

REPORTS INSIST MANAGER IS OUT Hutchinson May Beat Card Bosses To Punch MILWAUKEE (AP) If bosses of the St. Louis Cardinals don't hurry up and publicly fire Fred Hutchinson as manager, he might beat them to the punch. Club officials insist they won't make a final decision until the ends, despite reports he already is out.

But Hutchinson disclosed upon the club's arrival here that he al: ready has received four "solid offers for jobs," is not giving definite answers on them for the time being "but I probably will in about 10 days." That will be a week before the regular season ends and the time set by the Cardinal brass for a definite decision. Hutchinson should announce acceptance of another baseball jab around Sept. 31, the Cardinals might not be ready to announce his successor. Alvin Dark, the veteran 35-yearold infielder traded by the Cardinais to the Chicago Cubs earlier this season, is believed to have the inside track for the job if the Cardinals are willing to pay the price in baseball talent that it will take to get him back. The only way the Cardinals could acquire Dark before Sept.

Coach Fulton Hamilton, winding up pre-game drills yesterday, pronounced his Rebels in perfect shape for this first outing for the green and gold team. "We have no injuries on the squad," he said. "Physically, we are ready for this one." Hamilton, returning to the westside school after a -year tour in the insurance field, will probably start David Hall and Jasper McFarland at ends; KenDaniel and Jerry Tolbert at tackles; Jimmy Henderson and Larry Pollard or Gerald Hodgins at guards and either Paul Moon or Johnny Campbell at center. Blackie McDaniel or Don Hall will call the shots tonight.

At the halfback spots will be 178-pound Brooks Gentle and 185 pound Johnny Roberts. The fullback slot will be held down by Nelson Montgomery, a plunging. 185- pounder.

"The boys seem ready but we have so much weight against us." He will probably start Mickey Moore and David Hart at the end spots. The tackles will be manned by Bruce Hammer and Sam Sullins while the guard spots will be in the hands of Bobby Hopper and Donald Appler. Charles Giles will get the nod at the center slot. Larry McIntosh, a transfer dent, will start at the quarterback spot. Capable Benny Nelson will go at left half with swift Heddon holding down the righthalf post.

CARY MIDDLECOFF Written for AP Newsfeatures The golfer who thinks he can play winning golf by spending all his practice time on the driving range is wrong.

Long and true wood and iron shots can be turned into a winning game only by sapplementing them with accurate close-up shots that pay off when the ball hits the green--and stays there. Chipping and pitching are known as the "stroke savers" in golf. The ability to score hits or near misses on the pin from off the green will I save strokes on the green. And these short pitch and chip shots are often completely overlooked during practice sessions. While the pitch shot is highly lofted and played to drop "dead" on the green, the chip is used to pitch and roll the ball up to the pin over ground that is reasonably level.

It is played with a comparatively straight faced iron preferably a No. 5. Avoid all body movement durMing the stroke, as a chip shot is best executed exclusively through. hand and arm motion. Also, there: is little break in wrists, with the line of the clubhead being almost, parallel to the ground instead ofthe usual wide arc.

The secret of a good chip shot is judgment of where to land the ball on the green and the knowle edge of how much roll to allow as the ball moves toward the hole. The shot itself is easily executed. But practice in aiming and allowing for the roll is essential to the mastering of the chip shot. fought and well-played. One of them was won by easy scores.
