1 70 Sunday Tribune-Herald, September 5, 7965 i Four Teams Play At Honokaa .1 Hilo's First Home Game This Saturday Grid Jamboree On Today it If "'1 'J Nobody knows which two teams play first and which others will come in order, but one thing's sure they'll be a lot of gridders out there and a lot of football this afternoon. Reference is to the Big Island Interscholastic Federation's' Football Jamboree scheduled for today at the Honokaa School Park, starting at 1 p.m. Four of the five teams in the conference will give the fans a total of 60 minutes of football action. They are Hilo, Honokaa, Kohala and Kau. The only BIIF team that Is not in on the deal is Hawaii Prep.

Each team will get to meet the other three in 10-minute "games." With four teams in the scramble, there's be six such 10-minute skirmishes for a total of 60 minutes. With one team playing the other three 10 minutes each, everyone of them will have played 30 minutes. Right now nobody knows who'll take to the field first. This will be decided at' a meeting of the coaches and officials earlier in the day when lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be drawn. Teams 1 and 2 will start the Jamboree at 1 o'clock.

After this 10-minute battle, teams 3 and 4 will take the field for another 10-minute "game." After a short team 1 will play 3, then teams 4 and 2 will follow. After another rest period, the final two 10-minute clashes will find team 1 against 4, and team 3 against 2. The Jamboree champion will be determined on the total points scored minus points scored against. The team with the most points after the of course, will be declared the champion. This is a new thing in Hawaii.

Interest appears to have mounted on the Jamboree in recent days and it could prove so popular it may.be initiated as an annual affair.

But below Greatest Thrill THE LAYOUT ABOVE IS THE For the second year in a row, Kona will get to see two "outsiders" clash on the football field. Scheduled to tangle at Konawaena's Julian R. Yates Field next Sunday are the Kau High School Trojans and the Kohala Cowboys of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation football conference. Konawaena, because its school year is not the same as all others, does not play football although more than 25 years ago the Wildcats were one of the power of gridiron on the Big Island.

The Kau-Kohala game, of course, is a preseason affair and meeting of the two teams on the neutral Konawaena field was first "experimented" last year. It proved so popular with the'Kona fans that Kau and Kohala are giving it another try. Having had a good pre-season workout in the Jamboree today at Honokaa, both the Cowboys and Trojans should be in real good shape to put on a fine show for the Konans. Big Island Portuguese Golf Play Scheduled For Sept. 26 Si 3.

Tittle is back on the gridiron again this' year. But this time he is teaching some one else the business of being a signal-caller. Tittle retired from the New York Giants at the end of last year's disastrous season. That is he retired as an active player. But he was retained by the Giants to handle public relations work and do some scouting on the side.

But Coach Jack Christiansen of the San Francisco 49ers thought he. could get some help from Tittle in tutoring the quarterbacks for the west coast team. So, with special permission from the Giants, Tittle is spending his time at Moraga, California, working out with the San Francisco quarterbacks. His special project is George Mira, the onetime ace passer for the University of Miami in Florida. Mira was a rookie last season with the 49ers and it was hardly a successful year so far as he was concerned.

Mira's chief problem was remaining in the pocket. He has a problem because of his shortness and he likes to maneuver around looking for a receiver. But this is a tough job in the National Football League where the defense enjoys destroying quarterbacks. Mira's season came to an end in a game against the Chicago Bears when he ran out of a pocket and started to cruise for a first down. But he was hit on the blind side with a ferocious tackle and injured his shoulder.

Senators Recall Craig HONOLULU Iff) The Washington Senators yesterday announced they are calling up Hawaii Islander pitcher Pete Craig immediately.

Deadline for entries is Wednesday, Sept. 22. Astros' Jim Owens Sued By Woman MILWAUKEE, Wis.

Iff) Jim Owens, Houston Astros pitcher, was named defendant in an' $85,000 damage suit filed in U.S. District Court Thursday by a Milwaukee woman. Mrs. Nancy K. Steward, 23, a business machine operator, al leged that Owens seduced her July 5 in Milwaukee and that she is prepant.

She asked $75,000 for medica and other expenses and $10,000 punitive damages. The com plaint identified Owens as a pro fessional baseball player em ployed by the Houston Astros.i In Houston, Owens, 31, com mented, "I don't know anything about death on March 20, 1955. Play is open to all golfers of Portuguese ancestry, and although the tournament championship will go to the low gross winner, prizes galore will be at stake for low net winners also.

Take over the sanctioning powers itself. Under the latter proposal, the only voice in "open" meet sanctioning left to. either AAU or NCAA would be through their membership on the Olympic Committee. An open meet is one wnrrn college athletes subject to NCAA jurisdiction and non-college athletes subject to AAU jurisdiction compete together. The two organizations have been boycotting each other's open meets, threatening any athlete who breaks the boycott with disbarment from competition.

Cross-Country Big Isle Braves Still Not Popular At Home MILWAUKEE ID The Milwaukee Braves, two games out of first place after Friday's games, are still playing to most ly empty seats at County Sta dium despite their contender's role in the dramatic National League pennant race. Only 5,349 fans paid to watch the Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night in the opener of a crucial home stand. Officials of the lame duck team, which is scheduled to shift to Atlanta next season, had hoped that pennant fever might spur attendance in the closing weeks of the season. In 63 home dates, the Braves have drawn only 475,946 paid admissions. At the same stage last season, attendance stood at The paucity of the crowd evoked sarcasm from Manager Bobby Bragan.

He said "We didn't want to disappoint all those fans." Bragan emphasized the word "All." He added: "I actually thought that the closer we came to the end of the season more fans would, come out. It's their last chance to see the club and with a chance to sit in on a pennant." Kelso Shoots For $2 Million Mark Monday NEW YORK W- It seems odd to talk about millionaires on Labor Day but come Monday that's what they will be doing at the Aqueduct Race Track. The perennial Horse of The Year and possible "Horse of The Century," Kelso, will take his first crack at topping the two million dollar mark in earnings. King Kelly will head the field for the $100,000 Aqueduct Handicap. It is a mile and one-furlong race, and that means Kelso will be running at his favorite race track and over his favorite distance.

He never has been beaten at the nine-furlong route, and while he has lost a few times at Aqueduct he also has scored many great victories there. Kelso is the world's leading money winner and has put one million, 954-thousand, 144 dollars in the bank in his seven years of campaigning. First money, in the Aqueduct will be in the neighborhood of $70,000,. which would put Kelso well over the two million dollar mark. Second money will not, by the way.

Kelso will be meeting a shifty band of handicap runners and winning won't come easy. The small but game Roman Brother has worked in fine fash ion for this race and so has the California crack, Hill Rise. The speedy Malicious is another candidate. Kelso won the Whitney Stakes at Saratoga in his last start and is in great "shape for his assault on the two million dollar plateau. CLEVELAND, WITH THE GREAT BIG THREE of Bob Lemon, Early Wynn and Mike Garcia, a fourth man in Bob Feller, and a great bullpen corps, was the Series favorite well, sir, on this particular first game of the series, Cleveland took an early 2-0 lead on a shaky Sal Maglie, then the Giants evened it at 2-2 in the third it remained at 2-2 and had all the appearances of going overtime, which it did, with Lemon and Maglie going great guns in the eighth, however, there was that one fleeting split of a second when it appeared, the Indians were going to make the betting odds look good it was that great catch by Mays, as illustrated and described in the above layout, that broke up a possible Cleveland rally at the crack of Vic Wertz' bat and the flight of the ball, it seemed utterly impossible for Mays to come anywhere near the soaring horsehide the fleet-footed Doby was on second and Rose on first, no out BUT WHEN MAYS DID HAUL in the ball at the 450-foot mark in dead center with his back turned to home, plate, the entire park was so unbelievably amazed that there was, honestly, a split second of complete silence, then a deafening roar that could have been heard all the way to Great Neck, Long Island Doby, in fact, had nearly reached third on the shot, but the throw-In from a tumbling position by Mays had to be so long that Doby had enough time to return to second safely they got the next two batters, and when Mays trotted in toward the dugout, he was given a tremendous standing ova-tion the New York writers called it the greatest eatch In World Series history at the time There was no immediate statement from the Presidents of the two rival groups, Everett D.

Barnes of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn, (NCAA) and Clifford H. Buck, of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). The Senate Commerce Committee's ultimatum was disclosed by chairman Warren G. Magnuson, after a long closed door meeting of which Barnes and Buck were admitted, only briefly. "Something's going to be done about it next week, put it that way," Magnuson said.

He did not try to conceal his irritation because, he said, the peace talk between AAU and NCAA leaders had produced no indication that any voluntary settlement agreement was in sight. Magnuson said many proposals for an imposed settle- Fans Asked Not To Boo Robinson CINCINNATI, Ohio The Cincinnati fans have been giving Frank Robinson such a hard time lately that Manager Dick Sisler is pleading with them to stop lest it hurts the club's chances for the National League pennant. Robinson always has been booed at Crosley Field in his ten years with the Reds. But nothing like lately. The fans jeer mostly when he fails to hit with men on base and Robinson cays the booing bothers him in that he tries a little bit too hard.

He's batting .286 now, but has been hitting in streaks and at present is in a slump. Sisler says Robinson is the key to the Reds winning the pennant -and if the fans want to boo someone, then boo the Tour Swimmers Ba From Long Main BUT THAT WASN'T THE END FOR MAYS after one out In the 10th, Mays walked and on the first pitch to Hank Thompson, Willie stole second this was a strategy on the part of Durocher Cleveland had to in-1 tentionally walk Thompson, In this situation to set up a double-play situation Leo brought in Dusty Rhodes to pinch-hit for Monte Win Rhodes for Irvin, you see, had I been the usual thing all season long Dusty parked Lem-I en's first Ditch into the rightfield stands for a three-run Lakes country, across to New York, Connecticut, down south through the Allegheny Mountains, west to the Arizona-Texas border and back to California.
