Portsmouth had an interesting series going with the Viiings during the past decade.

Jlaybe the Vikings will remain on the card. Portsmouth was lo have had an opportunity to play in their new gymnasium. It was ready about a year before the home of the New Hampshire champs was opened.

Ring to The former all-pro center of the Chicago Bears will spend next season trying to lift the New York Titans into a contending position Antrim in the American Football League. Lisbon Sammy Baugh, another former Behnonl National Football League great, Hollis couldn't do It and Monday after Troy weeks of open.feuding with Titan Ashland owner Harry Wismer and his sec- HaverhiU ond straight 7-7 season, Baugh Heart was dropped to a "consultant" and and Turner was named succeed him as head coach. "Everybody's happy," claimed Wismer, who said Turner would be paid $20,000 a year under a two-year contract, the same amount Baugh was drawing as head coach.

The out-spoken Titan boss then took another verbal punch at Baugh, who last week said he hoped he'd be fired but wouldn't quit, obviously because he wanted lo be paid the $20,000 due him under his firec-year contract. 'Turner was my first choice for head coach when I organized this club," Wismer said. "My second choice was Otto Graham, my third was Frank Leahy and my fourth choice was Sammy Baugh." Baugh wasn't available for comment but last week, when Wismer threatened to demote him, Sammy said: "That's wonderful. I'd like lo be an assistant at these prices." Turner, now 42, played 13 seasons with the Bears and eight times was named all-pro center. After his retirement in 1933, he was an assistant under George Halas of the Bears until IMS.

Thc game was lo have been played here a week from tonight, but the SomervUle school officials did not return the contract after for the point lead in Class lo-, olh enter competition which wift keep them at a Ihe game had been agreed upon. Athletic Director George Ford contacted the school and was iold the board of education would not allow trips out of slafe. Massachusetts does have a 20-game limit on Ihe leagues and Somerville usually plays a couple of games outside. However, they could have notified Portsmouth a liUle sooner because the game was on the schedule submitted to the state athletic association for approval.

This meant Portsmouth was short one Class game and no possible chance to add another opponent which would count in the ratings. Somerville does owe Portsmouth a home game, too. When Ed Skiffington was coach, Portsmouth played in Somerville and was to have returned here the next season. Skiff, however, figured his home town club was too tough for Portsmouth and the game was dropped. On the records, however, we still are entitled lo a game Portsmouth.
