mannered and the best dressed group on campus We don't want a bunch of ruffians" he said More Time unanimously approved by the 10 American League club owners Giles listed other objections including the belief that creation of eastern and western divisions within the major leagues would be too much of a departure from the traditional method of deciding pennant races Under the American League plan Boston New York Baltimore Washington and Cleveland would form an Eastern Division with Detroit Chicago Minneapolis California and Kansas City forming the western half er half The Western and Eastern champions would meet in a playoff to decide the league of ern Division clubs for virtually the whole season Coach Don Shula's Colts have been placed in the Coastal Division with Los Angeles San Francisco and Atlanta and are favored to gain the playoff semifinals This means the Colts will have only one meeting with Green Bay Chicago and Detroit THERE HAS been some criticism that the Colts are growing old but Shula who has had the Colts in the running for the Western Crown in his three full seasons as coach feels he's got a solid group of veterans and "the best crop of rookies we've had in some time" All-pro Johnny 'Unitas hampered by an ailing shoulder late last season is back for his 12th pro campaign and is said to be in top shape by club officials The 34-year-old quarterback has been throwing well at training camp here "I THINK I've got four or five more years left" says Unitas who has set NFL career records for most touchdown passes 232 and most yards gained passing 29539 Rola In case of an injury to Unitas the Colts could be in trouble because they dealt off backup man Gary Cuozzo to New Orleans for the No 1 cllege draft pick which turned out to be Michigan Mel Maim's

failed to get past first base with a proposal for divisional plan that could have led to the first re structaring of big league base ball since 1901 Tradition-m inded National League owners pleading that they lacked time for study shunted the proposal aside Thursday at the close of two days of meetings "The main objection was that we didn't have notice of this thing" said Warren Giles pres- ident of the National League after the tabling of a proposal Solid Group BATON ROUGE (UPI) Frank Broyles head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks says the best thing a coach can have to figure the winning percentages in football is a good mathematical background "I think the mathematical training I received at Georgia Tech in engineering has helped me most" Broyles told the Louisiana High School Coaches Association Clinic Thursday BROYLES WHO has built Arkansas into a perennial national power and fielded five Southwest Conference champions in nine years then backed up his point with a short lesson in figuring football percentages "If you get that ball inside your twenty and you don't make a first down and kick out and they return the punt inside the 50-yard line" he said "they are going to score 50 per cent of the time "Now if you make that first down and move out and kick it down inside their thirty then they are not going to score but two times in a hundred" he continued "WHEN THE OTHER team grabs the momentum like they recover a fumble they are going to come out 25 per cent stronger" he said "and you have to be in a position to know that and know you are going to have to be 25 per cent stronger to face them in that Si tuation" That said Broyles is when the leadership of veteran players counts He said it's up to them to tell the sophomores to play harder and be ready for the extra effort by opponents Broyles greying at the temples but looking as agile as he did in a Tech uniform said the same leadership displayed on the field should be found on campus JIB SAID that at Arkansas a senior has a talk with a younger player who might be cutting classes or doing something that might hurt the team lie stressed the clean-cut image team morale and said the most important factor in building a great football team is tradition Monroe Aces In Hilltop Race Program Eddie Dye Mike Cook Red Futch Charles and Ray Nugent head a list of open competition drivers out of Monroe for
