TT rr j-P THE MIAMI HERALD Friday Dec 18 1964 1 Sees a Lot Left i Memory of Paul Brown 5 More Seasons Still Clings to Modell -Mantle Jimmy Cannon Reprinted from late Thursday editions NEW YORK (UPI) Mickey Mantle star outfielder of the New York Yankees said Wednesday he hopes to play 140 games a season for the next three years feel I still have a lot of baseball left in Mantle said knows? I might be able to play five more The injury-prone slugger came to New York from his home in Dallas for a meeting of the Hodgkins Disease Foundation of which he is co-chairman His father died of the disease at the age of 42 ic but Blanton send one messenger in It was about Collier but there was a lot of Paul Brown in what Modell was saying The quarterback was a flunkey when Paul Brown coached the team named after him There were alternating guards who brought in the plays he said and Paul Brown had a reputation for being cold is not a rah-rah type or an inspirational leader and he never will be a great human It is the popular theory among a lot of enlightened football people that Jimmy Brown runs the team They claim Modell listens to him too much and encourages him to make decisions normally left to a pouch This infuriates Modell and he talk it down Mantle played In 143 games last season batting 303 driving in 111 runs and slamming 35 homers Toward the end of the season Manager Yogi Berra used him in right and left fields rather than his usual position in center NEW YORK Every time any one mentions the Cleveland football team they celebrate Paul Brown The team is named after him the only firm in a major sport identified by a name He is still big with them but in a strange way This year they will send him salary checks for $82500 and they wall keep coming for four more seasons It matter where they stand in the league either or who coaches them or plays Paul Brown asked to do any work for the $82-500 They solicit his advice although they can by the terms of the document that describes him as a vice-president He have to come to a game or appear at practice or even live in Cleveland during the football season The contract calls for $82500 whether they win or lose and there can be no argument about that They are the champions of the Eastern Division today and they won it under his name Already some people are forgetting that Browns mean Paul Brown One who remembers is Art Modell He owns the club and he ducks any discussion of Paul Brown unless you push him into it Their only connection is the check signed by Modell with the return address on the envelopes using name I asked Modell on the long distance phone if he had heard from Paul Brown after the team beat the Giants 52-20 Saturday in Yankee Stadium he replied and that was all Modell started to move early in this town He had a box at the Statium in those years and he pulled for the Giants The location of the seats proved Art Modell was handling important action Rooting for the Giants is still the way the young businessmen spend their Sundays in New York It tells as much about a guy like Modell as the car he drives or the country club where he plays golf HE HEARD THAT THE BROWNS were up for sale and he sold his television company and threw all his holdings into the pot and bought them The price was $3925-000 and it was a hell of a buy until Modell went up against Paul Brown It work at all and on a cold night in December of we were killing time in Toots and he said take a walk We trudged across town through the gusty streets with our heads down and our hands in our pockets The wind would snatch some of what Modell said out of his mouth and it was difficult to listen He had it all inside of him and he wanted to talk it out with a guy who mixed up in it in any way But Modell told me that he was compelled to do it and he sure what would happen when he did There was the money the long contract at $82500 and what would Cleveland think about a New York guy when he fired the most famous coach in football? No one could answer that But Art Modell said his face pinched with the December cold there was no other way There was trouble between Paul Brown and the players Many believed the system was obsolete and the disturbed owner reach his coach He wanted Brown to stay but Modell considered the situation impossible He let Brown go and put Blanton Collier in his place and the checks went out to the man whose name was on the team Art Modell sat in the press box last Saturday and he heard the New York buffs singing their disappointment with the Giants The memory of Paul Brown had to be at him because this team is still called the Brawns and that means Paul Brown IS THE GREATEST teacher in the Modell said can take all the credit of making Frank Ryan a quarterback At times Frank can be errat the same old he said resigned talk to a lot of players before and after games After some games some need some things more than others I communicate with them all How can any one draw a conclusion just because I talk to Jimmy sometimes that he is running the club? We have a co-operative democratic effort on this club so unfair to Blanton to say a thing like this He deals a little different with his players than most coaches Particularly in the setting of the game plan He discusses it with the players and the assistant coaches in a democratic He paused and I could hear the wires twittering is a truly fine Kentucky he said at his record won 20 games lost 7 and tied one He is also a great There are a lot of clever coaches in the league But at $82500 Paul Brown still makes more than any of them And he even have to show up guess my knees got sort of a rest because I run so Mantle explained must have I played a strong September I think Yogi used me real good He rested me at the right time and I managed to play more than I did in three Mantle said dismissal stunned him Press Wirephoto Handed the basket in Wednesday basketball game at Houston Fibbe however had to give up the ball with his foul on Apolskis during action in the Bluebonnet cage tourney Houston won 50-48 Chargers May Use Agajanian Richard Apolskis is caught with his hands up as Auburn Guard Tommy Fibbe drives by on his way to mom LA Denies $500000 Wilt Bid SAN DIEGO (UPI) Veteran place kicker Ben Agajanian has returned to the San Diego Chargers camp and may be activated for game with the Oakland Raiders Agajanian was called when Fullback Keith Lincoln was idled with ankle and knee injuries He was with the Chargers earlier this season but pulled a muscle in his right thigh and also injured his left knee Reprinted from late Thursday editions Hockey National League Pts GF GA 65 DODGE1 13 7 13 9 13 11 11 9 9 11 5 17 RESULTS Detroit 7 New York 3 Chicago 7 Boston 5 Only games scheduled 31 30 28 28 25 14 American League Pts GF GA 21 8 1 43 120 76 15 9 2 32 94 69 10 13 3 23 89 86 10 18 2 22 85 119 7 21 9 14 69 110 WESTERN DIVISION Rochester 18 8 2 38 97 Buffalo 13 8 3 29 76 Pittsburgh 11 11 3 25 81 Cleveland 6 15 4 16 62 Basketball National Association EASTERN DIVISION Pet 25 6 806 18 11 621 16 15 516 Boston Cincinnati Phila Other Fin Cart 50 Doy Abott Rmf A-Car 1451 Floater FR 3-032 Haugliton Top Driver New York US Track Aide Liscomb Joins A AU 7 21 250 16'j WESTERN DIVISION Los Angeles St Louis Baltimore Detroit San Fran 18 11 621 16 12 571 1 it 13 17 433 512 12 20 375 7 Vi 10 22 313 10 MINNEAPOLIS Minn (UPI) Robert Short owner of the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday denied a report that his club had offered $500000 and two players to San Francisr co for Wilt Chamberlain The Los Angeles Times said a source close to the Laker management had revealed the record cash offer Veteran Guard Dick Barnett and rookie Cotton Nash were also to be traded the Times said know anything about Short a trucking firm executive said offered any players to anyone not talking trade with anyone completely satisfied with the players Short said the Lakers were always willing to add good players by purchase been no such proposal made for he said (the front office) do it without my permission and I give Laker General Manager Lou Mohs also denied any knowledge of the offer He said the!
