6-D THC MIAMI HERALD Thurs June 29 1972 On a Young Allihos Life Stovall Fears Rise in Cost of Winnin "You can't explain that deep gut feeling that an athlete has tchen he wins because he knows he paid the price It costs more today to win than it did when I was a youngster and it will cost more tomorrow I am sometimes fearful to think what it will cost tchen my son is old enough to competed former St Louis Card star Jerry Stovall many twice his age But thev loved him They liked his uncomplicated energy Stovall paid for his football glory in practice hours he estimates over 18500 and all those broken bones days? Sometimes they bother me even on sunny -he admitted ask most high school players about their injuries mostly broken toes and not much more serious Well my mother cn break her toe in the kitckzn People break toes every day and not getting any glory out of trying to Stovall noted Meanwhile Stovall finds himself in the positive talking company of Dietzel and Gamecock baseball Coach Bobby Richardson not really Meggyesy country The inflated cost of victory will not make Stovall rush his own son into sports or anything else young I want him to play a number of sports I want anybody to direct my son into a single area too Barely into the over-30 generation Stovall said he felt self-conscious talking to a group of veteran educators several others drove to the Mardi Gras Do you realize how far that is? Sixteen hundred miles almost two-thirds of the way across the face of this he said Those are distractions that Stovall never faced He also was an all-state athlete in both football and baseball an increasingly difficult thing to do now in an era of specialization The program picture depicted an eagle-eyed Stovall with crew-cut hair an old Stovall said with a softlaugh let my hair grow about a year and a half just THE FORMER teammate of dropout Dave Meggyesy says he hears only static on wave length a very alarming and disturbing situation and not sure at all what long enough to comb now Stovall also wears eye glasses that lend him a professorial bearing a nonstop talker who can shift from glib platitudes to surgical social analysis without dropping a syllable MEGOTJTHEM1FO BOWLING dick evans Minors Bill Deserves Full Aid When Richard Pallot chairman of the State Board of Eu-mct'S Regulation and members of the thoroughbred advi-sm committee staged a press conference last week one fact came out that disturbed me considerably It also had to have the same effect I would think on local thoroughbred track operators I'm referring to what appeared to be a rather lukewarm attitude on the part of advisory committee chairman Bob Maekle toward lowering the age limit for attendance at thoroughbred tracks For several jears I have been a strong booster for legislative action which would drop the age limit for race track patrons from 21 to 17 or 18 or even lower The horse tracks have made several attempts to get a so-called bill" passed by the legislature but the Senate has proven too big a stumbling block In the 1969 1970 and 1971 sessions such a bill got out of committee in both the House and Senate but that was the end The House did pass a minors bill twice but it sat in the Senate calendar until adjournment Greyhound tracks and jai-alai frontons are admittedly rot interested in getting the age limit lowered but as far as I know they particularly opposed to such a move where thoroughbred racing is concerned Will Help Attendance WHY SHOULD THE AGE LIMIT be lowered for admittance to a Florida horse track? From my standpoint simply because it has to be at least one answer to one of the major problems confronting the thoroughbred plants a steady and alarming drop in attendance ov er the last few years Horse racing is simply not attracting new customers By the time an individual reaches 21 and by law can attend the races he or she has usually found other uses for his or her leisure time Pallot himself is cognizant of the need to bring new faces into horse racing attendance Track operators definitely realize this fact as they look at diminishing crowd figures A minors bill certainly won't be the cure-all but it would unquestionably help a great deal Herald Tourney Lets Bowlers Pick Winning Moves raoeixmiiDB IMPORTED CAR SPECIALS 5 Vis' 135x13 XBIack Plus 105 FE Tax By BILL SHELDON Htrild Sports Wrltor Jerry Stovall retired from the St Louis football Cardinals last fall after nine bone-shattering seasons Often the bones were his own A bad knee finally betrayed him my years of football I have suffered a broken nose a fractured right cheek five lost teeth and a broken right clavicle Stovall said I have had a ripped sternum seven broken ribs and a calcium deposit in my right arm that prevents me from straightening it I have broken 11 fingers I'm not too smart but I know broken one finger twice hurt my right foot so bad I almost lost it injured my right arch and broke my right big toe three He recited this awesome medical history for several hundred delegates to the National Federation of State High School Associations to illustrate the cost of victory for one football player himself BUT STOVALL admits he already misses his playing days despite all that explain that deep gut feeling an athlete has when he wins because he knows he paid the he said The onetime All-Pro defensive back was an all-purpose performer at Louisiana State and Heisman Trophy runner-up Stovall spoke about the cost of victory It was not a budget message costs more today to win than it did when I was a youngster and it will cost more tomorrow I am sometimes fearful to think what it will cost when my son is old enough to said Stovall a two-time All-American Stovall knows he had it both tough and easy back in West Monroe La where he grew up He had less temptation never had a car in high said Stovall boy or girl can commute 100 miles a day to school and think nothing about it today but 100 miles for me was a vacation with Mother and HE HAS joined Paul Diet-zel his old college coach at South Carolina we had three or four boys at South Carolina who went down to Jamaica over the spring break And Vande Velde Wins First Cycle Spot SAN JOSE Calif (UPI) John Vande Velde lues-day night was chosen the first team member of the United States cycling team to the Munich Olympics after he won the 4000-meter individual pursuit The selection committee put off until later the picking of other members of the squad although Hans Neum-berg topped the 1000 meter individual time trials for the second night in a row Vande Velde 28 a salesman of emergency light equipment was on the US team for the 1968 Mexican Olympics He won a bronze medal in the 4000-meter pursuit event at the Pan-American Games in Colombia last year Vande Velde was chosen after he beat Dave Chauner in the final of the pursuit with a time of 5:155 Problems? Sure But A STRONG RECOMMENDATION to the legislature from board of business regulation and its thoroughbred ad-v isory committee would be of great aid Maekle did admit that his committee would examine the miners situation at its future meetings but added are endless problems associated with such a Certainly be problems a lot of them but the ad-vantages seem too great to me to be simply passed over After all 18-v ear-olds can be drafted eligible to register to vote Why they be allowed to go into a race track?
