Stapleton Cyclones Rated His All-Time Best MERGER TO GET ANOTHER LOOK Commissioner Pete Rozelle Says Failure Calls for Re-evaluation of One-League Plan Celler Gives Go-Ahead By Bill Sims (Aisisfsnt Sports Editor of The Star) PERHAPS the greatest thing that could have happened to Iowa State this season would have been the opportunity to completely reverse its schedule No one connected with the coaches players or fans hesitates to comment that this should be the best team ever in Coach Clay Sta- numbers 60 and Stapleton is happy not only with the additional numbers but the added talent available fed our offense will be improved as well as the Stapleton says is no doubt the over-all picture is better than it was last year at this time but our schedule may make it tough to improve on that 5-4-1 record may be overly impressed with this squad bat for the first time I feel we can compete with anyone in the Big Eight except Nebraska Of course knowing Boh Devaney like I do aad what a great psychologist he is interpret those words to mean tried to set him np for the kill probably use them to heat die hell oat of as not what I meant them for just trying to be realistic a fine football coach He has a fine the team to beat But I believe Nebraska is out of our reach think potentially this is the best football team had at Iowa State But while T- think we have our best team I also feel our conference is the best it has Van alder Key Man Probably die player most responsible for the enthusiasm about Iowa prospects is the most confident young man wearing a uniform in the Big

campaign A loquaefowr vonug man whose late father was backfield ccftch at Wisconsin Van Galder is not one to underrate his ability or that of his teammates Stapleton comments on that this way nothing I can tell you about Tim that he already told you Van Galder already is so keyed up about meeting Wisconsin in the opener in Madison that the coaches are fretting just a bit because they fear be so that it may affect his performance There certainly is no fear however that be looking past the first game Van prime aerial target will be Eppie Barney senior split end who really came into his own

and Colorado State Thus they met all of their top contenders for the first division in the Big Eight conference in the first six weeks of the season If they survive fairly well through this torturous period look out Stapleton is more optimistic this year than a kid locked in a candy store But it must be pointed out his optimism is tempered by the thought that even though there is more talent available this season than ever before the final record Cyclones Capsulized PREDICTED Fourth TEAM Excellent passing attack Solid running game Good sophomores as replacements on defense TEAM Lack of

Scoreboard Williams Young Score Victories At Riverside would be called off if Congress failed to act Celler chairman of the House judiciary committee and its antitrust subcjmmittee said he told Rozelle flatly he would not act on any legislation this year He said he advised Rozelle to go ahead with the merger however in view of the fact that neither the Justice department or any individual had filed suit attacking it The Senate has passed a bill that would provide a broad exemption for all major professional sports from the antitrust laws However Celler co-author of the Celler-Kefauver act which outlaws mergers held to be in restraint of trade has long been opposed to such exemptions He said he told Rozelle that granting congressional approval of the merger to the two professional football leagues would open the way for other businesses to try to get similar antitrust exemptions Golfers Set For Pro-Am In Carthage Carthage Mo A field of 22 professionals and 66 amateurs will tee

8-game winner rejoined the two weeks ago after recuperating from an appendectomy The Athletics cleared the deck for their encounters with Detroit last night whipping California 6-3 in the rubber game erf the series They moved into a virtual tie for seventh place with Washington and earned a 9-9 record with the Angels in the season series Krausse garnered his 12th victory and Aker his 24th save as the jumped their home record to 38-34 way the schedule is set Dark said can probably stay with a 3- or 4-man starting rotation There are some off days and no double-headers want to finish as high as possible We can finish seventh but have to beat Detroit and Baltimore to do After taking on the Tigers the rest Monday Then they play three games in Cleveland and two in Washington before returning to Municipal Stadium to face Baltimore and Cleveland in a 3-game series The wind up on the road against Baltimore and Detroit Both are 2-game sets The bullpen brigade also is primed for the seventh-place
