Theres a new group. of boys in every few years and its up to the team when it comes up with a winning record.

only hope they dont concentrate on one sport. Ive always been a backer of tennis and Im for promoting sports where all the boys can compete," com-cludea Ganger. Ottawa High School principal Dr. Robert Kerr also ige is oehl peopl very good feeling to have a football team. I was im- Its a mages.

This is the first season the school has scheduled regular, competition. It has nine games on the 1963 schedule. Head coach" Bob Williams, a graduate of Bowling Green State University, brought a solid background of coaching experience to Ottawa. He served previously as coach at Eastwood, Elmwood and Gallipoli high schools. Ottawa has no home field as yet but backers and school officials are hoping the Lancers will acquire one in the near future.

In the meantime the teams home games will be played on neighboring fields. The Lancers next game is scheduled Friday night at Liberty-Benton. Liberty-Benton opened the season last weekend by whipping Perry, 20-8. Ottawa is a village of approximately 3,245. The school has an enrollment of 340 and is a product of the old Ottawa High School and Sts.

Peter and Paul School. Next year the high school students will be moving into a new building. Ottawa and Glandorf will merge and the new school in 1964 will be known as Ottawa-Glandorf High School. By CHUCK DELL News Assistant Sports Editor -OTTAWA Ottawa High Schools first football team in history made its debut last weekend. The team -went down to defeat.

34-14, at the hands of Pandora-Gilboa but fan enthusiasm in this Putnam County Village hasnt been In fact, after talking with some of the townspeople, one would think the team had come up with a victory in its first outing. I think its a wonderful thing for the town," commented barber Charles Smith. "The people here are very enthused. Weve been without a team too long. And -the fans are 100 per cent behind the coach and even though many expect a losing season." Nate Ganger, owner and manager of Wise Clothing store inOttawa, -'is another resident who is happy about ttfs new football team.

"I think a football team certainly gives the school' spirit, (opined Ganger. Questioned about his opinion on how long it would be before the Ottawa team could post a winning record, Ganger 'replied. pressed with what the boys learned in the short time they -were together before the season opened Per-onally I think the team did very well in its opener against Pandora-Gilboa." Kerr is considered a good judge of football teams. He was coach at Anderson (Ind.) College and the University of New Hampshire prior to accepting the job at the Ohio high school.

1 football team In Limaland could get complicated. There appears to be little doubt that Shawnee now has a strong hold on the top spot, but If things continue to go as they did In the first game, the Indians might challenge for the two top spots. That Is, Shawnee's first team might be rahk-' ed No. 1 and its second team No. 2: Of course, that's an exaggeration.

Shawnee's second team really Isn't that good. But ft may play a valuable role in the Indians' bid for a straight undefeated season. The No. 2 unit played on three offensive series and two defensive series in the 4(H) triumph Elida Friday. Shawnee and Elida each had the ball for nine series.

The Indians scored oh five drives, and three of the four times they got the ball in the 1 second half. The No. 2 unit tallied one of those touchdowns. No. 2 Team Serves Purpose Indian coach Jim Young admitted that he did not alternate two teams as he had thought he might.

"But we accomplished our purpose," he said. "We 'wanted the second team to play more than it would normally, and we panted to rest the first team. "They (second team) slowed Elida when we were on defense, and enabled us to rest the first team so it could be rested when it came in on defense." Young explained that the system does have its advantages even though the second team does not have the size or experience of the No. 1 unit. The second team may not be quite as good but its players are fresh and can go all out when they are in the game.

Core, Venne, Glanion Honored Quarterback Core and right endYern Venne won the coaches awards as back and lineman of the week for the Elida contest -They combined for two touchdowns on' passes. "They, also were selected for their blocking and general all-around play, Young related. The lanky Core cut loose with 10 passes, completing seven for 139 yards: Venne latched on to three aerials for 73 yards. 160-pound senior, end Jehind the Elida defense and took a 36-yard peg from Core for the first Shawnee score and wrestled the ball away- from a Bulldog defender in" the end zone for a 22-yard pass completion and another touchdown, the Indians second of the game, Although the fans who saw Fridays game didnt see him in action, Bill Gian ton received the third coaches for the week, It's called the Lancer Award and goes to the player who does the best fob of running the oping team's plays in practices' during the week re the game. Gian ton is a 155-pound sophomore halfback.

their attention. The Cardinals, Who made it 13 out of their. last 14 with a workmanlike S-0 win over the Cubs Tuesday night; keep applying the pressure but this time the Dodgers aren't buckling. I the Dodgers keep going on the I rather risky theory that lightning Icant possibly i the same race twice. Dont bet on it! First of all this isnt quite the I same race the Dodgers- lost last Koufax, and their three-game lead looks far more comfroting than the 1)4 game margin they held a year ago today.

Grandpa Stan Musial and pitcls-erBob Gibson were the Cardinal Tsitouris Praises triumph. The 42-year-old Musial, who became a grandfather for the first time earlier in the day, played only four innings but drove in two runs with a first-inning home: off laser Glen Hobbie and another with a single in the second. Musials homer was his 11th of the season and 474th of his career while Gibson's three run homer in the second inning was his third of the-yeir. Shortstop Dick Groat returned SLjxuis Mqeupjftqjrjnis-sing five gams, and contributed a single and a double. to up his National League leading average to 930.

Koufax erased his own NL strikeout record in fanning nine Pittsburgh batters route to his 23rd victory in 38 decisions. The classy Dodger southpaw, who. set old mark of. strikeouts in 1961, now has 276, and his 23 wine in one season also constitutes an ell-time record for ell Dodger left-handers. Nap Rucker and Preacher Roe shared the previous mark of 22 victories in a single season, j-Koufax allowed six hits, including Roberto Clementes 16th homer in the eighth inning, but by that time the Dodgers already cored all four of their nun off loser Don Cardwell.

They ahead on three singles in the first inning, picked up another in the sixth on an error by third Bailey and Wally Moon clinched the outcome with a two-run homer in the seventh. Cincinnati shaded Milwaukee, 4-3, New York beat San Fran-cisco, 4-2, and Philadelphia defeated Houston, 89, in other NL con ts. Over in the American I the Athletics blanked the Yankees, 2-9, the Twins beat the 84, 'the Orioles edged foe White Sox, 2-1, the Senators won their opener with the Tgets, 89, but fast- the nightcap, 4-1, and the Angels dipped the Red Sox, in -10- Hammering' Henry had three hits to raise his batting average to .334, four points below Dick Groat of St. Louis;" and moved well in front in the homer and runs-batted-in races. Gordy Coleman drove home two Cincinnati runs with his 13th third in Jwo and a double.

John. Edwards also hit for the circuit for the Reds. But it was-gritty pitching by Tsitouris, who was often in trouble but left 11 Milwaukee runners oh base, which in the end proved to' be die difference. John worked eight innings to gain credit for his ninth victory against eight losses, and Bill Henry gave him an assist in the ninth after Aaron' opened the inning with his 'third hit Henry' got Eddie Mathews to fly out and reserve catcher Bob Uecker got into the game in the sixth inning after Joe Torre was ejected1 by plate umpire Ken Burkhart for carrying on an argument over a quick pitch by losing pitcher Bob Shaw in the fifth inning.

Gene Freese sat out the game with a recurrence of the groin injury that has given him considerable trouble in die past month.
