January 16th in New York to consider the matter Before that session the five league directors will huddle to discuss Finley's troubles with the Kansas City officials is my personal opinion that the American League will not make a checkerboard of this franchise by moving it from place to place from year to Cronin said would be very much against using the Kansas City franchise as a wedge or a hammer against the Kansas City Finley however posed the league a tough question by signing the contract No Discussions The grey haired Athletics owner argued are not even at liberty now to discuss a

Francisco is a question mark at best So where are you going to pick up the extra wins? Richter cannot buy the talk about an American Football League and NFL championship playoff think it is in the foreseable future regardless of what the players and AFL oficials said Les logically I think will be a merger of the leagues with the strongest clubs in the AFL joining the NFL present situation is fine for the players but the big salary fights are making it tough on the owners and after all they pay the bills The AFL has come a long way make no mistake about that However I still think San Diego could stand up against the pounding of the NFL defensive lines and work of the secondaries watched an Oakland-Houston game a couple of weeks ago and defense was practically non existent I do think-the team which molds a tough defense in the AFL will rule the league for several Disturbed By Deemphasis Talk Les is disturbed by the increasing talk about athletic deemphasis and curtailment there is one lesson you learn early and well in athletics it is that there is no fun glory or advantage in he told Rotarians is great to be a winner There is not enough emphasis on winning in our society today and this includes sports politics or business have too many middle of the road or pacifists who do not want to face the battle of winning or losing saw this very thing happen on the Rams When I joined that organization it was the most feared and respected in pro football Last year when I retired we were the doormats of the league Believe me it is no fun to be the doormat who had outstanding ability were satisfied just to go through the motions They would enter the locker room after a defeat in a light hearted mood and immediately forget the game "I never could and never will buy that thinking" On a more humorous vein he related some of the high points of the 1955 and 1958 seasons In the first the Rams won the Western Division title after being picked to finish 11th in a 12 team league and in the latter they tied for second after being relegated to the cellar only regret in pro football was not being able to play on a championship said Les Richter began his present work during the off season three years ago and has made rapid strides Riverside presently has an excellent road race track a half mile oval and a drag strip Future plans call for an enlarged oval an industrial park geared for all facets of speed racing an automotive museum improved pit facilities better customer comforts a skeet and trap club a motel complex and a golf course At one time road racing was primarily for sports cars but there is a trend toward using stock

Gurney Richard Petty Billy Wade A Foyt Fred Lorenzen and others Les does a lot of traveling to all parts of the country on his new occupation but he is always glad to return to his home town We might

UPI Heavyweight champion Sonny Liston sparred two rounds again today in preparation for his title bout with Cassius Clay in Miami Feb-ruaiy 25th Liston who has been working out here for the past 12 days held his first sparring-session yesterday when he I went two rounds with Leotis Martin hit me good with both Martin said seems as strong as Shofner while they usually only have one on me A good receiver should beat one de-fender because you know where going and he Will Play In Gifford looks forward to at least one more season of play although he says really know if they want me to come What he means is that he does not know if he will be sent a new contract but other sources indicate the Giants still are counting on him for at least another season However when he is finished Gifford will have no worries The collar ad guy is in big demand for commercials endorsements and such and in addition to aiming for his own television sports show does two sports news shows for WCBS radio The two best linemen who demolished him he grins were Bob Gain and Bob Toneff of Washington But considering that they get bigger stronger faster and tougher every season Gifford seems intent on playing one more year to embellish his returns from the players pension fund and then retire to a soft seat behind the microphone By Oscar Fraley MIAMI UPI He immortal Four Horsemen of Notre Dame gridiron glory asserts Frank Gifford of the New York Giants not even play in the National League of this era be much much too small to stand the said the handsome flanker back who was knocked out of action himself for one year "The size and ferocity of those defensive teams is And says Gifford the pro players overall get bigger and rougher every year Jimmy he points out with vast admiration for the 232 pound fullback of the Cleveland Browns first ball carrier to gain more than a mile of yardage in one season is 10 years ahead of the game adds Giffonl 10 years have a lot of Jimmy Browns fellows who are not only big and seemingly indestructible but also move with tremendous speed and maneuverability You might say that because of -multiple vitamins have multiple Jimmy It is opinion that at the end of another 10 year span a 300 pound lineman will be and that one of them will be able to move like sprint- Out In 1961 The 6 foot 1 inch 190 pounder from Bakersfield and the University of Southern California was out of action in 1961 He suffered a bad concussion when he was hit by Chuck Bednarik of the Philadelphia Eagles know what said Gifford was like being run over by a truck and I was out cold A lot of people said I ought to quit before I started walking around on my Gifford spent the 1961 season scouting for the Giants and concentrating on building up a planned radio and television career He still is going ahead with this and as a commentator for CBS worked the Playoff Bowl game Sunday But in 1962 he could not withstand the urge to get back into action and rejoined the Giants took me a long time to get back into he recalls feel I had a much better season this past year but playing with fellows like A Tittle and Del Shofner made it easier They have to put two defensive men
