'I'M PRIME TRADE BAIT' ADMITS 0 r0 guess available to go I have no animosity because Of However Arnett adds that because traded mean that I will go anywhere I still want to play football but I have a lot of other things going for Among others there is the Jon Arnett Investment Co a multi-purpose business organization and a burgeoning interest in politics namely the presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater first I am a football player" he asserts By JERRY WYNN 1 Is Jon Arnett finished as a Ram? He thinks so T' realize I am prime trade Arnett says wistfully while breaking the silence which has bung heavily over his future with the Rams since the start of training this summer "The team needs players at cither positions and I Mark Up IS th my own self-satisfaction I want to prove that I am not over the hill silly only 29" the Ranjs for their part- are not talking They too feel that Arnett is not the But it is no secret in Ram camp that even before he reinjured his knee three weeks ago he did not figure prominently in the plans of coach Hariand Svare Nor is it a secret that Arnett and Svare seen eye-to-eye in past Moreover the Rams have eight talented Arnett Jim Phillips' Carroll Dale Marlin McKeever Duane Allen and rookies Willie Brown Bucky Pope and Mel Profit and will be able to keep only five or six of them The question next arises of Arnett's value on the trading block Once the most exciting runner in pro football and greatest open-field manipulator in Ram history Jaguar Jon has done little the last two years There have been reasons faulty Ram blocking change in coaching uncertainty of positior and most ominously a bad knee Bears Giants Browns Trade Prospects While such talent-rich teams as the Chicago Bears 1 New York Giants and Cleveland Browns probably would be interested in obtaining a player with past potential as a halfback it is doubtful whether they would be inclined to part with a first-string player or No 1 draft choice the Rams would demand in return To trade Arnett for anything less the Rams would have to face an almost certain strong fan and press reaction against- allowing a hero of his former magnitude to depart cheaply And so the dilemma mounts Arnett himself tries not to concern himself with public reaction to his problems 12 years of playing football learned not to worry about what the public thinks of you week to week The overall image is what Alston Hopeful of Closing Ground on 1 3-Game Home Stand 1 2 Back By GEORGE LEDERER I P-T Staff Wrttor law of averages is on the side said the Frank Robinson always average conscious He was as right as rain Actually the Dodgers had 113 club strikeout mark of set last year IN 101 games Howard has struck out 91 times After scoring two unearned runs in the second inning the DODGER OF DAY a' little more on their side Wednesday night as they ended a winning trip with a 4-1 nod over the Reds at Crosley Field They had Sandy Koufax who tossed a ive-hitter for his 18th win No 3 over the Reds Koufax the only Dodger to defeat the Reds this season was the stopper of the second osing streak since the All-Star game On July 22 he shut out Houston to end a four-game spin This time the drought had reached three games We fell back into our old rut during those three said manager Walter Alston Until then we had played as well at any time this Season SANDY KOUFAX Checked Reds on five hib fanned 10 as Dodgers won trip finale 1 Arnett Concerned About Injured Knee But the former USC all-America is bothered about the knee sprain which has dogged him the past three years hardest thing for any athlete is to be he says relationship with players and coaches becomes different I expect to be pampered when hurt the one who has to get back in there rather scrimmage every day than be Arnett however is optimistic that he will be ready to day shortly knee is not weak and there is no lack of motion I can lift 120 pounds with the leg just been And when he is ready he has no objection to playing end instead of halfback know it may sound corny' but I mind playing anywhere as long as I play You get so absorbed in a game you don't think of But when he is reauy to play the big Jon Arnett question is: Will it still be for the Rams?
