Barney is a cornerback, left side, with the Lions. "They, call cornerback the hot spot on defense," Barney said Tuesday at Cranbrook before wrestling into his pads for the afternoon workout. "I started in college as a quarterback but I wasn't getting much action.

I asked to be switched to the corner because that's where the action "I was really elated when Russ Thomas and Joe Schmidt called and told me they'd drafted me," the six-foot, 196-pounder said. "My coach, Paige, and I discussed various times which team TA have the best chance with and we figured it would be the LIONS," Barney said. It's no secret the Lions were particularly vulnerable at left cornerback last season, a post occupied primarily by Bobby Thompson. ness to that of Green Bay's Adderley and San Fran-V: Cisco's Jimmy Johnson. And Adderley, is one ol Barney's heroes, along- with Bobby Jeter, the Packers' other cornerback.

"They're 'the greatest and I've tried' to pattern myself after them, watching the distance they play different guys from the line, what steps they use to come up and so on," Barney said. THIS WEEK the rookies are involved In the basics. Next week the veterans report and it will get tougher, but David says "A rookie can get used to practice.

Cannon took one look around, made a wry face and said: ANAHEIM IF THEY EVER get around to naming an All-Star executive in baseball, it would have to be none other; than William O. DeWitt. And it's about time somebody changed the ugly image he has had in Detroit ever since he tried to make something out of the Tigers in those desperate days of 1959-60. DeWitt ran things for about two years when Tiger Stadium was still known as Briggs Stadium, and when the Tigers still had more owners than fans.

He ran. things with such a firm hand that it had an unsettling effect on everyone in the organization, including the park policemen and jeanut vendors, The Tigers, as you well know, have never been known as the most imaginative operators in the game. They were among the last teams to install lights and among the last to sign Negro players. They operated by" protocol; everything had to go through channels. "'Well, DeWitt tried to swim those channels all by himself.

The Tigers were not ready for a man of his enterprise and energy. His moves were bold and shocking. He traded the most popular player on the team, Harvey Kuenn, and then he traded his manager, Jimmie Dykes. No one had ever had the audacity to trade a manager before, but DeWitt did it when he sent Dykes to the Cleveland Indians for Joe. Gordon.

DeWitt brought in Norm Cash, but people tend to forget that, and he shot off fireworks after the ball games, and some people' in the Tiger organization still haven't forgiven him for that. 'Stopped on a Lot of Toes' HIS TROUBLE was that he tried to do it alf by himself. He wouldn't delegate authority. He stepped on a lot of toes, and as it turned out, of these were the wrong toes. He was ousted after less than 24 months on the job, and when he left, he was portrayed as a Star games, in 1941 and 1951.
