you're not interested.n
I'm writing this column propped up on a tired elbow smacke

the temperature is in the seventies unless it's in the sixties. I'me
in the process of being overwhelmed by the adjective-defying beautya
that surrounds, engulfs, and perhaps even includes me right now. E
I'm going to attempt to write a stream of consciousness f
(or more precisely, unconsciousness) image of this majesty, this C

vibrant heaven I just plopped into, by God.a
I'm sniffing now. My nostrils are literally crammed with grass
(which makes it quite a task to scribble legibly). I smell life inh
this compote of grass, weeds, two and three leaf clovers, black ants,s
and shrivelled leaves. It's not all that pleasant as aromas go; Ig
mean, I'd hate to eat a grass pie, but it smells green and fresh8
like and unripened tomato on the vine.
The best thing about grass is that it's so wonderfully pullable.
You grab a blade, apply a bit of pulling force, and feel this lovelys
tautness, a perceptible tension, and then th edull pop and its broken.t
And the great thing about pulling grass is that you don't\ damage r
the plant by doing it. It's like cutting its hair, not ripping a flower
from its stem. Grass was made to be pulled. I'll bet you didn't know
that what we think of as gress is not the leaf of the plant, but the
stem. Learned that in a bubble gum quiz.
About 30 yards from me stands this green can that says REFUSEI

they mean. From this angle it looks like it's for trash, but I'll be
damned if I'm going to get up and check.

cuticles here, that's simply crass.

You might think that the Mich-
gan defensive secondary had seen
more than their share of great
quarterbacks and flashy, deceptive
ends for one grid season.
After all, the Wolverines watch-
ed 41 passes take flight from the
accurate arms of North Carolina's
Danny Talbott and Jeff Beaver, 24
of the aerials finding their mark
for 199 yards. Michigan fought
Cal's dazzling field general, Dan
Berry, who danced for 73 yards
and completed 40 per cent of his
tosses.
And don't forget Preston Ridle-
huber, Georgia's quarterback,
scampering for 61 yards on the
ground .while his team picked up
80 more yards on the air waves.
MSU wasn't lacking in this key
department either, as Steve Ju-
day connected on eight of 17
strikes for 119 yards, while the
Wolverine safeties did their best to
restrain end Gene Washington.

Just last week, the Blue de-
fenders played their hearts out
against one of the best collegiate
signal callers, Bob Griese, who un-
leashed his own version of the
London blitzkrieg. When the Wol-
verines successfully defended his
top receiver, Bob Hadrick, the
Purdue junior found two others
in Jim Bierne and Jim Finley
who were just as able to pull in
the pinpoint passes.

In five games, "Hank" has
thrown for 725 yards, completing

son. The Minnesota senior was
able to practice later in the year,
and the extra experience helped
him develop into a top quarter-
back.
Like Griese, Hankinson has sev-
eral good targets to hit from the
wing-T and pro-type spread for-
mations the Gophers employ.
Speaking of the Minnesota receiv-
ers, Nelson said, "The very fact
that the Gophers have so many
competent pass - catchers makes
their passing attack much more
potent. It's difficult to concentrate
on any one receiver and bottle
up their air game."
The leading receiver for the
Gophers this season has been sen-
ior end Kent Kramer, who haul-
ed in 17 passes in their first four
contests. Ken Last, who has seen
duty at the halfback and end
slots, has found the handle on
nine Hankinson bombs.

Although he missed two games
because of a fractured jaw, highly
touted end Aaron Brown, 6'4"-
230, will be - at full strength
against the Wolverines. Setting a
Minnesota record for the most
passes received in a single season
in 1964, Brown was named to the
All-Big Ten team.

These trees, too much. That crab apple with its hairdo so
perfect with those orange-brown leaves teased over its squat
trunk, the billowy oaks, Blondey the poplar, those stolid, steady
pines. It's more fantastic without my glasses because the trees
blend together.
Funny how the individual leaves, full of holes and draining of
life, make this inspiring scene. Maybe like humans, no probably the
opposite. Well, in two weeks the leaves will be dun and done. Why
in hell, must there be winter. Yes, I know if it wasn't for winter

T~r7HE GENERAL sRElI
Another spine-tingling baseball season has ended, and the
National League has once again emerged as an unsweating champion
over a bloodied, fatigued American League.
This time around, the senior circuit dominated the major league
all-star team, latched on to the World Series, picked up another all-
star game victory, and even was kind enough to preview the coming
attractions by winning two-thirds of the preseason exhibition games.
Yet the bush league fans remain unconvinced. The patriotic
loyal, lugheads unflinchingly support the riff-raff, foolishly believing
a separate but equal policy is still in existence.
Tiger lovers, Yankee fans, and enemies of autocracy, let's face
the sad truth. The National League is'superman, and the American
League doesn't even have a piece of Kryptonite to throw at the
hitters. Zoilio Versalles, who will either win or finish high in the
Most Valuable Player voting, couldn't make the joint all-star team.
The AL is like a family deodorant trying to do a man's job. It's
derringer trying to out-shoot a tommy gun. Sandy Koufax can make
more money endorsing arthritis pain-killers than any American
League pitcher draws on salary. When Met reject Felix Mantilla is
their best second baseman, you just know that the lush days are over.
The quality of American League baseball clearly leaves
something to be desired unless you haven't outgrown a good Pony
League or American Legion game. But the most tragic weakness
of all is its failure in the non-performing aspects of the sport.
After all, somebody has got to be worse. In the old days prior
to Babe Ruth's flop in the National League, the Yankees made
their division the big cheese. Sure the National League was lousy
but it still had all the class.
Who did the American League have to compare with Fred (Bone-
head) Merkle? Tinkers, Evers, and Chance never even made 20
double plays in one season. Yet no one wrote any poems about Cros-
setti, Lazzeri, and Gehrig.
The old time Dodgers led by Wilbur Robinson once had three
men caught on third base at the same time. Now that's the sort of
achievement that gives a league character even if it never wins the
World Series.
The trouble now is that the National League is not only
superior, but it also has all the color and special attractions.
You can overlook the fact that the leading homerun hitter in
the American League was 20 behind Willie Mays' total and that the
AL had a paucity of 20-game winners, if they had some compensat-
ing advantages.
But the best thing in the circuit was Bo Belinsky and he was
traded to the National League.
Even in mundane accessories like stadiums, the AL looks bad.
They have Fenway Park which is fairly ridiculous, but it just doesn't
compare to the NL sites. Look at the Astrodome, for example. Name
one American League park that has imitation grass and has used
cerise baseballs. And what other arena besides Candlestick Stadium
sells fish and chips?
The White Sox think they're unique because they sell kosher hot
'dogs. Big deal. Every delicatessen in Chicago sells kosher hot dogs,
but low many sell fish and chips?
This year's special events help prove the point. A season, high-
light has been the efforts of the city of Milwaukee to sue the Braves.
Man, that's a swinging piece of legal action if there ever was one. If
baseball is going to get dragged into court, it might as well play it
up big. The American League meanwhile is living on remembrances
of Ted Williams being hit with an injunction for spitting into a
crowd. Typically bush league material.
Look at riots. Juan Marichal slugs John Roseboro with a bat
in the wildest, most exciting fight ever. So the American simply

MONTREAL - Baltimore and
Minneapolis - St. Paul appear the
favorites to complete the National
Hockey League's second division
which now has four of its six new
cities.
San Francisco - Oakland a n d
Vancouver are the newest NHL
cities. Both were approved by the
League's Board of Governors yes-
terday and join Los Angeles and
St. Louis which had been approved
last summer for the second divi-
sion.
NHL President Clarence Camp-
bell said two groups were bidding
for the San Francisco - Oakland.
and Vancouver franchises. Camp-
bell explained that the Boardof
Governors had only approved the
new cities, but that the actual
franchises had not yet been
awarded.
Still competing for the remain-
ing two berths in the six-team
division expected to start playing
by 1967 are Philadelphia, Buffalo,
and Pittsburgh as well as Balti-
more and the Twin Cities.
NBC Lands Contract
CHICAGO - The major league
sold the television and radio rights
for baseball's World Series, All-
Star game and selected games of
the week to the National Broad-
casting Co. yesterday in a three-,
year contract totalling $30.6 mil-
lion.
Most of these games will be
shown Saturday afternoons, the
announcement said, but provision
was made for possible night
games during the week-Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Only one game will be televised
each week on the network.
After the television announce-
ment, made by John E. Fetzer,
president of the Detroit Tigers
and chairman of baseball's Tele-
vision Committee, the directors
went into another session to try
to pick a commissioner to succeed
the retiring Ford Frick.

Cards Hire Sisler
ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis
Cardinals announced the hiring
Tuesday of former Cincinnati
Reds' Manager Dick Sisler as a
coach.
'Sisler, fired as Reds manager
after this baseball season, will be
the first base coach, replacing the
departed Mickey Vernon. The
Cardinals also will use him as a
batting coach.
Schoendienst said he was count-
ing on Sisler to provide intelli-
gence reports on other National
League opponents.
"Of course, he'll have ideas
about other ball clubs, their hit-
ters and pitchers," Schoendienst
said. "We'll put our ideas together
and come to a happy medium."
