ATLANTA, Ga. (') -- Greg
Landry, unheralded qcarterback
from Massachusetts, will duel
college football's 1967 glamour
boy, Gary Beban, in the Coaches
All-American football game to-
night.
Landry, rangy running and
passing whiz almost unknown
outside of New England, will
direct the East with pass-catch-
ing ace Dennis Homan of Ala-
bama expected to be his prime
passing target.
Beban, Heisman Trophy win-
ner from UCLA, will quarter-
back the West, ranked as , a
touchdown favorite going into
the nationally televised game.
The battle will be telecast by
ABC, starting at 8:30 p.m. EDT.
A crowd of about 30,000 is ex-
pected.
Both West Coach Dee Andros
of Oregon State and East Coach'
John Pont of Indiana plan to
give their players plenty of rest,j
although cool temperatures are
predicted.
"We'll try to play everybody,"
Pont said. -
Beban, who has not been im-
pressive in practice, will be backed
up in the game by Billy Stevens
of Texas-El Paso. Alternating

at quarterback for the East will
be Georgia Tech southpaw Kim
King.
Landry, headed for a pro test
with the Detroit Lions, hit on
three of eleven passes for 99 yards
in last winter's North - South
game at Miami, his only previous
All-Star test.
Beban, who has signed with
the Washington Redskins, said
his passing arm has been a little
rusty in practice. But the versa-
tile Bruin promised "to have the
adrenalin flowing" for the game.
The UCLA standout will be
throwing to Phil Odle of Brig-
ham Young, Charles Sanders of
Minnesota and Tulsa's. Rick
Eber, who caught 78 passes last
fall.
Running assignments for the
West will be handled by Ron
Shotts of Oklahoma and Charlie
Smith of Utah, with explosive
Max Anderson of Arizona State
counted on for spot assignments.
The East will call on burly Lar-
ry Csonka of Syracuse and elusive
Walter Chadwick of Tennessee
for ball-carrying duties, with
Aaron Marsh of -Eastern Ken-
tucky, John Eason of Florida A&
M and Freddie Hyatt of Auburn!
sharing pass-catching chores with
Homan.
Both clubs may have trouble
moving the ball against the de-
fensive standouts picked for the
game.
The West will rely on linemen
Granville Liggins of Oklahoma
and Wayne Meyland of Nebraska
and linebackers Adrian Young of
Southern Cal and Fred Carr of
Texas El Paso.
Anchoring the East defensive
line will be Kevin Hardy of Notre
Daihe, Claude Humphrey of Ten-

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER Gary Beban talks over tonight's
All-America game with guard Granville Liggens of Oklahoma.
Bebant, from UCLA and now Washington Redskin property, will
face Greg Landry of Massachusetts in the East-West battle of
pro rookies. Few outside of the New England area had heard of
Landry until the Detroit iLions selected him in the first round
of the pro draft.

Lewis of Mississippi State and
backs Frank Loria of Virginia

Both Andros and Pont said the
lack of practice time could ham-
per their attacks.
"We'll do a lot of passing-
we'll have to against the East

The East leads the series, 4-3,

emergency meeting between rep-
resentatives of the Players' Asso-j
ciation and an owner delegation
was scheduled for today in Detroit.
John Gordy of the Detroit
Lions, president of the association,
and vice president King Hill, Phil-
adelphia Eagles quarterback, re-
portedly led the association dele-
gation.
Owner Art Modell of the Cleve-1
land Browns is the chief spokes-1
man for the owners.
The association not only took
a strike vote but also wrote to
Rep. Emmanuel Celler, (D-N.YJ,
requesting that the congressman
check alleged inequities in the
players' financial situation as a
result of the pro football merger.
Celler reportedly replied to the
association letter. He allegedly
promised to look into the situa-
tion and to reopen congressional,
hearings on the football merger if
it violated any trust law.
The players wrote Celler that
pro football commissioner Petej
Rozelle had promised the merger
would benefit the health and
welfare of the players.
They reportedly contended that
Modell has contradicted Rozelle's
statement. The Cleveland owner
reportedly said that if the current
player demands were met it would
jeopardize the merger.
Earlier, Hill was quoted in a
newspaper story as saying, "I
think we've made it evident we
can carry out a strike if neces-
sary."
SECOND TIME:
Hill discussed from his Houston
home the worst labor crisis in the
history of the NFL. The owners
and the Players Association ap-,
parently have reached an impasse
over association demands. Among
other things the players are ask-
ing $500 each for an exhibition
game, $100,000 from each club
in the pension plan and a $15,000
minimum salary.
- The owners reportedly would
try to field teams of their rookies
and farmhands if the association
struck. Hill said of this, "I don't
think the young players would
go through with it. There are 640
of us and they'll have to play
against us some day. Anyway,
we're doing this for them, too."
Hill said the association is
ready for give-and-take negotia-
BULLETIN
LOS ANGELES (4) - Michi-
gan's Ron Kutschinski was in-
cluded in a list released yes-
terday of 16 athletes who will
be allowed to attend the final
U.S. Olympic trials at Lake Ta-
hoe despite not having pre-
viously qualified. All of the
track stars were prevented from
qualifying by illness or injuries.
Kutschinski, who recorded,

tions. "We don't feel that every
rookie on the squad should get
$500 for an exhibition," he said.
"There could be some kind of
scale. But the way things go, it's
the veterans, not the rookies, who
play in these exhibitions."
Hill broke his hand last Aug. 12
in an exhibition game against the
Minnesota Vikings and didn't play
for two months. That was for the
$10 a day the NFL pays in train-
ing season.
The owners have agreed to raise
the minimum salary to $10,000.
Hill says this is meaningless since
nobody is making less than $12,000
now. "That was the figure agreed
upon when the leagues merged.
'And something must be done
about our pension plan, which is
about one-third that of baseball.
Most veteran players without
carryover contracts have not been
signed by NFL teams. Hill, said of
this, "that's going to be a prob-
lem. Let's say we have only three
or four days to negotiate our con-
tracts. That puts a lot of pressure
on us. And I hear there are 30
Eagles unsigned." "
Hill said he believes both sides
have been afraid of losing face.
"Well, we're willing to make the
first move. We'll exhaust every
possibility before we do something
drastic. We know a strike could
hurt football. After all, we're foot-
ball people not labor people. It's
tough getting in shape running up
and down these hotel corridors."

fending ,champion Boston Red
Sox, who will lead the AL team
in its effort to break a five-year
losing streak against the Nation-
al League the night of July nine

McLain was the starting pitch-
er in the 1966 game at St. Louis,
pitching three perfect innings.
McDowell, 7-6 and the league
leader in strikeouts, pitched two
innings in the 1965 game at Min-
nesota, giving up a run in the
seventh and winding up as the
losing pitcher in a 6-5 NL vic-
tory. The Cleveland fireballer was
also selected for the 1966 squad,
but came up with arm trouble
and was replaced by teammate
Sonny Siebert.
Stottlemyre, 9-4, was 'picked
to the 1965 team but didn't get
into the game. He pitched two
scoreless innings, giving up one
hit, in 1966. The Yankee sinker
ball ace has three shuouts to his
credit this season.,
