RATE
etto NEW YORK (P)-Paul Hornung
of the Green Bay Packers and
Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions
were suspended indefinitely by the
National Football League yester-
opel day.
Five other Detroit players were
fined $2,000 each and the Detroit
club was fined $4,000 as a result
of an investigation into pro foot-
ball betting.
The five Detroit players were
fined $2,000 each for betting $50
each on the 1962 championship
game between the New York
Giants and Green Bay. The play-
ers are John Gordy, an offensive
guard; Gordy. Lowe, a defensive
halfback; Joe Schmidt, all-league
middle linebacker; Wayne Walk-
er, linebacker; and Sam Williams,
defensive end. They were not sus-
pended.
Commissioner Pete Rozelle su-
pervised the investigation and an-
nounced the findings at a news
conference in his office.
Other Probes
Rozelle said investigation of al-
.B. legations that Carroll Rosenbloom,
1 president of the Baltimore Colts,
had bet on league games, was not
completed. He pointed out that
Rosenbloom had denied the
charges in a sworn affidavit and
said the probe had- been delayed
by legal proceedings involving the
Baltimore owner. Rozelle prom-
S dS ised the Rosenbloom investigation
would be, completed in the near
future.
Lrig,
suspended
Rozelle said Hornung, the
league's most valuable player in
1961 with the champion Packers
but hobbled by injuries during
most of the 1962 season, had
placed bets on NFL and college
games in some instances reaching
the sum of $500, from 1959 through
1961.
Info Revealed
Rozelle said Hornung also had
transmitted specific information
concerning NFL games for betting
purposes. The commissioner said
this constituted serious breaches
of the player's contract and the
league's by-laws and constitution
which forbid betting on games.
He is a halfback.
Karras, the 250-pound defensive
tackle of the Lions who said in a
television interview he bet on
games but only for cigarettes and
cigars, was judged guilty of asso-
ciating with individuals described
by Detroit police as "known hood-
lums."
Six Bets
Rozelle said Karras had made
at least six significant bets on
NFL games since 1958 ranging
from $50 to $100. He said there
was no evidence of any criminal
wrongdoing or any evidence that
Karras sold information for bet-
ting purposes or ever bet against
his own team.
Asked when it would be possible
to review the indefinite suspen-
sions of Hornung and Karras,
Rozelle said: "The earliest that
any consideration could be given
to the review of their cases would
be in 1964."
Neither Hornung nor Karras
will receive any pay while under
suspension.

Lowe, Schmidt, Walker and Wil-
liams was said to have resulted
when Karras invited his Detroit
mates to watch the televised title
game at the home of a friend in
Miami while the squad was in the
Florida city last December.
The investigation revealed Kar-
ras bet $100 on Green Bay and
five teammates each bet $50 on
the Packers. Rozelle said there
were no other instances of betting
by the five men who were fined
the maximum $2,000 for a single
violation.
Club Fined
The Detroit club was fined
$4,000 because a report to Coach
George Wilson by the Detroit
Police Department .last August
"of certain associations by mem-
bers of the Detroit team" was not
forwarded to the proper club
authority and also because un-
authorized individuals were per-
mitted to sit on the Lions' bench
during games.
Rozelle said the league deeply
regretted that some players had
suffered mental anguish because
of inferences drawn in highly pub-
licized accounts of rumors or
partly developed facts. He gave
as example Bob St. Clair, San
Francisco tackle, and added,
"There is absolutely no evidence
of wrongdoing on the part of St.
Clair."
Casares Mentioned
Rick Casares, Chicago Bears'
fullback, also was mentioned
among those connected with gam-
blers through rumors. "The league
investigation developed no evi-
dence to support such charges,"
said Rozelle.,
The commissioner also said
many players technically violated
the rules by betting on $1 football
cards and making token bets of
little value with friends. He said
these players, not mentioned by
name, had been reprimanded- and
no further action on them was to
be expected.
Hornung Wagers
In the Hornung case, Rozelle
said the Packers' star halfback

be they square, flat, or rounded
for that collegiate cut.
U of M BARBERS
near Kresge's
met a wealthy unnamed West
Coast businessman, prior to the
East-West college game in 1956 at
San Francisco. He said the man
bet on college and pro games and
developed the habit of calling
Hornung with football queries.
Rozelle said Hornung began
placing bets on NFL and college
games in 1959 through his friend.
They normally talked twice a
week by phone. He said the Notre
Dame graduate usually bet $100
or $200 but on several instances
bet $500.
Pattern Continued
The pattern was said to have
continued through 1960 and 1961.
but ceased during the 1962 season.
Rozelle said Hornung broke even
in his betting, except for one sea-
son when he made $1,500. He said
there was no evidence he ever
bet against the Packers or sold in-
formation for betting purposes or
performed less than his best.

Sophomore Steve August won't be walking around campus with
his letter sweater this spring. He won't be traveling with any varsity
squad while he is at Michigan. In fact, he won't even attract an inad-
vertent gaze from a varsity coach. Yet he may very well be one of the
best athletes at the University right now. The reason? Steve is
National Intercollegiate handball champion.
Steve won the national title last Friday in Miami. Owing to
his runner-up position in last year's tourney. Steve was seded first.
Besides his most recent victory, Steve has an impressive total of
other conquests under his belt.
In the last two years he has finished out of the first four places
in a tournament only once. The modest 20-yea-old from Farmington
has copped titles ranging from local to national. Last year he won the
National Juiior Singles Championship in Chicago.
"The Junior Championship meant more to me than the inter-
ollegiates because I had never won a national tournament until then,"
remarked August. "I started out as seventh-ranked and after four
years finally made it to the top."
In addition to the Intercollegiate singles championship and the
National Junior title, Steve has won the Michigan YMCA singles,
YMCA doubles, and state opendoubles championships.
Breakfast of Champions?
Steve's accomplishments are even more impressive than they
appear. He rarely works out. He has been playing the game for only
six years. He has never had a professional coach or paid for a lesson.
"In high school I worked out three or four times a week," said Steve,
"but up here I only play about once a week. Time limits me as well as
the fact that there is not too much
competition for me in Ann Arbor.
As long as I play regularly every
week, I'm O.K. Once a week is
enough to keep me in shape."
August's training habits are
conspicuously modest alongside
those of runners or swimmers who
work out three or four hours a
day every day. Handball is a de-
manding game that involves
quickness, endurance, precision,
strength, and strategy. August's
accomplishments are snothing
short of amazing when one con-
siders the ordinary practice de-
mands which go into the making
of a champion. ;ยข: +....
Steve admits, though, that he STEVE AUGUST
ran track last week before the in-
tercollegiate tournament. Nevertheless he insists that "playing the
game is the best way to stay in shape."
With a Little Bit of Luck..
His father, Dr. Alvin August, introduced Steve to the game. Within
a year Steve had captured the Detroit Junior Handball title; an honor
that he renewed for the next five years. Dr. August is also developing
Steve's younger brother, Larry, who is now 15. Steve proudly mentions
that his brother was the youngest player ever to compete in the
National Junior championships.
Handball is played almost exclusively in the U.S., Ireland,
South America, and Israel. The Irish brought the game over here,
where it developed great popularity, especially in the East. In the
East the game is played against a wall. In the rest of the country
handball isplayed against three, or four walls.
Steve competes in three and four-wall tournaments. His three-wall
doubles partner, Ken Davidoff Of Brooklyn, N.Y., is national one-wall
champion. The three- and four-wall games are the most widely used
in tournament play.
A new development which is helping handball is the glass-walled
court. According to August, "Handball has been held back by the diffl-
culty in finding seating for spectators." In certain parts of the country
the construction of the new glass-walled stadiums should prove 'a
boon to the game. For example, the University of Texas is building
a 12,000-seat stadium exclusively for handball.
With the increasing popularity of the sport, Steve's future looks
especially bright. "I plan to play until I'm too old to move," he says.
Perhaps his victory last Friday was an omen, for it came on Steve's
birthday. At any rate, he's a man to keep your eye on: If he starts
working out every day, God only knows ...
