', 4EPTEMBER 15, 1963 inois Should Improve Status in Big Ten Race TOR'S NOTE: This is' the a a series of articles analyz- upcoming Big Ten football gn. Today's article deals with FLORIDA LOSES, 9-0: Lothridge Leads in IGeorgia Teelh Win, a crunching 208-pound fullback who can hit the line like a knife. Key Position The key to the Illini plans for this year is the quarterbacking. Mike Talliaferro and Ron Fearn are contesting for the starting spot. Neither have brilliant ca- reers behind them. Taliaferro threw 212 times com- pleting 80 for 1139 yards in 1962. The percentage is not electrifying, but neither was his line and ends. Fearn sat out last season with in- juries, but at this moment he is considered number one at the po- sition. Not spectacular, but a steady performer, he does more handing off than passing.- The Illini are still weak at end, Thurman Walker, having grad- uated, Sophomore Eddie Russell might help out, some, but the position is undoubtedly soft. Beef Trust The Illinois passers and runners will be helped by the league's largest line. Center Dick Butkus is the anchor of this aggregation. Butkus is a former Chicago grid star who played quarterback in his high school days. Elliott switched him to,.the line and he took to it like a termite in a se- quoia. Many observers see Butkus as a future All-American as a center and linebacker. Butkus is flanked by mountain- ous Archie Sutton, 260-pound tackle, Bill Minor and Todd Ga- bert. A crew of other huskies ,in- cluding Dick Deller and Bob Easter vie for guard spot. Rich Callaghan is solid at de- fensive end, but the other end spot may be, weak. Elliott has mov- ed fullback Greg Schumacher to the position in an attempt to bol- ster it. Opponents may do a lot of running around end this season. Illinois has fair depth in the backfield with fleet Trenton Jack- son, Cecil Young and George Wineland at the halves and Al Wheatland at full. Fred Custardo is supposed to be a coming sopho- more quarterback, and Dick Kee is a promising scatback. ATLANTA ().- Georgia Tech kept its string of 37 consecutive home opening football victories intact yesterday, beating the Florida Gators 9-0 in the nation- ally televised first major college game of the season in a cold, steady rain. Tech's strong defense kept the Gators bottled up in their own ter- ritory most of the game. Florida's deepest penetration was to Tech's 30 at the start of the second half. Quarterback B i 11 y Lothridge, Tech's "Mr. Do-It-All," booted a 35-yard field goal with 3:30 re- maining in the first half. Halfback Joe Auer drove over from the 9- yard line with 5:35 remaining in the third period. Lothridge missed the extra point. Tech's powerful defense held the Gators to minus five yards rush- ing. The Gators also were hurt badly by several crucial 15-yard penalties. Florida was penalized 75 yards. Florida's left-handed quarter- back, Tom Shannon, was time and again thrown for big losses by Tech's hard-rushing line. The Gators also rushed Loth- ridge hard and he was able to complete only four of 11 passes for 41 yards. Tech went into the shotgun of- fense in the second period with Lothridge passing from several yards behind the line of scrim- mage, but they were unable to gain. Florida attempted to make a first down on fourth and one at its own 34, but a mixup in signals gave Tech the ball. On fourth down halfback Joe Auer ran 13 yards around left end for a first down at Florida's 14. However, the Gators held and moved Tech back to the Florida 18. On fourth down Lothridge boot- ed a 35-yard field goal for Tech's first score. Tech missed another chanceto score a few plays later when a blocked punt rolled out of the end zone. The play was called back when Tech was penalized five yards for being offside. Then a bad snap from center on the next play gave Tech the ball at the Florida 8, but back Ken Russell intercepted a Lothridge pass and Florida ran out the clock. 7 .,I B eman Defeats Sikes 2 and I, Takes Second Amateur Title I I I DES MOINES, Iowa (P)-Clock- steady Deane Beman defeated an erratic Dick Sikes 2 and 1 yester- day in a tense 36-hole final for the United States Amateur Golf Championship. The 25-year-old Bethesda, Md., insurance man annexed his second national title mainly because of a five-hole winning streak that started late in the morning round and carried over into the after- noon. However, it was his trusty put- ter that brought him a birdie on the 32nd hole from 18 feet and closed any chances that Sikes might have had of staging a late rally. The five-hole surge lifted Be- man from 3 down to 2 up over Sikes, the National Collegiate king from Arkansas, who eight times drove off the fairway before lunch and then fought a bulky putter most of the way in the day's second trip over the wooded hills of the Wakonda Club's 6,896 yards. Beman first won the U.S. Ama- teur in 1960; a year after he had taken the British title. Since, his 1960 triumph overseas, the stocky, father of three daughters has been the low amateur in the 1962 U.S. open, played on three Walker Cup teams, three America's Cup teams and two world amateur squads. The restless Sikes, who charges from tee to green like a fireman answering a general alarm, looked headed for a runaway before Be- man started his five-hole rally on the 15th by sinking a 10-foot birdie putt. Beman cut his deficit by another hole on the 16th when the former Public Links champion missed the green and lost to a par. Beman stuck a No. 6 iron shot 30 inches from the flag for a birdie deuce on No. 17, and then wedged one to eight feet from the hole on the 18th for a birdie three that gave him a 1-up edge before they went to lunch. When play was resumed, Sikes sent his second on the 19th over the green and the ball rolled down the steep incline into a pocket in a gravel path below. A study of the rule book showed that it was not a hazard and the slen- der Arkansan chipped out, the ball going only half way up the slope. Sikes' desperate try for a par from the uphill lie was short and Beman posted a calm par for an- other winner. That made Beman's edge 2 up, but he missed the green with his approach on the 24th and Sikes drew even on the 26th when he knocked in a 13-foot downhill putt for a birdie. Beman went ahead again on the 28th when Sikes' strong second shot bounced on the green and hopped into a trap. Then came Beman's decisive deuce on the 32nd. Only twice during the day did the poker-faced Beman, whost pe- tite wife trudged ,all of the 10 rounds the winner needed to re- gain the crown, show any emotion. The first time was on the sixth hole of the morning round when his second shot wandered slightly off the line into the rough and the ball was imbedded in the soft turf. He showed displeasure when he found that a spectator had stepped on the ball while trying to get out of the way. He finally was per- mitted to lift. The second time came at the ninth hole when Deane looked up just before putting and saw his father and mother, whom he thought to be in Bethesda. They had flown in unexpectedly. The incident interrupted his concen- tration and Beman missed the putt. He was one over par for the final two rounds while Sikes was three over. "I only had one bad hole-the sixth this afternoon where I hit the wrong club out of the rough," Beman stated. "I'm very happy I played this steady-usually in match play I'm up and down. "Boy, I got a couple of bad breaks I didn't think I had com- ing," said Sikes. "But I didn't putt very well." SPORT SHORTS: St. Louis Whips Dallas In NFL Opener, 34-7 --Daily--Jim Lines FIGHTING ILLINI-These four Illinois players are expected to be in the vanguard of a bid by the Illini to make the first division of the conference. Ron Fearn (11) and Mike Talliaferro (14) are seeking the quarterback position on Coach Pete Elliotts team. Fearn sat out all of last season with injuries while Talliaferro completed 80 of 212 passes in 1962 for Illinois. Dick Butkus (50) is a center and linebacker. He received considerable acclaim as a sophomore and stardom is predicted for him this year. Sam Price (47) is a highly touted sophomore halfback with plenty of speed and power. By The Associated Press DALLAS -- Charley Johnson's passing, Bill Triplett's running, a 58-yard dash with an intercepted pass by Jimmy Hill and Dallas mistakes gave the St. Louis Cardi- nals a 34-7 victory in an opening National Football League game last night. , Jim Bakken also kicked field goals of 43 and 45 yards. Dallas continued frustrated. It never has been able to beat St. Louis although heavily favored to make it this time. . The best opening crowd in Dal- las' four years of NFL member- ship--36,432-turned out in the Cotton' Bowl to be disappointed once more. The Cowboys drew first blood,, scoring a touchdown in the sec- ond quarter' as Don Meredith found the passing range. He threw for 49 yards in a 69-yard march, with the payoff a 15-yarder to Pettis Norman. But from there on Dallas had. little chance with the hard-run- ning Cardinals, guided by John- son, who chipped in with some crucial runs himself. St. Louis jammed 20 points into the second period with Bakken's 43-yard field goal coming first after Johnson had sent the Cards 42 yards. As soon as St. Louis got the ball again it went ahead with a 79-yard drive, a screen pass from JJohnson to Triplett that ate up 38 yards getting the surge going. A 30-yard dash by Triplett got the ball to the. Dallas two and Joe Childress finally ran a yard. around right end for the touch- down. St. Louis made it 17-7 when Hill intercepted the Meredith pass and ran to an easy touchdown. With two seconds left in the half, St. Louis scored again as Bakken booted his 45-yarder. A short kick by Sam Baker set St. Louis up in business in the third period. Johnson's 14-yard pass to Bobby Joe Conrad and a 14-yard run by Johnson got most' of the distance. Dallas was pena- LOOK!

The final St. Louis touchdown came on a 60-yard drive with Childress running for 11, Johnson passing to Triplett for 13 and to Conrad for 14 as the big plays. * * * SAN DIEGO-The San Diego Chargers scored twice in the sec- ond quarter on long touchdown passes to defeat the Boston Pat- riots 17-13 last night in an Amer- ican Football League game. Flanker back Lance Alworth hauled in a 43-yard pass from Tobin Rote for the first San Diego touchdown after Keith Lincoln set it up with a 47-yard punt return. About four minutes later San Diego halfback Paul Lowe took a Rote pitchout and heaved a 71- yard touchdown pass to end Jerry Robinson. Boston drew within one point of San Diego in the fourth quar- ter on a 36-yard field goal by, Gino Cappelletti. Reserve quarter- back Tom Yewcc replaced Vito Babe Parilli throughout most of the second half and scored the only Boston touchdown. He went over from one yard out on a quarterback sneak. George Blair's 31-yard field goal iced the game in the fourth quarter for the Chargers. Boston played ball control in the first half, running 43 plays to the 'Chargers' 17. But they trailed 14-10 at halftime as the Chargers used the long passes to wipe out a 35-yard Cappelletti field goal in the first quarter. * * * GREEN BAY, Wis.-The Green Bay Packers launch their bid for an unprecedented third straight National League title by meeting the Chicago Bears today in the B8the"renewal of an old rivalry. The Packers, who won five straight pre-season games after an opening upset to the College All-Stars, rule a two-touchdown favorite to make the Bears their first victims of 1963. Chicago had a 3-2 record, including a 26-7 de- feat by Green Bay, in tuneups for the regular campaign. With 28 veterans of the 1962 club which lost only one game en route to the championship, the Packers are loaded with talent. Halfback Paul Hornung, suspend- ed for betting 'on league games, and defensive end Bill Quinlan, traded for a future draft choice, are the only regulars missing. Hornung; the Golden Boy who holds the NFL record of 176 points scored in a season, will be re- placed by' high-stepping 'fom Moore, a three-year veteran from Vanderbilt. Quinlan's spot will be taken over by Lionel Aldridge, a rookie from Utah State. The Green Bay attack again will be directed by quarterback Bart Starr, the league's top passer a year ago, and powered by full- back Jimmy Taylor, who captured NFL ground-gaining and scoring honors last season. LOS ANGELES-The Los An- geles Angels, who already had two pitchers named Lee, acquired a. third yesterday. They purchased right-hander Bob Lee from the Pittsburgh Pi- rates. Lee, who had a 20-2 record this season with Batavia of the New York-Pennsylvania League, will report to the Angels next spring.
