Hand Writing On Wall
For Many Colt Players
By DANIEL C. BIKER
United Press International
BALTIMORE (UPI) — When
the Colts meet the Philadelphia
Eagles in the Playoff Bowl at
Miami Sunday it probably will
be the 1st time many will
appear in Baltimore uniforms.
In the last three years the
Colts have won a Western
Division championship and fi-
Auburn Whips
70-59
By United Press International
Auburn won its second South
eastern Conference basketball
victory of the season Tuesday
night with a 70 to 59 victory
over luckless Louisiana State
University.
The game was the only SEC
contest for the evening. In a
non - conference game, Tennes
see overwhelmed Furman 87 to
49 in a game at Knoxville.
Bobby Buisson turned into the
playmaker for Auburn, hitting
for 21 points and picking up a
Jim Gentile
To Fill In
For Phillies
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) _
Veteran first baseman Jim
Gentile, who has played with six
clubs in his nine years in the
majors, has been acquired by
the Philadelphia Phillies to fill
in until injured Bill Whited is
back in action.
The 32-year-old native of San
Francisco and owner of a .263
lifetime batting average was
acquired Tuesday night from
Portland, Cleveland’s Pacific
Coust farm club, and assigned
to San Diego, the Phillies’ club
in the same league.
However, Gentile will report
to the Phils’ spring training at
Clearwater, Fla. General mana
ger John Quinn said Gentile was
assigned to the San Diego club
because the Phils’ roster
already is at the 40-man limit.
Quinn said White, who injured
his ankle Dec. 19. Is “expected
to miss most, if not all, of
spring training.”
Gentile broke into professional
ball with Santa Barbara in 1952
and spent five years in the
minors before Joining the
Brooklyn Dodgers in 1957.
He also played for the
Dodgers at Los Angeles after a
one-year stint with Spokane,
and later with the Baltimore
Orioles and Kansas City A’s.
Gentile was with the Houston
Astros, Oklahoma City and
Cleveland during the 1966
season. He batted .128 with the
Indians in 33 games.
His lifetime totals include 549
RBI's and 179 homers.
The Phils said they will give
Cleveland a plyer on or before
opening day for Gentile or cash
in lieu of a player.

Perkins, who met with Gov.

tion."

nished second twice, but the
margin between first and
second has been increasing and
the handwriting on the wall is
clear.
The great Baltimore Colt
tam of the past may now be
too old to win titles and the
proud Colts will settle for
nothing less.
Johnny Unitas will play a
couple more seasons, but Gary
some - times hot, some - times
cold team.
The lead was tied five times
in the first half with Auburn
obviously bothered by LSU’s
man to man defense. But mid
way in the second half Auburn
began pulling away on the
shooting of Buisson and Ronnie
Quick.
Senior guard Kenny Drost
was high point man for LSU
with 19 points, followed b ycen
ter Tommy Thigpen with 12.
Rod Whidby poured in 31
points to laed the Tennessee
Volunteers to their easy victory
over Furman.
The 6-4 senior poured in 15
field goals and one free throw
and he and seven-foot Tom
Boerwinkle gave Tennessee a
tremendous edge on the boards
with the Vols pulling down 62
rebounds.
Chamberlain
Dwarfed By
Teammates
By United Press International
Even gigantic Wilt Chamber
lain is being dwarfed by his
amazing teammates.
Chamberlain, the 7-1 Philadel
phia center, came up with a
superb performance even by his
own standards Tuesday night
when he hit on 15 of 18 field
goal attempts, Including his last
11 In a row, for 35 points. He
also contributed 33 rebounds.
Still it was the 76ers as a
team who must get credit for
the 148-142 overtime victory
over New' York that boosted
National Basketball Associiation
to an unbelievable 36-3.
Billy Cunningham, a reserve
forward, typified the all-around
effort Philadelphia has been
receiving this season when he
scored a game-high 36 points to
help the 76ers overcome a 12
point deficit in the final seven
minutes of regulation time.
A three-point play by Hal
Greer in the closing seconds
forced the overtime and conse
cutive field goals by Cunning
ham, Greer and Chamberlain
put Philadelphia ahead for good
in the extra session. Willis Reed
led the Knick scorers with 30
points and Walt Bellamy added
25.
Philadelphia remained seven
games ahead of Boston in the
Eastern Division race, as the
Celtics outlasted the San
Francisco Warriors 126-121 In
overtime.
Boston blew an 11-point lead
In the final three minutes of
regulation hut rebounded in the
extra period for its 12th victory
in 13 games with the Warriors
dating back to last season. Sam
Jones of the Celtics and Rick
Barry of the Warriors each
scored 31 points.
Batholomay
Apologizes
To Mathews
\ ATLANTA (UPI) — Atlanta
Braves Chairman William C.
Batholomay said today he has
apologized to Eddie Mathews
for failing to tell the veteran
third baseman he was being
traded to the Houston Astros.
Bartholomay issued a state
ment here to get it on the rec
ord that he regretted the mis
handling of the trade announced
last Saturday.
Mathews is one of the great
est players ever to wear a
Braves uniform and I sincerely
regret that he did not receive
notification of the trade from a
club official before learning of it
from an outside source,” Bar
tholomay said. “The Braves ap
preciate the many years of
great service rendered by a
great star.”
The text of the club chair
man’s personal letter to Math
ews was not made public.
Cuozzo, who has been standing
in the wings, can’t wait any
longer and may get his wish to
be traded. All-pro guard and
tackle Jim Parker played this
season on injured legs and
though owner Carroll Rosen
bloom may lure him back for
another year his days as an
active player are numbered.
Marchetti Through
Gino Marchetti, brought out
of retirement in desperation this
season, won't even make the
trip to Miami and certainly
won’t be back next year.
Lenny Moore is at the end of
a brilliant career and during the
season did nothing more than
return kickoffs. Jimmy Orr and
Raymond Berry, who used to
leave defensive backs talking to
themselves, are finding difficul
ties in outrunning defenders. On
their best days the Colt running
backs are only average. The
once strong offensive line leaked
like a sieve at times this year.
The Colts must make changes
and they have already begun.
Alabama’s star receiver, Ray
Perkins, was signed by the
Colts and he will replace either
Berry or Orr. Willie Richardson
has been waiting for a first
string shot at flanker and he will
get his chance next season.
Trade Bait
As prime trade bait, the Colts
have Cuozzo, and perhaps, a
linebacker, of which the Colts
have a surplus. It has been
reported the Colts would send
Cuozzo to either New York or
the infant New Orleans team
for a draft pick such as Florida
quarterback Steve Spurrier.
However this seems doubtful in
light of the prospect the Colts
already have. Gettysburg’s Jim
Ward has been riding the taxi
squad for two years and the
Colts seem to think he will be
ready to take over when Unitas
retires.
instead the Colts need a
running back and at least one
good offensive lineman. A trade
may be developed along this
line, if it hasn’t already.
Several years ago a great
football team was assembled in
Baltimore but the city’s glory
days will be over unless that
team is now broken up and new
faces added.
