Scorecard Needed To
Tell Sports Season
By DAVID M. MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPD—You can't
tell the sports season these days
without a scorecard.
Used to be a fellow knew
where he stood. The seasons
were clearly defined and each
waited its turn. No more. Now
everybody wants to get into the
act all year long.
This observation was prompt
ed by the arrival of the Atlanta
Falcons “pre-season prospect
us”—three and a half months
before the first professional
football exhibition game.
But in one respect it’s quite
timely. Tonight, Atlanta will
have its second professional soc
cer gante and it affords an op
portunity to compare football
U.S.A, style to ‘‘football” as the
rest of the world knows it.
The National Football League
(NFL) struck Atlanta like a
thunderbolt. Average attend
ance here last fall was 56,526
and the Falcons report they’ve
already sold 47,000 season tick-

Soccer Gate Small
The National Professional
Soccer League (NPSL’) arrival
was more like a pop-gun. Open
ing night, last Saturday, the
Atlanta Chiefs drew only 11,293
paid and tonight’s match with
the California Clippers is not ex
pected to do that well.

Retains Crown
NEWCASTLE, England (UPI)
—Maurice Cullen retained his
British lightweight title Tuesday
night by scoring a 5-round
decision for his fourth victory in
four outings against Vic Andret
ti.
There were no knockdowns
but Cullen won 10 rounds with
his superior footwork and an
effective left jab.
Cuppers Named
SANDWICH, England (UPD—
Great Britain, which hasn’t won
the Walker Cup since 1938,
chose five newcomers to the
1967 team which will face the
United States May 19-20.
Among the “rookies” are 18-
year-old Peter Oosterhuis, Mi
chael Attenborough, Sandy Ri
rie, Dudley Millensted and Tom
Craddock. Veteran members
include 45-year-old Joe Carr,
Sandy Saddler, Rodney Foster,
Ronnie Shade and Michael
Bonallack.
Young Manager
ANAHEIM, Calif. (UPD—
Twenty-f o u r-year-old infielder
Tom Sommers became the
younpest manager ever appoint
ed by the California Angels
Tuesday when he was named to
manage the Angels’ Idaho Falls
team in the pioneer league.
Sommers, who broke into pro
ball with Idaho Falls in 1964,
had originally been assigned to
the Seattle farm club in the
Pacific Coast League for the
1967 season.
This comes as no surprise.
Atlanta is a good sports town
as the Falcons, Braves and
Georbia Tech can attest. But
soccer is a stranger and the
people the Chiefs have import
ed from such far away places
as England, Israel, Sweden and
Ghana even more so.
Football as people know it
here is a rugged contact sport.
Soccer depends mainly on a
skill that is foreign to this part
of the world. Europeans and
Latin Americans are thrilled by
soccer’s fancy footwork. Fans
in the states must learn the in
tricacies of the sport before
they can respond in a similar
manner.
The officials of the NPSL are
well aware of this and none
more so than Bill Bartholomay.
Bartholomay is president of the
Chiefs and of the parent Atlanta
Braves and a member of the
NPSL executive committee.
“Each of our 10 teams is
spending about a half million
dollars, double that of major
league teams in England, and
we figure it will be about five
years before we can start show
ing a profit,” Bartholomay said.
Willing to Lose
“The people who formed the
league all have the resources
needed to absorb losses until
we make a breakthrough,” he
added.
Bartholomay had estimated
NPSL matches would have to
draw an average of 15,000 fans
to “break even.” Early season
attendance has been averaging
about 9,000 and there is no as
surance at this point that this
can be maintained.
Which brings us back to the
Falcons. General manager
Frank Wall reports 95 per cent
of last year’s season ticket hold
ers renewed and new sales
more than made up the differ
ence. The Falcons plan to con
tinue to sell season tickets until
May 15, but may cut off before
then since they want to leave
some individual - game tickets
and Atlanta Stadium’s football
capacity is 58.850.
“I’m naturally a worrier, es
pecially when it comes to
money,” Wall said. “But, I
guess I must admit that most
of our games will be sell-outs
this coming season.”
There’s no question that foot
ball can be sold in Atlanta. It
just depends upon the brand.

As Teacher, Pete Dawkins
Still an All-American
By MURRAY OLDERMAN
Sports Editor
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WEST POINT, N.Y.—
(NEA)—The plebes arrive
that first morning, scared—
some trembling a little —and
then on a June day four years
later, most of them leave with
a West Point diploma and the
same opportunities which
challenged Dwight Eisenhow
er, Douglas MacArthur and
Omar Bradley.
There always have been
wars for these men to fight,
and Pete Dawkins has been
to his. He is back from the
Vietnamese jungles now, the
gold oak leaf clusters of a
major on his shoulders.
He was graduated from
West Point eight years ago,
a second lieutenant who had
been more than an All-Amer
ican halfback.
He was also first captain of
the cadet corps, the highest
honor for a West Pointer; he
was football captain, the sec
ond highest honor; class presi
dent (1959); and a “star man,”
a member of the academic
elite. Pete ranked seventh in
a class of 503.
In the history of the United
States Military Academy, Pete
Dawkins is the only cadet who
achieved those four honors.
When Pete was graduated
from the Academy, his foot
ball coach, Earl Blaik, an
Army graduate himself, said:
“I can practically prophesy
that some day if he stays in
the Army, Dawkins will be
chief of staff.”
Today, Maj. Pete Dawkins
can be found in Thayer Hall
at West Point in one of the
many cubbyhole offices as
signed to the Social Sciences
Department.
Volumes like Richard Neu
stadt’s “Presidential Power”
and George Kennan’s “Amer
ican Diplomacy” line the
bookshelves in his cramped

office. A Rhodes scholar, Pete
teaches United States govern
ment to second classmen
(juniors).
It is as much an adventure
for Pete Dawkins as it is for
the cadets, who find them
selves sitting across a desk
from this blond, angular of
ficer who, until now, seemed
more like a fictional char
acter than a smiling, pipe
smoking civics teacher.
“The reaction differs,” Pete
said. “The most common is
caution. They don’t quite
know vWiat to make of me.
“Sadets, like modern Amer
ican youth, are cynical and
skeptical. They are skeptical
about the image of Pete Daw
kins, but at least they are in
terested in me. Because
they’re interested, they listen
to what I have to say and
they’re not afraid to shoot me
down.”
The “Dawkins image” is
the result of what Pete terms
a “favorable press.” It started
in 1956 when, as a sophomore,
he made his first All-Ameri
can team.
“The press,” Pete said,
“was very sympathetic toward
me, but it can exaggerate.
“The tendency was for sort
of the All-American boy, Jack
Armstrong. I find it some
what wearing, though, be
cause it isn’t true. There are
a lot of things I’m not: one
is perfect.”
Football coach Tom Cahill
enjoys having Pete Dawkins
around his team.
“Pete,” Cahill said, “wears
his success with great mod
esty. The team is quite aware
of his exploits. He has proven
himself in competition, all
kinds.”
That would be a fitting
epitaph for a 65-year-old. Pete
Dawkins is only 29.
Clay Carries Case
To Houston Court
HOUSTON (UPD—A U.S.
district judge has under study
today a 67-page petition signed
by Muhammad Ali, "also known
as Cassius Clay Jr.”—possibly
the heavyweight champion’s
last chance to put off his
scheduled induction, in to the
Army.
Clay’s scheduled induction is
set for 10 a.m. EST (9 a.m.
CST) Friday.
His lawyers Tuesday filed a
motion in Federal Court asking
U.S. Dist. Judge Allan B.
Hannay for a temporary re
straining order that would delay
the pending induction until
Clay’s case could be heard by
the court.
The petition is similar tc
previous motions by Clay which
were rejected by the U.S
Supreme Court. In it, Clay
contends his draft status should
be changed to 4-D because he is

NEW YORK (UPD—The New
York Knicks, attempting to
keep their players from jump
ing to the new American
Basketball Association, Monday
signed their third team member
to a 1967-68 contract—guard

Komives, who missed 16
games late last season because
of an ankle injury and was the
fifth highest scorer on the team,
joins Dick Van Arsdale and
Cazzie Russell in the signed
ranks.
