‘Bears best first day scrimmage er er ’
I
® “The finest first day
scrimmage a team of mine ever
S had.”
That’s how Coach Max Dowis
:$ described the Griffin Bears’
first full scrimmage at Sky
Camp near Helen, Ga.
“We had tremendous
blocking, good running, good
passing and exceptional down
field hitting. The folks on of
fense were hunting up people to
hit,” the pleased coach said.
g “The good, first day scrim-
mage doesn’t mean we’re ready
S to play. We still have a long way
to go, but we got off to a very
good start,” the coach added.
As far as putting it together,
Coach Dowis and his staff
confined the drill to offense.
They worked some with the
S defense but concentrated

mainly on offense.
“Who were the standouts in
the scrimmage?”
“That’s a tough question. We
had a lot of them such as our
three quarterbacks, running
backs, outside receivers and
some interior linemen, who
really put on some blocks.
“The scrimmage was a
combination of running and
throwing. Willie Jordan, Stan
Treadway and David Skrine
threw well.
“Terry Willis and Gary
McDowell, outside receivers,
had a good day catching the
ball.
“We also threw to Tony Head.
He looked good as a receiver.
We will throw more to our
running backs this season than
we have in the past. We’ll throw
to Tony coming out of the back
field and will use him as a
flanker at other times. We are
more versitle now with our half
backs than we were before,” the
coach said.
Head and Daryl Jones,
Griffin’s power runners, got off
good gainers as did Curtis Jones
and Tony Williams, Griffin’s
speedsters.
“We have a good situation
with our running backs. Tony
and Daryl furnish the power
and Jones, Williams and a
couple of others supply the
speed. And too, there is depth.”
Coaches praised centers Ray
Gilbert and Eddie Duke.
Lineman Randy Pass got in
his share of hard licks as did
Darrell Chapman, Jamie Craw
ford and Mark Neill.
U.S. Olympic team
tuned 9 ready to go
By JOHN G. GRIFFIN
UPI Sports Editor
MUNICH (UPl)—America’s
Olympic track and field stars
are all tuned up and ready to
go, and so, too, is Lord Michael
Killanin, the International
Olympic Committee’s new pres
ident.
George Woods, in the shot
put, I>arry Black, in the 200-
meter dash, Rod Milbum, in
the high hurdles, and Dwight
Stones, in the high jump, were
the individual stars Wednesday
in the final major tuneup track
and field competition.
Woods, a 6-2, 300-pound
“They were impressive with
their down field blocking,” the
coach said.
Keith Tuggle and Freddie
Trice also showed they are
ready to give the Bears depth at
guard.
Defensive backs Donnie
Roberts and Tommy Howie
impressed coaches.
“We can’t overlook Walter
Jones. He’s really working hard
at defensive back and tight
end,” Coach Dowis said.
Clemon Ector saw action at
tight end. “It looks like he’ll
help us,” the coach said.
David Skrine and Gary
McDowell, corner backs, were
among those banged up in the
scrimmage. “They were
bruised because they passed
some hard licks, especially
strongman from Warden, Mo.,
led a Yank 1-2-3 sweep in the
shot put with a heave of 70 feet,
1% inches. It equalled his best
put ever and had many in a
crowd of 5,000 at Olympic
Stadium gasping in near
disbelief.
Woods, world record holder
Randy Matson and Al Feuer
bach are the only 70-plus shot
putters ever. Matson, of course,
didn’t make the Olympic team,
but Feuerbach did, and he
came up with a throw of 68-1%.
Brian Oldfield, America’s third
shot putter, did 68-%.
Most experts believe if the
three can duplicate in the
Olympics proper they can
sweep all the medals for the
United States.
Black Takes 200
Black took the 200 in 20.24,
whileMilburn, the world record
holder, won the high hurdles in
13.7 and Stones, a youngster
from Glendale, Calif., took the
high jump with a leap of 7-1%.
Another fine performance
was turned in by the 1,600
meter relay team of Wayne
Collett, John Smith, Vince
Matthews and Lee Evans. They
clicked off the distance in
3:00.69, the world’s best time
this year.
Also, Tom Hill of Jonesboro,
Ark., finished second in the
high hurdles and Larry Burton

coming up quickly on running
plays.
“Clarence Harris is another
prospect who was impressive at
defensive back and he also ran
good,” Coach Dowis said.
Although several players
were bruised pretty good in the
full scrimmage, none of the
injuries are of a serious nature.
“Most of the injuries are the
usual kind a team gets in a hard
scrimmage. I’d hate to think we
came through a scrimmage
without a bruise or two. That
would mean the hitting wasn’t
hard,” Coach Dowis said.
The coach showed his ap
preciation for the hard workout
by holding a light drill Wednes
day morning. The practice was
confined to working on timing,
and solving problems that
of Melfa, Va., was third in the
200 dash.
The Yanks completed their
day’s work by watching the 400-
meter relay team of Black,
Robert Taylor, Gerald Tinker
and Eddie Hart win in the good
time of 38.39 seconds.
Meanwhile, Killanin, an opti
mistic Irishman with wide and
varied experience, replaced 84-
year-old Avery Brundage, the
millionaire American from
Chicago, as IOC president, and
will take over at the conclusion
of the Munich Games.
Killanin, in a casual and
relaxed mood, talked at length
about the lOC’s future and
while conceding a lot of tough
days lie ahead, the 58-year-old
nobleman said he was optimis
tic.
Complete Opposite
The complete opposite of the
unyielding and sometimes auto
cratic Brundage, Killanin said
he was opposed to the Olympic
Games being thrown open but
that the Winter Games had a
chance to survive.
“I simply don’t believe in
throwing the games open,” he
said. “As far as I’m concerned,
professionals will never be
admitted to the Olympic
Games.”
But, Killanin said, changes
still must be made.
“We must bear in mind,” he
said, “that we are entering the
fourth quarter of the 20th
century. There will have to be
change but not all at once.”
Killanin also conceded that it
will be difficult to keep politics
out of the Olympic movement
but that he will not tolerate
pressure by power blocs.
While he didn’t say it in so
many words, it was obvious
Killanin was referring to the
move by black African nations

The players didn’t put on pads
for the light practice.
The team was back in
uniform for the Wednesday
afternoon drill.
Coach Dowis scheduled
another full scrimmage today
and plans to stage another
Saturday morning — the day
the Bears break up camp and
head for home.
The camp hasn’t been all
work and no play. Players still
are enjoying swimming,
boating and fishing during
breaks.
Coach Dowis admits that he
isn’t much of a fisherman.
That’s not true for coaches Don
Pierce, Frank Hinson and
Johnny Goodrum. They have
caught more than their share of
fish.
