Bear passing to be better
After seeing the Griffin Bears
under game-like conditions only
twice, Coach Max Dowis has
come up with one solid predic
tion.
“Our passing game will be
better than it was last year and
that will give us a more
balanced attack,” he said from
Sky Lake Camp at Helen, Ga.
“If our passing game isn’t
better than it has been in a
couple of years, then we’ll be
badly fooled,” the Griffin coach
said.
Coach Dowis based his
prediction on two factors.
“Our quarterbacks (three of
them) continue to improve and
our receivers are much better.

China, Hammond Ind.,
in L. L. final match
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (UPI)
—The Little League World
Series champion will be deter
mined Saturday afternoon when
defending titleholder Nationalist
China meets Hammond, Ind.
Today is an open date for the
Little Leaguers.
The Nationalist Chinese team
won its chance at a second
championship Thursday by
trouncing Pearl City, Hawaii, 9-
1, while Hammond downed San
Juan, Puerto Rico 10-7.
Lin Yung-lung gave up only
one hit, a homer in the first
inning, and struck out 15 men
to lead his team to the finals.
With two away in the first
inning, Kirk Sato blasted a
homer to give the Hawaiian’s
their only score. Lin then
fanned 13 of the next 18 batters,
some on defense.
The Bears did not scrimmage
Wednesday. However, the af
ternoon session “was a real
lively one.”
The Bears showed a lot of
spirit in what Coach Dowis
called an exceptional group
session that included a lot of
hitting.
The Thursday morning drill
was limited to work on timing
and conditioning. It was
reasonably light.
“We took it easy Thursday
morning to give the boys a little
time to recover from the ex
cellent practice Wednesday
afternoon.
Coach Dowis feels the Bears
tune to pick up his receivers.
The fans should see more
double wing formations and
less importance given to the se
lection of weak side or strong
side plays.
Because the extra running
room is likely to trigger more
zone plays, the zone defense
will liave a tougher time pro
tecting against passes.
With extra time for the
quarterback to pick out his re
ceivers, the defensive team will
rely more on man-to-man cov
erage and less on zone defense.
The field goal kickers will
gain by the new rule, too, for
the angles of their short tries
will be lessened by the new
hashmark positions.
•Hopefully the new rule will
make it a more wide-open
game for the offense and there
fore for the fans,” says Ron
Waller, special teams coach for
the San Diego Chargers and the
team's advisor on rule
changes.
A second new rule which
should pack more action into
Sunday afternoons allows punt
receivers to return kicks which
fly or roll over the goal line.
Until this year the punt has
been dead automatically if it
crosses the goal line untouched
by either team and returned to
the 20-yard line.
"Under the new rule,” Wal
ler explains, “the punt receiver
can run the ball out of the end
zone if he chooses to, just as the
ball can be run out of the end
zone when a field goal is
missed.
“It should make some punt
plays more exciting. The punt,
of course, is tougher to return
from the end zone than the field
goal attempt because the offen
sive line gets down field more
quickly under punts than on
field goals.”
Waller, a former Los Angeles
Ram star running back and a
1956 All-Pro selection, says it
takes an average of two sec
onds for the kicker to get his
punt away and it’s in the air
another 4.5 seconds on the
average. It takes about seven
seconds for linemen to get
down field.
"So the punt receiver in the
end zone doesn't have too long
to decide whether he'll try to
run the kick back or let it go,”
Waller points out. "It should
make what happens on some of
those down-wind punts very in
teresting this year.”
It only requires an average of
1.3 seconds to attempt a field
goal, and the offensive line is
more interested in blocking the
defense away from the kicker
while walking only two men.
Wesley Brum pitched the
whole game for Pearl City, the
team representing the Western
U.S. champions. The Chinese
nailed him for 10 hits, one a
solo home run by Chien Chih
chen in the fourth inning.
Lin Chao-chin and Li Tsung
chin had two each as the
Nationalist Chinese team
scored in every inning for 10
hits.
Home runs from Mike
Rozgony and Gary Freidrich
paced Hammond to its slot in
the finals.
Hammond scored three runs
in each of the first three
innings, with Rozgony and
Freidrichs blasting solo homers
in the second and third.
Trailing, 10-3, San Juan
have several fine offensive
linemen.
“Randy Pass is a college
prospect. If he stays healthy
he’ll sign a grant.
“Darrell Chapman is much
better than we expected. He’ll
really hit.
“Tackles Jamie Crawford,
Mark Neill and Grant Crawford
are improving,” the coach said.
Charles Gaddy, a fine
prospect at defensive tackle,
started slow coming off knee
surgery. However, he had a fine
practice yesterday.
Kenny Hattaway, who is
recovering from a pulled
muscle, is also returning to top
than getting downfield in a
hurry. Waller says.
The NEL competition com
mittee, comprised of represen
tative coaches from each con
ference, considered changes in
the so-called "sudden-death”
play-off rule after tie games
but didn’t recommend them to
the league for a vote.
One proposed change dis
cussed by the committee would
liave required the tie-breaking
“sudden-death” playoff in all
regular season games instead
of only during division, confer
ence and Super Bowl contests.
Another would have provided
that if the team which first
went on the offensive during a
"sudden-death” period scored
before giving up the ball, the
opposing team would have four

ALIBIS FOR FISHERMEN
To become a “complete” angler learn to offer a wide
variety of reasons the fish weren't biting. First, blame
something you can’t control — Mother Nature! This is
certain to win a sympathetic ear (at least from your wife
who knows the problems you have catching fish). It
was too “cold”—in July change to “hot”—in March to
“windy”. The barometric pressure was falling. Lake was
so clear fish were easily spooked or so muddy they
couldn't find the bait. Water so high fish were scattered
—so low they were in deep holes. If weather was per
fect, try these. You lost the only lure they were hitting,
a purple Pooper Popper! Your motor conked out Lake
is overfished, needs restocking. Water skiers churned up
the water so much fish were too dizzy to bite. But what
ever the alibi, always shake your head in despair and tell
it like you believe it yourself!
