Griffin Daily News Thursday, February 17,1977 Page 14 TD Club plans active year A more active stance has been announced for the Griffin Touchdown and Booster Club by the club’s Board of Directors. Citing a leveling off of participation, the directors this week began plans to include more activity and more benefits for club members. The club is preparing to begin its 1977-78 membership drive, and preliminary plans have been made to include more 1 ■ All you got to do is ask Bumper crop of rookies By Murray Olderman The tipoff: Despite winning the super Bowl, the Oakland Raiders aren’t going to stand still. The club’s history is to bring along young talent continually. Don’t be surprised if they trade Marv Hubbard, their oft injured fullback who missed all of '76. Q. Who are some of the better rookies coming up to the ma jor leagues this year? — L.R., Cincinnati, O. I \ I wouldn’t presume to name all of them, but the youngsters I urge you to watch are a couple who’ll be playing for New York teams — outfielder Lee Mazilli of the Mets and Mickey Klutts, hoping to fill the shortstop gap on the Yankees - plus second baseman Rich Bauer of Baltimore and Bump Wills of Texas (he’s Maury’s son). Add to them outfielder Steve Kemp of Detroit. Q. In reference to scoring a boxing match, what are the things the judges score by. Also, where could I write to sub scribe to Ring Magazine? — Gerald Meyer, Cape Girardeau, Mo. Authorities such as Nat Loubet of Ring have been pushing for years to have a national clinic to standardize judging. The general criterion is effectiveness — judging who throws the most punches and who has more effect with them. But the human factor remains —a referee whose style was to be a slugger in his ring days will generally favor the slugger. To subcribe to boxing's journal, write to Ring, 120 West 31st St., New York, N.Y. 10001. Q. When a team calls time out in a football game, can the coach go on to the field and talk to his players, or can all the players come to the sideline like in basketball, or is the coach just allowed to talk with offensive or defensive captains? — J.M., Oakland, Calif. The coach can't come out on the field, except in the case of an injury to a player. There’s no apparent limit on the number of players who can come to the sidelines, but as a matter of practicality, it’s generally limited to two or three and they don’t have to be captains. Q. What is the most points scored in a single game by a high school football team? What high school went the longest without giving its opponents any points? — C.S., Nanticoke, Pa. To the first question, Haven High School in Kansas beat Sylvia High School, 256-0. Haven won all nine of its games that year, scoring 578 points to the foes’ 0.1 can’t find a record for scoreless streaks. But the most impressive record for shutouts must belong to Ashland (Ky.) H.S. From 1925 to the end of 1933, it won 82, lost 3 and tied 4 and shut out its op ponents 53 times. Q. I have lived in various parts of the country and never have I heard so many excuses and whines as I have from Oakland fans in any sport. I'm not particularly impressed with the Raiders as a championship team until this year. Their soft schedules and weak division have helped them to the playoffs. I believe my Steelers will be back wreaking havoc and with an intensity you wouldn’t believe. I feel pretty certain the Raiders won’t even make it to the AFC finals. — John Held, San Francisco, Calif. 0.K., so what’s the question? Q. Are there any dry moats around some soccer fields in South America? Also, I remember hearing about a moat around the track at the Pan Am Games in Mexico. Is this true? — Mark S., Alameda, Calif. Moats around soccer fields have existed for quite a few years, since soccer fans frequently got so frantic they went after players and officials. This is particularly true in South America, where they take the sport fervidly. There is no moat around the infield at the Estadio Olimpico, where the Pan Am Games were held. There is only a moat at the end of the 100 meters run, where sprinter Silvio Leonard of Cuba fell and hurt himself. Parting shot: The best coaching job being done in basketball is by Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers, who has made them realize it's still a five-man game even with Jab bar around. Got a tough question about sports and the people who play them? All you got to do is ask Murray Olderman.

Those plans will be announced as soon as details have been worked out. The club is planning weekly meetings during the next football season, with the meetings to feature films of the previous game and discussions about the game by Coach Max Dowis. Also planned is a monthly newsletter to members from Coach Dowis. The Board of Directors is considering a proposal to incorporate changes in football programs this fall. The proposal includes smaller weekly programs, but a comprehensive Griffin High Football yearbook. The Touchdown and Booster Club is also preparing for its annual sponsorship of the Green-and-Gold spring football game.

HILL'S TIRE STORE Corner 6th & Solomon St. Phone 228-1347 His career mapped out Players also have maintained silence since the Aeros’ finan cial plight came to light almost two weeks ago. “We don’t want this thing to go down the tube,” Mrs. Howe said. “But our first responsibility is to the Howes. We have responsibilities to our bankers and our investments too.” Mrs. Howe said the public might not understand the Howes demanding to be paid when the rest of the team is not. She said the family already had been patient with the'Aeros by agreeing to defer their sala ries over a 12-month period in stead of six months. She said the family also has not received performance, playoff and all- star bonuses for last season. The threat of not being paid their regular salary was the last straw, she said. “So we called a halt to it,” Mrs. Howe said. Mrs. Howe said she hopes there will be no dissatisfaction among the unpaid players. “We have honored everyone else’s opinions in this and I think everyone has honored ours,” she said. “If the team decides to take a hard stand, we’re behind them.” Vickers said meetings with the players are continuing and no announcement will be made until some agreement is made. Coach Bill Dineen has said the talks concern some form of de ferred salary payments.
