WHITE FALCON

Just as sure as rain in Iceland,
it’s the Yankees in first place.
On the other side of the fence,
it’s a toss-up. The Phillies, who
for so long were ahead of their
National League counter-parts,
have been fed a steady diet of
losses and subsequently find them-
selves battling for top honors.
The Cinncinnati Reds and the
St. Louis Cards have really made
things interesting in the Senior
Circuit. Meanwhile, in the A. L.,
Chicago and Baltimore stage the
battle for second-place honors and
look forward to next year, when
they will again have a shot at
the Yanks.
Switching the shape of the ball
from circular to oval . . . from
baseball to football, in last Satur-
day’s action in the pro ranks, the
surging Pittsburgh Steelers cop-
ped a 23-17 victory over the Dallas
Cowboys. In that one, oldster Ed
Brown tossed for three scores.
Jimmy Brown & company (other-
wise known as the Cleveland
Browns) came back in the second
half to take it from the Phila-
delphia Eagles, 28-20.
In other Sunday N. F. L. con-
tests, it was the St. Louis Cards
23, the San Francisco 49ers 13,
and the Los Angeles Rams 22,
the Minnesota Vikings 13.
Last Friday, the New York
Giants called upon aging Y. A.
Tittle in the second half and he
responded by leading them to a
13-10 squeaker over the Washing-
ton Redskins.
In the biggest shocker in the
National Football League Sunday,
the Baltimore Colts proved their
previous whipping of the Packers
was no fluke, as they breezed to
a resounding 52-0 whitewash of
the Chicago Bears. This was the
defending N. F. L. champions’
worst setback in history. Previ-
ously, the worst beating Chicago
had suffered was a 40-0 skunking
at the hands of the Green Bay
Packers in 1962.
Turning to American Football
League action, the Boston Patriots
took their third consecutive win,
thrashing the New York Jets, 26-
10. Fourth period passes by quar-
terback Len Dawson enabled the
Kansas City Chiefs to defeat Oak-
land, 21-9. And, the Houston Oilers
scored 31 points in the first half,
then held on for a 38-17 victory
over the Denver Broncos.
Going back to the N. F. L., it’s
interesting to notice that in the
Western Division, there are four
top contenders at the present.
Green Bay, Chicago, Baltimore,
and Detroit all look strong. In
the East, the Giants down-fall
comes only as a partial surprise.
Cleveland and St. Louis seem to
be the top runners so far.
It’s not a mixed-up league this
year, as many seem to think, . . .
it’s just that especially in the
West, the league is tight and well-
balanced. Minnesota, Los Angeles,
and San Francisco are much im-
proved, especially the latter two
clubs.
Taking an over-all glance, I’ll
still stick with the Green Bay
Packers and the Cleveland Browns
as the teams to beat in their
! respective divisions. But like I’ve
noticed, it’s a hard, cruel world,
. . . especially that of pro football.

team captain presented the com-
mander with a baseball autograph-
ed by all the members of the team.
The Braves had an 11 win 4 loss
record for the season and were
sparked by the pitching of Tony
Sparks, Willy Grover and Freddy
Myers. The main stay of the team
was their catcher, Glen Carter, a
veteran from last season. He was
a member of the Braves team that
won the 1963 Little League Cham-
pionship.

WINNING FORM — An Icelandic National Team player drives in
on a lay-up showing the form that brought the team victory.
Nats Swamp All-Stars 85-65;
Board Control Proves Vital
by Wayne Long
Floods hit the Field House last Saturday as a rain of
basketballs from a top notch Icelandic National team drow-
ned the Naval Station All Stars and dampened their spirits
with an 85 to 65 defeat.
Led by the games top scorer, a tall blond named Olafsson,
the Iceland team proved too
for the Naval.. Station. Using a’'
fast break and pinpoint-passing,
the Icelanders drew first blood
and kept ahead of the All Stars
for the rest of the game. Although
the score was never tied, the All
Stars kept it close with the shoot-
ing of McCarty and Reid. But
Reid had four fouls and McCarty
three by the end of the first half
and both had to play cautiously
for the remainder of the game.
Perhaps the biggest single fac-
tor in the contest was the re-
bounds. Iceland controlled both
boards with an iron fist. Tall and
quick, the young men from Rey-
kjavik swept the backboards clear
time and time again. Iceland man-
aged to take two or three shots
at the net and keep the ball until
they could finally score. Foul
shots also played an important
role. At one point, the center for
Iceland netted nine in a row.
Actually the whole story was
the youngster Olafsson. It seemed
that every time I looked up he
was dropping a jump shot or tos-
sing in a free throw. He has the
knack of drawing fouls, and he
rarely misses from the line. Olafs-
son made a total of 13 foul shots
in 16 attempts. Equally devastat-
ing from the floor, he dropped in
10 field goals in 15 trys for a
66%. Closely following with 23
points was Hallgrimsson. Behind
him with 18 markers was Bolla-
son. With this one, two, three
punch it’s no wonder the NavSta
wasn’t on the long end of the
score.
About the only bright side of
the All Stars’ day was a Marine
guard. Hitting a 25-foot jump
shot with regularity. Bill McCarty
fired in 19 points.
Hough and Leib, with 10 and
eight points respectively, and Reid
tall, too fast, and too good
>---------------------------—--------
with six, rounded out the top
scorers for the Naval Station.
Looking back, one thing was
evident. The Naval Station, while
heavy with talent, hasn’t had the
practice together that molds five
individuals into a team. This,
coupled with a bit of rustiness
in their shooting, had the All
Stars beaten before they started.
In all, it was a tight, fast, ag-
gressive game and certainly no
disgrace to lose. With a few re-
bounds and a little sharper shoot-
ing the outcome of the next game
might be a completely different
story.
