WHITE FALCON
7
Professional Football Forecast
With the professional football
season starting this weekend,
speculation runs far and wide on
which teams will he on top and
who will be the cellar-dwellers.
The White Falcon will attempt to
make your choice a little—or a
lot—easier with our predictions
for the 1965 pro football season!
In the National Football Lea-
gue, we will look at the Western
Division first.
GREEN BAY PACKERS — The
team to beat in football, the Pack-
ers should bounce back with the
help of Paul Hornung’s running
and kicking, a potent offense and
an awesome defense. They should
have no problem in the champion-
ship game, no matter whom they
play.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS — Fran
Tarkenton will lead the Vikings
to their second straight second
place finish. The offensive line
is not the strongest, but who can
catch Tarkenton! The running
game is good and the defense is
adequate.
BALTIMORE COLTS — Johnny
Unitas will twin many games as
usual but Lenny Moore is getting
old and the retirement of Gino
Marchetti and Bill Pellington will
leave gaps in the Colts’ defense
which they will not be able to
fill. The running game is the best
in the league but third is the best
for the Colts.
CHICAGO BEARS — A top
rookie crop featuring Dick Butkus
and Gale Sayers will make the
Bears a threat in the second half
of the season. The only thing that
hurts the Bears is the lack of
a passing attack. The running
game is good and the defense is
tops, especially the pass defense.
LOS ANGELES RAMS—Blessed
with two good quarterbacks and
speedy glue-fingered ends, the
Rams are a definite darkhorse
threat. The running game is al-
most non-existent" but the defen-
sive line is developing into one of
the best. The Rams started nine
rookies at starting positions last
year and All-American Jack Snow
is slated to be in the lineup this
year.
DETROIT LIONS — The trade
that sent Earl Morrall away, left
the team’s hopes in the hands of
Milt Plum. Blessed with the best
ends in football, Plum still must
prove himself as a top-notch
quarterback. Joe Don Looney could
make the running game tough and
the defense will still be rough de-
spite the loss of Yale Lary. A
year of re-building for the Lions.
’ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS—Even
though John Brody and George
Mira are first class quarterbacks,
the 49ers will not score enough
points and will give up too many.
Ken Willard is a top rookie pro-
spect and the 49ers did well in
the draft but it will take time to
develop these players.
The Eastern Division of the
NFL looks like this.
DALLAS COWBOYS — Going
out on a cracked limb here, the
Cowboys need Don Meredith
healthy all year. The Cowboys
AFRTS COVERAGE—Wayne Long (left) does the play by play on

Strikes 9n Spares
by Paul Jordan
The Winter Intramural Bowling League started the sea-
son this past week with 36 teams entered.
As averages and handicaps were established this first
week, and as bowlers once again got the feeling of com-
petition, all indications are for a fine league.
High series on the opening night was capped by Jordan,
IDF, International League, with'®'
a score of 212/227-613. High game
was tossed by Barghorn, Rock-
ville 1, American League, with a
241-580 series.
The American League, as in the
past, continues to post good scores.
Opening night was no exception
with Taylor, NSGA 1 at 212-595.
Back again strong are Becker and
Boll, AMD 1, banging for 216-564
and 551.
Geesaman and Nadolski, making
up the strong side of NSC 1, tal-
lied scores of 555 and 203/216-
579. Neilson, Medics, fractured
the pins for a 551 series.
The National League newcomers
held the spotlight on the first
night with Wykes rolling a 518.
Hall, ComFairKef (BarLant), had
a 203-544, while Winder, NSC 2,
and Sutton, Marines 1, bowled
575 and 223-508 respectively.
The International League bowl-
ers marked for scores with Zab-
locki, Comptroller 2, 523. Other
top scoring keglers for the week
were Opie, NSGA 2, 209-519;
Goens, VP-21, 524; and Dowis,
NCISA, 580.
have a strong offensive and de-
fensive line, good runners, and an
excellent rookie crop led by the
world’s fastest human, Bob
Hayes. Rookies Ralph Neely and
Mel Walker should move right
into a starting position and end
Frank Clarke is one of the best
CLEVELAND BROWNS —Even
though Frank Ryan blossomed into
a star quarterback, the Browns
will have a hard time repeating.
Jimmy Brown is still the best
runner in the game but the loss
of Paul Warfield in the All-Star
Game will hurt the Browns
through the early part of the
season. Also, four of the last five
games are played away from home.
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS — The
Cardinals will be a potent offen-
sive team but the defense is too
thin and the Cardinals will lose
the close ones. Charlie Johnson
will probably be the top passer in
the Eastern Division and he will
have plenty of good receivers to
throw to, but it will not be enough.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS —
Sonny Jurgensen will fill the air
with many passes, Charlie Taylor
will run over tacklers like flies
and the Redskins’ defensive back-
field will harass quarterbacks
with interceptions, but experience
is lacking. Former Detroit Lion
Head Coach, George Wilson, will
tighten up the defense but it will
not be enough.
NEW YORK GIANTS — The
Giants could have pulled off the
biggest steal of the year when
they acquired Earl Morrall from
the Lions. Tucker Frederickson is
the top rookie of the year and the
rest of the runners are strong
and fast. The Giants, defense will
be hard to dent and the offensive
line will be strong. Still it will take
the Giants a while to get going but
once they do, they will be one of
the toughest in the division.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES —
Mediocre quarterbacking will hurt
an otherwise strong Eagle team.
Timmy Brown is an excellent
runner, both inside and outside,
but he cannot carry the load him-
self. Still, the Eagles will not be
scored-on heavily and might be
able to pull a few close ones out
of the fire.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS —
Head coach Buddy Parker resign-
ed because he had not developed
a championship team and this
year’s team is a prime example.
Parker gambled by trading away
draft choices for experienced
players and it backfired in his
face. The defense is strong but
you can’t win games without
scoring any points.
We hope we have put some of
your minds at ease and we know
you are waiting in wild expecta-
tion for next week’s American
Football League fearless forecast.
Torbeek, Dorsey Lead League;
Scores Down 8 points So Far
The two week layoff was evident
as the results of the first week
of bowling in the Keflavik Intra-
mural Scratch League were tabu-
lated.
High Series
Clate Torbeek came up with the
high series of 204/206/157 for a
657 to help his teammate Ed Dor-
sey take nine points and move into
first place. Their victory came at
by Bob Vargo
the expense of the team of Tom
Hockett and Joe Ralph.
Bob Vargo and Marty Carr-
moved to within one-half point of
league leaders by picking up eight
and one-half points to Norm pet-
ers and Dave Sadolski. Neal
Taylor and Paul Lafond took
seven and one-half from Glenn
Geesaman and Fred Boll while
Tim Rogers and Ed Hunt split
seven apiece with John Emmert
and Tim Rogge. Rogge was sub-
stitute for Clint Neal in the match
and did a commendable job.
The individual average for the
first week was 168 as compared
to 169 for the first week in last
season’s bowling. The individual
average was up to 176 at the sea-
son and this is good bowling.
This is still anybody’s league
and it looks like a good race all
the way.
