The Nations football-playine

But perhaps benefiting ever

CORVETTE

Really, that's not fair request unless
you've driven a Corvette. Because
nothing short of frsthand experience
with this tremendously eager and un-
believably solid road machine can
prove to you how different a Corvette
is. and how much pleasure it can
add to every foot of the way you travel.
That applies in full measure to every
kind of driver, not just the sports car
enthusiast. There isn't a soul behind
the wheel who cannot understand,
instantly, the feeling of extra security
and superb responsiveness that Cor
vette carries bred in the bone.
Maybe you've admired the won-
derful gaiety and excitement Of a
Corvette's looks but never thought
seriously about owning one. That's
why, for your own astonishment, you
ought to arrange with your Chevrolet
dealer for a test-drive. Your sample
can range from the utmost in luxury,
the Corvette version graced with
Powerglide transmission automatic
top and Power-Lift windows, to the
ultimate in performance, the Fuel
Injection V8" with four-speed gear

The switch by the colleges
leaves the current football TV
lineup this way: CHS has the
National Football League and
ABC the college games. NBC
will televise the NIL cham
pionship game as usual ano
some post-seaSon bowl games
but has nothing to offer adver-
tisers in the highly competitive
weekend fall market.
That's where the American
Football League comes in. The
AFL has been leaning toward
ABC in contract negotiations
on the assumption that NBC
money was in college football
and CHS cash in the NFL. Now
the AFL suddenly becomes ex-
tremely desirable to NBC and
If the new pro league plays its
cards right. it may pull of a
much fatter deal than was
possible previously.
Any network dealing with
the AFL will deal directly with
the league. rather than with
individual teams as had been
the NIL method. Under the
AFL constitution all teams
share equally in TV revenue
unlike the NFL.
The amount paid by ABC
was not surprising in that the
1901 NCAA plan is the most
attractive ever offered.
4 1t gives the network control
of both nine national and four
regional dates each season,
whereas previously the network
had no control over regional
games. The regions have also
been expanded into only three
national segments. Previously
they often were broken down
into as many as eight, the num-
Der of NCAA districts.
ABC now can guarantee a
sponsor football on u straight
Saturdays and Thanksgiving
for two straight years.

Griffith Indicates Romano
Is Target in Trade Efforts
Deal May Give
Tribe Courtney
And Kemmerer
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar.
.16.-The Senators have aban-
doned hope that their current
crop of cstchers will be satis-
factory and are believed to be
negotiating a trade which
would bring Cleveland's John
Romano to Washington and
send Pitcher Russ .Kemmerer
and Catcher Clint Courtney to
the Indians.
President Cal Grifith will be
cycling the pitching Of young
Jim Kaat against the Yankees
here today and hoping for in
teresting developments, but Of
more immediate Importance to
the club could be Calls search
for catching help.
Cal admits he is chatting with
a western team for a catcher
who was a rookie last season."
a description that fits Romano,
and it is known that Griffith
received a telegram yesterday
from Frank Lane, Cleveland
general manager.
TwO-fOr-One Deal
Griffith said he would be
forced to give up a pitcher
mot Camilo Pascual or Pedro
Ramos"-and a catcher to
acquire the catcher he covets.
Courtney was a .233 batter last
year, but his 1888 hitting against
the Indians may have fascinated
Lane.
Romano, 25, is a righthand-
ed hitter who batted .294 with
the pennant-winning White
Sox last year. Employed SPAR
ingly behind Sherman Lollar
and Earl Battey, he appeared
in So games, hit five home runs
and batted in "a runs.
Romano, traded to the In
dianS in December in a seven
player swap featuring Minnie
Minoso, had two outstanding
seasons in the minors. Vita
Waterloo, Iowa. in 1855 he
clouted 38 homers and batted
in 124 runs to lead the
Three-I League in both depart
ments while hitting 1921. Two
years ago with Indianapolis he
hit 25 homers. batted in SO
runs and had a .291 average.
Would FOrestalI Yanks
Lane is aware that Grifith
also has been approached by
the Yankees for pitching help
and is striving to forestall a
New York Washington trade
which would strengthen the
contending Yankees. If the
Senators send Kemmerer to the
Indians, Griffith is unlikely to
trade Ramos to the Yankees
a move Lane fears.
Griffith says, Catching is
our big problem and we're will
ing to go high to solve it" Thus
he is tossing in the towel on
the prospect of Courtney, Hal
Naragon or Steve Korcheck
providing the club with suita-
BILE receiving.

shouldn't be difficult to remem-
Der.
Yastrzemski, a 20-year-old
Long Island, N. Y, native, Is
one of baseball's innumerable
bonus babies. He picked UP a
reported 100000 when he
signed with the Boston Red
Sox.
The young second baseman,
who played college ball at Notre
Dame, spent last season with
Raleigh of the Glass B Carolina
League, hitting BIT in his first
year in organized baseball.
This spring Yastrzemski has
been amazing Red Sox camp
followers with his play and has
been singled out by Manager
Bill Jurges for future stardom
He'd probably stick now if ne
was an outfielder.
With the Red Sox weakened
by the sudden retirement of
slugger Jackie Jensen and the
aging of Ted Williams, Jurges
has been giving his young
prospects a solid chance to
make the grade. IF he CYas-
trzemskD was an outfielder,
I'd bet that he'd win a starting
job" Jurges says.
HOmers Against Giants
Despite this, Yastrzemski
keeps battling for a berth with
the parent club. He came up
with another impressive per-
formance yesterday, cracking a
homer as the Red Sox ran
their exhibition record to 80
with a 6-5 victory over San
Francisco.
In other games on a pro-
gram abbreviated by rain, the
White Sox remained undefeated
by blanking New York. 80;
Pittsburgh outlasted Kansas
City in a 1913 slugfest: Cleve-
land edged the Cubs. Us, and
Cincinnati turned back the
Orioles, So, in a night game.
The Red Sox had to battle
back from a 40 deficit after
Willie Mays helped the Giants
pull out in front with a two
run homer. Besides YastrZem-
skis homer. the key blow was
a sacrifice fly by Jim Marshall
in the eighth inning that
scored Marty Keough with the
winning run.
IO-Run Burst Wasted
The White Sox, now 40,
scored all their runs of Jim
Bronstad in the second and
third innings on their only two
hits and four walks. Dick
Brown tripled one home and a
single by Nellie Fox, three walks
and an inf1eld out accounted
for the others. Bob Shaw, Ro-
dolfo Alias and Gerry Staley
held the Yankees to four hits.
The Pirates won their first
game with Don Hoax, Hal
