SPOILS PLUM'S RECORD
I Just Had to Do It,
Scotti Says Of Theft

Ben Scott sports q flve-gal-
lon, pearl gray hat, walks like
a fighter and goes around
harassing National Football
League passers and receivers.
In Cleveland yesterday he
spoiled Nit Plum's perfect
non-interception record with a
one-hand grab Of a pass in
tended for Ray Renfro, snap
ping Pluru's string Of throws
without an interception at 1876.
II told you I'd do it." the
piano-playine halfback said
later in the Redskins dressing
room. 81 Just had to do it.
You know, you've got to believe
in yourself. You've got to be-
lieve you can do things-and I
do. Do you understand? Peo-
pie think I'm cocky, but it's not
that. It's just that I've got to
make good. My family believes
in me My friends believe in
me. ! can't let them down."
As high strung as q thor
oughbred, green as erass and
understaudably nervous as a
rookie last year, the former
Marylander suffered through a
bad season. Every week he ex-
pected the ak. but fought it
of with sheer determination.
When ne couldn't stop a fancy
stepping receiver he "miiscled"
him-roughed him up-and
none of them liked 1t.
Brown Complains
This year. starting out
against the Colts, Ben had a
great day against Halfback
Lenny Moore, one Of the
leagues top receivers. He had
a good day against Tommy Nc
Donald Of Philadelphia's
newly crowned Eastern. cham
pions. Yesterday he stayed so
close to Renfro that Coach Paul
Brown complained that Scott
was grabbing hold and push
ing" him. But he got the Job
done, and got the interception
he determined would be his.
II kept talking to the Browns
during the game" Ben said.
II went over in front Of the
Browns bench and asked Paul
Brown to let Plum throw passes
in my territory. I mean it. !
bumped Rrenfro once and tolo
him to get Plum to throw the
ball my way. Once. when I
knocked Plum down, I helped
him up and said. You're a nice
guy, Milt. Why don't you throw
me a pass?' I really like him.
He's a nice guy. I kept begging
them to throw me the ball"
Scott said he had gone over
the Browns offense and pass
patterns by the hour and dis
covered that they throw that
long one to Renfro a couple of
times each game" Renfro was
his boy yesterday and he figured
he'd get one. He did.
Plum Surprised
II should've had another"
Scott said. 1T hit my Qeft)
wrist-the one I wear the brace
on-and 1t bounced off. I
should've had it."
Plum, who has completed 125
Of 1913 passes for 1877 yards,
said he was surprised when
Scott came up with the ball.
you can tell whether q pass
is well thrown when it leaves
your hand" the former Penn
State quarterback said. "You
know whether it's true or blue,
and that one felt good. I
thought 1t was good for six
points"
Plum said he wasn't disap-
pointed because his spotless
record had been spoiled. The
all-time league mark Of three
1nterceptions in one season is
held by Dwight Sloan. who made
made it playing for Detroit in
1889. Plum said he didn't know
who held the record, and didn't

TEE GREEN
By MERRELL WHITTLEsEY

The touring pros will spend
Christmas with their families,
but about the middle Of the
week they'll be getting itchy
feet and heading for California,
where the winter tour starts
January 6 with the $4,000 Los
Angeles Open.
They've never had it as good.
There will be three $50,0 900
purses before the pros leave
California this year. plus q
$25, 900 Open at San Diego.
The purses for the winter
circuit, which ends with the
Masters April 60 at Augusta,
will approach q half million
dollars. And that's not count
ing a $4,000 Caribbean circuit
Of five tournaments, and the
$4,000 Pea Seniors cham
pionship at Dunedin. Fla.
This is a staggering increase
over just 10 years ago. 1851,
when the top purses from the
Los Angeles Open through the
Masters were $4,000. The
Caribbean circuit was not in
operation, and the PGA Seniors
was being played for peanuts
The 10 years, which actually
is not a long time as far as
sports records are concerned
will see almost a complete
turnover in talent. About the
only winner on the winter
circuit Of 1851 who might win
a title this year is the slump
ridden Cary Middlecoff.
In 1851 the Los Angeles Open
purse was $4,000, and the
winner was Lloyd Mangrum
who will compete next week
but hardly figures to be q con-
tender.
The Bing Crosby purse was
$1,000 in 1851, and the pre-
winner was Byron Nelson, who
probably will appear next week
for sentimental reasons. Mid
decor won the San Diego
Open 10 years ago. a $4,000
tournament compared to the
$25, 900 purse Of next month.
The Palm Springs Classic
and something called the Lucky
International Open, both on
the California schedule for
$4,000 each next month, were
unheard Of in 81.
When the pros passed
through Phoenix and Tucson
10 years ago they played for
$4,000 at each stop. and the
winners were Lew Worsham,
who will be at his pro job at
Fort Lauderdale this year, and
Mangrum again.
