Palmer, Five Strokes Ahead ,
Making Runaway Of Classic

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. II (AP) i.
Arnold Palmer apparently has
only himself to fear in his bid
for the prize in the American
Golf Classic, which enters the
third round today.
The powerful Pennsylvania,
threatening to make the $50.000
tournament a one-man show,
charged out in front of the
field by five strokes yesterday
with a magnificent 67-69-136
after 36 holes.
Palmer, who usually charges
from behind to overwhelm his
opponents, might get careless
because of his commanding
lead. This appears to be the
only thing to prevent him from
winning his eighth tournament
this year and surprising his
own earnings record in on e
year.
Palmer has earned $71,198
this year and either first-place
money of $4,000 or the second
prize of $4,000 would put him
beyond his 1860 earnings of
$75,262.
Palmer's 34-35-69 yesterday
included some of the best golf
he has ever played.
Il couldn't play those first
seven holes any better" he said
As he collected two brides and
five pars. In fact, Palmer
thought he played better yes
.terday than he did the first
round when he had 36-31-67.
The difference was two puts.
Well behind Palmer and in
second place was Don January
who had a 34-36-7o after a

HOUSTON TROUNCES DENVER
Packers Show Class
In Rout of COWBOYS
BY the Associated Press

Just in case anyone has any
ideas of unseating them from
their throne, the mighty Green
Bay Packers have decided to
use some terror tactics.
The Packers, National Foot
ball League champions last
year. opened their exhibition
season last night by crushing
the Dallas Cowboys, 3l-7, be-
fore a throng of $4,000 in
Dallas.
The Cowboys, of course, were
the weaklings of the league last
year. The Packers flexed their
muscles in the muggy 90-degree
weather and the game was as
good as over.
Paul Hornung kicked an 18-
yard field goal, scored on a s.
yard run and Clipped in with
four points after touchdowns
Elijah Pitts also bucked for one
touchdown, while Bart Starr
and John Roach each passed
for one.
The Cowboys only touch
down came in the second quar-
ter on the fourth try from the
Green Bay one. plunge by
Rookie Amos Bullocks from
Southern Illinois. The score
was set up by a 46-yard pass
from Eddie LeBaron to Half
back Frank Clarke.
Sam Baker Of Dallas gave
the crowd a thrill with a tre-
mendous 85-yard punt.
The American Football
League also was in action with
the defending champion Hous-
ton Oilers trouncing the Den
yer Broncos, 1917, in an ex-
hibition at Atlanta before only
1880 fans.
Veteran George Blanda
kicked four field goals and
added three conversions for the
Colts. Billy Cannon treated the
crowd to a dazzling 29-yard
touchdown run.
Denver appeared much
sharper than last year and
held a 14-13 halftime margin
mainly through the efforts of
Frank Tripucka, whose passes
set up the touchdownS. But the

$4,000 Due to See Redskins
Open Against Roms onight
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star Staff Writer

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IL
The quietly determined Red
skins and confident Rams ring
down the curtain tonight on
the longest unbroken pre-Sea-
son series in pro football.
Their 18th meeting at the
Coliseum in a rivalry dating
back to 1916 could be one of
the best of a string that pro-
duced soIas fantastic football
and more than a few upSetS.
The game will be broadcast
in Washington over WWDC,
starting at IL pm. with Jimmy
Gibbons and Eddie Gallaher
describing the action.
The last game, temporarily
at least, marks the first ap-
pearance of a Negro player in
the Redskins lineup. 1t won't
be speedy Bobby Mitchell but
hard-nosed John NiSby at right
guard. The Rams will see
plenty of Mitchell-if they look
fast enough - and probably
rookie Leroy Jackson and Ron
Hatcher, too, before the final
whistle.
Fans Forget 1851 Record
The face-lifting operation
performed by Bill McPeak on
the Redskins and a bevy OF
promising newcomers on the
Rams apparently has made the
fans forget their 1861 records
for $4,000 or more are expected
to see the game. The Rams
finished with a 4-10 mark and
the Redskins with l-l2-l. a
victory over Dallas in the sea-
son finale ending a winleSs
streak at % games.
McPeak also aims to end
15-game losing streak on the
preseason tour dating back
to 1859, Curiously. a 1921 vic
tory over the same Rams was
the last scored by the Wash
ington eleven. Los Angeles won
four of the last five for l0-6
edge in the series.
The big winner tonight, re-
gardless of the score, will be
the Los Angeles Times Boys
Club. The games have netted
more than $l.350,000 for the
club.
The series began on an ex-
plosive note with a replay OF
the l945 title game in which
the Rams, then based in Cleve-
land, won by 1914. The replay !
was almost as close, the Rams
winning. 1914. on Bob Delau-
er'S 45-yard field goal.
Four field goals by Danny
Villanueva gave the Rams a
1921 victory two years ago.
Four more by the same person
kept them ahead until the last
period a year ago. Then long
touchdown passes from Zeke
Bratkowski to Carroll Dale
and from Jon Arnett to Jim
Phillips wrapped up a 26-7 de-
cision for the Rams.
Redskins Hopes BuOyed
The same combinations will
be on the field tonight, but this
time the Redskins expect to
stop them. McPeak will start
an all-new secondary in Jim
Steffen and Sam Horner,
wingbacks; Bob Freeman and
Dale Hackbart, safeties. Hack
bart came to the team from
Green Bay after the second
league game a year ago and
Steffen from the Lions later
in the season. Freeman was
obtained from the Eagles dur
ing the off-season and Horner
was on offense last year.
A frightened pass defense,
plus newly acquired speed and
ability to throw home run"
passes, has buoyed the Red
skins hope although they are
10-point underdogS.
The Rams also have i'm
proved, on paper. and may give
the assemblage a look at Ro-
man Gabriel, their rookie quar-
terback from North Carolina
State. They bolstered the de-
fense by trading for Bob Pelli-
grini Of the Eagles and Lou
Cordileone of the Forty Miners.
There never was much wrong
with their offense-when it
clicked.
