Cal Griffith :. Couldn't Have Afforded IT.

fair with the lease" he volunteered. "Now
were in the process of working on the sale
of the old park. Personally, think Howard
University should get first crack at buying
it. know Unk (Clark Griffith) would have
wanted it that way"
OVER THE PHONE Cal didn't sound
as if moving to the new D. C. Stadium
necessarily would assure the new Senators
OF financial success in '62. 1--WE got to be
skeptical," Griffith said. There seemed to
be about him new and mature philosophy,
confidence he didn't always have in our
town.
People said fought the move to the
new stadium" Cal said. II was further
along in negotiations than people think
For instance, I understand that Gen.
Quesada is having a rhubarb with the
Armory Board controlling the Stadium on
lower echelon) over getting them to lower
the parking fee from ST. Before George F.
Shea died-he was running things, you
know-we'd agreed on a 50-cent charge"
At Griffith Stadium, when Clark and
Cal were bosSing the show, it cost rs cents
to park car. "But we only had lot that
could take care of 300 cars" Cal protested
And most of those spaces were sold on
seasonal basis. Here in Minneapolis we
charge so cents-and we can park at least
as many cars as the 1880 at the new
D. c. Stadium.
"Our parking people wound up with
net profit of $4,000 last season. mean
NET =. after attendants and insurance
and everything was paid. What do they
want in Washington"
1T WAS SUGGESTED that one thing
that wasn't wanted was white elephant
There was a snort on the other end of
the line.
They've GOT white elephant" Cal
said. Lets face it, they've got one. And
81 parking charge isn't going to pay off
those bonds. All it'll do is hurt the ball
club, hurt the taxpayer, hurt the stadium
itself
Look, sports fans aren't dopes. They
budget-So much for this, so much for that.
Maybe you can get away with 81 parking
fee for the Redskins. They only play seven
games a year. The Senators will have rs

"You think guy isn't going to figure
that he should be paying $3.50 baseball
season, instead of $75?"
And what would Calvin Griffith do if
he were Gen. Quesada? I'D go straight to
the Hill :. to the top. It's not pleasant
to go over the heads of people, like the
Armory Board, but sometimes it's necessary.
And now that he's clubowner who has
drawn 1256,000 paying customers in a
single season. would Mr.. Griffith have any
further suggestions?
well, I'll tell you, I'd do something
about feeding the customers. We sold hot
dogs at the old park-a family thing, y'know,
at 10 dogs to the pound. And fresh, hot
rolls. They tell me the food isn't so hot in
the new Stadium. Kind of small dogs and
not very warm, huh?"
There was no commitment on our part
aside from the promise that as soon as a
small envelope was found D. c. Stadium
frankfurter would be mailed to him to
sample. The only truly snide remark was
that when it arrived in Minnesota it
wouldn't be any colder than on Sunday
afternoon in the Stadium.

East A|I-Stars
ReavyChoice
In Hula Bowl

HONOLULU, Jan. 6 (AP).-
Two of the most impressive
squads of collegiate football
players ever gathered for one
game clash here tomorrow in
the 18th annual East-West
Hula Bowl at Honolulu Sta
dium.
Under predicted partly cloudy
skies and before an expected
Sellout crowd of $4,000, Coach
Joe Kuharich of Notre Dame
will pit his Eastern stars against
a team primed by Bill Barnes,
UCLA coach.
The bowl game-the last one
of the Season-features seven
All-Americas.
Kuharich's East backfield-
including all-Americas Ernie
Davis at halfback and Bob Fer
guson at fullback-is expected
to outdistance the West. The
East is favored by two touch
downs, which would give Ku-
harich his second straight Hula
Bowl victory and the East team
its third consecutive triumph.
Kuharics has four all-Ameri-
cas-. Barnes squad includes
three.
Barnes, a single-wing coach
will use the T-formation, with
four first-string backs who
played in four different post
season games: John Hadl in the
Shrine Game, Jimmy Saxton
in the Cotton Bowl, Lance AL
worth in the Sugar Bowl and
Almose (Moose) Thompson in
the Rose Bowl.
Kuharich said he may use
MinneSota's All-America Half
back Sandy Stephens at quar-
terback if necessary, but will
start by alternating Roman
Garbriel of North Carolina
State and Ron Miller OF Wis
conSin.
The West will use Hadl and
Gale Weidner of Colorado in
it's first-line threat.
