Erratic Season

Although Starr has been err
ratio this year and has been
intercepted 10 times. he has
thrown eight touchdown passes
and completed 50.7 per cent of
his losses. 1t was Starr, gen.
orally conceded to be an I'M
derrated quarterback, who led
the Packers to the league cham
Ipionship in 1861 and 1862 by
beating the New York Giants
in the playoffs.
lombard prefers to concen-
trate on one quarterback, CIV
ing the signal-caller control of
the offense. In such a situa-
ton the No. 2 man, Roach, had
little chance to play.
Green Bay drafted a quar-
terback, Dennis Claridge of
Nebraska, last December as a
future" Claridge still had a
year to go at Nebraska.
GugIieImi a Possibility
The Packers had a rookie
quarterback in camp this sum-
mer, Terry Fang, 6-foot. 1885,
FOUNDER from Drake who was
signed as q free agent. He
was cut in late August.
In looking over the field of
available quarterbacks, Lom-
bardi might want to consider
Ralph Guglielmi, the former
Notre Dame star who was re-
leased by the Giants after he
refused to report to San Fran
cisco. Guglielmi previously
played for Washington and St.
Louis.
Stars injury probably will
assure a tight race down to the
wire in the Western Division.
The Packers and Bears are tied
for the lead with 81 records
After losing the opener to the
Bears, Green Bay came back
and won five in a row.
The Packers have a tough
game coming up Sunday at
Baltimore. They play Pitts
burgh November 8 and Mime
sofa November 10 before their
November II rematch with the
Bears in Chicago. After that
1t will be Dallas, Detroit, Los
Angeles and San Francisco.
Eagles Alter Plans
With Jurgensen out for prob
ably two or three weeks, Coach
Nick Skorich of the Eagles is
making plans to capitalize ION
the things Hill does best"
DR.. James Nixon, the Eagles
physician, says Jurgensen's
right shoulder muscles are
pushed together like a damned
finger"
The Hill plan Of attack may
mean the Eagles will have to
rely on a running attack, as
compared to Jurgensen's long
bomb aerials. The second
string quarterback has been
plagued by interruptions.
Hill should have fleet Tommy
Mcdonald as one of his op-
Grating targets. The star flank
er was limited by a slight sep
aration Of his right shoulder
at Cleveland but is expected to

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Hortock's Enemies
Hold Hall Of Fame Key

WHAT BILL HARTACK did" Chick
Lang said one day, was to lump his
enemieS-newSpaper and television guys,
owners and trainers-into one big fist and
hit himself on the chin with It,"
There is opportunity now for the news
paper and TV people to hit back but they
probably won't. Hartack may have a per-
sonality short-circuit somewhere in his
system, but even his worst enemy must
concede that he belongs in the JOCKEYS
Hall of Fame.
They have started the voting, as you
may know, and Hartack is one of the five
nominees. If elected, he gets his portrait
painted in oil and hung at Pimlico in the
distinguished company of Earle Sande, Ed
die Arcaro, George Wolfe, Sonny Work.

It's possible that Hartack couldn't care
less. You never know about this strange
headstrong, outspoken little man. If Chick
Lang can't figure him, nobody can.

cessful and wealthiest years of Bills life,
He won two Kentucky Derbies, the Freak
ness and the Belmont over this stretch
Perhaps a dozen agents have succeeded
Lang and Hartack these days has been
riding free lance, mostly in the Chicago
area. L
It's ironical that members of the press
and their audio-video kin have the power
to elect Hartack or choose from among
such older jockeys as Johnny Adams,
Buddy Ensor, Clarence Hummer and Char
ley KurtSinger, the latter three dead. Only
a favored few among the racing writer's
were not held in contempt by Hartack.
This is petulant, biting little man to
whom most racing questions were ridicu-
lous. Example:
When did you feel you had it won, Bill?"
That's silly question" And he would
turn away.
HARTACK'S MAGIC TOUCH with a
thoroughbred was-and presumably still
tS-one of the greatest of his generation,
at least. There can be no ignoring his re-
cord Of S272 winning races over a 12-year
period. In only one year-the present one
up to September did Hartack's winning
percentage dip under 20. Four National
riding championships he won, including a

Yanks Promote Houk to General Managed
HameyQuits Due to Health;
Berra Likely to Be Pilot

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Ralph
Houk. field manager Of the
Yankees for the last three
years. today was named general
manager, succeeding Roy
Hamey, who retired because Of
III health.
The successor to Houk as
manager will be named Thurs
day. and the prime candidate
is Yogi Berra, the longtime
Yankee catching star.
Under Houk the Yankees won
three American League pen
nants and took World Series
championships in 1861 and
1862. They lost the SO series
to the Los Angeles Dodgers in
four straight games.
Houk has been in the Yankee
organization since 1899. He
joined the club in l947 and
served eight seasons as a catch
ing understudy to Berra. In
that time. he appeared in only
81 games, failed to hit a single
home run and batted. 2e2
FOur-Year Contract
But the one-time Army
Ranger hero rose in the organ
ization and now has the top
operating position. He was
given a four-year contract, ef-
fective November /.
Houk. present at the press
conference, said the change
first was discussed during the
1862 World Series in San Fran
cisco. The final decision was
made in Florida during spring
training Of 1853.
II hope I can do for the
next manager what Hamey did
for me-" Houk said.
AS manager Of the Denver
Bears, a Yankee farm club in
the American Association, from
1855 through 1857, Houk fin
ished second twice and third
once. He served as Yankee
coach from 1858 through 1860.
Although he took over a set
club. 1t wasn't exactly a bed
of roses that Houk found in
October. 1860. when he became
manager Of the Yankees. With
limited experience and no high
rating as a player, he also was
handicapped by the fact that
he was stepping into the big
shoes Of Casey Stengel, who
had won 10 pennantS in IL
years.

ing which killed four Negro
children attending Sunday

2. A Federal grand jury has
started an investigation of eff
forts to obStruct court-ordered
desegregation of Alabama pub
lie schools. The investigation,
instigated by a Federal judge
rather than the Government,
is expected to delve into the
forces behind the obstruction

tons to violence.
3. Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Burke Marshall, key fig
ure in mediating with white
and Negro leaders in Birming-

There is a breakdown Of
law and order In Birmingham
and we need the power of the
United States" said Mr.. Shut

Alabama Christian Movement
for Human Rights, an address,
ing the rally.
Criticizes u. S. Job
The Rev. Ralph Alternately,
treasurer Of DR.. Kings Sonth-
ern Christian Leadership Con-
ference, said at the meeting
that IF the Federal Govern
ment had done its job, Gov
Wallace would be in jail right
now" and the church would
not have been bombed.
Another call for Federal ac-
ton came from James B
Farmer, national director OF
the Congress of Racial Equality
From San Francisco, he wired
President Kennedy to send
Federal marshals to protect
Birmingham residents.
I'VE have no confidence In
the State marshal" he said
"They showed their stripes be-
fore"
Mr.. Farmer said the bombing
occurred because segregation
lists realize Negroes are winning
the civil rights battle. THE
racists have their backs to the
wall, and they can look back
and see the handwriting" he
said.
Bishop Asks Action
At Louisville, KY, the
bishop Of the Seventh District
African Methodist Episcopal
Zion Church called upon
members in Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi to arm them
selves against illegal intru-
sions." Bishop C. Ewbank
Tucker said the bombing shat
tered the hope that law and
order would be preserved in
Alabama indignation moves.
Birmingham citizens are re-
minded of the bombing by
church bells tolling at noon
each day this week.
Businessmen had another re-
minder Of the racial climate
slipping sales throughout the
area.
People put off shopping
trips" one businessman said.
They are concerned about
their children-it goes deeper
than Just downtown Birming-
ham-it affects every phase Of
the business, social and civic
life Of the community"
Another merchant said busi-
ness is about 80 per cent Of
normal.
