Jordan, a linebacker with the
Dallas Cowboys, and Baker, the
Heisman Trophy-winning quar-

squads tonight at Los Angeles.
It's going to be quite a switch

Houk was asked If the Yam
KEGS kept count Of the number
Of pitches each pitcher throws
He said yes, but that he never
pays any attention to it until
later.
He said he never has asked
during a game how many
pitches a pitcher has thrown
and he doesn't think he ever
will. He also said he wouldn't
pay any attention to it if he
did. The Yankees use such in
formation-for example what q
pitcher throws in certain situa-
ton, how many curve balls and
how many times they are be-
hind the hitter-later.
You can tell sitting here on
the bench if a pitcher is tired
Houk said. THE quickest way
is that his arm will sag. An
other Is that some of them
stumble off the mound when
they're tired.
you can also tell how they
act on the bench. If they're
tired, they're not natural.

In Houk's opinion, a pitcher
faces graver danger to his arm
in games delayed by rain, OF
during long half innings when
his team is scoring a lot Of runs
than in extra-inning games.
I'D have to say that rain
delays are the biggest risk. ]
always watch my pitcher care
fully If the game has been held
up"
Ralph pointed out that minor
league managers should be par
ticularly careful. There could
be a great temptation in the
minors to permit a pitcher to
go too long and win a ball game
when actually a minor league
managers job is to develop
players" he said.

For pro football fans, there
are happy tidings starting to-

Within a seven-day span
opening with tonight'S Dallas
Cowboys Los Angeles Rams
game at Los Angeles, the teams
in the National and American
Football Leagues will engage
! in IL exhibitions for the pur-
pose of conditioning, finding
out which players to keep or
drop-and for making money
The preseason schedule has
become a big-money PROPOSE
ton these days, especially with
sponsors picking up fat tele-
vision tabs for the booming
sport.
The NIL opens up Saturday
on five fronts with the follow
ing exhibitions: Baltimore VS..

Chicago VS.. New York at Ithaca,
N. Y; Cleveland VS.. Detroit at
Detroit, Green Bay VS.. Pitts

VS.. San Francisco at Portland,

The whole AFL gets into the
act, starting tomorrow when
the New York Jets, formerly
the Titans, play Houston at
Shreveport, La, and the Buff
falo Bills take on the cham
pion Kansas City Chiefs, for
merly the Dallas Texans, at
Kansas City.
Boston plays the Chargers
at San Diego Saturday, while
Sunday it is Denver at Oakland,
and Wednesday Boston opposes
Houston at Lowell, Mass.
The ALL already has had
three exhibitions in which all
Of the favorites were beaten.
San Diego thumped Kansas
City, 26-l4; Denver toppled
Houston, 27-l4. and Oakland,
which won only one game in
1862, edged Boston, 24-17, all

43, possibly for his career.
Stengels reasoning was that
the pitcher would have to be
involved in a low-scoring game
to last that long, and he
wouldn't want to come out of
the game, and that the man.
ager wouldn't want to take him
out.
Consequently, Casey sug-
gested that for the good Of the
pitchers future, a league rule
should be put into effect max
ing 1t mandatory for a pitcher
to leave after IL innings. That
way the pitcher and the man
ager would get off the hook.

A couple of baseball writer's
were kicking the subject around
on the Yankee bench last night,
and Ralph Houk was listening.
II can't buy that one," Houk
said. THAT sounds ridiculous. "
why should the number Of
innings make any difference?"
the Yankee manager asked.
zone guy might get through IL
innings with $50 pitches and
another might need ESQ.
"One might be behind a
lot Of batters and be struggling.
One might be throwing a lot
Of curves, and the other a lot
of fast balls. Weather, long in
nings. men on base and a
number Of other things could
enter into it. 1t just wouldn't
make sense to have a rule like
that.
And BESIDES" Houk said.
II think if you will check back,
you'll see that SPAIN pitched
a Shutout his next time out.
1t was after the shutout that
he developed a sore arm. The
is innings might not have had
anything to do with it."

Ralph Is right. Five days
after SPAIN lost, 10, on VIII
lie Mays homer, he pitched
a shutout.
IF SPAIN thought he should
have been taken out before
the 10th inning" Houk said,
I'm sure he would have told
Bobby Bragan, and Bragan
would have taken him out"
Ralph was asked If he had
faced a comparable situation

McPeak is encouraged by the
Redskins improvement, but the
head coach isn't relaxing the
schedule. Another brisk passing
drill is scheduled today as a
final tune-up for tomorrow
nights squad scrimmage at the
Carlisle High School field.
Galen Hall is throwing bet

tween the ex-Penn Slater and
George LEO for the starting
quarterback role. Both will be
behind Norman Snead when he
returns from National Guard
duty this week end. There is a
chance Norman will see the
scrimmage, but McPeak does
not plan to use him.

HE hits the wrong holes at
times" McPeak said, but when
he's sure Of himself he goes in
with authority"
With the defense ed-dogging

time to take aim. Doug Elmore,

missed two they should have
had.
