rE ran THE FEARLESS TWINS Look For Best (Or Worst) Of Fearless This Fall Attention sports fans, and football fans in particular. Fearless, the Gemini man (or twins) with split per- sonalities (one’s always laughing and the other’s always crying), will return for another season of prep pigskin predictions on Wednesday, Sept. 4. We know you've been waiting breathlessly for the Fearless one’s return from the murky depths of an old crystal ball. “The return of Fearless signals another football season. Fearless has been predicting (or trying to predict) prep football games since 1953. He isn’t any better now as he was back then. You can look for the best (the happy Fearless) and the worst (the unhappy Fearless) on these pages this fall. We hope you’ll enjoy reading Fearless as much as he enjoys writing his columns for you. We also hope you’ll patronize the sponsors of our Foot- ball Contest this fall. Our Football Contest will also begin Sept. 4., and will run for 10 consecutive weeks. a a ge Sh RTT PPP PON i an a Rh SR a a a a ARERR | WBTV Sports Director Don’t Worry About William Perry’s Weight The Chicago Bears needn't worry about William Perry's weight. That's the opinion of Clemson defensive coach Tom Harper. ‘He weighed 360 for the Orange Bowl Game”, says Harper. ‘‘He's not like other players. I've never seen anyone like him’. Once, put on the same diet, William Devane lost 14 pounds; Perry gained three ... Just thinkin: Now that George Rodgers is in the Redskin camp, John Riggins might want to agree to a contract real soon. Big John's 37; Big George ain't ... Except for the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the dumbest move of the century had to be the baseball strike. * * * When the short-lived strike was called, Pete Rose was fourth in the National League in on-base percentage ... Maybe Pete Rozelle deserves to be in football’s Hall of Fame. But to induct Rozelle and to ignore Fran Tarkenton is shameful ... Personal opinion: Any major-leaguer who falls for the hidden ball trick oughtta be fined a thousand bucks. The first rule'in baseball is ‘Keep your eye on the ball” ... When asked why he drove the middle against so many taller players, 5-7 Spud Webb retorted: ‘‘Because that's where the basket is". * * * There was blame on both sides in the brief baseball strike. But most of it should go to the players. The teams, after all, belong to the owners, just as Belk’s and Cannon Mills and The Charlotte Observer belong to the owners. Player salaries exceed $350,000 a year. That's top dollar—any way you look at it ... Carl Tacy says he's “burned out’. But, asks Arizona State’s athletic director, ‘How can he be burned out one week and ready to coach the next” ... Do you know why the nickname ‘‘Boom Boom" is considered con- troversial among athletes? Neither do |. * * * Did you know that no-man has ever been a unanimous selec- tion to Baseball's Hall of Fame? Ty Cobb missed by 4 votes, Hank Aaron by 9, Babe Ruth by 11, Ted Williams by 20 and Willie Mays and Stan Musial by 23 ... Is the spitball any harder to control than ‘the knuckleball? Is it any more dangerous than a fast ball thrown by a pitcher with poor control—such as Bob Feller and Sandy Koufax in their early days, or Ryne Duren for his entire career? Should the spitter be legalized? | bet Gaylord Perry has an opinion. * * * I’m pulling for Joe Namath to do well in the broadcast booth this year, but | sure am gonna miss Don Meredith ... Vin Scully's good; so’s Joe Garagiola. But Red Barber's still the best baseball broadcaster I've heard ... During his 56-game hitting streak, Joe DiMaggio says he never read the newspapers ... Rod Carew hit .300 or better for 15 straight years—including averages of .364, .366 and .388 ... The greatest pressure in the ACC this year may very well be on Dick Crum, and unless he can come away with 8 wins and “a bowl! bid, some will call for his head. Too bad. He has done a great job. (Editor’s note: Paul Cameron can be seen on the 6 pm and 11 pm news on Channel 3.) |PAUL CAMERON | | - starting Wig wp KMHS Gridders Working Hard, Open August 30 Against BC From Page 5-A about having our quarter- back punting, but we feel comfortable that he’ll do a good job.” ~ McCullough is also doing some kicking. ‘He’ll fit in somewhere, but we don’t know just where yet, possibly with field goals,” Hicks said. Hicks said Raynard Roberts, a junior, will add some excitement to Moun- taineer football in returning kickoffs and punts. “He ran back three kickoffs and two ts for touchdowns for the jayvees last year,” Hicks a said. ‘“He’s very impressive. This is a situation we haven’t had in the past several years in that we have a good, fast return man who’ll add some excitement to our game.” The Mountaineers’ only seriously injured player thus far is tackle-linebacker Wes Burns, a senior, who has a fractured ankle. ‘Wes had a real good summer and was working pretty close to a sition on offense,” Hicks said. ‘‘We feel like he’ll be ready when we go into our conference schedule against Shelby on September 27, but he’ll definitely miss our three non-conference games. “We have to stay healthy,” he added. “With our numbers situation, depth is critical.
