Telephoto) Albany State Rams Vying for _ Grid Prestige in Coming Season ALBANY, G».—The roar of the Ram will finally be heard when the 1967 football seaaon for Albany State College gets underway on September 23 against Miles College at Bir mingham, Ala. Vying for national recogni tion among the nation's small college grid powers, the Rams, with a veteran squad return ing intact, will be heard through the roughest nine game schedule in the school's history. Main causes for big noises in the Southwest Georgia area are a vaunted passing offense and the nucleus of twenty letter men from the first two teams returning for the '67 grid wars.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. The green station wagon pulled off the track and into the pits. Almost before it came to a stop, the pit crew began taking off the tires and replacing them with a new set. Within minutes the car was back on the track. Some kind of,tire changing contest? In a way. yes, for it de- scribes an important part of the action during tire perform ance comparison tests made re cently by five professional stock car racing drivers at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The tests were arranged by the American Viscose Div., FMC Corp., to evaluate differ ences in directional stability, handling and control between rayon and nylon cord passen ger car tires. Drivers were Richard Petty, Cale Yar borough, Junior Johnson, Bobby Allison and Lee Roy Yarbrough, all top contenders in the NASCAR stock car rac ing circuit. After three days of testing 20 sets of tires (10 made with rayon cord and 10 companion sets made with nylon) the driv ers reached the same conclu sion. Tires made with rayon have better directional stabil ity, handle easier and more smoothly, and give better over all control than comparable tires reinforced with nylon. The drivers themselves helped set up the test consist ing mainly of lane changing and cornering maneuvers at norma! highway speeds be tween 60 and 75 miles per hour Winner Feels Round Good 'Under Gun' PINEHURST Greensboro's Sonny Grant was over-conser vative in viewing his final round 70 and victory here Sunday in the North Carolina Amateur championship. "I think I played some good golf here," he said. "Under the gun this was a fine round. I've had lower scores, hut under the conditions and trying to catch somebody, I think it was a pret ty good effort." He came from seven strokes behind for his first major victory. Some of the conditions had to do with the long, demanding Country Club of North Carolina course where the tee markers were as far back as they would go on every hole. "If you take a step back you'd fall off every tee," Fill Harvey viewed it. Players complained of the distance in tte Tfcrt day round, but it was even long er Sunday. It had to be 7,100 yards or more. Missed Putts "I hit a lot of good shots, but the round could nave been bet ter if • few putts had dropped," observed Grant, who has not won a major tournament but has a lot of tournament experi ence. "I think I played consistent ly well, but I putted badly in the first two rounds," Grant of any in small college ranks, will be headed by the Rams' best bet in its football annals for All-American honors, elu sive and slick Charley Law rence, hailed in the "pecan plains" of Georgia as the "Tam pa express." Lawrence, a 6-1, 190-pound-senior, runs from the split end position. On the opposite side, just as devastating and perhaps a step faster, is little Chuck Henry, manning the flanker back post. Holding down the strong side of the forward wall at tight end will be Chris Roulhac, the 6-5, 215-pound "strongman," who edged out David Welles as a regular last season. Welles re turns to the fold also for an other tussle between the_ two for the regular berth on the '67 eleven. into a tie with St. Louis . which split a doubleheader with New York. It was the first tim e since June 7, 1963, the Cubs were in first place. They finishe d last in 1966 and have not finished in the first division since 1946. The first hit off Jei ikir.s, an All-Star selection, was Vada Pinson's sixth homer 1 lading off the fourth inning. Art Shamsky followed with a single;, and Lee May got the other K' ft in the eighth. Randy Hundley doubled in one Chicago run in the second, and hits by Ron Santo, Lee Thomas j in four sedans and three sta [ tion wagons. This allowed tires I to be compared on different [ cars with different handling | characteristics. Each driver started on. one set of tires ( either rayon I or nylon cord) and drove them i through the test course. When i they had the "feel" of that set, I they drove to the for a quick tire change, and then re turned to the track in the same car where they repeated all maneuvers. This kind of comparison is one that the general public never gets a chance to make. It is only by actually driv ing on two different sets of tires, one immediately after the other, that differences in stability, handling and con ! trol can best be detected. Almost without exception, | each of the test drivers found | considerably more weaving ' and sway in their cars during I sudden changes of direction on nylon cord tires. As Junior ■ Johnson put it, "I had to dq a lot more steering with the ny lons than I did on the rayons. The rayon tires just seemed to stick tighter and give me more control." added. He had three three-putts in one round and he had a dou ble bogey in each of the first three rounds. "I have driven well here and long," Grant continued. "Today I think I hit some awfully good tee shots, especially on holes when they count." Bob Bryant of Charlotte, who matched par with a 72 Satur day, and was in Grant's three some, congratulated Grant, say inz: "That was a very fine round Sonny. As a matter of fact, it was the best I've seen in a long time." . . .
