Jim Brown Now faking Cues From
Film Director, Rather Than Coach
LONDON - Jim Brown faked
the defensive man left, went
to his right and caught the wob
bly pass for his second touch
down of the day.
The play and the moves were
good considering the graceful
Cleveland fullback was wear
ing floppy boots without laces
and droopy army fatigues. A
further handicap was the play
ing field itself—a cobble-ston
ed courtyard of a 13th century
English castle littered with mo
tion picture equipment and tech
nicians.
It’s the same Jim Brown whc
holds nearly every NFL rush
ing record, but. today he’s tak
ing his cues from film direc
tor Robert Aldrich rather tna.u
Cleveland coach Blanton Coi
ner. And his new teammates
are Academy Award winners
Lee Marvin and Ernest Borg
nine instead of Frank Ryan and
Gary Collins.

Brown -- in London for a
starring role in the Kenneth
Hyman-MGM World War II ac
tion drama, “The Dirty Doz
en ’ -- says he honestly doesn’t
know if he-’ll ever play pro
fessional football this year -
or ever.
“The Dirty Dozen’’ is
Brown’s second picture, but his
first major role. He had a small
part in a forgettable western
several years ago, but as he
says, “this is a big part with
a lot of substance.’’
“The picture is set in England
just before D. Day. The Dirty
Dozen are 12 condemned Gl’s
who have been convicted of
crimes like murder, rape and
armed robbery. We’re given a
chance for a pardon if we suc
cessfully complete what a
mounts to a suicide mission in
enemy territory just before the
invasion. The story is about
what happens to these 12 mean
guys during training and the
mission itself. The dozen are
all tough and sneaky sort
of a combination Sam Huff and
Johnny Unitas.’’
Brown approaches his acting
with the same intenseness he
approaches football. When he
not actually working in a scene,
he spends his time studying the
script or watching his co~ stars -
Marvin, Borgnine, Robert Ry
an, John Cassavetes, Clint Wal
ker, Charles Bronson and Tel
ly Savalas,
Producer Ken Hyman and star
Lee Marvin agree that Brown
could enjoy a “long and happy
career as an actor.’’
■ 'Not onl\ does the guj nave
a tremendous amount otdrive,’’
says the voung producer, •■'•he’s
got all the tools. He’s arti
culate, he’s a big good looking
guy and he learns fast.”
About Brown’s acting skills,
Lee Marvin jokingly says, “How
Four-Hit
Pitching
Pays Off
GREENSBORO - The battle
of the pitchers proved benefi
cial to the J. W. Ligon High
School Little Blues last Wed
nesday night here, as Lemuel
Jones’ four-hit pitching and
Dennis Peebles amazing hitting
ability, led Ligon to a 4-3
win over the Greensboro squad
and the North Carolina High
School Athletic Conference
State baseball title.
Peebles, the Little Blues*
rightfielder, tripled in the
fourth to push acrosjs Ligon’s
first run. He later scored
the second run of the inning
on a single by Jimmy Robin
son. Robinson then came over
on a throwing error by the
Greensboro shortstop on a ball
hit by catcher James Melvin.
I.igon scored its final run
in t! fifth. Donald Poole reach
lirst on an error and went
to second on a passed Dan.
1 * I hen scored on a single by
Peebles.
Jones, who went the distance
for his eighth win of the year,
struck out eight and walked only
two. A single by first base
man Bob McNair which account
ed for two of Dudley’s three
i uns was the only damaging
blow. Dudley scored its oth
er run in a run down between
third and home.
The I.igon victory stopped a
bid by Dudley for its third
State title in a row. It was
I Agon's first champ ions hi p
since 19G2 and the fifth for
the Little Blues in the last
nine years.
The win gives Ligon a final
sea son mark of If -1 under Coach
•' '--to williams while Dudley fin
ishes 15-2.
Williams was impressed by
bv the play of Peebles. “He
did a tremendous job in the
Held as well as at bat. He
mate several good catches
which helped a lot.”
Williams also noted, “I
thought we could hit Cummings.
Therefore we went into the game
as first’ ball hitters and it paid
off.”
Williams thought his players
were extremely tough in the
playoffs, especially Jones.
He related, “Lemuel is the
best lefthander I have had at
I.igon, He pitched every game
in the playoffs and did a great
job.”
On -winning the title Williams
said, “We won the close ones
and that’s what counted.”

In a game and limp slowly
and apparently painfully back to

acting, I don’t know what is.,
but, seriously, if Jimstayswith
it, I think he'll be a great
one.”
Actor Telly Savalas -- who
plays a Negro-baiting racist
in the picture—tells another
story about Brown the actor.
“There s a big scene during
our training where I’m sitting
next to Jimmy. The Major
asks if we've got any ques
tions about procedures. My
line is 'do we have to eat
with niggers?’ and Jim is sup
posed to jump me. We rehears
ed it once and everything was
fine. During the actual take
he hit me so hard we knock
ed o- er the cameraman and as
sistant director.”
Brown is not so complimen
tary about his new profession
and candidly admits he's still
learning.
“These guys—Marvin, Ryan,
Cassavetes—they’ re the pros, ’ ’
h says, “and I’m the rookie.
The first day on the set 1
felt outclassed in the company
of two Oscar winners and a
dozen other stars. Then Bob
Aldrich told me I was doing

a rookie in a football training

AMONG THE STARS
DETROIT--Even though dee
jay Edward James Loves is still
commanding officer of “Desti
nation Jazz,” heard over
WCHD-FM nightly, soulfuljack
Springer is coming into his own
as a disc jockey of substance.
Springer also hosts a Sunday
afternoon Sit-In at theClubSta
dtum which features some of the
grooviest jazz muslcans in the
Motor City.
On hand recently was Hindle
Butts, former drummer with
Aretha Franklin, and Wayman
Stoudemire, Detroit's finest
tenor saxman. Many of the local
musicians have been enlisted
in the area poverty program
and are teaching teenagers the
joys of jazz.
Harold McKinney, Detroit's
foremost musical genius and
one of the finest pianists in the
nation, heads up a neighbor
hood community aid cultural
program, and vocalist Laura
Johnson has become an Integral
part of the project.
On a much subtler plane, De
troit is still a swinging town
for Jazz buffs and I was thrill
ed to see so many of my old
buddies still pushing and pro
moting jazz. I regret that I
did not have the opportunity to
talk with Gene Elzy, another’
fast-rising Motor City disc joc
*key who encouraged mj early
efforts in that town.
