LITTLE BLUES OPENSEASON
WITH HEATWAVE
The Ligon High School Little
Blues opened its 28th year of
football last Friday night under
the reins of veteran football
Coach “Pete’ ’ Wi 1 lia m s by
trampling Williston High, of
Wilmington, 48-6, at Chavis
Park here.
S u b s t i t u t i o n s for the Lit
tle Blues only proved to in
crease the intensity of the
host’s attack, as the subs acted
in the final period of play, by
rolling up 20 points. It was the
first game of the season for both
clubs.
Co-captain Harold Allen,
halfback for the Blues, scored
a pair of T. D.’s as Ligonrolled
up 4"1 years of offense includ
ing 200 in the aid. J. D. Lewis
proved his facts on the gridiron,
lr. addition to his considerable
tennis talent, by sneaking in
from a yard out and teaming
with end" Willie Pulley on a
93-yard pass play.
Forty-seven yards were
gained in the final seconds of
play by the Williston Club as the
visiters scored their only T. D.
of the game on a toss from
Oecrfiv Batts to Franklin John
son.
The Blues’ defense forced the
Williston Tigers to turn over the
ball seven times during the
ti a ’ three by fumbles and two
by interceptions. Ligon
was guilty cf five fumbles, but
the visitors did not take advan
tage of these grac* periods
which were granted by the Little
Blues.

MAYS, MARICHAL KEY TO
GIANTS’ FLAG VICTORY
CHICAGO - - Sportsfans
everywhere are well acquainted
with the phrase, ‘ As Willie
Mays Goes, So Go the Giants.'
However, in ail fairness, that
phrase should row be amended
to read, “As Mays and Juan
Marichal Go, So Co the Giants,”
lor both men have figured stout
ly in the Giants currant pennant
drive.
This hi vd an alter r:r. - • slicV

But let’s look at hull;
tested National League per. vr:
race as a whole. '-•■ ho are th st
men, teamwise, and what :
them stand out I '.’
M :ys, and M rricha’. i r of
course, the Giants big stars--
the main stars on whom the Ben-
Ails pin their hopes.
For the Pittsburgh P-rates,
no at tnis v,t ting"ere le*.o; ag
of he Giar. the big s-ursare
Robertc Clemente, Matty Atou
and turn; Siargell— all stick
men.
And the Dodgers team, pm «r
main hope or, the strong arm
Sand; Koufax. the dazzling
o; vvee M aury it .ns „;. .
clv.tc’r. playing of veteran Tin.: -
Gilliam.
Teamwise, the Buns scorn to
be the vrost balanced team,
Though not overpowering, thev
have the most consistent!*, ef
fective hitters ir; Clemente,Alou
and Srargell. The Pirates also
ha ce m o r e than adequate pitch -
ing with Vernon Law and Bop
Veale among their main stays.
The Dodgers have a decided
edge in pitching, with their big
star being 22-game winner Kou
fax, and the best relief men in
the business in Ron Perrlnoski,
Phil Regan and Bob Miller. The
Dodgers likewise have adequate
hitting and the best running team
in the league. Here is where
Wills stands out as the greatest
base steadier in baseball history.
The Giants, meanwhile, hold
the edge in explosive power at
the piste. Such sluggers as Wil
lie Mays, who had 34 home runs
at this writing; Jim Ray Hart
(31), and big Willie McCorey,
strike fear in the hearts of op
posing pitchers.
The Giants also boast the two
leading pitchers in the league,
with Marichal (21-5) and Jim
Perry (21-6) having won 4 2
games among them.
Moreover, the Giants drip
with confidence, and are especi
ally rough on the opposition vr
home. This is a key factor, be
cause, of the 21 Giants games
remaining (as of Sept. 3), 13
ere to be played at home,
mostly against second-division
opponent. They had nine (9)
ga m s slate d away from
Car die stick Park.
Tin' main force on the Gi~
is Mays, who car.
bear ; or. in a number of dread
ful ways—at bat, in the field,
an or. the base path, as he
do. in propelling his team to an
rsrtsrr 3-2 win over the Dod
gers list week. Willie scored
the i.. ksivo ru all the -.vayfrom
fl - „-;c- ;.n a single.
The Dodgers (Sep;. 8) had 24
games remaining, including
se.en (7) against the Giants,
ivur agsrtst Los Angeles,three
against Philadelphia, four
«gainst Atlanta, three against
Si. .yov, andc ,c against Hous
ton. a pretty rough schedule
for the Bin s.
as the . :(■ rd clearly shows,
■w: tt.-t: ;> tvo close to equal
■ ; rail ability. So the chan
ces are tha por-nant will ire de
cide-". largely by individual ef
forts. And that’s what makes
players mentioned earlier
the key men in the race.
A sustained hot streak, pitch
ing or hitting, by anyone of these
stars ear. carry his team to the
S' flag. CL: -h. plating is also
of great importance.
Phis being the case then, I
am willing to go out once more
on the proverbial limb and pick
the Giants tc v-.n.
Why? Because of two fellas
named Willie Mays and Juan
Marichal.
55 Prospects
Report At
Livingstone
SALISBURY - Coach John D.
Marshall, 11, was greeted by 55
prospects as the Livingstone
College Bears opened drills for

quarterback and leading passer

Gibson, tight end who was the
runner-up in pass receptions
for the 1965 season.
Livingstone coaches express
optimism about the season and
the rugged ten-game schedule
the Bears must face. The end
positions will be ably manned by
returning veterans with some
good freshman prospects fig
uring in the attack. The interi

Jets’ Coach Weeb Ewbank
Has Problem And Likes It
New York Jets’ football coach
Weeb Ewbank has aproblem. j
His ace quarterback has been
sidelined for almost a month.
The problem is so severe that
Weeb has chuckled his way
- four straight pre
season victories. He may still
be laughing on Friday night when
his Jets open the 1966 Ameri
can Football League season
against the new Miami Dolphins
in Miami.
The inoperative quarterback
is Joe Namath, the AFL’s Rook
ie-of-the-Year last season. Na
math damaged a knee in New
York’s first pre-season game,
back on August 13, and hasn’t
been to the post since.
With Namath In the role of
spectator, Mike Taliaferro, the
so-called back-up man, dir
ected the Jets to triumphs over
Houston, Miami, the defending
champion Buffalo Bills and Bos
ton for a perfect pre-season
record. What’s more, Tali
aferro, may just make history
repeat itself for Mr. Ewbank,
Down in Baltimore a few
years back, a coach named Weeb
Ewbank had a successful quar
terback named George Shaw.
Shaw got hurt, and E-bank went
to an unheralded performer
named John Unitas. When Shaw
got healthy, Ewbank stuck with
Unitas. . .and won a bundle of
football games.
So what happens when Namath
is healthy?
“It’s axiomatic in sports that
you don't change a winner,’’Ew
bank says candidly.
Enough said, at least for the
moment. Taliaferro, somehc
pronounced Toi'.iver. is a win
ner at this juncture. Sc are the
Jets.
If Taliaferrc didn’t prove that
he belongs by pegging ir.; New

and who is No. 2 :
“No, we don’t,” said Talia
ferro, a 6-2, 205-pound bachelor
who wouldn’t be a bad bet for
a screen test in the off-season.
“It just never comes up. We
talk about other things. We get
along just fine.’’
Would Taliaferro be satisfied
to be No. 2 ? Not on your life.
“If you’re willing to be second
string,” he offered, “that’s
what you’ll always be. ..second
string.”
“You always try as hard as
you can,” Mike continued.
“Look at Buffalo. Daryle Ba
rn on lea is a good quarterback
and he’s playing behind Jack
Kemp, but I’m sure that Lamon
ica gives it everything he has.”
Namath considers Taliaferro
the Jet’s quarterback. “Mike
has played and I haven’t/*
Joe points out. “. . .and look
at our first .wo games. We play
Miami and Houston, teams we
have played already this year...
and beaten,. .with Mike in there.

Capsule comment by Joe Col
lier, coach of the Buffalo Bills;
“Ladd or no Ladd, San Diego's
as strong as last year.” Joe
made the remark following the
Chargers 27-7 win over his
Dills last Sunday,
