K paign after one day of fall drills,
but there were encouraging devel-
‘ . opments in both the Abilene High
# and Cooper High camps Friday
Coach Clovis Riley at Cooper
A was pleased with the flip-flop
' end system, in which his split and
tight ends will always be the same
men but will line up at either side
as the play dictates.
C Owen Smith, who “can catch
I that bail" was running at split
E end on the first unit, while Gerry
Cockrell, "who is one of our best
e blockers,” is the No. 1 tight end.
"It was a typical first day,”
Coach Wally Bullington of the Abi-
lene Eagles said, "but we looked
good on the sweeps when we were
working inside the five-yard line.

“In the line Jooes (guard Jerry)
looked good on the traps while
tackle Buster Cunningham and
split end Hugh Lankford did well
at their new positions."
Cooper lost one boy permanent-
ly Friday while the Eagles will
be without the services of tackle
Buster Collins for several days.
Collins worked out Friday morn-
ing but missed the afternoon drills
because of a virus.
Jimmy Deer, a Junior Varsity
guard in 1961, will be lost to
Cooper because his father is being
transferred to South America.
Cooper also discovered a punt-

Scott caught the eye of Coach
Riley.
"He gets the ball off quick and
is consistent.” Riley pointed out.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) -
Frank Gifford, the New York
Giants’ All-Pro halfback who is
back in the National Football
League wars after a one-year lay-
off, admitted Friday he made a
mistake but insisted he had lost
nothing football-wise in being
away from the game for a season.

at left half, where sophomore Don
Mayfield got the nod.
Freddie Waggoner was the
man-under with veterans Bill Mc-
Kinnon at right half and Drew
Tucker at fullback.
In the line were Smith and Cock-
rell at ends, Bill Tiffany and Ed-
die Lett at tackles, Barry Phillips
and Mike Robertson at guards
and Teddy Myrick at center.
Abilene High had lettermen in
eight spots, as junior halfbacks

CLEVELAND (AP)—The Cleve-
land Indians hit four home runs,
including two by pitcher Dick
Donovan, as they trounced Balti-
more 9-6 Friday night.
The victory was the 18th
against seven losses and the 13th
complete game in 29 starts for
the 34-year-old right-hander.
Donovan hit his third and fourth
homers of the season as the In-
dians' leadoff batter in the third
and fifth innings. R was the sec-
ond time this season he had hit
two homer runs in a game.
Al Luplow hit his 13th home
Gifford retired after receiving
- a deep concussion from a hard
tackle by Philadelphia Eagles’
linebacker Chuck Bednarik when
the two teams were battling for
the Eastern Conference title late
in the 1960 season. He spent last
year as a Giants' scout
“I didn't care too much for the
way I quit,” the handsome, 32-
year-old Southern California for-
mer All-America said. “It wasn't
as bad as I thought it would be,”
Gifford added. "But that comes
from not getting enough work in
the two previous exhibitions and
in our scrimmages. Improvement
comes from constant work and ’
the more of that I get, the better
I'll be." - ,
How long would it take for him
to reach his peak?
"That depends on bow much
work I get," he replied. "I've set
no timetable for myself. I feel
you have to pace yourself in get-
ting ready for a professional foot-
ball season and it's hard when
you have to go 100 per cent all
the time on the field.”
Once he reached top form, did
he think that he still had all his
old skills’

big blow of a four-run rally in

ahead to stay.
Jim Gentile hit his 31st homer

scored four runs. Donovan re-

Hershel Bockman at guard and
Dickie Phipps at the tight end.
Bockman was flashing a shiner
but otherwise there were no in- three innings before Baltimore

Tommy Osborn was quar-
terbacking the second backfield
at Abilene High with Randy
Thompson and Jerry Welch at
halfbacks and Tommy Wilson
at fullback. All but letterman

At Cooper Bobby McCraw was
in charge of the No. 2 backfield,
with George Partin and Bill Boyd,

sity grad James Turner at full-

men.
However Coach Riley was so

“Why, 1 didn't get my first real
good contact workout until our
exhibition game against the Rams
in Los Angeles last Saturday
night. I was very pleased with
the outcome,” he went on.
“My timing still is off but not
seriously before, and I'm not
afraid of going full steam. It's
the only way to avoid getting
hurt "
His play in the Rams’ exhibi-
tion reflected this, when he
gained 40 yards rushing, caught
a couple of passes and completed
one on his still-dangerous pass-
run options.
