Wo<v| Products club, this de-
nartmenf is usually furnished
results of their games and can
therefore pass along their re-
spective season's record. Such
is not the ease with all the
clubs and therefore it is impos-
sible to publish complete and
current standings.
This reporter would welcome
news erf any nature on softball
league activities, but unless the
VjA' clubs making tip such loop are
.593 interested enough to submit re-
I suits, etc., of their respective
games, there is a problem. A
phone call or two or three or
maybe four would do the trick
you might say. Yup. it probab-
ly would, but you might he sur-
prised to know that sometimes,
even four phone calls have not
paid off in this respect on num-
erous occasions in the past. Re-
call one such call and was told
that the town I was calling did
not even have a team, so how
would he know what the score
was of yesterday’s game?
According to the information
at hand, Westhoff has a 54)
conference record, but it defin-
itely is not complete. This team
played Wee'atche on June 4 and
Mission Valley on June 18, but
results of these tilts have nev-
er reached this office.
Friday's vis1 tor from West-
. biff has promised to see that
Tii'irsday night game results

day in the future and It is hop-
jed this is true. Now, if only the
rest of the Nubs in the organi-
zation would do the same, all
of us could keep pasted on soft-
hall league doings.

The absence of Homung, con-
sidered by many as the most
versatile back in the league,
has been blamed in part for
the dethroning of the Packers
as champions last season by
the Chicago Bears.
The blond Homung, who ran
and kicked his way to a rec-
ord 176 points in 1960 season,
has been in Green Bay since
April trying to work back Into
the form which made him one
of the greatest scoring threats
in the game.
Physical examinations and a
meeting with coaches will oc
and put their arms around him
in admiration.
For a fact, it is really too bad
that parents from any city
would deprive a youngster from
playing ball because be is a
much superior player than the
others. On the contrary, it
should be an incentive to the
others to try to improve their
own brand of play by trying to
emulate Williams.
If young Robert was not a
member of the union or happen-
ed to be of another race, it
might be understandable.

Otero boys who are currently
attending an area Boy Scout en-
campment at Camp Wooten

un.ible to work with others as

Oiler reigns from Frank (Pop)
Ivy after the Oilers recorded
their worst season in history —
6 wins and 8 losses. The 1963
campaign was the only one in
which the Oilers failed to w’in
the Eastern Division champion-
ship.
All the Oiler offensive veter-
ans and one defensive standout
— Bobby Jancik — will report
along with the excellent crop of
rookies signed by Oiler owner
K. S. (Bud) Adams Jr. Jancik
will be given a try at split end
this season.
Baugh plans three a day
workouts for the first five days
and will then drop off to only
two a day. Normally rookies
report a week earlier than the
veterans but Baugh felt he
needed the offensive veterans
early since it takes a little
longer to organize a new of-
fensive setup.
Workouts are set for 9 a.m.
to 10:30 a.m. for the rookies,
4 to 5:30 p.m. for the veterans
and 6 to 7:30 p.m. for the rook-
ies again Baugh has not an-
nounced workout times after the
first five days but it win likely
be once in the morning and
again in the evening. The pub-
lic is invited to attend any or
all of the practice sessions.
