Charley Bailey Sayg:

Bison Home Runs

IT'S LATER THAN you think if you remember:

The late Frank J. Offermann paying $50 bonuses for Bison home runs. Offermann was president of the club, and later served as Erie County sheriff. A genuine sports­man and all-around class fellow.

The down-and-outers free load­ing at the Hotel De Gink, a lower Main St. haven for the homeless.

Charley Bailey Willard Weiss winning two amateur boxing titles in one night—the 160 and 175-pound crowns. This was back in 1931 and it was the first time in Buffalo boxing history that a fighter performed this iron man stunt.

A hale and hearty guy to this day, Willard looks right now as if he could defend both titles.

WHEN CANISIUS COLLEGE basketball teams and professional wrestlers occasionally performed in the St. John Kanty Lyceum in Swinburne St.

My onetime co-worker, Al Alexander, reminds me that Rudy LaDitzi was among the grapplers who showed there, and so too was Karol Nowina, nephew of the noted Zbyszko brothers, Stanley and Walter.

When the drop kick was an important factor in football and when basketball coaches benched players for shooting one handed.

When Sunday baseball was verboten in Buffalo, and the Bisons played some of their Sabbath contests at the old Schwabl grounds at Genesee St. and Pine Ridge Rd., Cheektowaga. The hat was passed during the games and the fans generally responded gener­ously.

THE FAMOUS ORIOLES basketball team, man­aged by Al Heerdt, doing iron man duty with three games in one day, a Sunday.

They opened the triple-header with a 4 p.m. game in the Falcon Nest gymnasium in Playter St., followed that with a go in Lancaster, and com­pleted the day with an evening game in Tona­wanda.

When amateur box­ers had to fight an extra round to deter­mine a winner if the officials d e c r e e d a draw at the end of the r e g u l a t i o n three rounds.

The marathon series between Frankie Schoell and Harry Fuller in the old Broadway Auditorium ring.

Binghamton Five Plays UB Tonight

By BOB POWELL i Binghamton, better-known as The t n i v r r s t y of Buffalo's re-1Harpur College, has scored tri

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Jack Nicklaus blasted out a four-un-der-par 68 Thursday to top the field in the first round of the $150,000 Andy Williams-San Die­go Open Golf tournament.

The Big Bear from Columbus, Ohio, admittedly launching a campaign to regain some of the major laurels he failed to win last year, shot 33-35—68.

Skies were bright but a chill­ing breeze whipped over the par 36-36—72, 6,884-yard Torrey Pines municipal course border­ing the Pacific.

"It was a pretty good opening round for me," said Nicklaus, who made a run to win the event last year but came up short in the final round. His most eye-catching shot was a 30-foot birdie putt through the fringe of grass on the par 3 sixth hole.

• • * One shot back, with 34-35—69,

was 39-year-old Dow Finster-wald, whose last tournament victory was in the 1963 Indian­apolis Open.

"I don't play quite as well or as often as I used to," said Fin-sterwald, who spends much of his time as a club pro at Colora­do Springs.

The course, the players agreed, played longer because of heavy rains earlier this week. As a result, only eight of the 144 players who started out man­aged to break par.

Tied at 70 were Larry Ziegler of Bonne Terre, Mo., 34-36; Dave Eichelberger of Waco, Tex., 35-35; and San Diego' vet­eran Gene Littler, 36-34.

The 71's were Jim Colbert, 34-37; Hugh Royer, 35-36; and Jerry Abort, 36-35.

The heavily stocked par 72 group included Billy Casper with 38-34.

U.S. Open champion Lee Trevino shot 37-38—75 while the winners of the three major tour­naments in California this year also were back in the pack.

• • • George Archer, the Bing

Crosby winner last Monday had 38-35—73; Miller Barber, Kaiser International champ, 37-35—72; and Charlie Sifford, Los Angeles Open winner, 39-39—78.

Finsterwald's round was unu­sually good because he played later in the day when it was tru­ly cold. His best shot came on the third hole when he pitched up from 23 feet, hit the pin and the ball plopped in for a birdie duece.

Several players picked up. One was Doug Sanders who sur­rendered after hitting two shots out of bounds on the ninth hole. Rich Martinez of San Clemenle, Calif., also gafe up when he was 10-over-par for nine holes— with a 10 on a par 4 hole.

Arnold Palmer was among those not entered in this 72-hole event.

What's New, Harry? "DUE TO ALL THE EXCITEMENT GENERATED by our

drafting of O. J. Simpson, the Trojan terror who's going to bring back the Bills from the dead, Sam," Harry remarked, "I forget to tell you how charged up I get last Saturday, when I watch the Professional Bowlers Association show on Channel 7.

"I get all charged up because that little guy from Texas, Skee Foremsky—a fellow I help out four years ago—turns in a sensational performance in the finals and picks up the big end of the loot, $10,000, in the $60,000 Showboat Bowling Tour­nament in Las Vegas.

"It 's truly gratifying, Sam, to see a guy you've helped come through.

"I lend Foremsky a helping hand when I bowl with him in the 1965 Pro-Amateur at the Fairlanes, the event that precedes the annual $45,000 Greater Buffalo Open at John Cerullo's joint in Depew.

"IN THE PRO-AM, AN AMATEUR IS PAIRED with a pro­fessional. Their three-game scores, plus the amateur's handicap, are totaled. The pros do not share in the Pro-Am prize money, which means it's actually amateur night for the pros, and vice versa.

"On this particular night in 1965, they're giving away 43 prizes—topped by a juicy $1,000. So its a very important night for me . . . because I'm dead broke.

"In the draw for partners, I 'win' Foremsky. "Since I never hear of Foremsky, I ask John Cerullo about

him.

" 'Foremsky's a lefty from El Paso,' Cerullo says, 'and they tell me he's got a terrific ball.'

"And Cerullo winds up being right, Sam. Skee Foremsky does have a terrific ball—a shiny, brand-new, black one, with which he simply cannot find the pocket.

J "WHEN WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH THE first game, I

can understand why Foremsky's not wearing a shirt with his name on the back. Foremsky prefers to remain anonymous.

"During the session, Foremsky leaves the 3-5-6-9 bucket about a dozen times, the 4-6 split twice, and the 6-7-10 split once.

"Even though his terrible performance is costing me a shot at a slice of the prize-money pie, I don't get sore at Skee— because I feel sorry for him.

"Once, while he's up there firing away, I thumb through the PBA record book and discover that poor Skee, in three years on the tour, totals only $5,590 in earnings . . . which means he's got to skip a meal here and there.

"That's when 1 decide to give Foremsky a little help.

IN ABOUT THE EIGHTH OR NINTH frame of the last game, right after he leaves the 4-6 split and settles for nine pins again, I say to Foremsky:

" 'Skee, on your approach, I think it will help you if you move just a wee bit—maybe a board and a half—to the r ight '

"Then, when the night's over—a night, Incidentally, oo which I whip Foremsky, 57? to 552—I shake Skee'S hand and wish him good luck.

"And that's the last time I lay eyes on Foremsky—until last Saturday, on the teevee bowling show from Las Vegas.

"Foremsky, on the show, polishes off three opponents and picks up the ten grand by rolling games of 265, 266 and 276. Imagine that, Sam—807 for three games!

"I'm so happy I gave Skee that advice four years ago."

"SAY, HARRY," SAM SAID, "When's the Greater Buffalo Open start at the Fairlanes this year?"

It starts February 25th, with the Pro-Am—which, Incidentally, has a $2,000 top prize this time—and runs through Saturday, March 1st.

"And thanks for asking." "Why?" "Because Cerullo promised to let me put the $50 Pro-Am

entry fee on the cuff if I mentioned the dates."

As Coach —

Was Ewbaiik Aide 6 Years

BOSTON (AP) _ Clive Rush, moukter of the attack which carried the New York Jets to pro football supremacy last sea­son, was named coach of the Boston Patriots Thursday.

Rush, 37, has been the top aide to Coach Weeb Ewbank of the Jets for the last six years. He was the chief archkect of the offense that ted New York to the American Football League title and a Super Bowl victory over the Baltimore Colts last season,

Rush, a native of Springfield, Ohio, played for the Green Bay packers in the NFL after an out­standing college career at Mi­ami of Ohio, often called the Cradle of Coaches.

He was a receiver, defensive back and punter with the Pack­ers.

• • • Rush began his coaching ca­

reer as an assistant to Hugh De-vore at Dayton in 1953. He moved to Ohio State under Woody Hayes, and while there the Buckeyes won the Big Ten titles in 1955 and 1957. They also won the national championship and the Rose Bowl in the latter season.

Rush spent one year as an as­sistant to Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma in 1958, then was head coach at Toledo for the next three seasons.

When Sonny Werblin pur­chased the Jets in 1963 and named Ewbank coach, Ewbank plucked Rush from the college ranks as ihs offensive coach and top aide.

Rush coordinated the Jets' of­fensive, aiding in the develop­ment of quarterback Joe Na-math and receiving special praise for his work with ace re­ceivers Don Maynard and George Sauer.

Rush replaces Mike Holovak as coach. Holovak was fired as coach and general manager this month. No new general manag­er has been signed.

Rush and Patriots' president William H. Sullivan Jr., who had met in New York for the past two days to iron out the de­tails, told the news conference in Boston that the contract was for three years. Terms were not disclosed.

Free Agents Become Top Bills' Topic

By JIM PETERS Free agents — those players

who weren't among the 442 se­lected in pro football's collegiate draft Tuesday and Wednesday — became the Bills' chief topic of conversation Thursday.

Coach Johnny Rauch has in­dicated the Bills may sign more free agents than has been their custom in recent years. Last summer, the club had only two free agents—quarterback Gordie Gotts and linebacker Lou Slaby— on hand when training camp opened.

Calgary Has Helton The Bills learned Thursday

their No. 7 draft choice, defen­sive end John Helton, has signed with the C a n a d i a n Football League's Calgary Stampeders.

Other business facing Rauch in the immediate future is the com­pletion of his staff of assistants. As yet, he has not announced which members of the 1968 staff wiU be retained. Several appoint­ments probably will be made over the weekend.

Rauch hinted Grambllng quar-terback Jim Harris, drafted in the eighth round Wednesday, may be tried at other positions in his rookie season.

Will Work at QB. Too "We're going to work him at

quarterback, too," said Rauch, "but he's a very fine all-around athlete and there may be several different positions where he can help the Bills quicker than at quarterback."

This was Rauch's theory at Oak­land last season, too, when he worked rookie Eldridge Dickey at quarterback and flanker. Dickey is slated for full-time duty at quarterback next seaste.
