Before 60,000
By The Associated Press
Nearly a third of a million
people will turn out in person
today to watch the National
Football League's 14 teams
launch the circuit’s 42nd sea
son in play - for - pay action
from New York to San Fran-
The biggest crowds of 60,000 will
view the fireworks in Philadel
phia’s Franklin Field where the
world champion Philadelphia
Eagles dash with the Cleveland
Browns and in New York's Yankee
Stadium where the New York
Giants battle the St. Louis Car
dinals.
Elsewhere, 53,000 will see the
Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore;
<2,000 the Washington Redskins
at San Francisco; 40,000 the
Detroit Lions against the Green
Bay Packers in Milwaukee;
40.000, the Chicago Bears at
Minnesota's Metropolitan Sta
dium in Minneapolis, and 25,000
the Pgh. Steelers at Dallas.
Additional thousands through
out the land will witness the in
augurals on television.
Philadelphia’s collision with the
Brown’s very likely will prove the
day’s eyebrow lifter. The Eagles,
unbeaten in four NFL exhibitions
games, have a new quarterback
in Sonny Jorgensen, a new coach
in Nick Skorieh and a bitter re

their bridesmaid’s role. Quarter
back Milt Plum seems to have
finally arrived with more poise,
confidence, and skill.
Green Bay, Western Conference
defending champion, piled up a
5-0 record in exhibitions. The
Packers, with Bart Starr at quar
terback, have just about the same
team which bowed 17-13 to the
Eagles in the 1960 title game.
Detroit and Baltimore expect
to have considerable to say
about the Western Conference
title. The Lions, beaten only
by the Eagles (23-14) in the
warmups, have fine speed and
fine receivers. Jimmy Orr should

The Giants-C ardinals get
together will be a battle of crip
ples. Both teams have ailing
quarterbacks, New York’s Charlie
Conerly and Cards’ Sam Etchever

Los Angeles has a new quarter
back, Norm Snead, to direct its
new all-out, three-end attack de
signed for explosiveness. John
Brodie and rookie Bill Kilmer will
alternate at piloting San Fran
cisco’s “shotgun” attack.
George Halas. starting his 341 h
season as Bear's coach, has no
worries at quarterback with Ed
Brown. Bill Wade, and Dick
Norman but is concerned over
his deep defensive backs. Minn
esota is using the three-end of

Hugh McElhenny and rookie
Tommy Mason at running back.
New faces, including that of Big
Daddy Lipscomb, dot the Steelers’
lineup, but quarterback Bobby
Layne is still around. Dallas Coach
Tom Landry says the Cowboys,
beginning their second season,
"are still building.”

Retire No. 27
Navy football Jersey No. 27,
made famous by a halfback named
Joe Bellino, will never appear on
the Naval Academy gridiron again.
Bellino’s No. 27 has been “retired”
from active duty and will be
placed on display in the trophy
case at the Naval Academy Field
House.
Bellino, Navy’s only Heisman
Trophy winner in the history of
football at Annapolis, was a un
animous selection as All-American
halfback and "Outstanding Col
lege Football Player of the Year.”
The new Navy ensign, who gradu
ated June 7, has been assigned to
the Academy to assist in coaching
the plebe backfield. He is due to
report for duty aboard the cruiser
USS Norfolk in December.
During his four years at the
Naval Academy, Joe almost com

books.
Ticket Sales
To Set Record
Virtually every county in Penn
sylvania and 12 states are repre
sented in the 1961 football ticket
sale at Penn State.
E. M. Czekaj, business manager
of athletics, said season ticket
sales will reach a new high of
8000 or more before the opening
game against Navy Saturday.
Czekaj said the sections re
served for season tickets have
been expanded to take care of all
the requests.
He attributed the new interest
in season tickets to the attractive
ness of home schedules during the
next decade.

Buddy Parker had to make some
changes Friday in the Pittsburgh
Steelers’ starting offensive lineup
for their National Football League
opener at Dallas today because of
injuries.
End Bob Coronado sprained his
ankle in practice and halfback
Tom Tracy was hampered by a
toe injury.
Parker said flanker back Bud

spot and rookie Bill Mack will
play at Dial’s post. Fullback John
Henry Johnson will play left half
