Championships were no novelty then, has but it has been several years since a Tiger squad 21-0 win really been taken seriously by opponents. Their over Provo Bulldogs was a real eye opener.

Even Brigham Young Wildcats can be tough if Coach Grant Bushman .can field a team free from injuries and sickness. The 33-- 6 win over Union Wednesday was a tribue to both coaches and players. Bushman was able to use only one quarterback, two halfbacks and two fullbacks from his regular squad, and ' all turned in iron man performances. At that two of his stars were injured and it is hoped that they will be ready for next week. Counting noses has traditionally been a common pastime with sports coaches, but this year the tune seems to jV have change a bit, and it is the running noses, that get the attention and cause the deepest concern. Most of the high schools were ready with teams this week, but it was fortunate that Teachers Institute gave most of them 4 chance to patch up injuries and get flu stricken players back in togs. All teams should be ready for the first time next week with full complement of players. MBy By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Casey Stengel says don't get excited, help is on the way. "We know we got problems and we're gonna do something about 'em," the Yankee manager explained today. "They tell me we have a lotta talent on our farm dubs Denver and if we can't and Richmond get what we need there, we may eyen make a deal." Stengel said he would have a dearer picture of the Yankees' outlook for 1968 after he conferred with General Manager George Weiss within the next few days. It is no secret, though, that Casey is looking for a left fielder. "I played a lot of guys there this year," he said. "Some were fair and others didn't do so good. We might have someone in our organization who can do the job, or maybe even Tony Kubek." Regardless of whether Norm Siebern, a Denver graduate, or Kubek inherits the post, it certainly appears that Veteran Enos Slaughter's days with the Yankees are numbered. At 41, Slaughter 'still gives it the old college try but he doesn't figure in the club's e plans. the Among players they are to give up in a winter willing deal, .are pitchers Don Larsen, Art Ditmar and Al Cicotte; Andy Carey, Gerry Cole Harry Simpson 11 11 11 11 un 11 11 II SPANISH FORK "What a funny old bird is the pelican . . ." This one is no longer very funny and he will never be any older. The incident occurred yesterday at the Lake Shore farm of Karl Dunn. It began with a thunderous noise which caused Mr. Dunn to suddenly airplane-lik- e look upward in time to see a giant pelican plummeting down to land at his feet. The "funny old bird" was dropped from a great height by an eagle, as is commonly, done by these huge birds in killing their prey. Evidently Mr. Dunn's presence proved too much for the eagle, for it flew away and left the deceased pelican, which was f6und to have a wingspread of inches and a weight of 15 pounds 10 ounces. 95 By RAY W.

He said rumors that he might quit because of illness were groundless. "I feel great," said Haney. The only "problems" hot serious yet are in the pitching corps and possibly in the outfield if Billy Bruton's injured knee doesn't hold up next spring. Pitching May Need Help If Bruton is unable to play, the Braves will probably give one of their farmhands probably serviceman Al Spangier a job. The pitching staff, headed by Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette, and including Bob Buhl, Bob Trowbridge, Don McMahon and Gene Conley, is not ready for the scrap pile. But it could use a little help. The likes of Taylor Phillips and Dave Jolly prohably will be in the minors next season to make room for some of the prized rookie huriers such, as Carleton Willey and Joey Jay, two of the reasons Wichita won the American Asso ciation pennant.
