Ever since batting instructor Paul Waner told him that the key to hitting is "to get your belly button around first," Callison had been able to keep things in perspective. "Waner kept it simple," Callison says, "and anything simple I can understand." something from a nice guy named Johnny Callison who also finished second. Durocher and his Chicago Cubs perhaps could use some guidance after their drastic collapse of 1969 a September span in which they went from five games ahead to 19-d- six games behind in the National League's Eastern Division race and had the worst record in the major leagues.

His high school coach convinced him he could play professional ball and he finally signed with the White Sox because a history teacher he liked said they had a good organization. The White Sox recorded all that on a promotion film which assured fans cn the banquet Even as the Phillies' collapse circuit that Callison would be that time, but Callison, the veteran who went to began, with four straight losses Rookie of the Year, but the trade to the Milwaukee Braves, club Chicago in an quickly became disenchwith the Philadelphia Phillies, Callison continued to throw his anted after Callison's slow belly button around.

Last December, a teammate of Meggyesy's, reserve offensive guard Rick Sortun, quit, saying pro football was part of the establishment, and he wanted no part of it. "These (Olivers. Meggyseys, Sortuns) are just isolated cases," said Washington Redskin coach Lombardi. "If they want to wear bellbottoms. let 'em join the Navy," said Atlanta Falcon coach Norm van Brocklin. "Meggysey said, 'Come the revolution, football will be obsolete.' I don't know when the revolution is coming, but when it gets here I want the football players on my side," said Detroit Lion coach Joe Schmidt. When the topic was broached to New York Giant coach Alex Webster, he said, "I think I'll have another drink." Oliver's coach, John Madden, was a bit befuddled by it all. "Chip is an extremely deep kid, and he said he wants to be free to do what he wants to do. But he loved the game of football. Yes, we did call him General Loose Wire, but a lot of us have been called that maybe not in those precise words." Meggysey's coach, Charlie Winner, said, "The thing I can't understand is that Dave was a real good hitter, and I thought he liked contact. "Dave said that football was not a 'beautiful experience.' But I think all sports are. I mean, the competition and skills involved help us learn about life, help us understand that we can attain a goal by striving toward it with hard work. And that we fight for a common purpose. "And football is also important to our society because it offers a great release from our pent-u- p emotions. A spectator yells for his team, boos the coach and comes home on Sunday night absolutely beat because he let his frustrations out at the game." But the spectator, unlike the player, also comes home in one piece without the risk of a mangled knee, a dislocated shoulder or a cracked vertebrae, unless he had fallen out of the stands after too many beers.
