However. World War II entered the picture and Brown resigned from his Buckeye coaching job tu enter the service. While he was in the service, Paul Brown was contacted bv4 a group of Cleveland businessmen that were interested in starting a franchise in tlie Football Conference-th- e professional circuit that was tlie immediate forerunner of the National Foot-liaLeague. Tlie gist of the argument presented to Brown was Cleveland that the pro team occupying Cleveland at the time-th- e Rams-wa- s I Cleveland would .os in to and, effect, Angeles moving then be up for gratis; an added incentive presented to Brown was that the Cleveland team would carry his moniker: they would be called tlie Cleveland Browns. Brown accepted the offer (with added inducement of a certain percentage of stock in the chili nut hurting the deal by any means) and immediately liegau scouting the service football teams for available talent. To say tliat he profited from his scouting endeavors would lie an understatement, for Brown took under his calibre: Otto Graham, Lou Groza, wing players of the super-stDub Jones, Dante Lavelli, and Max Speedie to name but a few. When the war ended, Brown had the foundation for a dynasty that continued through the early 1960's; at that time, The Master profoundly was handed his walking papers by a new Cleveland Brown owner, Art Nlodell. Since he still had a niunlier of years to go on his contract when handed the pink slip. Brown decided to relax, enjoy life, and draw his S60.0IX) per annum (he still had a nuinlier of years to go on a multi-yea- r contract when fired by the Browns). However, the coaching bug did his thing on Paul Brown, and he reentered the coaching ranks in 1967 as the head mentor of the new Cincinnati Bengals of the American Fixitliall League. An interesting sidelight that exhibits Brown's tremendous popoccured at this point: Radio ularity in the Station WERE, Cleveland, had carried the Cleveland Browns games since tlie end of World War II (which, amazingly enough, is the exact time when Paul Brown put the Cleveland Browns on the field for the 1st time): Radio Station WERE continued to carry the Cleveland Browns games while Paul Brown was enjoying his retirement; Radio Station WERE dropped the Cleveland Browns games in 1967 in order to broadcast the Cincinnati Bengals games back into Cleveland. Now, being an old radio and television man, I know that no radio station will made such a drastic move unless it is economically feasible and profitable; IT IS economically feasible and profitable for Radio Station WERE to broadcast the Cincinnati Bengal games across the state of Ohio into Cleveland-tha- t many people still follow Tlie Master"! In his first year at Rhiiictowu, Brown tied an expansion team record by winning three games. Granted, winning three games, during a pro football season is anything but spectacular; however, the manner in which Brown won those three games IS spectacular: he did it by relying on youth, and again demonstrated his h knack for picking out fixitliall by uncoverRobinson rookie one had Paul Robinson; only year of college ing footlxdl experience, but under the tutoring of Coach Brown, the rookie halfliack led the AFL in rushing and liecame the only rookie in the entire history of pro fixitliall to gain over 1(XX) yards oil the ground.

How well will Cincinnati do in the years to come? Well, as one AFL head coach put it, Paul Browns coaching them, isnt ). Tlie Miners made it 12-- 0 with six minutes left in the first half when Butler hit his fullliack with a pass on the Mustangs 10 yard line and the fullback had clear sailing into the end zone. The Mustangs got on the scorelxMinl with five minutes left in the third quarter when defensive center Pat Antry intercepted a defected pass and returned it to the Park City 16 yard line. Half-liac-k Dean Daniel then scored the Mustangs only touchdown as he carried five straight times, going over from the two yard line. Rasmussen accounted for the final score of the game when he went over from the seven yard line as the Miners went 27 yards in seven plays following a short Mustang punt. Poor officiating let the hard fought game get completely out of hand during the last few minutes of the contest as there were eight penalties walked off on the last nine plays of the contest. The Mustang were able to pick up only 51 net yards on the ground with Daniel accounting for 41) in 14 carries. Fullliack Eddie Owens had 13 yards in five carries but quarterixtek Mike Donnelly hit on three of six passes gwxl for 23 yards with Danny Vanderixiegh catching two gixxl for 16 yards.

Martin was running ;n fair territory instead of on the foul side of the line. There is a special marking on a baseball field for this lane: a white line, three feet to the foul side and parallel to the foul line, extending the last 45 feet of the distance between home plate and first base. Then there was tlie old shoe polish on the ball trick. It was the Mets half of the sixth in what prove to be the final game of Cleon Jones claimed he had the Series. Baltimore was leading been hit by a Dave McNallys slider. Home plate umpire1, Lou disagreed and the argument was on. Then slowly and calmly from the Mets dugout strolled manager Gil Hodges. He walked over the Dimuro and asked to see the baseball (I wonder if he would have given it to Orioles manager Earl Weaver if the situation was reversed). Hodges pointed to a scuff mark on the baseball and Dimuro wiping the egg off his face, awarded Jones first base. Don Clcndenon followed with a homer, and the Mets were on their way. Do you believe in magic? You know troops, there is a rumor going around that when the Vatican ditched St. Christopher the Mets adopted him.
