f | i ; ; ; : 10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, August 4, 1965 Lions' Field General Is Busy Executive By JACK BRAUCKMANN VANCOUVER (CP) -- Joe pe, ey more sidelines than a football field. The reighing king of Canadian quarterbacks is a rising young executive in the off - the - field world of business--a world in which esters see him as much a peanut butter pusher as a star athlete. The: image in kids' minds is not accidental. It is the culmin- ation of a carefully planned, well-organized program to make football and peanut butter al- most synonomous in the young- sters' subconscious. The peanut butter public rela- tions pr-gram is handled by a company called Joe Kapp Ltd., a company that also promotes automobiles and has, in the past, pushed a hair dressing purport- ing to be the antithesis of "greasy kid stuff." Joe Kapp at 26 is still a fledgl- ing in the business world, an outstanding football player whose name is worth money to promotion - minded companies with a product to market.

(AP)-- Jim Clark of Scotland, winner of the Indianapolis 500 last spring, has clinched the world automobile race driving cham- pionship by winning the Grand Prix of Germany in record time. The 29-year-old farmer, who drives an English Lotus, car, Sunday won his sixth. Formula} 1 Grand Prix race in as many starts this year. The championship season consists of 10 events but a driver may count only his best six results in point scoring for the championship, Clark missed the Monaco Grand Prix this year in order to drive at In- dianapolis, but' he won every title race he entered. It was his second world title, the first coming in 1963. Clark set a course record when he completed the first lap in 8:36.1, and he bettered this several times during the 15-lap' race as he led from start to finish, Clark was timed in two hours, seven minutes, 52 seconds for an average of 99.79 miles an hour, guess but as one executive of the bread spread company put it: peanut butter brand and talks sportsmanship to the kids.

Football Tripleheader Draws Varied Comments By DENNIS ORCHARD VANCOUVER (CP)--One long night has delivered a new form- ula for Canada's pre - season professional football. It's the tripleheader, whose prototype here July 15 featured three 30-minute games among 1964's top three finishers in the Western Football Conference. British Columbia Lions de- feated Saskatchewan Roughrid- ers 17-14, then retired in full uni- form to join fans watching Cal- gary Stampeders whip the Roughies 24-7, As a finale, Lions came back and absorbed a 7-5 pasting from Calgary. "Take a look around and see what some companies are doing to promote their products--and look at some of those products-- before you criticize." How about the hair tonic "If I feel a product is worth- while talking about then I'll talk about it."

Clair, who thought before training camp opened that he would have only two or three new. faces this year, will take his team to Toronto for Friday night's EFC opener with eight rookies in the lineup, "That has to be our biggest worry," said Clair in an inter- view Monday. "We think very highly of these new boys but it takes a while to learn. and they may catise us some. problems in crucial situations."

"I said before that if we can keep free of injuries we have a good chance to finish first," he said, "I still feel that way." "But Hamilton is still No. 1," said Clair. "They're the cham- pions and they still have a lot of very good kids." LOOM AS THREAT The Riders again loom as a powerful offensive threat with even more versatility than last season. The question mark re- mains on defence, particularly along the line. Three established Canadian stars--quarterback Russ Jack- son, halfback Ron Stewart and flanker Whit Tucker--remain in the offensive backfield. To them Clair has added two new im- ports, both of whom represent a bit of a gamble. The most exciting new Rider so far is Bo Scott, a ind Ohio State grad who Clair says is "a bit green but with really great potential.' The 21-year- old back was the talk of Ot- tawa's four pre-season games-- two wins and two losses--with his breakaway speed and run- ning power, The other new face is Jim Dillard, a 215-pound halfback- fullback acquired from Calgary in a trade for all-star tackle Roger Kramer.
