-v Football Finale The Ntw Year and January wind up the football sea­ son and there's no doubt about the (Mine's popularity, both in college and pro stadiums. Yet 197.Vs season was one in which injuries caught the attention of more and more observers of the game. The fact that Canadian football isplayed under rales which prohibit the most daftgerous physical violence in the American gamo v.,is stressed by some critics. At one time dur k the season a U.S. pro team had twenty-two members of its squad in a hospital! Some college teams this year lost ten to fifteen squad mem­ bers--all on the injured list, some hurt seriously. And, as always, there were a few deaths attributed to the train­ ing grind and physical contact. That's too much injury for a school spurt; even if the pros allow play under present-day rales to continue unchanged, the NCAA should at last move to lessen the excessive physical violence in school football.

(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) BASEBALL * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. Ci,*~ Paul Richards, who once fired up the White Sox and made them contenders, will be trying to do it again in 1976. He replaces a like­ able manager in Chuck Tan­ ner. So he's on the' spot. Tanner's team seemed to lose their ascendancy when Dick Allen was added to the club and got special treatment. Tanner would never admit any problem though the Sox finally gave up on the talented but mix- ed-up Allen after he left the team early one year. The Sox were never again contenders. Richards stresses\speecL tight defense axjd goorf pitching. In his late sixties s o m e s a y h e ' s t o o o l d b u t , that didn't handicap Casey Stengel, nor some other great managers like Con­ nie Mack. • Bill Veeck is sure to add color and excitement to the Sox and Richards will have them hustling. One hates to lose Tanner from the managerial scene but the new look is a cinch to draw more fans in 1976. LADIES TUES..NITE 7 P.M.

I By Phil Cooper " *1975, Lincoln Press ir.« I 1 £• ! * i 'i f you play golf I would like to send you something that comes in a plain brown wrapper. No -- not dirty pictures or anything like that! But it is something that you won't want your friends and golfing partners to know you have. Not for a while, anyway. Here's why: I'm going to send you five minutes worth of read­ ing material that will show you a guaranteed way to take 5 to 15 strokes off your golf score -- and do it so fast that your friends are going to think you've taken private lessons from Johnny Miller. I'd like you to try this method the very next time you play without telling anyone what you are doing. That's because I'm afraid that if you tell anyone about the secret method before you start on it. they might be able to talk you out of it. They'll try to tell you that there is just no way to impro ve your game so much without private, professional lessons. But there is. And. I'm sure that if you try it privately for just one round of golf;-- no one will ever be able to talk you out of it then. Before I go on, I'd like to tell you that 1 am not a golf pro or anything like that. I'm a businessman. A short time ago. 1 was a businessman who could never break 100 for eighteen holes. Not anymore. I still don't shoot in the seventies, but finally, after yeaVs of being little better than a duffer. I consistently shoot in the eighties. It's wonderful. For years 1 struggled to bring down my score. I tried everything -- practice, practice, practice -- read miracle golf books -- bought special golf gloves -- took lessons -- went to the driving range -- everything, then, by accident. I stumbled onte the real secret of cutting strokes off my game. The very first round 1 played after 1 discovered this secr?t. I broke 100 for the very first time The secret is simple -- but I'm not about to give it away for nothing. What I've been able to do is "smarten up" my game -- and by doing this I took almost 3b strokes off my score all told. (1 haven't been able to break 70 yet. but I will!) I know it sounds impossible -- but 1 ve actually learned to "smarten up" my game -- after every­ thing else I tried (and cost me a fortune) had failed miserably.' . . Before -- it seemed that I was hooking or slicing on every drive -- continually in the traps or rough -- and 3-puttingevery hole. After 1 made my amaz­ ingly simple discovery- my drives went down the middle of the fairway -- my irons put me on the green -- and my putting improved tremendously^ . It was so simple, in fact, that I haven t yet figured out why no one ever thought of it before But. since I've read every book on golf I could find and tried all the "gimmicks" -- I can assure you that I've never seen this secret printed anywhere before. When my friends saw how much my game had improved they asked me to give them my secret I typed out the complete details on my secret the step-by-step, easy-to-follow method that had cut all those strokes off my game For lack of a better name I called it "The Phil Cooper Golf Improve­ ment Plan.'* . I gave it to three friends who make up ray regular foursome It worked for them, too Their game improved as much as mine. v, you and I both know that there's a lot of money to be made for the person who comes up with a method for cutting strokes -- a method that really works. I am certain that 1 have done just that! "But. was our new. golfing success a fluke? Perhaps there was something special about our foursome that made this "miracle" possible. I don't believe that for a moment! However. I MUST PROVE IT NOW! For. once I prove that my golf secret works -- really works -- I w ill offer it to all golfers for S25 -- and it will be worth every penny of it. ( Hew many times have you said to yourself that yyou'd pay a fortune to take 15 strokes off your score?) So. to prove that mv secret works for all golfers --- I'll teach it to you -- and to a limited number of other golfers -- for little more than the price of having it printed up Remember. I'm willing to do this for my own selfish reasoji.Once YOU have succeeded -- once YOU have tiken off those strokes -- I'll probably make a mint when I offer the PROVEN plan through newspapers and magazines. But, you must make me a promise. You must report your stroke losses to me promptly -- first when you take 5 strokes off your score --"then when you break 100 -- when >ou break 90. This will be the proof I need I feel certain that it makes no difference w hether you are a man or a woman (it works for both) -- whether you are young or old -- whether you've taken lessons or not -- THIS METHOD W1UU WORK of it won't cost you a single penny' There is only one w ay for you to see if I 'm right -- to get yoyr guaranteed copy of "The Phil Cooper Golf Improvement Plan" -- and that's to order it now -- by mail.
