Ted Williams To
Be Hall Of Famer
NEW YORK (UPI) —ThisI Many, many articles and
» apes up as one of the (stories were written about the
happiest days in Ted Williams's
life and at the same time, one
of the roughest.
He's faced with what can
only be described as an
awkward situation and there is
no possible way out.
Williams will be elected to
baseball s Hall of Fame today
There is little doubt of that
Nor is there any doubt the
election will please him tremen-
dously and he will express that
pleasure publicly.
Those who did the voting in
this election all are members of
man. yet not one of them ever
offered the complete picture of
him It was really impossible to
know all about him unless you
met him and even then it
wasn't always possible.
Silent Samaritan
From a strictly personal
viewpoint. I never had the
slightest bit of trouble with
Williams although I know many
who did. I like him and always
have because I have seen him
go out of his way for a lot of
people who never knew he did.

With snow falling today and
blast of winter weather in
prospect it's high time crappie
fishermen get ready for a trip
to the big lakes in Oklahoma
and try the enclosed, heated
fishing docks Excellent facili-
ties may be had on all of the
big impoundments
Grand Point is one of our
favorites in that area The Hon-
ey Creek arm of Grand lake
has a number of good docks
Whitehom is a favorite over on
Ft. Gibson and Strayhom land
mg is our favorite on Tenkiller
The enclosed docks afford
some pleasant Ashing as well
as much fun in that soon a
group of Ashermen become well
acquainted and someone keeps
the conversation going all the
time — the first to tell a story
must listen to many more —
they get better as time goes on
and especially so if a slow per-
iod (when the crappie are not
hitting) hits and one must wait
until the crappie decide to
strike.
Many anglers have put away
lures and tackle for the winter,
but right now is one of the
best times of the year to catch
crappie.
Because of the cooler weather
and surface temperatures, crap-
pie in the big lakes have gone
deeper to reach the warm wa-
ter in the 10 to 15 foot depths
They've come together in schools
too. so it should be easier now
to find them than in the spring

HOUSTON (UPI) -From
now on. “no comment" may be
the password in the American
Football League, made cautious
by Commissioner Joe Foss'
throwing out a player deal
because of comments on it.
Foss voided Wednesday the
trade of Ernie Ladd and Earl
Faison from San Diego to
Houston, saying Houston owner,
K.S. iBud) Adams tampered"
with the players by his
statements on the trade
Adams had said he would give
five players and some cash for
Ladd alone.
Then Ladd was quoted as
saying. “If a man is willing to
give five players, he must be
willing to give up a lot of
money ”
The Foss decision supported
charges by San Diego coach Sid
Gillman that Adams tampered
with the players But Foss had
something to say about Gill-
man. too. He said the Chargers'
coach should "confine all future
complaints involving league
matters to official communica-
tion to the commissioner ”
Foss said he will start fining
AFL people who publicly
criticize others in the league.
The results of Foss’ new
"talk is dear" policy showed
immediately.
Adams, usually at no loss for
words, said. “No comment"
about the Foss decision
