# Battle of Wounded

## Skins, Colts Clash

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The walking-wounded collide tonight when the Washington Redskins host the Baltimore Colts in a National Football League exhibition game.

Redskins coach George Allen will start substitutes Frank Bosch and Dave Cahill at defensive tackle because he has only five healthy defensive linemen. In addition to Bosch and Cahill, the only active Redskins defensive linemen are ends Verlon Biggs and Ron McDole, plus Jimmie Jones, who is being worked at tackle and end.

Listed as injured and questionable for the game are Manny Sistrunk, Diron Talbert and Bill Brundige, all defensive tackles. John Hoffman, a defensive end, also has been hobbled with an ankle injury.

Colts coach Don McCafferty isn't much better off up front. Tackle Fred Miller is coming off an injury and will play, but substitute Jim Bailey and George Wright, two other tackles, have sprained knees.

The Colts also have only five defensive linemen ready--Mike Webster, Bubba Smith, Roy Hilton, Bill Newsome and rookie Rusty Ganas.

Washington has won its last two preseason games after dropping the first. The Redskins defeated St. Louis 20-13 in Allen's debut before the home-town fans in RFK Stadium. The Colts, winners of two of four exhibition games, lost 23-20 to the Detroit Lions last week before 31,745 at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Dr. Vogel -- as you can see, the Colts and Redskins are in bad shape, and the regular season hasn't even started yet. I wrote to Dr. Vogel -- as you can see, the Colts and Redskins are in bad shape, and the regular season hasn't even started yet. I wrote to George Allen, the Redskins coach, and pointed out that he himself had incurred fractured ribs...when his player ran into him...and whined him of coming apart. (Note: many pro football coaches go for years without being fractured by their players).

Below am listing the current, unbelievable list of pro football players on only seven of the 13 Pk'd teams! These men have been injured, operated on, and/or out of action since I warned them the first of the year. And remember...these are only half the Unlucky 13! Haven't been able to get data on the other 6 teams.

* John Unitas, Colts QB
* Joe Nameth, Jets QB
* Lette, Colts, R'nr
* Walton, Rams QB
* Butkus, Bears LB
* Scyres, Bears r'nr
* Lenceworth, Cowboys rec'r
* Washington, Cowboys back
* Andrie, Cowboys end
* Rowley, Cowboys LB
* Shell, Jets r'nr
* Keynard, Jets rec'r
* Woodenick, Eagles r'nr
* Olsen, Rams t'l
* Sciabeli, Rams g'd
* Cotton, Rams line
* Brown, Redskins r'nr
* Farrowty, Redskins r'nr
* Liske, Eagles QB
* Jackson, Eagles rec'r
* Welik, Eagles rec'r
* Nelson, Eagles rec'r
* Tom, Eagles end
* Jones, Eagles back
* Pinder, Eagles back
* Skaggs, Eagles back
* Reyes, Eagles back
* Smith, Eagles back
* Ledved, Eagles back
* Pettigrew, Eagles LB
* Staubach, Cowboys QB
* Tucker, Cowboys rec'r
* Thompson, Jets, suit
* Sauer, Jets, suit
* Moore, Bears r'nr
* Rossovich, Eagles r'nr
* Lira, Dolphins QB
* Scott, Dolphins safety
* Sistrunk, Redskins tackle
* Talbert, Redskins tackle
* Brundige, Redskins tackle
* Hoffman, Redskins end
* Miller, Redskins tackle
* Bailey, Redskins tackle
* Wright, Redskins tackle

...and I will be at work today, tomorrow and Monday creating more casualties and walking wounded among the Unlucky Thirteen teams.

Considering that these injured men listed are only representative of seven of the Unlucky Thirteen teams...imagine what the list would be like if I had data from the other six Unlucky Thirteen teams to give you!

Of course, my prime object is to use my power to knock out the key players...when I ram them together and throw them through the air with projected psi-power. However, to dismantle an Unlucky Thirteen team ...

I'll settle for whatever injuries I can get.

Corner Hit Hardest
Cowboy Depth Suffers

By BOB ST. JOHN

The Dallas Cowboys are mostly
suffering on the outside about the rash
of injuries, which has left the corner
back and wide receiver positions in dire
need.

With both Mel Renfro and Mark
Washington out at cornerback it leaves
only rookie Isaac Thomas to play the
right corner, though there are other
possibilities.

Both Cornell Green, the strong safe-
ty who used to play cornerback, and
Herb Adderley have never played on
the right side.

"Not me, man," said Herb. "They
put me over there at right corner and
I'd get cut the next day."

"I'm afraid if we told Cornell he was
going to play right corner, we'd have to
take him over there on a stretcher," said
secondary coach Bobby Franklin.

FRANKLIN IS still young and used
to be a secondary type, so Tom Landry
was asked, jokingly, how about Bobby
Franklin.

"No way," said Landry. "That mus-
tache would get in his way."

More seriously, Thomas will be giv-
en the shot at right corner against Bal-
timore Friday night and perhaps again
in the final preseason game against
Kansas City. If he can't handle it, then
Green might be asked to try or maybe
even Cliff Harris. Harris played right
corner in training camp his rookie year
before moving to free safety. Charlie
Waters or Richmond Flowers could pos-
sibly play right corner, too. Harris,
Waters and Flowers will work at cor-
ner this week.

One thing, outside of Thomas, there
will be no volunteers.

"We'll probably have Herb and
Isaac at the corners the next two
games," said Landry. "It all depends
on how Isaac does. I think he'll do all
right. Otherwise, we're hoping we can
get either Washington or Renfro back."

Renfro, with a badly sprained ankle
and a bruised knee, COULD miss as
much as the first three league games.
Last time Mel hurt his ankle like this he
missed six weeks. Washington is sched-
uled to rest his knee about three more
weeks, but if it doesn't respond, there's
no telling how long it might be.

"I thought Thomas looked pretty
good out there," said Landry, "until
that last play (the 60-yard touchdown
pass). I don't like to think about that
one."

"I AM NOW extremely concerned
about the thinness of our wide receiv-
ers," added Landry.

Lance Alworth might not be back be-
fore the second league game and Mar-
gene Adkins, who has a broken foot,
could be out as long as Renfro. Reggie
Rucker, a muscle tear in his thigh, is
indefinitely questionable. Only Bobby
Hayes and Gloster Richardson remain
-- and there are two more preseason
games. As mentioned here before, Dan-
ny Keeves is apt to get his foot wet at
wide receiver.

"Richardson has promise but he
hasn't reached the level where he'll
have to be," said Landry. "We were
counting on Alworth heavily ... then
we were hopeful Adkins could step in
and do the job."

Besides injuries, Cowboy receivers
continue to drop the ball at a record-
setting pace. Roger Staubach had two
dropped against Houston and Craig
Morton had one bounce off a receiver
and to be intercepted. This is about the
same pace they've been going in other
preseason games.

"Our receivers were worse against
Houston than they'd been before," said
Landry.

TIGHT END Mike Ditka still has a
cast on his broken hand but the Cow-
boys moved Thursday to strengthen the
tight end position by picking up Pat
Richter from Washington on waivers.
Richter, 6-5, 230, was a prominent Red-
skin player until 1969. In 1968 he caught
12 passes.

"We didn't think John Nelsen (the
rookie) was ready so we got Richter in
case anything happened to Billy
Truax," explained Landry.

Middle linebacker Lee Roy Jordan,
who has missed the last two games due
to a small broken bone in his leg,
should play some against Baltimore,
though Tom Sincic probably will be in
most of the action again.

When the Baltimore Colts host the
Dallas Cowboys, their old Super Bowl
opponents, Friday night they'll have to
have a program.

Sept. 2, 1971...Dear Dr. Fogel:

The Russians have a woman who
can move objects on top of a table
with her mind. But I am way
ahead of the Russians with my own
psi-research, and powers...I can
affect and control entire pro
football teams with my mind.
As you see in this newsclip...
the Dallas Cowboys are riddled
with a "rash of injuries"...i.e.,
an unusual amount of injuries.
Always keep in mind I notified
the 18 pro teams ahead of the
season...that this would occur.
I have also sent you newsclips
describing the "walking wounded"
of the New York Jets and Baltimore
Colts at this time...two more
teams having an unusual amount of
injuries. Of course, the Colts,
Cowboys, Jets and Chiefs are the
4 foremost teams I'm aiming my
brain at to bring about this
result. So three of them are
reeling under unusually severe
injuries. I've not been able to
get hold of any data on the Chiefs.

Am not neglecting the other teams,
at all. Believe me, they are
feeling the result of my psi-
power attack!

The beautiful thing about this
unique and unprecedented way I
am documenting this approach to
my own psychokinetic demonstrations
is...it is clean-cut. Easily
demonstrable. Results easily
evaluated and observed. And far
more dynamic and accurate, I
think, than the dice tests at Duke.
Am using same modus operandi, and
powers, as Russian woman, and Duke
experimenters...but on a much
larger scale than them - and of
course involving much more Psi
power in my psi-force attacks.

Mostly Wishful Thinking

It will all soon unfold before you.
The Neptunes won't lose a game.
The San Francisco 49ers will roll to a Super Bowl championship.
And old Notre Dame will win over all.
Now that this business is taken care of, here are a few things we would like to see happen before another football season comes into view:
A start made on a 55,000-seat football stadium next to Metropolitan Park.
A round-robin schedule in the Southern Conference which would conceal the football shortcomings in that league.

A Full Season for Joe Namath

The word from Ted Owens the PK man that Joe Namath can play in all 14 Jet games in 1972.
An Oyster Bowl contract using Virginia schools as host on an alternating basis and providing an inter-sectional opponent each year.
A national scholarship limit.
Half a dozen more Ed Grubers for the Atlantic Coast Football League.
Saturday football special flights to Blacksburg and Charlottesville.
An end to the rule stopping play after each first down, a slowdown that turns four quarters of football into five.
Elimination of the Sunday blue law in Baltimore that prevents Colt games from starting before 2 p.m.

Big Seasons for Virginia Teams

Prospect for a year with three or four major college teams in Virginia to have big seasons.
A super quarterback for embattled Bob Thalman at VMI.
A pro boost for Tidewater High School coaches who now must start work early in August.
A Neptune exhibition with the Redskin or Colt rookies.
Relaxation of the NCAA ban on college tryouts for high school athletes.
A push at Norfolk State to raise the football image to the basketball level.

A Break Wanted for Virginia Tech

A shot at the Top Ten for Virginia Tech.
A Regional TV date for Virginia.
The big payday at Richmond Frank Jones needs to put his program in high gear.
Elimination of college freshman football schedules.
A Redskin pass rush.
A College All-Star team that can beat the NFL champion.
A winning record for the Steelers.

Model for ACC to Follow

An adoption of the National NCAA 1.6 table by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
A legitimate shot at a pro quarterback job for Buster O'Brien.
A televised high school game of the week on Saturday morning.
Something concrete on that new stadium.

Dear George:

First, I went to thank you...for giving 'ol PK Man a mention in your column hereto.

Second, I went to give you an answer to your tongue-in-cheek statement...albeit an accurate statement.

It is, by now, rather general knowledge that I did indeed warn the Jets in writing...both seasons, last season and this season...before Namath (and other key players) got "wiped out" by my aiming my brain at them, using psi-power, a revolutionary breakthrough in pro sports which I am pioneering.

Also by this time, as you perhaps know...the 13 teams I am currently playing (I listed them at my Norfolk Sports Club address) are suffering wholesale carnage to a degree never before observed in pro football. I only have data on 7 of the 13 teams...but dozens of key players are among the walking wounded...Namath of the Jets; Liske of the Eagles; Concanon of the Eagles; Unitas of the Colts; Walton of the Rams; Staubach of the Cowboys; Woodell of the Jets -- in these are just the quarterbacks currently bent by the PK. If I were to go on and list the other key players currently out, having been bent...the list would be too long to get on this page. And as I have said...I only have data on about half the Unlucky Thirteen teams! Also bear in mind that the regular season hasn't even started yet! To give you an idea of how potent my system is. I used the Chiefs and Jets as PK hammers against each other the other night...and knocked out eight key players! In one game alone!

To get back to Namath, George. I will allow Joe Namath to continue playing football...if I am not aiming my brain at. Not only that, but I will place a protective PK shield around him to keep him from further injury. However, if he tries to go back and play for the Jets...well...I think he'd better give up football for good, then do that. I simply won't allow it, George.

I read your column every day. It is a dandy.

es Fan's Fatal Plunge Tied
To Plate Left Off Stadium Pit
8/26/71
BY MARK MELSON
Of The Inquirer Staff
The Phillies fan who plunged to his death at Veterans Stadium, fell 25 feet into an open cement-bottomed pit used to store the huge left-field scoreboard, stadium officials said Wednesday.
Stadium manager Lloyd Vye said Glenn Shober, 37, of Reading, fell into the pit Tuesday night through a hole in a restricted walkway.
"Shober and his three companions were looking for a restroom after Tuesday night's Phillies game when one of the men untied a rope barrier leading to a walkway over the pit," Vye said.
STEPS INTO HOLE
As they walked along the platform over the pit and under the huge lift-field scoreboard, the lead man, John Gehring, 25, of Reading, stepped into a hole next to the pole-like piston which raises and lowers the scoreboard. A metal plate that covers the pit was not in place, leaving an open hole.
"Somehow, Gehring caught himself," Vye said. "But Shober, who was next in line, plunged into the pit."
Shober's companions, including his brother, Brian, 33, Gehring, and Jay Harford, 40, all of Reading, called for help. Stadium police arrived and Shober was rushed to Methodist Hospital, where he died of multiple injuries.
ALMOST EMPTY
"The stadium was almost empty at the time of the accident," Vye said. "The security guards who keep fans out of the scoreboard area usually leave when the game ends and the crowd has dispersed."
Shober fell at about 10:30 P. M., almost 20 minutes after the game ended.
The left field baseball scoreboard at the stadium is lowered into a pit for football games so that the seats behind it can be used by spectators. When the scoreboard is raised and in use, as it is during Phillies games, the pit is covered with metal plates, which form a four-foot wide walkway.
Dotted Line Traces Fan's Fall
Victim dropped 25 feet from walkway to scoreboard pit
TO ALL PRO FOOTBALL
TEAMS
Earlier this year I sent you a letter...advising you not to allow your team to play in the new Phila. Vet. Stadium...simply because I have P.K.'d the stadium...and any team that plays there will be automatically attacked by the PK (psi-power), or "snake-bit" as you prefer to call it...in a huge way.
Here are a couple of samples, or results, of people not paying attention to what I say. I.e., if sports writers had warned the people and the teams...then the Vet. Stadium couldn't hurt anybody. But...my warning about Vet. Stadium was ignored. After having been P.K.'d by myself, it is a death-trap; it is jinxed, haunted, to a terrible, shocking degree.
All I can do...is warn people in advance, and pro teams in advance. If they choose not to listen, then let them suffer their bent hamstrings and lamed Alworths and Unitas and so forth.
I deeply regret that the Vet. Stadium killed a man. I had meant for it only to harass the pro teams...but evidently the PK assigned to Vet. Stadium has become too intelligent and sophisticated. It was meant only to "snake-bite" pro teams...but evidently it has decided also to go after spectators.
That's why I wish the public could be warned...then at least they'd have a choice of going into the Stadium or not. It might have saved this man's life.

# If You Want a Wet Back End, Buy Box Seat at Vets Stadium

Phillies Usherette Places Plastic Bag on Stadium Seat
Deluxe box seats in new stadium have sea m that squirts water when sat on after rain
Inquirer Photo by Joseph J. Conley

BY DONALD MCDONOUGH
Of The Inquirer Staff

Purchasers of deluxe box seats at Philadelphia's new Veterans Stadium have been paying $6.25 a ticket to get their rear ends wet.

The 1600 portable chairs in the boxes facing the first and third baselines have a seam in them which the city says retains water after rain.

When a fan sits down there's a squishy sound as the pressure forces water out of the seam, and onto the seat.

The city announced Saturday it is withholding 2 per cent of the final payment of a $1.4 million contract for the stadium seating until the wetness is eliminated permanently.

This doesn't help William Giles, Phillies vice president, who has been receiving a deluge of complaints about the damp seats.

So, this weekend Giles has armed the stadium usherettes in hot pants with a couple of thousand plastic bags of the type usually used for trash. In event of rain squalls, the bags will be passed out to cover the seats before the seams and customers get wet.

"We first ran into this problem last May," said Giles, . "The city architects were supposed to do something about it. But, as yet, nothing has been done and because these are our most expensive seats, we just got to take immediate action."

The seats cost the city about $30 each. They are foam padded vinyl with arms and, according to Giles, are extremely comfortable when dry.

Principals in the controversy over the wet seats are the city's Public Property Department, the American Desk Co., of Temple, Texas, and a subcontractor, Clarin Co., of Chicago.

At issue is whether everybody knew these were to be outdoor seats, exposed to the weather, not indoor seats. FOLLOWED SPECS

Clarin, which manufactured the seats, maintains it followed specifications exactly.

"The problem develops whenever it rains," said Paul Marzulio, director of Public Property's architecture and engineering division. "The seam in the seat allows the water to come in. We told American Desk and they felt they didn't know the seats were to be used exclusively outdoors.

"But this is a performance type of specification and the seats must perform under conditions for which they were intended and that is to be used outdoors. NOT SURE YET

"American Desk's position is that they are not yet sure that they are responsible.

"In the meantime the city will withhold the 2 per cent of the final contract payment until the matter is settled between American Desk and its subcontractor."

This is not the first stadium seat problem for American Desk. The firm was embroiled in a controversy over the stadium's plastic seats last summer after an Inquirer investigation revealed that the seats were flammable.
