This is no open and shut Case. Star witnesses for the prosecution will include quarterback Gil Bettez fullback Jim big Ward and halfback Dick Wilkitis who will help present the Ramstein Sid of the Story under the direction of coach Herb Hartwig. The defense will counter with Aune of resistance headed by ends Jerome Smith and Stan Swift tackle Ray Andre and guard Jim Bobbitt. Halfback Bobby Klein s ground gaining testimony is bound to affect the Laon cause one Way or the other. Ranger coach Phil Philpot undoubtedly will plead justifiable homicide when his team s record of France District mayhem comes under review. Led by the monstrous line that averages 219 pounds per Man the Philpot Hartwig rangers annihilated six District opponents giving up Only two touch Downs in the process. A seventh rival forfeited. Laon also cleaned up on a pair of us clubs knocking off Wethers Field 42-8, in an exhibition an then rubbing out Suffolk 26-0, in the Safe semifinals. Ramstein s Road to the finals i similarly dotted although the emphasis Here is on huge scores. The rams have scored at Leas three touchdowns against every opponent save one in zooming to the Germany District championship on seven wins. They have two exhibition victories plus a 56-18 semifinal Triumph Over the Mediterranean champs from wheelus. The closest score on the Ramlog is a 1-0 forfeit win Over sem Bach but in the nine games won on the Field the rams ran up 400 Points an average of 44.4 per after it comes to saturday s noon. When showdown meeting the evidence for each Side is formidable. For Ramstein the ram line is even More monstrous than Laon a averaging 228. Ends Jim Kimble and Jim Chav Lasare virtually in turntable and both Are excellent targets for Bettez passes. Tackles Tom Driscoll and Ted Vlahas Are big and rough weigh ing in at 235 and 260, Jim Little Ward and guards Eddie Dinsmore and Jim Tarleton round out an up front Crew that has become accustomed to steam rolling the opposition. Ramstein was a Good team when the season started. But in the Early games the rams had to de Pend too much on Bettez passes. In their third Outing the ram received a healthy scare from Gieb Olstadt before the Taco neers succumbed 20-14. Bettez accounted for All three touchdowns with second Quarter passes but the ground attack netted Only 47 Yards. A week later Hartwig shifted end Jim big Ward to fullback and a Good team became a great one. Ward s slashing runs and adroit ass receiving earned him 13 touchdowns in the next four District clashes with the rams win Ning easily each time and never scoring fewer than 40 Points. With the defense forced to watchword s every move Bettez pitch ing and speedy Wilkins outside running have become much More dangerous. For Laon it is primarily a tale Nurnberg Bamberg resume hostilities for Eastern conference title saturday by Dick Gitlin staff writer Nurnberg Germany is the second and most vital instalment of the Nurnberg Bamber Story will be written into the books Here saturday when the re leg dragoons and riders clash at sol Diers Field in a renewal of their Battle of last weekend.

Both clubs have been hard hit at the quarterback spot. Frederick whose Aerial wizardry had accounted for 802 Yards and 14 touch Downs in Nurnberg s first seven league games has a contusion on his lower left rib Cage and is not expected to see action. His understudy Tex Cavitt had seven stitches taken to close a Cut inside his Mouth but will be read to play As will third Stringer Larry Denning. Bamberg will have to rely upon head coach Ken Fry to Man therb Slot since Gerry Nassano thumb is still encased in a cast. It was Fry s two Long Aerial strikes covering 94 and 49 Yards that enabled the riders to close Las week s deficit to its eventual deciding margin. Fullback Charles Bratcher who went out with a first Quarter con Cussion last saturday has been pronounced fit for service with the riders and will share chores with Harvey Seligman. To pass target drawing the starting halfback assignments for Bamberg will be hard running Ulysses Morton and either Joe Cygler or Wilson Bick Ley. Cygler an sex West Pointer was on the receiving end of Fry s94-Yard pass play while Morton flagged Down the 49-yarder fro the sex Texas am grinder. Nurnberg s answer to Morton Bamberg s top ground gainer and scorer is All purpose Back Chuc Poindexter who does everything Well.

Nurnberg s line standouts recenter Jonathan Williams tackle Luke Austin and end Fred will counter with a for Ward Wall anchored by guards Gerald Chikalla and Alfred if saturday s renewal shapes up anything like last week end s test the line play will be vital when it comes to the matter of penetrations. Should both teams tie on the scoreboard and in both columns under penetrations first Downland then total yardage will be the determining criteria. For Only one team will have an future when the final gun sounds late saturday afternoon. 170 pounds is v runner who has of impregnable of the three ads granted by the rangers came in on sided romps by Devreux and Wethers Field both 42-8 losers.

Klein Only breakaway counted 14 touchdowns thus far including three on Long gainers in the Suffolk game. He tallied on runs of 66 and 35 Yards and cur ried a Flat pass 57 Yards for theother. The rangers Haven t gone tothe Airl Ancs too often this season but when they have quarterback John zins hns had his share of Success. The summing up on the basis of rather involved comparative scores revolving around Giebel Stindt s 26-6 win Over Toul and Alconbury s 14-12 Triumph Over sur Folk Ramstein would be favo Redby two touchdowns. But comparative scores mean Little in a game like this which will probably feature a gruelling line Duel. The rangers must Stop Bettez Ward and Wilkins while the rams can concentrate on Klein if past performances indicate any thing. The verdict should come i around 3 30 saturday afternoon.
