The National League’s most val
uable player, left-handed pitcher
Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles
Dodgers, probably will be paid
the highest salary in the club’s
history next season.
Koufax, who received about
$42,000 for this year, reportedly
will ask for $55,000 for 1964. If
he gets it, it would exceed by about
$10,000 the reported salary pitch
er Don Drysdale earned in 1963.
The Kansas City Athletics have
canceled their working agreement
with the Portland team of the Pa
cific Coast League. The A’s are
expected to line up an agreement
with another triple-A league team
shortly. Portland reportedly will
sign with another major league
team next month.
Baylor’s Larry Elkins has taken
over the lead among the nation’s
major colic ,' football players in
pass receiving. According to the
latest statistics compiled by the
NCAA Service Bureau, Elkins and
John Simmons of Tulsa each have
caught 34 passes in five games.
But Elkins is recognized as the
leader since he has more yardage
with 475 yards and seven touch
downs.

congenial group . . . and that, no,

Lions to Sponsor
Nov. Turkey Shoot
At their regular meeting Tues
day night the Bering Sea Lions
elected to hold a turkey shoot.
Offered as prizes to the top shoot
ers will be turkeys, hams, etc.
Sunday, Nov. 10, is to be the
first of a schedule of three shoots
to be held on weekends.
It is hoped by the club that the
final shoot will be a particularly
big event, with top shooters vieing
in an eliminating shoot-off. The
three meets are being set up by
Les Keller as chairman of this spe
cial committee.
Last winter the shoots were held
in 15-below-zero weather, which
was not conducive to good shoot
ing or spectator participation. The
Lions are forecasting milder wea
ther this year so that a good turn
out of both shooters and sptetators
is expected.
