HERALD STATESMAN, YONKERS, N.Y., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1969

\>
Most of the question marks surrounding
city football this season will be erased
tomqrrow afternoon when Gorton and
Roosevelt meet in a game that will probably decide who gets to wear the City
League crown. Neither has lost in the
league and both have the roughest part of
the schedule behind them. It should be a
fine football game.
_
Education held a public hearing on its $26
million operating budget for 1970 and, as
usual, there were complaints about not
enough money being allocated for fields.
This time, however, the Board did something very unusual. It revised its budget
and, as a direct result of the public hearing, added a request for $35,000 for renovation and rehabilitation of fields.
One question mark, however, that will
Dot be erased tomorrow and probably not
for a long time is the old chestnut about
the city's fields. How come the fourth
largest city in New York State, boasting
200,000 persons and seven high schools,
doesn't have one decent football field?
That was nice of the Board and certainly sounds encouraging but before anyone
starts a victory celebration it should be
noted that the. request was just that, a
request, and that $35,000 might as well "be
$35 million for all the good it's gbing~to do.
The budget is in the City Manager's
office at present and when it comes out, it
will no doubt be slimmer by a million and
a half or more. The Board will then have
to drop items and you can bet that one of
the first things to go will be the aforementioned $35,000 pipe dream.
Lincoln Field is the newest one in Yonkers and the day after it was completed
it started to decay. In addition to the
problems of Roosevelt's Field, the Lancers' gridiron has been gradually turning to
sand and dust, a fact easily visible to fans.
Lincoln High's ball control offense doesn't
always get its three yards but it seldom
fails to pick up a cloud of dust.
Small wonder when you realize who uses the field. Besides the Varsity, the JV
uses the field for practice. The gym classes play games on it. The band marches
•across It. Little League groups, use. it..
Sometimes there are two consecutive
games on it.
In short, it's where the action is.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT CITY fields
have been made, heard and ignored for
years. A couple of weeks ago the Board of
The Board does not have all that great
a choice. Some 89 per cent of the.budget is
earmarked for "personnel", i.e. teacher's
salaries, and therefore can't be cut. That
doesn't leave much to play with and after
the cuts there will be even less. So long
rehabilitation.
The answer, of course, is not to cut the
budget but city officials will give you a
thousand fiscal reasons why that's impossible. And so there is nothing to do except
continue the complaints and pray for divine intervention. And, meanwhile, you
might want to take in the Gorton-Roosevelt game Saturday, which will be a good
one despite the field.
SECOND THOUGHTS: When the Rhode
Island freshman football team meets the
Brown frosh this weekend Bronxville's
WIC South champs of a year ago will be
well represented. Bud Denniston and Bob
Linder, both All-County selections from
that squad, are starting at flanker and
tackle respectively for the rams . . . . . .

'Man Of The Year3
Winged Foot's Hayden:
CM - Summa Cum Laude
MAMARONECK—
"I'm embarrassed. What
makes one man more deserving than another? Surely, I've
done no more than many other
in this business."
That's how Eugene Joseph
"Gene" Hayden of Mamaroneck and Winged Foot Golf
Club appraised his selection as
the Westchester-Fairfield Caddie Master Of The Year."
"I'm honored, nafnra'lv. I'd
be a fool not to be, but it's an
hon^r deserved by many others. I accent the r °olade on
behalf of every caddie master
in the Westcnesier Fairfield
county district," bellowed the
popular maestro of the WFGC
caddie yard.
Hayden, effectionately referred to as 'Gravel Voice' by
his legion of friencis, has bean
associated with Winged Foot
since the famed Mamaroneck
links plant opened in June of
1923. starting as- a caddie and
working his way up as assistant CM to first Mike Brady
and the late Jack Rooney before taking over as caddie
master in 1941.

Sign Mercein
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Washington
Redskins
have
signed running back Chuck Mercein, a free agent who had been
with Green Bay.
Mercein, a third round draft
choice in 1965 for New York
played two years for the Giants,
then was claimed on waivers by
the Packers after the eighth
game in 1967. When claimed by
Green Bay, he was working out
with the Redskins and the action set off a semi-feud between
the then Washington coach Otto
Graham and Vince Lombardi,
coach of Green Bay who now
has the Redskins.
Graham said the Packers had
obtained M~:rein illegally but
Lombardi denied the accusation. .
The Redskins also released
from the cab. squad back A.D.
Whitfield and wide receiver
Dave Dunaway.

Number One Wood with me
from the day he arrived until
the day he died."
With Hayden, a native of
New Rochelle, caddie-mastering is a religion and he looks
after his caddie flock with
priestly interest.
"These little rabbits are
great," he says of his young
bap-toters. We're not encouraging enough youngsters into
the caddie ranks anymore.
They get too much money at
home. They don't have to caddie for a few bucks as we did
in the old days. This is the
toughest part of the job, keeping these youngsters interested in caddying."
Hayden, who still refers to
the day he shot 40-35—75 at
Winged Foot as the "miracle
of my competitive life," sums
up his ' lifetime assignment
with one simple sentence:
"There's no greater satisfaction-in life than working
with fine young, ambitious
kids."

Status Report
THREE OF THE FTNT city grid squads
have their own football fields. One field
has been condemned, with good reason,
and that leaves five teams to share two
fields, both of which are also used for
practice and by outside groups.
Roosevelt Field, the scene of Saturday's
big game, has more grass on its track
than on its gridiron. It has many rocks
and small crevices. And it is the better
of the two.
