Thrown to the lions The Minnesota Vikings who still have a chance to make' a playoff spot in the National football league playoffs were literally thrown to the Lions. Saturday afternoon. Former Canadian coach Bud Grant now at the helm of the Minnesota team saw his club chewed up by -a-Detroit Lions team that came ready to play. The Lions who have had much less than a successful season to date humiliated the Vikings by a store of 45=111. The win for the Lions could not have come at a better time. They—were- playing before their first sellout crowd of the season, more than. 80.000 at the Silver Dome in Pontiac. . ,It looks as if Detroit coach Monty Clark is • moulding his young players into a strong outfit and in a year or • two should help turn around the present. situation of,Detroit losers as far as professional sports are concerned.

A costly business One of baseball's greatest players and probably one of the most humble said recently he is afraid the cost of free agents may be more than baseball can be • ar. These remarks were made by former Detroit Tiger star Al Kaline shortly after Pete Rose switched to the Philadelphia Phillies for a huge contract. Kaline commented further. "There's a lot of things in life other than money. I'm sure Cincinatti ,C a'4Lered Pete a very good salary. What's he going to do with all the mbney he is going to make. Taxes are go- ing to take most of it anyhow. Kaline. Who hit two home runs in one inning in 1955 to equal a 1936 record set by Joe Dimagio still is in baseball in a small way as a colour commentator on .the Detroit Tiger telecasts.
