THE LIOXS have bagged what many believe to be the best collection of rookies In the National Football League, and they should enhance the club's chances In the 1965 title race.

They will meet on Friday night, Aug. 20, in Tiger Stadium. It will be the home debut of new Lion head coach Harry Gilmer and a collection of Lion rockies rated as the club's best in many years. Childrens Hospital again will be the beneficiary. LIOX OWTTER William Clay Ford, the Colts' Carroll Ro-senbloom and Lee Hills, executive editor and publisher of the Free Press, completed arrangements for the game Saturday.

The Colts, long a favorite in Detroit, made their first appearance in the Free Press classic last year, and it proved the most attractive and rewarding in the 16 years of the Free Press series. A record crowd of 46,582 watched the teams battle to a 28-28 tie. Childrens Hospital was rewarded with $43,000 as an aid Ray Berry, and a supporting cast which could dominate the game for several years. Against them will be a Lion team seeking to regain the standing and prestige which slipped away through a gruesome chain of Injuries to key players the last two years. Gilmer and Shula are regarded as bright lights among the new breed of young, talented head coaches Infiltrating pro football.

Gilmer, a former Lion quarterback who had served an eight-year apprenticeship as an assistant coach before landing the Lion job, has a strong in its vast expansion and treatment program. Baltimore, coached by former Lion aide Don Shula, moved on from its tie with the Lions to win the National Football League's Western Division championship.

Of course, that's the way it looks on the surface.

MIL President Clarence Campbell suspended Douglas for Saturday night's game. Referee John Ashley called 19 penalties in the game.

BY AL COFFMAN and GEORGE PUSCAS Lloyd Brazil is gone, but the memory of his athletic deeds at the University of Detroit will live forever with Titan sports followers and in the sports annuals of the school. Death came Saturday to "Braz" at 59 only three days after his automobile went out of control and crashed into a tree while he was en route to his office in the U-D Memorial Building.

The accident, in a tragic twist, came exactly 12 years to the day after he suffered a near-fatal stroke in 1953. From that disabling attack he fought his way back to good health and resumed his duties as baseball coach and manager of athletic properties. TO THOSE WHO knew him in these roles the quiet, mild-mannered administrator hardly seemed like the young man who became a terror on the gridiron when he set foot on the McNichols campus in 1926. Upon graduation from high school in his native Flint, Brazil came to Detroit for his college education. Tigers Are Ready For Opening Day BY JOE FALLS Free Press Sports Writer LAKELAND The Tigers are ready to open the season.

Who says so? Bob Swift says so. Mickey Lolich is ready to pitch the opening game. Who says so? Well, not Mickey Lolich. Before he was finished three years later, he had gained an awesome 5,861 yards running and passing as a halfback on U-D football teams. With "Braz" charging his way to All-America honors, the Titans reached football heights they never were to achieve again, winning 23 games, losing only three and tying one.

Only once in the 26 games was Brazil, a powerful runner, held to fewer than 100 yards, and 19 times he carried the ball for more than 200 yards a game. GUS DORAIS, his coach at U-D, put Brazil in a class with Jim Thorpe and George Gipp the greatest of the great. "In my book," he said in 1936, "those three stand alone." Newspapers across the country hailed Brazil's feats. The New York World acclaimed him as "a Becond Gipp on the gridiron." Grantland Rice, distinguished dean of football writers, selected "Braz" on his All-America team. If Brazil had played for one of the big-name schools, he would have been fully recognized for his brilliant talents, but U-D was then a small school which attracted little national attention, and untied 1928 Titan team that he It was as a member of the undefeated brought major recognition to the school.

Not only was Brazil the first All-America football player for U-D, but he was the only man to captain both the football and basketball teams. He led the cagers in scoring one season. THE ONLY sure things for the second meeting are: 1 It's a sellout. 2 Bobby Hull will be blasting that puck. 3 It's going to be steamy hot In Olympia.

4 Bobby Hull will be blasting the puck. 5 Olympia ice is i k-ier than a 2-year-old with a chocolate ice cream cone. 6 Bobby Hull will be blasting the puck. 7 There still are plenty of good seats available 'in the theaters. 8 And Bobby Hull will be blasting that puck.

A REASONABLY well Hull, and he certainly appears that, can make a big difference in the series. When Bobby had two sound knees under him, he carried his linemates, Phil Esposito and Chico Maki with him, and lifted the Hawks into first place. Espositio, a big, husky center, built on Frank Mahovlieh lines, is an extremely capable scorer himself and so is Maki. But without Hull to provide that big threat in the last two months of the season when he was moving on gimpy knees, neither Esposito, Maki nor the Hawks were especially dangerous. starter, suffered a hand injury What Lolich said, in fact.

Later he became baseball coach, too, and in 19 years his teams won 222 games and lost 142.

Starting in 1958, his teams competed in the NCAA championships four straight seasons. At one time Brazil held the post of athletic director, a job now filled by Bob Caliban, who was one of the basketball stars developed by "Braz." With Brazil's death, U-D buries a part of its great sports past, for the school dropped football last year and it may never see the likes of those golden years of the 1920s.
