former National League home

move. asked for and received a
pay cut he said amounted to
about 40 per cent"
Kiner. who was bought from

The Yankees announced the
signing of Jerry Coleman, vet

For the Yankees, Coleman is
the seventh player to sign, an
unusual number so far in adj

ever, the Yankees didn't win a
pennant and world champion
ship last season, making it
easier for the front Office.
It was estimated that Thomp-

Gattuso Wins Back
Starring Berth From
Guest for Bowl Game
by tho Assoeiassd Press

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. 15.-Joe
Gattuso wound up his sea
son-long contest with Dick Guest
today by regaining Nays start
ing fullback position against
Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl.
Their personal struggle is a
capsule story Of what made Navy
tick In seven victories culminat-
ing in the bowl bid. Each pushed
the other so hard for the right
to play that when Coach Eddie
Erdelatz made a substitution the
new man was burning UP to
clinch the job for the next game.
Erdelatz termed 1t "desire"
and "want-to" by his players.
He has kept the team on fire by
letting the players know that no
starting post is secure from one
week TO the next. One analyst
theorized that "desire" boiled
down to competition on the Navy
squad itself.
Joe Starter at Outset.
Such certainly seemed to be
the case between Gattuso and
Guest. GattuSo, the holdover
fullback and a senior, started the
first two games.
Before he could get any ideas
Of security, Erdelatz started
Guest, a junior. in the third
game against Stanford. When
he substituted, Gattuso tore up
the place by rushing for 153
yards to IL for Guest.
The finale against Army was
another case In point. Guest
started but wound up with a
minus Z yards rushing. Gattuso
came in and stayed for most Of
the game to gain ~ yards. re-
cover a tumble and get of a last
minute unorthodox punt that
probably saved the game for
Navy.
After looking again at the per-
formances against Army on
movies. Erdelatz said Gattuso
finally had won back the starting
spot In the bowl.
First Time Since Pitt.
It will be the first game he's
started since October Is against
e Pitt. But, while ne has gotten
first call only three times to six
for Guest, Gattuso is the teams
leading rusher and scorer.
He has 7.3-yard rushing av-
erage and seven touchdowns de-
spite being on the bench for the
majority of the opening whistles.
Just to make their personal
contest more biting, both Guest
and Gattuso are from New Jer-
sey. Gattuso is from C.arksboro
