CIV Revising Lineup
To Replace Pocken

Also available for quarter
backing will be John Wilt, a
big sophomore from Middle
town, Pa. But Wilt is the
swing man of the team, also
filing in as an end and as a
fullback, so Sherman doesn't
want him tied down to any
one job.
I'm going to use him where
he'll do the most good when l
need him." the coach said. Il
want him available, and the
fact that he's listed as No, 3
end and No. 3 quarterback and
No. 3 fullback doesn't mean
he isn't going to play, He'll be
used. plenty"
Although Power is a versatile
player - that's one reason
Sherman isn't worried about
his ability to shift from quarter
back to fullback-it will be
difficult to replace Packen. The
latter also was good in several
departments, including punt
ing and punt returns. De-
fensively he was Standout,
and in fact it was his ability
along that line in high school
that first attracted the atten-
ton of GW's coaching staff.

McLish Receives
Bio Ruise for SO

CLEVELAND, Sept. % (AP) j..
With five more games yet to
play in their 1858 season, the
Indians today signed their
winningeSt pitcher, Cal McLish,
to a 1859 contract.
The Tribe said McLish, who
has a 1877 record, will get a
substantial raise in his new
contract. The Indians didn't
say exactly how much the 81
year-old highlander will get.
In addition to whining more
games than any other Tribe
pitcher, McLish has been the
team workhorse, pitching 2l3
innings to 2O11s for Mudcat
Grant. He has the lowest
earned-run average, an even 3,

Stadium Dispute

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. %
(AP).-The grand jury last
night voted unanimously for
a full investigation of the $l3
million deal to build a base
ball stadium for the Giants.
The 10 jurors then deliber-
ated as to whether hearings
should be open or closed.
Mayor George Christopher,
who vigorously criticized Jury
Foreman Henry E. North for
challenging contracts already
approved. has demanded open
hearings.
When North first suggested
the probe eight days ago, he
released a copy Of Christopher's
grand jury testimony defending
the ball park contracts. North
accompanied this with a state
ment that he believed Con-
tractor Charles L. Harvey
would make IAN awful lot of
money"
The Giants, after moving
here from New York, played
in 23.000-seat Seals Stadium
with hopes that a 45,000-seat
stadium would be built for next

Another question unanswer-
ed is in whose name the Rus

apply for their Maryland IL
cense at Laurel. In Russia all
horses are owned by the state.
Perhaps they will merely run
as the Khrushchev entry.

they have fully investigated the
potential of the competition.
Who knows. They might have

One press box wit, knocking
the poor visibility of the Wild
ener course at Belmont Park,
once remarked: IF the Rus
slams ever invade us, they'll
come down the Widener chute. ="
The Russian invasion is on
but its a friendly one in a new
field for them. The action will
take place on the Laurel in
field grass course in this years
international classic, Novem-
Der IL.
It's a fascinating angle added
to Laurels annual endeavor to
field champion horses from all
points of the globe. In the
brief history of the Interna-
tional-this will be the seventh
running - the announcement
that two Russian horses will
compete this year is likely to
stir more interest than any
previous foreign entry.
Taking the bows for the coup
is Joe Cascarella, Laurel's ex-
ecutive vice president. who at
one time wore a Washington
Senators baseball uniform.
So
Cascarella explains that more
than a year ago he was struck
by the idea of getting a Rus
sian horse for Laurel'S race. 1t
was inspired by the stepped-up
Russian representation in other
sports and the student and cul-
tural exchange program.
He worked through the Rus
sian Embassy and was hardly
encouraged when a reply to his
lengthy letter was answered by
a curt paragraph that the mat
ter had been referred to the
Ministry of Agriculture in Rus
STA.
1t was not until last winter
that CaScarella had a glim-
mering of hope that a Russian
horse would run at Laurel.
Cascarella now is dealing
with a fellow named v. v.
Metskevich you're wrong, he
never played guard for Notre
Dance, Minister of Agriculture
He has informed Laurel that
five persons and two horses will
be sent to Laurel.

AS yet both horses and stable

sumably the encourage will be
flown from East Berlin. When
the names are released, it looks
like trouble for the Racing
Form folks trying to translate
the Russian past performances
into English for the United
States horse players.
But that won't make too
much difference. There was
quite a mystery horse at Laurel
from Venezuela back in 1856
when self invited FL Chama
