CHICAGO, Aug. Manager
AL Lopez Of the White Sox isn't
fretting about starting 39-year-
old Early Wynn every fourth

Lopez said, land he doesn't

him getting tired. AS a matter

"but wasn't much of a pitcher

I don't believe we can give any
runs away because we don't

Except for some daily phone

FIRST football recruiting pro-
gram under Tom Nugent Is
completed. II all the boys
signed to grants -in-aid show
up on September 5. the day for
freshmen to report. the Terps'
new coach feels he wouldn't
trade them for any material In
the country,
"The fact that some Of the
big schools appear sore ct US
makes NE feel we've been sue
cessful." Nugent said yesterday
as he returned from his last
recruiting trip of the summer.
Starting tomorrow. the concen-
tration win be on the opening
game with West Virginia on
September 10 at College Park.
II introduced myself to Bill
Daddio of Notre Dame at an
all-star game the other night,
and he said In q rather uri-
friendly manner. I know who
you are. What are you guys
doing down there?'
II told him we're working
hard, Just like he's doing at

have boys that Pitt. Penn state,

thought they had locked up.
It's q sign that you're uoing a.

Enthused About Ends
Nugent Is particularly en-
Unused about his freshman end
crop.
We've got them coming from
Maine ID Florida and as far

smallest is Russell Wing Of
Harrisburg. who Is 6-foot-2 and
1876.
A former coaching pal tipped
him on to Dick Corbin, a
6-foot-4 prep school star in
Maine, and from Florida there's
John Boinis of st. Petersburg.

to be q starting guard for the
Terps. Pete went to school in
Washington. but John lived in
Florida with his parents.
The Ohioan is Walter Rock,

Nugent said Notre Dame and
Purdue were using all the re-
cruiting tricks on Tom Rae Of

be told he was going to Mary
