CIV to Perk Up Posing
For Game With WEN

Elias said he was afraid the
players wouldn't believe the
messengers he sent in during
the last scoring drive when
every play was a running play
through the left of The Cita-
del's defenses. There was some
arguing in there" Elias ad-
mitted. "Barbiere Bob Bar
biere. the 225-pound senior
center who anchored the line)
said, Are you sure?' to the sub
who came in with that same
play for the third time in O.
row, and he had to be con-
vinced.
But after that it was easy
They CThe Citadel knew we
wouldn't do it a fourth time,
and after that they knew we
wouldn't do it fifth time or
a sixth time. But we did and
we kept on running practically
the same play until we had a
touchdown"
Il think we ran that play IL
times" Elias said, with just
one little pass in there to
make them think we finally
had abandoned that side of
the line"

THE BASE EBALL
BEAT
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Clipped in with considerably
more hitting than had beer
anticipated.
Among the Orioles, Short
stop Ron Hansen carried them
for awhile, but collapsed when
the need was greatest. Third
BaSeman Brooks Robinson
sparkled defensively and in
jected punch. He seems to be
the big Bird, ranking ahead OF
Hansen, Jim Gentle and
Pitcher Chuck Estrada, who
has accumulated II victories
but whose earned run aver
age wasn't too impressive.
Pitchers generally may be
excused from contention this
year. Art Ditmar won Is
games for a pennant winner,
losing nine, which fails to
churn corpuScles. Jim Perry
won II for the Indians but,
like Estrada, the ERA debates
his bid.
There's an old friend who
probably will lead the league
in batting, but how do you
vote for Pete Runnels, who
has hit two home runs, batted
in a paltry 80 runs and f1elded
unspectacularly for a second
division club? Ted Williams
has accumulated % homers,
thumped across more than
twice as many runs and he
has been a part-time player.
y + y
If there's a candidate
among the Red Sox it must be
Vic Wertz, who will be one of
the few men in the league to
propel 100 runs across the
plate, but Vic's accomplish
ments haven't been sufficiently
electrifying.
The choice among the
Yankees, who should know who
helped most in making them
champions, is Mickey Mantle.
He's batting less than .280,
may not achieve 100 RIBS, but
his teammates will tell you
Mickey has contributed more
to their success this season
than in other years when the
statistics were more to Mantle's
liking.
One of the reasons for a
strong leaning toward Mantle
has been his defensive i'm
provement. With Hector Lopez
in left and. occasionally, Yogi
Berra in right, Mantle was
forced to range wide. He did,
effectively. Mickey played
double-headerS with a bum
knee. and if his batting average
isn't thrilling, they'll tell you
he was timely with his hits.
So, with less conviction than
customary but trusting the
word Of the Yankees, here's a
vote for Mantle, followed by
Robinson, Maris, Sievers, Han
sen, Minoso, Battey, Skowron,
Lemon and Berra.

Olympic HurdIer
Is Given Tryout
By Detroit Lions

DETROIT, Sept. 27 (AP). -
Can speed, durability and a
strong competitive sense make
a professional football player
out of a track star?
The Detroit Lions and Glenn
Davis, Olympic hurdles cham
pion, are trying to find out.
Davis, who won the 400
meter hurdles in the 1856 and
1860 OlympicS, joined the Lions
yesterday.
Davis stands 6 feet and
weighs only 172. He hasn't
played football since high
school in Marietta, Ohio, in
1854.
Il was a halfback then
just average track was the
big thing with me-" Davis said.
He didn't play football at
Ohio State, concentrating on
track.
Davis has no contract and is
working with the Lions on a
What can we lose" basis.

BY GEORGE HUBER
Star Stad Writer

Coach Bill Elias isn't giving
away his battle plans for George
Washington in Saturdays game
at William & Mary, but indica-
tions are that the Colonials
will present a beefed-up pass
ing attack.
There is hope that Frank
Pazzaglia, sophomore quarter
back injured in the opener
against Florida, will be able to
play some and if he's available
there will be more passing.
Last week when the Colonials
beat The Citadel they threw
only eight passes, as compared
to 26 the week before when
Pazzaglia was. playing.
The low number of passes
last Saturday was no accident.
Scouting reports indicated a
running game would go against
the Bulldogs and Elias called
that kind of a game by using
wild card" substitutions. Elias
admitted he called "every play"
and that officials told him after
the game he used 167 substi-
tutionS.

IN GOOSE CREEK PRO-AM
Two Amateurs Share
Honors With Cos Tiso

Cos Tiso of Baltimore's Bon
ME View Club won his second
straight pro event with a SO
in a Mid-Atlantic PGA pro-am
at Goose Greek yesterday.
However, two amateurs enjoyed
the day as much as Tiso.
Ernie Litty, captain of the
Navy basketball team in the
mid-40s, and an All-American
lacrosse player for the Middies,
was one Of the amateurs.
Litty. a civilian employe at
the Naval Academy, is a 10
handicap player. He shot a 78
and made his strokes count as
he teamed with Ray Helms of
Annapolis County Club to win
the best ball competition with
a l0-under-par 81. Both LittV
and Helms had three brides
each in a perfect partner round.
Helms shot rs.
The other amateur who had
a big day was Dave Colling-
wood, who will play for the
Court House Club champion
ship Sunday.
The 20-year-old Collingwood,
a semiflnalist in the District
Amateur last month, played a
practice round at Goose Greek
last week and was several under
par.
He was four over par at one
time yesterday. However, he
was intent on being low anna
teur and played four under
par golf from that point for a
70 to win low gross.
TiSo, who was low with a
SO at Sparrows Point last week,
continued his sub-par shoot
ing. He gives credit to Bill
Clarke, the Mid-Atlantic PGA
president from Hillendale, for
his success. Clarke gave Tiso
"a putting tip in the recent
Howard County Open.
Rick McHale of Forest Park
had seven brides in a round of
70. Bill Bassler was third pro
with II. Henry Gerard of
Norbeck, who tied Charley
Easton for fourth with a 73,

The hour is nearing when it
will become necessary to cast
a vote for the American
Leagues most valuable player
which poses a unique problem
this year. There is no clear
cut hero emerging from a mass
of mediocrity.
Normally two or three out
standing performers will DOM
mate the field and selection
may be made from strength.
This year a flock of contend
ers were in contention as Au-
gust arrived. But many wiltee
when their clubs needed them
desperately. This year there
were no dazzling players who
went the distance.
Roger Maris could pace the
league in home runs and runs
batted in, but he had accumu-
lated most of his hitting laurels
before August. When the
Yankees surged in the stretch,
where it counts, Maris was a
petty contributor, slowed by a
bruised body.
Roy Sievers was hot article
for the White Sox for awhile,
but when it narrowed to the
final weeks he was in one of
his slumps. Minnie MinoSo was
steady, but not inspirational.

There were several reasons
for the improvement of the
Senators. Billy Gardner pro-
vided more adequate protec-
ton at second base. Jim Lemon
slugged himself to prominence.
Unheralded pitchers came
through. 1t was Earl Battey,
however, who was the standout
Senator. He stopped the en-

The Reds have acquired

change for Catcher Frank
House.
House played much of the

A LONG TIME BETWEEN SHAVEs
Lurker Falls
Behind Grout
In Bot Race

LOS ANGELES. Sept. q
(AP) Norm Larker didn't fig.
ure he was good enough to win
the National League batting
title, and the figures are finally
beginning to bear out his
gloomy estimate.
Of course, he's not a proven
prophet yet. The line drive
hitting Los Angeles first base
man-No. l in the batting
standings much of this year
was betrayed by his lack of
speed last night,
Larker couldn't quite beat
out a slow roller when he came
up as a pinch hitter against
the Giants in the eighth inning.
and it cost him a point that
dropped him behind Pitts
burgh's Dick Groat. The Pirate
shortstop, idled by an injury, is
hitting 1926. just a point better
than Larker.
It took Larker 10 years to get
out of the minors, and he is not
accustomed to easy success.
"Oh Well" he said. IF I
don't win it, what's lost? I
don't think 1 had any business
up there anyway. I figure I
was lucky to get up as high as
I did"
Larker often has said he
would never rank himself with
a hitter like Willie Mays of
San Francisco, who now is only
a few points back of Larker.
But MayS-and just about
anybody in the league-has a
substantial advantage over
Larker, simply because of the
element of speed. Larker is one
of the slowest men in the league
and just about has to get the
ball out of the infield to get a
hit.
Norm always chokes up on
his bat, but there is no evi-
dence he's choking up else
where.
He hasn't looked good for
the last couple of weeks" Dod-
ger Manager Walt Aston said.
But 1 don't think he's pres
sing"
