LARGEST AFL CROWD SEES OILERS WIN
Notwithstanding
Keeps Houston Rolling

BOSTON, Nov. 26 (AP).-
There were some furrowed
foreheads around the Houston
Oiler camp a couple of weeks
ago when George Blanda, the
veteran quarterback. came up
with an ankle injury.
The Oilers were 6-3 for
the American Football League
season, Boston was closing fast
and Blanda was out. Then
along came Jackie Lee.
In his first performance a
week ago, the 22-year-old
quarterback threw touchdown
passes of 10. 90 and 70 yards
in the mud and goo against
Denver in a 20-10 victory.
And last night Lee riddled
the Boston Patriots defense
with his passes and mixed his
plays beautifully in a 24-10 de-
cision that all but wrapped up
the Eastern Division title for
the Oilers at Boston.
Assured of Tie
Houston now is 8-3 and has
a three-game lead with only
three games remaining. They
can't do worse than tie for the
title. Boston and New York,
tied for second at SIS, have
only a mathematical chance of
catching up.
Things weren't going too
we'll at first" Lee said after
the game. They were rushing
we'll, and their defense was set
for me very well. But then we
began to get things sorted out
and we worked much better. I"
He sorted things out we'll
enough to complete 81 of 38
passes for 331 yards for one
touchdown. And he set up two
others with passes and directed
a 74-yard drive that ended in
a field goal.
Blanda Boots Field Goal
But even with that perform
ance, Boston stayed close for
three periods, trailing only. IA
10, going into the final period.
But Blanda hobbled in to kick
a 16-yard field goal and a few
minutes later Lee hit Bill Gro
man with a 40-yard pass that
carried to the 4. Two plays
later Doug Cline damned across
and that was it.
Houston Coach Lou RymkuS
praised his two ends, Groman
and Charlie Hennigan. Gro

Carroll Given
Bid 10 Play in
Miami Game
BY DICK STAY

Carroll High Schools I'M
beaten, united football team
has been invited to play Miami
Senior High in Orange Bow
Stadium the night of December
9, a Friday, in the same post
season game in which St. Johns
participated six years ago.
Carroll, which nipped Eastern
7-6, Thanksgiving Day fol
Washington's city champion
ship, was chosen as the visiting
school in a meeting last night
by Miami's Fraternal Order OF
Police, a civic organization OF
working policemen which took
over sponsorship of the game
from the Miami Kiwanis Club
in 1858.
Acceptance Likely
Coach Moss Collins said to-
day that consideration of the
invitation probably will have to
wait until tomorrow afternoon
because the Rev. Phillip Barrett,
Carroll principal, is out of town.
However, Collins, who has been
hoping for the chance to go to
the Orange Bowl. is almost GER
tain Father Barrett will allow
the trip.
II don't see anything to hold
us back" Collins said. I'VE
don't have school on the eighth
or ninth of December, and we'd
love to CO."
Carroll and Nashua IN. H.
High School we're the top two
teams under consideration by
the Miami policemen for their
charity game, but on Thanks
giving Day Nashua lost to
Gardner (Mass.) High. 21-19,
to give Carroll first crack. If
Carroll declines the invitation,
Brockton. Mass, is the probable
next choice.
Miami Won Seven
Miami Senior, which de-
feated st. Johns, 1916, in the
1854 game, has participated in
this event practically every year
in the some 20 years it has
been played.
This season, Miami Senior
won seven games and tied two,
was declared co-champion Of
the city and ranked No. / in
the entire State of Florida by
the Miami Daily News.
Carroll won all Of It's 10
games and is Washington's first
city champion with a perfect
record since st. Johns won
nine games in 1851.

The Kentucky Derby shaped

following the withdrawal of

choices for the May 7 running
of the $125.000-added turf

and Bally Ache, now the Sec
ond choice. have not been in

up with the big race in the
major stakes. Tompion's ma
jor triumph was in the Santa
Anita Derby. Bally Ache won
the Flamingo at Hialeah Park.
However. the situation could
be changed after today's run

along with Eagle Admiral, Vic

The New York Yankees, with
a feverish spring record OF
6-14. need something, but a
psychologist isn't the answer.
Jim BroSnan, witty writer,
professional pitcher and anna
teur psychologist, proved that
yesterday. The Cincinnati
right-hander pitched the first
seven innings of a 80 victory
over the Yanks at st. Peters,
burg. He allowed only four hits.
BroSnan. a five-year major
league veteran, always has
been a good seven-inning
pitcher. Against the once
feared Yankees he could have
easily worked nine, but Mana
ger Fred Hutchinson of Gin
cinnati wanted to take an
other look at Bill Henry and
Raul Sanchez. They completed
the shutout. the Yanks' sixth
loss in their last seven exhi-
bitionS.
BroSnan. who has written
humorous magazine pieces, is
readying a book to be called
The Long Season" He's also
apparently readying his arm
for the long game.
Could Be Starter
BroSnan went the route last
Sunday in a six-hit. 4-3 victory
over the Milwaukee Braves.
But with the st. Louis Cardi-
mails and Reds last year he
started 10 times and finished
only once. His won-loSt record
was 9-6 and his earned run
average was $50 in l16 in
nings.
Much of that work was in
relief, but continued strong
outings could move BroSnan
alongside Cal McLiSh. Don
Newcombe and Bob Purkey as
a starting highlander. Joe
Nuxhall and Jim O'Toole are
the top Cincinnati lefthanders.
The Yankees started their
lefthanded ace. Whitley Ford,
who gave up one run in three
innings. then had to retire be-
cause Of a head cold.
Roy Mcmillan doubled in the
third inning and scored on
Brosnan'S infield single, max
ing Ford the losing pitcher.
The Reds added another in the
eighth. Vada Pinson, after
bouncing into a force play, stole
second. reached third when Bill
Skowron threw into centerfield
and continued home as Rookie
Ken Hunt fumbled.
Rookie Harold Stowe forced
home the final Cincinnati run
in the ninth, walking Pinch
hitter Lee Walls with the bases
loaded.
White SOx OutSlugged
In other Florida day games,
the Detroit Tigers defeated the
st. Louis Cardinals. 1915. at
Lakeland. and the Kansas City
AS stopped Pittsburgh, 4-3, at
Fort Myers.
In night games. Baltimore de-
feated Washington, 80. at

The Milwaukee Braves were

The hits continued to fly in
Arizona where the Boston Red
Sox beat the San Francisco
Giants, 8-6, in 10 innings at
Phoenix. and the Chicago Cubs
outdid the Cleveland Indians,
