WxM LOSE OR DRAW
BY FRANCIS sTANN 3, -
A Hurroh for Houk
BY FRANCIS STANN

THE REASONING OF THE members of
the Baseball Writers Association who voted
Bob Scheffing as the American Leagues
manager of the year wasn't hard to follow.
Scheffing took command of an eccentric
ball club at Detroit, gambled on rockies and
gave the Yankees a genuine run for the
pennant until early September.
Ralph Houk of the Yankees, only the
third rookie manager to win World Series
(Bucky Harris and Eddie Dyer were the
others, was left far back. AS they filled
their ballots the baseball writer's asked
How can you pick Houk when the Yankees
had Ford, Mantle, Howard, Maris, Kubek
Richardson and the rest? Is Scheffing
spelled with or without 'c'?"
Nonetheless, Houk did virtually flaw
less job of managing. The affable ex-
catcher-even less distinguished in his
playing days than Scheffing at the same
position-was both good and lucky He in
herited MariS and Mantle when both Rog
and Mickey made their biggest runs at Babe
RuthS home-run crown. Most of all, per-
haps, Ralph was lucky when the Yankees,
after placing Luis Arroyo on the expansion
draft list, found no taker at $75,00O
IN THE SPRING at the calisthencS
center at st. Petersburg Fla, Houk con-
stantly was asked one question, How does
it feel to be following Casey Stengel?" 1t
became litany, an ordeal that Ralph faced
every day. To each and all he patiently re-
piled, Il could never be Casey Stengel I'm
Ralph Houk and have to manage my own
way"
Some of the New York ScribeS, openly
critical of the Yankees front office for fir
ing Stengel after flag winning season in
go, only tepidly accepted Houk. To them
he followed more familiar pattern of a
baseball manager. Stengel had been so
highly original.
There was no need to decode Houk'S ut
teranceS. To Stengel the rightfielder was
that fella." The catcher was that fella"
That fella" played all positions and for all
clubs. Houk called players by name. 1t was
too easy.
One day in Miami we recall asking do
you feel that you have to win?" Ralph re-
piled, That's why asked for only one
year contract" In other words, if the Yam
KEGS didn't win, the front office was free to
make change. Ralph had to win.
THE AMERICAN LEAGUE expansion
thinned his bench. He lost Dale Long and
Bobby Shantz and mourned them openly
Gil McDougald retired. Joe DeMaestri, who
batted in only two runs all during the go
season. was given hefty raise not to quit
That's how much the Yankees felt they
were hurting
Casey had to be great manager to COM
pile his record-10 pennants (and seven
World Series in IL years. But, as is the
case on nearly every club, Stengel had his
share of dissatisfied players. More, perhaps

John Blanchard, now an "untouchable,"
admittedly was one of these. In fact

confided during the recent series in which
he performed heroically. But when both of
them were hurt Casey was thinking of put
ting Jim Hogan on the active list to catch"
Hogan, 40 years old, was and is coach.
Houk was sympathetic. Ralph, himself,
wasted his playing days sitting on the
bench while Berra did New YorkS catching.
HOUK MANAGED DIFFERENTLY than
Casey Berra ceased to become the No. l
Yankee catcher but Blanchard wasn't Yogi's
successor; Howard was. In Difference to
Berras advancing years, Yogi was moved
to left. At the same time Blanchard saw
more action because he both spelled Howard
and played in the outfield, too
Howard played 129 games and was a
batting sensation. Blanchard broke into
"a games, batted .305, hit 81 homers. Seven
of his home runs, including four as pinch
hitter, won or tied games in the final three
innings
Whitley Ford was a 1873 pitcher in
Casey'S final season. Houk didn't think
Ford needed as much rest as Stengel gave
the southpaw and pitched him every fourth
day. Whitley won 25-first time ever over
20-and lost only four.
Clete Boyer, the acrcbatic third base
man, Tipped in the go World Series when
Stengel yanked him for a pinch hitter in

Ed Dcherty of the new Senators did his
best to upset Houk'S wagon. In the spring
Doherty went as high as he could to get
Boyer to play shortstop and Blanchard to

Doug|asUpsets
Italian Star in
1stCup Match
Reed Also Winning
When Darkness
Closes Out Match

ROME, Italy, Oct. 13 (APD.-
Plucky Jon Douglas of the
United States rallied today to
upset Italy's Fausto Gardini,
4-6, 46, IS, 1913, 60,
and Whitney Reed, another
Yank underdog, led Nicola
Pietrangeli, 60, 8-6, 3-4,
when their match was halted
by darkness Thus the United
States took a surprising ad-
vantage over the favored Ital-
ians in the interzone Davis Cup
tennis final.
Douglas, a Stocky, 25-year-
old Californian who was recent
ly discharged from the Marines,
made his tremendous comeback
after trailing, 2-5, in the third
set. He swept five straight
games from his 31-year-old
rival to win the third set and
get back in the running.
This encouraged the Santa
Monica player and obviously
bothered the Italian champion.
Douglas began to hit with more
accuracy and the rangy Italian
began to make more errors.
Douglas easily broke the tir-
ing Gardini'S service in the
18th game of the fourth set and
then held his own at love to
win the 18th game and square
the match, at two sets each.
After the 61-minute fourth
set, Gardini was through. In
the fifth set, he limped and
stomped and pointed to one leg
as though to tell his supporters
in the crowd of about 5000 that
he had a cramp or a strain.
Doulgas hit with precision and
accuracy and it was no contest
in the final set.
The doubles will be played to-
morrow and the final two
singles matches Sunday. The
winner will meet AuStralia's S
cup-holderS in the challenge
round in December in Australia
Italy defeated the Unit e d
States in the interZone final

the season with a non-league
loss at Florida State, 1877, then
beat The Citadel. dropped
1879 verdict at Furman and
walloped VMI, but they cam
not afford a second conference
defeat.
Richmond started with a
1926 victory over West Vir-
ginia and followed with losses
to Army. PAS; VMI and The
Citadel. The Spiders tomorrow
should be in their best physical
condition since the Army game,
with Quarterback Mel Rideout
and Right End John Hilton
fully recovered from ailments.
Hilton, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound
sophomore. missed the VMI
game with a knee injury but
played enough at The Citadel
to catch four passes for SO
yards. Rideout was troubled
by a charley horse last week.
CIV will be roughly in the
same condition as last Satur-
day. Dick Duenkel, reserve left
end, will be sidelined again with
the partially collapsed lung
suffered against Furman. John
Pilconis showed in the VMI
game he can be depended on in
that spot, backing up Andy
Gulda.
Starting Line Okay
Linebacker Joe Heilman has
torn ligaments in his upper
chest and will play with a
doughnut padding around his
neck, relieved by Center Len
Gunsior, who still is on the
mend from an ankle sprain.
GW's first line is intact, with,
from left end to right, Guida,
Cliff Botyos, Gary Scollick,
George Stone, Art Gubitosa,
Steve Bartnicki and Paul Mum
ley averaging out to about 200
pounds. Richmond will aver
age 208 up front.
Coach Jim Camp of CIV
says it will be the biggest team
his boys have faced yet. The
Spiders weigh about the same
as Furman did, but the start
ing linemen are taller. Even
the guards are 6-footers.
Sophomore Fred Mancuso, the
right guard. stands 6-feet-3
and Right Tackle Don Thomp-
son, Ga. Then there's the
6-5 Hilton and Left Tackle
Joe Teefey, also 6-3 and the
heaviest at 223 pounds.
Center is Richmond's strong
point up front. Don Christman,
215 pounds. might be the best
in the conference, and his sub
stitute, 200-pound Jack Yaffa,
was voted the best lineman in
the Army game.
Richmond Has Problems
Camp says his main concern
is stopping the passing of Ride
out and the running of Earl
Stoudt. the all-conference left
halfback. But Richmond also
is faced with defensive prob
lens.
Left Halfback Dick Drum
mond has gained 287 yards for
CIV in 81 carries, one less run
, than by Stoudt, who has netted

Fred Hutchinson of the Gin

League manager of the year

poll.
A lone ballot for Alvin Dark

inson from being unanimous

With important contribu-
tions from Pitcher joey Jay

plus the consistent hitting Of
Frank Robinson and Vada Pin

Reds improve on their 1860 per-
formance by Is games and five
positions in the standings.
The past season the Reds
won SO games and lost 81. In
1860. they had a 67-87 record,
finishing sixth. Virtually no one
gave them a chance to win
their first pennant in 81 years.
The Reds were pressed
throughout the year by the Los
Angeles Dodgers, considered by
most experts to have had more
talent. The pivotal series be-

$4,000 Expected
To See Tor Heels
Here Tomorrow
By MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

SS1A ONoAA UAAhSA
Maryland, with a newly won
national rating to protect, plus
a modest two-seaSon winning
streak of five games, entertains
the completely unpredictable
Tar Heels of North Carolina to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock
in Byrd Stadium.
The Terp rooters, who will
number about $4,000, or posi-
bly, more if the good weather
holds, are wondering what the
script will be after the cliff
hangers of the last two weeks.
The first was the triumph over
Clemson in the last eight sec
ondS. and the second the
22-2l upset victory over Syra-
cuSe. Maryland is a seven
point favorite to win in some
manner.
The Tar Heels will be the
visible opponent, and letdown
an invisible one as Coach Tom
Nugent seeks to keep his team
up against an opponent that
was soundly beaten last week.
Reads Riot Act
He may have to go back only
TO last years game for incen-
tive. North Carolina gained Ais
yards to Maryland's 1874, but the
TerpS won with one of their
laSt-minute punches which
have become almost routine.
The Tar Heels, picked about
the middle of the pack in the
Atlantic Coast Conference in
preseason ratings, scored 27
consecutive points in upsetting
N. C. State, 27-12, in their
opener. But last week Clemson
went for the long pass and won,
27-0. North Carolina has played
only two games.
Coach Jim Hickey, a two
time loser to Nugent, was
disguised with his teams ef-
fort against Clemson, and has
read the riot act this week.
The TerpS, bruised after the
savage scrap with the heavier
Syracuse team, fortunately are
free from injuries and will pre-
sent the same lineup that
clicked against Southern Meth
odist. the Tigers and Syracuse.
The only change could be a
more important role for the
Green team. or No. 3 unit,
which is aching a go on Of
fenSe.
AriZZi to Play Early
Ernie Arizzi, whose 64-yard
dash set up the winning touch
down agaist Syracuse. will be
an early sub for Dennis
Condie tomorrow. now that he
has learned to pace himself.
Arizzi wore himself out trying
to make the team, and for the
first time last week had a
spark.
Condie leads the conference
in rushing. QuarterbackS
Richie Novak and Dick Sinner,
with a 81 per cent passing
average between them, includ-
ing four touchdown passes for
Novak. will work with both
teams.
Gary Collins, the lineman-of-
the-week last week, has another
opportunity to add to his school
and conference records.
Cardinals best game is a ball
control type in which the Tar
Heels prefer to grind it out,
Last week they fell behind
Clemson, 14-0, had to abandon
their solid ground game, and
got beat.
Ray Farris, the North Caro-
lima quarterback, is what used
TO be referred to as a triple
threat. He has kept the ball Is
times in two games, completed
10 of "a passes, and could give
Collins an interesting afternoon
in the punting department
Fullback Bob Elliott is Farris
favorite ball carrier.
The Tar Heels will show off
two area bows in Guard jim
