VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Partial and Not Quite Official
BY FRANCIS STAhN

AS A SMOKESCREEN for the furtive
Vaccinations Of baseball managers, gen.
eraI managers and cluboWners, the World
series is hard to top And, If anything.
there was more undercover trade talk than
usual this time, possibly because the Gin
clnnati Reds were in the series. This odd
collection of Cinderella guys, acquired by
trade, bought and drafted, jumped from
sixth to first. 1t undoubtedly was reasoned
that II the slipper fitted them, it might fit
another club in So
Here is partial, unofficial and ram
bling report of how matters stood in the
American League, especially as they per-
tanned to the Senators, during the recent
tournament at New York and Cincinnati:
The White Sox are ready to unload
Second Baseman Nellie Fox and Outfielder
Minnie MinoSo. They are willing to deal
for First Baseman Roy Sievers.
The Minnesota Twins not only are
willing to divest themselves of Outfielder
Jim Lemon but will do so. Pedro Ramos is
on the block, too and the Twins were ask
ing the Pittsburgh Pirates for Don Hoax,
the third baseman, in exchange. They
admit, however, they need a second base
man AAOSO VI GIL. Dllly NdIOlH 10 oil done.
%*%
DALE LONG AND WILLIE TASBY of
the Senators are available. Washington
would like to pick up Norm Sebern, first
baseman outfielder, from Kansas City, but
up to now the Athletics have demanded
too much. The Senators also are interested
in Sievers and or Bob Allison of the Twins
but probably would gamble on Lemon, If
he came cheap.
Minnesota would like to acquire Chuck
Cottier to pair up with Zorro Versailles
around second base, but not for Harmon
Killebrew. The latter, after playing well at
first base in SO, was sloppy in the field
last season. Next spring Killebrew is due
to be shifted to lefttield teammate
attending the series put it this way: "Har-
mon was told he'd play only first base He
didn't; he was Shuttled between first and
third. He hasn't said So but get the
impression he doesn't like the idea Of play
ing the outfield"
Tack 10 more on Killebrew's output of
46 home runs next season and the lucky
club owning him would have an attraction
mighty like Roger Maris in 81. 1t should
happen to the Senators In their new
stadium . . Killebrew and Piersall, too.

NaWCausing
Cornell Coach
WorryAp|enty
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-After
sitting through all the Stats
tics, scouting reports and past
records, Saturdays Navy Cor
nell game may boil down to
one rather basic observation.
After what happened last
week. Cornell's Tom Harp is
worried more about a crackup
than Nays Wayne Hardin is
worried about a let-down.
This, Of course, should be
CHEEKY news to all the ships at
sea.
"Let-down?" Hardin SAYS.
looking back to Fridays 17-6
upset Of Miami. Il don't think
we have that type of ball club.
These kids won't overlook any,
body. We're not good enough
to overlook anybody, and we're
not bad enough to be afraid of
anybody"
Four Reasons
Hardin figures there are at
least four good reasons why his
youngsters will maintain prop
er behavior:
Q-The unit system. IF one
team gets over-confident," Har-
din says, we'll put in another.
That's an advantage of this
type system"
2-Thc Army aspect. Cor
nell is coached by ex-Army aide
Harp and uses the Army sys-
tenn, complete with a lonely
end. That's supposed to stir up
an obvious reaction among
Midshipmen.
t3-The Ivy League aspect.
A year ago, the MiddieS were
forced to share the Lambert
Trophy. emblematic Of Eastern
supremacy, with an Ivy League
team. Yale. I'VE still remem-
Der that" Hardin says, swal-
lowing hard.
a. - Preparation. II see
where we're favored by Is to
II points" Hardin says, but
so was Miami. I think the kids
are aware that Cornell could
beat US. There's no question
in my mind about 1t. We're
preparing as hard for this
game as we do for any"
Top Backs Sidelined
Cornell would like to be doire
the same, Harp said, via tele-
phone hookup here. but .
there are injuries. For a start
er, Harp reported that his two
top backs. George TeleSh and
Ken Kavensky, are injured and
through for the season. In the
Ivy League, he said, I'VE don't
have too many people to begin
with, and now we're down to
rock bottom"
Telesh and Kavensky scored
all the touchdowns in Cornell's
opening $40 victory over COL
gate. Without them, it was
OLA against Harvard last week
The threats now are Quarter
back Dave McKelvey and his
understudy. Gary Wood, who is
the team rushing leader with
an 80 yards-per-carry average
on 20 trips. Add to them, Joe
Simpson. a left halfback who
has breakaway speed, and
Marcy Tino, another halfback
who can throw the running
option pass.

THE WHITE SOX, as represented by
their new general manager Ed Short,
stated their requirements to Ed Doherty
OF the Senators. They would like to play
j. c. Martin on first base, instead of
Slevers, and would be interested in latch
ing on to Bonnie Daniels and Cottier or
Bob johnson, or both
Kansas City, with General Manager
Pat Friday speaking, wouldn't mind having
Iasoy and maybe Long, but not in ex-
change for Siebern. Every club brings up
Daniels, Cottier and Johnson" Doherty
lamented. How can we trade those fell
lows?" That doesn't mean he won't: he
just asked a question
The esteem In which Cottier and
Johnson apparently are held is ironic.
Cottier came from Detroit in a deal for Hal
Woodeshick, who wasn't helping Washing
ton and didn't aid the Tigers. Cottier
couldn't get an audible foul for weeks, but
he got an opportunity to play every day
and showed folks that he might have in
vented second base
Chuck made the Billy Martins and
Nellie Foxes look like they were wearing
skin-divers' feet, and toward the end when
ne became mite more aggressive at bat
his stock rose. Now, all of a sudden, he
appears to be high on the most-wanted
list.
THE STORY ON JOHNSON is a little
different. Bob got a quick look in spring
training and was sent, over his protests,
to Rochester. you keep Jim Mahoney and
send me away" he said to Doherty. "Why?"
We'll, you're fine prospect" replied
Doherty nimble with the butter. "A little
more Triple-A experience will do you good"
Somebody-not necessarily Doherty-
got fooled. When Johnson was leading the
International League in batting the fans
in Washington had grown tired of looking
at Mahoney and Coot Veal. why don't
you, bring back Johnson" one Senator
official was asked.
Our reports indicate that he is not of
major league caliber," replied the Official.
But the Senators eventually called
johnson back, anyway and he wound up
the season as probably the best infielder
on the club and certainly as the sorappiest
and best hitting. 1t takes little things like
that to make life interesting.

Star Staff Writer

One of the first things a
wide-eyed Norman Snead had
explained to him when he
signed with the Redskins this
year was the point-Spread of
football bookies. He had a fair
ly intelligent faculty at a press
luncheon presided over by Dean
George Marshall.
The young quarterback from
Wake Forest was told how the
S h arpies manipulated their
gambling cards to lure the
suckers. and was warned never
to be seen even looking side
ways at one, much less consort-
ing with him.
This week the Redskins are
seven point favorites to whip
the Steelers at Pittsburgh-or
seven-point underdogs, depend
ing on which line you follow.
There seem to be two versions.
With Bobby Layne apparently
sidelined, possibly for good. it
seems to be the right spot for
the winless Redskins to break
a l2-game losing streak. The
winless Steelers are physical
wrecks. according to reports,
so badly bruised they'll be
lucky to field II men.
Redskins in Bad Shape, Too
The Redskins. however,
aren't much better off. Bill
Anderson has a line fracture of
two ribs and if he plays he'll
wear a special pad. Don Law
renee, handyman of the line.
is still limping with a bad knee
and ankle. Don Bosseler has a
pulled rib muscle. Vince Pro-
muto's shoulder is sagging, and
Jim Schraders back aches.
Gene Cronin has a charley
horse, and Bernie Darre's knee
still troubles him. You go into
Doc Lentz' training room and
it looks like a squad meeting.
The Steelers are a rugged
bunch, despite their injuries.
Rudy Bukich. who will replace
Layne, throws the ball a coun-
try mile, and if the Redskins
secondary is looking the other
way he might rattle off three
or four touchdown pitches. In
two out Of their first four
games the Redskins beat" the
point-spread - victories which
haven't shown up in the stand
ings. They may do it Sunday.
But anybody who bets they'll
even reach Pittsburgh on time.

Tom Nugent's prime concern
as his Maryland football team
prepares for the North Caro-
lima game Saturday in Byrd
Stadium is that the Terps do
not fall into the Tar Heels
trap.
Nugent has films and sta
tistics to prove his point.
North Carolina can beat
you If it can play its own
game" Tom said. The Tar
Heels like to control the ball
and alternate those big full
backs. Bob Elliott and Joe
Davies, with Quarterback Ray
Farris always a running
threat"

Heels won, 27-22, showed the

yardage they gained. 233 in all.
with Davies, Elliott and Farris
making most of it and Glib
Carson helping out. Carson
scored three times from close
up.
Forced From Pattern
Against Clemson last week
North Carolina was forced out
OF its pattern. The Tigers
completed pair of bombs for
touchdowns in what was
otherwise an even first half
That forced the Tar Heels
into a passing game in the sec
ond half. They were going for
the long ones. and his own
coaches and opposing scouts all
know that Farris is no threat
with the long pass. He has tried
"a passes and completed 10 for
113 yards.
Against Maryland last year.
North Carolina. with virtually
the same personnel. rolled up
256 yards on the ground but
lost to the TerpS' spectacular
touchdowns. 22-19. In their
next game, the next-to-last. the
Tar Heels upset Duke and then
posted 386 yards against Vir-
ginia in the final.
Rain or a wet field would
hurt U.S." Nugent said. ANY
thing that would help North
Carolina to play its game. We
need couple of quick ones. or
we're going to be in trouble.
Dangerous on Rollouts
Whitley Dovell. who has
secuted both of North Caro-
lina's games. has great respect
for Farris as a quarterback.
Maybe he can't throw long too
we'll" Whitley said, but he's
dangerous on the rolloutS and is
a good short passer. And he's
smart.
"Farris is great punter."
Doyell said. For a while last
week the game was nothing but
a punt exchange. and I've never
seen better kicking than Farris
and Eddie Werntz put on"
Whitley paid tribute to Gal
thersburg's Jim LeCompte of
the Tar Heels as probably the
best guard in the Atlantic Coast
Conference. Davies. the alter
nate fullback. is product OF
Annandale High.

Redskin-SteeIer Game
A PuzzIer to Figure

with all commercial flights
grounded Saturday, must be
out of his mind.
Meanwhile, Coach Bill Nc
Peak says that he'll use George
Izo more at quarterback from
now on, but that the move
shouldn't be interpreted as dis
satisfaction with Snead's work.
George has been here long
enough to absorb the system. +"
McPeak said, land we're going
to use him"
Longer Chance Promised
The former Notre Dame star,
who was the Cardinals No. l
draft choice a year ago, got in
the last 30 seconds of the
Browns game and completed
his only two passes for 81
yards. A third pass might have
Melted a face-saving touch
down. but the bench sent in a
running play and it failed.
Il didn't realize how little
time was left" McPeak said
after the game. Il wanted to
give him a better chance than
that, but we'll make it up to
him"
Izo could help Snead by
merely giving his teammate a
chance to sit out a series or
two and observe the other
teams defenses. His strong, &C
curate arm wouldn't hurt the
offense. and George is the
lighthearted kind who gives
everybody a lift when he's
around.
Izo might have finished as
the Cardinals No. l quarter
back last year but for the
recurrence Of an old knee in
jury in the Dallas game. An
operation apparently cured the
trouble. At least it didn't
bother him when a half-dozen
Browns tried to pull him down.
On that play he lobbed the
ball to Jim Cunningham for a
l7-yard gain.

Scheffing Voted Top AL Manager
After Conquering Many Obstacles

DETROIT. Oct. IL CAP).-
Bob Scheffing. a weather.
beaten ex-catcher who'd been
fired by the Chicago Cubs, be-
came manager Of the Tigers
before the 1861 season knowing
he faced an obstacle course.
He took over one OF base
balls most mixed-up clubs and
guided 1t to second place. Yes
terday he was named the Amer
lean Leagues manager Of the
year in the Associated Press
annual poll.
I'm grateful to the fellows
on the team" Scheffing said
when he learned Of the honor
on arrival at his home in
Scottsdale, AriZ., last night.
They deserve the award, not
me-"
Scheffing said he was very
happy about the award. He
added that he expected the
Tigers to have about the same
club next season as they had
this year.
But we've got to improve
our pitching and bench" he
said. Our hitting is good,
but we have to improve our
defense. too"
Scheffins was confronted by
many problems when he came
to Detroit.
Seven other men had held
his Job in the previous nine
seasons. None was able to get
the Tigers above fourth place.
