LONDON, Nov. % (AP).-
Terry Downes. part holder of
the world middleweight boxing
title, has been given permis-
sion to have a warmup fight
before defending his crown
against Paul Pender in Boston.
The 25-year-old Londoner
yesterday got the go-ahead
from the British Board of
Control, which thus defied q
ban clamped on Downes by the
boxing authorities of Massa-
chusettS.
Downes has been out of ac-
ton with a thumb injury since
he took the title from Pender
in London last July. He is
committed to a return fight
with Pender in Boston, the
Americans home town.
Last week the Massachusetts
fistic fathers ruled that Downes
must not fight again until he
has fulfilled his contract with
Pender. But the stewards of
the British Boxing Board of
Control gave Downes permis-
sion to have the warmup fight
he says he needs after the

There's a possibility Notre
Dame will forfeit its contro-
versial 17-15 football victory
over Syracuse.
The Rev. Theodore M. Hes
burgh, president of Notre Dame,
said in a televiSion interview
(CBS) Tuesday night:
Everyone knows Notre Dame
doesn't want to win a game if
it really didn't. If the rules
committee determines that we
didn't, we'll act accordingly"
This was an apparent refer
ence to the NCAA Rules Com
mittee, which both schools have
asked for a formal ruling. Bob
Neyland, chairman of the NCAA
committee, has said he believes
both the Big Ten and Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference
have made proper rulings on
the game officials action.
Both conferences ruled, In
effect, that game officials we're
wrong in awarding Notre Dame
q play after the game ended.
On that play Notre Danes
Joe Perkowski booted a 41-yard
field goal to overcome Syra-
cuse's 1914 yead. But the two
conferences also said they had
no authority to change the
score.
Syracuse is a member Of the
ECAC and Notre Dame uses
officials from the Big Ten, but
Is not a member.
The officials had called q

toughing after the Irish tried

tees continue the sport.
Details of the plan for Bos-

adapt its program to meet the
policy of a new level for foot
ball" have yet to be worked out

that the executive committee
had authorized him to report
to that body with some spe-
cific plans in the near future.

win pennant with fellow like DiMaestri
or Billy Gardner" Doherty added.
$50
IN DOUBLE CHECKING Johnson's
Army status, Doherty learned. that his
young infielder's tour of duty will begin
December 18. That means that he won't
be sprung, according to his contract with
Uncle Whiskers, until year from now.
Meanwhile, asked him about Hamlin,
in case we draft the fellow" Doherty said.
" He can throw better from shortstop than
I cam Bob said. The rap against Hamlin
as a fielder is that he plays too shallow,
but that can be corrected, I guess.
Il also got the impression" Doherty
added, wryly that Hamlin isn't much Of
a hitter Well, you can't be too choosy
these days"
There have been only four or five good
shortStops in memory at Washington, our
memory supplemented by that of the late
Clark Griffith, who insisted that George
Mcbride and Donie Bush could play the
position on any club In more modern times
Roger Peckinpaugh of the pennant-win-
ming 1924-25 teams was splendid short
stop.
Rog was considered a weak hitter but
there were seasons when he out-averaged
the 1960-61 Most Valuable Player, Roger
Maris. He was kidded by other players
about the way he played the ball on the
long, late hop but except for his spectacu-
lar goofs in the '25 World Series Rog made
all the plays, including the double.
IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION to the
Senators, the best shortstop ever to play
for Washington was reject, like LilliS or
Hamlin. That would be Cronin. The Pitts
burgh Pirates couldn't use him and farmed
him out Even in the minors he was far
from a Stickout and Joe Engel, who was
scouting for the old Senators, quaked as he
paid out $500 of Clark Griffith'S money
to buy Cronin.
There were more impressive infielders
than Cronin at the time. Jackie Hayes,
who was to become a first-class second
baseman, was one. Bobby Reeves of the
famed throwing arm was another. But
Cronin forced himself to become not only
a great ShortStop but superb hitter
Perhaps the last of the long wearing
shortStops to play for the Senators was
Cecil Travis. He never got due credit. One
year he batted 1853 and didn't come close to
the batting championship because Ted Will
liams hit .4O6. Travis always hit and it
didn't make any difference if the pitcher
was right or lefthanded
1T WAS SAID OF TRAVIS that he
wasn't much fielder. He came up as a
babe, maybe all of 10 years old, and he
replaced the glove artist, Ossie Bluege, at
third base except when the late Earl White
hill was pitching.
Il don't care if he can bat 10OO,"
Whitehill once shouted in the clubhouse.
Il want Bluege when pitch"
Travis listened to the TRADE by White
hill and held his speech, which wasn't diff
ficult. Cecil was quiet Georgia kid who
permitted his deeds to speak for them
selves.
He played pretty solid game of third
base when Whitehill wasn't pitching) and
later he was moved to Shortstop. He wasn't
bad at that job, either. When you look
back on it, Travis not only carried reSo-
Lutte bat but he wasn't the worst Shortstop
The Senators, in the next few weeks
should be so lucky as to latch onto Travis
or Cronin.

Moore is a scoring threat ev-
cry time he touches the ball.
Although second to veteran Joe
Perry in rushing, Lenny sports
the best average on the club
6.3 yards-because he's only
carried Sc times to Perry's 143.
Moore also is second in pass
receiving to Raymond Berry, so
to AZ, but has more yardage
than his talented teammate,
652 yards to Berry's SGT.
In scoring, and this counts
more than all the other fig
ures, Moore is way ahead of
all his teammates with IA
touchdowns. The Colts have
only scored "a in 10 games,
although they're figuring on
adding a few at the Redskins
expense.
Coach Weeb Ewbank has
used Lenny as a tight end for
blocking, as a flanker for pass
receiving and as a halfback
for carrying the ball. A good
tackler, Moore also is used on
defense in the clutch and re-

NEW YORK, Nov. % (AP)
Commissioner Joe FoSs of the
American Football League was
reported in New York today
for possible showdown with
President Harry Wismer of the
Titans, who defied the COM
missioner's cancellation of the
AFL owners secret draft of
college players.
The league office in Dallas
said FoSs was due here from
Washington, where yesterday
he made his decision to nullify
the much-cenSured draft the
league owners conducted more
than two weeks in advance of
the scheduled December date.
However, his whereabouts were
unknown early today.
IF he's here, I sure don't
know about it," WiSmer told
the Associated Press. II don't
know whether he plans to come
to our game. CThe Titans
played Buffalo at IL am. at
the Polo GroundS.)
IF you find him, tell him
I'd gladly pay his rent for a
year here. I always wanted the
league office to be in New
York. Maybe I can get him to
stay here"
Puts FOss on Spot
Wismer wasn't backing down
from his open defiance of Foss'
order canceling the premature
draft, which Foss said was held
without his knowledge and
without his consent. The out
spoken Titans' president also
repeated that "Foss knew about
his early draft despite his de-
mails" and said that "if he
didn't know, he's a poor COM
missioner"
WiSmer'S statement that he
would ignore the commission
er's cancellation and continue
to try to sign the college players
he had selected, including top
pick Ernie Davis of Syracuse,
appeared to put Foss in the
position of either cracking down
with a stiff fine or stepping
out as commissioner of the
young professional league.
Asked if he favored a new
commissioner, Wismer said:

Just Somebody for '62-63

A GOOD SHORTSTOP, the kind of guy
a manager can count on playing every day
for five years, even 10, is so hard to come
by these days that the Senators are willing
to settle for somebody who can fill the
bill in so and 63.
This may not be precisely the way
General Manager Ed Doherty would express
it but as things stand he's hard pressed
for shortstop to turn over to Mickey Yer
non. Between now and March /, when
the full complement of Senators assemblies
at Pompano Beach, it behooves Doherty to
dig up this vital cog.
Originally, it was felt that young Bob
Johnson might serve. Third base is his
personal preference and he's looked good
on second, but until the Army took John
son for year it looked as if he might
have to be the shortStop. He was hitting
well (295) after his recall from the minors
and, all in all, Johnson was shaping up as
one of the better $4,000 expansion
purchases.
He's a Scrambler at shortStop," field
boss Vernon pronounced late in the sea-
son, but he'll do. That's a pretty ag-
gresSive bat he swings"
- -
AT THE MOMENT THE Senators don't
even have a "scrambler" at shortStop.
They do own a nifty glove man in Ron
Stillwell, handsomely bonused player who
barely batted 300 in college in California.
-Four other fellows on the Same club were
better hitters and they all were given
major league bonuses" Stillwell said in a
refreshing statement when he reported to
the Senators.
That's about the sum of it-Stillwell
at short or else deal or minor league
draftee, neither move guaranteed to bring
any late developer in the pattern of, say,
Joe Cronin.
All week Doherty has been talking
long distance, trying to complete a trade
involving two other American League clubs
and one in the National When and if
the Senators swing it, they would wind up
with Bob Lillis from the Houston Colts, one
of the N. L. expansion draftees.
Lillis has been around for quite time.
The Dodgers-both the Brooklyn and Los
Angeles variety-owned him. If the Sena-
tors wind up with Lillis they don't figure
w 1AoNS VIC AOAAS oAloWSL W CllC
problem.
Il TALKED at length to Peewee Reese
about Lillis," Doherty said. Hes an old
buddy of ofmine-Peewee-and it's his opinion
that Lillis was somebody's caddy for too
long.
"'He was back of me at Brooklyn Pee
wee said. He played behind Maury Wills
at Los Angeles, although there was time
when thought he was better than Wills"
If the trade for Lillis falls flat, Doherty
claims that he has no recourse except to
draft from the lean and elderly minor
league list next Monday in Tampa. The
Senators have first draft choice and may
pick Ken Hamlin off the Toronto roster
for $25,OOO Hamlin couldn't make it for
the Kansas City Athletics.
1T made me feel a little better"
Doherty said today, when talked on the
phone to Roy Hamey of the Yankees He
said that if he had first draft choice he'd
draft a shortStop too" The Yankees lost
their No. l shortstop, Tony Kubek, to the
Army.

base. But in either case he's got to try to
