BALTIMORE, Oct. 2 (AP).-
The Baltimore Colts have an
nounced the dismissal of Herb
Wright as assistant general

charged by the FBI with inter-
state transportation of stolen
property.
Mr.. Kellett made it clear his
organization had not questioned
Wright's integrity or efficiency.
I'VE only want to get things
right and see that this club is
run properly" Carroll Rosen-
bloom. owner of the Colts said
The Colts announced earlier
that up to $35,000 worth OF
season tickets were missing
The ticket office, still is trying
to straighten out the situation
in which tickets apparently
were sold twice.

RetzIuff Is Lost
To Eagles for
6 to 8 Weeks

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2 (AP).
-X-ray photographs of End
Pete Retzlaff's fractured left
forearm yesterday indicated he
will be out of the Philadelphia
Eagles lineup for six to eight
weeks.
Coach Nick Skorich of the
National Football League team
had looked into the possibility
of Retzlaff's playing with his
arm in a cast.
However, after X-rays re-
Vealed the nature of the break,
Retzlaff was placed on the in
iured-reserved list. If no club
puts in a claim within 48 hours,
the Eagles can remove his name
from the roster for four weeks
and sign a new player 20 re-
place him.
"The doctor fears movement
! of the arm would widen the
break and create the possibility
of surgery" Skorich said. "Oi
course, we're not going to Iur
any risk like that"
Skorich and his staff vii
work on Ralph Catfish Smith
former star end at the Uni
versity of Mississippi, to re-
place Retzlaff against tht
Steelers Saturday night a

Utz Could GiveVPILift
In Clash With Virginia

In last Saturdays 14-0 loss
to West Virginia, Utz returned
two kickoffs for SO yards and
gained SO yards in six carries
from scrimmage. He could wind
up as a king-sized thorn in
Virginia's side.
Utz was switched to fullback
from halfback after Techs
spring drills. However, he didn't
find that chore as tough as
learning the duties of a line
backer. He played halfback on
defense in high school.
Sonny was a star at AMMAN
dale for two years. He was
named to The Stars All-Sub-
urban Virginia team in 1860
and was the leading ground
gamer for the Gobblers' fresh
man team last year.

On Retirement

CINCINNATI, Oct. 2 (AP)
Frank Robinson's statement
that he is retiring from base

The Reds outfielder, who had
his finest season during the last
campaign, said Saturday he was
quitting the game because OF
the physical beating I've been
taking in baseball"
The 27-year-old outfielder
conferred yesterday with Bill
Dewitt, president of the Gin

less than a half hour and
Dewitt then issued this state

Pierce Rates Win Over Dodgers
AS Greatest of Lengthy Career

Davis had smashed a three
run homer off Pierce in SINH

August. Manager Alvin Dark

Pierce to slow down and had
Don Larsen warming up.
Strikes Out Six
Dark said later he would have
lifted Pierce had Davis gotten
aboard. But the Dodger slug
ger flied out to right-center.
This time l kept my break
ing balls in on him more. ="
Pierce explained. II could pitch
a little differently this time
because the wind to right wasn't
as strong as usual"
In no other inning did Pierce
face more than four men. and
he retired the side in order six
times. Only five outs came on
ground balls as Pierce struck
out six and kept the rest of the
Dodgers popping up or flying
out.
Maybe my fast ball was hop
ping a little, so they were hit
ting under it," he theorized.
"It was quite a job by a
little pro-" Dark smiled.

That's as great a ball game
as I've ever been involved in,
and certainly one CT the most
important of my whole career. "
Pierce spent a year with Detroit
and 13 with the White Sox
before coming to the Giants
last winter.
This ranks above my near
perfect game in 1885," he said.
Pierce retired 26 men in a row
that time before losing the no.
hitter to a pinch-hit double.
THE fast ball was my best

Frank Howard three times on

famed Howard for the final

GWs Defensive Line
Making Camp Anxious
BY DICK SLAY
Star Staff Writer

Ever since he bounded into
his office Sunday night after
the long flight from Utah,
Coach Jim Camp has been
searching = figuratively, at
least-for a thick black pencil.
He figures perhaps his
George Washington football
team might be better able to
see what he means by a de-
fensive line if he draws it in
more heavily on paper.
Camp was extremely pleased,
relieved, enthused and what
have you, over the 1912 VIC
tory against Brigham Young,
but he was shaken visibly by
the 400 yards earned by the
opposition ball carriers.
Eldon Fortie, the 167-pound
Brigham Young tailback,
gained, 272 yards rushing and
another q on two pass COM
pletions, giving him 769 yards
in total offense for three games.
Camp needed little urging be-
fore he stated that Forte is
the best back to play against
CIV in his two years.
Halfbacks Also Praised
"In fact" the coach said
pointedly, "he's one of the best
backs I've seen anywhere in
the last 10 years"
Since Camp is not in the
business of selling Brigham
Young tickets and since he's
coached in tough leagues else
where, that statement carries a
little weight.
While he was making with
the Superlatives, Camp honored
his halfback corps with a few.
Bill Pashe, he said, played by
far his best game on offense"
that he's seen.
Tony Fredicine was excep-
tional on defense, and so was
Buddy Pollock. Pollock rushed
through to block Brig h a m
Young's first extra point place.

from Fortie.

yards, including 26 on the 68-
yard push for the tying touch
down, which he scored from
the 6. Dick now has 181 yards
for three games.
GW's first score came on a
72-yard advance in the second
quarter with Pashe accounting
for runs of 80 and IA yards,
the latter up the middle for the
TOUCHDOWN. Bill, once consid-
cred a defensive specialist,
gained SO yards on IL tries
Saturday night.
Line Injuries Hurt
Up in the line, the situation
is not quite so good, the
result of more injuries. Line
hackers Gary Scollick and Ron
Cindrich were hurt in the first
five minutes against Brigham
Young and only Scollick re-
turned to the game, and then
not until the last quarter. Gary
injured a knee and Cindrich
pulled tendons in an ankle.
Both are doubtful participants
against Furman Friday night
at D. C. Stadium.
Also, End Dick Duenkel re-
injured his chest in the first
quarter and could be used only
in two-minute stretches the
rest of the game.
OF the two players who
didn't make the trip, End Paul
Flowers is definitely out Fri
day night with a cast on his
wrist and Co-Capt. Cliff Bot
yos still is on crutches and
might remain sidelined from
his tackle job.

Virginia's football team ex-
poets to run into a buzz saw
in Roanoke Saturday against
Virginia Tech and Coach Bill
Elias can't figure out what tie
Gobblers use for oil to get their
spirits burning.
"VPI can get as fired up as
any football team I've seen"
Elias said, especially for Vir-
ginia." He was referring to
Techs 300 upset over the
Cavaliers last year in Roanoke
II can't figure out how they
get so high for u.s." Elias said.
Then he laughed: Maybe it's
that mountain dew they cook
up down in that area"
Then again, German schnapps
might have something to do
with the spirit in Saturdays
game. One of the Gobblers
most promising sophomores is
Sonny Utz, a 205-pound full
back of German descent from
Annandale.
Utz is VPI's biggest back in
many years and he already is
rated a threat on kickoff re-
turns, a little item that broke
Virginia's back last year. Terry
Strock returned the second-hah
kickoff 96 yards for a touch
down to take all the starch
out of the Cavaliers.
Utz has shown steady i'm
provement in Techs first three
games. He played only a few
minutes against VILLA m &
Mary but set up one of the
Gobblers' touchdowns in the
1914 decision over CIV two
weeks ago with a 53-yard kick
off return.

which had occurred. The others
charged the scene of action forth
with. AS they approached the
trees, from the east, il was nee
essary to cross the river. Just
as they were crossing the stream,
firing began again. Not sparing
their horses, and keeping close
to the brush along the stream,
the fourteen men were in good
firing range before the Chey'
ennes spied them.
The attackers rounded the
patch of trees where Tom and
Red Bird had taken refuge, when
they saw the second group of
scouts farther down the stream.
Since they were exposed to the
fire of the larger bunch, the In
dams continued after them. Sew
eral Cheyennes fell in the first
exchange, also two scouts were
hit. Liggett got it in the left
thigh and Niles Cromwell receiv-
ed a bullet which went through
the side of his face.
The Cheyennes saw that they
outnumbered their enemies by
several to one, so they rushed
the attack with the idea of over
towering them in short order.
That very thing might have hap
pened, had it not been for the
unnoticed approach of twenty
five more men, who we're under
Sharp Growers command and en-
tered the combat from the east.
As Grover and his men came to
the rescue of his hard-pressed
fellow scouts, they poured a
steady fire into the ranks of the
bold Cheyennes, who gradually
fell back west, to take cover be-
hind the same grove of trees
which sheltered Tom and Red
Bird.
The two scouts were being
greatly harassed by the foe, but
they were giving a good account
of themselves, even though both
were not untouched. Red Bird
had a wound in the left side, and
the little finger on Toms left
hand was bleeding. Red Bir d
jumped behind a tree and said,
The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1962-02-15

Il think we better move east. We
are going to get caught in a cross
fire pretty quick now. Grover Is
coming up and driving the dog
faces west, and he won't know
where we are. That's liable to
cause his men to smoke us up as
they do the dog faces"
The two were flat on their
stomachs, backing to the east
side of the trees, when suddenly
six or eight Cheyennes rushed
them. The leader was the big,
ugly, well mounted, Yellow Moon.
Recalling that Red Bird had
said he would like to take Vel
low Moons scalp, Tom passed
him up, with his sights and took
the next closest. He had dumped
two from their horses, VIII n,
without warning, he saw that
Yellow Moon was almost on him.
AS Tom grabbed his Colts for
close action, the big, hulking
Cheyenne leaped from his horse
in front of him. That was his last
Jump, for as his feet hit the
ground, a knife thrown by Red
Bird buried itself to the guard,
in his heart. He fell forward,
dead. His body was only inches
from Tom, so he used it for
breastworks during the next sew

Fifteen or more of Growers
men entered the wooded patch,
from the east, and made their
first contact with Tom and Red
Bird.
Soon after the death of their
leader, the Indians withdrew all
of their forces and moved up the
creek out of rifle range. This &C
ton was welcomed by the scouts
for they needed time to organize
and take stock of the dead and
wounded. Grover found that he
had seven men dead, four badly
wounded and several more slight,
ly injured.
The Cheyennes left twenty.
