In the market for a new football
coach, It appeared Wednesday in
the wake of Brutus Hamilton's
surprise resignation as athletic
director.
Although official confirmation
was larking, the word was that
Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf would
step up to the directorship from
his head football coaching post
and that the school would seek
a replacement for him from the
ranks of established coaches.
Hamilton’s resignation late
Tuesday came as a surprise de
spite persistent rumors of reor
ganization of the Cal athletic
program. 'Die veteran Hamilton,
who took over tpc directorship in
1947, will remain as head track
coach, a jsist he has held since
1933
In his letter of resignation,
Hamilton said his action was "not
a hasty decision but one that has
been under advisement for some
time."
"This resignation is brought
about by the feeling that the bur
dens md respoNibllitiea of direct
ing the largest intercollegiate
program on the coast have grown
to such an extent in the last few
years that I cannot devote suf
ficient time to my track boys
or my track progoram." he said
Bill Terry Hints
At Giant Purchase
NEW YOKE W Bill Terry,
former star New York Giant
first baseman and manager,
would like to get back into ma
jor league baseball, especially as
owner of the Giants.
"I would like to buy the Giants
if Horace Stone ham is willing to
sell,” said Terry, who now is
president of the Sally League.
‘T've got the money. If I could
buy the Giants I would definitely
keep the club in New York and
use Yankee Stadium, providing it
could be obtained.”
Terry hastened to say he had
not approached Stoneham. Nor
has Stoneham given any indica
tion he would be willing to sell
the club. There have been ru
mors, however, that the club
would either be moved to another
city or Its home field shifted
across the Harlem River to Yan
kee Stadium.
Terry, member of the baseball
hall of fame, piloted the Giants
to the world championship in
1933 and also won National
League pennants in 1936 and
1937. He was succeeded as man
ager in 1941 by Mel Ott.

from North Idaho Junior col
lege; Nick Utt, 5’10” sophomore
from Menlo Junior college, and
Charlie Franklin, a 6’3” forward

Ump Denies
Helping RBI
NKW YORK >*i Joe Paparella,
American League umpire, Tues
day vehemently dented Boston
news stories that he had helped
Jackie Jones of the Ked Sox in
his bid to win the American
league runa-batted-in champion
ship.
Jensen was sent tip ns a
pinch-hitter in the sixth inning
with New York with two on
and two out. Boston's bench
already whs aware that Itay
Boone of Detroit had driven In
two runs to tie Jensen at 115
KBIs.
According to reports in Bos
ton morning papers Monday,
Yankee pitcher Tom Sturdivant
had a 3-1 count on Jensen when
Paparella asked:
"What do you want on the next
call ?
"A strike, no matter where it
is, if I don't swing," Jensen was
said to have replied. The reports
said the new pitch was called a
strike although it was wide, giv
ing Jensen another chance to
swing.
Paparella angrily denied the
report#
"There is absolutely no truth
to It," said Paparella. “Jensen
never spoke to me at the plate.
With the count 3-1, the next
pitch was a letter high pitch
which was a strike in my Judg
ment and 1 called it a strike. Jen
sen walked on the next pitch.
“There was no conversation
whntsover between Jensen and
myself at the plate and, fur
thermore, as an umpire, I
would not let any record situa
tion between two players In
fluence in the slightest way a
call on any pitch. Finally, I
was not even aware that Jen
sen and Boone were tied In
runs hatted In.”
Paparella was called into New
York from his Pockville, Pa.,
home Tuesday to confer with
Will Harridge, American league
president.

Collins Blasts Homers
As Yanks Snare Opener
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK i/P) Joe Collins
part time first baseman, bench
warmer and pinch hitter, smash
ed two home runs Wednesday to
(five the New York Yankees first
flood over the Brooklyn Dodgers,
B-fi, in the opener of their sixth
World Series.
The 32-year-old inflelder, who
showed a puny . 14M hatting av
oraf'f' for five previous World
Series, ripped into I>on Ncw
combr, the Brooks’ 20-ga me
winner, for the two homers,
and drove in three runs.
Not even an electrifying steal
of home by Jackie Robinson in
the eighth and homers by Carl
Kurillo and Duke Snider could
save the Dodgers, who never
have won a series. Once again
they opened the series on the
same frustrating note of de
feat.
After Whitey Ford, the chunky
New York lefthander, appeared
to tire In the two-run eighth
inning, manager Casey Stengel
brought on Bob Grim to pitch
the ninth.
The fast-balling righthander
struck out Pee Wee Reese, yield
ed a single to Snider,- got Roy
Campanula on a deep fly to
Hank Bauer and flipped a third
strike past Murillo's swinging bat
to nail it down.
It was Ford's victory' and
another auspicious start for
the Yanks, who own a fabu
lous 18-4 record In series com
petition. The winner of the
opener has raptured 32 of 52
previous series games. Grim

world series."
The New York Yankees’ Joe
Collins, a bust in the 52 series
with these same Dodgers, en- i
joyed the spotlight Wednesday
for his two mighty home runs
which helped the Yanks to an:
opening 6-5 victory over Brook
lyn at Yankee Stadium.
"That ’52 series is still a night- 1
mare to me," the 33-year-old first j
baseman said in the excitement j
of the Yankee dressing room.
"I went hitless in 12 times at
bat and in one game Carl Erskine
struck me out four times. He j
did the same to Mickey Mantle.
“But today I felt I got a little j
even—and it’s a wonderful feel
ing.”
Moore Kayos Idea
Of Turpin Fight
SAN DIEGO —Archie Moore
denied London reports Wednes
day he had agreed to fight Ran-1
dolph Turpin in London.
"Right now, I’m concentrating
on getting a rematch with Marci- j
ano,” Moore said. "Rocky owes it
to the public.”
Moore, light heavyweight
champion, lost his bid to take
the heavyweight title from Mar
ciano last Wednesday.
He said no satisfactory com
mercial arrangement has been
made for a light heavyweight
championship fight with Turpin.
Promoter Jack Solomons said
earlier in London that Moore’s
manager, Charlie Johnson, had
agreed by transatlantic telephone
for Moore to fight Turpin in Lon
don Jan 10, 1956.
Moore said he has not talked
to Johnson since Moore left New
York City Sunday for his home
here.
tied the wore with a tw'o-mn
home run in the second inning.
But the big man was Collins,
from the coal fields of Scranton,
Pa. His first homer, lined into
the lower right field seats in the
fourth sent the Yanks out front,
4-3. and his second smash, a 4fXi
foot wallop into the bleachers in
right center with Yogi Berra on
base in the sixth provided the
late inning insurance the Yanks
needed.
Brooklyn rocked Ford, the lefty
who dared to face the heavy
right-handed sluggers of the
Dodgers, and scored two runs in

son’s triple and Don Zimmer’s
single. .
The Tanks came right back
with a pair in their half of the
second on a walk to Collins
and Howard’s line drive homer
into the lower stands in left.
Snider gave Brooklyn the lead
again in the third when he
smashed a 1-2 pitch by Ford deep
into the upper deck in right field,
breaking his own National
League record with a sixth World
Series home run.
Once again the Yanks lost no
time in tying it up in their half
of the third on a w’alk to Ford,
Hank Bauer's single and two suc

pered in from third while the
Dodger infield played back and
Zimmer threw' out Irv Noren for

With the game all knotted up
at 3-3, Collins lined his first
home run, four or five rows into
the lower right field seats, to
lead off the fourth inning.

Brooks Make Big
Plays; Still Lose
NEW YORK iJD The Brooklyn
Dodgers made the big plays of
the opening game of the 1955
World Series Wednesday all on
their own — Jackie Robinson’s
steal of home, the attempted
bunts of Robinson and Carl Fu
rillo in the eighth.
And although they lost they
' weren't too discouraged.
“They just beat us, that’s all,”
'said manager Walt Alston, the
soft spoken pedagogue, I thought
Newk had his stuff pretty good,
but he wasn’t as sharp with his
! control as usually."
Newk Ducks Out
As for Don Newcombe, the
giant Dodger pitcher who now
has lost his third world series
game and has yet to win, he
showered quickly and left the
stadium before the rest of the
sad faced team filed in, followed
by newspapermen.
Most of the Dodger talk was
about that big eighth inning
when the score was narrowed
down to 6-5.
“Robby and Furillo were bunt
i ing on their own,” said Alston.
“They w'anted to get on base.
When you're three runs behind,
| one home run doesn't do much
i good.”
Bunts Fail
The Yankee defense was play
ing deep and both tried bunts to
the considerable surprise of the
| crowd. Both failed. Eventually
Furillo singled to center and Rob
inson was safe on Gil McDoug
i aid's error.
Furillo came home on Don Zim
, mer’s fly to center and Robinson
| advanced to third. That set the
stage for the most dramatic play
of the game—Robinson’s steal of
j home, which precipitated a vio
lent argument at the plate. Yogi
' Berra, the Yankee catcher, and
manager Casey Stengel joined in
the heated argument with una
i pire Bill Summers—all to no
avail.
“Robby was strictly on his own
i stealing home,” said Alston.
Whitey Ford apparently didn’t
; see Robinson until he was at
, least half way, and he hurried his
' throw' to Berra.
