Hornung starred with a losing Irish chib that suffered from tn- ' expenecoe this past season but nevertheless proved an individual ataridcut and was the pro bonus choice of the Green Bay Parkers. In the all-star game at Kezar Stadium, he'll be working his split T magic behind a line averaging x 214 pounds. Ta Stick to Ground B Hornung s college coach, Terry Brennan, heads the staff for the !

Out By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor Baseball enjoyed a year in which wapru-UB ouineiuer as nien- tioned in the same breath with the immortal Babe Ruth and a pitcher without a windup achieved the first perfect game in World Series history. The outfielder was Mickey Man tle, who came of age as baseball's top slugger at 25, and the hurler was free-wheeling Don Larsen, 27, who in the fifth World Series game set 27 Brooklyn Dodger batters down in order. Larsen, despite only one shutout and 11 American League victories, put the Yankees in front for the first time in the Series, by beating Sal Maglie 2-0 with his perfect game. After a 10-inning 1-0 set back at the hands of Clem Labine in the sixth game, Yankee Johnny Kucks blanked the Dodgers, 94 in the seventh and final contest to give the Yankees their sixth world championship in seven attempts during Casey Stengel s cight-sca-n regime.

His main problem is to stop backfield star Rick Casares and end Harlon Hill, the two big of fensive threats of the Bears. "Well," he said, "we have about 12 basic defenses with nations off them to suit indi ii-iriiifil imuuji situations. Defenses are varied against passing or running as we feel or guess what the Bears would use in a certain situation. "Of course, we could double up on Casares or Hill. But then we would leave a fine runner like Bobby Watkins or pass receiver like Jim Doolcy lightly guarded. "When we played the Bears the first time, Watkins was injured and Dooley hadn't come back from military service. They have strengthened the Bear attack con siderably. Howell said the Giants would use some new variations of their Bas,c defenses to suit wnat tney ( ,u u""1 month. His 50th homer won the pennant for the Yankees. Mantle, most valuable player in the American League, carried off just about every hitting honor in both leagues. He paced the Ameri can League in five departments with 52 home runs, 130 runs batted in, a ,3o3 batting average, most runs scored with 132 and in total bases with .376. llts slugging av erage was .705.

It was MGuire who labeled Utah the "team to beat" in the Dixie basketball classic. Now if he can put upset-minded Duke in the same category, the Tar Heels probably will win the tournament in a breeze. North Carolina crushed the Sky line Conference team 97-76 last night as Lennis Rosenbluth rang up 36 points. The Tar Heels, ranked second nationally, will meet Duke tonight.

(AP Wirephoto) Australia Cup; 2nd Straight Giammalva Star While Losing Match Bv WILL GRIMSLEY ADELAIDE. Australia (fl Aus tralia placed a resounding final stamp on its Davis Cup victory over the United States today when phlegmatic Ken Rosrw?ll and blond blaster Lew Hoad won the final two singles matches for a perfect 5-0 triumph. Rosewall had to go tour Diner sets before subduing University of Texas junior Sam Giammalva 4-6, 6-1, 8-5, 7-5. Hoad polished off 33-i year-old Vic Seixas 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that produced some bril liant tennis on both sides. Now the United States must start all over agiin. This is the second year running the Aussies have shut out the Yanks. A check of the records also shows this the fourth time the lads from Down Under have whitewashed the Americans. Even on Blanks On the other hand, the United States, which has been in 37 of the 45 Challenge Rounds that have been contested since , 1900. also has blanked the Aussies four times. In. that respect, ,at least, they are even. Probably the most popuun : p -- er on me tuun uwiiim' who captured the hearts of the capacity crowd of 18.000 at the War Memorial Drive courts. Texas Sammy shows his emo tions with every shot. He alter nately exhibits glee and despair. Some experts thought Sam might have helped beat himself bv playing strictly to Rosewall's forehand, the weakest link m Ken's armor. Relentless Attack Not once did Gianmalva let up his relentless and wming attack o" "e Rosewall forehand. Ajain wall began moving in on the net and quickly ran up a 4-0 lead. Giammalva conceded the set and started fresh. Hut rushed Giammalva In tne third set and played Rosewall on even terms until " n broke in the 13th game. v:. Trade-In priced at only ottn ) 6?ff STiMfJ The Champion's in a ,!-. X V j Sweeps But, though he was down 2 sets to 1 against perhaps the world's top amateur, Giammalva was net ready to throw in the towel. He ran up a 5-1 lead in the fourth set, but he couldn't hold it. Seixas played some of the best tennis of his career against Hoad, but there probably wasn't an am ateur in the world who could have beaten Lew today. Devastating Forehand It was load's devastating fore hand smash that proved the un doing of Seixas. These shots are unpredictable, but when he can control them, they're practically untouchable. After losing the first set even though he managed to break Head's service once. Seixas had a good opportunity to win the sec ond sot and tie it. With Hoad serving, he had two set points in the 10th game, but Lew pulled it out, then broke Seixas in the 11th game for the only break of the set. Hoad, who played as though he wanted to get the chore out of the way as fast as possible, broke Seixas' service in the third game of the final set, and from there on it was a runaway for the Aussie.
