Healthiest
Clubs Nearer
Pro Titles
By EARL WRIGHT
i United Press Sports Writer
i The National Football league's
division races have turned into
survivals of the fittest, and the
healthiest teams are closest to
the titles.
; The Detroit Lions, New York
Giants and Cleveland Browns
have suffered injuries. But they
have been enjoying perfect
health in comparison with the
other leading title contenders.
Detroit boasts a two - game
lead in defense of its western
division crown and the next
three clubs are virtually ham
strung by injuries. The San
Francisco Forty Niners have
suffered at least 10 major, in
juries. They lost Hugh McElhen
ny, probably the league's best
runner, two weeks ago after
playing the first half of the sea
son without Gordie Soltau, lead
ing NFL scorer In 1952 aid
1953.
The Los Angeles Rams, who
are tied with the Forty Niners
for second behind Detroit, have
been hit almost as hard. They
lost Bob Carey, a top offensive
end, early in the campaign and
Tank Younger one the league's
best ball carriers, last Sunday
in addition-to other fine players.
1 Bears Comeback Nipped .
The Chicago Bears looked like
the Bears of old several weeks
ago but were unable to start
fullback Chick Jagade against
the Browns last Sunday and lost
star passer Georga Blanda for
the rest of the season when he
hurt his shoulder in that game.
Coach Jim Howell admits lack
of injuries is one reason his
Giants have a half-game lead in
the eastern race.
"A lot of the teams are losing
out because too many of their
players are hurt," Howell says.
"We had injuries early in the
season but have been lucky
lately. It's a question whether
we can stand up physically the
rest of the season."
Cleveland, hot on New York's
heels, played the Bears without
Ray Renfro, one of the league's
fastest runners. But Chet Han
ulak, the little rookie back fronv
Maryland, is becoming familiar
with Coach Taul Brown's sys
tem and helped beat the Bears
by gaining 90 yards on 11 rush
es. - . - -.'..' .
The Philadelphia Eagles, only
a game behind New York, lost
to the Giants . last Sunday , to
slip from a tie for first!: ., T h e
Eagles played without Jim Par
mer, their leading ball earner,
and have been in trouble since
Bob Walston, the league's top
scorer, suffered a broken jaw
against Pittsburgh.
Stealers Dragged From Race
Pittsburgh was riding high
after beating Cleveland and
Philadelphia but injuries, par
ticularly on the defensive pla
toon, have helped drag the
team practically out of the
eastern race since those big vic
tories. The Steelers have been
hurt by the loss of Ernie Staut
ner, one of the circuit's best ae-
fensive tackles, linebacker "ick
Flanagan and other key rerfor
mers.

82-72, Judge Jack Silver had it

Ray Flores, Carter WA-lWi
United Press scorecard saw it
Carter 79-75.
The Harlem boxer first won
the title as an unknown when
he . stopped Ike Williams in
1951. Then he lost it on a de
cision in Los Angeles to Lauro
Salas in 1952 only to recapture
it five months later.
Last March he lost it again
this time to DeMarco, whb
took a 15-round decision in
New York. '
Time began to run ' out on
Paddy's short, uneasy reign
when Carter dropped him with
a left hook midway in the ninth
round. DeMarco, who learned
how to be a man in street fights
around Brooklyn's Sands Point
district,- scrambled up at the
count of four.
Carter had DeMarco in
troub several times after that
but Paddy seemed to be getting
some of his early steam back
when Carter stopped one of his
rushes short with a smacking
left hook to the face in DeMar
co's corner. Then came another
left hook after the break' and
DeMarco crashed to the canvas
from a lefkhook at the bell end
ing the llth.
Over Soon in 141h.
DeMarco, his left eye battered
to the size of a healthy hen's
egg and that faraway look in
his eyes, tottered - out to start
the 15th and immediately stag
gered into a neutral corner be
fore a rajn of lefts and rights.
As the crowd yelled, "Stop
it," Referee Flores stepped be
tween them and Carter was
king once more.
DeMarco, who said he loved
to fight as the underdog, had
the crowd roaring with him for
the first three rounds. The early
aggressor, he pumped lefts and
rights into Carter's midsection
with the speed of a riveter and
scored with a fine left hook from
a distance.
But DeMarco's furious pace
began to cool in the fourth and
Carter scored with a right to his
eye as the. fifth ended which
put the orb in trouble for the
rest of the night. '
Paddy reciprocated by open
ing a small but deep cut over
Carter's left eye in the 10th
after Jimmy definitely seemed
to be on the way to a knock
out in the preceding round. -;

All-America
Drums Beat
For G. Shaw
By HOWARD APPLEGATE
Portland (U.R) George
Shaw of Oregon and Paul Lar
son of California, running a
close race for national total hon
ors, also are in the thick of the
battle for all-American.
Since both play quarterback,
only one if either can make
it. And the drums are beating
loudly in the Bay area of Cali
fornia for Larson, who has a
terrific pass-completion per cent
age. Drums also are beating in
the Northwest for Shaw, but
not as loudly principally be
cause of the population factor.
There simply are. more people
to beat drums for Larson in Cal
ifornia than there are for Shaw
in Oregon.
With a divided vote likely on
the Pacific Coast, perhaps nei
ther will wind up an all-American,
Fellows like Ralph Gugli-
elnn of Notre Dame and Lenny
Dawson of Purdue can be ex
pected to pick up a big share of
Midwest and Eastern votes. And
records of the California and
Oregon elevens are against Lar
son or Shaw making all-Ameri
can. Total offense, in itself, isn't
enough.
Passes Van's Mark
But you can't convince sup
porters of the two stars. Es
pecially Shaw supporters, who
point out that it's tougher for
a player from Oregon to make
all-American than it is a play
er from California. ,
A few years back a fellow
named Norman Van Brocklin
was the Oregon quarterback.
The "Flying Dutchman" got
mention but wasn't a . "con
sensus all-American. Now he s
rated as one of the all-time
great passers of football.
Shaw has surpassed Van
Brocklin's record at Oregon. His
pass percentage is about the
same. Like Van Brocklin, Shaw
throws the long pass. Larson is
more adept at the short pass.
And there are some who will tell
yo,u Shaw is as good a passer
now as was Van Brocklin in his
final year' at Oregonalthough
that's a case for argument.
Coaches Praise Both
Shaw also is a better all-
around football player than Van
Brocklin. He's a threat at runr
ning the ball; he plays defense
something Van Brocklin. never,
did; he kicks extra points and
kicks off. Whether he will seek
a profesional football career is
open to doubt since he's also a
star outfielder in baseball.
West Cost coaches have been
high in their praise of both
Shaw and Larson. There's little
room to choose between "them
here. Perhaps the best compari
son is in the game in which they
opposed each other. Shaw, nurs
ing a leg injury, came off the
bench to lead Oregon to' a 33-27
victory over California. He com
pleted 12 of 19 passes for 160
yards. - Larson had 7 out of 11
for 106 yards. Shaw was held
to six yards rushing but Larson
was smeared for minus 25. How
ever, Larson ran back a punt
for a touchdown. - .
Last season, Shaw was named
to the United Press all-coast
team over Larson. This year,
both are apt to make it desnite
the fact they're both quarter-
DacKs. But aU-American is a
different thing.
Chances are that Shaw would
be more satisfied with a. victory
over Oregon State this coming
Saturday. He's in his fourth vear
and the Webfoots have yet to
beat the Bearvers while he's
been in the lineup. ' -

Yankees Obtain Bob Turley
In Big Deal With Orioles
By MILTON RICHMAN
New York -(U.R) The New
York Yankees made their first
major trade to regain their lost'
world championship today by
acquiring pitchers Bob Turley
and Don Larsen and shortstop
Billy Hunter from the Baltimore
Orioles in the biggest deal in
baseball history.
The Yankees gave up out
fielder Gene Woodling, pitchers
Harry Byrd and Jim McDonald,
infielder Willie Miranda and
rookie catchers Gus Triandos
and Hal Smith in the million
dollar deal. '
In addition, the Yankees will
deliver three more players, pre
sumably from their farm sys
tems, to be named later.
Weaknesses Plugged .
General Manager George
Wiess of the Yankees, who clos
ed the deal, said it would wind
up as the 'largest in the history

players involved was considered
upwards of one million dollars.
Additional Baltimore players
also will be involved.
When we got Turley and ,

Beaver Sale
Wrapped Up
Portland U.R) Sale of the
Portland Beavers of the Pacific
Coast baseball league to a home
owned group was completed here
yesterday.
The Portland baseball club,
represented by Milo Mclver, vice
president, and Calvin Souther,
secretary, presented the former
owners with a certified check
for $75;000 for the team's fran
chise. G. V. Uhr, secretary, and
A. J. Cook, represented the re
tiring corporation. , ,
Bill .Garbarino, assistant gen
eral manager, left for Los An
geles shortly after the transac:
tion and was to meet with the
PCL directors today to obtain
formal approval of the sale.
900 Buy. Stock . '.
The new team owners an
nounced that about $160,000
worth of stock, at $10 per share
had been sold to an ' estimated
900 persons. Only Oregon resi
dents are eligible to purchase
stock.
Mclver said the club manage
ment hoped to increase the in
vestment figure to $250,000 by
the end of this month, when gen
eral manager Joe Ziegler will at
tend the major-minor league
meeting in Houston and make
player deals for next season.
The league franchise and the
team's players were included in
the transaction. Mclver said the
new owners would lease Vaughn
street park from the former own
ers, who are headed by George
Norgan, Vancouver, B.C. .
Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Tractors
should not be driven o,ver soil
shortly after irrigation. Such
action can cut the penetration
of water from one and one-half
inches a minute to only one-half
inch.
Weiss said. "They are two of the
finest and fastest young right
handers in the game. Both of
them figure to get better and
they are young. Turley is only
24 and Larsen is 25.'.'
Traded Turley Reluctantly
Baltimore, which finished sev
enth in the American League
last, season, parted most reluc
tantly with Turley, 24-year-old
righthander who led the Ameri
can League with 185 strikeouts
in 1954. Sought by every club in
the league Turley won 14 games
and lost 15 last season while
compiling a 3.46 earned run
average. At one time, the Orioles
hung a $200,000 price tag on
him. . .
Larsen, a 25-year-old right
hander also was widely coveted
despite a woeful record of only
three "victories against 21 de
feats. Like Turley, he is a fast
ball pitcher with limited major
league . experience. .
The key man in the long
drawn-out trade talks between
general Manager George Weiss
of the Yankees and Paul Rich
ards, who serves as both general
manager and field manager for
the Orioles, was the peppery 26-year-old
Hunter who cost the St.
Louis Browns $90,000 plus" three
players when they bought him
from the Brooklyn Dodgers Oct.
14, 1952. ,
To Replace Rizzuto
A ' fast-moving slick fielder
who batted only .243 last season,
Hunter will be groomed to re
place 36-year-old Phil Rizzuto,
who has played shortstop for the
Yankees since 1941.
From the Orioles point of
view, the player they sought
most was Woodling, 32-year-old
left fielder who was sidelined
part of 1954 with an injured
wrist and hit only .250 after
battin .309 in 1952 and 306 in
1953. .
It was reported that the Yan
kees and Orioles would make a
subsequent deal in two or three
weeks but there was no official
confirmation. '.''',. i

UCLA Scores
Up Fewest
, New York U.PJ UCLA sub
scribes to simple ideas in foot
ball. Score more than anybody
else, give up fewer points than
anybody else, and you shouldn't
lose and UCLA hasn't.
Coming up to their final game
of the season against Southern
California Saturday -the bowl
barred Bruins have achieved
what only two previous teams
have been able to do in record
ed major college football history
go into the last game leading
the country in point defense as
well as offense.
NCAA Service Bureau statis
tics, which Wednesday showed
the Uclans averaging 41.6 points
a game, today revealed that they
have allowed only 5 a game. In
actual point totals, 333 to 40,
UCLA is on top also.
The two precedents for this
came in 1942 and 1944, and both
times the teams in question fin
ished strong and won both titles.
In 1942 Tulsa whipped Arkansas
40-7 in its last game and wound
up 427-32 for 10 games. In 1944
it was Army's wartime Blanch-ard-Davis
team that beat Navy
23-7 in its finale for a 504-35
total in nine games.
Strong Lines Credited
A .strong line has been, the
main factor in UCLA's success.
Just as it has in the case of the
other two major unbeatens,
Oklahoma and Ohio State.
The Sooners moved into the
No. 1 spot in rushing defense
this week with' 73.6 yards a
game allowed, while UCLA mov
ed up to second with 81.8. Ohio
State is seventh with 109.9.
Oklahoma is shooting for an
even bigger distinction . than
UCLA however. It already has
three rushing defense crowns
from 1938, 1946 and 1949. If it
wins another, it will become
the first team ever to take four
statistical titles in ' any depart
ment. "- '
Navy, meanwhile, went about
making its "natural" meeting
with Army even more natural
by moving back to first place in
total yardage defense and to
third in ground defense. Holding
Columbia , to 143 rushing-and-
passing yards, the Middies low
ered their average-per-garae al
lowance to 168.9 for a slight
lead over Richmond's 170.8. On
the ground Navy has yielded
82.3. Army is the No. 1 team in
total and rushing offense, so it
will be strictly a case of the best
facing the best at Philadelphia
Nov. 27. ,
'Tide' Loses Defense Lead '
Alabama, last week's total de
fense leader, was knocked down
to fifth by Georgia Tech, but it
kept first place in pass defense.
The. Tide has given up only 42
yards . a game to passing, and
has let the opposition complete
only 31.4 per cent of its at
tempts. Only Boston College,
with 29.1 per cent, has a lower
enemy completion percentage." ,
, Mississippi, which, ranks
fourth in total and ground de
fense, is second only to UCLA
in allowing points. It has given
up 47 in nine games or 5.2 a
game. . Alabama, scoreless itself
for three straight weeks, has al
lowed only 5.9 a game, Mary
land 6, Richmond 6.5, Navy 6.6
and Oklahoma 6.9. .
Only three teams have been
getting 40 yards or more per
punt. New Mexico is the leader
with a 43.6-yard average, Penn
sylvania second with 41.2 and
Arkansas third with 40.4.
Wichita is the country's most
proficient team at running back
kicks. It's first in punt returns,
averagmg 24.8 yards a crack,
and third in kickoff returns with
27. The kickoff return leader is
Maryland, averaging 28.9 yards
