Ezzard Plans
Future Bouts
Despite Loss
Providence, R. I. (U.R)
Former heavyweight champion
Ezzard Charles, still cocky de
spite a split decision loss, said
today he planned to keep on
fighting.
Charles, seeking another crack
at the heavyweight title, lost
Monday night to Toxie Hall of
Chicago who once put down
champ Rocky Marciano during a
sparring drill.
"That bout didn't mean a
thing," Charles said. "It could
have gone either way."
Tom Tannas, manager of the
Cincinnati fighter, was confi
dent that Charles could weather
the loss.
Although the decision went
against the ex-champ, he looked
like a winner in the dressing
room after the bout. Hall left
the ring with one eye closed but
Charles climbed through the
ropes without a scratch.
Hall forced the fight in the
early rounds and rallied again
in the late moments of the 10-
rounder at Rhode Island Audi
torium to get the decision. There
were no knockdowns.
Hall rushed Charles from the
opening bell, surprising the Cin
cinnati battler with a savage at
tack. The former champion
looked slow in his attempts to
block a rain of lefts and rights.
Charles was staggered several
times by Hall's looping overhand
right hand punches.
Charles came back in the
fourth and fifth rounds but
lacked the steam, to carry the
fight through the closing periods.

Senators Have First Pick
In Player Draft Nov. 28
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) The Wash
ington Senators gave up their
best player when they included
Mickey Vernon in the recent
nine-player deal with the Boston
Red Sox, but can replace him for
a mere $10,000 on Nov. 28 when
they make first pick in the an
nual baseball draft.
Manager Charley Dressen
warned not to forget "we have
first pick in the draft" when the
deal was announced and it's dol
lars to doughnuts he meant the
Senators will attempt to make
up for the loss of Vernon by
drafting Glenn (Rocky) Nelson
from the Montreal Royals.
Nelson, who faile&in previous
trials with the St. Louis Cardi
nals, Brooklyn Dodgers and
Cleveland Indians, had a spec
tacular season in the Interna
tional League this year. He top
ped the circuit with a .364 aver
age, hit 37 homers and knocked
in 129 runs in 153 games, and
was voted the league's "Most
Valuable Player."
In any event, such intriguing
possibilities will make Colum
bus, O., the center of the base
ball world's attention when all
16 major league clubs "go bar
gain hunting" in two weeks.
Former major leaguers re
leased outright to the minors and
players who have been in triple
and double A classifications four
years without receiving a big
league trial are eligible to be
drafted and this year the list
includes an unusually large
number of well-known names.
They include such former ma
jor league stars as outfielder
Monte Irvin, slugger Luke
Easter and pitcher Gene Bear-den.
Wintry Blast Hits
Midwestern States
By UNITED PRESS
A fast-charging wintry storm
hit the Midwest today and the
Weather Bureau posted warn
ings of zero cold, heavy snows,
and possible tornadoes.
The storm skipped across the
Central Rockies and raced
across the Great Plains to west
ern Kansas and Nebraska.
The Kansas City, Mo., weath
er bureau issued a warning of
locally severe thunderstorms
and possibly one or two torna
does 50 miles on either side of
a line stretching from Spring
field, Mo., to Cedar Rapids, la.
Icy winds mounted to from
30 to 40 miles per hour and tem
peratures took a nosedive. Salt
Lake City got six inches of snow
and elsewhere in the snow area
the fresh snow cover ranged
from one to three inches.

Pacific Coast League players
can be drafted for $15,000, triple
A players for $10,000, double A
players for $7,500 and "so on
down to $2,000 for a class D
player. It's rare when a big
league club dips below the triple
A leagues for a player.
Pirates Second Choice
The Pittsburgh Pirates have
second choice in this year's draft
by virtue of their eighth-place
finish in the National League
and then theBaltimore Orioles
are next in line. The selection
continues with the world cham
pion Dodgers having the 16th
choice, whereupon the process
is repeated, beginning with the
Senators' second choice.
Some of the choices could be
mighty ironical. The Pirates,' for
example, could obtain a fellow
named Paul Pettit for $15,000
while the Cleveland Indians
could acquire, a chap named
Billy Joe Davidson for $10,000.
Both teams shelled out $100,
000 in bonus money a few years
back to take a first look at the
pair.

Sports Writer
New York (U.R) You can't
blame Eddie Erdelatz, the Navy
football coach, for trying to get
all the acclaim possible for his
Georgie Welsh by calling him
the best quarterback in the land,
but you can suspect his choice
of Columbia's Claude Benham of
Columbia's Claude Benham over
Notre Dame's Paul Hornung.
"Benham is the best quarter
back we have faced all season,"
Erdelatz asserted after his Mid
dies snowed under the tattered
Columbia Lions, 47-0. Yet Eddie
was hard put to back up his
reasoning.
"If you want to face facts, it's
simply a tactical maneuver aim
ed at getting All-America recog
nition for Welsh.
Navy lost to Notre Dame, 21
to 7, at a time when Welsh was
winging along out front in the
race for A-A honors. After the
Middies were torpedoed, Horn
ung took over the lead. This
diversionary action, you might
assume, would let the palpitating
voters know that Hornung was
not even as good as Benham,
who wasn't as good as Welsh.
Asked to compare Benham and
Hornung, Erdelatz was a master
broken field runner.
Lacked Big Line
"I don't want to cut any one
man down," he explained. "But
Benham didn't have a big line
in front of him and, although he
was rushed, he passed well and
handled the team nicely."
He also made some reference
to "a 190-pounder who hands off
to another 190-ponder, who in
turn runs behind a line that av
erages from 205 to 215 pounds."
"There are two differnt type
of quarterback," Erdelatz assert
ed. "Comparisons are difficult.
But I do know that when they
compare coaches, they say, 'how
many did 'he win'?"
So, if that be the case, Horn
ung must not be third best.
Columbia has lost seven
games and won one. Navy has
won five, lost one and tied one.
Notre Dame has won seven and
lost one.
Benham is the nation's lead
ing passer. The five-foot, nine
inch pitcher from Portsmouth,
Va., has completed 87 of 180 for
978 yards and seven touchdowns.
Welsh, the Coaldale, Pa., chuck
er, who is roughly the same size,
has completed 76 of 122 for
eight touchdowns.
There is a saying that a pass
ing team is not a winning team,
which Hornung, using the air
as an adjunct, still has done all
right. He has completed 30 of
71 for 376 yards and seven
touchdowns.
Pro Quarterback
Erdelatz made a point of the
fact that "I don't know what
the pros look for in a quarter
back." Jim Lee Howell of the
New York Giants told him.
'.'We want the biggest, strong
est thrower and runner who can
handle the ball."
Using that as a yardstick, you
can't put Hornung below Ben
ham at least. Louisville Paul is
six feet, two inches and weighs
205 pounds. Nobody can fault
his ball handling, or the pitching
he finds necessary to spread the
defense.
He also has carried the ball
75 times'for 343 yards. Com
pare that with Welsh's 49 car
ries for 20 yards and Benham's
58 carries for minus one yard.
Benham is victimized, to a cer
tain" extent, because he gets a
running subtraction when he is
snowed under passing, and that
happens a lot. But as an all
around operative, it is difficult
to concede Benham an edge.
All of which simmers down
to an All-American pitch for
Welsh.

A good place to work
What makes a company a good place to work?
There are, of course, the obvious things: good
working conditions and good pay; retirement,
health and welfare, and life insurance programs;
job security and opportur " d vancement in a
growing organization.
At CF, we have all of these, and something more
something very important to us.
It's the satisfaction we get when we bring you,
day after day, the great variety of things you need
everything from cosmetics and candy to tools
and tractors.
To be of service to so many people in the com
munities in which we ourselves work and live, is
one of the big reasons why we like our jobs.
