and don't tell anybody because
It's a secret, but he's got a vote
In Yogi Berra.
"Imagine," said the squat man
of the Yankees, ' one of the poll'
lical parties asked me to endorse
their candidate. But they don't
foo! old Yog. I'm not tellin' how
I vote.
"Beside," he added as an aft

Oregon State Beavers returned
to the practice field today to pre
pare for their intersectional con
test with Iowa this week end.
Coach Tommy Prothro. who
cave the Beavers a day off Mon
day, had high praise for his boys
despite their loss to USC Friday.
He said the sophomores turned
tn a good performance and ap
parently had shaken off the jit
ters that plagued them during
the season's opener against Mis-
souri.
Eugene U.PJ The Oregon
Ducks went through a full scrim
mage today in an attempt to iron
out the mistakes they made Sat
urday while eking out a 21-14
win over Idaho.
Coach Len Casanova warned
the Webfoots that if they make
the same mistakes against UCLA
this week end they probably
will lose the game. Ron Stover,
who broke his hand in two
places in the Idaho game, is a
doubtful starter for the UCLA
contest.
Player Loses
First Match
Forest Hills, N.Y. U.R) Tall,
19-year-old Mike Green of Miami
Beach, Fla , lost his first Davis
Cup start Monday, but nonethe
less he was the one the tennis
experts were talking about to
day.
Green was the only U.S. loser
as America finished its interzone
semi-final with Italy on the long
end of a 4-1 score. Happy-go-lucky
2-year-old Nicola Pietran
geli proved too experienced for
Green as he won, 3-6. 6-4, 6-3,
6-3, in Monday's first singles
match. In the second match Sam
my Giammalva of Houston, Tex.,
blasted through Orlando Sirola
In a battle of strong services,
12-10. 6-3, 6-2.
The United States, with Vic
Seixas and Ham Richardson do
ing the playing, had won the
first three matches to move the
U.S. into the interzone finals
against India in Australia in mid-
December.
That's the latest gem from
the perennial clown and good
humor man of the New York
Yankees. And, while his team
mates laugh at him and needle
him, they take no undue liber
ties with Yogi.
Because they all know that
this is the sparkplug of the ball
club the man who makes them
go.
A Deliberate Clown
They also know that Yogi
isn't, if you'll pardon plain
speaking, as dumb as he some
times sounds. Much of his clown
ing is deliberate and this is per
fectly obvious when you watch
the shrewd brown eyes under
the beetling black eye brows.
The answer is that Yogi has
never changed since he came
up to the Yankees. His is the
simple approach, like when he
first arrived and was Invited to
speak at a luncheon in a swanky
restaurant.
"Okay," said Yogi, "if my suit
gets back from the cleaners."
The day of the luncheon. Yogi
showed up in a battered old
pair of trousers hidden under
a raincoat buttoned to the chin.
"The suit didn't come back,"
was his explanation.
Yogi has more than one suit
these days, with a $50,000 a
year salary and a plush bowling
establishment which he and
Phil Rizzuto soon will open. But
at 31 and getting ready for his
eighth World Series, he's still
the easy-going and slightly
nervous type.
Nervous Before Series
Anybody who says he isn't
nervous before the start of the
World Series is full of bunk
Yogi said. "For the first couple
of pitches you can't hardly
breathe. After that, it get's all
right pretty quick."
Yogi's hands show surprising
ly little wear for the years he
has crouched behind the plate
for the Yankees.
The toughest pitcher I ever
caught was Allie Reynolds," he
recalls. "He'd break an awful
lot . of curves into the dirt and
that's the toughest pitch to han
die. Vic Raschi could be hard
to handle at times but I guess
the toughest now is Tom Sturdi-
vant, because he throws
knuckler. After the knuckler
the toughest pitch, I guess, is
the sinker ball."
Yogi s biggest thrill was "ev
ery time I won the most valu
able player award." That's three
of them.
