Johnny Podres Out
May. Plague Pitching Effectiveness
By DAVID M. MOFFITT
Norfolk, Va. (U.R) Lefty
Johnny Podres was out of the
Navy Saturday, medically dis
charged because of the same
back injury he had when he was
inducted, and which had plagued
him throughout his pitching ca
reer wit the Brooklyn Dodgers
In fact, E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi,
general manager of the Dodgers,
said in Brooklyn he was con
cerned over whether Podres
could regain his pitching effect
iveness.
Plenty of Trouble
"All I can hope now is that
his back is not in any worse
shape than it was when he left
us to go into the service," Ba
vasi said. Because he always
had plenty of trouble with it.'
Podres, who pitched the Dodg
ers to their one and only world
championship against the Yan
kees in 1955 with 8-3 and 2-0
victories, received his medical
discharge after a three-man med
ical survey board at the Ports
mouth Naval hospital ruled to
release him Friday afternoon.
Not Heard From
Podres disappeared quickly
after being released and was
out of contact with friends at
this vast naval base. Dodger of
ficials said they had not heard
from him and his parents at
Witherbee, N. Y., said they had
not even heard that he had been
discharged.
A spokesman at the hospital
described Podres' chronic condi
tion as a "spondylolisthesis
sympton" which was not likely
to affect his pitching

code infractions, intercepted
two of Brodie's passes during
the first half to set up touch
down marches of 37 and 42
yards.
But Brodie, with his club trail
ing 13-0, pulled it together and
shot the Indians ahead for the

sandwiched a scoring smash by
himself from a yard out.

guided Pittsburgh on an 80-yard
scoring drive and then passed
nine yards for a touchdown Sat

Pressure
Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) injected into
the soil under pressure spreads out laterally
from the shank. The NH3 forms a tear
shaped pattern. The placement area is
10-20 times larger than with other kinds
of fertilizers. Young plants with limited
root systems start feeding easily from
this big nitrogen area and keep feeding
throughout the entire growing period.
Crops get maximum benefit from ni
trogen injected the Shell way under
pressure. That's one reason why Shell
NH3 is your SURE way to fertilize

Lions Slim
Grid Choice
By UNITED PRESS
The Detroit Lions are slim,
halfpoint favorites to defeat the
Earns at Los Angeles today in
what shapes up as the top clash
cn the six-game National Foot
ball league card.
Detroit leads the Western Di
vision with a 4-0 record but

hold on first place. Los Angeles,
defending division champion,

tance of the leaders.
The Chicago Bears are on the
west Coast with Detroit for two
contests with the pro circuit's
California clubs and are eight-
point choices to down the Forty-
Niners at San Francisco. The
Bears are second in the Western
race with a 3-1 record while
the Forty-Niners have a 1-3
mark.

Bay Packers are 2V4 point choic
es over the Colts at Baltimore;

speedy backs had set up the
scores.
The first score of the game
went to UCLA as Barry Billing
ton battered through the left
side of the Beaver line from 11
yards out with 1:37 left in the
first period. UCLA never threat
ened after that.
Rain Threatens
A crowd of 17,000 homecom
ing fans braved threatening
weather in the opei stands of
Parker stadium to witness the
contest. Rain held off until
early in the fourth quarter and
then began falling on already
soggy field.
Prothro sent in a complete
new team late in the third
period and the fresh troops im
mediately ground out the third
Beaver touchdown.
Both teams stuck to the
ground throughout the game and
seldom took to the air. How
ever, a 22-yard aerial from Paul
Lowe to Bob Degrant in the
final seconds of the first period
set up the first Oregon State
touchdown.
The win was the first for Ore
gon State over the Bruins since
1948 and also marked the first
time that the Beavers have been
able to score on UCLA since
1950.
UCLA could not muster a
serious drive after its initial
penetration in the first period.
The Oregon State line, outcharg
ing UCLA, broke through con
tinually to throw Bruin backs
for losses that bogged down any
drive before it could get off the
ground.
Lowe and Earnel Durden, the
fastest men on the field, con
tinually swept around the Bruin
defense while Berry worked on
the middle.
Durden streaked through the
left side of the UCLA line late
in the first period and raced
from his own 25 to the Bruin
24 where the last man between
him and the goal line finally
stopped him as the quarter gun
sounded. It took only three
plays, one of them Lowe's pass
to Degrant to get the equaliz
ing touchdown.
Buzz Randall recovered a
UCLA fumble midway through
the second quarter and 18 plays
later Oregon State had its
second touchdown after covering
58 yards. Lowe chopped con
