Ohio State Rated as Best Bet in Big 10 (This is another dispatch on college football pros pects.) By ED SAINSBURY Chicaen -rt.?D- Ohio Stat 1957 national colle? foothall champion, looks like the best bet to grab its second straight Big Ten title this season but should get a serious challenge from Wisconsin. Ohio State lost four guards and one end from its 1957 team, and coach Woody Hayes can start the same backfieid he used most of last season including hi3 terrific fullback Bob White. He has Dlentv of tackles particularly if junior Jim Marshall, an all - conference player as a sophomore last year, regains his eligibility as expected; good ends, and hope at center. Where the Buckeyes may be lacking, however, is in backfieid depth. If Don Clark's siege of injuries re turns, Hayes won't have nearly as capable a replace ment, and quarterbacking be hind Frank Kremblas is un certain. Badgers Are Loaded Wisconsin was a sophomore eleven last year and lost only two men, guard Perry Gehler and halfback Danny Lewis. Coach Milt Bruhn has switch ed quarterback Sid Williams to halfback and will use Dale Hackbart to call signals. This combination will give him speed and running abili ty plus what might be the best pass defense combination in the conference. And he'll have plenty of size, speed and added experience up front. Last year the Buckeyes nudged the Badgers by only thre Doints. 16-13. and right now their meeting shapes up as close again. The league title could be decided by their 'game at Columbus Oct. 25. Ohio State gets a schedule break, however. It doesn't Dlav Michigan State and its tough games, Illinois, Wiscon sin and Purdue, are separated by contests with Indiana and Northwestern, second d i v i sion clubs, to give Hayes time to regroup. Wisconsin, on the other hand, tangles with Purdue, Iowa, Ohio State and Michi gan State in order to face a murderer's row. Not Good Enough IVilcnigan siaie wuuiu " been a more solid contender except for the loss of half back Blanche Martin by in jury. Now Duffy Daugherty has to find some halfback strength as well as pick out a quarterback who'll try to re place Jim Ninowski and a fullback to take over for Walt Kowalczyk. SpOrt "V OSCAR FRALEY Parade JjS 52-E: New York-ttJPD-The World Series has developed into a crusade today for the New York Yankees, who have wrapped up their ninth pen nant in the last 10 years. You have to go back a year to understand why. And back, too, through the years which have made the Yankees a baseball legend. Then the final ingredient is a fellow named Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves. Much has been written about the pride of the Yan kees. Rightly so, because it is an almost tangible thing based on a history of class and superiority. This is not to say the other teams in baseball don't have their pride. But with the Yankees it is something spec ial. No other club has won as many pennants or as many world championships. No other club has produced so many super stars. Yankees Can't Forget They can deny it, those other teams. But deep down they, too, believe that when a player puts on the white, pin-striped flannels of the Yankees it works a strange alchemy within him. They'll say it isn't so, but that uni form somehow makes him a better ball player. Sure, the Yankees have been beaten. But nobody ever did it the way Burdette did last year. He flattened them three times in the Series - the only man ever to turn that trick and two of those de feats were shutouts.

Football The Spartans will be touch. with good depth, but prob ably not good enough for more than third place. Illinois and Purdue rank as darkhorse threats. The Boil ermakers won five of their last six games last year and Jack Mollenkopf's tentative two-deep has only one minor letter winner, the rest regu lars. Purdue will have a solid big line with speed, fair passing, and good backfieid speed. But fullback could be a problem and halfbacks are small. Line Is Big The Illini will have the big gest line in Ray Eliot's ten ure and will be stronger on defense, less impressive on offense. Eliot lost both his halfbacks, Bob Mitchell and Dale Smith, and his reserves aren't up to their standard. Also his prime quarterback, Tom Haller, signed a pro base ball contract to leave him the problem of finding someone to take over. Michigan and Iowa won't be as strong as last year. The Hawkeyes lost their best line men and even though Forest Evashevski has nine lettermen backs, including quarter back Randy Duncan, he'll lack depth up front and the blocking won't be as potent. Michigan's Bennie Ooster baan must develop interior linemen, find a quarterbsck and develop a tailback, and the potential for the usual Wolverine powerhouse isn't too high. Lack To Much Northwestern, Indiana and Minnesota look like the bot tom rung of the ladder. The Wildcats' Ara Parseghian ex pects improvement, but he expects to go with one of two sophomore quarterbacks and he'll need depth at nearly every position. Indiana's Phil Dickens, suspended last year, also ex pects a better team, even though it might not win a game. His linemen should be improved and experience overall should help. Minneso ta will be big but slow and Murray Warmath needs backs badly. Notre Dame has virtually the same roster as a year ago when it won seven and lost three, but Terry Brennan be lieves a 5-5 season for 19o8 would be good. He lacks line speed, has no breakaway back and doesn't believe he has enough depth to grind out vic tories. But AU-Amencan AI Ecuyer should be a standout lineman again and Nick Piet- rosante at fullback and Bob Williams at quarterback might carry the Irish a long way. Nor can the Yankees forget this same Burdette was a guy they traded away back in 1951 when they were shooting for another pennant and another World Series. He was just one of their minor leaguers then and they swap ped him off to these same Braves then residing in Bos ton for a fellow named Johnny Sain. Gunning For Lew Burdette didn't even give them the recognition of a re venge motive. "I like to beat anybody," drawled the man from Nitro, W. Va. "I like to beat 'em so much that I hardly even see the letters on their uni forms." To the Yankees, when you overlook those big letters on their flannels, it is the insult supreme. And today, as they look ahead to another shot at the Braves and Burdette the lean man with the cold blue eyes is their favorite subject. Burdette against that Yan kee pride should make it quite a Series.

Rogue River Winner in Grid Fray Rogue Rjver- Rogue River High chalked up its first foot ball victory in three seasons Fridav night by tipping Oak land here 13 to 7. ,A blocked punt by Tiger Bowen set up the winning tnnrhdown drive from the 40- yard line in the fourth quar ter. Paul Archer went tne last yard. Oakland tallied first in the game with Del Copeland con necting with Alton Clark on a nass nlav of about 50 yards in the opening period. A jump pass got the extra point. Roeue River came back in the second stanza. Archer passed to Richard Olympius for 19 yards and a touchdown. Then Archer ran the extra. The two clubs came out even with 146 net yards gained each. Jon Bigman of Rogue River was standout player of the night, running well at iuii back and getting in on 50 per cent of the tackles from his linebacker spot. Play of Terry Gail, center and line backer also pleased Coach Charles Peil and he was also quite happy with the play of the Chieftains offensive line. Peil described the RR team as "ragged but not sloppy" in its starter. Jackson Billed To Fight Vick Sherbrooke, Que.-TOPD-Tom-my (Hurricane) Jackson, fighting despite the opposi tion on medical grounds of the National Boxing associa tion, is favored to down fel low New Yorker Johnny Vick in a heavyweight bout at the Sherbroke arena tonight.

Stahley May Field One Of His Best Vandal Clubs (This is another in a se ries on the outlook of West Coast football teams for the 1958 season.) By RUSS NIELSEN Moscow, Idaho-(UPD-The Ida ho Vandals haven't been push overs since Skip Stahley be came coach a few years ago, and the genial mentor is con fident this year's crew may be one of his best. His team broke even in the win-loss column last year and was heralded as the best in 20 years. His first-string line was perhaps as good as any in the Pacific Coast confer ence. The best men of that line were graduated. So were his best backs, including the vital quarterbacks. But Stahley be lieves he has enough depth this year to make up for the loss of some stars. Depth has always been a problem at Vandalville, but there is more manpower available this year than usual. Limited PCC Sked Idaho plays only three members of the PCC, includ ing an opening date with Ore gon Sept. 20. Stahley has been working on a balanced air- ground attack which has look ed surprisingly good. The Vandals appear tough est at the end and tackle slots. The starting ends probably will be Wade Patterson, a 220-pounder and Bud Dowl- ing, 190. Both are veterans. Pete Johnson, 220, and Jim Prestel, 255, are lettermen tackles and probably will start. The best guards are Dale Hill, 215, and Dave Andress, 195. John Roussos, 205, and Stan Fanning, 215, are battling for the center berth. This makes up one of the biggest lines in the confer ence. Reserve strength is available in numbers but the quality is uncertain. No Veteran Quarterback Stahley's biggest headache is the quarterback spot which was hit hard by graduation. Juniors Gary Farnworth and Bob Eyler have been battling for the starting nod and both will see much action this sea son. Farnworth seems to be a better signal caller and ball handler. Both are fair passers. Veteran Ken Hall will share the fullback position with Dick Pickett, who has SUFFERS CRACKED RIBS Cincinnati fUPD Third base man Don Hoak will be lost to the Cincinnati Redlegs for the remainder of the season. X-rays disclosed he is suffer ing from three cracked ribs as a result of a collision with teammate Roy McMillan on Aug. 10.

Quarterbacks, Defensive Line Lion Strong Points (This is another dispatch on the 1958 prospects of Na tional Football league teams.) By JACK BERRY Detroit -(UPD Can football's "Gay Gashouse Gang" with a secondary a year older and a step slower, and a squad that never was considered the best in the division, retain its National league title in a cir cuit where there aren't any breathers? That's the question that faces the champion Detroit Lions this fall. That and oth ers. The Lion story last year was something from a Holly wood serial or a pulp maga zine.' Last-half and last-minute victories formed the pattern that took a team called "un coachable" in August to a first-place Western division tie in December. Then came a comeback triumph in the playoff against the San Fran cisco Forty Niners and a lop sided 59-14 decision over the proud Cleveland Browns for the NFL crown. Schmidt Sparks Defense Detroit's strong points are a defensive line headed by Captain Joe Schmidt, the league's best linebacker, and an offense paced by veteran quarterbacks Bobby Layne and Tobin Rote. The weak points are the of fensive line, a shortage of of fensive ends, lack of a break away ball carrier and the de fensive secondary that once was the best in the NFL. Back with the 26-year-old Schmidt are veteran lineback ers Roger Zatkoff and Bog Long and on the four-man de fensive line are Darris Mc Cord, Gene Cronin, Gil Mains and Bob Miller, with Gerry Lowes? S i -tl. I Perry and Jim Martin capa ble replacements. The coach es rate McCord . one of the finest defensive ends in pro ball. On pre-season performances end Jim Doran appears head ed for his finest season and the Lions have two other sparkling receivers in Dave Middleton and Steve Junker. But so far, the pass catching talent ends there. Jerry Reich ow was injured in the All Star game and will miss the first few weeks of the season. Cassady to Shag Passes It appears certain Howard (Hopalong) Cassady again will be used more as a receiver than a runner. Danny Lewis of Wisconsin is the top backfieid prospect along with Ken Webb of Pres byterian. Both are strong run ners. Bill Glass, offensive center and No. 1 draft choice two years ago, and Ail-American tackle Alex Karras, No. 1 choice last year, are almost certain to make the club with linebacker Wayne Walker of Idaho in contention. The offensive line has given Rote and Layne little protec tion in exhibition games and both were rushed constantly in the All-Star game, when Detroit took a 35-19 whipping. Several of the veteran de fensive backs will have to struggle to hold their jobs against the threats of rookie Dave Whitsell of Indiana, second-year man Terry Barr and Gary Lowe, who is going into his third season. The opposition found it less difficult to complete passes against Jack Christiansen, Jim David, Yale Lary and Carl Karilivacz last season and by the time the season was over, Barr won a regular spot. 111 1 (.ZrSm.
