lew Burdette Success Should
Give Stengel Sinking Feeling
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press International
Some time today, Casey
Stengel is going to sit down,
turn to the sports section and
get a sinking feeling when his
eyes light on that painful but
familiar phrase "Burdette
Wins again."
Stengel, an avid reader, will
quickly gloss over the fact
that Tuesday night's 4-1 vic
tory over San Francisco was
Lew Burdette's 18th of the
season and that the triumph
reduced the Milwaukee
Braves' pennant-cl inching
"magic number" to three.
What will really intrigue
the Yankee manager is that
Bur dette did not walk a single
man, never was in any real
trouble and would have
wound up with a shutout had
it not been for Bill White's
fift'b-inning homer.
' Stengel will have some more
feed for thought when he
It's Results Or
Else For Green Bav
EDITORS: This is the
sixth of 12 dispatches on
the 1958 prospects of Na
tional Football League
teams.
By RAY W. DOHERTY
United Press International
Green Bay, Wis. -ttJPD- It's
"results or else" for Ray Mc
Lean, the third Green Bay
Packer coach in 10 years.
Little "Scooter," one-time
backfield star of the awe
some Chicago Bears of the
early 1940s, has to show his
bosses in one year he can
eventually do what his two
Immediate predecessors
couldn't do in nine make
the Packers winners once
again in the National Foot
ball league.
The once powerful Packers
have finished in the NFL's
first division only once in the
past 14 years.
McLean got only a one-year
contract last January with the
stipulation that it would
be torn up if the Packers
show improvement over the
3-9 record that left them last
in the Western Division last
. year.
McLean concedes he has
some good material, and that
the team "shows more all
round strength" than a year
ago. But he isn't making any
predictions.
Besides hiring McLean, the
Packers stayed here to train
to boost team morale and.
went shopping for talent
among other NFL teams and
in college ranks. They canve
up with the likes of tackle
J. D. Kimmel and end Len
Ford, sure to strengthen the
defense, slotback Steve MeiJ
inger for offensive punch and
rookie linebacker Dan Cur
rie, the former.Michigan State
star. ' f
Difficult Job
McLean said his most clif
ficult job was cutting his
squad. This is not to say the
. Packers are "loaded," but it
foes indicate that McLean had
y.ore talent available than
had been seen in training
camp in recent years.
He kept many of the vet
erans of past seasons.
His quarterbacks will be
the same two who worked -arid
not always adequately -last
year - Bart Starr and
B.-abe Parilli. Starr is usually
cansistant, but Parilli tends
to- have good and bad days.
His biggest .fault is not being
able to spot his receivers -something
McLean has tried
to correct.
Several good receivers are
available, headed by veterans
Fiilly Howton and Gary Kna
fjelc, and newcomer Max Mc
Gee. Making the Packers' run
ning game more potent has
'been one of McLean's main
concerns. He has altered the
offense slightly and changed
the blocking assignments to
get his offensive line function
ing more smoothly. A big
help here could be tackle For
rest Grett, a service returnee.
The Backfield
Behind that line, McLean
has Paul Hornung, the former
Notre Dame star who likes
carrying the ball; veteran
Howie Ferguson, whose
knees are finally healthy,
halfbacks Al Carmichael and
Don Mcllhenny.
McLean, himself only a
mite of a halfback when he
starred with the Bears, has
given little Jim Shanley, a
halfback from Oregon, a lot
of work in the hope he would
provide the Packers with a
runner uvho could turn enemy
flanks.
On defense, the Packers
seem adequate. Their line
backing could be the best in
the league. One threesome
which is fearsome .isthat.. of
Bill Forester, Tom Bettis and
Currie. In the secondary, is
one-eyed Bobby Dillon, the
captain and All-pro a year
ago. Joe Francis of Oregon
State's Rose Bowl eleven was
being tested along with two
or three others.
mulls over the 4-2 victory
Frank Lary of Detroit regis
tered against the Yankees
Tuesday.
Pitches Like Lew
Lary is practically a carbon
copy of Burdette, pitching to
spots and specializing in
breaking stuff. It marked the
Detroit right-hander's seventh
victory of the season over the
American League champs and
it was the first time any pitch
er beat the Yanks more than
six times in one year since Ed
Walsh posted a 9-1 record
against New York in 1908.
Lary limited the Yankees to
three hits in gaining his 16th
win of the season and boosting
his lifetime record over the
Bronx Bombers to 16-5. Gus
Zernial's two-run double off
Zack Monroe in the seventh
gave the Tigers the two runs
that brought them from be
hind and earned them their
11th victory over the Yankees
this season. That assures them
at least a tie in the season's
series, something that doesn't
sit too well with Casey, either.
Hurls His Pride
Just as a matter of pride,
Stengel says he likes to win
the season series from every
club in the league.
Elsewhere in the American
League, Cleveland climbed
into a fourth-place tie by beat
ing Washington, 5-1, behind
Gary Bell's two-hitter, while
Chicago took a 4-3 decision
from Baltimore. Rain washed
out a doubleheader between
Boston and Kansas City.
In the National league, the
Pittsburgh Pirates, who still
keep hoping, won the comple
tion of a suspended game from
the Cardinals, 2-1, and then
beat the Redbirds, 3-1, in a
regular scheduled contest.
Cincinnati swept a pair from
Los Angeles, 5-3 and 7-5 in 10
innings, while Chicago defeat
ed Philadelphia,, 10-8, in 10
innings.

Cactus Jack Curtice
Master With Needle
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press International
Stanford, Calif . -(UPD- "When
Jack Curtice, Stanford's new
football coach, walks ' the
quarter deck during practice
his Kentucky voice twangs
through the air like an ole
"gee-tar."
And Cactus Jack is a' mas
ter at using the needle, the
soft word or sharp bark de
pending upon how his charges
are playing.
His little speeches, all given
with, a cracker barrel flavor,
mixed with lots of aerial tac
tics which break out of his
"spread T" have helped him
post 33 wins, 10 losses and
two ties in Skyline Confer
ence during the eight years
he was at Utah.
The Curtice Needle came
out recently when a Stanford
end shied away from a pass
as the defender came up be
side him with a loud roar.
"Now what on , earth did
you do that for?" Curtice de
manded of the verbose one.
"Here we sent one ' of our
nicest, finest ends out for a
pass and you get the poor
boy so upset he can't catch it,"
The Curtice bark was heard
on another occasion when- a
punter anxiously looked for
his interference to 1'orm be
fore he kicked the ball.
Give 'Em the Businiss
"You've been doin' a good
job and now all of a sudden
you're watchin' the blockers!"
Curtice crackled. "They do
the blocking'. That's then
business. You kick .the ball. !
That's your business!"
Then the whole team will
get it at once, such, as when
the defense melts before a
touchdown drive.
"Gentleme n!" Curtice
shouts, shoving the red base
ball cap back on his head.
"Defense is one of the most
important aspects in foot
ball." How will he pan out as the
successor to Coach Chuck Tay
lor, who now i:s assistant
athletic director and was a
favorite with the squad and
student body?
"Jack is doing fine," one
university spokesman said.
"Several players have volun
tarily come up to me and said
that they like him."
Curtice came to Stanford
by way of West Texas State,
Texas Western and the Utes.
He was well set at Salt Lake
as a popular coach and tele
vision personality. Why give
it up?
"Because coaching at Stan
ford was a challenge I couldn't
turn down," Curtice declares.
New System
It's obvious that Taylor no
longer is coach because the
former Stanford guard ran
his men through much more
scrimmages, heavy contact
drills and usually ended a
day's practice with that "one
lap around the field" com
mand. Curtice goes easy on the
heavy stuff and stresses drills
among smaller units so he can
spot mistakes more easily. He
kept scrimmaging to a mini
mum when he coached the
West team to a 27-14 upset of
the East in the last Shrine
game.
- Just how this policy stands
up on the Coast will be.test-
ed next Saturday when the
Indians open against Wash
ington State at Spokane. Oth
er lid lifters include: College
of Pacific at California, Idaho
at Oregon, San Jose State
at Washington and UCLA at
Pittsburgh. Oregon State
opens at Southern California
Friday night.

Portland, Ore. UPD Gas
par Ortega and Don Jordan,
a pair of welterweights with
their eyes on different titles,
clash here tonight in a na
tionally televised 10 - round
bout from the Portland ar
mory. Ortega is a slight favor
ite. Ortega, 23, will be seeking

and hopes for a title fight
with welterweight king Virgil
Akins. Ortega's over-all re
cord is 48 wins, two draws
and 11 defeats.
Jordan, who has yet to be
knocked out, hopes his box
ing style will be enough to
overcome Ortega's power. Ex

ponent, Jordan says his am
bition lies in the lightweight
ranks. . .

Black Tornado Tuning Up For Scuffle With Scots
Defense against a single hassle were begun Monday
wing attack is getting atten
tion this week as the Med
ford High football squad
tunes for its Friday night con
flict with the David Douglas
Scots.
The game will be on the
field of David Douglas which
is on 130th ave. between Stark
and Division sts., two miles
east of the Portland city
limits.
The Black Tornado aggre
gation faced a single heavy
workout today and a lighter
drill on Thursday. It will
leave Friday morning for the
contest. Head Coach Fred
Spiegelberg reported that 36
players would make the trip.
Preparations for the Scot
morning. The squad gathered
for a chalk talk and to see
pictures of last Friday's game
with North Salem and last
year's tussle with David
Douglas. A regular workout
was held in the afternoon.
Special drill was conducted
yesterday morning with a full
squad practice in the after
noon. Scots Have Large School -
The Tornado came out of
the North Salem brush with
out any serious injury. How
ever, the flu bug caught up
with quarterback Bob Pond
and end Jerry Winetrout. End
Pete Rasmussen appears to be
recuperating -well from the
knee re-injury he suffered in
pre-season practice and should
see more duty against the
Scots than he had against the
Vikings.
Starting its fifth year of
operation, David Douglas is
not too well known yet ath
letically throughout the state.
But the school is larger than
Medford High. Enrollment is
up around 1,800, including
the freshman class. This is
only the third year of varsity
contention for the Scots who
vie in the tough Metropolitan
league.
The school came about from
consolidation of three grade
school districts, Russellville,
Powelhurst and Gilbert. It is
named for the famed Scottish
botanist who classified plant
life of the Northwest.
David Douglas reportedly
has around a docen lettennen
from 1957, with about one
letterman at each position.
However, four have been out
because of injuries and the
Scots are a bit shy on depth.
Some of the injured may be
back in harness for the Med
ford ruckus.
Big gun of the offense is
left halfback Jerry Fellows,
175-pound, 6-foot 3-year letter
man. Fullback Orval Horsey
also showed up as a threat
last week end when David
Douglas whipped Reynolds
19 to 0.

U.S. currency is the $10,000
