Ford Shaky
During 1st
: 2 Frames
By RUDY CERHKOVIC
! Pittsburgh-flM t "What was
' that score?" This question was
. : tossed by a perspiring Whitey
:Ford after his second shutout
lover the Pittsburgh Pirates in
; the World Series.
"It was 12-0 and are yon
: kidding?" a writer replied.
: "Klnda lost .count out
: there,!' said Ford pushing his
;cap back on his head. .
"That shutout was a little
tougher than the one I had
: Saturday at Yankee Stadl
;um," he said. "It took us long
er to get the' runs today."
Ford, whose seven-hit shut
lout evened the series at 3-all,
.'admitted he was shaky in the
first two innings. ; , -
"They were hitting the ball
. on the ground. That s the kind
lof pitches I must make
'make 'em hit on the ground
But in this infield the ball
Igoes through like lightning.'
:Some Doubts
Ford said he had some
doubts about the third Inning
when his fingers were burn
ing. .
; - "I was afraid a blister was
; developing, he said. So I
.took one finger off the seam
!and that relieved the pres
sure a bit. Course it had some
effect my fast ball wasn't as
good as I wanted it and the
curve came a bit tougher."
: Ford said he never knew
definitely that he would pitch
the six game Wednesday until
11 o clock in the morning.
"Case just come up' and said
'Here's the lineup.1 I saw
' my name.' In my mind last
. night I kinda thought I would
pitch, though." ............
' Whitey reflected a second
when someone asked if this
was the most satisfying vic
tory in his baseball career.
"It will be If we win the
Series Thursday," he said.

Stengel Resignation Question
Hangs Heavy Over Forbes Park
By LEO PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Pittsburgh - IUPD - The ques
tion whether 70-year-old Casey
Stengel, who led the New
York Yankees to 10 American
league pennants in the .last
12 years, will resign hung al
most as heavy over Forbes
Field at' starting time today
as whether the Pittsburgh
Pirates or the Yankees would
win the decisive game of one
of the most unusual World
Series ever played.
And right , down to what
could be his final game, the
master manipulator held off
the announcement of his start
ing pitcher until the last min
ute, when he named Bob Tur-
Iey. Manager Danny Mur-
taugh, on the other hand,
made it definite that 20-game
winner Vern Law, who has
won two Series games with
relief aid from clutch-reliev
er Elroy Face, would be on
the firing line for the Pirates.
Eagle Point
Juggles for
IV Cougars
'' Eagle Point - Eagle Point
high Coach Vern Steward has
made a number of line-up
changes and has had his foot
ball : club working on defens
ive alignments and offensive
polish in preparation for a
Rogue league game with Illi
nois Valley.
The teams meet at 8 p.m.
Friday at Eagle Point. . f
The Eagles (2-0) are tied
with Phoenix for the loop
lead. IV (0-2) shares the cel
lar with 'Rogue River.
Over - confidence is a fear
here on the part of the
Eagles. IV, fell 25 to 0 Hen
ley last Saturday. But there's
feeling the Cougars might
have licked the over-confident
Hornets with a few breaks,
Eagle Point this week will
be without the services of
regular tailback, Steve Geren.
He is attending a Future
Farmers conference in Kansas.
Tom Perdue has been shifted
from quarter to tailback be
cause of his speed and passing
ability. Gary Ayres, 190
senior lineman and one of the
fastest players on the squad,
has drawn the quarterback
assignment.
Center Support
BUI Skeetcrs, outstanding
against Glendale last week,
will be at fullback. At wing
back will be Mike Palm who
has averaged 6.8 yards per
carry in the league and who
intercepted two Glendale
passes.
Coach Steward has been
trying to find support for Bill
Ayres, freshman, and John
Lindcr, sophomore, at center.
He's been working senior
tackles Marvin Cothrln and
Don Pestk athere. Ayres or
Pestka will be the Friday
starter at the pivot. Ends may
be Charles Pomcroy and Ron
Weldman and tackles Ray
Petersen and Cothrin. Dick
Wilson has been shifted from
end to guard because he is
one of the team's best block
ers. He and Roy Moore will
be interior line starters.
Returning to action this
week along with Gary Ayres
is Dick Hcrtager, small in
size but strong on defense.
Steward noted the improve
ment of Dick Ayres, 225,
junior tackle, and cited the
defensive work of Gary Stele
against Glendale. ' .
Milwaukee -IUPD Catcher
Stan Lopata has been given
his unconditional release by
the Milwaukee Braves it was
announced today by General
Manager Johnny McHale. Lo
pata, 35, a native of Dclray
Mich., started in the majors
with the Phillies in 1948 and
was with them except for one
year in the minors until 1058
when he was traded to the

Casey didn't say this would
be his last day on the job
after Wednesday's 12-0 Series-

writers asking him not to re
sign "in the interests of the

St. Mary's
Primes for
Panthers
St, Mary's High of Medford
facing its toughest foe yet
this season In its District 5B
title, defense, has added new
Wing T plays this week to
its basic multiple offense.
. The Crusaders are groom
ing their attack for a scuffle
with the strong Chiloquin
Panthers. This Friday night
brush will be at 8 p.m. in
Gem stadium at Klamath
Falls.
Medford's parochial School
aggregation also is drilling on
new defense aimed at stop
ping a power Panther single
wing offense. Chiloquin has
reported good speed with
backs Benny Nygren, Mike
Ochoa and Al DeBortoll and
a fine pass receiver in 6-3
end Paul Harris. Line stal
warts include Frank Hedlund,
Frank Hoback, Harold Old
aker and Ed Case. Johnny
Jackson is a standout defen
sive back.
Chiloquii last week end
won 19 to 0 from Sacred
Heart of- Klamath. Falls,' a
team, which St. Mary's down
ed 26 to 6. The Panthers did
all their scoring against SH
in the first half. To beat the
Trojans, SM had to break a
8-all second half deadlock.
Should Be Ready
Said Chiloquin coach Gor
don Kuist after the Sacred
Heart tangle, "We played a
bang-up game. I think we'll
be ready for St. Mary's next
week end."
At St. Mary's, Coach Bill
McKlbbin reported some in
jury troubles. Joe Kaiser, de
fensive linebacker, was hit on
the head in the Tuielake game
last Friday and has had re
curring headaches this week.
It's doubtful whether he'll go
against the - Panthers. Don
Print may get the call.
Alex Mete, halfback, has a
stone bruise on his heel and
Aundre Knutson could see
duty in his spot End Dan
Jacobson is still troubled by
a bad ankle.

Klu Thinks
Pirates Err
In Pitching
By MILTON RICHMAN
- Pittsburgh -fllPD- The Pitts
burgh Pirates have been pitch
ing Bobby Richardson all
wrong:
V'ho says so?
Big Ted Kluszewski, who
-Lheld the old World Series rec
ord of 10 runs batted in joint
ly with Yogi Berra until Wed
nesday when Richardson
cracked the mark by boosting
his RBI total to 12 for the
current Series.
Don't get the idea Klu's
comments stem from sour
grapes. Ted isn't built that
way.
"More power to Richard
son," said the burly Chicago
White Sox first baseman, who
is doing post-game television
commentary on the Series
here. "Records are made to
be broken and I think the
little guy is making, one hell
uva showing.
"But I'm really surprised at
the way the Pirates are pitch
ing him. They're keeping the
ball up on him and in Chi
cago we never pitch him high.
High Fait Ball
"That homer he hit with
the bases full in the , third
game was on a high fast ball
that was in on him. And both
those triples he hit yesterday
were on high fast bails.
We keep the ball down on
him and away. Instead of fast
balls, we throw him breaking
balls."
Kluszewskl pointed out
that the surprising New York
Yankee second baseman has
been "the most natural hit
ter." as far as swinging at the
ball is concerned, in the en
tire Series.
"In a way that's not so hard
to understand," Klu , said.
The big names like Roger
Maris, Mickey Mantle, Yogi
Berra and Bill Skowron get
all the publicity and try their
hardest to live up to it.
But a little guy like Rich
ardson, who hit only one hom
er all season, doesn't get much
advance publicity and there
fore is more likely to play his
normal game."

to take charge of the quarter
backing duties along with
Gordy Carrigan who can now
be turned back to his end po
sition. Eldon Francis made a
surprise appearance last week
and appears to have recov

If Garner is unable to play,
it may be a big blow to the
Raider plans. Garner, an OCC
all - star, plays an offensive
guard spot and linebacker, on
defense. Mullanix has been
used mainly in. the. defensive
unit.
Four game, totals- in the

holds the rushing lead with
262 yards and a 6.1 play av

Even though Buck has not
