He went high in the air for an Alley Oop touchdown pass in the waning fcconds of the first half and landed on his shoulder. Owens was carried from the field at the time but continued to play in the second half and scored the winning touchdown on a lateral from teammate Dee Mackey in the closing seconds.

(UPI Telephoto) Baseball Heads Eye Formula To Clean Up Expansion ess By STEVE SNIDER New York -WD- Commis sioner Ford Frick and league presidents Warren Giles and Joe Cronin met in an atmo sphere of hope today to try to clean up the moss of base ball's expansion problems. The odds are that the "big three" will agree on a formula but the hitch is that their decisions will have to be re turned for action by the two major leagues at their annual meeting in St. Louis beginning next Monday. '. "I think we're nearing an accord on a package we can take back to the major league meetings that'll be the rule of procedure not only for 1961 and 1902 but for years to come," said Frick, sounding the optimistic keynote. "These people are now getting serious and I think we can make some important decisions." Interleague Dead (' The American league sched ule with a nine-team National league-apparently is dead. It was killed off, insiders say, by the refusal of National ldague owners to follow Giles' lead in accepting the plan. The American league said refusal by the NL of the inter league nine -team concept would mean they would charge ahead toward operat ing with a 10-team circuit in 1961 while the NL waits until 1862 to add New York and Houston. Stil Ho be worked out, how ever, is how the American league can move into Los An geles to round out its 10-team circuit without obtaining the Just 1 a little ,.r too big I lP for her t E'f Christmas stocking fjf Hi I v " v. els, h i- -3 . . .but still the best-size car you can buy!

Mississippi's Howard Vaught Coach of Week By N. JOHN GARCIA Oxford, Miss. - (DPI) - John Howard Vaught lives on farm, is a deacon in the Bap tist church and peremally turns out one of America's finest collegiate football teams. Vaugnt is not what one would call verbally colorful, but what he manuractures on the football field each year is the product of his coaching wizardry. 'For his team's performance last Saturday in polishing off arch rival Mississippi State, 35-9, Vaught has been chosen college football's "Coach of the Week" by United Press In ternational. The -win capped the Sugar Bowl bound Rebels' finest year in history with a 9-0 rec ord and the distinction of be ing the only unbeaten team in the top ten. For the Rebels, it will be their second straight appear ance in the New Orleans classic. Last year they defeat ed LSU, 21-0. Vaught, leathery faced at 52, has enjoyed 12 winning seasons while coming out on the short end once and break ing even once. This year he celebrated his 100th regular season victory. His 14 year record of 102 wins, 27 losses and 7 ties is second only to the amazing record compiled by Bud Wilkinson of Okla homa. In seven, bowl appear ances, his teams have won five times. Trade Machinery otion By MILTON RICHMAN Louisville -(UPI)- The world champion Pittsburgh Pirates are "ready to trade," and so apparently are a number of other baseball men who dis cussed such names today as Ryne Duren, Joe Cunning- Minor Leaguers Reject Offer By Cal Griffith Louisville, Ky. IUPII Cal Griffith and the American association were only about $1.5-million apart today. In an effort to settle the indemnities - hassle with the association, Griffith increased his offer, Tuesday from $50, 000 to $90,000. But President Jim Burris and his club-owners said no dice. The minor leaguers feel they should receive indemni ties amounting to $200,000 for each of the seven clubs and another $200,000 for the league. This is what they be lieve they have coming to them for the Minnesota Twins invasion of the Minne-apolis-St. Paul territory. They flatly rejected Grif fith's latest offer following a two-hour meeting. "It's up to Calvin now," said owner Joe Burke of the Louisville club. "He'll have to come to us if he wants to talk any more." If Griffith and the league cannot reach an agreement, the matter will be turned over to a baseball arbitration board. Alston Signs 1961 Contract Louisville. Ky.-iffll-Back in 1954 the Brooklyn Dodgers appointed one Walter Alston as their new manager, and the widesnread reaction was "who's he?" A look at the record books showed that Alston had gone to bat one time as a major league ball player and had been toiling as a manager in the Dodger farm system. It seemed a pretty inconspicuous baseball biography for a sus- Icessor to the flambouyant j Charlie Drcssen, who had just been let out after winning ' two straight pennants. Today seven seasons, three National league pennants, and two world championships la ter, the tall, quiet man from Darrtown, Ohio, has his eighth one-year contract with the Dodgers and Is the senior manager in the major leagues. The Dodgers, meanwhile, have moved across the conti nent to Los Angeles, but Al ston has become so much a fixture that announcement of his new contract came as a routine one paragraph state ment issued at the minor league meeting. ham, Jim Piersall and Larry Sherry, So far there hasn't, been a single deal made at the base ball meetings but General Manager Joe Brown of the Pirates set the machinery in motion today for a possible transaction b y announcing "we didn't come here to sit back on our laurels," First to take the Pirates at their word were the ambitious Baltimore Orioles, who made an immediate pitch for out fielder Roberto Clemente. "I'd give a half million dol lars for an outfielder like Cle mente," confessed Baltimore boss Paul Richards. Only One Hitch There's only one hitch. Money won't get Clemente. But the Orioles might if they part with one of their young pitchers like Milt Pappas or Jack Fisher. They don't espe cially care to do that, though, so the deal might boil down to something like Gino Cimoli for Skinny Brown or Wes Stock. The Milwaukee Braves are the ones interested in Duren, the Yankee reliever who con tributed so much to their downfall in the 1958 World Series. "I guess it's common knowl edge we're after a relief pitch er," said Milwaukee General Manager Johnny M c H a 1 e. "The two best in our league are Roy Face and Lindy Me Daniel, but you can't get them." That doesn't mean, how ever, that MeHale can't get Duren, whom he thinks could help the Braves. He wouldn't be averse to taking Sherry or Dick Farrell of the Phillies, either. Burdeite A Reliever? The Braves are so anxious to bolster their bullpen that Manager Chuck Drcssen even is talking about the possibility of making Lew Burdette a reliever. Burdette won 19 games this year principally as a starter. St. Louis has let it be known that Cunningham is available because Bill White is ticketed for the regular first base job next year. Bing Devine, the Cardinals' general manager, says he has had a few feelers for Cun ningham but won't name the interested clubs. Pittsburgh might be one. PRO-AM PLAYED West Palm Beach, Fla.-flffll An 18-hole pro-am round was scheduled today as a warm up for the $15,000 Welt Palm Beach Open golf tournament Thursday. Top pro in the pro am event will receive $3,000. Mike Krak of Morgantown, W. Va., fired a three-under-par 69 Tuesday to head a field of 65 in the qualifying round.

Meanwhile Portland State college will tangle with Pa cific university in Portland and Lewis and Clark will bat tle Oregon Tech. NAIA star Gordy Carrigan will team with Brad Flanary, the Bend sophomore, at the guards for the Red Raiders. Dave Hughes and Don Van' nice will open at forwards while Dave Graham Is to be at center. This will give the Raiders an average height of 8-0 over all and 8-2 in the front line with Graham at 6-5, Vannice 6-0, and Hughes 6-1 Sehopf agrees the Raiders will be lacking on height but he also points out the squad will be one of the sharpest shooting units in the Oregon Collegiate conference, Al most ail of this group are fine shots with Carrigan and Flan ary leading the way," Sehopf reflected. The Raider mentor contin ued on the Carrigan-Flanary duo who he feels "will be one of the best combinations in the OCC, They can shoot the set shot and the jump with equal ability and this will en able us to go against any de fense." SOC will be seeking Its first win over Linfield in two years. Last season the two met in the NAIA district playoffs with the Wildcats romping to victory and a berth in the national tourney. The year be fore, the Haiders were nudged by one point in the final sec onds in the same tournament. Portlanders Pick Benson To Manage Louisville, Ky. -fflPB- The Portland Beavers of the Pa cific Coast league will be managed next season. by Vern Benson, who 1ias been man ager of the Tulsa team In the Texas league for the past two seasons.

He managed Winnipeg in 1956-57 in class C baseball, managed Winston-Salem in class B baseball in 1958, and then went to Tulsa on the AA Texas league. Portland drafted Richard Mauldin, a pitcher who had an 8-4 record with Corning of the New York-Pennsylvania league last summer. He Is 17 years old. Veeck Claims Extra Player Louisville, Ky. WB B 1 1 1 Veeck challenged Ford Frick's authority and, for a change, he lost an argument. The flamboyant White Sox boss tried to claim an extra player in the baseball draft Monday, The commissioner said it was against the rules and flatly refused the elaimr Veeck charged he was being denied his baseball rights. Frick snapped back that Veeck was trying to em barrass him publicly.

THE TRUCKS THAT RIDE SMOOTHER, L-j 6 WORK HARDER, LAST LONGER! Just a year ago, Chevy came up with independent front suspension and has already put some 300,020 Chevrolet trucks with SJ out on jobs. The ride that results 1rom Chevy's suspension design is makintj life a lot easier for driws. (Just ask them,) it's taking better care of loads, th fragile kind that cost somebody money if they ar bounced around. Chevy's ride also enables truck owners to revise their buying haWfs and won their trucks longer before they trade. This follows naturally. The trucks take less of a heating. There's (ess stress on sheet metal. Less abuse to tires. Less pounding that wears out parts before their time, Th upshot of Ills, you either save money or earn more of It or both, And you couldn't ask a truck to do mora than that Sea your dealer, CHEWS INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION, loch whl fcsftpml fjt!y, mlfllffllief cmd itrola on dimib, tsb end Issd.
