MEDPORDvWTSiBUNK SIPOMRTg Duck Drill Follows Removal of Snow Philadelphia -IUPII - Oregon's football Webfoots, somewhat awed with the snow but de lermined to work the kinks out, staged a light practice Aparicio Leader of Shortstops Boston - IIMI - There's fresh evidence today of what Man ager Al Lopez of the Chicago White Sox has been saying for the last two years: Luis Apa ricio is baseball's modern "Mr. Shortstop." American league fielding statistics released by league president Joe Cronin disclose that the slick-fielding Apari- cio's .879 percentage in 1960 was by far the best in the cir cuit. It was the second straight season in which Aparicio led the shortstops and his average this year was nine points high er than his 1959 mark. With Aparicio and catcher Sherman Lollar showing the way. the White Sox led in team fielding with a ,9819 mark - shading the Baltimore Orioles for the honor by .0002. It was the fourth straight season in which the White Sox were tops in the league in defense. Lollar, another key man for the third-place While Sox, committed only three errors to lead the catchers with a .995 figure. Rounding out the best-fielding infield in the league were first-baseman Vic Power of the Cleveland Indians with .996, second-baseman Pete Runnels of the Boston Red Sox with .986 and third-baseman Brooks Robinson of the Orioles with .977. The best-fielding trio of outfielders in the circuit were Charlie Maxwell of the De troit Tigers with .996, Gene Woodling of the Orioles with .995 and Jim Piersall of the Indians with .992. Pedro Ramos of the Washington Senators had 60 total chances to top a list of 46 pitchers who did not commit a single error during the season. The While Sox also led in double plays, with 175, the Orioles' 108 errors were low for the league and the Sena tors made the only triple play of the campaign.

The Webfoots meet Penn State at Philadelphia's Munic ipal Stadium Saturday in the second annual Liberty Bowl. Philadelphia is blanketed with 14.6 inches of snow. The temperature here early today was 7 above. Oregon's 44-man team staged a "non-contact" workout after its arrival from Chicago. The squad left Eugene Tuesday and stayed overnight at Chi cago. Len Casanova's gridders drilled following a snow-removal operation at the stadi um. More than 200 city em ployees took several hours to scrape the snow off the field. Casanova wasn't exactly happy with the weather situ ation. "This won't help things but a lot depends on the con dition of vthe field at game time," the veteran Duck head coach said. "We were hoping for a dry and fast field. We'll just have to wait and see." University Park, Pa.' -ttlPU-The Penn State football team was declared in "top physical condition" today after holding its "final big workout" on frozen Beaver field in prepar ation for the Liberty Game Saturday. Lion Coach Rip Engle said his players wore "ripple sole shoes because the Beaver field turf was "frozen solid." He said the shoes helped prevent injuries. Engle said he would put nis squad through a light workout today before leaving Dy dus for Philadelphia. Professor Rates Penn Over UO University Park, Pa.-A pro fessor-statistician who rates football teams as an avocation picks Penn State over Oregon in the Liberty Bowl at Phila delphia on Saturday. 'The two teams are evenly- matched," says Roger B. Say- lor, professor of business sta tistics at the Pennsylvania State university, "but I must give the edge to Penn State because of its tougher season schedule." Ex-Coast Guardsman Say- lor, who contrived his rating system between invasions in the Pacific during World War II, gives equal weight in his computations to wins-losses and "strength of schedule' formula. Penn State lost three dur ing the 19BU campaign - 10 third-ranking Missouri, 15th ranking Syracuse, and 24th ranking Illinois. Oregon lost to fourth-ranking Washington and 18th ranking Michigan and was tied by 30th ranking Oregon State. The two teams are separ ated by 18 rating points in Saylor's final standings. Say lor says "about 25 points" represent a touchdown. ' "This game is not unlike most games on the post-season calendar this year," Saylor says. "It should be close all the way." Jacob Mountain, the first Anglican Bishop of Quebec who died in 1825, traveled about his diocese by sled, car riage, canoe or on foot for more than 30 years. MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.

And, the clubs are coached by British Soccer Pros Vote To Go on Strike Manchester, England - (UPD The threat of a total soccer strike, involving 92 clubs and 2,700 professional players, is growing stronger each day. Players representing Eng land's Northern section over whelmingly voted on Wednes day, 254-6, to go through with a walkout prior to the Jan. 14 games if their demands aren't met. Earlier, the Southern sec tion had voted unanimously in favor of the strike. The final group of players, repre senting the Midland area, was expected to go along with the others. The players want the pres ent maximum wage limit of 20 pounds ($56) a week re moved and they want freedom to negotiate contracts which do not tie them to a club for life. Soccer officials fear that if there is a strike, the game would never recover to its present standards. Many clubs are existing on a weeK lo week basis and they eventu ally might have to close operations.
