. Miami -lUI'D- Baseball, per
ennlally In the front spot,
bowed to worldwide Influence
of the Olympic Games in 1060
with the international sports
spectacle in Rome ranking as
the number one sports story
of the year.
.. The summer Olympiad,
with Its hundreds of stories
within a story, vibrated across
the world's sports pages for
weeks.
Trailing in the wake was
the dazzling action of the
Pittsburgh Pirates' seven-
game triumph in the World
Scries.
The top 10 stories of the
sports year In this corner's
estimation were:
1. Summer Olympics,

victory.
3. Floyd Patterson first
man to recapture heavyweight
title.

' 10. Jim Rathmann's Indian
apolis 500 triumph,
The Olympics were out In
front by themselves with cyc
widening performances by
such as Rafer Johnson and
Wilma Rudolph the failures
of such as John Thomas and
Ray Norton, the usual rhu
barbs and glittering overall
performances.
Pittsburgh, after capturing
its first pennant in 33 years,
went on to conquer the Yan
kees in as wild and hairy a
finale as the Series has ever
seen. It will be remembered
as the one when a double play
ball took a bad hop, sent Tony
Kubek to the hospital, opened
the way for five runs only to
have the Yankees tie it up In
the top of the ninth - to set
the stage for Bill Maieroikl's
winning homer.
Patterson rewrote boxing
history with his knockout of
Ingcmar Johansson to become
the first man ever to recap
ture the heavyweight crown.
Floyd had something extra
going for him, however, being
only 25 years old instead of a
washed-up has-been living on
past glory.
Baseball's sudden expan
sion. Us hand forced by con
gressional action, was a
riotous, htphasard affair with
the American League taking
on Los Angeles and Minneapo

Palmer's bid for a fantastic

was a continuing story even
though It ended with a second

Open and total collapse In the

The Canada Cup, growing
fantastically in international
prominence, proved by the
worldwide intorest it gener

fair in 1946. The Huskies and
Gophers have been meeting
since 1036; with Minneosta
holding a 0-5 edge.
Minnesota was favored by
6 points to wear down the
Huskies with their powerful
line and then grind their way
to scoring territory.
Tactics Pay
Those tactics paid off dur
ing the regular season with
and 8-1 record and the nation
al championship. And the
Gophers hove the "horses" to
do the Job.
Perhaps the most closely-
observed lineman in Rose
Bowl history will be Minne
sota's All - American guard
Tom Brawn, the lineman of
the year and winner of the
Outlund trophy.
. Brown Is flanked by an al
most as great lineman in team
captain Greg Larson, center
and linebacker. The Gophers'
starting line averages .220
pounds and rarely has been
turned or pierced this season.
Washington's pride was in
flashy and speedy backs led
by halfbacks George Fleming
and Don McKcta and featur
ing the line plunging of full
back Ray Jackson. It's not-so-secret
weapon is breakaway
start Charlie The Missile Mit
chell who understudies Flem
ing. And the Huskies have two
outstanding quarterbacks in
Bob Schloredt and Bob Hlv
ner who were expected to al
ternate on an even basis, al
though Ilivncr was listed to
get the starting call. It was
Schloredt who led Washing
ton to Its 44-8 upset victory
over Wisconsin last New
Year's Day.
Hivner Sparks
But when Schloredt was in
jured Oct. 15 in the UCLA
game, Hivner look over and
sparked the Huskies lo a 8-1
season and their second bowl
bid.
Although the Gophers do
not have the speedy backs to
match Washington's they fea
ture one of the best defensive
quarterbacks In college foot
ball In Sandy Stephens, a 215
pounder who also is a hard
hitting ball carrier and good
short passer.
And Stephens Is joined by
such hard-hitting mates as
fullback Roger Hagberg and
halfbacks Bill Munsey and
Dave Mulhollnnd.
Washington's line Is led by
center Rov MaeKcsson whose
job it will be to meet Brown
head-on. The Huskies .also
have other fine lineman like
Chuck Allen, Kurt Gcgnor
and Bill Kinnune to give the
Gophers a buttle.

Woolpert
Considers
Job Offer
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press International
San Francisco - 91PD - Phil
Woolpert, who stepped down
more than a year ago as coach
of the University of San Fran
cisco's once-mighty basketball
team, may return to the hard
wood in the role of a diplo
mat. . ' -
"I'm checking possiblities of
instructing South American
coaches as part of a State De
partment program," 0the 45-year-old
defensive wizard said
today.
"That's the only way I
would go back lo the sport.
Coaching players is a job for
younger men. But if I could
work with coaches themselves
on a permanent basis, I might
move with my family to South
America."
Woolpert, now a sales di
rector for a vending machine
company, feels that sports
often does a lot more for in
ternational relations than
morning coats and and fancy
receptions. His Dons of 1959
did a little spade work in that
field when they toured the
Philippines.
"The big thing about inter
national basketball is that you
really get to the people," he
said.
Jangled Nerves
Woolpert built a basketball
empire midway through the
last decade when USF won
the NCAA title in 1955 and
1956, streaked to 60 consecu
tive wins and gave the sport
such names as Bill Russell and
K. C. Jones.
But by 1958-59, the big
wheels were gone and the
Dons closed out that season
with a 6-20 mark. Came the
1959-60 campaign and "Wool
py," hampered by a sore back
and jangled nerves, whistled
himself out ot the business
before the season was very
much along.
Yes, he'd quit all over
again.
"Coaching doesn't get easier
as you grow older, we might
as well be realistic about it,"
Woolpert said. "No game
wears down the nervous sys
tem more. Basketball coach
ing calls for younger men.
You can keep a better per
spective when you're in your
thirties. I still remember how
I'd sit down to dinner before
a game, take one bite and
shove the plate away."

The Detroit Pistons, who
only a week ago were battling
to stay out of the National

place.
Detroit overcame an early

Sunday night. The victory
was the fourth in a row for
the Pistons and left them just
percentage points behind second-place
Cincinnati.

Walter Dukes, who scored 15
points, also was outstanding
on the backboards.
Elgin Baylor of the Lakers,
however, took scoring honors
for the night with 39 points.
In other Sunday games,
Tommy Hcinsohn scored 23
points and Sam Jones added
22 as the Boston Celtics
whipped Syracuse 113-96, and
the Cincinnati Royals nipped

gamely fought back into con
tention after trailing by as
many as 11 points in the sec

But as is usually the case
with the Buckeyes, Lucas
came to the rescue. He con
verted three key foul shots in
the final minutes of play and
set up the basket which even
tually proved the margin of
victory.
Lucas Most Valuable
Lucas finished the night

most valuable player award.
St. John's, third-ranked in
the nation, withstood a 34

ship in one of the roughest
games in the tourney's tjis

Youngkin was ejected from
the game early in the second
half for roughing under the
basket and several technical
fouls were called on each
team as the fans littered the
court with coins and paper.

Control of both backboards
proved the decisive factor in
the Tar Heels' seventh vic

New York - (UPD - Two old

were playing golf at Monter
ey, Calif., last Memorial Day.
On the 15th hole, one of the
golfers drove to the green
with a No. 7 iron and the ball
headed unerringly toward the
pin.
"Go in!" yelled one golfer.
"No, no!" shouted the man
who had sent the ball on its
way.
After the ball stopped a few
inches short of the cup, ac
cording to the current Look
magazine, the golfer who had
wanted the ball to plop into
the cup asked the oEhcr why
he had shouted "no, no."
"If I had made a hole-in-one,"
said Sen. John F. Ken

front page, and people would
say 'Oh, just another golfer
