"I realized our pitching was a bit thin when we went into Baltimore," Houk added, referring to the five straight losses at the hands of the Orioles. "But we're squared iaway now." Terry, the Yanks' No. 1 "stopper" all reason long, look care of that. Struck Out Nin The skinny, 28 -year -old boyish-looking right-hander struck out nine, didn't walk a man and pitched perfect ball for five innings en route to his third shutout of the season. The only hits off Terry were singles, one by Bubba Phillips ii. the sixth, one by Tito Francona in the seventh and an in eld safety by Al Luplow in the ninth.

Little Change Of Strong Houston Oilers (Thii is another in a series on the preseason prospects of professional football teams for 1962.) By THAVIS HUGHS Houston, Tex. - IITII - The Houston Oilers have had a biK turnover in head coaches but there has been little change in the devastating at- Rht utball 1 e a g championship: Frank (Pup) Ivy is the Oil ers' third head coach in as many seasons. He replaces Wally Lemm, who moved into Ivy's vacated post with the St. Louis Cardinals of the National Football league in an unusual man-tor-man shift. Ivy may find it hard to match the record compiled by Lemm, who o n c e was Fop's assistant with the Cardinals. Lrtntn came out of retirement after the Oilers floundered last season and guided them to 10 consecutive victories and the league championship. However. Ivy has inherited a wealth of talent. , Veteran quarterback George Blanda and his young under- j study, Jacky Lee, teamed to break football's 4000-yard, passing harrier last season. They riddled opponents' de fenses for 4.545 yards. Blanda, 34. is starting his Ltth pro season. He was the league's player of the year in lotil. He completed 52 pet cent of his passes for 3,y:t0 yards and kicked H4 of M5 extra points and IS field 'goals, the longest of which j was a record 55 yards. Frstier Hat Chsnc I Charles Fraier may have , the best chance of the rookies I trying to break into the Oil ; ers' offense. The sprinter from Texas Southern ran on the V S 4il().incter relay team that set tiie world record in llltil at Moscow. He tried out for split end and flanking back and caught an 82-yard scoring I pass from L.i; in an August, ton and Al Kaline. The Bos ton outfielder also drove in another run with a third in ning double off loser Hank Aguirre, whose record is 12-6. Gene Conley went 6', in nings for his 13th victory against 11 losses. Rookie Dick Radatz came to Conlcy's aid in the seventh when the Ti gers scored their last two runs and allowed only one hit the remainder of the way.

Dividing the duties at right end are Bob McLeod, VVillard Dewveall and John White. Hallbnck Billy Cannon rounds out the pass-receiving offense. He led the league's running hacks in receiving, witli nine touchdown catches, and in rushing. Tolar Mans Fullback Charley Tolar holds down fullback and Dave Smith re lieves both Cannon and Tolar. Rookie Sammy Oates, a line backer candidate, also may be used as a swingman for the running backs. Al Jamison leads the of fensive line that is at its best on pass protection. The inser tion of fast rookies Walt Suggs of Mississippi State illui John Frongillo of Baylor may help on running plays. F.ight-year pro tackle Kd Husmann runs the defensive line. Rookie hopefuls here are many and Ivy was still shuf fling them as the final cut dow n approaches. Outstanding rookies were Hay Jacobs, the Oilers' No. 1 draft choice from Howard Payne; Ray Pinion of TCU and Tom G o o d e of .Mis sissippi Slate, lioorie may get a shot at linebacker, a posi tion weakened by serious in juries to regulars Mike Dukes and Doug Clme.

Trailer License Change Proposed Salem - IUPII - Purchasers of -used house trailers won't have to pay license fees of previous owners if a bill rec ommended . by the Oregon Motor Vehicles Department is approved. The recommendation was made to the Legislative High way Interim Committee. At present, trailers can be sold and their titles trans ferred even though not all back fees are paid. New owners must pay up. The department recom mended that title changes be made only after all fees are paid. Also recommended was a change in the licensing of used car lot dealers. The pro posed bill would require that every lot operated under a different name have a seper- ate license. Now a dealer can get free licenses for supple mental lots after he has one license. The department asked for legal authority to seek com plete driving records of new drivers license applicants who were formerly licensed in other states. The Traffic Safety Com mission recommended that no changes be made in laws re lating to minors found with liquor in their cars. Edward Warmolh, safety commission executive secretary, said pres ent legislation is adequate.

PH0NI 773-4575 Giants in Recover After 6-6 Road Trip By HAL WOOD UPI Sports Writer San Francisco - (UPD - The hobbling San Francisco Gi ants, counted out of the Na tional league race 10 days ago, are right back in there today -ready, able and eager to tan gle with all comers. "We play Milwaukee, Cin cinnati and Los Angeles dur ing the next 10 days." said Manager Alvin Dark as he rested at his home after a strenuous 6-6 road trip. "But we are going to take them one at a time. "Against Milwaukee we'll pitch Juan Marichal, Billy O'Dell and JacK Sanford." The mound staff looks strong these days, but there are holes in the rest of the lineup. Willie McCovey still is limping; and the return of Jimmy Davenport to third base is a question mark. "I used Willie for a couple of innings in the Sunday game at Philadelphia," said Dark. "But he's still limping.

Singer Jane Morgan Takes Pill Overdose New York-(UPII-Singer Jane Morgan was rushed to a hos pital early today in serious condition caused by an over dose of sleeping pills. Miss Morgan. 43, was found unconscious in the bedroom of her 12th floor apartment off Fifth Avenue shortly before midnight, by a friend who said she telephoned him to announce: "I did it, I did it, I took an overdose.'' The friend, Dick Horton, told police he was admitted to the apartment by a maid who was unaware of Miss Morgan's condition. The blonde singer was re ported depressed in recent weeks because of her mother's death, police said. COD -S8 LININGER'S I ' M : DIAL 773-7555 Pennant Race Again "And I don't know yet when Davenport will be able to return, to third base. We'll have to see." Willie Mays was given a rest Sunday to see if he can get his batting swing back in the groove. Earlier in the week, second baseman Chuck Hiller was given a rest after running into a series of er rors. "I'm sure the rest will do them both good," said Dark. "They'll both play better start ing tomorrow." Dark had nothing but praise for Orlando Cepeda, his baby bull first baseman. Orlando was in a slump and Dark fined him two weeks ago for failing to run out a grounder. But in the last six games he has batted an even .600 with 13 hits in 26 trips to the plate, with six homers, three dou bles and 11 runs batted in. "He was phenomenal in that Philadelphia series," said Dark, "rte was a one-man wrecking crew. I never saw anything like it. I've never seen one man carry a ball club the way he did." The catching situation has boiled down to two young sters, Tom Haller, a left-handed swinger; and John Orsino, who hits right-handed. "I'll alternate them, de pending upon the pitcher," said Dark. "And I'll use Ed Bailey on occasion." The fine work of the two youths mostly has relegated Bailey to the bench for pinch hitting duties. The Giants go into the Mil waukee series trailing Los An- Houston, Greensboro Meet in World Series Washington, Pa.-lUPU-Hous-ton, Tex., and Greensboro, N.
