Johnny Podres was playing it all over again in his mind. The big one which will be his mark Pittsburgh Heads Pros In Defense NEW YORK (UPI) - Buddy Parker, coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, cites defense as a team's most important asset and today his Steelers are lead ing the National Football league in that category. The Steelers' coach says, "de fense is the biggest thing in football. Winning simply comes down to having a defense." To confirm Parker's theory, the Steelers have allowed only 34 first downs in their three games. Just eight of the M were gained on the ground and they are tied with the world cham pion Green Bay Packers for the least yardage allowed ih rush ing at 254. And, while the Chica go Bears haven't allowed a rushing touchdown, the Steelers allowed just one and are tied with the Browns with 31 point6 scored against them. Experience Coach Parker attributes this year's defensive difference to experience. "Sure, we had to have a re placement at defensive tickle," says Parker, "but Lou Cortlile ene was with us last year, and the oflly other new man, John Baker a defensive end, hd been around a while and was able to tcp in." Parker adds, "no com ever turned out a real wlnncf K he had to make a lot of defensive changes. Offense is easy to teach. Defence takes time." The NFL's leading rushw, Jim Brown, who hs gaiited 4 yard thus far, will be trying to crack the .Steelers' defense next Saturday night when me teams meet in Clevelswl. The Browns lead the league in total offense with 1279 yards. The contest will ha Pittsburgh's atifFesi tost to date.

The day he beat the supposed ly invincible Yankees in the sev enth game of the 1955 World Series to sweep the Dodgers to their first world championship. "Living a memory, huh?" he was asked. Podres, one of the last of the old Brooklyn Dodgers, came back to the present and smiled slowly. "What else?" he asked. What else, indeed, as one more time this young-old left hander, who is one of the few Dodger survivors of the shift to Los Angeles, prepared to go back to the same mound against those same old rivals. It's a roue he's been before. He lost one game against them in 1953. But he got "en in 1955 after the Yanks nad won the first two games and were talk ing of a four-game sweep. Pod res revitalized the Dodgers by winning the third game, they battled all even through six games, and then Johnny only 23 then marched out to the mousd at Yankee Stadium and beat the Bombers 2-0. St ores Third Victory They were the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the opposition was the White Sox, when he scored his third series victory in 1959 for a second Dodger world championship. So he's had a hand in the only two champion ships thy ever won. But 1955 was the big one. Until, maybe, this time. He is regarded now, at 31, as a veteran from whom the en durance and flexibility of youth has flown. And he jarred the Dodgers' bright hopes for a rc ixat out of the past when re was battered badly by live Phillies last Saturday night in nis linai regular season aparnnce. The Phillies, who do not even faintlv resemble the Yanke.es, cannoned Johnny for 12 hits and eight runs in one and two-thirds innmns. It proposed a quesuon as to Podres' sharpness going into his second game start at the stadium on Thurxlay. "I'm not worried about being hit bv the Phillies like that," he said, admitting with a trace of admiring amusement that they couldn't have hit me any better if I'd told each hitter what I was going to throw him." Explains Theory There was no travee of an ali bi in his tone as he explained nil theory for that shellacking. "1 mare a special appearance early that day at an automobile auencv. For over an hour I signed autographs in 100 degree heat. I wouldn't have done it ex rr that we had the pennant cli:.."hed. "And I won't I doing that during the World Series," he pointed out. Saturday ia gone from the mind of Johnny Podres. He re memberj those October days eight years ago and looks for ward eagerly to Thursday. "Johnny always comes up (or the big own," said manag'r Walter Alston. The question Is whether his tory wHl repeat itself. 7 &l964:k auto: I W SHOW I 1 J Family Weekly bh Anvrica Autt-wJiW 1 A 4- ) TAKKS ON PITCIIEItS Mickey Mantle, New From left are York Yankees' power hitter, takes on three Koufax and Don powerful pitchers during Tuesday break in prac- Ford. (UPI) tice session in Yankee Stadium (or World Series. Maury Wills To Be Running in Series Hv MILTON RICIIMAN NEW YORK (UPI) Maury Wills will be running just in case the Yankees had any doubt. Without issuing any defiant boasts or threats, the. quiet but keyd-up Dodger speedster made his World Series inten tions perfectly clear today by saying "when I stop being ag gressive I won't be Maury Wills anymore." Translated quickly that means the Yankees can try to stop him if they can. Yankee catcher Elston How ard never has down - graded Wills, nor has he put him up on anv special pedestal. . "I know he can run," Howard says simply. "He stole 104 bases last year and 40 this year but we have some fast fellows in our leafiiie. too. and none have ran wild against us. For Wills or for anyone, I'm gonna play my na tural game. JluiU Him Kin? That suits Wills just fine. "I'm going to play my natural game, too," Jie -says, without any cockiness. "I'm not saying I plan to do this or I plan to do that but of course I have my own ideas. "I've read what Howard has said. I read the papers all Ihe time and it helps me. You can go to school on what you read. "A couple of years ago I read evcrv word in story about what the Pittsburgh pitchers had to say about me. You have no idea how much it helped. If you look it up, I think you II find f have a pretty good aver age against the Pirates." Chiefly because of Wills and Willie Davis, the Yankees open ly acknowledge the Dodgers' su perior speed. Hut they also keep repeating the hoary old baseball axiom that they have to get on base before they can steal. Willi Isn't Bothered "That's obvious," says Wills. The possibility that Howard may cut him down trying to steal doosn't particularly faze the slender Los Angeles short stop. "Even when you're thrown out GIANTS. TAHOH TRAt)K ST.

Even if you bunt and foul the ball off you still can break a pitcher's rhythm." The Dodger shortstop con fesses he has been treated "won derfully" by the press but still is sensitive about some of the things written about him. It ob viously hurts when he reads that some think he's slipping on de fense. "Until I lost my wallet this spring," he said, "I kept a clip ping that quoted Dick Groat. He said I was the best shortstop in the league and that I made all the plays." Ed Machen Ranked 8th NEW YORK (UPI) - Eddie Machen, who celebrated his re turn to boxing with a knockout of Ollie Wilson, was ranked eiahth today among the heavy wiights in Ring Magazine's lat ent ratings. Machen was out of boxing for a year following a nervous breakdown. Before nis ilinis, Machen was one of '.he top con tenders for the heavy weight crown.

The rule was one of a new set of regulations adopted by the commission to be effective Jan. 1, 19fi4. The rules replace 58 regulations rescinded by the commission to make its prohi bitions "easier to understand." The commission added a pro vision in its game shipping re quirements that will allow in dividuals to transport game ani mals, fish or birds for other persons if the catch is properly marked. But to prevent hunters and fishermen from using the trans portation clause as an excuse to have more than their limits, the commission ruled it illegal for anyone to "claim owner ship" of a larger number than fixed by possession limits. Ownership claim was substi tuted for "possession" to free processors from prosecution. Under the old rules a processor was technically liable for prose cution if he had more animals, fish or birds in his "possession" than the limit allowed, a spokes man explained.

Bud Wilkinson Selected Coach of Week by UPI sp-BUD WILKINSON- eol ki NORMAN, Ofcla. (UPI) Okla homa's Bud Wilkinson, the sil ver - hairtM football strstegist whose golden touch paid off in a stunning 17-12 upaet of defend ing national champion Southern California today was nantsd United Press Inter national coach of the week." "0 behalf of the team and coaching staff 1 appreciate the honor paid to them all," Wilkin son said as he prepared to study films of Oklahoma's most im portant victory in years. "We felt we had to control the ball to win the game it was no super - strategy," Wilkinson said of the Southern California victory, which probably sent the Sooners soaring to their greatest heights since their hey days of the mid-50s. New Series Southern California mi g h t quarrel with Bud's modesty about strategy, because Okla homa unveiled a new series of doub.'e - reverses, which includ ed passing, to go with its storied ground game and bone-rattling defense that had the Trojans off balance. Oklahoma's ball control tac tics hogged the game while they built up a 17-6 halftime lead.
