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

International
of immortality in the bifeball
history books.
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.

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

attempting to steal, you still ac
complish something by trying,"
he says. "Nothing ever is really
wasted. 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."

Adopts New
Game Rules
OLYMPIA (UPI) The state
game commission Tuesday
made it illegal for game proces
sors to accept game animals for
processing without an accom
panying tag showing the owner's
name and address or a seal or
tag issued by the department.
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.

"0 behalf of the team and

"We felt we had to control the

said of the Southern California
victory, which probably sent
the Sooners soaring to their
greatest heights since their hey
days of the mid-50s.

about strategy, because Okla

doub.'e - reverses, which includ

off balance.

Court Ruling
Appeal Filed
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -The
Californis industrial scci
dent commission has appealed
to the state supreme court a
ruling that a recipient of a col
lege football scholarship is a
state employee.
The ruling was made by the
district court of appeal in Los
Angeles in a suit brought by Ka
ren Taylor Van Horn, widow of
one of 16 Cal Poly players killed
in ap Ohio plane crash in 1960.
The district court held in ef
fect thit Van Horn was being
paid for playing football be
cause he received $50 a month
and that his widow therefore
was eligible for death benefits
under the workmen's compen
sation act.
In asking a hearing Tuesday,
the commision protested that
the decision put "the stamp of
professionalism on persons re
ceiving athletic scholarships. It
even speculated that the ruling
might make athletes ineligible
in international amateur events
such as the Olympic Games.
