NEW YORK (UPI) - Whitey
Ford was in a kind of daze
,when the New York Yankees
asked him if he'd like to sign
both as a pitcher and a pitching
coach.
"I'd just come into the house
after speaking at a dinner in
New Hampshire for 5,000," he
said.
He gulped and added hastily:
"Five thousand people, that
Is."
He "slept on it" and then
agreed to his dual role. The
fact that an estimated $55,000
salary went with it helped con
siderably to make up his mind.
Ralph Houk, whose jump to
general manager paved the
way for Yogi Berra to become
' manager, still- rode the bench
at the announcement. He was a
Pit apologetic.
"We didn't mean to compete
with that other fellow having a
press conference today," he
said, referring to the fact that
ne&iueiiL ituuiiuuy was apceiii-
making a few blocks away.
' Yogi stood around, shifting
from one leg to another and
nodding gnomish agreement to
Houk's statements as the Iron
Major explained a number of
items.
Stays in Games
One was that Ford had always
worked with younger pitchers,
this way all hands would feel
free to give or ask advice and
that Whitey "has been thinking
nf cfavinir in hasnhall 9C B
coach when his pitching days
' are over." Whitey agreed, as-

serting that he looked forward
to a "couple more years of ac-
Unn "
Houk went on to sav that Rob-
er Maris wasn't on the trading
diock; nocny Wlavito ot De
troit wouldn't do well in Yankee
Stadium because his power is
to left center which is the deep
est spot in Yankee Stadium;
pitching was the Yankees'
strong suit; the Yanks were
trying to develop and not trade
for future talent; and that the
big drive was to produce a
catcher for the future as well
as power-hitting outfielders.
The question also arose as to
whether, when he was pitching
and lost his stuff, as pitching
coach he would take himself out
of the game or whether Berra
would make the decision as
manager.
Ford Makes Decision
Houk interjected that during
the past three years Ford was
the only pitcher permitted to
make his own decision as to
whether he would remain in the
game or be relieved. Houk said
he doubted whether he had
overruled Whitey in the decision
more than four of five times.
"I guess it would be up to
Yogi now whether I left the
game," Whitey said. "When he
wasn't the manager and I
wasn't a coach he let me know.
Every time he'd look into the
bench, I knew I was gone."
Yogi shifted to the other leg
and grinned.
'He had the possibility of be
coming a coach," Yogi said in
a statement somewhat compar
able to his "Thank you for
making this necessary" the
time they gave him a night
in St. Louis. "When it comes
to the pitchers, I won't be
afraid to ask Whitey's advice."
Houk. smiled paternally.
"Yogi asked me about Whitey
when I decided Johnny Sain's
terms for returning as pitching
coach were unreasonable,"
Houk said. "I told him Whitey
would be fine."
Which may give you a hint
as to who is still boss around
the house that Ruth built, Joe
DiMaggio enhanced and Casey
Mengel wired for sound.
Al Balding
Triumphs
MEXICO CITY (UPI) - Ca.
nadian PGA champion Al Bald
ing s self-imposed "man-kill'
ing" schedule resulted today in
a neat profit and the satisfac
tion ot achieving his best round
in seven years on the pro cir
cuit. "After playing in four differ
ent countries in the last five
weeks, I thought I would be
dog-tired for this one," said
Balding, who coasted to a six
stroke victory Sunday in the
$16,000 Mexican Open golf tour
nament. "Instead, I wound up
playing the best round of golf
in my professional career."
Record 279
Balding went over par for the
first time in the tournament
with a 73 Sunday but finished
with a mne-undcr-par tournament-record
279 on the strength
of a 67-69 and a 70 in the first
three rounds. The 279 gave him
a six-stroke bulge over Billy
Maxwell of Las Vegas, Nev.,
and Dick Crawford of Rye,
N.Y., who tied for second at
285.
Crawford, who shot a course
record 66 Sunday, and Maxwell
won $1,980 each while the first
place finish was worth $3,000 to
Balding.
Mexican pro Jose Gonzalez
was one stroke behind Maxwell
and Crawford for $1,760 and
Juan Ncri of Mexico, Doug San
ders of Ojai, Cam., and Don
Masscngale of Jacksboro, Tex
each had a 288.
NY Piled
Score On,
Coach Says
NEW YORK (UPI) - Coach
Jack Christiansen of the San
Francisco Forty Niners believes
tne New York Giants "piled on
the score" a little Sunday in
their battle to take over undis
puted first place in the Eastern
Division of the National Foot
ball League.
Coach Al Sherman's Giants.
led by former Forty Niner Y.A.
Tittle, walloped the San Fran
cisco team, 48-14 and found
oout why it isn't wise to aim
kickoffs in Abe Woodson's di
rection.
Christiansen was asked im
mediately after the game if he
thought the Giants nuraoselv
flexed U:eir scoring muscles
against the Western , Division
door mats.
"It kinda looks that wav."
the Forty Niner coach said "I
hope he (Sherman) loses all the
rest of his games."
Giants Over The Bears
However. Christiansen arlrlprt
that the thought the Giants could
beat the Chicago Bears in a ti
tle game if they met. New
York and Chicago presently
lead their respective divisions
by one game.

against his old teammates.
completing only one of seven
passes in the first quarter. How
ever, the 37-year-old quarter
back finished the day by hitting

touchdowns.
The Giant Quarterback now
has thrown a lifetime total of
193 touchdown passes, putting
him only three short of the
NFL record set by Bobby
Layne.
If Sherman was pouririe It on.
and Tittle was achinir to ton
Layne's mark, it wasn't appar

a 30-yard pass for the final
score of the game.
Deceiving Start
The early going had all the
makings of a good Eame. The
Giants got 10 points on a field
goal and a 50-yard run down
the middle bv Phil Kin.
through a hole so big it looked
like he was the only player on

Then Forty Niner quarterback
Lamar McHan fired a bomb to
Bernie Casey for a 68-yard scor
ing play to make it 10-7 Giants.
But then Tittle hit on scoring
passes of 10 yards to Frank Gif
ford, 45 yards to Joe Morrison.
70 yards to Del Shofner and 10
yards to Morrison. Don Chand

The Giants played it very cool
against Woodson, the one bright
spot in San Francisco's dreary
season. During the early part of
the game, they used "squib-
Dier, on-side-type kickoffs to
keep the ball away from the
speedy Woodson.

Chicago Bears Humble GB Packers
B 3
By NORMAN MILLER
UPI Sports Writer
They called George Halas
old-fashioned; there were many
who said the parade had passed
him by and that he hadn't kept
pace with the swiftly advancing
times in pro football; they said
he couldn't win again.
Yet here is 68-year-old "Papa
Bear" on the verge of becom
ing the most successful coach
in any era of pro football.
He coached winners during
the National Football League's
"Gaslight Era" of Ernie Nev
ers and Jim Thorpe; he had
winners during the transitional
T-formation days of Sid Luck
man and Sammy Baugh; and
now he's headed for a winner
in the- modern highly special
ized era of Jimmy Brown, Y.A.
Tittle and Johnny Unitas.
Papa's Bears, using his "old
fashioned" techniques of ball
control and defense, destroyed
the proud Green Bay Packers,
26-7, Sunday and virtually as
sured the NFL of a new cham
pion. Four weeks still remain
in the season but the Bears are
in command with a 9-1 record
and a one-game lead over the
Packers in the Western Divi
sion. Giants On Top
The New York Giants also as
sumed the undisputed lead in
the Eastern Division of the
league when they clobbered the
San Francisco Forty Niners,
48-14, while the St. Louis Car
dinals upset the Cleveland
Browns, 20-14. The Giants, with
an 8-2 record, now hold a one
game lead over deadlocked
Cleveland and St. Louis.
In Sunday's other games, the
Pittsburgh Steelers remained in
the running with a 34-28 win
over the Washington Redskins;
the Los Angeles Rams upset
the Detroit Lions, 28-21; the
Baltimore Colts edged the Min
nesota Vikings, 37-34, and the
Dallas Cowboys beat the Phila
delphia Eagles, 27-20.'
The Bears won the NFL's
biggest battle of 1963 by beat
ing the Packers at their own
game a crushing ground at
tack and an unyielding defense.
Those were the weapons the
Packers had used to win three
straight Western titles and the
last two NFL piayott games.
More Convincing Win
Sunday the Bears were su
preme right from the opening
minutes and by a more con
vincing margin than their 10-3
win over the Packers on the
opening Sunday of the season.
A sellout crowd of 49,166
watched the game at Chicago.
Quarterback Billy Wade com
pleted only 6 of 14 passes, but
tne uiicago ground forces of
Willie Galimore, Joe Marconi
and Rick Casares ground o'1' 248
rushing yards. Galimore's 79
yards were eight more than the
entire Green Bay haul of 71.
Roger LeClcrc kicked four
field goals of 29, 46, 19 and 35
yards; Galimore ran 27 yards
for one touchdown and Wade
carried five yards for another;
and the Chicago defense inter
cepted five passes and recov
ered two Green Bay fumbles.
yvnile injured Bart Starr sat
on 1 the sidelines, John Roach
handled the Green Bay quarter
back job for the first three
quarters and Zcke Bratkowski
for the final period. The Pack
ers' lone score came on an 11-
yard run by Tom Moore late in
the game.
Threw Four TD Passes
At New York, a crowd of
62,982 watched Y.A. Tittle re
cover from a shaky first period
to throw four touchdown passes
in a route of the Forty Niners.
Phil King and Joe Morrison
combined to gain 199 rushing
yards and carried the load un
til Tittle uncranked his arm.
King raced 50 yards on a
draw play for the Giants' first
touchdown; Morrison caught
two of Tittle's scoring passes;
and Frank Gifford also grabbed
two TD tosses, one from rookie
Glynn Griffing. Tittle's passes
gained 284 yards. Abe Woodson
ran back a kickoff 99 yards for
San Francisco.
Charley Johnson threw two
scoring passes and gained 274
air yards for the Cards in the
win that knocked Cleveland out
of a tie for first place. Johnson
passed 41 yards to Sonny Ran
dle and 19 yards to Bill Triplett
for the score that eventually
proved the game-winner.
Cleveland's Jimmy Brown
had the consolation of adding
an NFL record. He raced 59
yards for the Browns' first
score in a 154-yard rushing
haul that made him pro foot
ball's leading all-time ground
gainer by all methods (runs,
pass-catches and kick returns).
His 11,353-yard total topped 01
lie Matson's 11,317.
Ballman Led Steelers
Gary Ballman ran back a
kickoff 92 yards with slightly
more than two minutes to play
and gave Pittsburgh its win at
Washington. The Redskins, who
suffered their seventh straight
defeat, had gone ahead 28-27 on
Norm Snead's 21-yard pass to
Pat Richter with 2:38 left to
play. Ballman earlier had
caught a 67-yard scoring pass
from Ed Brown.
Roman Gabriel completed
three scoring passes to Carroll
Dale (66, 42 and 51 yards) in
the Rams' upset at Detroit.
The last two TD's came in the
final period and enabled the
Rams to overcome a 21-14 De
troit lead that was built up on
Earl Morrall's three scoring
passes.
Johnny Unitas hit Jimmy Orr
with TD tosses of 60 and 13
yards during the final period to
beat Minnesota. The winning
TD came with five seconds left
to play. In all, Unitas threw
four scoring passes.
Don Meredith of the Cowboys
also had a productive passing
day, completing 25 of 33 at
tempts for 302 yards and two
touchdowns against Philadel
phia. Meredith completed his
first nine passes and missed
only three of 19 during the first
half as Dallas opened a '"-6
lead and coa:'.ed to its third
win of the season.

Bob Pettit Hits 18,015
By United Press International
Ageless Bob Pettit has a little
less hair than he did 10 years
ago when he started his profes
sional career with the St. Louis
Hawks.
But, by his own admission, he
can "still run as fast and jump
as high." And, he should have
added, he can still shont with
the same deadly accuracy.
He proved that Sunday night
when he became only the sec
ond man in National Basketball
Association history to pour 18,
000 points through the nets.
Pettit scored 33 points in lead
ing the Hawks to a 117-112 vic
tory over the Los Angeles Lak
ers and boost his career total
to 18,015 points. Only Dolph
Schayes, who started the sea
son with 19,115 points, has
scored more.
