Chisox Deal Nellie Fox To Houston Colts; Pin Hopes on Rookie Buford CHICAGO (UPI) - The Chi- cago White Sox, for the second time in a decade, loaded their American League pennant hopes on a rookie today. In 1956, the Sox traded short stop Chico Carrasquel and as signed the job to Luis Aparicio. In 1959, the team won the pen nant. Tuesday, the Sox dealt veter an second baseman Nellie Fox, the league's most valuable player In 1959, to Houston for money and two minor league players. "We don't think it poses a problem," Sox General Manag er Ed Short said. "Don Buford can play second base.' He's playing it right now in Puerto Rico, and Tony Cucinello is watching him, and feels he can do a pretty good job, and im prove as he plays. Tremendous Speed "He has tremendous speed, a good arm and he hits left or right handed. Last year he led the International League in times at bat, runs, doubles, ' stolen bases and batting aver- Racing Craft Catches Fire SEATTLE (UPI) The De troit hydroplane Notre Dame caught fire while being tested on Seattle's Lake Washington Tuesday afternoon but driver Bill Muncey escaped unharmed. The 6,300 pound, 30-foot craft was being tested by Muncey for owner Shirley Mendelson Mc Donald in an effort to determine what would be the best power plant for the craft. Muncey said apparently a fuel line came loose and he shut off the en gine. When he did, the fuel which had collected in the bot tom of the bilge exploded and caught fire. However, Muncey was wear ing his fireproof coveralls and was not hurt. The mishap oc curred off Lloyd Jetts Marina near Rainier Beach. Jett and a crew were in another boat equipped with fire extinguishers and they came to Muncey's res cue. The extent of damage was not determined immediately. Not Hurt However, Muncey pointed out that the Notre Dame is con structed primarily of aluminum and there was a good possibility that it could be salvaged. MM S '-sJti.1sTS S cl I Tnriwrwwn a.4t K3 Bf rTUS I ,t I age, and was voted most valu able player. "We think Buford is going to be our second baseman, and Fox is the kind of player who wants to play every inning of every game. He's not going to be happy sitting on the bench, and if he's on the bench, you're not going to pay him as much. "Going to Houston can pro long his career, and he can command the type of money he's been getting." It was no surprise that Fox was dealt off to the National League, since there have been rumors for weeks that he was available in the trade marts. But it meant the end of a Chicago career for one of the city's most notable players. Fox played for the Sox for 14 years and in 12 of them, he was voted to the league All Star team. He also led the ma jor leagues in fewest strikeouts for 12 seasons. Appleton Lineman Of Year NEW YORK (UPD-Lineman of the year Scott Appleton is delighted over the prospect of Playing professional football in Texas next season, but he won't disclose with whom he'll sign. Appleton, a 6-foot-3, 235-pound bulwark of the national cham pion Texas line, won a land slide victory as the United Press International's 1963 line man of the year. The Texas mountain of strength received 101 of a pos sible 277 votes in a nationwide poll of sports writers and broadcasters to beat out center Dick Butkus of Illinois, who was named on 55 ballots. Both the Dallas Cowboys of the National League and the Houston Oilers of the American League made Appleton their first draft choices. "That's great," Appleton grinned when he heard the de tails. "I'm very glad to stay in Texas." Bob Brown, a Nebraska guard, trailed Appleton and Butkus in the polling, drawing 31 votes. Minnesota tackle Carl Eller was fourth with 27 and Vern Burke, a record-breaking Oregon State end was fifth with 18.

Backboard Shattered By United Press International Confusion reigned supreme at Oakland, Calif., Tuesday night when Baltimore rookie Gus Johnson jumped to stuff in a shot against the San Francisco Warriors and broke the plexi glass backboard with his efforts.

The contest was held up 25 minutes while the backboard was fixed and the Warriors went on to a 117-108 victory.

U.S. District Judge Lewis II. Morgan heard arguments dur ing a six and one-half hour hearing Tuesday on a motion by the Curtis Publishing Com pany for a new trial and, after conferring with attorneys, will decide whether to grant an ap peal. Butts was awarded $3,060,000 libel damages a U.S. record in federal court last summer. His suit was based on publica tion in the Saturday Evening Post of an article inferring that j he gave away team secrets to Alabama when he was Univer sity of Georgia athletic direc tor. The defense is citing more Uian 30 reasons for wanting a new trial. Without Conscience A team of six attorneys, headed by Post chief counsel Phil Strubing, argued Tuesday that much of the original trial was in error, that vital testi mony was kept from the jury and that the final award to Butts was so excessive that it was "without conscience." Morgan reminded lawyers at least five times that he heard no objections while the trial was in progress the time, he said, when they should have been voiced. "They are trying to get you to pull their ox out of the ditch," drawled William Schro der, chief counsel for the one time great football coach of the Georgia Bulldogs whose recent years have been rooted by mis fortune. Schroder said the Post attor neys "forfeited their right" to object to the trial procedure when they "acquiesced to it during the trial itself. The Post lawyers contended that the judge himself had the duty to refuse to accept the jury s verdict, wnicn mcy noiea was by far the largest libel award in court records. They said he also should have cau- t i o n e d against what they termed inflammatory state ments made by Butts' lawyers. II MV -TX.4V, lliTllllrfi1f 111 MIllllU I : x$M2XWfom.
