The only glaring reversal of form occurred at Chapel Hill, N.C. There, the coaches' bugaboo, over confidence, hit the Navy eleven and left it sprawling before the Tar Heels. Outside of that there wasn't too much excitement. Notre Dame kept rolling, and Army will be facing a team yet to be scored upon when those ancient rivals re new hostilities in Philadelphia Sat urday. The big difference between the Irish of 1956 and 1957 is de fense, sound blocking and good tackling. And a team that does both well is hard to beat. - Army's win over Penn State was a good one, and establishes the Cadets as the best in the East at present. In the Ivy League, Princeton's Tigers moved into the favored notch again with their overwhelming win over Columbia. Brown beat Yale by a point. Duke and North Carolina State dominate the Southeast. Oklahoma had a soft touch in Iowa State, and in Texas the Aggies' steam roller kept Bear. Bryant's crew among the first five. Arkansas' third win in a row has the folks boosting the Razorbacks' standing ahead of Baylor, beaten by Mi ami. Oregon State is still the class on the Pacific Coast and there doesn't appear to be any ri val capable of stopping them on their march to the Pacific Coast Conference championship. In the Big Ten, Michigan State, Minnesota and Michigan, the three "big M's," are still the teams to beat, and the top game in the country this week end could be the Gerry Coleman Takes Blame For Run Producing Bobble MILWAUKEE (UP) - The big hop confused Gerry Coleman and he took the blame today for the run which put the world champion New York Yankees in desperate straits against the challenging Milwaukee Braves. Coleman referred to Eddie Mathews' hopping ground ball in the sixth inning of the fifth game of the 1957 World Series. Mathews scored the only run of the game two plays later. "It was my boot," Coleman said. "I saw the ball all the way and misjudged it. It took a high hop at first, but it wasn t a hard ball to handle. I was about 15 feet out on the grass and I came in, but not far enough. "I should have come one more step and I would have had him. I misjudged the runner's speed and then I took the ball against my chest instead of in front of me. The throw was on the line and accurate, but when I got the ball 1 might as well have eaten it. Coleman drew no criticism from Slade Captures Split Decision NEW YORK (UP) Veteran Jimmy Slade, campaigning on the comeback trail for a shot at the light heavyweight title, agreed to day to a return TV fight with Jer ry Luedee, over whom he won an upset split decision at St. Nicho las Arena Monday night. Promoter Teddy Brenner said he would stage the return 10-rounder i.l St. Nick's Nov. 25. Thirty-one-year-old Slade. New York, a 4-1 underdog because he hadn't fought in 14 months, got off the canvas in the third round and came on to win a split verdict over Luedee, 25, of New Haven, Conn.

TV t-44M Spartan - Wolvering contest before more than 100,000 at Ann Arbor. Wisconsin has shown much scor ing punch, but the opposition has been weak. It was good to see "Buck" Shaw's Air Academy crew take Detroit. They're coming along out there, and will meet much tougher competition next year. The professionals caused most of the excitement for those who take both college and pro football seri ously. The favorites certainly are having a tough time. Again four of them got taken to the cleaners. The vaunted Chicago Bears were supposed to bounce back and take Baltimore. The Colts looked great in winning and lead the division they were supposed to support from the cellar. Once again great defensive play halted the oppo sition. At Green Bay, the rejuvenated Packers were supposed to have too much spirit for the old pros from Detroit. Showing a complete reversal of form from their play of a week earlier, the Lions were in command all the way. Y. A. Tittle, a fellow who can really pass, was the big noise as the Forty-Niners beat the Los Angeles Rams. The San Francisco club looked great in winning, and looked bad when beaten by the Cardinals a week ago. Washington could do nothing right against Pittsburgh; they couldn't do any thing wrong against the Chicago Cardinals, and it was the rookies who sparkled for Joe Kuharich. The Browns and Giants won as expected, but the Giants had trou ble taking Philadelphia. Now it's the Colts on top in the Western Division and the Browns in the East, but the season has still 10 games to go, and it gets rougher each week. manager Casey Stengel, although Stengel said flatly that "that ball should have been out." But there were perhaps two reasons why the aging sage of the Yanks made no issue out of the play. First, Casey's strategy back fired in the eighth when the Yanks appeared to have a chance to tie the game with maybe win, and second, Coleman was one of the two players whom he believed hit Lew Burdette. Coleman singled with one out in the eighth and Stengel put in Mickey Mantle, who couldn't bat or field due to a sore shoulder, as a pinch-runner. Then he pulled!!"01 aaiuruay s game wun jiicn his pitcher. Whitey Ford, in favor !'San s'a'e. of Eiston Howard, whose homer Sunday tied the game in the ninth inning. "I was going to let Ford bat and sacrifice," he said, "but I could see I wasn't going to use Howard (later in the game), so 1 changed my mind and went for two runs instead of one." Howard was called out on a sweeping sidearm third strike and Mantle was caught stealing on the first pitch to the next Yankee batter, Hank Bauer. The only other hitter worthy of Stengel's praise was Gil Mc Dougald, who drove a pitch by Lew Burdette against the left field fence in the fourth inning. But West Covington dove against the mesh to snare the drive and somersaulted into the cinders for the putout. We didn t do any hitting. Stengel said. "Tehri pitcher held us in when we had men on base. Our pitcher gave us a good pitched game without much help from us. I can t find fault with the' way he pitched."

TU 4-7778 H urry Up Football Taken Over By Nation's Top Grid Teams By STEVE SNIDER United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Hurrv ud. hurry up, hurry up that's another trend in college football today. It's out of the huddle, dash to the line of scrimmage and bang! If you saw Michigan State-California on television last Saturday, you get the idea. The speed with which they ran-off plays left the viewer well-nigh breathless. At times. Michifian State ran 'em so fast the California center barely had time to give his de- lensive signals before the Spartans were up to the line and ready to 80. Thus, it's no surprise that Mich igan State leads the nation in reeling off plays, averaging 86.5 per game. Army's snappy cadets are second with 85.5 plays per game. Duke with 76, California with 74, Navy 72.5, Texas A. & M. with 70 are among the leaders. mis hurry - up innovation is another "steal" from Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson, as was the two-unit substitution system, but so far this year the. Sooners are being "out-hurried" by the nation's leaders. Oklahoma, second inthe nation in play average with 77.5 per game last year, has slowed to 65.5 in its first two games. But the net result of the speed up, nation-wide among the top teams, is more football for the spectator dollar than ever before in history and that includes the Sports Notes.

According to exhaustive re search, it has been determined there actually was 10 per cent more playing time, or six minutes per game, under the platoon sys tem than under the current sub stitution rule which keeps the clock running in more situations. But two hurry-uppers like Mich igan State and California can knock off 25 more plays per game than the national average under me platoon set-up. The current speed-up is an out growth of the unit sub system in which fresh teams are run in at intervals. All, or nearly all the national leaders in the number of plays, are devotees of the unit system. Obviously, only fresh troops could stand the gaff of those sprints out of the huddle plus the usual wear and tear of executing me piays. Michigan State brings in fresh men constantly. Army substitutes its lines by units though quarter back Dave Bourland is likely to stay in most of the time and other backs are substituted as needed. Even in the big schools, the problems of filling out two or more units are tremendous. Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State said earlier, "you have to have some weak spots when you try to put 22 men on your first team. But. fresh troops, even with weaknesses, sometimes are better than star players who have grown weary. Old friends will welcome IB I r tow : to M WRICi r?T?

INB, Today's Sports Parade ' By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP)-Bullet Bob Turley, a failure in victory and a success in defeat, today calmly ana matter . ot tactiy taced the task of keeping the New York Yankees alive in the World Series. Selection of the chubby-cheeked fireball pitcher to toe the mound when the Series resumes at Yan kee Stadium Wednesday with the upset - minded Milwaukee Braves on the head end of a three-to-two game lead came as a major sur prise. But. according to manager Ca sey Stengel, it's merely a matter of control. Turley didn't have It Saturday when he lasted only one and two thirds innings in a game won in relief by Don (Perfect Game) Lar sen. But he had it in spades Mon day when he set down three men in a row in winding up Whitey Ford's 1-0 loss to Lew Burdette. In the game he started, the six- foot, two-inch Turley saw a pa rade of 12 hungry Braves before Larsen took over. In that time, the 220-pounder from Troy, 111., gave up three hits, one run and most distressing of all to the Yankees four walks. 'I just couldn't get it over the plate," Turley said in his. soft, quiet voice. "That's all there was to it." As for starting in the "must" sixth game at Yankee Stadium. Turley was unconcerned about the importance of the contest or the fact that he pitched Monday. I didn t work hard enough in the fifth game to make any dif ference," he said. "I only threw 10 pitches in striking out two men and getting the third man on a fly ball." In getting those five outs before he was relieved Saturday, Turley heaved 57 pitches. I was sharp with everything I threw M o n d a y," he explained. the fast ball was moving and the curve balls were going just where I wanted them to go. That's the only difference." He laughed easily. "But a big difference, I hope to tell you." It has, for years, spelled the answer to the ups and downs of Turley, who throws as hard as anybody In the major leagues with OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. In.

His wildness caused him to lead the league in bases on balls in 1954 and again in 1955, bis first season with the Yankees after be ing obtained from Baltimore. The Yankees theorized that Tur ley's only handicap was a lack of confidence. They have worked hard to build up his ego and that, in part, may explain his uncon cerned approach to the now-or-never game Wednesday. Nor does it bother him that he is pitching with short rest. "That's what I'm getting paid for, to pitch," he asserted. "May be it's a more important game, at the moment, but they're all Im portant whether you are starting or relieving. Sure, this is the game we have to win to keep the Series going but I try to win ev ery game. I never want to lose any." If he can win this next one, and get the Yankees even, they will feel that their faith in him is well repaid. He has lost two Series games and Larsen took him off the hook in another last week: Not a very impressive record. But if he has the sharpness he showed in a losing cause, the Yankees figure he'lll get the job done ' in fine fashion.

Broadway odds - makers revised their "line" after the Braves vic tory Monday to make Milwaukee a 2- 1 choice in "man to man" odds on the Series the first time since the classic began that the Braves have been named on top.
