Overconfidence Hits Navy
While Other Leaders Roll
By HARRY WISMER
Written for the United Press
NEW YORK l UP I For the
most part, things went according
to Hoyle on the intercollegiate
football circuit this past week end.
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

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."

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

peak years of the two platoon
system in ls-av-si.
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.

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

Score of the Cleveland Indians.
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.
Odds Favor Braves
To Win World Series
NEW YORK (UP) The Mil
waukee Braves are now favored to
win the World Series, even though
the New York Yankees are fa
vored to win Wednesday's sixth
game at Yankee Stadium.
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.
But the Yankees are favored at
