leading rusher, and veteran Leroy
Phelps, will have a solid group of
halfbacks in 1958. blessed with
peed, running and passing ability
plus a toughness on defense.
Only one regular, Charlie Tour
ville, returns from what was the
best backfield in the west last
fall, but Tourville, who will play
either right or left half, will have
plenty of help from three other

St. Paul Bid
Starts Battle
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPD
St. Paul's bid for a major league
baseball franchise is "just whis
tling in the dark," a Minneapolis
councilman said Saturday in pre
dicting the Washington Senators
would sign with Minneapolis next
week.
The fight between the Twin
Cities developed early today as the
councils of both cities voted on
measures to finance expansion of
municipal ball parks for use by
major league teams.
Minneapolis Councilman Kent B.
Youngdahl, a leader in the fight
to bring a major league team o
the Mill City, said, "no major
league team would ever go to St.
Paul because it is the smaller of
the two cities. At no time has the
Washington management ever se
riously considered moving to St.
Paul."
A 9-million dollar bond issue to
expand Municipal Stadium in Min
neapolis was approved Saturday by
the city council but ran aground
In the city's Board of Estimate
which must give the measure final
approval.
Youngdahl predicted the board
would approve the measure at a
meeting Tuesday.
"Shortly after the bonds are ap
proved, the Washington manage
ment will announce that the Min
neapolis offer is acceptable and
at the Sept. 9 meeting of th e
American League in Chicago,
Washington will ask to have its
franchise moved here," Youngdahl
said.
The Senators had next to noth
ing to say after a family-gathering
tvpe board meeting Friday in
Washington.
"There was no discussion, nc
action and no vote taken on mov
ing the franchise," Senator pub
lie relations director Herb Left
caid.
The club's president, Calvin Grif
fith, said he felt club officials had
to "mull this thing over" for
awhile.
We re still feeling our way
around and it would be pointless
for us. in the present situation,
as undecided as we are, to vote
for a move." he said.
But the Twin City courting cam
paign remained in full blast.
JC last fall, Dave Grayson and
Allee Nowden from San Diego JC,
Terry Cagaanan of West Contra
Costa JC, and Dick Grover of
Orange Coast JC provide adequate
backfield strength.
With Tourville at rifc, half and
West on the left side, u.j Ducks
will have an explosive pass-run
combination for another year.
Tourville completed seven of 12
passes last fall for 114 yards and
two touchdowns besides rushing for
321 yards. Westt slowed early in
1957 by infected wisdom teeth, is
a good pass receiver, throws the
ball well and averaged 3.7 per
carry.
Read, a senior two-year letter
man, and Laudenslager, a junior,
will stay at right half, while Gu
mina, McKinney, Grayson and
Nowden will join West at left
half.
Gumica, held out of the 1957
season, is a good defensive back,
and McKinney, a quick, nimble
runner, was the sparkplug of the
Duckling squad two years ago.
Donn Taucher, a former Klam
ath Falls high school and Shasta
Junior College quarterback, is ex
pected to add speed and depth to
the Ducks' halfback position.
Taucher, also a fine baseball pros
pect, has a good arm and with
his speed might be counted on for
Casanova's pass-run optional play.
The rugged job of replacing
Jack Morris, Oregon's second best
ground gainer over a three-year
period, falls to one of three Web-
foot fullbacKs when practice opens
Monday including one of Morris'
understudies last season:
Marian Holland, who averaged
5.6 yards per carry while relieving
Morris and graduated Chuck
Osborne, is Casanova's top candi
date for the position, while Dave
Powell, a junior with experience
at fullback, end and center, and
rookie Harry Needham from Ante
lope Valley JC provide additional
backing.
Holland's job won't be an easy
one. Morns, besides rushing lor
611 yards including a record
breaking individual mark of 212
against Southern California, was
also the Duck's second best scorer
with 43 points. Osborne, too, will
be missed after averaging 4.3
yards per carry and handling de
fensive assignments well.
But if Holland can combine a
running talent with his own defen
sive capabilities which have al
ready been proven in past con
tests, the spot could prove to be a
minor problem. Holland, an out
standing blocker, filled in well as
a linebacker last fall and finished
with 63 playing minutes.
Powell played a year at full
back with the Ducklings in 1956,
was shifted to end early in 1957
and wound un as a center at the
conclusion of the season. He is a
rugged defensive man, doing a
good job of linebacking.
Needham, a junior tnis year.
was Antelope Valley s 1957 most
valuable player and captain, and
at 190 pounds will be the Web-
foot's biggest fullback.
Fraley's
Facts,
And Figures
By OSCAR FRALEY
NEW YORK (UPD - Fearless
Fraley's facts and figures:
The New l ork Yankees and
Milwaukee Braves, with only the
formality of finishing the season
ahead of them, already are seri
ous about the World Series and
are scouting each other for the
big October rematch.
Bill Skiff and Johnny Neun are
inspecting the Braves and Wid
Matthews and Ted McGrew are
charting the Yankee moves. Both
have tough jobs in trying to come
up with tiny nuggets of weakness
which may pay off during the clas
sic.
There is little which isn't known
to each league concerning the
strengths and weaknesses of their
rivals. This is due to the great
inter-league migrations of players
and coaching personnel. And if
Lew Burdette has another series
like the last one, what can the
Yankees do but close their eyes
and swing?
THE COACHES WORRY
College coaches are more con
cerned, strangely enough, with the
new college grid rule allowing the
use of only one arm in blocking
than they are about the one or
two-point extra point option.
Penalties have been terrnic in
practice games," says Ben Sch
wartzwalder of Syracuse. "A man
coming at you fakes you into rais
ing both arms because a player
naturally throws up an arm to
protect himself.
In most games, the scoring
margin is usually decisive, he
adds in discussing the option of
one point by kicking or two for
unning or passing the extra point.
'A surprisingly small percentage
of games are decided by one
point." . . .
Some fight buffs think that Bar
ney Ross made a mistake in tak
ing over Frankie Ryff's manageri
al reins. Ryff is a bleeder mean
ing that he culs easily, and was
told by his former manager, Char
ley Black, that he had become too
cautious and should retire.
WORRIED ABOUT SOUCHAK!
Jackie Burke, the golfer, and
restaurateur Toots Shor were
moaning recently over the two
year victory drought of Big Mike
Souchak.
"One of us ought to tell him
he's over-golfed and ought to quit
for awhile, analyzed Burke.
"Yeah." Shor nodded. "He can't
ever hope to win unless he does.
While they were talking. Bi g
Mike was in the process of breez

MALMOE. Sweden (UPD His
coach claims Herb Elliott needs
long rest, but the wonderous
Aussia runner keeps breaking the
four-minute mile barrier just for
the fun of it.
Elliott, who lowered the world
1.500-meter record to 3:36 Thurs
day night at Gothenburg, came
back Friday night to win a spe
cial mile race in 3:58. It was his
ninlh sub-four-minute mile in as

Following Elliott s latest record-
breaking performance at Gothen

must get some rest ... he may
lose his form if he's running too
much."
However, hurrying Herb didn't
look like a tired man here Friday
as he ran away frnm a classy
