Whips Sacred Heart Trojans
By JOHN NOLEN
Herald and News Sports Writer
"It's a good thing we started
fast," commented St. Mary's
coach Bill McKibben after watch
ing his powerful St. Mary's crew
hold off a fighting Sacred Heart
Academy squad, winning 19-7 their
fifth straight win in County B
League play of the season Friday
night in Gem Stadium.
"Sacred Heart played a terrific
second half," continued McKibben,
"but we haven't played like we
should for the last two ballgamcs."
The stubborn Trojan defense, rid
dled for three first half touch
downs by the quick-striking Cru
saders, kept the visitors outside
the 20-yard line throughout the fi
nal two quarters while threatening
to score on two separate occasions,
both in the last period.
"We've really come along the
last two games," smiled happy
SHA mentor Jerry Kempt follow
ing the game. "It was a real good
second half for our boys and the
entire team should get the credit.
It was a great team effort."
The Crusaders, minus three back-
ficld players because of injuries in
curred the past two weeks, took
the opening kickotf and romped 53
yards in eight plays for their ini
tial TD, as quarterback Bob Ev
ans hit fleet end Ron Daley 'in the
end zone with a 33-yard scoring
pass. Evans, filling in for Terry
Cooper, hit the crossbar on the at
tempted point after kick. No good
A 28-yard dash by halfback Dick
Evans sparked the second SM scor
ing drive, one that carried from
the Sacred Heart 48 in a series
of eight plays, all on the ground
Bob Evans' attempted PAT kick
was blocked and Ihe Crusaders
led 12-0 with three minutes' left

McClure scored the first KU
led 19-0 with better than 11 minutes
remaining in the half.
But the Trojan offensive went to
work and staged a sustained scor
ing drive that carried from its own

yards. Fullback Jim Ryan, who
packed the ball 26 times for
game total of 106 yards, bulled
over from seven yards out for the
TD. The seventh and final SHA
tally resulted as quarterback
George Hurley fired a pass to end
Bob Andersen.

stalled the potential scoring drive
Ryan and halfback Jerry DcNault
spearheaded the drive with ground

Hurley to end Keith Murray was
included in the drive.
A diving catch by Daley on a

NEW YORK (AP)-Nobody will
accuse Billy Hunter of being a
new Joe Louis" but he shows
promise. The best you can say
for. Tony Anthony is that he
showed up.
Even showing up was a mistake
for Anthony who became Hunter's
TKO victim in 1:04 of the seventh
round Friday night at Madison
Square Garden.
For about 10 seconds in the very
first round Anthony sparkled. He
dashed out with a left hook that
shook Hunter from choppers to
toes. That was all.
Hunter quickly recovered
waltzed Anthony to the ropes and
worked him over. It went on like
that until Referee Arthur Mercan-
te stopped it.
Tony sagged on the ropes, half
sat on the middle strand and
and ducked as many punches as
he could. Occasionally he would
rouse himself for a brief flurry,
Then he started absorbing the
punches that almost closed his left
eye and left him bleeding from
nose and mouth.

IWto Defense Crumbles,
Springfield 20-14 Winner
By WAYNE SCOTT
Herald and News Sports Editor
The combination of a 180-pound
fullback that failed to recognize
the fact that he had been tackled
and a defense that crumbled at
the most inopportune times spelled
the story of the Klamath Union
Pelicans' 20-14 defeat at the hands
of the Springfield Millers on Mo
doc Field Friday night.
Jack McCreary, a 5-9 package
containing 180 pounds of Pelican
killing pills, displayed a definite
disdain for KU defensemen as he
bombed his way for three touch
downs, two of which came in the
final quarter of the game, to lead
his team to its fourth win of the
1959 season.

McCreary made his first im
ntession on the l'cls when ne
blitzed over from the five in the
second quarter. His next two TDs
will be remembered for some time
however. The powerful Miller full
back shrugged off the clutching

paydirt, and another for 24, with
he same end result. In each case
Ihe Miller powerhouse was seem

McCreary, and halfback Gary
Brown were the chief fac

bootleg passing potential of tall
quarterback Larry King. McCrea

total of 105 yards. Brown added

Their PAT was blocked by Buch

Almost immediately after the
Millers got on the scoreboard the
Pels returned the compliment as
Hunsaker tossed a beautiful pass
that was pulled in by halfback
Blake Griggs on the SP ten.
Griggs romped into the end zone
all alone. Hancock added the point
after and the score read 14-6 at
the halfway mark.
An indication of things to come
appeared in the waning stages of
tne naif when King hit end Fred
Willis with a 21-yard aerial that
found Willis hauled up short on

In the third stanza the Pels took
off again, McClure and Hunsaker
collaborating on a drive that incor

An interchange of possession in
midfield resulted in the Millers' sec
ond score early in the final period.
King hit Johnson for 15 yards in
Ihe air, Brown added six on the
ground, Johnson sped for 15 and
they scored when McCreary loosed
his 26 yarder.
The Pels had the ball for four
plays and the Springfield eleven
took command again. Starting on
their own 20 the Millers capitalized
10 plays later when McCreary daz
zled the Pels with a 24-yard drive.
In the closing minutes of the
game KU end Wayne Dennis saw
a long pass bounce out of his eager
arms on the Miller 10. This cou
pled with an eight-yard loss by
Greg Jones and a 15 yard penalty
to spell nearly finis to KU. Pel
hopes rose when Bill Santo hauled
in a swing pass from Hunsaker and
blasted to the 15 before being
nailed, but the penalty dulled the
edge and the game ended as
Springfield grounded out a few
yards then booted the ball to tha

up a streak of 24 games without a
defeat. There was no reason to
believe they weren't loaded again.
But Tennessee nipped them at
their own game in the opener, 3-0.
Since then, Auburn has beaten
Hardin - Simmons, Kentucky,
Georgia Tech and Friday night,
the Miami Hurricanes 21-6.
But when the Tennessee game
score was posted, Auburn's stock
took a nosedive. Their victory over
Georgia Tech, which tied them
last year, pulled the Tigers back
into the top 10 in the weekly As
sociated Press poll and at the mo
ment they're in the No. 7 spot.
In the other two big games Fri
day night the Air Force Academy
upset UCLA 20-7 and Boston Uni
versity nipped Connecticut 8-7.
The Air Force, who lost their
first game in 15 starts last week
to Oregon, stuck mostly to a
ground attack in whipping UCLA.
This was a "new" Auburn team
that beat Miami. At least the Ti
gers had a new look about them.
