Iowa Retains Top Ranking In Poll; By THE ASSOCUTED PRESS The Iowa Hawkcyes, who set their own pace in a 28-7 season opening victory over California last Saturday, set it well enough to retain the No. 1 spot in the . weekly Associated Press college football poll. Twenty-four of the 49 members of the AP board of experts cast their first-place ballots for the Hawkeyes of the Big Ten. With! plenty of secondary support from the other voters, they wound up ' with 424 points and a clear edge over Mississippi. The Rebels, also No. 2 a week ago, wound up with IB first-place votes and 325 points. Ole Miss whipped Kentucky 20-6 for its second in a row. Georgia Tech, noticed but un ranked after clouting Southern California 27-7 in its first game, bolted up to third place after thumping Rice 24-0. A chance for measuring com parative strength will come Satur day, when Iowa plays Southern Cal at Los Angeles. Georgia Tech fans will be interested to see whether Iowa' can handle the Trojans with anywhere near the ease that the Engineers did 10 days ago.

On the eve of the autumnal ex travaganza known as the World Series all the commotion seems to be about the New York Yankees perennial American League nominee, who'll face the National League champion, the Cincinnati Reds, in the opener of the best of-seven set Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. Those nebulous figures who compile the betting odds have the Yankees favored at 24 to 1. That mass of citizenry which suddenly becomes baseball conscious at se ries time knows all about redoubt able Roger Maris and his 61 home runs, Mickey Mantle's celebrated ailing hip and his home runs. Whitey Ford's prodigious pitching and probably about Elston How ard's high batting average. This preoccupation with the Yankees is reflected in the press, radio and television. It's Yankees, Yankees, Yankees. There is tajk of a four-game sweep, such as the Yanks staged against the Reds the last time the two clubs met in 1939. The poor Reds. You'd hardly know tney were in town. But they are. They'll show up ready to face the awesome Mans & Co. and they don't appear to be quaking in their boots at the prospect. Their manager, hefty and com bat-spirited Fred Hutchinson, put it this way: "It'll be a helluva fight. I've read we're supposed to lose, maybe in four straight. Well, I haven't told my players. Games are won on the field, anyway, not in the papers or on the radio or in television booths." Hutchinson concedes the Yan kees have the pitching and the fielding, and he s impressed but not overwhelmed by the Yankee power. Then he counters with the Reds' assets hitters like Frank Robinson. Vada Pinson, Gordy Coleman, Gene Freese and Wally Post; pitchers such as Joey Jay, lim O'Toole, Bob Purkcy, hen Johnson and Jim Brosnan. As for the' odds. Hutchinson says: So, we re z'z to l unaer- dogs. Last spring it was as high as 60 to 1 we woulrin t win the pennant. But we did."

Klamath 'Mick' Remains Doubtful Starter In Series By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP!-The guess here is that Mickey Mantle will be on the sidelines and Roger Maris will be in centerfield when the New York Yankees face the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday in the first game of the World Series. There is divided opinion among the Yankees whether "The Mick", as his teammates call him, will he ready (or the opener. The slugging centerfielder left the'hos- pital Monday, looking pale, drawn1 and underweight after undergoing a minor operation for an abscess on his right hip. I'm very concerned." admitted Yankee Manager Ralph Houk. YOGI BERRA . . . now, he's a writer Berra Slated To Appear In Left Field For Yanks Editor's Note: Here is I Yogi Bcrra's first newspaper story, written exclusively for The Associated Press. The famous New York Yankee catcher, who holds more World Series records than any other man, will write for AP afternoon papers through- lout the series. By YOGI BERRA Written for The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) Don't laugh. I might just as well be come a sports writer. Didn't Casey Stengel start out as a left handed dentist? And didn't John ny Ncun, an old Baltimore socker writer, become manager of the Cincinnati Reds? You could look it up. I got that expression trom being around Stengel in so many World Series. Alter all he called me his assist ant manager. I heard him tell it to his writers a few times. Casey used to'ask me about the pitchers. I guess it helped some. Look at how long Whitey Ford has been around. Remember Whitey broke in at a tough time against Vic Rashi (21 wins), Ed Lopat (21) and (17i and he won his first World Scries start against the Phillies . . ... . I in 1950.

Tuesday, "Right now he's in pain and he can't run at all. 1 look for him to improve but I've got to play it by car. I'm going to leave it up to him. I certainly am not going to rush him. "Even if he plays, he'll prob ably be stiff and sore. But I'd rather have a not altogether well Mantle than no Mantle at all." Dr. Sydney Gaynor, the Yanks' physician, was more optimistic. "I think he II play In the first game," said Dr. Gaynor. "Know ing Mickey and how well he re sponds to treatment, I'd have to bet he'll play. He has amazing recuperative powers." What does Mantle think?. and Mickey Mantle did this year in helping us Yankees set home run records, I'd like to comment on the fine job Ralph Houk did as our manager. Here Is a follow who went to bat only twice in World Series action. And he tried to take my job as a catcher on the Yankees. He never quit try ing and look where he is today. Why, now I'm not even his as sistant manager. He did it all himself. So not only did I lose that job this year but also my job as No. 1 catcher on one of the greatest teams in baseball. We hope to prove that in the World Series starting Wednesday In Yankee Stadium. I'll be out in left field, and fel las have said It's the toughest po. sit ion on the team in October when those late afternoon sha' dows.secm to hide the ball.

"I'm still weak, the leg hurts and I can't run on it. I've lost five pounds, too." Maris, who visited Mickey in the hospital Sunday night after making baseball history y blast- ing his 61st home run, was not so sure whether his slugging teammate would be ready. Mick's, pretty sick," Roger said. "Nobody wants to see him in the lineup more than I but he's hurting. You know Mick. He hates to sit one out. He'd play on one leg, if he could. But he just can t run. If Mantle has to sit out the opener, Mans will be switched from right field to center with Hector Lopez taking over in right and batting seventh. Maris, of course, will be in the third slot with Elston Howard in Mantle's cleanup spot. Roger has no particular love for centerfield, where he played oo casionally when he was a menv ber of the Cleveland and Kansas City clubs. He also played there during the last 10 days of the past season when Mantle was sidelined by a heavy cold and the abscess. 'I didn't like It at first," Roger said, "but I'm getting accustomed to it. Of course, I can't play that position like Mantle, but the more I play there, the easier I find It." Swan Going To Honolulu MOUNT SHASTA - Norman Swan, native Mount Shaslan and son of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Swan. has been notified that he will be pitching for Honolulu in the Pad. fic Coast League In 1962. His con tract is owned by the Kansas City Athletics. The young 6-foot, 2-inch athlete who weighs 212 pounds, worked for Albuquerque in the Sophomore League in 1961.

Maybe it will get bcllor quicker than I think. Mantle's dour outlook was not shared by the Yankees' team physician, Dr. Sydney Gaynor, or by Houk. "Of course he feels weak and sore," said Dr, Gaynor. "He has a wound that must heal. Knowing Mickey and how he responds to treatment, I think he'll play." Houk said he would not scratch Mantle from the lineup until lust before game time, Sure, Mickey Isnt feeling right," said Houk. "But that's to be expected.

Well, we surprised peo ple all season, and it's likely that we have one big one left." Most observers figure the only chance the Reds' have of spring ing the same kind of upset as the Pittsburgh Pirates engineered last year is for their pitchers to squash ths Yankee long-ball hit ters. The Reds will depend on O'Toole, Joey Jay and Bob Pur key, along with two fine relievers Jim Brosnan and Bill Henry. Ken Johns on, a knuckleballer, also will be available in relief. Defensively the Reds, who wern picked to finish fifth or sixth in this year's pennant chase, have nothing to measure up to the Yanks. They say," laughed Freese, "you have to have strength down the middle to win a pennant. Look down our middle. You have to look 350 feet from home plate (to Pinson) to find strength.
