Purdue's Tom Bettis Is Lineman Os Week INDIANAPOLIS, UP —Terrific Tom Bettis, who rallied an injurydepleted Purdue football team to a 30-0 conquest of Indiana, today was acclaimed United Press mid west lineman of the week. On paper, at least, Purdue wasn’t rated mudh chance to win this traditional, season - ending game between the two Hoosier archrivals. And with. good reason! Shoulder separations, knee injuries, and a variety of other setbacks knocked the Boilermakers for a loop since the third game of the season. Wkh the exception of a rousing 6-0 upset of Michigan State, every Saturday was a nightmare for Coach Stu Holcomb’s boys. Holcomb’s first-string backfield lost signal-caller Roy Evans, halfback Rex Brock and fullback Max Schmaling. The line had to replace Jim Wojciehowski, Dave Whiteaker, Tom ißedinger, Fred Preziosio, and Walter Cudzik — give any coach fits. But last Saturday the Riveters, left their woes at West Lafayette. Their irdn-man line refused to budge beyond Purdue’s 33-yeard stripe. They spilled ball carriers all over the turf, knocked down passes, took advantage of their rivals’ miscues and turned victory into a rout. •» Bettis was all over the field, tackling, knocking down aerials, backing up the line, and firing up his own ball carriers. “He must have made 70 percent of Purdue’s tackles,” one pressbox observer said. “Actually, that’s a bit exaggerated,” smiled Holcomb, but he admitted' Bettis played “a wonderful game.” “He was not only an inspirational leader, but he was a natural one,” Holcomb said. He also praised Bettis as “one of the best linebackers I’ve ever had.” Holconrb thought Bettis’ main asset is his ability to the ball carrier and his “knack to be at the right place at the right time.’’ Bettis was lifted from Saturday’s game with a few minutes still to go. When the husky guard, his No. 65 jersey grimy from the heat of battle, returned to the bench he was given a standing ovation. When it was all over Bettis rushed onto the field, grabbed the ball and handed it to his coach. “I wanted him to keep it.” Holcomb said, "but Bettis wouldn't have it.” . \ In the dressing room Bettis said. “We were ready. All the boys played a fine game.”

Walt Alston New Manager At Brooklyn (BROOKLYN, N. Y. UP — Walt Alston, who played only one day of major league l>aseball, today was named to manage the Brooklyn Dodgers in 195*4. He succeeds Chuck. Dressen, who after leading the Dodgers to two successive National League pennants, was let out when he demanded a three-year contract. Alston, who will be 42 next Tuesday, played his only day in the majors as a first baseman for the Cardinals in 1936. Johnny Mize was the Cards’ regular baseman at the time and was too firm'.y entrenched in the job for Alston to supplant him.' However, he was a successful manager for the Dodgers’ minoleague farm teams at St. Paul in the American Association and Montreal in the Internationa League. Alston, a native of Hamilton, Ohio, who attended Miami University of Ohio, is a 6-foot-2, athletic-ally-built 220-pounder. Walter O’Malley, president of the Dodgers, made this simple announcement to a large gathering of newsmen, photographers and newsreel cameramen at the club’s offices: . “Gentlemen, our new manager, Walter Alstoh.” Last season Alston led the Montreal Royals to victory in the International League playoffs. The Royals then went on to beat the Kan sas City Blues of the American Association, four Janies to one, ;in the “Little World Series.” In 'fiis four seasons as manager of Montreal, the club won pennants in 1951 and 19j2, and finished sec ond in 1950 and . 1963. 'Photographers asked Alston to pose (signing a contract with O’Malley sitting next to him. “Is this a one-year contract " OLMalley was asked. “One year at a time,” O’Malley snapped back.

) —— q Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) , By Oscar Fraley 0NEW YORK, UP — A 'wave of corn belt indignation wws being directed today at Notre Deane’s Fainting Thespians, also known as. the Fighting Irish, but the worst they can be blamed with is overenthusiasm which caused them to foul up their lines. Twice in the game in which lowa was played to a 14 14 lie. Notre Dame players fortuitously came down with the vapors. This, according to the rules, causes the clock >to be stopped. Each time, Notre Dame utilised the saved seconds to score. The least savage of the screams which these fortunate fainting spells produced is a demand that something be put into the rules to tell whether an Injured player is faking. That would be awful easy, fellows. All you need at each game is a portable X-ray unit and a medico as an added starter among the officials, although considering the machinations among boxing and horse racing people this might not be absolutely sure-fire, either. Lou Little, the cautious chairman of the football coaches rules committee, didn't. want to hurt anybody’s feelings. His studied statement was that Notre Dame’s players were “completely within the rules." They were, indeed, for the rules state that an injured player may be removed — with | the clock stopped — without pen- j alty. ' Thus Frank Varrichipne proved j an opportunist of note with- his ' swooning to save the time needed ' for Notre Dame’s first touchdown. And just because the 210-pound tackle from Natick. Mass., keeled over with eye-catching elan, don’t think" he’s a sisSy. Even elephants have been known to faint. \ The eager Irish possibly overdid it the second time, kor, with clock running out. both Art Hunter and Don\ Penza keeled over simultaneously. Penza, the dramatist from Kenosha. Wis., should have had the call. He is a mere 200pounder, while Hunter goes 226 pounds and shouldn’t be cast in one of those Scarlet O’Hara roles. The danger, of course, is that at some critical pilose of a future game the entire Notre Dame eleven might try to get intp the act. Then, with the whole varsity removed perforce, the entire "one minute to play” script would have to be rewritten. Actually, the whole controversy is a cyclone in a coffee pot. Stalling to gain time can’t be any worse than stalling to kill time, which you’ll see in just about any football game all season long. The only thing It proved that, while ham is ham no matter how thin you .slice it. Notre Dame still has a fine medical school and that its actors, while willing, are strictly amateurs. .

Freshmen, Junior High Split Games The Decatur freshmen and junior high teams divided honors in a pair of hard fought games at Portland Monday afternoon.
