Michigan Is Favorite In Big Ten Race CHICAGO (INS) — Michigan’s veteran Wolverine* rate as the moat likely team to wrest Big Ten honor* from defending champion Ohio State thia year and with it top midwest college football honor*. Michigan, however, must "show cause” in one of the most cannibalistic league* in the nation — with not only Ohio State, but Purdue. Wisconsin and lowa having decisive voices in the showdown. All of the Big Ten contenders are strong and tough—with the likelihood always present that an under rated second division team might arise to stage a notable upset. The Wolverine roster shows that coach Bennie Oosterbaan has a loaded squad this year. Twentyfive lettermen are returning, spearheaded by a seasoned backfield of Lou Baldacci, Tony Branoff. Jim Maddock and Terry Barr. Dominating the Michigan line is great end Ron Kramer. Woody Hayes’ unbeaten Rose Bowl champions, Ohio State, lost valuable backfield strength through graduation and other causes. Absentees include such w'ell known names as quarterback Dave Leggett, Bobby Watkins. Hubert Bobo and point kicker Tad Weed. But the Buckeyes still have Howard (Hqpalong) Cassady, a' great all around back; big tackle Francis Machinsky, center Kenny Vargo, and giant guard Jim Parker. Should both Michigan and Ohio State wade through their formidable schedules — including nonconference foes—unbeaten and untied, their eventual meeting Nov. 19 at Ann Arbor possibly might decide the national title. Wisconsin's loss of a player such as giant fullbark Alan Arneche might be considered by outeiders as perhaps a fatal blow. But the Badgers decidedly are not left without “horses.” Charley Thoma*. a 210 pounder, has been groomed for two years as Ameche's replacement and the 4* Badgers 'bostat tWd' ftne *pkMng quarterbacks in Jim Miller and Jim Haluska. and a sturdy line. Purdue, another good Big Ten team, has ace passing quarterback Len Dawson ready tor another stellar year. Dawson has a rugged line as protection this season and line plunging Bill Murakowski as a threat lowa's powerful frontier features husky guard Cal Jones and an offense built around brilliant backs Eddie Vincent and Earl Smith. Outside the Big Ten, Notre Dame appears a problem team because of the loss of an experienced line and brainy quarterback Ralph Guglielmi. The pessimistic rate the Irish as probably losing two — maybe three — games this year. Coach Terry Brennan, starting

his second year at South Bend, must fashion a new line around guard Ray Lemek and admits he is thin on material — but not on quality. Junior Paul Hornung is being played in Guglielml's old spot. Brennaih is strong in backfield material with veterans Don Schaefer and Jim Morse returned and other backs Including Paul Reynolds, Sherlll Sipes, Dean Studer and Dick Miller ready for action. The outstanding loss in the Big Ten's “name” personnel this year is J. C. Caroline, Illinois* great Dall carrier. J. C. flunked out on a summer course —leaving his team sunk in the second division. Indiana, being rebuilt by coach Bernie Crimmins, looms as the best of the remaining teams, including Michigan State, Minnesota and Northwestern. On other fronts, Hugh Devore’s Dayton rates high in the Ohio sector which include* Miami and Cincinnati. In Milwaukee, Marquette reportedly has a good line. McMillin Memorial To Indiana U. End BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (INS) — Indiana University end Brad Bomba, studying to be a doctor, has been given the first annual A. N. (Bo) McMillen memorial scholarship. The scholarship honors the late and former 1U football coach and is presented to the footbhll ptayeP who most typifies the spirit and ideals of McMillin. - Ecuador And Peru In Border Dispute Military Mission To Probe Dispute WASHINGTON (INS) — The council of the organization of American states has decided to let a military mission from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and the U.S. investigate the latest border dispute between Ecuador and Peru. The investigation of the South American crisis will deal with charges made Thursday that Ecuador is in “imminent danger of invasion” from Peru and that Peru is “menacing the peace” of South America. The original decision to have the four guarantors of the 1942 Ecuador-Peru peace treaty make the study was made at a meeting of the four powers in Rio De Janeiro on the recommendation of the U. S. Brief, but spirited, debate between Ecuadorian ambassador Jose iE. Chiriboga and Peruvian charge d'Affaires Gonzalo Pizzarro marked the OAS emergency session Thursday night. ChiAboga claimed that “more than *20,000 Peruvian troops” have been mobilized on Ecuador’s frontier and that Peruvian warships are maneuvering near his country. Pizzarro, substituting for ambassador Juan Bautista' de Lavalie, denied the charges and another - Peruvian spokesman commented that the reported troop concentration \on the border is “larger than our entire army.”

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

While Sox And Red Sox Slip In Flag Race NEW YORK (INS) —The crisis > is here for the Chicago White Sox. Th* American League pennant I fever which has gripped them 1 since the AH Star break has left 1 them exhausted and reeling and ’ the New York Yankee* hope to count them out by the weekend. 1 The White Sox lost their fifth game in the last seven outings as - the bullpen began to show the im--1 pact of a long, tense pennant battle. The 5 (o 4 defeat at Washington dropped the Chisox 2% games behind Cleveland. The Indians continued to roil ' along with a half game lead over ’ New York by topping Baltimore. 5 to 3, in ten innings as the Yankees blasted" Kansas City, 13 to 0. The Boston Red Sox also lost valuable ground in the four power struggle to see who faces National League champion Brooklyn in the ' World Series. The 5 to 4 loss to Detroit pushed the Bosox four games behind. The Dodgers defeated Milwaukee, 10 to 2, for the earliest N. L. pennant clinching on record, surpassing in speed the Sept. 12 finish of the 1953 race, which the Brooks also won by beating the Braves at Milwaukee. New York downed St. Louis, 6 to 2, and Philadelphia beat Cincinnati, 6 to 4, in the only other games scheduled. *Our buHftZen finally bogged ; down for us and blew the game,” White Sox Manager Marty Marion (bemoaned Thursday. “Just two little innings in which we had to shut the Senators out and we couldn't do it.” The White Sox had what seemed a routine victory in the making with a 4 to 1 lead coming to the end of the sixth inning. But when starter Virgil Trucks tired, yielding a two run homer to Mickey Vernon, the bulpen couldn’t protect it. The Nats slemmed two more across in the seventh with southpaw Morrie Martin the victim. Veep Chuck Comiskey’s comment on his team's state of affairs was “Now we have to win the two games with the Yankees, or else,” Larry Doby slammed Ted Gray’s first pitch in the 10th inning for a tie breaking home run which beat the Orioles and left the Indians riding high. It was the 26th of the ye&r for the Tribe outfielder, his third in two days at Baltimore and seventh in the last seven games. Relief specialist Ray Narleski recorded his ninth win. " Bob Turley posted his loth victory and fifth shutout for the Yankees as he scattered five KC hits and fanned seven. Six of the Yankee runs were unearned with an ■ assortment of four errors, two wild pitches and a passed ball but Yogi Berra drove in six others with his 24th and 25th homers. Held to two hits by Willard Nixon for eight innings, the Tigers exploded for four runs in the ninth 1 to snap Boston's six game win streak, Charley Maxwell opened the rally with a home run and Jack Phillips ended it by scoring from third on a wild pitch by- Ellis Kinder. * The Dodgers won the pennant like Swaps beat Nashua in their match race-never headed and going away at the finish. The Brooks’ 17 game lead over the Braves is their high water mark for the year. The Dodgers rocked Bob Buhl for four runs in the first inning to make him the goat. Jackie Robinson homered later for the Dodgers. Karl Spooner pitched 5 2-3 hitless, scoreless innings and struck out nine. Bill Gardner sparked the Giants win with a homer and Wally Post hit two in vain for Cincinnati.
