Full Weekend Card In Pro Grid Loop By International News Service The pros go at it again in the National Football League tonight, but it would take a seer with a two-headed crystal ball, a loaded rabbit’s foot and stacked deck ot fortune-telling cards to call the winners. Two arc light contests tonight, Detroit at Baltimore and Washington at Philadelphia, are a prelude to a full, four game pro slate Sunday. Baltimore is given a one-point edge over' the Lions, prompted mainly by the performance last week of rookie backs Alan Atneche and George Shaw, the latter an Oregon State bonus selection. Ameche piled up 194 yards rushing and scored once in his pro debut while Shaw tossed for a touchdown to help the Colts upset the Chicago Bears in their season opener. The Philadelphia Eagles, who stopped the Giants last week, will have their hands full trying to stop Eddie Le Baron and. the Washington Redskins. Le Baron passed for two tallies and went over once to drag the Redskins to their first win over Cleveland since 1950. In Sunday games, the New York Giants figure to be too tough for the Chicago Cardinals and the Chicago Bears are expected to rebound into the win column against Green Bay. Cleveland has another rough day in store, this time against San Francisco. The 49ers are given a three-point edge. Los Angeles and the Pittsburgh Steelers are booked for an aerial war with a nine-point edge going to the Rams.

Mistakes Mark World Series Gaines To Date By JOHN BARRINGTON (I.N.S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK (INS)—Dodger and Yankee hitters are doing some incidental research on the relative muzzle velocities with which the major leagues* most renowned firebailers throw the'high hard one. Yankee batters, after Thursday's game, were inclined to compare favorably Karl Spooney, who fanned five of them in a scoreless three-inning relief stint, with American League rookie strikeout king. Herb Score of Cleveland. They found Brooklyn's Johnny Podres pretty quick Friday, too, although they were inclined to think it partly an illusion. As Casey Stengel said: “We Just couldn't hit him, the way he mixed 'em up.” Bob Cerv, who struck out three times, said Podres’ third strike was a different pitch each time—a change-up, a curve, a fast ball. The Dodgers, for their part, were less impressed with Bob Turloy, another young man whose speed has been well advertised. “Podres was faster,” opined Roy Campanella, who belted Bullet Bob for a homer. “Turley must be faster than he was today. If he’s not, be ain’t never going to beat us. I know several National League pitchers lots faster than he was.” Mistakes count for so much in a world series. Wednesday and Thursday, the Dodgers made them. Friday, it was the Yankee. Casey Stengel was criticized for the same thing the Dodgers' Walt Alston was second-guessed about Thursday—going too long with his starting pitcher. Morgan, coming in cold, walked Pee Wee Reese on four straight pitches, bringing in another gift tally. Turley was culpabale in trying tb field the bunt by Podres that filled the bases. “Gil McDougald hollered for the ball,” he said, “but it was too late. I already was there and couldn’t do a thing about it.” Left fielder Elston Howard goofed twice in the opinion of most press box strategists — catching Carl Furillo’s fourth-inning foul fly to allow a run to come home, and on the much-discussed Jackie Robinson double in the seventh. Actually, the Yankees have used the throw-behind-the-runner technique for years, including a time or two in this series. It was dollars to doughnuts that a smart old pro like Robinson was going to take advantage of the situation some time or other to get an extra base. ' ‘ There is a lot of beef on the hoof on the field in this series. If Moose Skowran and Campanella had collided head-on when the Moose scored on Phil Rizzuto’s second-inning hit to left, the resulting crash would have been horrendous. As it was the former Purdue halfback merely brushed the ball out of the hand of Campanella, who had to come well up the third base line to take a poor throw from Sandy Amoros. The game might have taken an entirely different turn had not the ball rolled into the Dodger dugout and become dead. Otherwise, Rizzuto would have scored, too, while Campanella stood there bemused, reminiscent of Ernie Lombardi's famous “snooze” in the 1939 Cin-cinnati-Yankee series. Asked why he didn’t chase the ball, Campanella said: “Man, I didn’t know where it went.” Basketball Only One Month Away INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — It’s just a Hoosier fact of life that high school basketball never takes a back seat to any sport.

PRESIDENT HAS (Continued From Page One) the operatiou more easily. He lifted the papers into the air slightly and wrote “Dwight D. Eisenhower” with a pen that had been brought over from the White House. The lists themselves were not important as far as government affairszvye concerned. However, the fact that the President signed them was significant on two counts. 4 First, it showed that his doctors consider him well enough to carry out such chores. Second, it proved that Mr. Eisenhower is capable of exercising the executive functions required of him, as long as they do not Involve physical or mental exertion, and that there Will be no delgation aof his authority to anyone else as long as he does not suffer a relapse. There was significance too in the fact that the foreign service documents were not handed to the President until Adams had arrived from Washington, although they had reached Denver long before him. It was evidence that the Eisenhower administration's “chain command” was in full operation —that all matters reaching the President for his action are first cleared and approved by Adams. The former New Hampshire governor set up shop on the second floor of the administration building at Lowry air force base, site of the Denver White House. His office is directly across the hall from the one in which Mr. Eisenhower worked before his illness. As the President passed the critical first weak of his recuperation. Dr. Paul Dudley White, who is supervising the Chief Executive’s treatment from Boston, said Mr. Eisenhower is doing “very well.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatm

50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER Last night was another one. That's four of the five games played that the Jackets have played just as good if not better football than their opposition and still have failed to come up with a win. What it is beats us. The team is well coached, they play good and they play hard, and yet they make one or two mistakes that cost them a game. The team is pretty young—that may be part of it. Mdybe a return to Worthman field will help. The first two games at home —both next week—will be rough ones. Concordia has only lost one game—to Auburn, and Bluffton is undefeated. Bill Roth, senior halfback who has played a lot of fine football for the Jackets, suffered a dislocated finger in last night's game and will be out of the line-up for a while. He also had a bad cut on the same finger reopened. Gene Baxter got back in the game after a shoulder injury at Garrett. Fred Shott, who alternated at left half with Baxter last night, did a good job on offense and also on defense. The Jackets rolled up 11 first downs to Portland’s six—the only thing wrong with that is it didn’t make any difference on the scoreboard. Rocky Strickler gained 77 yards on the ground in 11 carries and caught one pass for seven yards. He also played the whole game, both offense and defense, and looked the best he has all year. Rock used his interference to good advantage, making three runs of 15 yards or better. Concordia is good this year—no doubt about it. They beat Garrett and lost to Auburn by only two points. If the Jackets continue to play the type of ball they've play ed lately, they’ll give the Cadets a good game. If only they can eliminate the one or two costly mistakes that have cost them several games. We’ll find out Tuesday. Father Os Three Is Given Prison Term SOUTH BEND, Ind.
