Jackets Open Football Card Friday Night : The Decatur Yellow Jackets football team baa been busy the last week loading the shells for an assault on the Auburn Red Devils at Auburn Friday night at 7:30. Physically, barring the usual bumps and bruises, the team is in good shape. Larry Moses was sutT sering from a twisted ankle last week, but is back in good tunning condition. Fred Schott has been absent from some recent practices, but the reason is unknown. Bob Ranks has a bad leg that may keep him from seeing too much action Friday. The Jackets, as a team, will have to asuine an added responsibility. in the absence of head coach Bob Worthman. Assistant coach Jerry belts and former assistant Deane Dorwin have assumed the coaching duties in Worthman’s absence. While both of these men are students of the game, and coaches as well as teachers, neither has ever held the position of head football coach. The Job, which is rough under the best of conditions, has been dropped on them without any forewarning. One encouraging fact is the experience of this year’s team. The boys have had enough football ground into them in past years to

Auburn, in years past, has been strictly a single-wing team. The old power end runs were put to excellent use and effect by former Red Devil coaches. This year’s Auburn attack* is not known, but from past seasons of their new i coach, it is believed that the i northern team will run from the • split-T.

Redlegs Beal Braves, Cut Game Off Lead , . By MILTON RICHMAN (United Press Sports .Writer) Birdie Tebbetts made a bum guess when he said Frank Robinson would hit 15,homers this year and it could be that the canny Cincinnati skipper will gladly eat that prediction complete with pennant trimmings. Robinson connected for his 37th homer Tuesday night and the blow touched off a two-run rally in the 10th inning that gave the Redlegs a 4-2 victory over Milwaukee and boosted them within 2>4 games of the National League lead. “I was, trying not to be overoptimißticttbis spring when I said that Robinson would hit 15 homers.” Tebbetts says, “but the way things have turned out it could be the understatement of the year.” Robinson's homer, off reliever Ernie Johnson, left him only one shy of the all-time rookie record of 38 set by outfielder Wally Berger of thb Boston Braves in 1930. Following the homer, singles by Ted Kluszewski, Wally Post and Ed Bailey provided the -Redlegs with an Insurance marker. The victory went to hard-work-ing Hershell Freeman, who relieved starter Hal Jeffcoat when he was forced to leave the game with a pulled leg muscle after retiring the side in the eighth. Freeman's record is no*' 12 victories and four defeats. Cincinnati broke up a pitching duel between Jeffcoat and rookie Taylor Phillips with two runs in the sixth but the Braves bounced back to tie the score with four hits in the eighth. That’s the way matters stood until Robinson broke the tie in the 10th. In the only other National League game scheduled, veteran Max Surkont of the Giants hurled a six-hitter for a 7-2 victory over the Phillies. Surkont and loser Harvey Haddix were locked in a 1-1 tie until Foster Castleman homered in the seventh inning. The Giants pushed across another run in the seventh and then added spur more in the ninth. Kansas City dropped Cleveland nine games off the American League pace by defeating the Indians, 5-2, with a 10-hit attack. SouthpawHerb gcore, tagged for Kansas City’s flrat three runs, suffered his ninth loss against 15 victories while Jack Crimian scored his third triumph although Art Ditmar pitched the final two innings. The White Sox clouted four Tiger pitchers for 13 hits in beating Detroit, 11-4. In addition to posting his 10th victory and sixth in a row, right-hander Dick Donovan chipped in with a three-run homer. Ted Lepcto’s 14th homer to lead off the 12th inning gave the Red Sox a 7-6 victory over the Senators. Lepcio's homer, his ninth in Boston’s last 18 games, came off Bud Byerly, who had retired 11 men in a row before the wallop. The league-leading Yankees and Orioles were idle. -T.7 -• n. •.

Big Ten Gridders Conduct Scrimmage By UNITED PRESS Several Big Ten football squads ran through first scrimmages as coaches stressed pass offense and defense in earl£ practice sessions. Coach Ray Eliot ran the University of Illinois squad through its first heavy contact session Tuesday. Harry Jefferson and Bob Mitchell were consistent gainers on the first four teams which ran against elevens made up from the remainder of the squad, r The University of lowa Hawkeyes concentrated on pass defense and held a brief contact session. First string guard Frank Bloomquist was held at the hospital for observation of a suspected case of flu. Tafckle Dick Klein dressed for practice, but didn’t participate because of a bruised knee. Minnesota ran through its first scrimmage. Coach Murray Warmath pronounced the practice session as “drab,” and said he figured the scrimmage might pep up the squad. Sophomore Bob Soltis scored on a 60-yard run and had other large gains for the first string backfield. The Wolverines Os Michigan conducted their first scrimmage also. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan used three units in the 45-minute workout. The first string included AllAmerican end Ron Kramer and Capt. Tom Menta, also an end. Northwestern worked on pass offense and defense. Coach Ara Parseghian gave four quarterbacks a chance to show their passing skill and letterman Dale Pieta looked like the team's best. StaffDwyer was promoted from the reserve squad to left end on the first team. Photographers occupied much of the ttmfe for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Big Jim Parker, senior guard and an All-America prospect, was the cameramen’s main target. A brief session was spent on passing, punting and blocking. Blocking, pass offense and defense were stressed in the football camp of the University of Indiana squad. Standouts on pass defense were halfbacks Barry Johnson and Jim Powell. Dan Holland was converted to the No. 2 guard spot behind senior John Gentile. Light non-contact work featured drills for the Wisconsin Badgers, with the accent on the running game. Tackle John Heineke and halfback Bob Mansfield were out of action with leg bruises. Veteran tackle Fred Preziosio, 248-pound senior who returned from military service recently, packed up and left Purdue’s football quarters. Coach Jack Mollenkopf said Preziosio failed to report Tuesday and whs found he had checked off the champus. A letter winner in 1951 and 1952, Preziosio had been assigned tentatively to the No. 2 team. Last year’s Big Ten champs — Michigan State — also conducted its first scrimmage Tuesday. Coach Duffy Daugherty said halfbacks Clarence Peaks and Walt Kowalczyk turned in sparkling performances. Each broke loose for long runs. Coach Terry Brennan continued conditioning workouts for his ffredominantly sophomore Notre Dame squad. He made two line switches, however, moving 200pound full-back Chuck Lima to guard and 215-pound sophomore end Bob Wetoska tb tackle.

Plans Drawn For Possible Playoff In National Loop CINCINNATI (UP) — Just 10 years after the first pennant playoff in major league history, plans were drawn up today for a threeway National League elimiiiation derby in the event that Milwaukee, Brooklyn, and Cincinnati finish in a dead heat. President Warren Giles of the National League, openly rooting for the triple tie, wrote the scenario for what could be baseball's maddest thriller since Frank Merriwell was graduated from Yale. If the triple tie should occur, there would be a series on the home grounds of the team involved as soon as it was “physically possible." Giles, by league rule, would be designated to draw lots.
