Score All Set To Hurl Opener For Cleveland By JOHN GRIFFIN United Presi Sports Writer Herb Score, the, Cleveland Indians’ left-handed flamethrower, is ready to start shooting for a third straight major-league strikeout crown on opening day, if the Indians want him. Showing no bad effects from the swollen right knee that has,bothered him during sprihg training, the 23-year-old, 20-game winner at last showed regular-season form Wednesday night as he pitched seven shutout innings and fanned seven batters in a 4-1 triumph over the Giants at Miami. Score’s sizzling job against the Giants was doubly satisfying for him. For one. it came after some of his hometown fans from Lake Worth, Fla., honored him before the game with a silver plate. For another, it came a few hours after Giants’ manager Bill Rigney had rated his own lefty Johnny Antonelli as a better pitcher than Score. ’ Allows Twe Hits

Score allowed the Giants just two hits in his seven innings and Don Mossi, who followed yielded one — Willie Mays’ 10th homer of the spring for the Giants’ only run. Cleveland scored’ all its four runs in. the first inning against Pete Burnside on five walks, a wild pitch, and George Strickland's two-run single. Score's showing was in contrast to a weak effort by the Yankees' southpaw ace and opening-game pitcher Whitey Ford, who was driven out by Savannah of the Sally League after allowing four runs, seven hits, and five walks in seven innings. Don Drysdale became the first Brooklyn pitcher to go nine innings as he blanked the Milwaukee Braves, 5-0, on four hits and fanned five. I Battle Os Homers Elsewhere. Homers by Ted Williams (his third) and Dick Gernert paced the Red Sox to a 6-3 win over the Phillies, despite homers by Ed Bouchee and Chico Fernandez. Bill Virdon of the Pirates boosted his spring batting mark to .420 with three hits in a 3-2, 10-inning win over Detroit. Homers by Sherm Lollar, Ron Northey, and Larry Doby led the White Sox to a 9-7 win over the Cardinals. Ex-Yankee Rip Coleman yielded just one run in seven innings for Kansas City in a 4-2 win over Little Rock. Bob Rush, the Cubs’ opening-game pitcher,

was rapped for 11 hits in six innings in a 7-3 loss to Baltimore and Don Hoak continued his good spring play for Cincinnati with thrte hits and two stolen bases in a 6-2 victory over Washington.

College Grid TV Schedule Is Announced NEW YORK (UP) — College football fans, who take their action in the comfort of their homes via television, can look forward to an attractive program next fall which includes such top-flight games as Oklahoma-Notre Dame and Army-Navy. The National Broadcasting Co. announced the schedule of 1957 games which it will televise nationally on eight Saturdays along with . a Thanksgiving Day setup which will include three games piped regionally. Four other Saturdays will be devoted to region-ally-telecast games which wifi be announced at a later date. The schedule begins on Sept. 21 with Texas A&M vs. Maryland at Dallas and closes on Dec. 7 with Miami vs. Pittsburgh at Miami, Fla. There are two open dates on the schedule, Oct. 19 and Nov. 2. but they have been reserved for Big Ten games which will be determined by the conference as the Big Ten race develops. The schedule was worked out jointly by NBC and the NCAA television committee. The schedule: Sept. 21: Texas A&M vs. Maryland at Dallas, Tex. Sept. 28: Stanford vs. Northwestern at Palo Alto, Calif. Oct. 5: California vs. Michigan State at Berkeley, Calif. Oct. 19: Big Ten game. Nov. 2: Big Ten game. Nov. 16: Oklahoma vs. Notre Dame at Norman, Okla. Nov. 28: Brown vs. Colgate at Providence, R.I. (East); Denver vr. Wyoming at Denver, Colo. (West); Texas A&M vs. Texas at College Station, Tex. (South, Southwest and Midwest), Nov. 30: Army vs. Navy at Philadelphia. Dec. 7: Miami vs. Pittsburgh at Miami, Dickens Emphasizes Proper Conditioning BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UP)—lf Phil Dickens’ physical fitness program pays off, Indiana's 1957 football club will be a fast-moving 4 ‘None'bf the boys can afford to carry around those extra pounds,” said the first-year coach. “One of our objectives is to get each one down to his best playing weight and keep him there through the summer.” .Thus, Dickens is putting the emphasis on exercise, steady dieting, and more exercise. "We need more overall team speed and the boy who is overweight can’t give it to us,” he said. Already, some remarkable changes were noticeable. Jim Yore, a halfback converted* to wing-back in Dickens’ singlewing system, ballooned to 247 pounds during the winter. His playing weight last year was 227. He’s down to 223 now and still losing weight. f “There's no reason why Jim can’t play at 210 next fall,” said backfield coach Wilbur Stevens. “He’ll have just as much power and a lot more speed, quickness and endurance.” Tackle John Sungail’s weight has dropped from 262 to 242, and many other players have lost 10 pounds or more in spring drills. "We’re going to insist that each player report for early practice in the fall at his best weight,” said Dickens. “We’ve got too much to get done to be spending conditioning.” If a*player reports overweight in August he'll lose strength if he has to lose the extra poundage in a hurry, explained Dickens. As for changing the Hoosiers’ style from ’Split-T” to the singlewing, Dickens noted “some substantial progress.” “We re still in that stage where a boy has to think of what he is to do before he does it,” said Dickens, “but it’ll come to him.” Adverse weather has hampered the Hoosiers’ spring training so much they “haven’t done a thing about kicking and just “barely touched” on pass offense and defense,” the coach said.

Ford, Snead Favored In Greensboro Open GREENSBORO, N.C. (UP) - Doug Ford, the new Masters golf champion, sets out to break Sam Snead’s domination of the 815,000 Greater Greensboro Open Tournament, iwhich starts Thursday with a field of 125 pros. Snead, who has won this tournament six times, shared the favorite’s role with Ford following their duel for the Masters title at Augusta, Ga. ■ Ford, the winter circuit’s leading money winner with more than $25,000 in the bank, beat par by six strokes Sunday to overtake Snead and capture first place money. The swarthy New Yorker fired a four-round total of 283 to Snead’s 286. But Sam has won the tournament here for the past two years and he has bankrolled more than $14,000 in once-a-year visits. . “I really want this one,” Snead said when he arrived here with his golf clubs, fishing gear and a trumpet. “If I can take the Greensboro, it will be my 100th PGA victory.” Swinging Sam won his first PGA event in Oailand, Calif., back in 1937. Most of the winter tour’s top money winners were entered, including chunky Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, Pa., the former National Amateur titlist and Wake Forest College star who took the Azalea Open at Wilmington, N.C., two weeks ago; Marty Furgol; Stan Leonard of Vancouver, 8.C.; Jay Hebert, Lafayette, La., and Art Wall Jr., Pcono Manor, Pa. Daye Moore Wins Over 6il Cadilli MIAMI, Fla. (UP) — Stubby Davey Moore looked with a battered eye at the featherweight title Thursday, but admitted he had a “mighty long haul to get there” in spite of his impressive upset victory over Gil Cadilli at Miami’s Biscayne Arena. “I’ll just keep on fighting until some day, bingo, I’ll be up there fighting fbr the championship. That’s what I want,” said Moore. The Springfield, Ohio, Negro threw everything but the ring posts at his Los Angeles opponent in the 10 - round television bout Wednesday night. He had control frorq the start and never let up. A nationwide teievision audience was 'disappointed at a !Sst midute change which cancelled plans for announcing the round-by-round scoring of the bout over the television network. TV authorities said they would rather try out the system on a local basis instead of over a national hookup. Cadilli, seventh-ranked featherweight; was the favorite going into the fight, but his touted speed and footwork could not match the blockbuster punches hurled at him by the Ohio fighter. Cadilli proved he could stand up and take it. In , spite of the beating, he never went down and was fighting for all he was worth at the final bell. Decatur Golf Course Plans Weekend Play The Decatur Golf course will be dry enough for play this weekend if no hard rains or snow occur before then, Luke Majorki, pro manager, said today. Majorki and new owner Everett “Qiick” Monroe said today that the official opening will be postponed until nicer weather. It was originally planned for last Saturday. r Milk Maid J CHICOPEE. MaM. Chicopee’s lady “milknian” has been “kicked upstairs" after more than two decades. Mrs. Kathryn'V. Partyka retired from delivering milk through all kinds of weather, and took over the dairy books to keep herself busy. ✓
