Buckeyes Lose 12 Veterans Off Grid Team COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPD—Coach of the year Woody Hayes, who ramrodded Ohio State to the nation’s top spot in football last year, wilt have lots of problems when he opens, drills on Labor Day. But mixed with Hayes’ gloom at losing 12 veterans from his national champs is one very big reason for Cheerful whistling — Bob White, a, mild-mannered juggernaut from Covington. Ky. The ; 6-3 - bundle of bone and muscle was swash-buckling as a sophomore. He played cen t e r, guard, linebacker — whenever a defensive stone wall was needd. Then Hayes indulged a whim and let White carry the ball. White immediately served notice he was nudging the team’s cocaptain out of the starting fullback "role. Against Purdue, White slam-banged his way for better than five yards per carry. Then, with sparky halfback Don Clark out of action with an injury, White plaved even greater football. . The lowa Hawkeyes came to Columbus with one of the toughest lines in the nation. The beefy Hawks had yielded only an average 89 yards rushing per game. But Bob White, at 212 pounds, bulldozed his way through the tough Hawks for 157 'yards in 22

tries. He played 53 minutes of the game. Late in the fourth quarter he carried the ball seven out of eight times for 66 of the 68 yards needed ‘to score the touchdown that gave OSU a great come-from-behind win. The touchdown clinched the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl for Ohio. He ended the season with 553 yards, gained at an average of 6 ■ yards per carry. He lost only one yard. ‘."lhat was a draw play, I think,” White said. "Maybe against Purdue. I’m not sure."

Rest Rooms Started At Worthman Field Construction was * started this morning on the new rest rooms at Worthman field by the Arnold Lumber Co., of this city. The revised plans will furnish a block building approximately 14’ x 20’ feet, located about five feet from the northwest corner of the present field house. The bid on the building totaled $1,725, and the plumbing and electrical bids came to $1,270, making the total cost of the building $2,995. Higher bids received were from the Tri-State Builders of Fort Wayne, and the Hakes Cabinet Co., of near Pleasant Mills. Total costs on the original plans ran almost $6,000. Kenneth Arnold, in charge of construction, has expressed his hope to have the building done as soon as possible. Steel doors for both sections of the building are not immediately available, but it is hoped that frames can be secured so that the construction of the building and installation of the plumbing can go ahead. With football season coming up, the contractor is hoping for a break in the weather for quick construction. These facilities will make Decatur one of the few cities in the area where they are available. Auburn recently constructed a new field hdusewithfestroomsin it. and Columbia City will h a v-e new facilities this fall, but the only others are those that have the football field next to the school.

Yankee Flag Two Weeks From Reality By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Internationa! The Yankees figure to clinch their pennant firsts but Yankeekiller Lew Burdette is leading a much hotter Milwaukee team toward the World Series. The “magic number” for a Yankee flag-clinching in the American League was down to just 17 today as, a result of Bob Turley's 6-2 triumph over Kansas City on Tuesday—meaning that any combination of Yankee wins and White Sox losses adding to 17 will do the trick, possibly in about two weeks. The Braves have a more modest number of 22 to shoot at as a result of Burdette’s 7-3 victory over San Francisco and probably will have to wait a little longer to unaork the champagne. But there’s no doubt at all which is the hotter club right now. You can see why Casey Stengel’s grumbling, because the Yankees nave wop only 14 and lost 13 in the month of August, a .519 pace compared to the blazing Braves' percentage of .690 on 20 wins and nine losses. Yanks Fear Him And Burdette, the man the Yankees fear most afte'r his three wins over them in last year’s Series, is the guy shoveling on the coal. His six-hitter over the Giants was his 15th win m the season—nine of them since the- mid-season All-Star Game. Tuesday’s win, which Burdette celebrated by . getting three hits himself, just about burst the Giants’ bubble for this year. It was the Giants’ eighth straight Joss to the team they were trying to beat out of the pennant, and it dropped them into third place behind the Pittsburgh Pirates, who scored a 5-3 win over St. Louis at night. In other luesday games, Robin Roberts’ four-hitter gave the Phillies a 10-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs: ex-Dodger Don Newcombe pitched 'Cincinnati to a 6-4 win over Los Angeles; Early Wynn pitched and batted the Chicago White Sox to a 5-2 victory over Washington: Baltimore nipped Cleveland, 1-0, in 12 innings. The Detroit at Boston night game was rained out. Braves Show Power At San Francisco, the Giants staged possibly their last pennant effort! whOn Willie Mays’ two-run homer in the sixth inning gave them a 3-3 tie. But then the Braves blasted four homers in the last three innings —two by Ed Mathews and one each by Del Crandall and Wes Covington — to wrap it up. Turley, the major leagues’ top winning pitcher, gained win No. 19 with his eight-hitter over the As. a team on which he now holds a 15-2 lifetime edge. At Chicago, Roberts sparked a six-run fifth-inning rally for the Phils with a bases-loaded triple. Frank Thomas’ two-run homer, his 34th, led the Pirates to their win over the Cardinals. Orioles Win In 12th At Los Angeles, Newcombe needed relief help from Brooks Lawrence in beating the Dodgers for the first time in three tries. Tuesday’s most dramatic game featured a pitching duel at Baltimore between Hal (Skinny) Brown of the Orioles and Don Ferrarese of the Indians. Brown gave up nine hits. Ferrarese only six, but the Cleveland southpaw lost when he walked Dick Williams with the bases loaded and two out in the last half of the 12th inning to force in the game’s run. At Washington, Wynn pitched a seven-hitter for the White Sox. drove in two runs with a pair of singled and scored another run after drawing a walk.

Giants Build Team For 1959 Season United Press International SAN FRANCISCO (UPD — Bill Rigney, manager of the San Francisco Giants, is involved in a fight for the 1958 National League pennant, but he is already thinking of schooling his players for 1959. “I would like to have training camp for a week next spring without letting anyone swing a bat,” Rigney said in a gabiest during the make-or-break series with the Milwaukee Braves this week. “I would like to spend the time on nothing but base running and throwing to bases. “I’ll bet we have lost eight or nine games this year by bad base running or having an outfielder throw to the wrong base.” That is the plight of a manager who has a major league club, even one in pennant contention, staffed largely with rookies. And Rigney often starts five first-year men out of the eight non-pitchers. “Some of Our rookies have too much initiative. They run when they don’t have a chance. You don’t want to discourage intiative but you have to strike a balance,” Rigney said. “I’d teach them the fundamentals of figuring out a play in advance. That way they would know what to do under any circumrookies have never thought about what they will do if such and such happens. “Another thing I’ve seen our rookies do—watch the ball when they hit to the outfield,” he said. “You should run like hell for first, make your turn and then pick up the ball. But these kids — they have hit a few home runs, so they are thinking ‘ls this another one? Instead they should be running with their heads down.” Today's Sport Parade Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD—Fearless Fraley’s reflections on sports in general: Jjf they’re really trying to find Frankie Carbo, why don’t they look in Mexico City? If’s amazing to me how those high board divers keep.from getting punch drunk. (And I don’t mean the ones in Madison Square Qarden.) If I could catch fish on a hook as easily as I catch the hook in my pants I’d be the world’s greatest fisherman. , £ All-America teams is one of the daffiest pastimes of them all. Argue all you want, but Roy Campanella always got my catching business ahead of Yogi Berra. Likes Penn State If home run hitters ride in Cadillacs, Robin Roberts oughta buy an agency. Penn State’s Nittany Lion shapes up as the king of the gridiron beats this fall. ♦ A three-foot putt has to be the toughest shot in golf. (Aside from hitting the ball straight.) It takes more guts than a burglar to parlay Bermuda shorts and a Van Dyke beard. i learned my system for picking horses from a guy who died broke and it works just as well for me as it did for him. Youngster Has Class Ace Armstrong makes the classiest moves of any new fighter since a kid named Sugar Ray Robinson. The Olympic women skiiers should do well the next time around what with the events being held in Squaw Valley. Nobody can convince me that weight-lifter Paul Anderson did the 100 in under 12 seconds—unless he was riding in a truck. Call me stubborn but. a year later, I still like the Yanks in six. If people were as discourteous in person as they are when driving, amateur boxing would be the biggest sport of them all.
