Head footban coach Bob Worthman, shown here in earlier days, is one of the three men to be honored by the city of Decatur at the opening home game September 12 for their contributions to the youth of Decatur. As is evidenced by the photograph. Worthman’s interest . and participation in football is lifelong. This picture was taken when i j Worthman was five years old. 11 After graduating from Decatur I high school, where he Was an out- ; I standing lineman, Worthman went < on to play football, and attend I classes, at Ball State Teachers Col- < lege, in Muncie. From there, he 1 went into the Allen county school 1 system, and then on to*Fort Wayne 1 Central. In the fall of 1947, Bob came ' “back home” to coach at Decatur. In the following eleven seasons. Worthman has an overall record of 37 wins, 63 losses and four ties. As with all Decatur coaches, he has the problem of playing schools that Klenk's To Play At Coldwater Sunday Klenk’s of Decatur will play an exhibition game at Coldwater, 0., Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

are all larger than Decatur’s. A great developer of talent. Worthman has had numerous players picked for honors. Last season, with a three win, six loss record, three Decatur players were chibsen all-conference. At least three of Bob’s proteges have made honerabl mention all-state. 1 Less well-known, but more important than his coaching duties, are the number of boys Worthman has helped stay in school by developing in them an interest in athletics. Countless young area men have become better citizens because of the pleas or threats»of “the coach” to stay in school Worthman introduced into the Decatur system the junior high football program. Going into its 1 fifth year under the direction of 1 Floyd Reed, also a former Decatur ' athlete, the program enables grid- '■ iron aspirants to become familiar with the game in the seventh and eighth grades.

U. S. PatTofL) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Cagey old Casey Stenger, whose pride and prestige took a lacing when the Braves beat him in the 1957 World Series, is mulling over the idea of abandoning his famed platoon system when his Yankees face Le Burdette again this year. Word around the Yankee dugout these days has it that instead of loading up his batting order with left - handed hitters, as he customarily does against right-handed pitching, Case may go with rightie swingers in the hopes of breaking the spell Burdette held over the Bombers last October. Ths is the theory behind Stengel’s thinking: two of the best pitches in Burdette’s varied repertoire are his sinker and screwball, both of which break away from left - handed hitterst These are fidgety Lew's “out" pitches against lefties and they're generally rated more effective than the curve and slider he uses to get out right-handed batters. May Hit Better Those close to Casey have heard him wonder out loud in recent weeks whether his right - handed swingers might not egt a better chunk of Burdette’s curve and slider than the lefties got in three frustrating games last fall against the sinker and screwball. For one thing, the batting figures on last year's Series show Case may have something in his latest brainstorm. The Yankees’ two best hitters against Burdette in the ‘57 classic were Jerry Coleman, who went 4-for-9, and Hank Bauer, 4-for-11. Both hit righthanded. Among the left ; handers, Yogi Berra went 1- for- 11 and Mickey Mantle l-for-7, although it should be pointed out Mantle played with an injured shoulder. Defense Important There’s still another strategic reason why Stengel might prefer to use his right - handed hitters against Burdette. Any tussle with the Braves star figures to be a close game, one which could turn on a defensive error. And the right-handed hitters Stengel has available would provide him with a stronger defensive array. That would mean Hank Bauer in right field, Andy Carey at third base and Elston Howard in either

Big Ten Grid Coaches Drive Hardin Drills I f* United Press International • i University of lowa Coach Forest Eva s h e‘vs k i put his charges - through the first hard scrimmage , of the practice season Thursday i after spending the morning on . pass offense drills. The emphasis was on defense on i a wet, slippery field. Chuck Lee . moved into a second-string tackle f spot replacing Bill Scott and Jeff Langston switched with Al Miller at' left end as the second team 5 ran plays against the first line. ’ At LaFayette, Ind., Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkopf continued f to juggle the eight lettermen in r his top two backfields. Junior ‘ Ross Fichtner took over the first r squad quarterback slot from i senior Bob Spoo and Leonard Wilson swapped right halfback spots ’ with Clyde Washington. Fifst str in g tackle Andy Cvercko became Northwestern’s first casualty of the season when he pulled up with a leg injury during a light workout. Cvercko will be sidelined several days. Sophomore Jim Draper shifted from center to tackle to fill in. Injuries Take Toll Coach Milt Bruhn made wholesale lineup shifts in his reserve units during University of Wisconsin drills. Second string end Allan Schoonover dropped to the fourth squad to make way for sophomore Henry Derleth and third team cen- . ter George Chryst moved up to the second team. Ohio State co - captain Dick Schafrath moved from tackle to first string right end replacing senior Russ Bower master. Sophomore Jim Tyrer moved into the vacated tackle spot. [ Gary Prahst, University of MiI chigan end, was scratched from a , scheduled scrimmage Saturday [ with sprained knee ligaments and wgs expected to be out of action plagued with injuries last season. Michigan State, hurt by the loss for several days. Prahst was of potential All-American back Blanche Martin in spring drills, continued to avoid heavy workouts. Coach Duffy Daugherty said rugged drills would not start until next week. Weather Hits Two Ways Coach Murray Warmath ran his Minnesota squad through fundamental drills in an effort to sharpen his predominantly sophorhore team. Warmath called a scrimmage for Saturday with the possibility that some of the second year men might break into the Gopher traveling squad. Heat and heavy contact work cut into the Notre Dame squad as Coach Terry Brennan ran his charges through rough drills in preparation for the Sept. 27 opener against Indiana. Temperatures were in the 80s as sophomore end Mike Baer dropped out of the Workout. First string center Bob Scholtz and second string fullback Ron Toth both came up with knee injuries. Top left half Frank Reynolds had a sprained ankle. All were expected to be out about a week. A Rain brought welcome relief to University of Illinois squads as a 90-degree morning workout hospitalized senior end Ron Hill. Larry Lavery, sophomore tackle, was also hospitalized with a mild concussion during a contact drill early in the day. left field or behind the plate. Howard is rated defensively a better catcher than an outfielder, but Stengel may choose to go with the more experienced B rr a, whose hitting has improved considrably during the second half of the season.
