Yanks And Braves Given Authority To Print Tickets CHICAGO (UPI) — The New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves, experienced hands at this game, today cranked up the printing presses for 1958 World Series tickets. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick gave the Yanks and Braves ticket authority Monday. He said if any other clubs suddenly loom as contenders they, too, will be allowed to run off tickets. The commissioner's office, however, is committed to foot the bill for all tickets printed by any club that doesn't wind up in the series. It thus grants printing permission only to apparent pennant winners. The 1958 series will open at the park of the National League pennant winner on Wednesday, Oct. 1. The second game wiU be Thursday.

o __ _ 1 ■ Former Coach Andrews 'Now School Principal

fl Hugh J. Andrews, shown here in his early coaching days, is one of the three men to be honored at the first home football game Friday. for their contribution to the youth of Decatur. Andrews was head coach at Decatur high school for eight seasons, 1934 — 1941. After graduation from Decatur high school, Andrews attended Franklin College, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He returned to the Decatur school system, and later earned his master’s degree at Indiana University. Andrews is presently principal of Decatur high school. He took over the administrative position about eight years ago from present sup-

Gophers Face Lack Os Speed And Experience MINNEAPOLIS iUPD— Minnesota's 1958 football team will rank in the bottom group of the Big Ten, Coach Murray Warmath predicted today, and any improvement in the club will be overshadowed by greater improvement of all of its foes. “We don't have the running strength we'd like to have, particularly at halfback,” he said. "We don't have the kind of reserve strength we’d like to have. IWe have a lack of team speed, both in the line and in the back- | field, and inexperience, particularly in the backfield, is a tremendous problem for us.” Warmath listed his roster to ■ prove his poipt. He has five i ; starters back from the team; which last year won four and lost: ' five. Though he can start letter- : men at nine positions, all of his i fullbacks are sophomores and all -of his quarterbacks, except Jim Reese, are sophomores. And replacements for his starters largely will be sophomores. Troublesome Defense Problems While lack of -experience can be problem enough. Warmath was equally concerned about a lack of quality at quarterback and fullback, judging by Big Ten standards. “We pray they Will, and : fear they won't,” he said. Warmath said that Reese, his [only experienced signal caller,

As principal, he continues to exert a great atpount of influence over the young people of the city. He assists in arranging schedules with an eye to the youngsters future, and also helps in college counseling. Andrews is one of the reasons that Decatur high school was in a fairly comfirtable position when the current' science-math bomb lit in some schools after Sputnik. He has worked over the years, to boost those departments in his school, and has a fine teaching staff on hand. His teaching career was interrupted by a hitch in the armed services during World War 11. He I is still an active member of the local American Legion. While he is out of the active coaching field, his interest in athletics is still keen. He helps with the arrangement of schedules, and the athletic fund is under his direction.

was a better passer than a runner, but he indicated that he did not rate Reese on a par with the best in the conference, even in passing. “But he’s the best I’ve got,” he said. “And I'm going to use him and he's going to be a good one.” Defense also will be troublesome, Warmath anticipated, but he believed the general team speed was higher, “and I figured we could go only one way in defense.” Warmath has only four veteran backs, Reese and halfbacks Bob Soltis, Bill Chorske and Arlie Bomstad, and both Soltis and Chorske are hurt, but he. counts on them as starters. 4 Returning starters on the line will be end Perry Gehring, tackles Norm Sixta and Gerald Wallin, and center Mike Svendsen. But he’ll fill out with lettermen Ev Gerths at guard and Ken Schultz at end. For the other guard spot, Warmath has a sophomore brightlight, Tom Brown. “Brown has more potential than most anybody we have on our squad,” he said. | “Whatever he wants to do he can Ido. He’s a punter, an extra-point ■ kicker, a kick-off man, and he’s ' quick with better than average speed for a big man.” Start Rebuilding Program But overall Warmath can't paint brilliant prospects. “I think Michigan State, Ohio State, lowa and Wisconsin maybe should be the top teams,” he said, "and Minnesota, Indiana and Northwestern in the lower third. i “Then you’ve got thje middle third, but Illinois co*drr be great. I’m real glad we dcUit play PurI due, and you never count Michi? gan out. I don’t think we've gotten . better, but I hope we do better,”, he said .
