| Toda/s Sport Parade | (Beg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD— Fearless Fraley’s facts and figures: To anyone who has trouble meeting the bills on the first of the month there has to be something fantastic about the $297,250 purse for which a band of two-year-old colts will battle in the Garden State Stakes today. The winner will receive anywhere from $166,350 to $175,965, depending ori the number of starters — which is more than such equine greats as Man O’War, Count Fleet, Seabiscuit, Cavalcade and Colin earped during their entire racing careers. And in a matter of less than two minutes, the total purse distributed will be more than was won in their entire careers by such as Whirlaway and Shut Out .. .proving either that the dollar is worth less or that there are an awful lot more of them. Going Strong Don't write that golfing obituary yet for old Slammin’ Sammy Snead. You can watch him annihilate 13 rivals in a row on ABC’s all-star golf show, every Saturday afternoon over 164 stations, while banging in four eagles at an extra SSOO per for a total payoff of $28,000 — and he still isn’t finished. The Washington International, at Laurel on Nov. 11, shapes up as one of the most interesting races of the year. 17(6 Irish-bred Ballymoss, winner of the Ascot and Arc de Triomphe, shoots for an international triple. On top of which you'll see how Russia has been doing when it comes to improving the breed when it shoots for the SIOO,OOO purse with a pair of colts. . .Capitalists. Sales Group Formed A total of 205 million dollars was spent on golfing gear last year and the pro golf shops grabbed only 48 million dollars of the loot. This has led them to form the Professional Merchandising Corporation to promote pro shop sales and profits through mass purchasing and exclusiveness. Bob Toki and Harry Obitz are leaders in the movement. Doctors now say that Maurice Stokes of the Cincinnati Royals, who collapsed during the NBA playoffs last March and has been semi-conscious ever since, suffered a brain injury three days earlier in a game against Minneapolis. He was thought to have been suffering from sleeping sickness. The NBA raised SII,OOO for him in a doubleheader last Tuesday night and donations still are pouring in. - <-■> Howling Scores Sportsman League W L Pts.

Leading Teams Facing Rough Games Today By JOE SARGIS United Press International After all the shouting and the dust has cleared away late today there may be only four major major college football teams in the nation with perfect records — and included among the victims could be Army, Ohio State, Texas and Northwestern. The top-ranked Cadets play a tough University of Pittsburgh team without the services of fullback Harry Walters and possibly halfback Pete Dawkins, too, while the second-ranked Buckeyes tackle Wisconsin banking on all-out performances from four “injured” players. The oddsmakers have made both Army and Ohio State one touchdown favorites, injuries and all, but weren’t quite as optimistic about Texas and Northwestern’s chances. They called the Longhorns’ game with Rice a "pick ’em” affair and made sixth-ranked lowa a solid 14-point favorite to topple the Wildcats from the perfect-record ranks. Army On TV Should Army, Ohio State, Texas and Northwestern falter, then only Louisiana State, Mississippi, Colorado and Rutgers would remain as the major teams in the country with unblemished records, provided they get by "breather” opponents. LSU is picked by 13 points over Florida State, Ole Miss by 14 over Arkansas, Colorado by 22 over Nebraska and Rutgers over Lehigh. Coach Earl Blaik has indicated Army will go back to the passing game that proved so successful earlier in the season if Dawkins is unable to see more than spot duty. Blaik said third - stringer Don Bosko will fill in for Walters and Steve Waldrop for Dawkins. With the running game pretty well nullified, a capacity crowd in Pittsburgh and a television audience in the East will get a chance to see “lenesome end Bill Carpenter, who lines up split about 20 yards from the rest of the Army offensive line, in action. The Panthers, who pass quite a deal themselves, have two complete interchangeable backfield units to throw at the Cadets. Hobbled By Injuries Ohio State’s injured include halfback Don Clark, fullback Bob White, center Don Fronk and tackle Jim Tryer. All four have been named to start by coach Woody Hayes, but it is doubtful they will be in there for more than spot duty. Wisconsin, a pretender to the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl berth that goes with it, was stopped by lowa last week but has the Equipment for an upset. Fourth-ranked Texas’ chances of staying alive hinge on Rice s ability or inability to pull off an upset in a conference known for its form reversals. The Owls’ only conference loss last year was to Texas and there isn’t a thing they'd like more than to 1 turn the table on the Longhorns 1 this year. 1 Northwestern gained its biggest victory of the season last week by routing Michigan after beating three “easy” opponents. The Wildcats may have more than they can handle in the Hawkeyes, one of the top teams in the Midwest. , Other interesting pa 1 d ijn, gs: Third-ranked Auburn goes against Maryland: Navy tries to reverse itself against Penn; Notre Dame tackles Purdue in the Midwest’s regionally telecast game; Oklahoma goes against Kansas State, and Washington State meets Southern California in the Far West’s TV game. Chicago Man Killed When Truck Hits LAFAYETTE, Ind. <UP> — Arthur W. Graham, 73, Chicago, was killed late Friday when a big truck smashed into the side of his car at the intersection of U. S. 52 and [nd. 231 at Montmorenci northwest qf here. State police said Graham didn’t heed a stop sign and pulled from 231 into the path of the truck driven by Martin West, 37, Eagle River, Wis. Jobless Benefits Decrease In U.S. WASIftNGTON (UPD—The government says the number of workers drawing jobless benefits dropped by 97,600 to 2,234,900 in the week ended Oct. 11. The total was still about one million higher than in the corresponding week last year. The Labor Department reported late Friday part of the improvement was due to recalls to work among laid off employes at auto plants, soft coal mines and clothing factories. But it said most of the decrease resulted from a rise in the number of workers exhausting their right to unemployment compensation. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Cardinals And Browns Battle In Pro Feature By EARL WRIGHT United Press International I The Cleveland Browns and Chicago Cardinals, who use almost as many formations as a drill sergeant, clash Sunday in what . should be one of the days most ’ interesting National Footb all League games. Cleveland (4-0) invades Qomiskey Park and is a six-point choice to retain its two-game Eastern Division lead at the expense of the Cardinals' (2-2). In Sunday’s other games involving the leading teams, the ' Baltimore Colts (4-0) are ' point favorites to defeat the visit--1 ing Washington Redskins (2-2' and the Chicago Bears (3-1) are 1 6% point choices to down the - Forty-Niners (2-2) at San Fran- * cisco. The Colts lead the Bears : by a game in the Western Divi- ’ sion race. The Rams (2-2) are favored * over the Detroit Lions (0-3-1) by 3 9Vi at Los Angeles; the New 3 York Giants (2-2) are favored 1 over the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-3) r by six at Yankee Stadium, and the Packers (0-3-1) are two-point r choices to defeat „the Philadelphia I Eagles (1-3) at Green Bay. 3 Coach Frank Ivy’s Cardinals s use the standard T formation. They also have double and triple t wing T attacks that have helped < them lead the NFL in yards ? gained with 1,671 for four games. e Flooding rival secondaries .with II receivers darting out of these for- ’ mations, they also lead in passing ' yardage with 963. The Browns, once described by : a scout as a team that never * lines up twice in succession in e the same exact T formation, have B paid Ivy the compliment of ins staling a triple wing attack since H they defeated his Cardinals two ’ weeks ago, 35-27. Coach Paul s Brown, who said after that game r that his Cleveland defense had been unable to stop the Cardinals, also has a double wing which he used to mystify the Rams in the 1955 title game. San Francisco Center 5 * Is Out Os Action ' SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Frank J Morze, 270-pound center for the ! San Francisco Forty-Niners, has 1 been sidelined, possibly for the re- ! mainder of the season, it was dis- , closed today. Morze suffered tqrn knee liga- ' ments in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday adn will be out of play for at least "four or five weeks.” Gene Conley Given Basketball Go-ahead MILWAUKEE (UPD — Long

Gene Conley can shoot baskets with a clear conscience tonight for the Boston Celtics because his Milwaukee Braves’ bosses have given him the okay to play basketball.

(UPI) — Charles (Sonny) Liston, one of the hottest fighters among current heavyweights, may have helped his chances for the future by narrowly missing a knockout Friday night '■ over Burt Whitehurst of Baltimore. Pep Barrone, Liston’s manager, took a cheerful view of the out--1 come —a unanimous decision for the burly Philadelphian. The nationally televised triumph was 1 Liston’s 14th straight victory. “We don’t have much plans for the future,” Barrone said. “Most 1 of the boys ranked ahead of Liston (he is rated ninth) have been ' ducking him.

Leading Prep Teams Win In Games Friday INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Hammond and South Bend Central led the “Big Ten” of Indiana high school football to victory Friday. All six members which took the field rang up easy victories without even the smell of an upset. Hammond and* Central tied for the top spot in United Press International’s board of coaches poll this week and they could meet in the NIHSC play-off game for the league championship in a “Game of the Year.” Hammond trounced Hammond Morton, 52-7, coming up with 40 points in the second and fourth periods. Central over - powered touted city and East NIHSC foe Washington, 32-6, to assure the Bears at least a share of the league crown. Oommie Wfalls, Central scatback, scurried for two touchdowns on a 21»yard run and a 57-yard punt return. In other games of the elite, third-ranked Indianapolis Manual Whalloped city-rival Shortridge, 340; fourth-ranked Evansville Memorial smashed Bloomington, 30-12; ninth-ranked Elkhart rolled over LaPorte, 42-0, and lOth-rated Hobart slugged East Chicago Roosevelt, 20-0. Gary Mann kept its hopes for a share of the West NIHSC title very much alive. If Mann beats Steel City foe Froebel next week it would match the 6-0 loop mark of Hammond. Hiat would set up a coin toss for the divisvion playoff berth. The omy unoeauens to see action were ranked. Hammond, Central, and Manual scored their eighth straight victories and Memorial, the only all-winning team in Southern Conference play, won its seventh. Steve Wright of Manual, the power of the Hoosier Capital, threw his 20th and 21st touchdown passes of the season. Both pitches went to halfback Dave Miller. Memorial's southern wrecking crew ran up an 18-6 half-time lead and went on to an easy win with five men scoring the touchdowns. Elkhart, beaten once, piled up 269 yards on the ground to 95 for LaPorte in keeping a chane for an East NIHSC tie. Elkhart meets Central next week in the battle for the crown, but a loss or a tie would give it to the Bears. Hobart snapped back from a loss last week for its first win over the Rough Riders in four years. Coach Pete Rucinski has a ".disappointing” year compared to his past Roosevelt teams. Rucinski going into 1958 had lost 9 games against 104 win and 5 ties since 1944. But now Rooevelt has lost three games this seaon, all to ranked teams. The others were to Hammond and Richmond. Mark HiM, Seymour halfback, closed out a fine season scoring all his team’s points in a 19-0 South Central Conference win over Jeffersonville. Hill plunged for the first, ran 39 for the second and another 15 for the third. He ran for the extra point as Seymour closed 7-3. Quarterback Frank Lambrey scored twice and intercepted two passes as Vincennes shut out Sullivan, 27-0. Two Giants* Linemen To Return To Action NEW YORK (UPI) — The New York Giants announced Friday two top linemen will return to action against- the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. Scheduled for a return from the injury list are Jack Stroud, offensive guard, and Roosevelt Grier, defensive end and tackle. Entire Hockey Team Fined By Manager NEW YORK (UPI) — The Chicago Black Hawks, fined SIOO each for a poor showing in their last game, are out “to take out their anger on their opponents” today when they meet the New York Rangers in a nationally televised National Hockey League game at Madison Square Garden. "They’re mad enough to eat ice,” said general manager Tommy Ivan who fined all 18 members of the team SIOO after Thursday night's 9-to-l loss to the Montreal Canadiens. “I think they’re ready to make up for their poor showing.” Trade in a good town — Decatur.

The floodlighted pithead presented a confused scene today, with crowds of relatives of miners waiting hopefully, TV cameras set up on tops of trucks, and rows of ambulances parked near1 by. Dozens of-rejx>rters rushed in and out of a nearby makeshift newsroom. The trapped men were all at the 13,000 foot level or below, Gordon said, and there was only the faintest hope the miners trapped in a side gallery or tunnel at the 13,400 foot level could have survived. The men were working there when the “bump" sealed them behind tons of rock.

which were only two feet high in places. In addition to other problems. Gordon said the draegermen had difficulty with the ventilating system, but that special fans were bling brought in to remedy the situation. . The Springhill mine is one of the deepest in Canada. The No. 4 shaft crumbled in an explosion two years ago and 39 men didd. The level is measured down the sloping mine shaft, which is as steep as 30 degrees in places. The 13,000 foot level would actually be 4,200 feet vertically down from the urface. Hold Long Vigil Hundreds of grieving relatives were maintaining a long vigil, at the pithead, and were praying for a miracle. The hardy mining community, which was experiencing the agony of the second major mining disaster in two years, was steeling itself for the grim possibility that 93 men might have perished. The disaster was expected to sound the death knell for the economy of the town of about 8,000 persons. The town’s bad luck began in 1891 when 125 men were killed in a mine explosion. After 39 died in the mine Mast two years ago, the town was struck by a disastrous boxing day fire last year. In a tragic prelude to the disastrous “bump”, a series of disturbances rocked the mine earlier this year and resulted in the death of one miner. The bumps were smalelr, but caused considerable damage. Plunges To Death At Richmond Bridge RICHMOND, Ind. (UPI) — Authorities said today Harper H.
