Blaik Reveals Army's Lonely End Mystery NEW YORK (UPI) — College football’s best kept secret — how does Army’s “lonely end” receive his signals—was divulged for the first time Thursday night by its creator. Earl (Red) Blaik. The Cadets’ outgoing head coach let the cat out of the bag during an off-the-cuff speech before members of the Touchdown Club of New York, who honored Wm “for his long and meritorious service to college football” at their silver anniversary dinner. “I have been asked many times to explain the secret of the lonely end formation,” said Blaik, who surprised rival coaches last season by stationing one end. Bill Carpenter, far out on the flank afid never permitting him to enter the huddle. Decides To Tell “I always declined to discuss how he received his signals, but now I think it might be a nice idea to tell you how simple it is,”' he added. “ ■ The coach, who will leave West Point next month to accept an executive position in the business world, then went on to explain how Carpenter always knew what play quarterback Joe Caldwell had called. “If you recall, Caldwell always had a towel attached to his pants,” Blaik said. “He would take the towel and massage it before each play. All he was doing was wiping his hands. His hands : perspired a lot. — —— — “But if you watched Caldwell closely—and a lot of people did—you noticed for example when he lined up facing the huddle, his two feet were in a different position position. If his feet were parallel—or ith a closed stance — it meant a >an. If Ms left foot was , forward, if also meant a run. But « trtS war- forward, it meant a pass. "All you had was a pass or run, and there you have it.” Blaik then went on to explain that additional information was transmitted to the lonely end by another man, advising the end which route to take downfield on each play. These signals were transmitted by a player touching his helmet, rubbing his nose or grabbing his jersey. Although he used the dinner to get a few things off his chest, Blaik still declined to reveal what business he plans to enter when his resignation becomes effective on his 62nd birthday. Feb. 15. However, it is believed he wil accept a position with an aircraft firm or enter the'television field.

Three Big 10 Gaines Slated For Saturday CHICAGO (UPI) — Minnesota’s surprising Gophers get their first golden opportunity Saturday night to become the sole pace-setter in Big Ten basketball and enjoy the rede at least during the currnt annual lull for semester exams. The steady Gophers, who have moved gradually and unexpectedly into a four-way tie for the lead, mqet Michigan State Saturday and take on Illinois in their second big chance on Monday night. The Gophers will have die hope court advantage in both games. A victory Saturday night would topple the Spartans from a share of first place, leaving the Gophers with a 4-1 record and the Spartans with a 3-2 slate. Illinois and Michigan also share the lead with the Gophers and Spartans. But Michigan is idle Saturday night and the mini are scheduled for non-league hostilities against Notre Dame“i» a Chicago Stadium clash. Each is doomed to fall a half-game off the pace no matter who wins the Gopher-Spartan game. Two other conference games are: scheduled for Saturday night. Northwestern will seek to shatter a three-game losing streak in an afternoon television contest with lowa on the Hawkeye floor. The Hawks, now 2-2, were favored to beat’ the Wildcats who will f again be without injured Phil Warren, their outside shooting ace. Ohio State and Purdue, two lowly second-division outfits sharing 1-3 records, will meet Saturday night on the Boilermaker court. The Buckeyes, who have failed to get an outstanding scoring performance from Larry Huston in their last two outings, were underdogs in the contest. Studying Expansion For Pro Basketball DETROIT (UPD—National Basketball Association club owners, having disposed of several weighty ; problems, including the Elgin Baylor incident, resumed discussions today regarding possible expansion of the circuit. League President Maurice Podoloff said the owners were con- ! fronted by numerous problems in their efforts to expand to the West Coast. Those problems included Jje, obtaiß-. -tag of players -to •staff"- the ■ new» teams and the arrangement of a schedule “on a reasonably sound economic basis.” “If it were a question of such cities as Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Baltimore, there would be no such problems involved,” Podoloff said. “But the West Coast is a different matter. We 'would have to add two teams at the same time-and that complicates matters.” The league’s, referees also were represented at Thurscday’s session and they told the owners they felt they would be better “protected” if they worked under contract rather than on a game-to-game basis as they do now. The owners promised to "explore the problem” at the end of this season and said that S‘ system of contracts probably would be put into effect next year. President Bob Short of the. Minneapolis Lakers said that henceforth he will insist that a nonsegregation clause be included in all games played by his team in non-league cities. Short’s announcement was prompted by last Friday night’s incident at Charleston, W. Va., involving Baylpr, the Lakers’ rookie Negro star. Baylor sat out a game between the Lakers and Cincinnati Royals in protest when he was’ not allowed to register in a Charleston hotel. NBrth Tearn Coaches Set For December MONTGOMERY, Ala.

All-Star Pro Game In Detroit Tonight DETROIT (UPI) -Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics, who has broken up more than one National Basketball Association All - Star game during his glamorous career, undoubtedly will be on the sidelines with a leg injury when the East pros meet the West tonight. Although the announcement of Cousy’s status was couched in confusion and a touch of controversy, it was plain that Coach Red Auerbach and owner Walter Brown of the Celtics had no intention of risking a prolonged injury by playing their brilliant back-court man tonight. Two other east stars. Bill Russell of the Celtics and Ken Sears of the Knickerbockers, also were hobbled by injuries. The odds, which previously favored the east by 3% points, were expected to drop to even-money by game time. The second half of the All-Star game will be televised nationally by the National Broadcasting Company, starting at 10 p.m. e.s.t the time customarily occupied by the Friday night boxing matches.

Pro Football i Owners Study Pension Plan PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — The 1 National Football League took an- • other look at the pension plan proposed by the Players AssociaI tion today after a foreceful pres- ! entation of the pro gridders’ case - put on the Owner’s thinking caps, i Bill Dudley, an all-star during > his many years in the league and. . now an insurance consultant, outlined the players’ hopes for a minimum SIOO a month pension at the age of 65 years. The plan handed the owners caused Commissioner Bert Bell, who long held a pension wasn’t feasible, to state he now had an 1 open mind and that he wks “per--1 fectiy willing to listen, diseuss andi study it.” ■’ f ' r i Players, League Contribute ! Dudley's outline, presented with t Association President Billy Howtan of Green Bay, asked that $338,000 be set aside annually for the old age benefits, with both the league and players contributing to the’treasury. He* estimated $213,000 was needed from the league, and $125,000 from the players, with each par- ' tieipating player among the 400- ’ odd gridders in the league paying 1 S3OO a year. A majority of the owners agreed ’ that the plan was presented forcefully and intelligently. What '• probably helped win the owner i consideration was the emphasis of ■ the players looking to sources : which wouldn’t cost the clubs any‘"Hiey know the slower clubs couldn't afford it,” Bell said. Suggest Income Sources The players recommended as possible income sources for the league's share the playing -of an additional exhibition game by each team, a possible cut into the proceeds from the pro bowl and college all-star games, and perhaps ’ a “two out of three” game series for the league championship. The owners let the game rules alone, thus providing for the same ; game next season as drew the record crowd last year. Eleven rules changes wera proposed, and ■ all were defeated or withdrawn. Truck Driver Cited Following Accident i A trucker involved in a Wells county* accident with a Decatur . driver was arrested Thursday and charged in that county with failure to yield the right of way.

Says Farm Program Costs Are Fantastic Benson Says Cost Is Indefensible NEW YORK (UPD—Secretagy of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson said today the operation and cost of the nation’s farm programs were “fantastic and He estimated the government would have a surplus hoard of farm products worth more than nine billion dollars in inventory or under loan by next July, and that ..the cost of storage and interest on these stocks will be one billion dollars a year. “This is fantastic and indefensible,” he said. Benson made his remarks in a speech prepared for delivery before the National Industrial Conference Board at the Hotel Commodore. He estimated the Agriculture tlepartment will spend during the current fiscal year some $7,300,000,000 of which about 5 billion dolars is for programs for’ stabilization of farm prices and farm income. These expenditures, he said, do not benefit f a r m e r s alone. “Many of them have general benefits that are national and international in scope,” he said. “It is unfair to our farmers to attribute all these expenditures aS being for their benefit alone.” Benson said that while many farm programs “are of direct benefit to all our people,” the public is “rightly” concerned about the size of the budget for agriculture. Earlier this week. President Eisenhower proposed that the department budget for fiscal 195960 be cut to some $6,400,000,000.

Gil McDougald Joins List Os Balking Yanks By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Gil McDougald, Roy Sievers and Jackie Jensen all were in the same boat today, threatening to rest on their oars indefinitely until they get more money. McDougald thus joined a growing list of Yankee ball players who are balkin at a cut. The group includes Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra and Bill Skowron. “This is a knock to every ball player—almost an insult,” said the usually mild-mannered McDougald, who slumped to .250 last season. "It’s a matter of pride.” he added. “We did win the world championship last year and I think we deserve at least a token raise, certainly not a cut.” Asked To Take Cut McDougald, who received an estimated $35,000 last season, said he had been asked to take a cut of more than $4,000. He added that everyone else he had talked with on the club also had been offered a reduction. “I don’t want to get mad,” he said. “’Die Yankees are a wonderful organization. But I don’t know any reason for these pay cuts. It’s not right.” Right or not, the only Yankee players known to have been offered a raise are pitchers Bob Turley and Ryne Duren and catcher-outfielder Elston Howard. None of those are reported signed, however, so perhaps even they aren’t exactly turning cart-wheels. Sievers, the slugging Washington outfielder who slammed 39 1 homers, drove in. 108 runs and batted .295 last season, said in St. Louis he already had sent back one unsigned contract to the club.

Wauta $4,000 Mere He received $36,000 last year—highest salary ever paid a Wash- o ington player — and was offered SI,OOO more for this year. “I want more money,” Sievers said, “and I intend to sit tight until I get $40,000." Roy may have to do quite a bit of sitting. He sent back four contracts last year before he signed. - Jensen, the American League’s Most Valuable Player for 1958, declared he was dissatisfied with terms offered him by the Red Sox. Jensen was offered a raise but feels he’s entitled to more. Th Red Sox are all set to sign Williams today for another $129,000 salary and if they could get Jensen, too, they would have the bulk of their offense in tow. Little Luis Aparicio erf the White Sox also is unhappy. From Maracaibo, Venezuela, where he lives, Aparicio said thia was the first time in three years he has returned a contract unsigned. Other Players Sign Elsewhere along the major league front, some of the other players were falling into line. Southpaw Johnny Antonelli, a 16-game winner _ last season, signed his contract with the San Francisco Giants, while Bill Bruton, who had balked earlier, became the seventh member of the Milwaukee Braves -to- agree- to—terms. The Pittsburgh Pirates announced the signing of Bill Virdon and ’John Powers, bringing the club total to 10. Far out in front of the whole pack are the Cleveland Indians, with only five players left unsigned. General Manager Frank Lane, generally the first to sign all his players no matter which club he’s with, said he has come to terms with pitchers Gary Bell, Dick Brodowski and Russ Heman.
