Competition Stirred In Football Practice

Scrimmage sessions, punting and passing drills, and running through plays highlighted Wednesday's football practice at Worthman field as Coach Bob Worthman. ran his charges through two-a-day work-outs. Healthy competition developed in the punting and passing drills as the Decatur Yellow Jackets are slowly taking shape. Line play improved slightly, but the lack of bulk remains as a sore spot. Tentative starting linemen looked pretty good against boys their own size, but the league play will pose a different problem as most teams will field a larger complement of personnel. Worthman listed the punting of Jim Reidenbach, John Cowan, and Waldo Snyder as a healthy situation. Each boy looked impressive in individual stints. Passing likewise brought a glimmer of hope to Worthman's eyes aa Reidenbach, Cowan, and Jay DeVoss hit receivers with consistent regularity. Each thrower tossed the ball loosely and managed to make receivers look good on many throws. An acute problem at end may be solved as Stu Knodel, Bob Frauhiger, Tom Johnson, and Dan Poling seem to be taking up the slack expected at that position. Converted halfback Tom Grabill is also expected to help at the flanker position. Again', size here is the problem. Only Frauhiger stands over six-feet tall. The tackle situation showed signs of improvement as good charging and aggressiveness was noted on the parts of Terry Snyder, Bob Theobold, Roger Fuelling, Mike Drake, Larry Sheets, and Jerry Swygart. A better line of pmguit and a step more of speed from these linemen could improve the outlook Considerably. At the guard slot, where speed in the single wing offense is imperative, Larry Butler, Herb Banning, Don Agler, and Herb Magley, stood out in yesterday’s drills and continued the showing in today's morning drills. At center, Ron August, Tom Sharpe and Mike Affolder give that position plenty of aggressivenes, but need more work of snapping the ball 'bacx. Other line prospects are shaping up, but definitely need more work. The "backfield, which looms large as the Yellow Jackets strong point, worked well under Worthman’s direction. With Reidenbach, Cowan and DeVoss alternating at quarterback, the “generalship” on the squad seems in good hands. The veteran Reidenbach controls the backfield nicely. Worthman said, however, that his starting quarterback must want to run with the ball, know when to run, and know when to throw. Ed Nelson, Jim Gay, Denny Bollenbacher, Denny Ahr, Dave Magley, and Max Eichenauer at halfback gives Worthman an assort-

ment of offensive and defensive ability. Power seems to .over-bal-ance the speed of the accumulated aggregation, however. With Mike Thieme, Waldo Snyder, and Steve Gause at fullback, the spinner plays should be one of Decatur's best offensive weapons. Thieme also will supplant the defensive line at center.

Moore Retains Title As Bassey Cuts Again

LOS ANGLES (UPI) — Davey Moore, the Springfield, Ohio, rifle, is the winner and still world featherweight champion today but he should give a nod of thanks to British tradition for the ease with which he accomplished his second victory over Hogan (Kid) Bassey. Moore was well ahead on points, no boubt, Wednesday night when he was credited with an Uth round knockout of Bassey,

■ the chocolate-colored pride of the ■ British Empire from Nigeria. I But the 25-year-old titleholder ; and thd crowd at Olympic Auditorium had to be surprised when Bassey failed to answer the bell for the 11th. The 27-year-old African himself deceided to call a halt because of handicaps he incurred — namely . a closed right eye and a right hand which he said he was unable to use from the fifth round on because of an injury. Hints Bassey Retirement Bassey’s manager, pubkeeper George Biddles, hinting his tiger may retire, explained it this way, in the pattrn of British sportsmanship: “I personally don’t feel a fine gentleman like this pointing to Bassey in the dressing room should have to go on in boxing if he is going to get serious injuries all the time. He has had too many injuries in too many fights.” Referee Frankie Van took this viewpoint in answer to a question: “No, I certainly would not have stopped the fight. It was a world championship contest.” Stevens Captures Archery Title Larry Stevens captured the title of Ist expert and champion in the men’s division in the Club Championship shoot of the Limberlost Archery and Conservation Club on Sunday.

Major Leaders Slumping

By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Someone please play “show me the way to go home” because the top contenders in both leagues never will make it at this rate. • Talk about the staggers, get a load of this: San Francisco, The National League leader, has lost five of its last seven games. Over in the American League, the pace-setting White Sox have dropped three of their last four. The second - place clubs are stumbling around just as badly. Los Angeles has won only four of its last 11 and Cleveland has lost four of its last five. That brings us down to the thirdplace Braves, who lost six of their last nine. But at least they beat the Giants. 5-2, Wednesday night to climb within three games of the top. Burdette Wins 17th Lew Burdette won his 17th game by holding the Giants to. six hits, including Orlando Cepeda’s 24th and 25th homers. Del Crandall put Milwaukee ahead to stay with his 15th homer in the fifth. The Reds beat the Dodgers, 9-4; the Cardinals, scored a Id-in-ning 8-6 victory in the completion of a game suspended on July 12 but lost the regularly scheduled contest, 4-2. The Phillies topped the Cubs, 4-1, in the opener of a twi-night twin-bill, then played a 12-inning ‘7-7 tie that finally was halted because of the curfew. In the American League the Orioles whipped the White Sox, 3-1; the Indians snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating the Senators, 5-4; the Yankees finally beat

their nemesis, Frank Lary of th* Tigers, 10-5, and the Athletics ' humbled the Red Sox, 6-3. Cincinnati rallied for seVen runs ! in the eighth inning to beat Los Angeles. Jerry Lynch’s pinch sin--1 gle with the bases full was the key blow. 1 In the completion of the July 1 12th suspended game between St. Louis and Pittsburgh, the Cards ■ trailed 5-4 when play was resumed ! with one on and one out in the ninth. The Redbirds went ahead, : 6-5, but the Pirates tied the score • in the bottom of the ninth. Then, in f the 10th, four straight singles off 1 Bob Porterfield brought St. Louis its victory. Burgess Breaks Tie t Smoky Burgess’ sixth inning sint gle broke a 2-2 tie in the regularly ! scheduled contest and earned Vern Law his 14th victory. Gene Conley posted his 12th vici tory for the Phillies when he fired : a three-hitter and struck out nine i Cub batters in the opener. The • Cubs apparently were on their way ’ to a 7-6 win in the nightcap when

i Earl Averill homered in the top ot the 12th but Harry Hanebrink’s pinch triple tted the score in the bottom of the frame just before the game was halted by the curfew. Southpaw Billy O’Dell of the Orioles held the White Sox to five hits during the eight innings he pitched and Jerry Walker preserved the victory with a hitless ninth inning. The Orioles scored all their runs during the first three innings off Bob Shaw. Cal McLish of the Indians was credited with his 15th victory although he needed Larry Locke’s help after Bob Allison hit his 28th homer for the Senators in the eighth and Harmon Killebrew smacked his 37th with one on. The Yankees spotted Lary a 5-0 lead and went on to beat the Tiger right-hander with four-run rallies in the fourth and fifth innings. Bud Daley pitched a four-hitter 1 and drove in the tie-breaking run in Kansas City’s win over Boston. ■ It was Daley’s 15th victory against seven losses. i
