■ , - " , , Garrett Railroaders Beat Yellow Jackets By 27-0 Score Friday

—- * A will-o-the-wisp Garrett halfback, Carson Culler, almost sin-gle-handedly engineered the Railroaders to a 27-0 victory over an uninspired Decatur football eleven as he waltzed through for three touchdowns and passed for the fourth Friday night before an enthusiastic Garrett crowd of about 800. Culler, a 5-9, 165-pound senior, was a threat every time he got his hands on the ball, which unfortunately for the Yellow Jackets was pretty often—even when the Jackets were supposed to be on offense. Cullter intercepted two passs and recovered one of the three fumbles,. , The mighty mite took a beautiful punt by Jim Reidenbach on his own four-yard line and side-Aep-ped ineffectual attempts by Decatur tacklers in that vicinity to weave in and out of prospective tacklers all the way to pay dirt on a 96-yard touchdown jaunt. He also scored on a Dave Wyant pass for 17 yards, and really made a a sieve of the Decatur defenders on a 24-yard spurt, besides tutting halfback Jim Short with a 45yard pass-run touchdown combination. After the long, winding sprint by Culler in the first period for the opening six points, Decatur lost heart until the second half, when they started to grind out yards in the middle of the field. Garrett added the frosting when Tom Nason, 205-pound senior tackle, dumped Jay DeVoss in the end zone with a couple of minutes to play for a safety. DeVoss actually came out of the end zone, but was driven back by Nason, and the officials gave the safety to the Railroaders. Decatur worked well on the first series of downs after Culler punted into the end zone from his own 42-yard line. Denny Ahr, playing his first varsity game at fulback, looked fairly good on short bursts into the line. Jim Reidenbach and Jim Gay also ran well in this series as the Jackets picked up two first (towns, matching Garrett’s first try. The fatal punt then took place as Culler scooped the bounding pigskin, skirted wide to his left, danced away from three tacklers who hit, and then behind a wall of large, white-shirted teammates, for a quick six. All the points after except the one that Culler tried, failed. He passed after the third score to quarterback Wyant. Decatur’s passing attack sputtered in the first half with Reidenbach throwing, but sparked up in the second half as John Cowan took to the airlanes. Garrett, however, stiffened when the Jackets neared the Railroader goal line. The victory was the third for Garrett and the loss was Decatur’s third in three tries.

The situation has reached a point where it is obvious that harmony cannot be achieved between Frank Lane and myself,” Gordon said. Upon being informed of Gordon’s resignation. Lane said he was certain that Gordon had "exerted the fullest extent of his ability" as manager of the Indians. The fiery Cleveland general manager reportedly conferred with Leo Durocher Friday and asked the former Brooklyn Dodger and New York Giant manage: "if he was available next year.’ Durocher announced Thursday that he was leaving his job with 'the National Broadcasting Co.

Lollar Homers As White Sox Beat Detroit ■<; . *•< By JOHN GRIFFIN j United Preu International < This could be the day Chicago White Sox fans have been awaiting through 40 long and bitter years. Ever since the pennant-winning White Sox of 1919 became known <s the “Black Sox" because they were charged with “throw, ing” the World Series against Cincinnati, Chicago fans have dramed of another title team that would help to erase that unhappy memory. The dream will come true to-night-—if things break right for the Sox. Chicago can clinch at least a tie for the American League pennant by beating Detroit in an afternoon game. Then the White Sot would become the league champions if second - plalie Clew lang loses its night gatoeagainstKhnr sas City. . t The White Sox moved to the threshhold of the title Friday night by scoring a typical 1-0 triumph over Detroit on a home run by Sherman Lollar and the five-hit Sherman Lollar and the five-hit pitching of Bob Shaw. Cleveland kept its all-but-gone hopes "alive” by whipping Kansas City, 11-2, behind the pitching of Jim Perry. But the Tribe remained 5% games behind Chicago and the end is n sght. In other AL games, the Boston Red Sox downed New York, 6-4, and Washington edged Baltimore, 5-3. The big National League showdown between Los Angeles and San Francisco was rained out, and a doubleheader wM scheduled for Saturday. In the only NL action, the Chicago Cubs downed Philadelphia, 5-4, in 13 innings. Shaw and Lollar truly earned heroes’ laurels for the White Sox. Shaw allowed only one baserunner to reach third in gaining his 17th win of the year. Lollar provided the game’s only run when he slammed his 21st homer. Bud Daley of Kansas City held Cleveland hitless and had a 1-0 lead until two out in the sixth inning of their game when Jim Piersall homered to tie the scoreDaley then departed during a sixrun rally by the Indians in the seventh inning and the Tribe added four more in the ninth. The Red Sox, who routed Duke Maas in a five-run first - inning rally, carried a 6-0 lead into thg last of the ninth inning again* the Yankees. But the Yankee* scored four rune before Bobby Richardson fouled out with the bases loaded to end the game. Bill Fischer pitched a five-hib ter for the Senators in their win over Baltimore while Jim Lemon led his support with his 33rd homer. The Cubs beat the Phillies in the 13th inning when Tony Taytof walked, moved to second on George Anderson’s error, and scored on Irv Noren’s single. Tony Anthony Wins By Decision Friday BALTIMORE (UPD — Tony Anthony, elated at his upset TV victory over heavyweight contendter Alonzo Johnson in the “big test’*, began dickering today for a fight with fourth-ranked Eddie Machen. Anthony, slender New York light heavyweight contender who has invaded the heavyweight division came on in the second half of Friday night’s 10-rounder at the Baltimore Coliseum to win a unanimous decision over Johnson of Braddock.

50-yard Line Flashes? By 808 WALL Decatur's Yellow Jacket football players had three strides against them almost before the game started Garrett Friday. First, they were mismatched and they knew it; Second, the poor showing of school spirit as only an armful < slightly larger than a handful) of school pupils -attended the soiree, and last of all. the moans and groans of the Saturday mornt ing quarterbacks on the sidelines . certainly do little to inspire a ! group of boys who are trying to work themselves into a football ; team. i And then after the game was 1 hardly five minutes old, the team ■ made a big mistake (which they corrected, fortunately, in the sec- ' ond half) when they just gave up. This occurred after Carson Culler went 96-yards for a dazzling touchdown run. What Coach Bob Worthman told his squad at half-time will not be known to anyone outside of the team, but it certainly was effective. : Garrett rates in the same class, • as Penn, who romned to a 21-0 I .victory over the two! • weeks ago, and play a more polished game than the Penn teanfr ’ did. The only difference was that 1 the Jackets played Penn a full ! balk game. They only gave Qdr- . rett about half a game. Coach Worthman used somejjtf his young troops yesterday and I while they didn’t run wild, it ■ showed that Decatur has some • bench strength. Herb Magley, > Dave Magley, Steve Gause, and a ■ few of the other younger players looked like they wanted to mix it 1 up a little. Os the veteran troops, Herb ’ Banning, Larry Butler, John Cow- ' an, and a few others, very few, I gave it the old college try. The I 'addition of Denny Ahr at fullback , should help, especially when Mike • Thieme resumes ,his feats of last • season. . The word is out that Joe Smith, I last year’s center, has received the doctor’s okay to resume action after being injured in an auto accident. This will strengthen the ■ center position with Ron August and Smith spelling each other. Next Friday the Jackets meet New Haven at New Haven, who also bowed to Garrett’s superiority. Things may .look .black now, but the only way to go is up — if the flesh is willing. The spirit should be against New Haven. The infant mortality rate in Hawaii has declined from 44 per I 1,000 live births in 1940 to less than 24 per 1,000 today. About 800 different kinds of cheese are manufactured in the United States. These include every type made in foreign countries. . ,

But Friday night Purdue—one of the favorites for the 1959 Big Ten title —opened its season at Los Angeles and was held to a 0-0 tie by UMLA. Purdue was a 12-point favorite but was outplayed by the UCLA defense throughout the game. The 'heavier Big Ten lads couldn’t even score when Perdue guard IFted Brandel reordered a fumble by UCLA tailback Bobby Smith on the home team’s seven yard line. I In other top games Friday night, quarterback Jack Jones threw two touchdown passes and scored on a 33-yard run with an intercepted pass to spark Florida to a 30-0 triumph over Tulane; San Jose State edged Denver, 1413; and quarterback Tony Hanley passed for two touchdowns and ran for another during Detroit’s 38-6 rout of George Washington.
