Syracuse edged Penn State last Saturday, 20-18, in a clash of perfect record teams.

LSU Coach Charges Rules Infractions BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI) — Louisiana State football coach Paul Dietzel claimed Monday night that Tennessee scored its 14-13 upset on the Tigers last week on three rules infractions. Speaking before a t televised meeting of the Baton Rouge Quarterbacks Club, the L§U Coach said, “We’re not complaining, but I thing it’s a shame to lose one like that. I've already mentioned it to the man in charge of the officials.” The loss cost LSU its top national ranking and snapped the nation’s longest current winning streak at 19. Athletic officials at the University of Tennessee refused comment on any portion of Dietzel’s charges. Dietzel said Tennessee tailback Glenn Glass “was clearly in motion” when he took the snap on the Tiger 33 and passed 19 yards to Don Leake on the 14. He said a Volunteer lineman was offsides on the same play. On the next play, Dietzel said a blocking back “practically tackled” an LSU linebacker who was in line to stop Neyle Sollee who stepped down the sidelines to score. It was the final and fateful touchdown of the game.

Country Slaughter To Manage Houston HOUSTON, Tex. (UPI) — Enos (Country) Slaughter, one of baseball's "old pros,” will manage and play for the Houston Buffs of the American Association next season. Marty Marion, president of .the Buss and a former teammate of Slaughter with the St. Louis Cardinals, made the announcement at a press conference Monday night. Slaughter has played in five World Series, with the Cardinals in 1942 and 1946, and three times after he Joined the N e * York Yankees in 1954. » The Yanks sold Slaughter to the Milwaukee Braves near the end of the 1959 season. Slaughter, an outfielder, is a constant hustler. He has a lifetime batting average of .300 in the major leagues.

Big Ten Grid Coaches Tell : Losing Faults CHICAGO (UPI)— ISTorth western I tackled hard, blocked well and ■ moved the ball against Wisconsin, i but “we didn’t get the ball in the ; end zone." Coach Ara Parseghian . told United Press International's [ coaches’ "wailing wall” today. “You can't turn over the ball to a good team where we did and expect to win,” he said. “We gave it to them on the 25, the 26, the 16 and the 35, and they made one long drive for a touchdown. Outside of that, 17 of their points were scored after fumbles or interceptions.” “We’ve had those fumbles in every game,” Milt Bruhn of the Badgers said, “so you’ve got to figure we had something to do with them. Northwestern was better than we thought they’d be. Our line couldn’t keep them under control and they’re a darn fine football team.” Interceptions were the key to Michigan’s win over Illinois, Bump Elliott said, just as six Wisconsin interceptions hurt the l Wolverines a week earlier. "It I was on the other side of the fence for a change,” he said, “and those things change the complexion of a game. Our kids were real sharp defensively, and those interceptions were part of the defense you work on all week.” Look Draws Praise Ray Eliot of the Illini said his team might have been down a bit, but pointed out “it’s hard for kids to be up every Saturday playing a Big Ten schedule plus Army and Penn State. Pass intercepceptions- and fumbles do not help a team win a football game and we committed those and many other omissions.” Dean Look received credit from Michigan State’s Duffy Daugherty “for the greatest run I’ve ever seen” with a punt return against ■ Purdue. “He zigzagged through their whole team,” he said, “down to their four and then we fumbled. We had chances for several other scores, but didn’t do it.” Jack Mollenkopf of the Boilermakers declared “it was not upset” for Michigan State to win. “They were the best team we've played all year on the day we played them," he said. “They were big and aggressive and their backs ran real strong It was a buzz saw. What killed us was loss of our first two fullbacks.” Dispute Goal Stand Ohio State’s Wood Hayes and Indiana's Phil Dickens debated whether Indiana scored or not. Dickens said there’s “no doubt Vic Jones \yent into the end zone. Our kids, the guards and tackles, came out and told me.” Hayes, however, said he checked the officials and that he did not. Still, he said, “I felt we got outpunched so I guess we were lucky to get the tie.” Minnesota was “kind of shy on personnel,” lowa’s Forest Evashevski believed, so lowa won without a notably good performance. “I don’t think our blocking was quite as sharp as it has been.” he said, “and we didn’t do much on offense in the first half. In the second half, though, we moved the ball pretty gciod. Our defense held up pretty well.” Joe Kuharich of Notre Dame said “all I can do is sit and suffer” with the Irish losing. “We’ve lost so many kids with injuries I can’t htink about what kind of team we’d have if we had our players. Saturday the kids did real well, but they had two opportunities to score and got both and we had two or three and got one. But they hit, and moved and did the best they could.”

Stoneham Cold To New Major League SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Horace Stoneham turned a rotund, chilly shoulder today on reports that the Continental League seeks to land a franchise in the territory where his Giants struck gold. “I’m surprised by the suggested interest of the Continental League in the San Francisco area,” Stoneham said Monday. “It was my understanding that the proposed new league was interested primarily in bringing major league baseball to new territories other than New York.” Frank Moreland, a Los Angeles advertising executive, was reported to have spent the past two days in town talking to wellheeled families interested in bringing a Continental loop team here. Moreland also is listed as one of the officers on the proposed Lo? Angeles entry in the third major loop. Stoneham declared that he never heard from Moreland, although the latter was quoted as saying that he planned to confer with the Giant boss who owns the territorial rights. “I am sure,” Stoneham said in a prepared statement, "that Mr. Moreland is aware that the Giants, in moving to San Francisco, have had to assume heavy financial obligations that involve territorial equity as well as the obligation imposed by their occupancy of the new Candlestick Park”

J Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. S- Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY i. United Press * International -SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Listen to Sam Snead or Cary Middlecoff as they head for Australia and the International Golf ■nd Canada Cup championships Ind the chance arc Xop’U need W interpreter. - The Aussies will, for surelt’s been a fortunate while since they’ve been exposed to American slang. But they haven’t heard anything until they get a load of the slanguage which the touring golf pros are using these days. “I no sooner hit the track than I banana ball one into jail, simply becuase I’m trying to make like a Canaveral Kid,” Cary said. “I can’t get on the pipeline so I wind up with trombones.” Snead nodded sympathetically. “I knows what you mean,” drawls the Slammer. “Only worse. “I ain’t no puttin’ Jesse at best so after I get a few fliers. I'm gassing it or lipping out and I wind up on Sunset Strip.” If you’d like to translate, the the pro golfers’ newest slanguage dictionary goes like this: Track — the course. Banana ball — slice. In jail, or cabbage — the rough Canaveral Kid — long hitter. Pipeline — straight shot. Trombones —a score of 76 Puttin’ Jesse — good putter. Fliers — approach shots too long. Gassing. Yipping or choking — missing putts. Lipping out — rimming the cup. Sunset Strip —a score of 77. Snipe or coat hanger —a hook. Angel Ball — skied drive. Thus, as Snead and Middlecoff form the two-man U. S. team which will face the best from 35 other nations at Melbourne, they may at times seem to be talking in code. Former Manager Is Hired By Athletics KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPD - The Kansas City Athletics have hired former manager Harry Craft to help with the club’s player development program. Craft, who managed the club from Aug. 1957 through the 1959 season, will work with ex-New York Yankee star George Selkirk in developing young players.

BIG CROWD Continued from page one the man who had chased him. The other twenty had taken each other out, demonstrating for the only time in his career perfect teamwork. AU football memories are not so serious, however, he mentioned. lifc one game with Bluffton, Decatur led 6-0; the team went into a slump, however, and the Tigers fought their way to Decatur's 20yard line. Coach Horton sent in a boy named Butch and told him to get In there and fight. On the next play Bluffton was thrown for a two-yard loss, but the referees penalized Decatur 15 yards, and Butch came out of the game. The coach asked what the trouble was, and the boy replied, “Well, coach, I don’t know—l started a fight just like you told me to!” Real Obedient And then there was the time the Yeljow Jackets were plsggng Central of Fort Wayne in the rain with a slick ball. Decatur had been driven back to its own five-yard line. The coach grabbed a Decatur player, who latter attended the Reppert auction school and now referees basketbaU games, and told him to run two plays and then kick. The player went in, ran one for five yards, and on the second play he broke loose and ran all the way to the Central 20 yard line. You guessed it—on the next play he stiU kicked, as he was told, sending the baU clear over the fence around the park! Forget Failures Coach Horton advised the boys and spectators to forget all about the poor record this year, and start building for a better team next year. In his study, he told, he has a large waste basket, into which he throws all of his disappointments. failures, grudges, hates, and even some of the victories. Desire, loyalty, and willingness to sacrifice, are the main ingredients in building a team, not the size of the players. Story of Spirit Horton demonstrated this with a story about one of his championship teams, whose sparkplug for an average group of boys was a player called Pee Wee, who weighed 138 pounds soaking wet. After the football season, which was just before the second World War, all the backfield went into military service, and served as officers. One was missing in action in the Pacific and not heard from. At this time Pee Wee, who had entered service later than the others, went to practice aircraft carrier landings. He was killed on his first attempt, and the entire community was grieved. But his spirit lived on. A few months later the team’sfullback, who had been missing in action, appeared at 2 a.m., weighing 140 instead of his usual 200 pounds. He told his former coach how he had been observing Jap troop ship movements from a

Then a vision of Pee Wee, sparking the team, clapping bis hands, saying, “c’mom, get up, we’ve got to fight back," came to the young officer, and he got up, roused the others, and in their final attempt they made the larger island, where a native educated at Harvard nursed them back to health, and where the Americans finally found them . It was not until ttjen that the coach told the former fullback that Pee Wee was dead, having been killed that very day of his vision. “A miracle?” Horton closed, thanking the group for asking him to return to Decatur.
