Nelson Fox Os White Sox Is Most Valuable BOSTON (UPI) - Nelson Fox, the combative, second baseman who typified the “go go spirit” of the Chicago White Sox, today became the first player in the team’s history to be named the American League’s Most Valuable Player. The 31-year old Fox garnered 295 points in the balloting by baseball writers to beat out Luis Aparicio, his 25-year old double play teammate from Maraicaibo, Venezuela who was second with 255 points. Four of the 24 voting writers, three in each American League city, considered the tandem so inseparable that they split their first-place ballots between the two. Fox drew 14 first place votes, five second-place votes and one third-place vote. Aparicio won six votes for top honors, 13 for second place and one for third. Righthander Early Wynn of the White Sox made it a Chicago triumvirate by finishing third with 123 points. Wynn compiled a 22-10 record last season. Slugging Rocky Colavito of the second - place Cleveland Indians was fourth with 117 points. Indians centerfielder Tito Francona, who won himself a satrting position after the campaign got underway, finished fifth with 102 points. Jackie Jensen of the Boston Red Sox, last year’s winner, finished 10th in the voting. Only Fox and Aparicio were considered worthy of first-place votes. A total of 29 players were named in the balloting, announced here by Hy Hurwitz of the Boston Globe, secretarytreasurer of the Baseball Writers Association of America. The selection of Fox made it an all-Chicago year in the MVP voting. Shortstop Ernie Banks of the Cubs won the National League MVP honor last week. High School Football Gary Mann 35, Portage 0.

Saturday Adams Central at Hoagland. Monmouth vs Petroleum at Bluff* ton. , Purdue Coach Says Charges Ridiculous LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Purdue football coach Jack Mollenkopf today called “absolutely ridiculous” charges that an observer for Purdue spied on lowa’s football team before their meeting here last month. lowa athletic director Paul Brechler said Wednesday only the “relationship between the man and the institution has not been proved yet." “I don’t know anything about it,” Mollenkopf told United Press International. “This is the first I’ve heard of it. If someone was doing it (spying), we knew nothing about it.” < The complaint was registered with Big Ten Commissioner Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson in Chicago. Brechler said there was “no doubt” that the incident occurred before the conference game won by Purdue at Lafayette. Ind., 14-7. Brechler told the Des Moines Football Writers Association that "Tug is very active on the situation.” “I know he has been active because I talk with him pretty regularly about it so he won't for-, get.” Yankees Announce 1960 Coaching Staff NEW YORK (UPI) — The New York Yankees are definitely in the market for a left-handed hitting outfielder and a pitcher. General Manager George Weiss made that clear Wednesday during a press conference called to name the Yankees’ 1960 coaching staff. A four-man staff was revealed comprised of Ed Lopat, Ralph Houk, Frank Crosetti and Bill Dickey. Lopat and Houk are regarded as the heirs-apparent to succeed Manager Casey Stengel.

Decatur High Net Preview Next Tuesday The Decatur high school basketball preview, slated for Nov. 17 at 6:30 p. m., at the high school gym, will feature a 10-minute junior high intra-squad game and a 10minute freshman intra-squad game, before the B-team and varsity teams unwind in game-like intra-squad scrimmages. The B-team will go at 7 p. m. with the varsity charges toiling three regulation periods starting at 7:30 p. m. Tickets for the event will be sold by junior high members and freshman players at 25 cents a seat. Three B-Ball Coaches The Tuesday night skirmishes will show off the players of junior high coach Floyd (Orv) Reed, assistant basketball coach Bill McColly, and varsity coach Paul Bevelhimer. Coach Bevelhimer made his final cut this week, reducing the varsity basketball squad at Decatur high school to 12 members with 13 on the B-team. Seniors Jim Gay, Jim Reidenbach, Larry Hill, Bob Frauhiger, and Dave Clark won berths on the Yellow Jackets team along with juniors John Cowan, Tom Grabill, Stu Knodel, Dan Poling, Ed Nelson, and Jerry Rambo. The only sophomore, at this stage, who earned recognition was Denny Bollenbacher. Bevelhimer added, however, that any of five or six B-team members could merit a chance at the varsity by improvement in play throughout the year. Members of the B-team are Ron August, Ken Frauhiger, Steve Marbach, Al Townsend, Bob Walters, Jim Elliott," Jim Hoffman, Garry Feasel, and Mike Nelson. The team has worked progressively toward the season’s opener with Adams Central on Nov. 20 at the Adams Central gym. The Greyhounds, who do not play football, will have an edge on the Yellow Jackets in practices and actual games played. The Jackets get a late start op hardwood activities every yea?- \aißiig with other teams in the state who also have football teams. Aims For Sectional Bevelhimer, however, wants to bring his team along slowly to reach a high potential around the holiday tourney and the peak of its playing ability at sectional time. The loss of Jim Gay until around the first of the year puts A crimp in Bevelhimer’s plans slightly and the other football injury to Jim Reidenbach also hampers all-out plans. Reidenbach has been working out but without participating in contact work. Gay remains on the sidelines, hobbling around cm crutches and waiting for the foot bone fracture to heal.

Johnson Is Winner By Late Knockout CHICAGO (UPD—A razor-sharp fighter with no foes, Harold Johnson, apologized today for a poor performance, even though he belt,ed out Sonny Ray in the 10th round •f their nationally televised fight Wednesday night. Johnson, the No. 1 challenger for the light heavyweight crown, said he might have finished his opponent earlier, but he was afraid to try because he had little confidence in his ability. “I didn’t think I had the timing to do it,” he said, ‘and I didn’t Avant to risk missing.” Johnson, 31, floored Ray for a six count in the fourth round, but he said “he covered up well and I couldn’t chance moving in cm him. “I didn’t think I was right, but I didn't think I could be without any more fights than I’ve had recently. I’ve tried to get matches with every heavyweight and they, won’t fight me. I just can’t get any fights, Johnson said. It was Johnson's 62nd win as a pro and the ninth loss for Ray, who has won 20 of 34 pro bouts. Johnson has been beaten only eight times.

Offense In Big Ten • CHICAGO (UPI) —lowa, though tied for seventh place in the Big Ten football race boasts the major individual statistical leaders on offense and also is the league's best offensive team, figures showed today. Hawkeye halfback Bob Teter is the rushing leader with 394 yards compared to 321 for Northwestern’s Mike Stock, and lowa quarterback Olen Treadway leads vfa passing with 641 yards and in total offense with 616 yards.

Northwestern, tied for the league lead with Wisconsin, was third best on offense and fourth on while the Badgers were seventh on offense and eighth on defense.

Chamberlain Stars As Warriors Win United Press International What are you going to tell a man after you’ve pitted him against Wilt Chamberlain, except that you’re sorry? Walt Dukes of Detroit, who said he could stop the Philadelphia flipper, was the latest National Basketball Association giant to test Chamberlain’s massive scoring strength Wednesday night as Wilt the Stilt tallied 41 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in the Warriors’ 119-105 victory over the Pistons. Chamberlain, travelling along at a 38-point-a-game pace, repeatedly batted away Dukes’ efforts to score and held the Detroit center* to 22 points. Wilt also improved his shooting eye at the foul line, having one of his best nights as he connected on nine of 12 attempts. The Philadelphia victory left the Warriors a game back of the Eastern Division leading Boston Celtics, who walloped Cincinnati, 151-118, in the only other league action. The Celtics overshadowed a 49point performance by the Royals’ Jack Twyman as they won their 10th straight from Cincinnati. Boston, led by Bill Sharman's 32 points, missed tying the record for a quarter at the Garden with a 48-point spree in the third period. Boston now has won eight of nine games this season. Philadelphia has taken six of seven contests.

Bald Eagle Takes International Race LAUREL, Md. (UPD-Recrim-inations echoed throughout the wor.ld today following BaldEagle’s victory for the United States in the eighth running of the Washington D.C. Internatoinal. The Venezuelan and Australian horses lost their jockeys and charges of rough riding were made by several jockeys in the race — excepting victorious Manny Ycaza who guided Bald Eagle to an easy two and one-half length triumph. The New Zealanders from one side of the globe were seething and the Russians from the other half of the world were equally hot The spill occurred after the horses had' gone half a mile in the mile and one-half race. Pensilvania from Venezuela crossed over in front of Australia’s Vogel. Jockey William Camer on Vogel couldn’t check his horse and they collided. Both animals almost went to their knees. Camer and Gustavo Avila slammed to the turf. Up and Coming from New Zealand almost crashed into the thrown jockeys but missed them. Then he too scraped the fence. Bald Eagle was up front trailing Tudor Era. the pace maker, with France’s Midnight Sun third. They missed the fireworks with Bald Eagle and then Midnight Sun passing Tudor Era on the turn into the homestretch and finishing one-two. Tudor Era, the eighth straight favorite to fail, pulled in a tired third. Pro Basketball Philadelphia 119, Detroit 105. Boston 151, Cincinnati 118.

Buller U. Is Receptive To Bid To Bowl INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Butler’s college football team won’t turn a deaf ear to a post-season bowl bid, coach Tony Hinkle said today, but first the Bulldogs want to hang up their first perfect campaign They can achieve their first goal here Saturday by dumping lowly Washington of St. Louis. The Bears have won only once and were beaten by Wabash earlier this season. Butler, in turn, dumped Wabash, 28-8. Still, Hinkle isn’t taking Washington lightly. "They’ve had some close calls,” he said. "Any team that shows up has to be beaten." A victory would give Butler’s Indiana Collegiate Conference champs a record school winning string of 12, including nine this season. ’‘This is one of the best teams we’ve had at Butler,” said Hinkle, who is completing his 22nd year as grid coach. “Some of the kids came through a little more than we had expected, and that helped solve some of our problems. 22-Player Team “For instance, we were shy at quarterback, but (Bob) Stryzinski came through for us with a fine job.” Stryzinski, of Hammond, played on the third string last year. Although he does not platoon them, Hinkle depends on a team of 22 players to carry the ball. “I always figured it takes two ballclubs to get by,” he said. “We don’t necessarily platoon, but we do have two sets of backs, two sets of ends, two sets of linemen.” Success last year and this season, said Hinkle, is “the result of four years’ work.” Last year, Ball State’s 14-7 upset wrecked Butler’s bid for an unbeaten-untied season, and Valparaiso came closest to spilling the Blulldogs this time, 10-7. “I don’t think we were especially keen or alert against them,” said Hinkle- “Somewhere along the line during the season a team is bound to let up some, and we had it against Valpo, especially on offense." Overall, though, said Hinkle, he has a “very respectable ball team,” with 16 of his first 22 players seniors. ’ “Our defense is good, and if any one thing characterizes this ball club, it’s overall speed. We have some very fine speedy backs— Cliff Oilar, Joe Grissom, John Skirchak, Elmer O'Banion, Kenny Long. Stryzinski Also Punts “Our punting has been wonderful. I can’t remember a punt being run back five yards this season. Our kids get down there that fast.” Stryzinski does most of Butler’s punting. In the line, Hinkle has such stalwarts as end Dave Flowers, guard Larry Goens, only a sophomore, and tackle Bob Day. Butler has a total offensive average of 360.4 yards per game, a defensive average of 187.7, and a rushing defense of 78.8 per scrap. In their last, three ICC games, the Bulldogs yielded only 170 yards on the ground. “We have heard nothing so far regarding a possible post-season game,” said Hinkle, “but we’d certainly be willing to play.” Actually, Butler had perfect records before, but they cannot legitimately be called “seasons.” In 1887, Butler’s 3-game season consisted of whaling Purdue (45-5), Franklin (48-8), and Hanover (24-10), while playing under Clint Howe. In 1889, Butter won its two-game schedule; it won three straight in 1897 and called it quits in 1901 after beating Earlham-

Tony Trabert May Turn To Promotion SALT LAKE CITY. Utah fUPI) —Tony Trabert, former U. S. Devis Cup star, is considering an offer to promote professional tennis. Trabert, who won the Wimbledort crown in 1955, has just returned from a European playing tour. He is expected to meet promoter Jack Kramer shortly to discuss his switch from the courts to a desk job. Delaware Is Leader Among Small Schools NEW YORK (UPI) — Delaware and Mississippi Southern remained 1-2 today in United Press International’s small college football ratings but Bowling Green (Ohio) replaced West Chester (Pa.) Teachers in third place. Delaware and Bowling Green, each unbeaten and untied in seven games, clash Saturday in one of the season’s most attractive small college clashes The game jvill be played at Bowling Green. Middle Tennessee State (8-0) advanced from fifth to fourth and East Texas State (7-1) moved from sixth to fifth in the latest balloting by the nationwide board of coaches which rates the small schools for UPI. West Chester (6-1) slipped to sixth in the wake of its 13-10 upset loss to Bloomsburg (Pa.) Teachers. Memphis State (5-2), Miami of Ohio (5-2), Western Illinois (8-0) and Buffalo (5-1) rounded out the top 10 in that order. Hillsdale (Mich.) was 11th. Ohio University, Lenoir - Rhyne (N.C.), Louisiana Tech, Montana State College, Lamar Tech, Butler (Ind.), Idaho State, William Jewell (Mo.) and Florida A&M rounded out the top 20. | Today's Sport Parade | (Reg- U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-Jack Curtice, Stanford’s football coach, is one of those strange creatures from another world —a football coach who tells jokes when he loses. The stocky, bright-eyed man with the bushy hair has been telling a lot of jokes this season. His Indians have lost six games against two minor victories. But never do they look like cigar store Indians. Curtice has two theories. One is that college football must combat the inroads which the professional game is making on college football. The other, resulting from the first, is that you can only do this with a wide-open, free-scor-ing brand of football. “Maybe you win, and maybe you lose,” he says, “but you have to give them an interesting game.” Free-Throwing Quarterbacks Curtice does that, specializing in free-throwing quarterbacks. It is a formula which produced Less Grosscup when Curtice was at Utah and has given Stanford fans more .than their share of thrills, even in defeat. At first glance, the Stanford record makes it appear that the Indians don’t deserve to be on anbody’s football field. But you have to take into consideration that they have lost three of those games against tough opposition by a mere whisker. Oregon beat them by one point. Wisconsin edged them by two. And Southern California, the class of the coast, did it by only two points. In eight games, the Indians have yielded 219 points—but they also have scored 176 themselves Predict West Coast Revival “So you lose,” Curtice shrugs without too much distress being evident. “If you stay in this coaching game long enough, its< bound to happen to you againMeanwhile, coaches like Curtice and Pete Elliott of rival California are certain that West Coast football is on its way back to being the powerhouse of old. ine new Big Five - USC, Stanford. California, UCLA and Washington — isn’t quite even with foreign powers this season but the edge hasn’t been too great and the feeling on the golden shores is that Southern Cal could go with anybody this year.
