Pleasant Mills at Huntington Catholic. Friday Geneva at Hoagland < Bulldog Turner Is Named Head Coach Os Titans NEW YORK (UPI) — Clyde (Bulldog) Turner, the new head coach of the New York Titans, today was hopeful that Sammy Baugh will remain with the American Football League team as a Turner was picked to succeed Baugh as the Titans’ head coach Wednesday by club owner Harry Wismer, who had feuded openly with Baugh during the two years of the team’s existence. Baugh has one year remaining on a three-year contract with the Titans, so Wismer offered him a chance to remain with the team as a consultant. “I hope Sam will decide to stay with us and work with me,” said Turner. “He’ll be here in a few days and we’ll talk it over.” Only a week ago, when Wismer threatened to demote Baugh to backfield coach, Sam remarked: “That's wonderful. I’d like to be an assistant at these prices.” Get Same Pay Baugh has been receiving $20,000 a year — the same figure Turner accepted in signing a twoyear contract with Wismer. Turner, regarded as the greatest center in pro football history, has no previous experience as a head coach. However, he served as an assistant coach for the Chicago Bears for six years follwing his retirement as a player in 1952. Baugh refused to be a “yes man” during his two-year tour as head coach and Turner indicated he will follow the same practice in his association with the outspoken Wismer. “I will coach the team the way I see fit,” said the 42-year-old Texas rancher. “It will have nothing to do with how Sam ran or did not run the club. In 25 years of contact with the game, I have gotten into the winning habit and I’m far too old now to change.” Turner got into that winning habit as a star lineman at Har-din-Simmons University and later with the Bears. In Turner’s rookie year at Chicago in 1940, the Bears crushed Baugh and the Washington Redskins, 73-0, in the National Football League championship game. Pro 13 Years During his 13 years with the Bears, Turner was an All-Pro selection eight times. That was the era when the “Monsters of the Midway” completely dominated pro football. Among Turner’s teammates on those great Chicago teams were Sid Luckman, George McAfee, Joe Osmanski and Joe Stydahar. The Titans finished third in the Eastern Division of the AFL this season with a 7-7 record. It was the same won-lost mark they posted under Baugh last year. Baugh publicly criticized Wismer for failing to improve the team’s personnel and to sign his top college draft choices. Wismer, in turn, charged Sam with violating the "loyalty clause' in his contract and showing a complete lack of interest once the season ended. “.Turner will live here at least nine or ten months of the year,” said Wismer. “I’m convinced you can’t operate a major league football team if your coach is somewhere else.”

San Diego And Houston Oilers Top All-Stars NEW YORK (UPl).—The San Diego Chargers and Houston Oilers, who meet next Sunday for the American Football League championship, each placed five players today on the 1961 United Press International annual league All-Star team. Charlie Hennigan of the Oilers, the fleet flanker who gained a pro record 1,746 yards by his pass-catches this season, was the outstanding choice on this year’s team. Hennigan received 20 votes from the 24-man panel which selected the All-Star team. The panel was made up of three regular AFL writers from each league city. Fuliback Bill Mathis of the New York Titans, who was runnerup for the league’s individual rushing championship, was the second most popular choice for his position with 19 votes. Bill Atkins, Buffalo Bills safetyman who led the AFL in punting and pass interceptions, was third with 18 votes. Besides Hennigan, the Houston players honored were quarterback George Blanda and halfback Billy Cannon, who formed the most devastating 1-2 offensive punch in the league, offensive tackle Al Jamison and defensive halfback Tony Banfield. Four of the five San Diego players chosen were on the defensive platoon. They were end Earl Faison and tackle Ernie Ladd, the only two rookies to make the squad, halfback Dick Harris and safetyman Charlie McNeil. The only Chargers offensive player picked was tackle Ron Mix, one of the six repeaters from the 1960 team. - In addition to Mix, the other repeaters were halfback Abner Haynes of the Dalas Texans, last year’s AFL Player-of-the-Year; offensive end LioneT Taylor of the Denver Broncos, offensive guard Bob Miscfcak of the Titans, defensive end Laverne Torczon of Buffalo and defensive tackle Bud McFadin of the Denver Broncos.

Defense—Ends, Faison and Torczon; tackles, Ladd and McFadin; middle linebacker, Sherrill Headrick of Dallas: outside linebackers. Larry Grantham, New York, and

Cincinnati Is Handed First Season Defeat By MILTON RICHMAN Second-ranked Cincinnati and fourth-ranked Providence, no longer among the unbeatens, offered mute but unmistakable evidence today that the quickest way to ruin a fine basketball reputation is to hit the road. Both suffered their first defeats of the season Monday night away from home. The lOth-ranked Wichita Shockers, every bit as good as their nickname, ended Cincinnati’s 27game winning streak with a pulse-thumping 52-51 victory at Wichita, Kan., and De Paul’s Blue Demons toppled Providence, 68-63, at Chicago. Cincinnati had apparent victory all but wrapped up with a 49-46 lead one minute before the final I buzzer. Wichita, however, came up with three field goals, Larry Van Eman producing the clincher for the Shockers in the final three seconds after Bearcat guard Larry Shingleton committed an offensive foul with six seconds left to give Wichita the ball. Van Eman and Paul Hogue of Cincinnati shared high scoring honors with 19 points apiece. Sixth Straight Unranked De Paul had to survive a late surge by Providence to roll up its sixth straight triumph. Four baskets by Ray Flynn and one by John Thompson put Providence ahead by one point five different times in the last four minutes of play. But each time De Paul managed to regain the lead. A pair of free throws by Elgin Dorsey with 1:18 remaining sewed it up for the Blue Demons. 1 Flynn led all scorers with 29 points. Dick Cook paced the win-, ners with 21. There were two other upsets among the top 10 teams, with eighth - ranked Duke defeating sixth-ranked West Virginia, 69-65, at Morgantown, W.Va., and Indiana beating seventh-ranked Arizona State University, 94-88, in another “road disaster” at Bloomington, Ind. Jeff Mullins scored 25 points and Art Heyman 20 to lead Duke’s “Iron Five” in a victory that snapped previously unbeaten West Virginia’s | six - game winning streak. Tom Bolyard, with 31 points, was high scorer for Indiana although it was a 12-point spree by I Jim Rayl in the second half that 1 sparked the Hoosiers to their win. Larry Armstrong was high man for Arizona State U. with 31 points. Top-ranked Ohio State started in high gear, rolling up a 14-3 lead, and then went on to beat St. Louis University, 61-48, at St. Louis for its sixth straight win. Jerry Lucas was the big man for the Buckeyes with 20 points and John Havlicek chipped in with 17. Kansas State, ranked third in the nation, brought its record to 6-0 with a relatively easy 59-43 win over Arizona at Manhattan, Kan. Fifth-ranked Southern California and ninth-ranked Purdue were idle.
