Decatur Commodores Drop 63 -51 Decision Saturday To Marion Bennett Team

By Bob Shrsluka An ice-cold third quarter and the Guerrero brothers were major factors as the Decatur Commodores dropped their third outing of the new season at Marlon Saturday night, a 63-51 decision to the Trojans of Marion Bennett. A combined total of 38 points scored by Pedro and Rich Guerrero, plus a nine-point third quarter by the Decatur five, contributed to the Commodore downfall, their second' of the season against one victory. A nip and tuck battle through the first half, the Bennett boys broke things wide open in the third period, boosting a four-point halftime margin to a 19-polnt lead, and coasted home through the final stanza. Bennett led nearly throughout the first period, but held only a slim 16-14 lead going into the second eight minutes, and upped their lead to 28-24 at halftime. Pedro Red-Hot Pedro Guerrero was nearly the entire show in the first half, tallying nine points in the first period, and 15 of his team’s first 21 points. Mike Baker, who turned in a fine job in his first action of the season, had counted a pair of free throws with a minute to play in the first quarter to tie things at 14-all, but Turrie of Marion scored on a rebound effort with eight seconds left, and Marion never again trailed. Rebound baskets by Baker and Jim Schultz in the final minute of play in the second quarter, had cut the Marion lead to four points at the main intermission. It appeared someone had put a lid on the Commodores basket during the halftime intermission, however, as the Decatur boys couldn’t get anything to stick in the third period, while Bennett suddenly became red-hot. Score 24 points Led by three fielders by each of the Guerreros, Bennett racked up 24 points in the quarter, while the Commodores could connect for only three field goal’s and three free throws, and Marion held a 52-33 advantage entering the last frame. Shots began sticking for the Decatur five in the last quarter, as they slowly began to whittle the hander cut the margin to 61-51 with only a minute to play, but the Marion led.

Giants Wallop . Redskins, Near Division Title Y. A. Tittle and Del Shofner, New York’s “TD twins,” take the high-scoring Giants' aerial circus to Chicago next Sunday with a chance to wrap up the National Football League’s Eastern Division title against an ancient and often dangeruus foe. The Giants once again demonstrated — this time to capacity crowd of 49,219 in Washington D.C. Stadium — that an accurate pass and a sure-handed receiver are the shortest route to a score in the NFL. With Tittle pitching and Shofner catching, the Giants steam-rollered the Washington Redskins, 42-24, Sunday and now need only one more victory in three remaining games to nail down their second straight Eastern title. However, the task may not be as easy as all that, for the first roadblock is the Chicago Bears, who, alternately good and bad this season, put on a high-scor-ing show of their own only 23 miles away in Baltimore Sunday with a pulverizing, 57-0, rout of the Colts. Os course, if they don’t get by the Bears, then the Giants will have a chance to wrap up the title against the Cleveland Browns — another time-honored opponent — the following Sunday or against the Dallas Cowboys in the finale on Dec. 16. Browns Beat Steelers The Browns, written off only two weeks ago, rebounded back into the Eastern race by whipping the Pittsburgh Steelers, 35-14, while the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Cowboys, 28-14; the San Francisco Forty Niners downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 24-17, and the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings battled to a 24-24 tie. The defending champion Green Bay Packers, beaten by the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day for their first loss of the season, were idle Sunday along with the Lions. Both resume action this Sunday with the Packers hosting the Rams in Milwaukee and the Lions entertaining the Colts. Only a game separates Detroit and Green Bay in their race for»the Western title. The Giants opened their assault on the crippled Redskins with a score on the opening kickoff. Rookie Johnny Counts ran it back 90 yards and the avalanche was on with a momentary interruption for a field goal by Bob Khayat in the first periold and a 15-year TD toss from Norm Snead to Bobby Mitchell just before the half. Sets Club Record* Tittle, who set a new club record of 25 TD tosses in a season, ripped off scoring passes of 20, 10 and 44 yards to Shofner and running bac'ks Phil King and Alex Webster smashed over on short runs to make it 42-10. Then, with the game out of reach, Washington reserve quarterback Galen Hall connected on scoring tosses of 18 and 48 yards to Dick James. Shofner’s three TD receptions tied him with Mitchell for the NFL lead, each with 10. The Bears had an even easier time with the Colts, who suffered the worst beating in their history. Bill Wade completed 23 of 32 passes, three for TDs, and ran over for another score in leading Chicago to its seventh victory in 11 games. The Bears picked up 407 vardsrushingands7 passing. The Browns (6-4-1) climbed over -the Redskins and Steelers into second Rlace by beating Pittsburgh and now must win all of their remaining games and hope the Giants (9-2) lose all of theirs to create a 1 tie in the Eastern Division. Reserve quarterback Frank Ryan was their big hero Sunday, pitching three TD passes, including one—to Jimmy Brown who scored three times. Eagles Win Second The Eagles, without a victory since Sept. 23, scored three times within the first 17 minutes and then hung on to beat the Cowboys. Amos Marsh scored twice

Whips Purdue CHICAGO (UPI) — The football fans’ dream—a bowl game for the mythical national championship—could well take place when Wisconsin meets Southern California on New Year’s Day. Wisconsin’s victory over Minnesota for the Big Ten championship Saturday was almost a cinch to elevate the Badgers from the No. 3 ranking they took into the contest. Southern California, Wisconsin’s Rose Bowl opponent, is not likely to topple from the top rung it held before Saturday’s conquest of UCLA. Wisconsin has finished its season but the Trojans must overcome one more obstacle to their No. 1 status — next Saturday’s with Notre Dame. Southern Cal, now 9-0-0 for the season, undoubtedly will be favored in the game at Los Angeles. But oddsmakers will have to take into account that the latestarting Irish will be shooting for their fifth consecutive victory in one of those tradition - steeped rivalries that often defies form. The Badgers erased any doubt about their qualifications to fly the Big Ten colors in the Rose Bowl with Saturday’s 14=9 victory. In their march to the title the Badgers had earlier disposed of Indiana, lowa, Michigan, Northwesternandlllinois. Upset victories by Illinois and I

Dallas Texans Clinch Tie In AFL Division By DICK JOYCE UPI Sports Writer Li’l Abner Haynes is a big man in Texas and the pro football world, too, today — ranking alongside Steve Van Buren and Jimmy Brown in the record book as he helped the Dallas Texans clinch a tie for the Western Division title in the American Football League. Haynes, a Moot, 180-pounder, scored his 17th and 18th touchdowns of the season to lead the Texans over the winless Oakland Raiders, 35-7, Sunday on runs of 33 and 19 yards. The pro football record of 18 touchdowns was set by Van Buren of the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles in 1945, matched by Jimmy Brown of the Cleveland Browns in 1958 and tied by the Houston Oilers' Bill Groman last season. Houston Beats Chargers Van Buren set his mark during a 10-game season, Brown in 12 games and Groman in 14 games. Haynes has three more games in which to surpass the trio. In the AFL’s only other action Sunday, Houston took over sole possession of first place in the Eastern Division with a 33-27 victory over the San Diego Chargers. The Oilers, with an 8-3 record, hold a half-game lead over the Boston Patriots, 7-3-1. Boston whipped the Buffalo Bills, 21-10, Friday night, and the New York Titans edged the Denver Broncos, 46-45, Thanksgiving Day. Haynes piled up 112 yards and teammate Curt McClinton 109 yards as the Texans earned their ninth victory against two losses. Second place Denver has a 7-5 record. Lenny Dawson, the AFL’s No. 1 passer, also played a major part in the victory, connecting for two touchdown passes with Fred Arbanas and running for another. Extend Losing Streak Oakland suffered its 11th consecutive loss of the season and 17th in-a-row over two seasons. The Raiders picked up only 53 yards on the ground. Veteran George Blanda’s two field goals following his 16-yard scoring pass to Willard Dewveall in the fourth period pulled out the triumph for the Oilers. Dewveall also was on the scoring end of a 98-yard pass play wi th Jacky Lee, ' San Diego led 21-17 at halftime as Blanda could complete only one of 10 passes, and 27-19 in the fourth quarter. Charger quarterback John Hadi threw three touchdown passes, hitting Jacque MacKinnon, Dan Kocourek and 'Ray Carolan. Blanda, who wound up completing 5 of 18 passes for 71 yards, but kicked field goals of 42 , 22 and 39 yards. Indiana prevented a possible fourway jam for their place. Michigan State and Purdue, both favored to win, wound up with 3-3 records after the Illini stopped the Spartans 7-6 and the Hoosiers took the Old Oaken Bucket with their 12-7 surprise over the Boilermakers. As a result, only Ohio State and Northwestern were tied for third with 4-2 records. Ohio State moved up with a 28-0 rout of Michigan. Indiana’s victory was its first over a league rival in three years and its first over Purdue since 1947. In non-conference action, lowa was beaten by Notre Dame 35-12 and Northwestern closed with Friday r nighTs 29-7 vwfoly over Miami.

Bo WiningerWins Carling Golf Open ' ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) - Big game hunting golf pro Bo Wininger shot a 67 Sunday for a 10-urfder-par 274 and top money in the 10th annual Carling Open golf tournament. The soft-spoken Texan eagled the 15th hole to grab a two-stroke lead on Bert Weaver of Edgewater, Miss. Weaver closed the gap to one stroke and had a chance to tie the match, but missed a birdie on the final hole by inches. Wininger, from Odessa, Tex., won $5,300 for his efforts. This was the largest purse of his career. Weaver won $3,400 for his nine-under-par 275 on the Rio Pinar course here. Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla., seeking his third win, finished the tourney with 277 and a check for $2,000. Finsterwald was shooting for the SIO,OOO bonus for three-time winners of the $35,000 Carling Open. Wininger’s eagle on the 15th hole broke the tourney wide open. His second wood shot landed just six feet from the cup on the par five hole. At fourth place was Miller Barber with a 279. Clustered at fifth place at 281 were Dan Sikes, John Pott, Carl Bondeson and J. C. Goosey.

Player Trades Made By Five League Teams ROCHESTER, N.Y. (UPI)— Trading in rapid-fire fashion, the Houston Colts put in a bid for Joe Adcock today after landing American League batting champion Pete Runnels while the Detroit Tigers planned still another deal to go with two they made Sunday. The winger baseball meetings actually don’t start until today but Houston, Detroit, Boston, Baltimore and Cleveland didn’t even bother to wait. All five swung deals Sunday and here is how they went: —Runnels was traded to the Colts by the Red Sox for outfielder Roman Mejias. —Catcher Gus Triandos and outfielder Whitey Herzog went to the Tigers from the Orioles in exchange for catcher Dick Brown. —And the Tigers also obtained third baseman Rubba Phillips from the Indians for pitchers

Ron Nischwttz and Gordon Sayfried. Btumeb Swap Blggwt The biggest deal of the day was the Runnels-Mejias swap and Houston officials indicated they would attempt to follow it up by trying to get Adcock from the Qraveg. • “We needed a dependable hitter like Runnels,” said Colts General Manager Paul Richards. "We realize he doesn't hit the long ball too often but there aren’t many better hitters than him in the game.” The 34-year-okl, lefthanded hitting Runnels beat out Mickey Mantle for the American League batting crown by five points this year with a .328 average, although he drove in only 61 runs and hit 10 homers in 152 games. Runnels, who never averaged less than 314 in five seasons with the Red Sox, also won the AL batting title in 1960 with a .320 mark. “We’re thinking of Runnels either at second base or In the outfield even though he generally played first base for the Red Sox," Richards revealed. Red Sox “Tickled" That’s where Adcock suddenly comes into Houston’s plans. If the Colts can get him from the Braves — “but we’re certainly not going to give up Dick Farrell to get him” — Adcock probably would hold down first base until Rusty Staub, a brilliant 18-year-old rookie, is ready to take over. For their part, the Red Sox were “tickled” to get the 30-year-old Mejias in their second interleague deal within five days. They obtained Dick Stuart from the Pirates last Wednesday and are counting on him and Mejias to bombard Fenway Park’s beckoning left field wall. Mejias hit 24 homers and drove in 75 runs for the Colts this year while batting .286. Rod Schwartz Hurt In Butler Practice Rod Schwartz, former Berne Bears’ basketball star, suffered a sprained left ankle last week while practicing with the Butler University Bulldogs. Schwartz, sophomore candidate for a berth with the Bulldogs, will be out of action for some time.
