Yogi Berra To Manage Yanks Next Season NEW YORK (UPI) — Sound thinking Yogi Berra, faced with a choice of two managerial jobs will prove once again he’s nobody’s dummy when he officiay signs to manage the New York Yankees Thursday for $50,000. The squat, 38-year-old Yogi thus will turn his back on a decidedly J_less tempting opportunity to manage the Baltimore Orioles. His signing at an appropriately elaborate press conference also will complete a high echelon reshuffling by the Yankees which began Tuesday when 44-year-old Ralph Houk succeeded 61-year-old Roy Harney as general manager. Yogi Was Ready The naming of Berra as the Yankees’ new manager may come as something of a surprise to the general baseball p’ublic but it certainly won’t bowl over Yogi. Like Houk, Berra was fully aware all last year that he would step up the Yankee ladder at this time. When the Boston Red Sox showed interest in Yogi ds a manager before they hired Johnny Pesky a year ago, the Yanks advised Berra to “sit tight.” And when President Lee Mac Phail of the Orioles inquired as to Yogi’s availability during the past two weeks, the Yankees told him they had managerial plans for# Berra themselves. Begad With Yankees ' Berra, who began his career with the Yankees in 1946 and served as a player-coach last season, batted .293 for them this year and hit eight homers. He owns a .285 lifetime batting average and his 358 homers are the most ever hit by a catcher in major league history. Winner of the MVP award in 1951, 1954 and 1955, Yogi has played in 13 World Series and holds more than a dozen series records. i He will be strictly a bench manager next season, leaving not only th* (Caching liner 1 but also- the 'hittifft' to <Wneorirt else. Berra will take over the job at which Houk was so eminently successffl during his three years at the helm. Houk won three pennants in as many tries and two World Series.

Archery Season On ] Deer Opens Saturday < INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The 1 bowhunting season for deer will begin Saturday as scheduled, I despite' tinder-dry woods, but 2 the Indiana Department of Conservation has urged the archers l to be careful with fires. A department spokesman con- ] ceded Tuesday, however, that < “high winds could change the picture” and bring a decision to delay the start of the season. The regular shotgun season for deer hunting does not begin 1 until Nov. 28 and will last * through Dec. 7. The department spokesman said that having hunters in the < woods could be a help in spot- j ting fires before they have time to get a good start. He noted 1 that most of the fires are ] “started by people burning trash and debris” and not by < hunters. ( So far, the department has < issued about 3,000 deer permits < to archers with the possibility that more will be obtained after the season starts. Last year the department issued 4,082 bowhunting permits for deer. 1 r ] Wells County Youth ; On Sports Program ; A Wells county youth, 14-year-old Larry Wilkin, who has been a competitor at the Decatur gokart track, will appear on the ABC television network program t "Wide World of Sports,” this Saturday.

He was crowned “grand national champion of go-kart racing” for his victory in the meet. .4 A portion of the program will be devoted to the race and Wilkin’s crowning. It may be seen on Fort Wayne station WPTA from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wilkin, who competed several times during the past season at the Decatur track, earned his way to the national title by collecting points in three regional races, a state event, territorial ' competition and the national meet.

Nine Os 10 Top Ranked Teams Favored * NEW YORK (UPD — Nine of the nation’s 10 top-ranked college football teams are rated favorites in next Saturday's games leaving it up to thirdranked Pittsburgh to demonstrate its ability to beat Navy. The Middies are ranked “only” Uth — eight notches below Pittsburgh — but the oddsmarkers rate them a five-point choice on the strength of the brilliant quarterbacking of Roger Staubach. Staubach passed the Panthers dizzy last season to give Navy a 32-9 rout and the odds-makers apparently expect him to do it again. First-ranked Texas is a twotouchdown choice over Rice, second-ranked Wisconsin is picked by eight points over Ohio State and fourth-ranked Illinois is a 10-point pick over UCLA. Rounding out the top 10, Alabama is 26 over Houston, Mississippi is 28 over Vanderbilt, Oklahoma is 23 over Kansas State, Auburn is idle.
