A4URT4L/GH NL'S MANAGER OF YEM | Pressure May Keep | Stenqel With Yanks NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (AP). 1 —The guessing over whether i Casey Stengel, 70-year-old : manager of the Yankees, will 1 retire goes merrily on. with i |the latest report saying he will {remain at the helm because of •the "pressure” being applied (to the front office. While the future of Stengel istill is up in the air, his con- : queror in the World Series. Danny Murtaugh, walked off with the National League's manager-of-the-year honors in the annual Associated Press : /poll. i Murtaugh, whose Pirates ] • brought the world champion- 1 ship to Pittsburgh for the first ' time in 35 years, won a clear- i cut victory over Solly Hemus 1 of the Cardinals in the ballot- i ing by 193 baseball writers. The I Pirates manager received 127 < votes and Hemus the remain ing 66. , It has been rumored for some ■ time—even taken for granted ■ in some quarters—that, this is ■; Stengel's last year with the i Yankees despite his record of 10 Pennants and seven World ; championships in his 12 i with the club. ‘Change of Heart' ! However Drebinger, baseball ] writer for the New York' Times, wrote today that “pressure" in cluding a petition from the New York baseball writers urg ing Stengel to remain "indi cates that if the owners at one time did contemplate a change, | they are now undergoing ah change of heart. Otherwise, : why all this delay?” Stengel, himself, was not available for comment. Dan Topping, co-owner of the club with Del Webb, as serted: "if anyone says hei knows what is about to happen Robertson Sinks 41 Points As All-Stars Beat Knicks NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (AP).— i The College All-Stars, with 1 Oscar Robertson scoring 41 points, ran off 10 straight • points in ,the final three 1 minutes last night to defeat the ' New York Knickerbockers, 115-1 112, before 18,012 in Madison i Square Garden. Robertson, who set a flock ! of collegiate scoring records 1 before graduating from the University of Cincinnati last year and who’ll play for the Cincinnati Royals in the pro league, failed to get any points , in the winning spurt. But it ■ was his feed to Bob Boozer ; that led to the basket which ■ put the Stars on top 113-112 ; with 1:13 to go. Len Wilkens, St. Louis Hawks : property who began popping in the final quarter, stole the ball from New York’s Willie Naulls with 22 seconds remain ing and went all the way for ' the basket which iced the game for the All-Stars. Robertson had plenty of help from Jerry West, West Vir ginia All-America who'll be performing for the Los Angeles Lakers. The two accounted for 22 of their team’s points . in the first quarter which wound up with the Stars on top, 28-27. By halftime Ken Sears, who was New York’s top THE EVENING STAR Wathingfon, 0. C., Irtwrfqt. Octater 15, IMO in our organization, he is strictly guessing. Why? Because right now we honestly do not know.” Webb nodded agree ment. "Nobody is more anxious to clear this up than we are,” Top ping continued. "But there still are a few points.thlt have to be settled. Until then, there is nothing we can say.” Hunt New Pitchers At the same time, the Yan kee brass is starting a hunt for stronger pitchers. In the series only Whitey Ford came through. The little lefthander, whom Stengel calls "a big professional,” twice shut out the Pirates and was the only pitcher on either club to pitch a complete game, get ting the second with only three days rest. In the midst of the series debris, only Ford. 32, and youngsters Bill Stafford, 22J and Ralph Terry, 24 (the slim righthander who gave up the home run by Bill Mazeroski that won the series) appear to be on the hands-off list among the pitchers. Depending on what they could bring on the market, Bob Turley. Art Ditmar, Jim Coates. Ryne Duren. Duke Maas and Eli Grba are trade possibilities. Trades could help the pitch ing picture, with Johnny Anto nelli of the Giants a possibility, and also could produce the left handed hitting outfielder the Yankees want. Some who are available are Charley Maxwell, Detroit; Wes Covington, Mil waukee: Duke Snider, lx>s An geles, and Gus Bell, Cincinnati. Luis Arroyo also could be in the trade-bait group, after the other lefty on the Yankee re lief staff, Bobby Shantz, hung on to a job with series work. scorer with 22, had brought the Knicks to a 58-58 tie. A streak of 13 straight points to start the third session gave New York a 71-58 advantage which Oscar, almost single handedly, cut to 89-86 at the end of the period. Wilkens, former Providence star, came off the bench and rallied the Stars back to vic tory. The Harlem Globetrotters defeated the Washington Gen erals, 67-50, in a preliminary. I Alt Start G F.Pts.

Oct. 15 —ls con- i ditions are right for this after- 1 noon's football game against Boston U„ George Washing- ■ ton's passing attack may at last hit the point where it is 1 50 per cent or more of its 1 offense. 1 A stepped-up air attack that ’ would account for more than 1 half the yardage and scoring was promised by Coach Bill ' Elias when he took over at GW 1 this season. For one reason or * another, it hasn’t happened 1 yet, but indications are that j the Colonials* air game is ready to click. • i 20 -Yard Average 1 The Colonials have been averaging 20 passes a game, . | fewer even than last season, and have totalled 349 air yards ; to 574 ground yards in four ' games. ( An indication that the pass ing attack may be stepped up : came last week in the Virginia Military game when Elias’ new , triple-slot formation clicked for the first time. This attack was designed to spring loose num erous pass receivers, although last week it was used mostly’ as a running offense. But the fact that it’s work ing now and that it, in the! words of Elias, "is giving the defenses fits,” shows that the i coach is ready to turn loose his passers. Percentage Good Two of GW’s passing quar terbacks, Bill Hardy and Chuck Packan, have completed about 50 per cent of their at tempts, which is all that can be asked. Hardy has connected with 15 of 30 and Packan. hampered by injuries, has hit 6 of 13. The other quarterback. Frank Pazzaglia, has completely only 11 of 38. although he was ex pected to be the best passer. Inexperience and minor errors have held him back, and each week the promise is that he' at last will start clicking. Whitey Ford Loser As NL Stars Win Exhibition Game JERSEY CITY, N. J., Oct. 15 (AP).—The National League All-Stars, headed by Ernie Banks, gained a 5-0 victory ! over Roger Maris’ American League All-Stars last night be , fore 6,000 at Roosevelt Stadium. ! Bill Mazeroski, who wielded . the big bat to gain the winning , run in the World Series for the 1 Pirates, went hitless in four i trips at the plate. However, he ' batted in a pair of runs. Don Newcombe, a last-minute addition to the National League team, although he played with the Indians last, and Dick Far rell of the Phillies held the American Leaguers to two hits. Both came off Newcombe, the winning pitcher. Farrell faced only 12 batters in his four innings of relief and fanned 10. The Yankees’ Whitey Ford started for the AL team and was charged with the loss. He hurled for five innings before being replaced by Bud Daley of the Athletics. 2 of Racing's Richest Events Slated Today Beau Prince Choice In Champagne; Rain Likely for Gold Cup Bv th, AMoclated Pre,, The 2-year-olds and handi cap stars take aim at a couple of the richest purses in racing today. Calumet Farm’s Beau Prince and Mrs. Katherine Price's Carry Back head a field of nine juveniles named for the 89th running of the 8100.000-added Champagne States of a mile at Belmont Park. A prediction of overnight showers and a possibility of a sloppy track indicated a wide open race for the field of nine in the 8100.000-added Haw thorne Gold Cup at a mile and a quarter in Chicago. T. V. Lark, Kelso, Dotted Swiss and On-and-On would be the choices on a fast course. The two rich races dominate the national card. Garden State Park features the 825,000 Benjamin Franklin Handicap while 815,000 events include the Man O’ War Handicap at Tanforan, the Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland and the Provi dence Stakes at Narragansett Park. Beau Prince Favored Beau Prince, a July starter to racing, hasn’t won a stakes race yet. but the strapping bay son of Bull Lea was made the 8-5 early choice for the Cham pagne, New York's richest race. If all nine start, it will have a value of 8183,900. Carry Back, winner of the Cowdin and one other race in 17 starts, was rated second at 2-1. Beau Prince won a tuneup race easily at Belmont last week and has three wins, one second and a third in nine starts for earnings of 831,019. Both Beau Prince and Carry Back are good stretch runners and they could put on a thriller for some 40.000 fans at the New York track. The rest of the field includes Harbor View Fqrms’ entry of Roving Minstrel and Garwol *5-1). Leonard P. Sasso’s Globemaster (5-1), F. A. Sher man’s Bronzerullah (10-1), Roslyn Farm’s Annihilation (20-1), R. Lehman’s Ambiopose • 20-1) and J. Sher’s Sherluck (20-1). All nine colts carry 122 pounds each. Factor in Championship The Champagne will help de termine the 2-year-old cham pionship. a wide-open division since the recent injury and subsequent retirement of the formidable Hail to Reason. Hope of a slow track at Hawthorne brought in Natego (110) and Santiago (110), but even on a dull track the fat part of the purse should be a battle among T. V. Lark (121) winner of 8391,080 this year; Dotted Swiss (126), On-and-On (122) and Kelso (117), winner i of four consecutive Eastern stakes. Others in the field in-! elude Hymient (116), Manassa! Mauler (115) and Heroshogala (119). If nine start at Chicago, the purse will total 8144,150. Kelso, a 3-year-old. probably would be favored if the track is fast. Careless John was assigned top weight of 116 pounds for the Benjamin Franklin, a 11/16-mile handicap for 3- year-olds. Careless John was runnerup to Kelso in the Choice, Jerome and Discovery Handicaps. Calumet also shoots for this one with Pied D’Or (114), winner of a prep Tues day. Conestoga and Count Amber, at 115 pounds each, also figure as contenders. Eddie Johns Runs Miami To Victory MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 15 (AP).— Eddie Johns, Miami’s big, hard running quarterback, made up for a porous defense and the Hurricanes defeated South Carolina, 21-6, after a surpris ingly tough football battle last night in the Orange Bowl. The 194-pound Johns, who runs like a halfback, raced 44 yards for a last-quarter touch down to put the clincher on a rugged opponent trying to battle its way back to respecta bility after humiliating losses to Duke and Georgia. The long run climaxed a I brilliant night for Johns, who ran for 109 yards and passed for 81. Giese Impressed "You can’t blame us for Eddie Johns.” South Carolina Coach Warren Giese said. “He was the difference. Miami Coach Andy Gustaf son added: “The big boy came through for us again. If he , hadn’t it would have been ; awful. They really pushed our L defense around.” Miami’s first touchdown drive, covering 76 yards after the i opening kickoff, was a one-man , performance by Johns. He ! broke away for rushing gains . of 21 and 13 yards, completed ■ two passes for 23 yards, then threw 6 yards to Nick Ryder for , the score. > Sauselle Goes Over L Johns got off to a 22-yard . run and completed an 11-yard > pass to Bill Miller in the second . quarter that ended in Ted Sau- > selle’s 6-yard touchdown romp with a pitchout from Johns. s But the Miami defense was [ hard put to protect the lead. South Carolina controlled the 1 ball for 19 plays in a 73-yard I ground drive that started in the : third period and ended in the s fourth when Carl Huggins ' darted 9 yards for the only Gamecock touchdown.

Quarterback Lowndes Shing ler will have three sophs in his Clemson backfield but all of them had sensational high school and freshman reputa tions, Bill McGuirt at fullback, and Elmer Lam of Elkton, Va., and Mack Matthews at half backs. Maryland has only one re maining home game, against South Carolina October 29. The Terps play Wake Forest in Winston-Salem next Saturday, night.

What hap pens thereafter depends on the course of the game. Word from the big city is that Conerly, the Giants’ 39- year-old passing ace, is still troubled by a sore arm and won't be used if Shaw is on the beam. But Charlie will do the kicking, filling in for injured Don Chandler. Shaw, the Baltimore Colts’ bonus pick in 1955. is in his second season with the Giants. I and is doing very well, too. The former Oregon quarterback has connected on 28 of 48 passing attempts for a 58.3 percentage —second best in the league. l Shaw also runs the ball on oc- i casion. although most of this work is left to Frank Gifford and Joe Morrison. Guglielmi didn't do badly in his debut against the Dallas Cowboys last week, completing 10 of 16 passes in leading the Redskins to a 26-14 triumph. The victory ended a 12-game losing streak that extended back to the last five games of 1959. The Redskins’ hopes for a second straight win will be riding on Goog’s arm.

Falcons Attract 50,000 Fans to Baltimore Game By BILL FUCHS Star Staff Writer BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.—The Navy and Air Force attempted to decide today which is better equipped for Joattle on a 100- yard strip of land, as the first football game between the two service arms unfolded in Me morial Stadium. With its unbeaten record and ranking of fifth best team in the Nation, according to the Associated Press list. Navy was a 9-point favorite to beat the Falcons, now in their fifth sea son of varsity football. Kickoff time was 1:30. with Washington fans getting television (WMAL -7) and radio (WRC) coverage. A crowd of 50,000 was ex pected and they, were to be treated to marching banks, a parade of smartly-outfitted midshipmen and cadets and a halftime show featuring the trained flights of a pair of prairie falcons, official mascots of the visitors. The football Falcons hoped to bounce back from last Sat urday’s loss to sixth-ranked Missouri, which came in the wake of one-sided victories over Colorado State and Stanford. Navy beat Boston College, Vil lanova, Washington and South ern Methodist and, counting the final three games of last season, was qut to extend a seven-game winning streak. Pride of the Falcons is Rich Mayo, the Nation’s leading passer with 54 completions in 99 attempts for 504 yards and five touchdowns. The Middies have Joe Bellino, one of the Nation’s most explosive run ners. and for quarterbacking were calling on Hal Spooner | to start for the first time. Spooner has been hurt, but has recovered sufficiently and just in time, for Harry Dietz, who has been filling in nicely on' the first unit, has an in jured shoulder, suffered last week. Matalavage Ready Dietz, star of last year’s 150- ' pound championship team, suited up, but definitely out of. action were Al Hughes, second team halfback, who wrenched a knee in Wednesday’s practice, and Guard Doug Falconer, suf fering with pneumonia. Steve Hoy, an eager sophomore, showed against SMU last week that he can be an adequate first-team substitute for the veteran Falconer. Jarring Joe Matal’.v ge, Navy’s star fullback and the inside complement to Belli io’s outside maneuvering, was ready to go full steam. The Air Force has good run ners, too, in Halfbacks Don Baucom and Mike Quinlan and Fullback Monte Moor be rg, along with Mayo. \ Both teams claimed quick, aggressive lines and each said it was full of desire to win this one, which is very special. One had to lose, unless the finish was like the first game between the Falcons and Army last year, i a 13-13 tie. Kubek Discharged From Hospital PITTSBURGH. Oct. 15 (AP). —Shortstop Tony Kubek of the Yankees was discharged from , Eye and Ear Hospital yesterday after being detained overnight for observation of a throat in jury suffered in World Series finale. He left for his home in Milwaukee. Kubek’s vocal cord was se verely bruised when a ground ball off Bill Virdon’s bat took a bad hop and hit him in the 'throat. The hit left two men |on base with none out in the I eighth and led to a five-run .Pirate rally. The Pirates went |on to win the seventh and de ciding game, 10-9.
