WHITE FALCON
S
Koufax Cuts Loose;
Trump Card For LA
It has been said that it takes nine men to make a base-
ball team, each doing his own job. One man is not supposed
to make that much difference to a team. Sandy Koufax
proved the exception in the 1965 World Series with a per-
formance that will never be forgotten.
Since 1962, Koufax has been®
regarded as one of the top pitch-
ers in baseball, having thrown
a no-hitter each of the years since
that time. However, two of those
years, his season was cut short
by injuries. Early in spring train-
ing this year, the Dodgers an-
nounced that Sandy had an arthri-
tic condition in the elbow and he
would be lucky if he could pitch
once a week this season.
Koufax Sets Record
Koufax refused to concede de-
feat, however, and with medica-
tion and therapy, was able to
start the season pitching in reg-
ular rotation. By mid-August, his
record was a remarkable 17 and
3 and he was rated an excellent
chance to become the first pitcher
since Dizzy Dean to win 30 games
in a season.
Then Sandy’s luck ran out or
the holes in the Dodger bats got
bigger but he still finished with
a 26 and 8 record. What a slump!
On top of this, he broke Bob Fel-
ler’s strikeout record for one year
firing the ball 379 times past the
batters. Not bad for a pitcher who
was not supposed to pitch more
than once a week.
Hero Of World Series
Koufax started the second game
of the World Series and was in
there for six innings, allowing
two runs, one of them unearned.
He was then taken out for a pinch-
hitter and eventually lost the
game.
Sandy came back in the fifth
game of the series and this time
shut the Twins out on five hits.
Then with two days rest, the fire-
baller came back to pitch the sev-
enth and deciding game.
It looked like curtains in the
first inning when Minnesota put
two men on with nobody out but
Sandy gamely held on and retired
the American League champs in
order. From then on is history
for that was the last 1965 threat
for the Twins. Mixing up his cur-
ves and fastballs, Koufax spun
a brilliant three-hitter once again
making Los Angeles baseball
champions of the world.
Wills And The Boys
The Dodgers had many stars
in this World Series and it is im-
possible to discount one of them
or the importance of their play.
Maury Wills and the boys ran as
expected and got clutch pitching
from Don Drysdale and Claude
Osteen when they were two games
down but Koufax stands out above
all.
The former sandlot star from
Brooklyn has come a long way in
his struggle to achieve stardom
and is the top choice for the Na-
tional. League’s Most Valuable
Player award. One can only
wonder what he would have done
if he were 100 per cent well.

Imagination Shows The Way
In Improvements and Cost Cuts
(Editor's note: This is the last of a two-part series de-
signed to help you, to help yourself . . and your govern-
ment. You can earn money for yourself and also save the
government many dollars.)
To help servicemen respond to President Johnson’s chal-
lenge to be “alert and efficient in conserving the nation’s
resources entrusted to his care” and to devise and propose
“ways to improve his perform-1®---------------
ance,” here are additional tips on
making good beneficial sugges-
tions.
In the first article on how to
make worthwhile work-improving
suggestions, employees were urged
to tackle suggestions the success-
ful way... .step by step.
The first five steps listed were:
(1) concentrate on what you know
best, (2) pick a situation which
needs improvement, (3) pinpoint
the problem, (4) get all the facts,
and (5) analyze to facts . . . ask
why.
Follow These Steps
Now, for just a few additional
steps that successful idea-getters
and suggesters agree work best:
(6) Turn loose your imagina-
tion. Go after ideas . . . lots of
ideas ... all you can think up.
Your only guarantee that you will
eventually pick the best solution
is to think of a wide range of
possible solutions.
Use these idea starters: (a) put
things together and combine
things, (b) move things around
or change their order, (c) look at
things from a different view . . .
upside down, sideways, etc., (d)
make things bigger, (e) make
things smaller.
Evaluate Factors
(7) Now evaluate your ideas.
Consider such factors as: Is the
solution practical? Will it work?
Will it save time, material, effort,
equipment, space? Will it improve
service or quality? How will it af-
fect other operations? What is the
cost of installing the idea?
Once you’ve picked the best
solution, double check it. Think
it through. Talk it over. If this
procedure shows your idea is
worthwhile, you are now ready to
submit your suggestion.
(8) Sell your suggestion. A well-
organized, clear and complete
presentation of your idea and its
expected benefits is the insurance
for getting your idea accepted.
In writing up your suggestion,
first, identify the problem as to
current practices and background.
Next, explain your proposed solu-
tion how the new practice differs
and how it will achieve the bene-
fits you expect.
Who Will Benefit
Then, point out the expected
benefits ... in dollars, if possi-
ble . . . from your proposal, speci-
fying benefits that can be mea-
sured in time, labor, equipment,
materials, space etc. Also, identify
benefits that cannot be measured,
as better service, improved qua-
lity, safer working conditions. Be
sure to point out who will bene-
fit and how. A solid reliable con-
servative statement is better than
one that exaggerates.
Above all, remember you can’t
force acceptance of your idea ...
you have to sell it. This means
convincing the reader that your
suggestion is a worthwhile im-
provement.

The Radio Log
by Mick Spillane, YN3
From mystery to fantasy to
suspense this is the backbone of
drama filled listening on 1484
this Satui-day.
At 4:30 A.M., Harold Peary
stars in “Mr. Harrison and the
Lady Racketeer.” Playing the role
as Bill Harrison, Peary is com-
pletely cowed by his supervisor
even though he is more competent
than the domineering boss. Listen
to how the plot switches as an un-
known, rich, aunt comes to visit
Bill. Host for this enjoyable edi-
tion of “Family Theater” is John
Lund.
“Big Jon and Sparky” move in
at 8:05 A.M. Jon Arthur, as
Big Jon and the voice of Sparky,
entertains with stories and music
for children of all ages.
Suspense fills the air on “Radio
Novel” when a young woman
struggles to regain her memory
of a dark and shadowy past. A
young man tries to help her but
the lady seems to shy away from
each thing that brings back mem-
ories. Don’t miss “When The
Bough Breaks” at 10:05 A.M. on
Armed Forces Radio.
