Whitey Ford will serve in dual capacities with the New York
Yankees next season. The 35-year-old star left-handed hurler will
act as pitching coach along with taking his regular turn on the
mound. Ford is replacing Johnny Sain as coach. Sain, a former
Yankee pitcher, failed to come to an agreement in contract bargaining
with Yank General Manager Ralph tiouk. Ford has long been tlie
mainstay of the Yankee staff and his experience will now be available
to young pitchers as well as the regulars.
In other baseball action during the off season, Rocky Colavito,
star slugger of the Detroit Tigers, and pitcher Bob Anderson, along

500 were treated with two fine
handball exhibitions and wrestling
events including contests to de-
termine a champ. Teams partici-
pating were from the athlectic
clubs iR and KR.
Starting off the program were
two teams of girls from 14-15
years of age in a hard fought
handball game. The girls, showing
poise and skill, provided some
unique viewing for most of the
local fans. Displaying the deter-
mination of their male counter-
parts, the girls were highly talen-
ted for their young ages.
Following the girls game, an
unusual form of wrstling was
presented by seven Icelandic
strong men. The sport called
“Glima” is a contest to try and
knock your opponent to the floor
by grasping him around the waist
and lifting him off his feet. A
rug game was also exhibited. The
ancient sport resembles the
American game of “keep-a-wey”
in which you try to keep the
object in quest from one man.
Rounding out the afternoon’s
entertainment was a men’s hand-
ball game marked by fierce com-
petitiveness and sharp play. The
game was highlighted by the
sparkling play of the goalies for
both squads as they constantly
drew applause with standout
blocks of what seemed sure goals.
Two members of the “Glima”
wrestling team struggle to unseed
the other at last Sunday’s Ice-
landic sports program.
place is Alabama followed by Illinois, Nebraska and Auburn roun-
ding out the top ten. The Orange of Syracuse head the second ten
with Penn St. close behind.
The league leading Chicago Bears of the western division in the
NFL suffered a big loss in last week’s 26-7 win over the Green Bay
Packers. The Bears bone-crushing fullback Rick Casares was injured
in the second half of the hard fought game. Casares is expected to
be sidelined for the rest of the current season. Halfback Charlie
Bivins may move to fullback to back up remaining power runner

A quick look at the NBA standings early in the season finds in
the eastern division that the Boston Celtics with Bill Russell and
company are in first place with an 11-1 record. Cincinnati with
rookie Jerry Lucas and veteran Oscar Robertson showing the way
are in second place with and 8-6 mark. Third is Philadelphia, 5-8,
and finally cellar dwelling New York at 5-10. However the Knicks
could be the surprise of the league with the emergence of Billy
“The Hill” McGill as a 30-point plus man and the great play of
rookie Art Heyman.
In the western division its a tie between Los Angeles and St. Louis.
The Lakers are led by the fabulous Elgin Baylor and the equally
talented Jerry West. In St. Louis, long time star Bob Pettit is still
the hope of the Hawks. In third place is San Francisco headed by
scoring phenomenon Wilt Chamberlain. Detroit holds down fourth
spot thanks to sharpshooting Don Ohl. Last place Baltimore will
need more than Walt Bellamy and Terry Dischinger to rise from
the bottom.
One of the men’s handball team’s players has spotted an opening and
is preparing to fire the ball at opponents goal in exciting contest
played last Sunday at the field house.
