Reds Admit
Whitey Ford
Top Pitcher
NEW YORK i/F) — The Cincin-
nati Reds admitted today, almost
to a man, that if they had to
face Whitey Ford every day, they
might as well fold their tents and
go home.
Ford, the only native-born mem-
ber of the New York Yankees,
mowed the Reds down, 2-0, on a
slick 2-hitter to give the Yanks
a 1-0 World Series edge Wednes-
day.
A couple of the Reds even paid
him the supreme compliment of
comparing him with Warren
Spahn as the top left-hander they
ever had faced.,
“He had more stuff than Spahn
yesterday,” said first baseman
Gordy Coleman. “But, gosh, how
many days can a guy throw a 2
hitter”
Only Eddie Kasko and Wally
Post get hits off Ford, both sin-
gles. He completely throttled the
Reds’ big guns, Frank Robinson
and Vada Pinson.
“He kept pitching me tight and
getting me out,” said Robinson,
who' struck out in both his official
at-bats. “He sure surprised me
with all the fast balls hew threw.”
Observed Pinson: “Ford is fast-
er than Spahn. He pitches his
game. He never gave us a
chance.”
Ford’s victory Wednesday gave
him eight in the World Series,
breaking his tie with Red Ruffing
and Allie Reynolds, both former
Yankees. The shutout also gave
him 27 consecutive scoreless in-
nings. Three more and he’ll break
Babe Ruth’s World Series record
of 29 2-3 back in the days before
the Babe became an outfielder.

Taylor Ducks in Underdog Role
Against Undefeated Cameron
TOP HORSES ENTERED

the nation’s top 3-year-old trotters
are entered for Friday’s $59,330
Kentucky Futurity, the third jewel
in trotting’s triple crown.
Save gasoline and shop at home,
By LIN MILLS ,
The Taylor Ducks, still cring-
ing from last week’s 3-0 upset by |
Rockdale, are definitely in the
underdog slot this week as they
take on the impressive Cameron
Yoemen in Cameron in the last
non-district game of the season.
Coach Raymond Haas’ Ducks,
who have managed only two
wins while dropping three games,
are up against a team that has
won four games and tied one
The Yoemen are yet tfco taste
defeat and they don’t think this
is the week to start.
The Yoepien started the season
with a 15-6 win over West. After
'.Ting Rosebud 14-14, the rapidly
improving Yoemen went on to win
three more, dropping Rogers 26-

“It’ll be another good, tight
game,” Coach Haas said, and
as an afterthought added, “I hope
the game isn’t a pushover for
them.”
Haas agreed Taylor is the un-
derdog. He said he expected
more of a defensive battle than
an offensive encounter.
Big, 197-pound fullback Ernest
Bayer is the man to watch when
the Yoemen go on offense. Bay-
er is fairly speedy, enough to cir-
cle the ends. And, of course, he’s
big enough to barrell his way up
the middle
He and left halfback Amos Dos-
kocil do most of the running
Doskocil, a 150-pounder, is the
specialist on the wide plays.*He’s
the fellow most likely to break
loose when the defense is concen-
trating on the big fullback,
Bayer has been averaging 5.6
yards per carry. Doskocil has
averaged 8.4. But a lad who car-
ries only ocasionally, David Wal-
ston the left halfback, has the
yards.
“They either have potent backs
or a terrific offense,” Coach
Haas commented.
Cameron has concentrated more
on a crushing ground attack
than an aerial assault, but still
the Yoemen have thrown the ball
as much or more than their
opponents, with the fullback, Bay-
er, doing most of the throwing
even more than the quarterback,
150-pounder Jimmy Woodum
Fullback Bayer and 181-pound
(guard Bobby Hillmen the two line
backers have drawn acclaim for
their defensive abilities.
The Yoemen operate from the
“Winged T” most of ithe time, al-
though they come out in several
different variations and set ups.
Often they line up in the double
ving. Sometimes the wingman is
the1 fullback. They have not been
splitting their ends.
Taylor defeated the Yoemen
last year 34-6. The Ducks domi-
nated the game throughout. Cam-
eron’s only score came on a
long pass play in the second' half.
Coach Haas reports two injuries
this week. Ervin Isensee, tac-
kle. definitely will not play. He is
suffering -from bad bruises about
the legs, involving some infec-
tions. The other tackle. Elton
Berry, is ailing with a wrenched
back, but Haas thinks he’ll be
ready to go Friday night.
Guard Gene McAlpine got his
arm bruised in the Rockdale
game, but is about ready to go
Haas said doctors would inform
“Lucky” Fitzgerald, w!ho received
a broken arm several weeks ago
on when he could return to the
lineup
Haas’ starting line-up will be
just about as it was last week
Welch, who sometimes goes in at
fullback, will be in the line at
his tackle slot. Charles Patterson
who plays all backfieid positions
will start at the fullback slot.
In the weight department, the
Ducks have a 14-pound advant-
age over the Yoemen in, the
backfieid, 171 pounds to 157. In
the line the teams are mjore near-
'v equnl, the Ducks averaging
179 and Cameron 167
In connection with the Ducks’
9-0 loss to Rockdale last week
Coach Haas had several com-
ments to make
“I’ve always said football is 90
desire,” he said .“And
Pr^kdale bad more desire than
we did. But the secret to Rock-
•ale’s win was their defense. Their
■ushing was terrific. They rushed
our passer badly. We should' have
been able to beat Rockdale on
passing, since they used a nine
man line against us, but they
rushed so hard our passing was
not as effective as it should have
been.
“We had a good average on
pass completions, but I was dis-
appointed in our total passing
game,” Haas continued. “It is
not meeting our full expectations
yet.”
Haas said it’s hard to believe
I
statistics which the Ducks domi-
nated. “We made yardage almost
at will in the middle of the
field, but we just couldn’t push
the ball- past the goal line.
“Their punting kept us backed
up all night, forcing us to go for
the long distance scores. One time
we drove nearly 90 yards and
failed to score. When the yardage
between you and the goal line is
so large time and time again it
has a bad effect on the team,”
Haas said.
The head coach said he had
no idea Taylor was going to
lose the game until he looked up
at the clock and saw 'that only
two minutes- remained. “I just
knew we’d break loose at any
time,” he said.
It was one of those games in
which Rockdale was a team that
had everything to gain and nothing
to lose, Haas said. They decided
to “go for broke” and made it.
The Ducks open their season
with Giddings in Taylor next Fri-
day night. Giddings is the pre-
season favorite to win the cham
pionship and, judging by their
non-district performance, is living
up to expectations.
Game time is 8 p.m.
