Arkansas Has Lot
Of Action in Alworth
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. ® -
If you want (to talk about versatile
football players you need go no
further than a handsome 178-
pounder who makes Arkansas one
of the favorites in the Southwest
Conference race.
His name is Lance Alworth and
he’s one of the most exciting
backs they’ve ever seen in (these
parts.
Reasons are numerous. For one,
he’s: fast enough that he can do
300 yards in 9.6 For another,
he’s as shifty as a gambler’s
eye.
Alworth will be taking in his
final season this fall. He has al-
ready gained more than a mile
handling the ball and if he re-
mains hale and hearty they
wouldn’t be surprised to see him
add another half-mile or so as a
senior.
The left halfback of tire Razor-
backs led the nation in punt re-
turns last season, when he took
18 back for 307 yards. But he’s
listed in every department of
play at Arkansas. For instance,
last fall he rushed for 375 yard’s,
caught 12 passes for 243, punted
for a 33.4 yard average—most of
them from midfield and one a
67-yard boot—took 14 kickoffs back
for 328 yards—and played defense
in his spare time.
In his two varsity seasons he
rushed for 741 yards, passed for
53, cauight 19 passes for 325 yards,
returned kickoffs 440 yards and
returned purls 353 yards—a total
of 1,912 yards.
His best day as a ball-carrier
came against Southern Methodist
in 1959 when he rushed for 131
yards but he’s best remembered
for a 49-yard run for a touch-
down against Duke in the Cotton
Bowl last Jan. 2.
What happened before that was
more amazing. Alworth punted
out of bounds inside the Duke
two-yard line while on a dead
run. The kick put Duke in a hole.

College Stripped
0! Its Ranking
SEATTLE ®) — The executive
committee of the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association has
stripped St. Joseph’s College of
Philadelphia of its third-place
ranking in the NCAA Basketball
Tournament.
The, school also was directed
Tuesday to return trophies and
medals awarded to it and to in-
dividuals on its team.
A regulation which has been in
force several years hut never
was invoked was the basis of the
action.
Three of the school’s players,
involved in basketball gambling
scandals, were declared ineligible
after the tourney. The regulation
on which the committee acted
states that if an athlete competes
ineligibly, the position of his
school in a championship event
must be vacated.
Therefore, there is no third-
place winner in the national tour-
nament. Utah, which placed
fourth, remains in fourth place.
The three players involved were
Frank Majewski, Jack Egan and
Vince Kempton,
The committee set up a policy
aimed at making it more diffi-
cult for gamblers to operate in
connection with NCAA tourna-
ments. The events are to be
held on-campus if possible. If that
is not passible, the host school
will’ have complete supervision
and management if the event is
approved.
The sites of the four regional
basketball tourneys were announ-
ced.
HANDS UP — George Altman
has such large hands that he
uses a bottle-shaped bat in-
stead of the more popular
slini-handled model. The big
outfielder is the Chicago
Cubs’ candidate for the Na-
tional League batting title.
Bible Honored
For CopfrMion
FORT WORTH ® — D. X. Bi-
ble, who retired with a fabulous
football record in the Southwest
Conference, was given a plaque
for his contribution to sorts by
the Great Fort Worth Sports Com-
mittee Tuesday night.
The occasion was the third an-
nual banquet and rally which
drew six Southwest Conference
football coaches and some 20 of
the top players, including All-
America potentials Ronnie Bull
of Baylor and Jim Saxton of Tex-
as.
Bible, who won eight conference
championships coaching at Texas
A&M and Texas, remanded the
gathering of 900 persons that he
would leave athletics soon. He
has been serving on limited ser-
vice at Texas where he was ath-
letic director.

Cincinnati Edges Up
Near Top of Standings
By ED WILKS
Associated Press Sports Writer
Right-hander Joey Jay, backed
by Wally Post’s tie-breaking
borne run, gained his 17th vic-
ory by shutting out Los Angeles
n three hits over the last eight
innings as Cincinnati beat the
first, place Dodgers 5-2 Tuesday
night and edged within one game
of the National League lead.
Third-place San Francisco de-
feated St. Louis 3-2, Milwaukee
made it five in a row with a 4-1
iob on Pittsburgh, and the Chi-
cago Cubs sent the last-place
Philadelphia Phils to their 18th
straight defeat 6-5. The modern
NL record for consecutive losses
is 19.
In the American League, the
Chicago White Sox beat New York
2-1, ending Whitey Ford’s win-
ning streak at 14 games and
shaving the Yankees’ lead over
Detroit to two games. The sec-
ond-place Tigers beat Baltimore
twice, 2-0 and 3-2. Boston bop-
ped Cleveland 8-0, the Los An-
geles Angels beat Washington 8-
7 and Minnesota defeated Kan-
sas City 9-4.
Jay beat Los Angeles for the
fourth time in six decisions this
season by blanking the Dodgers
on thre'e hits over the last eight
innings. The young right-hander,
set to become Cincinnati’s first
20-game winner since Ewell
Blackwell in 1947, finished with
a six-hitter after giving up three-
hits in the first when the Dodgers
scored on singles by Duke Snider
and Wally Moon.
San Francisco managed just
four hits but beat southpaw Curt
Simmons 7-8 of the Cards with
two runs in the sixth on sacrifice
flies by Orlando Cepeda and Jim
Davenport.
Home runs by Frank Thomas
and Hank Aaron did it for the
Braves, with Aaron’s 31st of the
year a two-run shot that broke
a 1-1 tie in the sixth and beat
Joe Gibbon 8-8. Carl Willey 5-6
was the winner, giving up five
hits.
People who keep looking for
was the principal speaker. He
discussed the lack of physicial fit-
ness in the youth of America.

tlie Cincinnati Reds in the obitu-
ary columns instead of the won-
and-lost columns will be dismay-
ed to learn today that the sub-
ject is still more deadly thar
dead.
Even after their 5-2 victory over
Lcs Angeles Tuesday night, the
Reds were four games behind
the Dodgers in the lost column-
and one game back over-all. But
if the Reds have- no advantage
have only 12 games • left on the
remainder of the National League
schedule.
After their doubleheader with
the Dodgers tonight, the Reds will
have onl yl2 games left on the
road and 23 at home. The Dodg-
ers play 27 on the road, only 14
at home.
Even when you take into ac-
count that the Dodgers have
been more successful abroad
than at the Coliseum, the sched-
ule still seems to favor Cincin-
nati. After tonight the Reds will
have 12 games remaining with
first-division clubs, the Dodgers
20.
Moreover, the Reds will be idle
10 days during September. This
may permit manager Fred Hutch-
inson to lighten the load on his
young pitchers, who have come
upon troubled times lately. He
could, in fact, use his top three
starters almost exclusively.
“I don’t really know if the
schedule will be a big advant-
age,” Hutchinson, said. “We just
hope that’s the way it works out.
“We’re still tour games down
on the loss side. Those are four
games that the Dodgers have got
to lose—that we’ve already lost.”
Better Year
Football Hope
At Bartlett
BARTLETT — Any change at
all will be an improvement in
this year’s football team.
So indicates Bartlett’s new
coach, Wally Mager.
The Bulldogs hit rock bottom
last season, when they lost all
ten of their games, including, of
course, their six district games.
Coach Mager says the team
lost a half dozen lettermen last
year, but has about 11 returning.
“This is my first year at Bart-
lett and I know almost nothing
about our own ability of our
team strength in comparison with
the other members of the dis-
trict,” Coach Mager said.
“After a few days’ practice
I will know something -about our
ability, if any,” he said. “One
thing is for sure, we can’t do
any worse -than last year.”
Bartlett,is a member of Dis-
trict 25B.
The season opens for the Bull-
dogs o-n Se-pt. 1 with a game
with Granger in Granger.

Amarillo Gold Sox in Good Shape
To Win Texas League Pennant
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
With only 15 days to go, Ama-
rillo is in good shape to win the
Texas League pennant. The Gold
Sox have 17 games to play and
are 414 ahead of second - place
Tulsa.
Major interest now centers on
who’s going to make the playoffs.
Tulsa appears to have one spot
clinched, San Antonio should fin-
ish in third place and Vic-
toria and Austin will fight it out
for the other spot.
Victoria .leads Austin by a half-
game, with the clubs remaining
in that situation when both lost
Tuesday.
Tulsa beat Victoria 8-7 in 17
innings with Johnny Lewis’
scratch hit diring in the winning
run. Dan Rivas struck out 18 and
allowed only four hits and one
run in nine innings of relief
pitching—yet he still lost.
Austin took a 2-1 thumping
from Amarillo when Chuck Bu-
heller socked -a two-run homer
in the fifth inning.
San Antonio beat Ardmore 3-1
with Eler White’s double and a
two-run -homer by Daryl Robert-
son putting over three runs in
the fifth.
