PAGE EIGHT THE RECORD-ARGUS GREENVILLE, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER, 3, 1956 SPORT SCENE JACK JIcKKE: In every line of endeavor somebody gets bypassed when ihe bouquets are handed out. This is true in work as as play. In social and civii organizations there arc always those the bulk of the work given goal, but, when the time comes for giving credit for job well done, they arc overlooked. "The president of the club or the chairman of the committee gets the credit aiv.l those whose efforts made the whole project possible get nothing.

In the world of sports there is one group of men (and women, too) who are almost always into the shadows ollicrs receive the cheers of the fans the publicity from (lie papers, radio and TV. This band of individuals is that vast majority that are not stars. In baseball, they are not. nearly prevalent as in other sports. The man who averages six or eight points per game in basketball, gets lost in the shuffle although he may be the most important man on the lean, just be cause he can teen tnc point ITIHK- ers.

The same goes for hockey and many other sports. There is one sport, however, that is divided very definitely between the scorers and the non- scorers. There is a very clear line of distinction drawn between the two. If a member of the non- scoring clan ever docs score, it. te regarded as the highlight of his career and makes the headlines whether or not his team wins.

If you haven't guessed by now, we refer to football. The paper and reporters on the air always feature the running of the men who score the points. Should a lineman throw an important block to spring the back loose for a long run and possibly a touchdown, it 13 overlooked in the excitement of seeing a runner try to outrace the safety man. At the rate present-day football moves, it is next to impossible for anyone to watch both the backfield and the line when the ball snapped. It is especially difficult to watch line.play when the team is run- ning from (lie as most clubs fire.

The b.ickficld action is of iiceepsity The success or failure of any play depends on the split second timing by the backs. Focus your attention on the line while you are trying to determine who opened the hole, Knmobody scores a touchdown or catches a pass and laterals to Ffmeono else and you have missed the whole tiling. Tliera is no doubt in anyone's mind that the linemen are the key to victory. Most teams possess backs of at least average ability. Take these backs on two teams, one with a poor line and thi; other with a good line, and they will change from just ordi- -nary ball carriers to stars.

His recommendation for pumping new life into the game is to fire 90 per cent of the college presidents. The outspoken Redskins owner told the Philadelphia Football Writers Assn. yesterday: "The trouble with college presidents is that most of them wanted to play football, but coukln't make the team. Now they're taking it out on the athletes with all their ludicrous rules. "Why such great institutions as Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Harvard and Pennsylvania arc taking it upon themselves to destroy the game they created, I don't know.

"And that's what they're doing, making a sound, solid effort to destroy the game. "What's wrong with giving a boy a scholarship to play football? Is It any different from giving a scholarship to a kid who stars on a debating team?" Marshall let fly at the Pacific Coast Conference, too. He termed "Idiotic" the penalties recently imposed on West Coast members for alleged violations of conference niles. SAVE 1956 Johnson Motors cmd AS! Boats Now on 80 SHENANGO AVE. SHARON JIMMY BEECHAM FIGHTS CONSTANCE MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Up- and-coming Jimmy Beecham makes his television debut against ringwise Hector Constance tonight in a to-round welterweight fight for the Babe Zaharias Cancer Foundation. The Philadelphia 21-year-old probably will be a slight favorite, mainly because he beat Constance, 25, last December in a match at Caracas, Venezuela. The loser called that decision "atrocious" while Beecham pointed out. that, even so, "It sure was unanimous." Constance, of Trinidad, Is an extremely fast counterpuncher. He said he "never makes a prediction" before a fight, but hoped to prove he could whip Beecham.

He has a record of 25 victories, 8 draws and 8 losses. He knocked out 7 opponents. He lost to Virgil Akins at St. Louis in his only match this year. Beecham, winner of 14 out of 16, has trained hard for this match.

His manager, Angelo Dundee, lopped off 60 rounds of scheduled sparring because Beecham was working out too hard. Former welterweight champion Kid Gavilan beat him in Havana six weeks ago. The only other fighter that took his measure was Charlie Joseph, who broke Bec- cham's jaw. The fight will be televised and broadcast nationally by ABC, starting at 9 p.m., EST.

Olympic Officials in Emergency Session Expect Modification Of Anti-Pro Pledge LAUSANNE, Switzerland Top Olympic officials, meeting in emergency session here tonight, are expected to modify at least temporarily the rigorous and controversial anti-professional pledge introduced in the new Olympic rules. The executive commission of the International Olympic Committee, convened by I.O.C.

President Avery Brundage, may decide to suspend the amateur-intention phrase in the new pledge until after the Melbourne games, and so meet the widespread criticism of the pledge for the time being. OLD GABS Because wheels, frames, axles gee out of tires cause blow-outs and loss of control Be sale! Let us correct your car now with our scientific BEAR Thank Your Repair Man For "The Accident That Didn't Happen" WAGNER BODY SHOP Brundage himself, anxious to preserve the amateur status of Olympic athletes, was one of the main supporters of the new pledge. It was not certain how he and the nine other senior Olympic officials would feel about suspending the pledge, but some I.O.C. sources said privately it was difficult to see what other course was open. The pledge, under Article 34 of the new rules, requires each Olympic athlete to sign this declaration, printed on the official entry form: the undersigned, declare on my honor that I am and intend to remain an amateur and fulfill the conditions stipulated by the Olympic rules." The words "and intend to remain" were introduced for the first time by the new rules published in July.

Sports organizations in the COCHRANTON-00WNI0- BY COMMODORE PERRY Commodore Perry High School won its first baseball game of the fall season yesterday with a 10-1 route of Cochranton at the Panthers' home field. Commodore Perry managed only six hits, but 13 walks were handed out by Cochranton pitchers. Jerry Hosack, pitching his second game, was touched for six hits and walked two. He fanned six. The winners posted four runs in the first inning with only one hit.

They added two in the second, three in the fifth and one in the sixth. The only Cochranton run came i the top of the seventh. Clark had two hits, one a double, and two walks in four trips. He drove in a pair of runs with his double. Jim Armour also stroked a two-base hit.

Commodore Perry's next game is scheduled for Friday at Fredonia. United Stales, Europe and Australia have protested vigorously. Brundage, before leaving the United States for the Lausanne meeting, said "some amplification and explanation" of the wording would be necessary. FREDONIA COPS 8-1 WIN FROM JAMESTOWN Paced by Dave Little, Fredonia High School chipped out an 8-1 victory over Jamestown yesterday on the Fredonia diamond. Little rapped two doubles and a single, scored three runs and drove in two.

Bill Douds checked Jamestown with only five hits and pitched shutout ball with the exception of Bell's home run in the second. Fredonia tallied single runs in the first, third and fourth, to take a 3-1 lead and then chased across two in the fifth and three in the sixth contest. Junior Sportsmen Elect- Officers for Year The Junior Sportsmen's Club, in its regular weekly meeting, last night elected officers for the coming year. Those named to head the group were: President, Fred Ray; vice president, Dick Peters; treasurer, Dennis Mohr; secretary, Esther McGrath. Addressing of postal cards for the Sportsmen's Club took up the balance of the meeting time.

Burns, the losing pitcher, collected a pair of doubles, in a losing cause. Fredonia hosts Commoder Perry Friday in its next outing. PANTHERS PREPARE TO FLY TO CALIFORNIA PITTSBURGH, The University of Pittsburgh football squad tapered off its training grind today as they prepared to enplane tomorrow for an inter sectional clash Saturday with the University of California.

World Series Win Is Sal's Remaining Aim By WILL GRIMSLEY BROOKLYN Sal Maglie is intent on getting a World Series victory because, he says, it would complete his three- point goal.

The goal: To win 20 games in one season in the won 23 in 1951 with the New York Giants). To pitch a no-hit did against the Phillies Sept. 25 of this year). To win a World Series (He still hasn't it). Writer Picks Spartans, Sooners, Pitt, Army, TCI) NEW YORK studying these predicted winners of Uiis weekend's football games, just remember that the forecaster is the same chap who picked Cincinnati to win the National ea pennant.

Last week's lack of upsets lifted the season's total of 66 to 81 for .815. This week's winners: Oklahoma over Kansas State: to make it. Michigan State over Michigan: It will be close but the belief is the Spartans will take it, perhaps by only a point. Ohio State over Stanford: Hop- along Cassady is gone but the Ohio Staters supposedly are stronger than ever. Mississippi over Houston: Mississippi has 24 of last year's Cotton Bowl champions.

Texas Christian over Arkansas: Jim Swink carries the Texas Horned Frogs to victory in full view of a nationwide TV audience. Tennessee over Duke: Johnny Majors is rated the best running back in Dixie. He plays for Tennessee. By as much as the Sooners want makes the Gamecocks the favorites. Baylor over Maryland: By the narrowest of margins.

UCLA over Oregon: Oregon had to hustle last week to beat Idaho by a single touchdown. Skipping over some others: Navy over Cornell, Colgate over Holy Crossr-Dartmouth over Penn, Princeton over Columbia, Yale over Brown, Harvard over Tufts, Minnesota over Purdue, Southern Methodist over Missouri, Notre Dame over Indiana, West Virginia over Texas, Illinois over Washington. Crusty Casey Stengel, manager of the Yankees, is hard to catch with his quips down. During yesterday's workout, a reporter asked Stengel if he realized that the Yanks had gone 16 Series innings (since the first inning of the sixth game last year) without scoring a run. "The mischief," Casey blurted.

"We've gone more than that. We had three scoreless innings at Hawaii." Yankee scouts have told Stengel that he must be more afraid of Maglie than Don Newcombe, the Dodgers' 27-game winner. Newcombe, they say, is pitching "tired ball." "Maglie's fast ball is much faster," Ed Lopat, the onetime Yankee junkman told Casey, "but his letup pitch isn't worth much any He" has 'about as' sharp a curve as there is in more, breaking Pee Wee Reese, Brooklyn's veteran shortstop, probably will feel lonesome out there without Phil Rizzuto as an opponent. Reese and Rizzuto began their World Series rivalry in 1941, played opposing shortstop in six series after that, but Rizzuto has been cast off by the Yankees and will attend the 1956 show as a spectator. Southern California over Wisconsin: The Trojans give the Pacific Coast Conference a rare triumph over the Big Ten.

Pittsburgh over California: Joe Walton, Pitt end, one of the country's best. Army over Penn State: Each team will rely on sophomores. The Cadets will have to do without Gene Mikelonis, speedy halfback.
