"I didn't think I was going anywhere and I was going to look for another job. I don't know what I would have done. What is a ballplayer equipped to do except play ball?" Koufax said the turning point in his career came in a B- Koufax, who yesterday joined Yogi Berra and Early Wynn as the newest members of baseball's Hall of Fame, took the occasion to admit that he-almost quit the game in 1960 because he had lost confidence in his ability. The former ace southpaw for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles ing youngster when he joined the Dodgers as a 19-year-old bonus baby in 1955, and the maturity that made him one of baseball's greatest pitchers did not come until 1961.

"I seriously entertained thoughts of retiring after the 1960 season," Koufax recalled By Bob Smitik Here's How The Hall Of Fame Voting Went Koufax, at 36 the youngest player ever to be selected to the Hall, packed most of his greatness into four seasons 1963-66. During that span he complied a 92-27 record, hurled a perfect game and two of his three other no-hitters and three times fanned more than 300 batters. In this year's balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America, Koufax' short but illustrious career brought 344 votes, of a possible 396, far more than the required 297 (75 per cent). Berra, the long-time New York Yankee star, received 339 and Wynn, a 300-game winner as an American League pitcher, garnered 300 votes. Missing by 65 votes was former Pittsburgh Pirate home run king Ralph Kiner.

during spring training in 1961. In the airplane on the way to Orlando from Vero Beach he and catcher Norm Sherry discussed a few things about the upcoming game with the Twins. "Norm and I decided we were going to try a few new things. We decided we would use the changeup and not throw the fastball as much. I remember I pitched seven innings of no-hit ball only because the two pitchers who were supposed to split the game with me missed the plane.

"I decided that day that I wasn't going to worry about how many men I walked. I was going to go out and pitch, I think that game helped me get my confidence back because it meant nothing. Up until that time I had been pressing every time out."

But less than 24 hours later, following Sunday's Super Bowl, it couldn't even be said that the fight was the biggest mismatch in New Orleans last weekend let alone for the whole country all year. If they keep playing the NFL championship games that way, they'll have to change the name of the contest to the Yawn Bowl.

If 1.400 newsmen covered the game as claimed, all we can say is never have so many written so much about so little.

Dryden, whom the Canadiens claim is the most valuable player in the National Hockey League, returned to his goalie position last night after playing only one game since Dec. 22 and shut out the Toronto Maple Leafs, 1-0. It was Dn den's fourth shutout of the season and extended the Canadiens' home unbeaten string lo 21 games this season. The Canadiens are the only tram in the NHL which has not Inst a home game this season. Pete Mahovlich scored the game's only goal at 19:58 of the third period after taking a faceoff pass from Henri Richard.

It was his 15th of the campaign. "I'm in better condition than I expected," said Dryden after the game. "I guess there were about four or five shots I found tough. You never think about shutouts before a game. "I was really concerned, though, about the fact that I had only one practice in three weeks and I was worried about what kind of shape I'd be in during an actual game." Bobby Hull scored his 32nd and 33rd goals and Tony Es-posito earned his fourth shutout as the Chicago Black Hawks beat the California Seals, 2-0.

Hull scored his first Paul Budd scored 16 for the winners and Tom Sharak and Craig Prosser each had 11. St. Mary, McKees Rocks, made its record 2-0 in Sec. 3 with an 82-80 win over St. Joseph, Mount Oliver.

Hypocrisy Dept. of Don't Do As I Do, Do As I Say: A City League coach saw nothing wrong with drummers from his school pounding away on their instruments just as a visiting player was about to shoot a foul shot.

But the same coach became upset about the distraction of flash bulbs from a Press photographer's camera. Allegheny Community College Coach Bill Shay rates his 8-1 freshman Rob Nixon a major college prospect. Nixon played with Ron Hightower at Allegheny High and, obviously, never received much recognition. Chess master Bobby Fischer insists that his game is a sport. "You've got to be in top condition to play chess," Fischer insists.

"The tension and need for stamina ere brutal." Hmmmm! We'd like to see Fischer try 48 minutes of pro basketball or eight minutes of collegiate wrestling and still make those statements. goal at 18:39 of the second period and the clincher at 0:27 of the third while Esposito turned aside 29 shots.

Practically unnoticed in Pitt's big win over West Virginia last week was that the Panther frosh did the same thing to their West Virginia counterparts. Pitt did it though it has only two players on scholarship aid, while West Virginia has five.

Pitt'a prestige win must have Duquesne freshmen Coach Al Bailey rubbing his hands with glee. He's anxious to avenge the two losses Pitt gave his team last season when the Dukes were undermanned. Duquesne has the horses to pour it on Pitt this year. The two teams meet Monday at the Civic Arena and again Feb. 16 at Pitt.

Maybe Carnegie-Mellon Coach Jim Brown doesn't deserve a coach-of-the-year award, but any man who can put up with a 32-day layoff in the schedule, 52 days without a home game, a 5-8 center and his second-best player dropping out of school deserves some sort of award.
