8--Moberly Monitor-Index Evening Democrat, Oct. 21, 1970 Wichita State Will Open 'Second Season' Saturday F1TR TCflW 4lin I A By LEW FERGUSON Associated Press Writer WICHITA, Kan. of these young men are going to grow up in a hurry Saturday night," said Bob Seaman Wichita State University's new head fool ball coach. His Wheatshockers are just three weeks removed from the tragic airplane crash in Colorado which removed the 22 start ing offensive and defensive leg- ulars from the WSU varsity. And they play the University of Arkansas Saturday.

The Shockers, who voted 76-1 to play the final six games on their 1970 schedule, open their "second season" at Little Hock against a team considered Texas' top threat to another Southwest Conference championship. "It's a football game and we've got to get ready as best we can for it," said Seaman, 38- year-old chief assistant to the late Ben Wilson, Wichita State's head coach who was killed in the Oct. 2 crash in the Rockies. The tragic crash took the lives of 13 WSU gridders and injured nine more seriously enough that none will play again this season. Seaman and the remainder of Wilson's staff have gone about preparing the woefully young remnants of the Wheatshockers squad for a six-game schedule which includes the University of Cincinnati and four Missouri Valley Conference games in addition to Arkansas.

They've done it as unemotionally and as surgically as possible blending the best freshmen players in with the surviving varsity squadmen. The Missouri Valley gave its blessing to Wichita's use of freshmen the remainder of this season. "The psychological part will take care of itself," Seaman said of his players. "These young men will come to play. Playing football is absolutely the best therapy that could have happened to Seaman's probably starters Saturday night will include 7 freshmen, 10 sophomores, 3 juniors and 2 seniors.

The 46-tnan traveling squad will be made up of 21 freshmen, 18 sophomores, 5 juniors and 2 seniors. "Freshmen should have an opportunity to get some sprung practice and then two or three weeks in the fall to get ready to play," Seaman said. "But these are good freshmen with good athletic talent. They're the type of kids who are going to rise to the occasion." Best of the freshmen may be quarterback Rick Baehr of Kansas City, who was so small (5 feet 9, 165 pounds) in high school that few schools looked at him. Baehr, who has grown to 6 feet and 180 pounds, is a rollout-type passer who could be something else in a year or two, Seaman says.

He will probably fill the air with passes Saturday night. Seaman terms his squad's attitude "outstanding" and adds, "they're doing a real good job of adapting to some pretty Intricate football. They're eager." The Shockers exchanged three game films with Arkansas. Seaman came away from viewing them with the impression the 1970 Razorbacks are just as fast, just as aggressive and just as well-coached as past Arkansas teams, He declined to compare this year's Arkansas team with last year's which beat Wichita "They do things great football teams do," Seaman said. "Their overall speed is the most impressive thing.

They don't have anybody who is slow." Seaman isn't concerned about how the oddsmakers figure Saturday's game. "They're going to play a football game," he said of Arkansas. "They've had a week off already (an open date) and they can't afford to take two weeks off or they'll lose their timing. "We're treating it just as they are. It's a football game, and both teams will play their level best." Pirates' Murtaugh Named N.L.

Manager of Year By ED SCHUYLER JR. Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Danny Murtaugh was named today The Associated Press' National League Manager of 1970, a year in which his low-key leadership and uncanny juggling of a patchwork pitching staff guided Pittsburgh to the NL East title. It was the third Manager of the Year Award for the Pennsylvania Irishman who has never managed any big league club except Pittsburgh. He won in 1958, his first full season as manager, and in the Pirates' world championship year of 1960. Murtaugh retired at the end of the 1964 season because of ill health but remained with the Pirates to scout and work with the farm clubs until he became manager again in a surprise move this year.

"Naturally I have to be very well pleased," Murtaugh said of his latest honor from his home in the Philadelphia suburb of Woodlyn, Pa. "I would have to say it's a great surprise. I thought there were a lot of others who did tremendous jobs with their clubs. "The players had everything to do with the club's success," Murtaugh added. "They battled back through all the difficulties they had had.

They seemed to think they had to keep going." Robinson to Ask Orioles Front Office for $100,000 By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) The world finally has discovered what the Baltimore Orioles have known for 12 years--that Brooks Robinson is one for the money. "Brooks is truly a money ballplayer," Orioles front office boss Harry Dalton said Tuesday as Robinson, hero of Baltimore's World Series triumph over Cincinnati last week, picked up his first reward--a 1971 Dodge Charger presented by Sport Magazine to the outstanding player in the Series. "He has always risen to the occasions for us," Dalton said. "But now, probably for the first time, the entire country is aware of what an outstanding ballplayer he is." Robinson dazzled millions of television viewers across the nation with a spectacular hitting and fielding show to lead the Orioles past the Reds in five games--and put himself in line for a $100,000 salary next season. "Yes, I'm going to ask for it," said the 33-year-old third baseman, who peooered Cincinnati QB Club Is Busy In Weekly Meeting The Moberly Quarterback Club held its weekly meeting last night at the Vocational Building at the high school.

Films were shown of the Moberly-Rolla football game and the Moberly- Boonville football game were shown by coaches Charles Richard and Ron Haggard. A scouting report was also given on the upcoming Fulton game this Friday, which is homecoming for the Spartans. During the business session several reports were given by the various committees. Mr. and Mrs.

George Foelsch, cochairmen of the banquet committee stated that the date of the banquet will be Nov. 14, and that the time the banquet will begin will be 6:30. The club discussed the time the banquet should begin, and it was agreed that 6:30 would be appropriate as that the Missouri Tigers play that afternoon and it might put the club members in a rush getting home from the Missouri game and then getting ready for the banquet. Price of the tickets for the banquet will be $2.00, and reservations should be made Wednesday night prior to the 14th. Refreshments again will be served after the Moberly-Fulton jjame to the visiting quarterback club members.

Transportation chairman, Jim Todd reported that six to. seven seals were left on the bus that the quarterback club will take to WaynesviUe when the Spartans lave! there Nov. sixth. Quarterback dub members will get first preference on the remaining seats that are left. Persons interested in making the trip may call Jim Todd at 263-1131 to mae reservations.

The new public address system is being installed at the present time and will be completed in time for this Friday nights homecoming game. Club president Mick McQuade, on behalf of the float committee reported that the club will have a float in the homecoming parade this Friday. Coach Charles Richard reported that he has received some 85 tickets for the Missouri- Colorado game that the Spartans and the coaching staff will attend this Saturday in Columbia. The tickets were purchased by the quarterback club. After the committee reports, a discussion was led by Club President, Mick McQuade and Coach Charles Richard on the possibilities of the club purchasing new Video Tape equipment for the football program.

The cost of such equipment will be approximately with the school board paying $750.00 and the club will have to pay the balance. The club took no immediate action until after next Tuesday's meeting when a representative of the company that sells Video Tape equipment will be on hand to give a demonstration. The representative will demonstrate two different kinds of machines. pitching for nine hits, including a pair of home runs, and repeatedly shut off the Big Red Machine with his magic glove. Then, with typical modesty, he paid tribute to his teammates for their Series blitz--one year after they had fallen to the New York Mets in baseball's October classic.

"It really wasn't a oneman show," Robinson said. "It took 24 other guys. Coming back to win this year meant a lot to all of us." Of his acrobatics in the field, he explained: "I felt before the Series started that guys like Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and Lee May were going to pull the ball no matter who was pitching, and I was going to get some ground balls. "But I don't remember any time in my career when I made three plays in three days like I did against them. I guess I was Just in the right spot at the right time.

Two or three inches either way and everything could have been different," Robinson, a golden glover for the past 10 years and one of the game's most respected clutch hitters, is the first third baseman to capture the Series MVP award since its inception 16 years ago. Namath to Be Out Six Weeks NEW YORK (AP) Joe Na- math, plagued but never stopped by battered knees since becoming New York Jets quarterback six years ago, will be sidelined for at least six weeks by a broken right wrist. Namath suffered the injury late In Sunday's 29-22 loss to Baltimore. At first the injury was diagnosed as a Jammed wrist but rays at hospital Tuesday showed a fracture of the navicula bone on the wrist and the wrist was put In a cast. The navlcular bone Is a small bone at the base of the thumb.

Jets physician Dr. James A. Nicholas said the condition of Namath, who had never missed a regular or post season game since Joining the Jets as a $400,000 bonus baby In 1965, will be contlnuoasly re-evaluated during the anticipated six-week recovery period. Some of the difficulties the Pirates had were caused by injuries, especially to the pitching staff. At various times four starters were out for about a month apiece.

But Murtaugh went into his bullpen and pulled out Bruce Dal Canton and Luke Walker for big victories as starters. He also seemed to know Just when to yank a pitcher especially when the Pirates beat the New York Mets six of seven games on the tinal two weekends the season. The 53-year-old Murtaugh, who succeeded Larry Shepheard as boss Buc this year, got to the major leagues with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1941. He stayed with the Phillies until he sent into the service in 1944. Upon his return from the service he played for Philadelphia, the old Boston Braves and a couple of minor league teams before going to the Pirates in 1948 for one of his best seasons.

He hit .290, drove in a career high 71 runs and led NL second basemen in putouts, assists and double plays. His last year as a p.layer in the majors was with Pittsburgh in 1951. He then managed at New Orleans and Charleston before succeeding Bobby Bragan as Pittsburgh manager in August of 1957. Tulsa Placed On 2-Year Probation TULSA, Okla. (AP) "I was feeling pretty low," said Tulsa University's rookie head football coach Claude Gibson Tuesday, "but the cotton-picking guys picked me up." TU was placed on a two-year probation Tuesday by the Missouri Valley Conference, and two assistant coaches resigned, "We've got some good guys and they've been through a lot," Gibson said, "but I don't know how this thing is going to affect them the rest of the season." The Valley fined Tulsa $1,500, prohibited it from playing in NCAA postseason events or appearing on any NCAA-sponsored telecast through 1971 and banned assistant coaches Tom Boisture and Dave Brazil from recruiting prospective student athletes.

Dr. J. Paschal Twyman, TU president, announced the probation here. An NCAA probation, apart from the conference's, is expect ed to be levied next Tuesday when the group's ruling body meets in New Orleans. The television restriction will not include a regionally shown game Dec.

5 between TU and North Texas State at Skelly Stadium in Tulsa. The allegation made by the Valley centered on the recruit- of Ken Garrett, a running back last year for Northeastern AM Junior College at Miami, Okla. Chip Dip SETS Reg. 5 Corn Broom or Dust Mops QQc While Tliey Last Colorado Leads Big 8 In Rushing, Scoring By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Coach Vince Gibson of Kansas State may be like the fellow whistling as he passes the graveyard, but he says, "We're looking forward to playing Oklahoma. We like to play in Norman." Gibson made the comment after his Wildcats practiced without wingback Henry Hawthorne Tuesday.

The flashy runner has a touch of the flu, but is expected to make the trip to Norman. Middle guard Joe Oolquitt definitely won't play. Meanwhile, Coach Chuck Fairbanks shuffled his Oklahoma offensive lineup, looking forward to Saturday. "Many people talk about the Kansas State offense," Fairbanks said, "but they are also an exceptionally good defensive team." Oklahoma State drilled for two hours, concentrating on protection of the Cowboy passer, Tony Pound. Coach Floyd Gass said he expects Nebraska to make Pound a main target.

Coach Bob Devaney worried some more about his fourth- ranked Huskers facing a team that had two weeks to prepare. Although Devaney is 8-0 against OSU, he said "It doesn't seem like we've ever scored more than three touchdowns against this club and it seems like every game has been undecided until the closing moments." Iowa State's quarterback, Dean Carlson, worked out in sweat clothes and avoided contact as the Cyclones drilled more than two hours on kicking and moving the ball. The team has scored only 10 points in the last two games. Coach Pepper Rodgers of Kansas talked a lot about Iowa State's strong points and said it would be tough Saturday to move the ball consistently against the Cyclone defense. He also noted that Carlson hit 18 of 30 passes against Kansas State despite having poor field position.

Missouri's Coach Dan Devine said tight end Chuck Colclasure and linebacker Sam Britts will not play in the Colorado game this week because of injuries, On doubtful status are tackle Rocky Wallace and linebacker Roger Yanko. Pistons Down Milwaukee in NBA Action By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Detroit Pistons had a bit too much quick and quickness for the Milwaukee Bucks, who just didn't have enough time. The Pistons, the surprise team in the National Basketball Association thus far in the young season with a 4-0 record after finishing last in 1969-70, trailed the powerful Bucks 113111 with 20 seconds left Tuesday night when Jimmy Walker flicked out a hand and stole the ball for the Pistons. Dave Bing missed a drive, but Bob Quick rebounded to tie the score, was fouled on the play and sank the free throw to put Detroit ahead with five seconds remaining. The Bucks got the ball and called time out with three seconds left, but were called for a technical foul because they had no time outs remaining.

Walker stepped to the line and calmly sank the free throw. Still it wasn't over. Milwaukee took the ball in bounds, Lew Alcindor was fouled, and then sank only one of two free throws after the final gun, and Detroit had a 115-114 victory.
