8-A FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS, Saturday, Oct. 15, '60 k3o Iere9 Eddie (Rhh9 Pa Pitcli OEM Hurricanes Back On Track, Foe 109 YttlsS 0 0 0 Own 'Carolina9 Grid. Teams! in 1 quarter the last of which was a 22-yard gain to the Carolina 40 and then continued the assault with nine more scrimmages in the second period. Ted Sausselle capped the spirited march 93 yards in 14 plays when he collared Johns option pitchout and scampered six yards to the end zone Al 'Canes as a team barely rang the bell for 100 additional yards. It wasn't Johns' bold and brutish showing on the field as much as his ability to come up with the big play in the right situation.

He sparked the Hurricanes to touchdowns the first two times they had possession to build up a 13-0 lead. Then, after South Carolina scored to make it an uncomfortable 13-6, Johns broke loose on a 44-yard touchdown run to wrap it up. The victory, injured somewhat by a punt-punt third quarter, boosted Miami's record to 2-1 carried the ball four times-one a 22-yard gainer to the Gamecock 17. South Carolina drove right back, surging 80 yards before surrendering the ball on downs at the Hurricane seven. The Gamecocks got off the ground with a scintillating 42-yard run by quarterback Dave Sowell to the Miami 41.

From then on the yardage was truly earned as the Gamecocks three times ran fourth down plays. Miami gathered up its resources almost immediately. Johns directed five plays in the waning moments of the first and gave them permanent possession of the Carolina States. The Hurricanes' other win was over North Carolina. Miami looked like the bully of old in its first touchdown march.

The 74-yard drive necessitated 10 plays, but only twice did the Hurricanes get to use a third down play and the second of these was Johns' five-yard scoring pass to halfback Nick Ryder. In this drive Johns fired three completions in as many passing attempts. He hit Larry Wilson and Bill Miller on 12-yard gainers and later found Ryder at the goal line. Additionally Johns A'' m.

Will the 70-year-old baseball veteran retire as manager of the New York Yankees or will he stay on? It has been rumored for some time even taken for granted in some quarters that 1960 would be Casey's last year with the Yankees despite his record of 10 pennants and seven world championships in his 12 years with the club. Dangel, who booted the first extra point, was thwarted on this attempt when Jim Nemeth burst through to block the conversion try. South Carolina, still smarting, stormed back on the wings of Buddy Bennett's 28-yard run to the Miami 22 after the hungry 'Canes tried an onside kick.

Six plays later Racey Timmons ended the Gamecock bid by intercepting a pass thrown by Billy Gambrell on the Miami 13. Four punts filled the air in the third quarter before South Carolina launched a touchdown-bound drive. The Gamecocks needed 19 plays to cover 73 yards in a drive that lapsed into the fourth period. Sub fullback Carl Huggins, a 210-pound soph, burst through his right side for the final nine yards, dragging Hurricanes Frank Reinhart and Timmons the last five to the end zone. After an exchange of punts, the Hurricanes started to move from their own 25.

Johns got to the 30 on a keeper and then whipped a strike to Ben Rizzo for a 25-yard gainer to the Carolina 45. A fumble by Jim Vollen-wider, recovered by Ryder, John Drebinger, baseball writer for the New York Times, wrote that "pressure," including a petition from the New York baseball i writers urging Stengel to remain, indicates mat, it tne owners at one time did contemplate a change, they are now undergoing CASEY STENGEL Yankees puzzled a change of heart. Otherwise, why all this delay?" Stengel, himself, was not available for comment Dan Topping, co-owner of the Yankees with Del Webb, asserted "If anyone says he knows what Unitas.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The deft hands of Johnny Unitas and the sheer power of Rick gained one yard. Then Johns started around right end on the option play, decided to keep the ball and cut to the inside. In a side-stepping dazzler, the young quarterback twisted all 44 yards for the touchdown.

He then passed to Vollenwider in the right flat for a two-point conversion. Although showing a questionable defense, the Hurricanes were toughest when the Gamecocks needed vital yardage. Jim O'Mahony, subbing for the injured Jack Novak at right guard, played a whale of a game, leading the 'Canes with 10 tackles and five assists. Coach Andy Gustafson was provided the opportunity to "clear the bench" in the last quarter with a 15-point lead.

SWLMMtVG SWEEP Both the Pine Crest boys and The Heart Attack Kid SPORTSWRITERS have several "must" duties around a newspaper office. First, of course, is assuring proper conduct of the office "pool." Secondly, they are supposed to think up tricky, eyecatching nicknames for the athletes they write about. With the World Series out of the way and the pool gates closed for another few months, the nicknaming job is now No.

I did my duty in the Orange Bowl last night From here on out, University of Miami quarterback Eddie Johns shall be dubbed the "Heart Attack Kid." The burly sophomore from Pennsylvania, who directed Miami's 21-6 decision over South Carolina, scares you to death on nearly every play. girls junior high swimming teams The Baltimore Colts, counting on quarterback Unitas to snap them back from last week's letdown at Green Bay, are 14-point favorites over the Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore.

But how long can the 200-pounder keep it up? Let's examine the young man for a paragraph or two. A powerful runner (he picked up 109 yards in 11 carries last night) youthful Eddie is far from a purist as far as ball carrying is concerned. He totes a pigskin like a little boy treats a loaf of bread on the way home from the delicatessen. He swings it out to the side, away from his body and gripped in one big paw. Sometimes he bobbles it around like a one-armed, juggler.
