Wednesday, August 24, 1960 STEVENS POINT (WISCONSIN) DAILY JOURNAL Page 15 Spirit Of Tranquility Is Evident On Olympic Eve By JERRY LISKA Associated Press Sports Writer ROME (AP) Amid tranquility which even sent 10 Communist athletes to a special audience by Pope John, this ancient, storied city was poised today for the start of the 17th Olympiad Thursday. The papal audience for all Olympic athletes and officials in St. Peter's Square just precedes the arrival of the Olympic torch from Greece. At City Hall, the torch will be set in a tripod, remaining lit until it is carried to the Olympic Stadium for the official opening of the games. A pro-Communist newspaper, Paese Sera, disclosed Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev sent an Olympic message to Rome, to be delivered the Soviet embassy to the Italian games organizers shortly before today's papal audience.

The newspaper said as a result of Khrushchev's message, confirming a "spirit of that 10 of the Soviet Union's 400- member athletic delegation would attend the audience by the head of the Catholic Church. After the opening ceremonies before an expected 100,000 in the Olympic Stadium, the games proper will start with eliminations in boxing and water polo Thursday night. On Friday, seven more sports will move into action. But the kingpin of the games, track and field, does not start until next Young Unknown Leads Milwaukee Open Qualifiers MILWAUKEE (AP) Buzz Garvin, 19-year-old sharpshooter from Denver, the youngest golfer on the PGA circuit, led a qualifying field of 81 players Tuesday in the preliminary test of the $30,000 Milwaukee Open Golf tournament when he shot a 2-under-par 68. Garvin and 70 other players qualified with 80 exempt golfers for competition in the 72 hole medal play meet that begins at the North Hills Country Club Thursday.

The re-election meant a vote of confidence for the austere amateurism preached by Brundage, if not practiced to his wishes, throughout the world. The man who was touted to succeed Brundage as president, Lord Burghley of England, nominated Brundage for re-election and delegates from 57 nations backed him. "I can only promise to throw more energy into the job," said Brundage vho has the powerful handshake a wrestler despite his years.

Dallas Loses Guard DELAFIELD -Guard Joe Nicely probably has been lost for the season to the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Nicely, one of the original 36 National League veterans to join the team when it obtained its franchise, has a blood infection that hasn't responded to treatment.

Coach Landry said Tuesday that the 235-pound guard, who was a member of the Washington Redskins squad last year, had been placed on the injured reserve list and probably would be out for the year. The Cowboys are using St. John's Military Academy here as their training headquarters. WHITE SOX ONLY GAME OUT Wynn Beats Yankees, Vows Revenge For Beanball Pitch By ED WILKS Associated Press Sports Writer Now that Early Wynn has cut the New York Yankees down to size, the next step is to knock 'em flat. The 40-year-old right-hander, a tough guy with a brush-back pitch, promised to do just that after he pitched the second Chicago White Sox victory over New York and trimmed the Yankees' American League lead to a half-game Tuesday night.

What got Wynn riled was a ninth-inning pitch by Yankee reliever Jim Coates that just missed his head. Wynn made for the mound, bat in hand, before teammates and the umps checked his charge. "Sure it was a beanball," Wynn said afterward. someday I'm going to get all nine of 'em (the Yankees). "And if I get Coates outside the park, I'll put a knot on his head." With Wynn, a first-inning replacement for Billy Pierce in a switch that led the Yanks to pro- OLYMPIC SWIMMER Dawn Fraser, 22, of Australia, could turn out to be the top girl athlete of the Olympic Games opening in Rome: She is entered in five swim events.

Paul Open Sunday, had as his partners Steve Caravello, Moon Molinaro and Chet Bayler of Madison. Among the Wisconsin golfers who qualified for the big meet test the game, putting away the 281st victory of his career, the Sox took over sole possession of second place. The hot-running Detroit Tigers knocked Baltimore to third, games behind, by beating the Orioles 5-3 innings. Washington defeated Kansas City 3-1 and Cleveland edged Boston 3-2 in 10 innings. Wynn, now 10-8 with his third st straight victory, allowed only four hits and faced the minimum 14 men over the last 4.

Wynn -struck out six, pushing past Hall of Famer Eddie Plank for ninth place on the all-time list with 2,114. The Sox beat Grba with three runs in the first, one unearned, and then added two unearned runs in the seventh. A triple by Nellie Fox, a walk, one of the Yankees' three errors, and singles by Gene Freese and Al Smith wrapped it up in the first inning.

Manager Al Lopez then brought in Wynn to replace Pierce, who made a couple of warm up tosses, but didn't pitch to a batter. The Sox had pulled a muscle: in a warm up. The Yanpregame kees protested, saying the rules state a pitcher must face one man, unless injured. The Tigers made it seven in a row, their longest winning streak since 1956, when Charlie Maxwell tagged losing reliever Wes Stock (2-2) for a two-run homer in the 11th. Detroit had tied it with two in the ninth on singles by Maxwell and Rocky Colavito and a double by Al Kaline.

Bill Fischer (6-6) was the winner. Washington retained fourth place on a two-run homer by Harmon Killebrew and an insidethe-park home run by Reno Bertoia that backed southpaw Jack Kralick, who won his fifth. Doubles by winning reliever Mudcat Grant (8-5) and rookie Mike de la Hoz broke the tie for the Indians and beat reliever Frank Sullivan (4-10).

So Cleveland Plain Dealer Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) -The tendency among disappointed Cleveland Indian fans is to pin the blame on General Manager Frank Lane. Maybe frantic Frank is at fault--and then again, maybe he isn't. The Indians, in second place 114 games behind league-leading New York on July 16, have tumbled to fifth place, 11 games out. During that span, the team has lost 25 of 36 games.

Before a man is condemned he usually is given the right to defend himself. Even a lynching party allows a prisoner a chance to speak his mind. So, these questions were put to Lane Monday in Boston. Q. Frank, what's wrong with the Indians: A.

Here was the one man on the club we could ill afford to lose. What ever chance we had to win the pennant-and in my mind it was a good chance--it went out the window when he got hurt. When we lost Held we lost a good bit of our power. Little Mike de la Hoz has done a good job filling in, but we really didn't appreciate Held until we lost him. Q.

"I guess you can say that winning has been the most pleasing thing about those two pre-season games," Lombardi said Tuesday night, "but we haven't been very sharp. "That will come, though, it must come." Lombardi gave his team a day of rest Tuesday after it returned to Green Bay from New Jersey where it beat the New York Giants in a National Football League exhibition game Monday night 16-7. The Packers previously had beaten Pittsburgh in an exhibition game. Green Bay plays at Milwaukee Saturday, meeting the Chicago Bears in the annual Shrine benefit game for crippled children.
