The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 19

I I I I I a. Friday, Nov. 13 1964 Th Lincoln Star 10 SPORT SIGN Duffy Tells Am He'll Notre Dame By Hal Brown South Bend, Ind. GfV-Michigan State's Duffy Daugherty put in a telephone call this week to his friend Ara Parseghian, 7 and wryly told the Notre Dame coach: "Ara, we're going to do you a favor Saturday. We're going to knock you off and take you off the spot.

know, if you go through unbeaten your first season, youTT be in trouble. Your red hot alumni will be expecting it every year. So if you lose a couple, they'll be yelling for your scalp. -But we'll fk that." Parseghian, a very serious and intent young man, was still gulping for a reply when the telephone clicked. Daugherty is a refreshing departure from the average football coach, who grimly frets over charts and electronic "machines" whor whipsplayersthrdugh" their routines like a Captain Bligh and who thinks the world spins or stops spinning on a football victory.

Duffy, a round little Irishman built like a tree trunk, is a serious and astute coach -but one who never has lost his sense of humor. Ever loose and jovial, he laughs his way from one pressure-packed Saturday to another. "I don't have to worry about getting the boys up for Notre Dame," Daugherty cracks. "This week I had to shake the trees to get them down for practice." Once asked about his secret beating the Irish (he's won eight of nine meetings), Duffy said, "They had two Catholic Ail-Americans, wejiad four' "The Michigan State coach acknowledged that he has one superstition. "I think's it's bad luck to lose." He doesn't worry about alumni and is constantly ribbing the grads, such as the one who wired him: "We're behind you, win or draw." Duffy said his wife is understanding after an important game.

"When I get home, she always has my robe, slippers and hot water waiting for me. She hates for me to wash the dishes in cold water." Last year Duffy described his All-America halfback Sherman Lewis as a great player with one weakness "lie's a senior." Daugherty's wife did a book on favorite recipes of football coaches' wives and somebody asked him if he'd read it. 'I haven't," he replied, "I'm waiting for the movie version." Duffy denied that football is a contact sport. "It's a collision sport," he quipped. "Dancing is a good example of a contact sport." Neighbors were surprised one day to see a pool table being delivered to the Daugherty home.

"I don't want my boys denied the advantages I had in my youth," Duffy explained. A reporter asked Daugherty whom he was most pleased to see back this year. Duffy didn't have to pause for the answer "Me?" he replied.

It also is the time of year when visions of bowl trips, unbeaten seasons and All-, American lists begin dancing in the dreams of football players.

FRED HUTCHINSON REDS' MANAGER STARTED CAREER AS 18-YEAR-OLD WITH THIRST-- Out ancer fakes Life For Brink Of Water; Hutchinson Steps The town, in fancy, toured the Detroit farmlands with Hutch for three seasons. It suffered when he was touched for six triples in one game with Toledo; jubilated when he won 26 and lost only seven for Buffalo; smothered disappointment when he was called into military service in 1941. Hutch gave his direct reply with no sarcasm or bitterness in his deep voice: -'A team finishes fifth because it's a fifth-place team." So Hutch came home again to Seattle, but midway through the 1959 schedule he was hired by Cincinnati. In 1961 his Reds won the National League pennant and Hutch proved he had mellowed when they lost the World Series to the Yanks in five games. He broke no doors.

Now Fred was living in Florida with his wife and children but last Christmas he came home once more, alone and without advance notice. Rumors began to fly that Hutch wasn't well and had Four seasons later he was back in Detroit and he pitched in eight campaigns, never losing more than 10 in-a year. His best was '47, when he won 18. Along with this young man who couldn't stand to lose, Seattle in its thoughts kicked locker doors and water buckets or punched dugout walls on days of defeat.

If Fred was a bit below hero status then, he attained it Aug. 12 when he pitched his 19th victory on his 19th birthday. There would have been 19,000 people there if they could have found room in the Sicks Stadium.

More than 16,000 did get in, overflowing the stands into the outfield. Fielders chasing, a fly ball yelled "pardon me" instead of "I got it." Hutchinson, strong and nerveless, pitched 29 complete games for Seattle, winning 25 and losing seven. The Detroit Tigers bought him at the season's close for a price-estimated from $50,000 to $80,000. Hutch got a piece of the action; his contract with the Rainiers guaranteed him 20 of any. amount above $20,000.

Whatever the total, it included four good players who made Seattle a pennant contender for several The rookie was no sensation at Detroit in 1939. He lost six, won three, had an earned run average of 5.19 and refused to gloat over a batting average better than American League champion Joe DeMaggio's .381. Hutch hit .382. "I was only in 13 games," Fred told the bragging home folks, "and I'm not going to switch to the outfield. Detroit hired me to pitch." Seattle itfv-He was only 18 years' old, this kid with the solemn face.

It was 1938 and Freddie Hutchinson, playing his first year of professipnal baseball, had pitched himself into trouble in the eighth inning at Portland, Ore. Seattle was ahead, but Portland had two men on base with only one out and hard hitting Johnny Frederick was coming to bat. The kid beconed to the umpire, asking for time out. Casually but purposely he strode to the Seattle dugout. While his manager," Jack Lelivelt, watched in amazes ment Freddie took a long, cool drink and walked back tothe-m oun vile gave two singles and two runs, but then he retired the side that preserved his 5-3 Pacific Coast League victory.

L. H. Gregory of the Portland Oregonian asked Fred 'after the game if he had called for time 'to soothe his nerves. Fred replied, "was thirsty." The story is dear to Seattle hearts because it is so typical of the literal, uncomplicated man this city mourns today. Fred Hutchinson, former manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs of the National League, is dead of cancer in Bradenton, Fla.

The memories come flooding back. Fred grew up here, the son of a Seattle physician. He was a pitching star at Franklin High School, in American just keep throwing, Sitting among friends-several he had known sinre hnv. Detroit promoted him to manager during the 1952 season when the team vwas in eighth place. In the next three years he elevated the Tigers to fifth, then quit when the club refused him a two-year contract.

Hutch came home in 1955 to manage the team with which he got his start. He hung a punching bag in the Seattle dugout but. needed it rarely. His Rainiers won the Pacific Coast League pennant in 1955. The St.

Louis Cardinals beckoned and he managed the Birds for three seasons taking" them from sixth in '56 to second in 1957 and back to fifth again in '58 and Hutch was released. Asked why the team was going poorly, hood Hutch put his fist against his upper chest. Softly and, without prelude he said: ilI have cancer. I don't know what it will mean, but the" doctors think it was discovered in time. They say I can go back to the team after treatment.

I'll make spring practice." The questions were few and the answers direct. The newsmen left quietly, but wanting, inside, to break down doors. i Hutch did go back to the but the canoer could not be whipped. It's hard f6r Seattle to realize that Fred hasn't just called time to go for a drink of water. i.
