Football was in the air before anyone thought about the World Series and it boomed along hand" in glove with baseball even while the Series was being fought out to its seven-game (conclusion.

I While the Dodgers and Twins were playing the West Coast Trinity, outoffensed most of of the World Series, Minnesota's Vikings ran all over the afternoon and run ragged iff i- we iew ion, uiants in an Nth contest.

Then, when the ball clubs came back from Los Angeles for the sixth game, the field had to be reinstated as a baseball diamond. They did it by Jl. -lit. i ii pe wiatn oi a grounasKeeper wnisKer, out almost became by scrambling Colby quarterback Bill Loveday, showed a tenacious defense when the need arose and dropped the White Mules, 20-6 in an afternoon of exciting football Saturday after a cause celebre. Field crews making the transition of Metro Stadium back noon at Trinity Fielld.

to baseball used a little more sand on the base paths and skin The Bantams evened up the part of tne infield. I iThe writers made a bigger fuss over the additional sand series with Colby at 8-8 with the victory, which came on a 72-yard dash by Dave Ward, a tiny defensive back; a three-yard TD burst by Larry Roberts and a one yard sneak for a touchdown by Quarterback Rich Rissel. than the Dodgers did. Maybe it was put on to slow down the scampering Dodgers and retard their bunting game, but I doubt it. Walt Alston put it truthfully: "If it is all right with the umpires, it's all right with us." Ray Fitzgerald of the Springfield Union, my traveling companion, phrased it neatly, too: i "Why should they worry about sandy infield when they have andy Koufax?" IgIRLS, MEET A MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR Koufax didn't leave anything unexplained except why he Is! a bachelor at 29.

Dandy Scrambling Quarterback Loveday drove Trinity defend ers to fits with his scrambling recoveries. Twice, while back to punt, he received bad snaps from center and had to dodge would be tacklers. The first time he managed to get a fair kick off and the second, after the ball soared far over his head, he picked it up and picked his way some 30 yards for a first down. Colby was first in statistics, but Dan Jessee's youngsters against the play are Steve Freyer, (86), and Tim Radley, (10) (Courant Photo by Art Warmsley), TENDERLY, LIKE AN EGG: It was really a 36 yard bomb tossed by Trinity's Rich Rissel and received by Tom and carried to the Colby 37 yard line in the second quarter. Making a vain attempt to defend Sandy is the best pitcher the world, makes better than $100,000 a year, is good locking' enough to play movie parts and is an intelligent, personable and religious young man.

The only people who think Koufax stuffy are the ball players who have to bat' against him. Dreamy young ladies will have to wait unless they want to travel to Hawaii. That is where Sandy headed at the conclusion cf the World Series. He said he was tired and wanted to forget baseball for I while, but if he thinks the people in our newest state are going to. let him forget baseball, Koufax is not as smart 7 came up with the big plays when they counted most.

The Mules were penalty prone, losing 90 yards during the afternoon due to infractions. Ward's electrifying gallop came at a time in the first quarter when Colby seemed destined to put the first points on the scoreboard.

The jnan who looks so much like Gomer Pyle that his teammates call him Gome, had to put his left hand in the dike or the flood that had broken the dams in Minnesota would have engulfed the Dodgers.

Osteen wasn't bad, either. He had an ERA of 0.64 for the two Sames he worked. V.Minnesota fans stood up and gave Koufax a rousing ova-on when he came to bat late in the seventh game. The Min-esota players as well were ungrudging in their praise of the tnan who had beaten each of them out of $5,000.

"I'll leave the superlatives to you fellows," old Smoky said. 3 All I know is that Koufax is the greatest pitcher I have ever een." 1 Curiously, Koufax lost his curve ball in the last game, stead of fretting about it, he dug down deep in his store of strong-armed energy and blazed a fast ball that overpowered the Twin batters. Jim Grant lost his curve in the first game, too. Neither man iould explain why this pitch deserted them in a big clutch, but it didn't keep either from winning. When asked if a pitcher who had lost his curve didn't have tp be lucky to win, Grant had an answer.
