Also the addition of Eddie Robinson to full-time status in the position of field director, who will spend a lot of time sizing up Oriole farm clubs and players, seems a good move.

Gosh knows It's about time our farm operations began to produce something we can use.

20 (JP) Larry MEMBERS OF TIIE Colts will have an opportunity today to see how the other half lives, on television, as the Giants and Browns knock heads together this P.M., to give the winner the privilege of being belted around seven days hence by Wceb Ew-bank's stalwarts. According to dispatches, both of today's teams are fit for the fray and ask only a fair shake in the weather and field conditions. To the inexpert sideliner, it would appear that the only reason one could have for favoring either team, in so far as risking dough on the outcome, would have to be built entirely on the unreliable foundation of sentiment. 0 No Choice LAST WEEK'S terrific 1310 tussle between this pair presents a fair idea of how they rate against each other. The Giants took the decision then, the Browns could just as well do it today.

Pat, Giai.t Edge ONLY REAL difference last week was that the Giants put more foot in football than their opponents. Pat Summerall, with a 49-yard field goal in the final quarter to break the tie, following an earlier boot of 46 yards for another field goal, was the only real edge the Giants had. 0 Punls I3ipr Item FOR TIIE BROWNS, Lou Groza had propelled the pigskin between the uprights, from 22 yards out, in the second quarter. This being history now, it Is not surprising to be told by expert observers that the guy with the most accurate toe may again be the decisive difference. Even the coaches argue the same way about it, naturally.

It's like Jim Howell, Giant mastermind, says; "When you have two teams, each of which has a good long field-goal man, your punter may Morgan State became the first Baltimore team to enter the All-Eastern Indoor track meet at the 5th Regiment Armory as Coach Eddie Hurt yesterday announced a 39-man squad for the event. The Bears join Maryland, Georgetown, Winston Salem, Duke and Virginia on the early list, bringing the individual entries close to the 100 mark. 3 Relay Teams Among Morgan's entries are three relay teams mile, freshman mile and 2-mile sprinter Paul Winder, Nick Ellis and a pair of high jumpers, and half-miler Lee Martin. Winder finished second In 60-yard dash last January running behind Ed Miles, a Washington high-school star. Ken Kave, former Morgan ace, was third in the final but equaled the world mark of 6.1 in his preliminary heat.

Ellis Is expected to replace graduated Bob McMurray as Morgan's premier middle distance man. Compose Team Hurt's mile relay squad will be composed of Winder, Tom Anderson, Hosea Smith and Ellis. Ellis was the second man on the varsity foursome last season and is the only returning veteran. The 2-mile quartet Is tentatively listed as Robert Ridley, Jim Booker, Roland Merri-weather and Martin, This country's female track stars have drawn much attention since their loss to the Russians this summer.

Mays topped the circuit in the Director of Public Relations post means that MacPhail retains another executive who can double in brass or handle almost any Job in the organization to help provide that "versatility and flexibility" Lee finds most desirable. Business manager Herb Armstrong is another who, knowing the game "from A to Izzard," can team up on the flexibility and versatility angle if need develops. You'd have to say that if MacPhail can only get a comparable flexibility, versatility and ability crew on the field his stature as a general manager will be secure.

Scout Shakeup THE DISPATCH from Washington, which informs that the Senators have shaken up their scouting staff by adding nine new ones while discarding six, brings forth an interesting angle to this scouting business. This would be that the highly successful Yankees, with nineteen, have the smallest number of any club in the league. Strangely enough, through the years, Yank scouts seem to have shown a superior ability to detect playing potential particularly in the raw. Maybe that's the answer to scouting worth. 0 Birds Pace Loop Fischer, the 15-year-old Brook stolen bases for the third time with 31 and scored the most lyn boy woncer, piayea nis tnira straicht adiourned match, this time wtih James T.
