The trade may involve as many as 12 players, the Associated Press learned from an authoritative source.

In addition to Turley and Larsen. perhaps the most promising of the young pitchers sprinkled among the also-ran teams of the American League, the Yanks also reportedly received shortstop Billy Hunter. In return, the Yankees, who had made repeated inquiries about all three Orioles in the past, gave up veteran outfielder Gene Woodling, pitcher Harry Byrd. first baseman Eddie Robinson, utility infielder Willie Miranda and Jim McDonald, a 4-1 right-hander. Several minor league players also are said to be involved.

The deal--one of baseball's biggest in recent years--was expected to be confirmed today in two separate press conferences called by the Yankees and Orioles. Two of the minor league players are belieyed to be catchers--Gus Triandos, who played at Kansas City last season, and Hal Smith of Columbus (Ohio). Neither Turley nor Larsen had impressive won-lost records with the seventh-place Orioles. But Turley, 24, powered his fireball for a league-leading strikeout total of 184 and had an earned-run average of 3.46 whple wnning 14 and losing A By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS North Carolina's Tar Heels and Virginia's Cavaliers meet this Saturday at Charlottesville in the longest series of old Southern football rivalries. It will be game No.

59. The series got off to a roaring start back in 1892, when 'two games were played. Virginia won the. first 30-18 at home and North Carolina took the second 26-0 in Atlanta. Of the previous 58 games, North Carolina's victory total stands at 29 and Virginia has won 26.

The three ties complete the count. North Carolina enters the game this week the slight favorite -but judging from past records, its still anybody's game. The Tar Heels held a long practice session yesterday and quarterbacks Len Bulock and Doug Farmer gave an impressive aeria show. Virginia coaches eased upon the practice program after two days heavy scrimmaging. Yesterday a hands brushed up on special conditions and spent an equal time rehearsing offensive maneuvers.

The North Caroina State Wolf- pack held a light workout then viewed movies of last year's 59-0 loss to West Virginia, hoping to stimulate a winning spirit for Saturday's game against the Mountaineers at Morgantown. The game winds up the Wolf- pack's 1954 season. From the way things shape up it appears the Wolfpaek will need more than spirit against the powerful Southern Conference champions. Its almost a repeat of the 1953 picture, with the Mountaineers apparently headed toward a possible It It and THE mim THING 3.46 while wnning 14 and losing 15. Larsen, 26, had a miserable record, winning only 3 of 24 decisions, but still was held in high regard by the league.

One of his victories was a shutout against the second- place Yanks, who "lost out in the pennant race for the first time since 1949. The Yanks lost little in giving up Byrd, who finished with a so-so 9-7 record that fell far below the Yanks' expectations when they picked up the 30-year-old hurler along with Robinson in an 11-player deal with the -Philadelphia Athletics last winter. 32, a Yankee for the past six years, was hobbled by injuries last season and batted only lowest mark in nine major league'seasons. Hunter, 26, has two major league seasons behind him with the St. Louis Browns, forerunners of the Orioles, as "a new Marty Marion." Not a hitter, he -batted .244 last season.

He has proved promising in the field and could be the Yanks' replacement for veteran Phil Rizzuto. bowl bid.

Coach Rex Enright put his first and second units through an offensive drill against reserves then scrimmaged them on against Blue Devil plays.

Gamecocks are putting a lot of faith in their offense in their attempt to upset Duke but Duke is the leading offensive team in the ACC, and Coach Enright's strategy may be to out-score the Devils. is heavily favored but not to be forgotten is that team from Vest Point which also was heavily 'avored. There svas good news at Duke as sophomore end Bob Benson re- urned to practice and there was marked improvement in the condition of tackle Sid DeLoatch. Also back in full-time drills was veteran halfback Nick McKeithan. 3oth offense and defense got attention yesterday.

As the Wake Forest Deacons surveyed a growing injury list football contact work was held to a minimum. Five players are on the list. Trainer Ernie McKenzie said three probably will not see action against William and Mary Saturday. Coach Tom Rogers sent the team through a workout on pass defense. At Cemson, Auburn-type defenses were used against the Tiger regulars and the squad looked strong in stopping Ken Moore was back in his right halfback spot after missing earlier practice sessions because of injuries suffered in last week's game with Maryland.

Clemson plays at Auburn Saturday. The Maryland Terps held a second straight contact scrimmage which lasted more than an hour, then held a drill under lights last night as the Saturday game with George Washington drew closer. The Terps are in good physical condition for the game at College Park. Pirates Hold Final Practice Grid Season Nearly Over No Help Needed To Boost Navy- But Middies Lead By BUIE SEAWELL High School Sports Editor The Lumberton Pirates brought to an official close football practice today with light drills on a slightly muddy armory field and after tomorrow night will call it a season. NEW YORK av-Not that it needs it, but the Ai-my Navy football classic at Philadelphia Nov.

27 got yet another boost as a gate attraction today as the Midshipmen retuvned to the top of the list of the nation's leading defensive units among major colleges. That information, supplied by NCAA statisticians, sets up the Philadelphia struggle as a test of the leading offensive and defensive elevens. Navy took over the No. 1 spot in total defense by holding Columbia to 143 yards last weekend. That reduced the Middies' allowance average to 168.9 yards a game.

Army is entrenched as the leading total offense club, 459.4 yards a game, and also as the top rushing team, 329.1 yards a game. The versatile Midshipmen, mean while are No. 2 in total offense (401.3) and third in rushing defense, allowing 82.3 yards a contest While the standings may shift a little this weekend since both Army and Navy are idle, this week's staistics still point to a humdinger of a battle between the two service academies. Richmond is second in total defense, allowing 170.8 yards a game with Clemson third on' a 1TL.4 average. The team, which has been drill- second string this year he ing since the middle August, still had that fine spirit that they started the season with some three and months ago.

Offensive and defensive patterns were the order of the day. At the close of this, their last practice, the Bues appeared confident of a svin tomorrow night when they take on lowly Raeford in the final game of the 1954 season, a nonconference Several members of the Pirate team hug up their practice togs for the last time Jimmy Williams, star full-back and one of the best men in the state- at the deep slot in the Billy Crofton, Co-captain with Williams and one of the finest tackles, ever produced by Lumberton High School; Zane Brisson, left end the best defensive end in as long as anyone can remember; Ronald Thompson, right guard, a boy with more fire and spirit in the line than any other lineman on. the team; Porgie Allen, small but still the quickest thinker and most line-backer on the team; Buddy Davis, although moved to still made a fine record as, a defensive as well as an offensive man; Kenneth McNeil, a-boy who has improved all through the season and now at the season's close is one of the most dependable line replacements on the team; and last but far from least Ray Evans, who last season was first string fullback for the Bucs and this year has made a fine name as a good defensive man as well as one of the team's hardest runners. That graduation of these boys; will hurt the Bues is unquestionable. All have contributed much towards getting Lurnberton counted once again among the high school grid powers of the state.

The 30-year-old kingpin from Harlem regained the title last night when he battered Paddy DeMarco of Brooklyn into a mess and submission in-the.

15th and final round of a fought battle in the vast Cow Palace. Referee Ray Flores halted the massacre. Paddy, 26, making the first defense of the championship he captured from Jimmy in New York last March 5, was out on his feet, his left eye swolen and all but shut, and his cheek rapidly assuming a deep blue Carter now stands as the only lightweight king to win the crown three times. He won it originally from'Ike Williams in 1951, lost it to Lauro Salas in 1952, regained it six months later and then surrendered the honor to his rival from Brooklyn. Twice Carter had his man on hook tot he chin in the ninth for a four-count, and with a barrrage rf punches just as the bell ended the 14th, The knockdown in the ninth, the in Paddy's career of some 83 fights, signaled the outcome.

The battering in the 14th spelled out the finish and actually the technical knockout in the 15th was anticlimactic. Carter called his victory the.big- gest thrill since he started boxing in 1946. His manager; Willie Ketchum said he has no immediate plans for Jimmy but he is definitely interested in a title match with one of the nation's newest television attractions, California's Cisco Andrade. Bitter criticism of Referee Ray Flores came from the DeMarco Paddy accused Flores of "pushing" him. "He had me off balance all Paddy charged, referring to Flores' efforts to separate the men in the clinching.

"The referee wouldn't let me fight inside," Paddy said. "I'll fight Carter any time. In three weeks, if he wants to. I I can beat him any time."
