EDITORS NOTE).

By JERRY LISKA COLUMBUS. Ohio UP Coach Woody Hayes is working hard to keep his highly-rated Ohio State Buckeyes from getting fat-headed. So steamed up is Hayes to repeat as Big Ten football champion, if not produce a mythical national title, that yesterday he chased a delegation of visiting sports writers from the Buckeye practice field so we can play some football. Later, Hayes apologized to the group, making a plane tour of Big Ten camps. Hayes said work on Buckeye defenses displeased him and he wanted to give his players a tongue-lashing.

Soph Making Strong Bid There is a shortage of quarter backs at Camp Randall but Badger football coach Milt Bruhn doesnt seem to be too worried about it. Dale Hackbart, tbe Madison East high school pride, rated as the No. 1 quarterback for Wisconsin. has been sidelined for several days with a bump on his knee and will definitely be lost for Saturday afternoons scrimmage. Hackbart bumped his knee in the defensive part of Wednesdays scrimmage and will be rested until next week.

The injury is not serious. Sid Williams, closly ranked behind Hackbart, has been bothered with a bruised wrist and has not been able to do any passing. He has been running at left halfback, a position he will also be playing this fall. Absence of the two front line quarterbacks has given Shorty Young, the hustling sophomore from Sauk City his opportunity and he has made the most of it. He has done so well, in fact, that he has surprised even the coaching staff and this is one of the reasons that Bruhn hasnt worried too much about the temporary absence of Hackbart and Williams.

Bruhn said that Young will do most of the quarterbacking for both the first and second teams in Saturdays scrimmage with Williams breaking in for some work at the position. Bruhn was happy after Thursdays one drill the morning workout was cancelled because of class registration. They are in pretty good condition now, Bruhn said, they are finally doing some things the way we want them. Two of the five regulars who were demoted earlier in the week were back on the first team. Jon Hobbs regained his fullback spot and Bob Zeman was at right halfback.

Danny Lanphear and Jim Fraser went from the third to the second team and Jim Heineke lost first team ranking at right tackle to second team. Terry Huxhold, Milwaukee sophomore, was at left tackle, and Lowell Gootch Jenkins was at right tackle on the first team alignments. IBipaDtHhei? iSXett Burdette, who has 10 defeats, will be opposed by Bob Mabe, 2-5 for the Cardinals, tied with Cincinnati for fourth place. On Saturday in the final County Stadium appearance of the Cardinals Warren Spahn will bid for his 20th victory. He also has 10 defeats.

The Braves and Cards will end season activities next week in St. Louis. The two-game series opening tonight will bring into direct clash two of the top I three batters in the National League, Milwaukees Hank Aaron and Stan Musial of the Cards. Musial, at the top of the list almost since the season started, is hitting .338. Aaron, who started his climb in early August, is i points back at .333, but only one point behind Richie Asnbura of the Philadelphia Phillies, the second man in the race for the title.

Musial has 150 hits in 444 at bats in 128 games. Aaron has played in 139 games, gone to the plate 553 times and collected 184 hits. Hes also scored 99 runs while Musial has 62. The Braves outfielder also is involved in a three-way tie for fourth in the leagues home run derby with 28. Aarons batting average is 13 points higher than the best in the American League, the 320 shared by Pete Runnels and Ted Williams, both of Boston.

Aaron is one of only three Braves regulars hitting over .300. The others are Frank Torre, 30 points ahead of last year with .307, and the part-time playing Wes Covington, who despite injuries is clubbing the ball at a .328 pace. Hes batted only 268 times, less than half Aarons total. At this stage of the campaign in 1957 Milwaukee had four hitters over .300 with Bob Hazle showing the way with .419. Hes now at Detroit relegated to pinch-hitting assignments.

Aaron was hitting .320, Red Schoendienst. 313 and Ed Mathews .302. Last year the Braves also got a big hand in the final month rom Johnny Logan, but this year he, Mathews and Schoendienst are way off pace at the plate. Logans average has slipped to .234 while Mathews and Schoendienst are .257 and .256, respec tively. However, Mathews is third in the home run race with 30.

Paul Shwaiko 1 0 attexC SAYS: itwviwvm 'HE BADGERS looked far more impressive Wednesday in scrimmage and Milt Bruhn and his aides breathe easier. In fact practice was dismissed earlier then 5:30. That spoke well for the drill and it looks as though the Badgers are putting forth in a worth while manner. James D. Stewart, presides! of the TRA, has appointed Barry Whitehead chairman of the associations board of selection for the naming of the 1358 champions, according to an announcement made today by Spencer J.

Drayton, executive director of TRA. A San Franciscan with a lifetime background in thoroughbred racing, Barry Whitehead Is racing secretary of Del Mai and Taaforaa race tracks and has been a member of the TRA Board of Selection since its formation in 1958. Whitehead beads a group I 24 racing secretaries who officiate at the TRAs 48 member race tracks. They will name the champion and fitly among two and three year-olds; champions in the handicap division, champions in the handicap division, filly and mare division and steeplechase division and the overal American Champion. -e -e CACH ANDY Gustafson may have to have three playing units ready to combat Wisconsin when the Badgers help Miami open its grid season Sept.

26 in the Orange Bowl. The problem to meet this depth is a big one for the Hurricanes. Coach Gustafson believes his first unit is coming along well and should be ready, with little or no change in personnel. Some tinker i may yet on the second unit which, going into the second week of the season, is just beginning to show signs of coming round. At best, it will yield quite a bit to Wisconsin in the matter of experience.

The Yankees could be ia serious trouble la the World Series if their ailing pitchers dont come around Don Larsen, Whitey Ford and Ryne Duren are all hurt and its a pitching strength which wins a short series. -e IERRY BRENNAN, Irish coach, should have fond memories when Army returns to South Bend for the first time since 1949.

The tailor is Paul Shwaiko one of the leading candidates for left guard on the Wisconsin football team this fall. Actually Paul is not a tailor, he is one good football player and is studying for a degree in dairy industry. Wisconsin wiH have only one brother combination on its football squad this season but the pair is certainly topnotch aad will have plenty to say as to the Badgers fate in the Big Ten race. Pictured above are halfback Billy Hobbs, a junior and brother Jon, a senior. The pair hails from Eau Claire.

Jon is a fullback and co-captain and one of tbe most versatile players on the Wisconsin squad. Billy is a hard runner. (Photo by Tom Barlet) 11 Local Hopes He dismissed the sports writers from the practice field, he said, because I never give my kids hell in front of outsiders and I dont believe in whipj: them in the newspapers. Although Hayes already has publicly picked his Buckeyes as the best in the Big Ten, he said eing highly rated is a definite handicap. I have worked harder this fall than any other previous season, said Hayes, starting his eighth Buckeye campaign.

A kid does what his coach does. And if a coach gets fat-headed, you get a fat-headed squad. Hayes, who is as loquatious as he is successful, said we dont deserve the high ratings we have been getting. At the same time, he said that compared with the 1957 squad at this point last fall, this years Buckeye squad looms a better team. The Buckeyes have 16 letter-men back from last years club which had a 9-1 record and defeated Oregon in the Rose Bowl, 10-7.

That is the fewest award winners Hayes has had in his eight years in this football frenzied city. Hayes said his grind-em-o split-T attack will present a more wide open game with more passing than last year. We dont pass just to move the ball downfield, said Hayes. We will try for touchdowns on our passes. However, Hayes has said the same thing for several seasons and his relentless Buckeyes always wind up with the two and six, move the sticks attack.

Hayes has two tremendous ball carriers in fullback Bob White, a sensation as a sophomore last year, and halfback Don Clark, one of the countrys finest runners. Clark has been ailing parts of two seasons, but Hayes says he is sound as a dollar now. One sports writer recently said Hayes this season has everything except humility. He may not be far from right. Of his two top quarterbacks, Hayes says one, veteran Frank Kremblas, is exceedingly fine, and the other, Jerry Field, a kid with great promise.

The thing that made us go last season, said Hayes, was the fine development of three (Continued on 2nd Sport Page) His last name Shwaiko is a Russian name meaning a tailor. His parents came from White Russia, but they too, were not tailors, but were farmers. They were handed down the name Shwaiko from their forebears who had been tailors. The name Paul Shwaiko has been a familiar one around the Wisconsin campus since 1952. As a freshman he was a first string defensive halfback on the ladger eleven that won the Big Ten championship and went on the Rose Bowl.

The next year he ran into scholastic difficulty but the years of 954 and 1955 saw him as a reguar guard for the Badgers. Then be was drafted into the army and was discharged this summer. Now he is making that difficult transition back into football from a service stretch and an almost completely different system of ootball from that which he The first team had Dave Ko-courek and Earl Hill at the ends; Huxhold Jenkins, tackles; Ron Perkins and George Chryst, guards; Dick Teteak, center; Young, quarterback; Ron Steiner and Zeman, halfbacks; and Hobbs, fullback. Hill has a muscle ull and when the contact work itarted. Hank Derleth, the Beaver Dam sophomore, moved in.

Probably not scrimmaging Saturday will be Hill, Hackbart, Jim flolmes, Roger Parish, and A1 Walker. There is a good possibility that Billy Hobbs, sidelined most of this week with boils, will be back in action Saturday. Tbe scrimmage is slated to start at 2 p. m. behind closed doors.
