Chuck HInton managed i( ii nr 4 it i I ft A 1 1 i Vi I i I r.f I 4 V' Two Platoons Great (or Mitch THE HANDY thing about two-platoon football, of course, is that It offers the thrill of competition to more players. This wouldn't have to be true, because coaches actually could send fresh players into the game under the old one-platoon -rulesT- But-they-become-convlnced some are better than others, so they keep the good ones in the game even when it should be obvious that a fresh second-stringer could be more helpful than a tired first- Two-platoon ball encourages a coach to get 22 men ready Instead of 11. He begins looking for special tal-' ents.

Take this Iowa team for example. One of the play-r ers benefited by Coach Jerry Burns' decision to try a two-platoon system Is Bob Mitchell, a tackle shaped along the lines of a king-sized fire hydrant. Bob, 5-10 and 223 pounds, will be a senior this fall He was a third or fourth-string player his first two seasons, mostly because the coaches felt he had weaknesses offensively. It's not that Bob had trouble remembering signals or anything like that; he doesn't have great speed and he didn't succeed in mastering the blocking techniques demanded by offensive football. Put him on defense and he'll go with the best of Here's a sort of vest-pocket Alex Karras when At comes to grabbing people and sorting out the ball carrier.

-j- Smaller Strike lone 49 Raiders Stranded in Five Games By GuV Schrader Oanttt Sport SCHtor Maybe what Manager Rol-lie Hemsley needs Is a duck-caller, as his Red Raiders have left far too many ducks on the- pond -in -losing -four of their first five Midwest league games. The Raiders stranded 11 runners on base In Tuesday night's 9-4 setback by Burlington, making 49 marooned in five games. Ia that time the team has had the batting punch to bring in only 13 runs. The Raiders went on the road, having games scheduled against Fox Cities at Appleton, Wednesday and Thursday nights and at Wisconsin Rapids Friday and Saturday nights. Two more players ordered here by the Cincinnati Reds' farm system arrived Tuesday.

They are outfielder Steve Longley and mfielder HowTeMflfigafiu Hemsley is hoping both brought their batting eyes. A few hits in the right places would have come in handy Tuesday night as the three Burlington pitchers walked 13 men, hit a batter and gave three hits. Hemsley was so despairing of getting enough hits that he had his boys sacrificing in the second and fourth innings, trailing by Washington's only hit off the young right-hander in the fourth inning when the Sena tors scored their run. Elsewhere In the Amerl-" can League, the New York Yankees blew a lead In the ninth Inning but came back to nip the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in 10 innings; Los Angeles stole some of Kansas City's home run thunder and whacked the Athletics 8-1 and Boston blanked Cleveland 4-0, Minnesota and Chicago were not scheduled. Washburn Back, Cardinals Win By Mike Rathet Assoclatad Prass Sports Wrlltr We couldn't want him much better," said St.

Louis Manager Johnny Keane. "It means an awful lot to us to have him back." Keane was talking about pitcher Ray Washburn, who Tuesday night made his first start since returning from the minors and scattered seven Philadelphia hits before needing ninth-inning relief help in the Cardinals' 2-1 victory over the Phillies. Washburn has purposely been brought along slowly by Keane, who feels the young right-hander figures heavily in the Cardinals' National league pennant chances. A healthy Washburn would give St. Louis a starting staff that also includes Ernie Broglio, Bob Gibson, Curt Simmons and Roger Craig.

Apparently, a pa Associated Press THE TOE IS READY Lou "The Toe" Groia, kicking specialist, signed his 18th Cleveland Browns contract Monday and announced he doesn't plan to quit playing in the NFL as long as ha enjoys it and feels he can do the team some good. Last season Groza led the league in field goal percentage, making good on 15 of 23 attempts. He also booted 40 extra points for a total of 85 points, boosting his NFL mark to 987. He has a career total of 1,246 points. Oriole Hurls By Hal Bock Associated Press Sports Writer -WhenWally Bunker nodded his okay to eager Baltimore and signed a $70,000 bonus contract with the Orioles, he probably never dreamed that he'd be deceived into stardom.

But that's just what hap pened to the 19-year-old pitching prodigy Tuesday when Manager Hank Bauer sent him out to the mound against the Washington Sena tors. The youngster hadn't worked since the Orioles' final exhibition game and Bauer told him he'd go just four or five Innings against the Sentators. After five in nings Bunker had allowed just one hit and Bauer was about as far away from the bullpen phone as a manager hcould be.

1 exhibition. Boros was the 1963 U.S. Open champion, and Bayer is recognized as the longest hitter in professional golf. Judo King Killed BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands (AP Judoka Jan Van Ierland, 27, European Judo champion in 1961, was killed in an auto accident Tuesday night when his Porsche and another car were involved in a headon collision, police reported. Since his matriculation at Iowa, Bob has become a measuring stick for testing the amount of ruggedness offered by anybody else who thinks he's tough.

He's a great favorite with his teammates, who claim he's the I type who could go bear-hunting with a switch a light switch, even. "7 When Burns decided to train one platoon for-de 'tense, the first man the coaches named for one of the was Bob Mitchell. There may be faster de-, tensive tackles, and certainly there are taller ones. But there is some advantage in being short At least Bob's stature offers opponents a small zone" for applying their blocks. He's got a low center of gravity, too, so knocking him off his pins is not easy.

Detroit could learn something from a model like Mitchell. We asked Bob if he often meets people who are more rugged than he is. He admitted he has, but not bare-handed ones. He tells an interesting tale along that line. Last summer he was driving a car in one of the tougher sections of ChicagoAnother motorist cut him off get-! ting away from a stop light, forcing Bob to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision.

Standings I'll Return This Year: Tebbetts TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Cleveland Manager Birdie Tebbetts says he's going to fool those who say his heart attack has finished him for the year. "I intend to convince the doctors that I can get back as manager," he said at his first news conference since his April I attack. "If the doctors say I am out for the year, that's it.

Link Curtis hoisted a routine fly to short right-center. It was that time of twilight when it's easy to lose sight of a ball, and that's what Arle Burge did, letting it drop for a one-run single.

Then Jack Hutchinson bai ted in another run with a feouncer -that-was turned into an unusual double play by Eusebio Rosas, Bee second baseman. The Raiders got single runs In the fourth and fifth, but Burlington sealed the verdict with a four-run blast in the third and two- run splurges in the seventh and ninth. Longest hit of the night was a triple by Dick Hyson. It should have been a single, but it took a wild bounce high over the head of Curtis in left. That had to be quite a bounce, because Curtis Page 2D, Col.
