Saturday, September 29, 1962 Strmtnaham N'rma 4 "Bama roars to 44-6 win Tulane jinx over Tiders buried under TD deluge recounted. It just iced the cake. Versprille. the 185-junior from Norfolk, who took over first string when first Mike Fracchia and then Dink Wall came down with knee miseries, was Alabama's big ground gainer. He got 97 yards in 13 hauls.

JACK HURLBUT, who couldnt generate a scoring punch this week like in the 35-0 conquest of Georgia, gained 26 yards in eight carries. Hurlbut did get the Tide an appearent three-points from Davis early in the third period but Davis true 36-yard field goal was recalled by penalty. A second DaviS try from 41 yards out was short. Defense-wise, Alabamas entire Red team was sterling which was no upset. The Tide reserves didnt show too gaudily- Bryant used 39 players.

He did not employ End Bill Battle or Wall, and he did not send Tackle Charley Pell out in the half after Pell re-hurt his hip in the second period. Statistice-wise Tulane wasn beaten nearly as badly on paper as on the field. The Tide only outdid the Greenies 17-14 in first downs and 312 yards to 192 in total offense. Namath had a second brilliant night with his right arm. He completed six of seven pass tries against Tulane, two for touchdowns.

The half dozen connections gained 98 yards. Last week against Georgia loose-jointed Joe hit 10 of 14. Three were for touchdowns. ALABAMA (441-LE Williomsen, C. Stephens.

Bob Pet-tees stunning block sprung Rankin. Three Namath sneaks got the two yards remaining. Another pass interception and fine return, this one by Wilson, set up the last Alabama touchdown before rest time. Wilson picked off this throw by QB A1 Burguires on his 18 and sped it 57 yards to the Tulane 25. Some quick blocks helped Wilson some help by some Tiders who reacted like the superbly coached players they are.

From the 25, Clark punched for two at left guard and then fielded a bullet from Namath around the 15 and dodged home. The other touchdown has been Millers TD pass to Dellenger, on third-and-five from the six, came after the little scooter had danced from sideline to sideline and finally appeared to be ready to run. He then threw. Dellenger caught the ball deep in the end zone. Some thought the big end came down on the back line or beyond.

In the other games, Minnesota clinched at least a tie for second place in the American League with an 11-5 rout of Baltimore. Detroit whipped Kansas City 7-3, the Chicago Cubs beat New York's Mets 3-2, Pittsburgh stopped Milwaukee 8-2 on Bob Veales three-hit pitching and Cincihnati took Philadelphia 7-3. The Los Angeles at Cleveland doubleheader was postponed because of rain.

Boston and Washington were not scheduled. Tommy Davis single drove in a first inning Dodger run, the 150th of the season for Davis, but the Cards matched it in the second. St. Louis went up 2-1 in the fifth on Julian Javiers single, a bunt and Stan Musials single. It rocked along that way until News slot) photo Robert BUTCH WILSON SCORES FIRST ALABAMA TD WITH HELP FROM ERSPRILLE Crimson Tide back goes in from seven after teammate (No.

20 right photo) had carried that far And that's enough BY ALF VAN HOOSE Assistant sports editor NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29 That so-called Tulane jinx over Alabama football teams in the Sugar Bowl Forget it. Its dead. It expired Friday night as the nation's No. 1 team rushed from its corner to a quick touchdown.

then kept slugging away until it was waltzing in a 44-6 conquest of the Greenies. It was a 19th straight unbeaten game for Alabama. It took some mighty hard tugging on the reins by Coach Paul Bryant to keep the score even 38 points close. The Tide, unleashed fully, could possibly have blown off a record margin in an ancient and honorable series. As it turned out.

the 38 depraved only the second biggest margin of victory. in a 68-year-old rivalry. Alabama's 1914 team did the Wave in, 58-0. Young Tulane, under first-year Head Coach Tommy O'Boyle, did snap a 35-quarter touchdownless streak built by Alabama, but they also hurt themselves with errors all evening about as much as they troubled the Tide, with penalties, fumbles, defensive lapses and things like that. The Greenies unwrapped a surprising shotgun formation and marched behind it 54 yards to a second period score.

The climax was a scoring pitch from the six from Quarterback Ted Miller to End Clem Del-lenger. Before that, and afterwards, it was all Alabama flicking the scoreboard for some 40,000 in Tulane Stadium. Halfback Cotton Clark scored three touchdowns for the second game in a row. George Wilson, Ole Butch, got two. and Joe Namath, the soph quarterbacking phenom, sneaked over the other one.

THE OTHER eight 'Bama points came from a four-for-four extra point night by Place Kicker Tim Davis, afld two two-point deals involving a Namath run and a Namath pass to that man Clark. Alabamas Red unit, its mighty starting crew, did all its point-producing, Namath at the throttle each time, as poised as John Unitas of the Baltimore Colts. The 185-pound rookie from Beaver Falls. Va pointed the Tide off on 83 and 51-yard TD marches in a first quarter, and. after Tulane made it 14-6.

stoked up movements of 49. two and 25 yards to a 36-6 intermission margin. Bryant, who had lost once and tied once with favored 'Bama teams in New Orleans (against Tulane) since he returned to Tuscaloosa in 1958. then put blankets around his big club except for one second-half period of two minutes. With a minute to go in the third period.

Gaylon McCullough fell on a fumbled punt on the Tulane 25. and Bryant took the halter off his Reds for five plays. That meant a touchdown Clark getting it on a two-yard pass from Namath on which the senior halfback from Kansas, wrestled right out of the fists of Greenie Halfback Jerry Graves. A brief summary of scoring went: Alabama received the opening kickoff, and after being penalized back to its 17, struck goal-ward. It took eight plays, four of them runs by Eddie Versprilld for 56 yards.

The final seven yards came off a Namath fake to Versprille and a pitchout to Wilson. Wilson buzzed around left end, and across, untouched. THE TIDE built its lead to 14-0 by a 51-yard stab some nine minutes later. This took 10 scrimmages, the big one a Na-math-Richard Williamson pass for 30 yards down to the Greenie one. Williamson thought he scored but an official ruled he stumbled out on the one before knocking down the corner flag.

Wilson tallied this time, burrowing over tackle after two plays gained nothing. Tulane wouldn't plav dead though behind. The Greenies went into the old give-lip formation, the spread, and before Alabama could adjust, the homeboys had a first down on a Tide since North Carolina State's Roman Gabriel passed for a honest one during the fourth game of all-winning 1961. Greenie QBs Bob Voisert and Miller mixed sweeps and passing into his surprising punch against a defensive team which has a certain pride about shutouts, and they rolled the Greenie? successfully either upstairs or down. BY BOB GREEN Associated Press sports writer The Los Angeles Dodgers, who were supposed to have things all locked up last Monday, suddenly have their backs to the wall, time running out and the pressure mounting hourly.

It was Monday that the Dodgers held a four game lead and an apparent lock on the National League pennant. Since then, however, Walt Alstons suddenly faltering heros have lost four of five, San Francisco has grabbed three of four and the difference is only 1 Yt games. Two nights in a row now the Dodgers have blown a chance to clinch at least a tie for the No. 1 spot. All they had to do was win.

Each time they lost. Friday night the margin was 3-2 in 10 innings. San Francisco was rained out in its game with Houston and faces a twin bill with the Colts Saturday and a final windup game Sunday. Los Angeles has two left, both against the tough Cards. The line for the two contenders looks like this: W.

L. Pct.C.B. ut LM Anoeles 101 50 .431 1 San Froncitct ft 44 .413 vt 3 The situation remains the same: A Dodger victory or a Giant loss gives the Dodgers at least a share of the top spot. Any combination of Dodger victories and Giant losses totaling two gives the pennant to the Dodgers. For San Francisco to win, it would take three Giant victories and two Dodger losses.

For the Giants to tie, they must win at least two, and the Dodgers lose two. Charley James was the chief tormentor of the stricken Dodgers Friday night, driving in the winning run with a two-out single in the 10th off Ron Per-ranoski. It was the eighth loss in 11 games for Los Angeles. In the American League, the champion New York Yankees came from behind in the seventh inning and beat the Chicago White Sox and 42-year-oid Early Wynn 7-3, spoiling Wynns third bid for his 300th career victory."

Then following a -Leeds quick-kick, the Tigers came back 69 yards, with Bobby Mumpower going the final 17 yards up the middle. Guard Wayne Veitch kicked the 13th Fairfield point.

In Leeds tough defense, guards Joe Mack Smith and Ken Dawkins were standouts, with tackle Jimmy Fuller and guard Johnny Reeves line stalwarts for Fairfield.

Fairfield now owns a 2-1 record, Leeds a 1-2 record. BY RONALD WEATHERS News sports writer Fullback Joe Simon, a 190-pound strong boy, proved the difference as Tuscaloosa Black Bears cashed in their only break of the game for a 7-0 victory over i Bessemer Purple Tigers in Bessemer Stadium Friday night. While the Bruins were weathers not able to move the football into Bessemer territory the first three periods, Simon kept the Tigers at bay with six booming kicks which averaged out to 41.7 yards per try. And until Bessemer fullback Mike Morris saw a 19-yard boot slither off the side of his foot halfway through the final period, he stayed right with Simon in punting Bessemer out of hot water. But that one bad kick proved to be all Tuscaloosa needed.

With the ball going out on Bessemers 36, the Bruins took it and rammed it into the Tiger end zone in five plays. Simon, Tuscaloosas leading rusher with 35 tough yards in 11 tries, hacked out nary a yard on this push. But teammates Warren Day, a halfback, and soph quarterback A1 Kincaid did. Day burst through the left side of Bessemers line for gains of nine and 17 yards; and Kincaid ran seven and the final two yards in the drive. Jimmy Jacobs kicked the seventh point; and with 5:10 left in the game, Bessemer could do nothing about it.

On offense and defense, I thought Simon got the job done for us, said Bruin Coach Billy Henderson at the finish. It was evident, too, that he had much help, chiefly from guard Hank Herrod and end Don Barksdale, along with such as guard Har- Coliege football Alobomo 44, Tulane 4.

Pott leads PGA meet 10 strokes HARAHAN, Sept. 29 iff) Johnny Pott held a runaway 10-stroke lead today as the third round of the Southeastern PGA sectional golf tourney began here. Pott, who broke the Colonial Country Club course record with an 8-under-par 63 in the opening round, added a 4-under-67 Friday for a 36-hole total of 130.

Still, the 26-year-old Pott, a perfectionist since his golfing days at Louisiana State, was not satisfied with his second round. "I didn't play as well today if I had, I might have shot a 60 the way my putts were falling, he said. Pott had 11 one-putt greens Friday and needed only 25 putts for the 18 holes.

Though it built a 14-0 advantage in those 15 minutes, it came strictly through from impressive action by the Tide's two-way unit. The Tide's Whites, the specialists defenders, didn't hold Tulane very stoutly, nor did the Blues, supposedly the go-team on offense, couldn't do much In the final half, after the Red Tide club built a 36-6 intermission lead, Bryant gave all 39 men ample opportunity to play, but in no set pattern. Bryant was happy with the squad's second easy triumph of the year but he was still dubious about quality depth below his starting team. I thought the Reds (first) played well, Bryant said.
