30 THE TROY RECORD, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1957 Cancellations Surprise Hill Coaches Spartans Replace Sooners Atop AP Poll; Notre Dame Eighth By BOB KUSCO Apparently the RI'I athletic department was taken completely by surprise yesterday afternoon with the announcement that all athletic events for the weekend have been canceled, because, of the increased incidence of flu among students. The surprise arose, understandably, because the three squads affected, football, soccer and cross-country, have been virtually untouched by.the disease. Following a meeting of the Institute president, RPI and county health officials, the public relations office was told, "everything's oR. Health officials recommend we call off everything in order to hold down the crowds." Thus, Saturday's football and soccer games, and the cross Braves' Series Cuts Nearly ,000 Each; Yanks Get $5, New York (AP)--Thirty members of the Milwaukee Braves will receive $8,924.36 each toppling the New York Yankees in the 1957 World Series.

Twenty-nine years ago when McCarthy managed the Chicago 2ubs, Edward Coyle of St. Louis vrote McCarthy asking for an autographed baseball.

McCarthy replied in a letter he would supply the baseball on his next trip St. Louis. But he didn't. The McCarthy letter containing the promise turned up recently in the Coyle household. It sent, in the way of a reminder, to the retired baseball manager at his home in Tonawanda, N.

MO--Groundkeepers. Reynolds Case Is Settled Out Of Court Philadelphia (AP) Former New York pitcher Allie Reynolds and the Philadelphia Transportation Co. have settled the ballplayer's $235,000 damage suit out of court. Joseph S. Lord, Reynolds' attorney, said the settlement was reached late Monday after Reynolds had testified a back injury sustained in a bus accident shortened his playing career.

The amount of the out-of-court settlement was not announced, but Atty. Lord said the PTC agreed to pay "a considerable amount." The transit firm declined immediate comment. Reynolds, a resident of Oklahoma City, said the back injury, sustained July 7, a chartered PTC bus was carrying the Yankee baseball team crashed into a metal elevated train structure. Lord said the injury forced Reynol'ds--who hurled two no- hit games in his major league career--to retire at the end of the 1954 season. A PTC attorney told the court the company admitted responsibility for the accident but insisted Reynolds was past his baseball peak when the mishap occurred.

Betty Marvin Neitzel Pettignelli 477, Olive El Wood 211, Also canceled Is a freshman football game scheduled for Sat urday at Rochester. The soccer squad had no one, as.of last with the flu. Football Coach Dick Lyon re ported he dismissed three boys a 'lilile early" last night, when they became ill, but there was no definite indication that they had lu. The cross-country squad is ikewise uncontaminated.

However, the freshman football has a number. of players Jcddcd down, apparently with the flu. Thetdisease, thus far, has struck the freshman class with a much higher incidence. Uppermost in each coach's mind last 'night was the possibility of re-scheduling Saturday's games. Athletic Director Paul S.

Graham' said, "I have not had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Ketz (William Ketz, Union College athletic director), as to re-scheduling." Graham indicated he would attempt to re-schedule the contests, if at all possible. Two other possibilities still re main open. The games could.be transferred to the Union campus, if that college is willing to buck the flu threat. That appears unlikely, however, since RPI has asked all students to remain on campus this weekend.

The other alternative is to conduct games closed to the public, Since the purpose of the cancela- tions was to hold down the crowds, and since the three varsity squads have escaped the bug, games played "in private" would not notably aid in spreading the disease. As one RPI coach said last night, "I can see calling, off the dances and social activities, but think the games should go on. After all, the athletes are able play and they're not going to be out there dancing' cheek to cheek."

(AP)--The University of Miami's hopes for winning basketball season were jolted yesterday when Dick Berghoff, 7-foot sophomore center, and two other outstanding prospects jumped the team: Berghoff, who said he had decided Miami "is not a good basketball school," left by car for Santa Maria, where he planned to enroll in Allen Hancock Junior College.

By THE-ASSOCIATED PRESS Michigan State University moved Into the top spot in the Associated Press collegiate foothill poll this week and Coach Duffy Daugherty commented: "We're naturally flattered by this wonderful vote of confidence from the nation's sports experts. But I remember the last time we wcra up there we had a real short in Michigan State nosed Oklahoma out of the No, 1 spot just-about a year ago after walloping Notre Dame, 47-14. Bui the very next week the Sooners blanked the Irish, 40-0, and bounced back up again while Michigan State was being upset 20-13 by Illinois.

This time the Spartans ousted the Sooners on the. strength of a 35-8 clubbing of rival Michigan. The nation's sports writers and Sub Webb Ready For LaBua Louisville, Ky. (AP)--Spider Webb, a last minute substitute for Tiger Jones, will be in top condition tonight when he tangles with Jackie LaBua in a ID- round fight at Freedom Hall. That word was passed along yesterday by Webb's trainer, Carl Nelson, shortly after they arrived from Chicago for the televised fight.

It will be blacked out in this area. "My boy hasn't fought since he whipped Charley Joseph in Chicago about two months ago," Nelson said he's a clean liver, the kind who always stays in shape." The trainer said Webb should weigh about 159-160 for the fight nd that's his best lighting weight." Now ranked sixth among the middleweights, Webb has lost only two of 25 fights. Twelve of his victims were knocked out. LaBua, who will be 25 nexT month, has had 39 fights, winning 28. The Brooklyn scrapper has been stopped once--on a TKO by Bill McNeece in 1954.

He's riding a three-fight winning streak after losing four in a row last year. Webb was brought in as a sub for Jones after he pulled a leg ligament in training. Moore Ready For Spieser Detroit (AP)--Light Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore, and his co-managers Charlie Johnston and Doc Kearns, agreed yesterday on contract terms for alltie defense Chuck Spieser of Detroit in January.

23. Abe Kotzen of the Board of Control said the commission received a telegram from Moore and Johnston yesterday accepting the $100,000 offer for the fight. Kearns was present at yesterday's meeting. 'As far as we are concerned, the telegram is a binding contract and Archie will make his next title defense here," Kotzen told newsmen. Trinity, Colby Game Canceled Hartford, Conn.

(AP)--Trinity College President Albert C. Jacobs yesterday announced "with deepest regret" that It had become necessary to cancel Saturday's football game here with Colby because so many members of the squad have influenza. He said that nine' members Af its squad had the flu; five of them members of the first team, and added: "It would have been impossible," to field a full team. Despite the absence of i game, Trinity planned to go ahead with Its plans for its fourth annual Parents' Day next -Saturday, a get-together of parents and students.

"I hope our squad accepts thll as a challenge rather than an ac- cpmplihed fact," Daugherty added. "A vote in the poll doesn't add a point on a Saturday and we have a long, rough scbeduit still ahead us. It's far more important to be No. 1 at the end of the season." Oklahoma will be gunning next for Kansas, a team with only victory in four starts. Michigan State takes on defeated in the first three contests.
