Sunday Morning, September 3, 1961 31 422 HOWARD'S BIG NUMBERS Frank Howard has spent his entire coaching career at Clemson and is currently molding his 22nd team as Tiger boss. This'll be his 31st year at Clemson. He succeeded Jess Neely, now at Rice.

Fullback Ron Scrudato (center) and halfback Gary Barnes were the significant numbers among the 1961 Tigers. Richards OKs 3-Year Houston Deal HOUSTON, Tex. (P) Paul Richards, a major league field manager for the past 11 years, accepted terms Saturday to come the top front office man for Houston's 1962 National League baseball team. Richard's, released from his contract by the Baltimore Orioles Friday, told Craig Cullinan president of the Houston Sports Association (HSA), he would accept the three-year contract. Salary terms were not announced, but it has been reported Richards will draw at least $60,000 with a year.

He was making $50,000 Baltimore. Cullinan said Richards told him urgent personal business would keep him in Baltimore until Thursday or Friday, but Richards was eager to get to Houston and "get on with the job of building Houston's first major league club." Richards will name the Colts' field manage of the year-joined Baltimore in 1955 as a combination field manager general manager. After the 1958 season he ended his general manager duties.

Paul resigned April 27 to take a similar job at Cleveland. Twins Nipped By Bosox, 2-1 MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (AP) -Bill Monbouquette, with ninth inning from Arnold Early, pitched the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins Saturday. Monbouquette was sailing with an eight-hitter until the Twins put two men on base in the final frame. Earley then got pinch hitter Ted Lepcio to hit into a 11th play to preserve 12 Monbouquette's defeats victory against Don Lee (3-5) was the loser.

Carl Yastrzemski also had hand in the win, making a leaping grab of Billy Martin's bid for a fifth inning home run with two on.

Here at State, All-America quarterback Roman Gabriel exhibited his usual accuracy as the Wolfpack went through a passing drill. Senior end Johnny Morthe team's leading receiver last year, was a favorite target in the extensive workout.

A lengthy drill on pass defense was directed by Assistant Coach Al Michaels, with Tom Dellinger, only returnee from the deep secondary defensive alignment of last year, standing out. Mike Clark, Carson Bosher, Jim Rossi Joe Scarpati worked out as the coaching staff groomed replacements for graduated Claude Gibson and Jack Stanton. At Carolina a long round of wind sprints featured conditioning work. Kicking, running them and passing drills also were held. A junior guard, Benton McMillan of Wilson, bruised a knee and was unable to work out.

At Duke the morning session featured punt protection and passing drills with Randy Clark and Dean Wright kicking and quarterbacks Walt Rappold, Gil Garner, Jerry Stoltz and Jay Wilkinson throwing. At Wake Forest the Deacs concentrated upon timing, both offense and defense. Two candidates, letterman guard Badoud and end Ed Leinss, ed in light equipment due to slight injuries. Guard Ed Pitoniak, who reported with a knee injury, was on the sidelines for the second straight day. Chisox Clobber Senators, 12-7 WASHINGTON -The Chi cago White Sox, mixing a batch of singles with the wildness of enemy pitchers, pushed across eight runs in the first two innings Saturday and coasted to a 12-7 victory over the Washington Senators.

DAY NIGHT REMIND OTHERS TO KEEP HOLIDAY HIGHWAYS SAFE LABOR DAY Americans Win Cup In Rout SEATTLE (P) America's feat handed the British in 1928 zor-sharp amateur golfers renewed their lease on the 1 Walker Cup for another two years Saturday by polishing off the British, 11 matches to 1, in a record equaling rout. To Charles Coe, Oklahoma City oil broker and non-playing captain of the American side four years ago, went the distinction of clinching the victory, the eighth straight for the United States since the British won their only title in 1 1938. Coe stormed home a 5 and winner over Mike Lunt, 26-yearold textile distributor. Prior to Coe's triumph, Deane Beman of Arlington, had registered a 3 and 2 conquest of Mike Bonnallack in a battle, of national champions, Bill Hyndman of Philadelphia crushed Dave Frame, 7 and 6.

Those three triumphs plus the clean sweep by the Americans in Friday's foursomes, meant that the Americans had posted their 17th victory in 18 outings of this biennial golf outing. The rout equalled the 11-1 de- yer, halfback Billy Gambrell and quarterback Tommy Pilcher got off booming boots. In the second session of the day Bass ordered the red shirts to "throw those pads aside and earn your biscuits," and switched from a dummy scrimmage to the real thing Maryland's Terps apparently reported in good condition. No player seemed bothered by the 90-degree heat during a 30-minute contact scrimmage. In Nationals Play Seixas Sharp In Win FOREST HILLS, N.

Y. (AP)Seixas, 38 but as lean and hard as when he was king of Wimbledon eight years ago, excited a second day gallery with a sparkling center court victory Saturday in the National Tennis Championships. Raising the chalk of the corners with his spinning forehand and bouncing around like a teenager, the Philadelphia stock broker polished off Dennis Lynch of Rumson, N. 7-5, 6-4, 6-0. Instead of wilting in the 90- degree plus temperature as be expected, Seixas grew stronger and his young opponent weakened as the match progressed.

Chris Crawford of Piedmont, the 22-year-old killer of international tennis, also made his tournament debut a brief and impressive one by knocking out John Mangan of Yonkers, N. 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. Tennis buffs at the West Side Club still recall when Chris, as a boy of 20, erased Gardnar Mulloy, Bob Mark and Barry MacKay in a successive sweep of upsets here two years ago. Crawford also shocked Italy's great star, Nicola Pietrangeli, this year at Wimbledon. The tournament's two top favorlites of the men's division, Wimbledon champion Rod Laver of Australia and Chuck McKinley of St.

Ann, both had spectator roles preparatory to second round engagements Sunday. ra-although rivals the Americans shut out. their in 1936, 9-0, with three matches halved. Only Martin Christmas. the youngest member of the British team at 21 and rated their greatest amateur prospect since World War II, was able to stem the American tide.

He triumphed over Charles Smith of Gastonia, N. 3 and 2. Christmas closed out the match when Smith drove into the lake on the third hole, then sent his third into a trap. Results of Saturday's singles in the Walker Cup matches: Beman, Arlington, defeated Mike Bonallack, Britain. 3 and 2.

Palmer Has 3-Shot Lead DALLAS, Tex. (-Golf's great winner Arnold Palmer made like the broken record again Saturday -he shot a 1-under-par 69 to take over the 36-hole lead by three strokes in the $30,000 Dallas Open. The scourge of the links tour was disgusted with his putting but pleased with his score of 136 that pulled him away from the two tied with him for the first round lead -Earl Stewart, the host pro, and Johnny Pott, the defending champion. Stewart, who also complained of poor putting, and Pott, who ruined his round with a double bogey on a finishing hole had 72 to drop into a tie for second at 139. Stewart was far off his Friday form when he used only 23 putts.

There was trouble aplenty over the windswept Oak Cliff Country Club course as heralded players like Player, the year's leading money and Doug Sanders lost ground rapidly.

Mrs. The son Katherine of Saggy, Price owned by of Miami and trained by her husband Jack, won just as he did in the Kentucky Derby, and Preakness. It was nerve tingling battle for the 34,168 fans but Carry Back got up in time for a head decision over Garwol from the Harbor View Farm.

Farm's Beau Prince was a close third. Carry Back was timed in 1:36 and paid $5.90, $4.70, and $2.80. Garwol returned $14.70 and $6.90, and Beau Prince $2.80. Net Notes West Is East's Player of Year By GRADY ELMORE. Another meeting of the ECTCA (Eastern Carolina Tennis Columnist's Association) has been held, with the Recognition Committee Chairman taking up most of the time.

A number of individuals gained extra special commendations for their performances that made most interesting a season that began with prospects dimmed by the sidelining, due to injury, of Chapel Hill's Charlie Shaffer Jr. and the decision of Dell Sylvia not to compete in Eastern Carolina play because of an opportunity to teach at Asheville's Biltmore Forest Country Club. Dr. Fred West, Raleigh minsiter who made an auspicious debut in Southern and State senior (age 45 and over) play, earned Eastern Carolina "player of the year" tributes edging out another local ace, Semi Mintz. West capped his standout season by winning the State senior singles championship at Greensboro last Sunday, in his first try.

State titles in any division of the N. C. Closed tourney have been rare indeed for Eastern Carolina players, and West's crown is the first in many years in singles for an Easterner if not ever. The shrewd-playing preacher also won another Eastern Carolina Closed senior singles title the started winning those earlier since age 40 is the Eastern Carolina Tennis Association's lower limit of eligibility for seniors.) In Southern senior singles competition West fared well his "freshman" season, scoring one big Wilson Star And Reidell Top CL Poll WILSON (UPI) Greensboro's Yankees placed five players on the 15-man official All-Carolina League team of 1961.

Raleigh was the only club not represented. The all-league team roster was announced Saturday by President Bill Jessup. The team was chosen by sportswriters, sportscasters and field managers. Only two players, Greensboro first baseman Chuck Reidell and Wilson outfielder-catcher Chuck Weatherspoon, were unanimously selected.

One of the closest races was at shortstop where Wilson's Orlando Martinez edged Greensboro's Ron Retton by a single vote, 10-9. Retton had 10 votes as utility infielder and earned this position on the team.
