As a matter of fact, one might have expected yet another homer from the bat of Ted Williams, the Boston boy whose two-out, two-on blast won the All-Star game for the Americans in this same Briggs Stadium years ago.

Williams did hang a triple off the rlsht- center screen In the eighth, only to die on third as three colleagues collapsed against ithe offerings of Brooklyn's Don New- I combe, the third N.L. pitcher. But the closest he came to a homer was his keen observation of the three that went over his head in left field. On his triple, in fact, center fielder, Duke Snider, almost made upstairs, home and a smashing 8 to 3 verdict over the home team American league in the 18 th All-Star game.

In the second inning, meanwhile, the American leaguers assaulted Manager Eddie favorite starter, Phllly Robin Roberts, for the run that tied the score at 1 to 1. Berra singled, and with one out Ferris Fain, the Ath- showins first baseman, bounced a triple off the grandstand screen in right. Chico Car- rasquel, the White Sox shortstop, followed with a single to center, but Fain, fearing the ball would be caught, held up and then Ashburn threw him out when he fioglly broke for the plate.

Glassford was pouring over a squad roster. He is pleased that his squad, with one or two exceptions, are well over the eligibility hurdle.

As do at the drop of a hat, Bill was willinf to chat football He spoke of the squad changes, of how the offensive line must be rebuilt and of football in general. He said he hopes the football world rate his Huskers too high. give us a chance," asks the maestro. He has faith that the former fullbacks.

BY DON GILLEN (Kter Htmtr Writer) plan for ninth-grade mural football was Tuesday by the dissenting of two members of the Lincoln board of education. With only five board members present, negative ballots by Mrs.

Roscoe Hill and Dr. Zemer killed the measure for want a majority. At least four votes are needed for authorization. Member Robert Venner was absent, while President Elmer Magee, and members J. Lee Rankin and John Senning voted for the proposal.

COST ONLY $600 Original cost of equipment for the venture would have been borne by the athletic fund of Lincoln high school. The board of education would have only to hire a coach for each of two schools, Lincoln and Northeast. Dr. Steven Watkins, superintendent of schools, estimated the cost for both coaches at $600. Following the first year, however, the school board would have been responsible for keeping up equipment and repairing or replacing it as needed.

The program itself would have provided basic techniques and skills in tackling, passing, punting, etc. Team play would have been arranged with opposing squads of comparable weight, age and grade. A complete physical would be a prerequisite to entering the program and athletic insurance would be available at the expense. Dr. Zemer, in casting his ballot against the project, said: boys should have other things to do beside prepare for high school Mrs, vote was negative on the grounds the program was a one and as far as she could tell with the existing junior high school recreation program.

INJURIES FEARED Dr. Zemer insisted the incidence of injury would be far higher than the program would be worth. Dr. Watkins replied that it was, in fact, just the opposite. With squads of equal weight and age opposing each other, the matter of injury would be lessened, not increased.

J. Lee Rankin, in speaking for the measure, said: kids will get out and play in their backyard or some lot if you let them have this Rankin pointed out if that were the case, their chance of injury would be far greater than it would under a controlled supervised schedule. So the ninth graders of Lincoln will have to continue playing football with no equipment in a vacant a generous and worthwhile offer of the Lincoln schools has been turned down by the Lincoln board of education.
