Tiniest Yankee of Them All Overpowers Pirates Whitey Coasts By 10-0 Richardson Clouts Slam New York Little Bobby Richardson, the est Yankee of them all, drove in a record 6 runs and bombed the Pittsburgh Pirates into quick submission Saturday as New American League champs walloped away for a 10-0 victory and a 2-1 lead in the World Series. With stubby southpaw Whitey Ford allowing just 4 hits for his first shutout and 6th triumph in a record 13 series starts, the Yanks picked up where they left off in Pittsburgh as the best-of-7 playoff switched to Yankee Stadium. Play continues at Yankees Stadium today and odds are 8-5 that the New Yorkers make it 3 straight over the Bucs. Vernon Law, the first game winner 6-4, has drawn pitching assignment while the Yankees will counter with right-hander Ralph Terry (10-8). After rolling up a record rout, 16-3, in the second game at Forbes Field, the Yankees struck for 6 runs in the first inning with 4 Rain Likely New York (UPI) The Weather forecast for the 4th game of the World Series today is not promising.

The New York weather bureau predicts cloudiness with a chance of rain during the latter part of the The temperature will be in the mid loping home on first grand-slam home run ever. Then they counted 4 in the fourth to put it away. Two of those came in on Mickey 3rd home run in two games, a 430-foot shot into the lower left field stands that put him one back of Babe record series total of 15. Although Mantle, a switch hitter who has blasted off batting right-handed, also tied a series record with 4 hits and closed in on record, the Ruths, the igs and the Mantles never achieved what Richardson did. And that goes for the slam as well as the RBI.

Little Bobby is the 7th to hit a bases-loaded home run in the World Series. But none of the others did it in vast Yankee Stadium. In his 6 seasons in the majors, the 5-foot-9 second baseman has hit only 3 home runs. a hitter, the kind of little guy manager Casey Stengel likes laying down bunts, moving the runners. Fact is, when he came up against reliever Clem Labine with the bases loaded Saturday, he was supposed to lay down a bunt.

The lop-sided triumph evened season record at two wins and two losses.

The Thunderbolts smelled victory from the opening kickoff and from then on, it was only a matter of how big a score they could run up against a lighter, inferior Bonnie team. Pius ran up 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, with Larry Arth scoring two of them on runs of 71 and 48 yards. Larry Rice, who played his first game of the season after being sidelined with a broken finger, opened the scoring with a 7-yard sprint, climaxing a 72-yard march. Dale Travnicek took an 8- yard pass from Dick Kmght in the second quarter to up the margin to 26-0 before easing off enough for the Bonnies to score one of their own. Bill Backes went over from the two.

Arth got his 3rd touchdown in the 3rd period, going a comparative near 20. Rice got another one in the 4th period, barreling his way for 22 yards. Tom Neal got into the scoring act with a 2-yard plunge. I St. Bonaventure was thenj allowed to score seconds be-j fore the game ended i John Torczon went over from two yards out.

By Don Bryant Nebraska unveiled a long- camouflaged secret weapon at Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon and pulled out a 17-7 victory over Kansas State before 38,000 Band Day fans who could hardly stay awake until the colorful halftime show.

It until midway in the 3rd quarter that coach Bill Jennings pulled the wraps off Bennie Dillard, Mt. Pleasant, sprinter who w'as to be the difference. Most Nebraska fans had forgotten about Bennie, who helped beat Kansas State 14-7 in only game NU won that the Wildcats were just as surprised when he appeared. Dillard, who returned to school last spring after a two- year layoff, appeared in any of earlier 3 games. And he see a lot of action against Kansas 3 plays, to be exact.

But the little 167-pund speedster wound up with 43 yards and two touchdowns for his brief labor, in addition to setting up a Ron Meade field goal in the 3rd period. It was a rag-tag, error- packed contest most of the way, with both teams kiclpng away several scoring opportunities. strategists in both camps no doubt had convulsions on a couple of occasions. The first-half was a gasser of the first order which left the witnesses wondering If either team had ever seen a football before. With head coach Doug Weaver hospitalized in Manhattan, the Wildcats staged a spirited battle until Dillard appeared, and drop out of victory range untill the final seconds.

It took Bolting Bennie to inject interest in the 3rd quarter, after the Huskers and Wildcats dragged to a scoreless tie in the first two periods. Midway in the quarter, Dillard made his re-debut on the first play after the Huskers received a Ron Blaylock punt the NU 44. Bennie took a pitchout from juarterback Pat Fischer, tore iround his own right flank and skipped 34 yards before Wildcat John i knocked him out of bounds on the KS-22. Even with this une.xpected morale-lifter, the Huskers generate any scoring punch, winding up on the Wildcat 20 after 3 plays. So they turned to Meade, who had missed a 58-yard field goal in the second quarter (Nebraska apparently using the field goal instead of a punt.) But the steady a junior miss from the KS 27 and came through with a 37-yard boot.

What came next must be described as an early Christmas for the Cornhuskers. With a 4th down and 11 on the K-State 24, Blaylock XfTT i.ur iav4 ntiu last at Manhattan dropped back to punt. After receiving the snap perhaps influenced by a heavy Husker rush the flinger suddenly took off at a dead run toward the west sidelines. Nebraska left guard Tyrone Robertson nailed him on the KS 23 and the Huskers were in business. Fischer gained 19 yards on two keeps, setting up a first down on the 4.

In trotted Dillard for his second appearance and the 5-7 swiftie neatly threaded his way through a hole on the right side of his line to score. When Meade kicked the point, the 10-0 lead looked comfortable, if not commendable. But tension resumed shortly after the 4th period opened when Clay White fumbled on the NU 25 and A1 Kouneski, Continued on Page 8D, Col. 3. Iowa 27.
