CASEY Plain rubbish too much work to be done for me to think of quitting GEORGE This is a bare faced lie and you can make it as strong as you like We gotte around to discussing a new contract yet I expect Casey to be with us again He has been a great manager jplay or no and decide 1'like to get the quarterback out and sit him down and tell him what I want him to do We I put the phones on him and Hank has a talk with him too This is most important because we want to get him set for when he goes back In the game Then at the half although usually 20 minutes we generally have only about seven minutes to work with the squad The rea son the time is so short is be cause Strain and Witucki come down from their perches and 'huddle with me for fixe or six minutes before we give the in 'formation to the squad JIM SABER SETS SEASON MARK IN HARRIERSERIES Jim Saber today was the first cross country runner in the Msgr Martin Catholic High School series to be clocked under 15 minutes this season

When you watch a sharp football team perform either from the stands or on television 1'11 bet you Rive much thought to the preparation that goes into the finished product That's what like to tell you

could be It has the principle ingredient a take charge defenseman named Ivan Irwin He a great skater but he knows how to block shots how to crunch opposing for wards in the corners how to lug that puck up the ice when he has to and tough enough to com mand respect hard to think of a really good hockey team that been knit together by an offensive de fenseman The Bisons won their first American League title with a smart "policeman" and leader on I the backline in rank Beisler Roger Leger was the driving force behind those good Buffalo Then we study the personal' retary Roger Viildisieii He's box phones on the sidelines Hi scouting report and view some al my side in the planning ses job mainly is to keep tab on our of the films of our next opponent Usually the entire operation takes seven or eight hours Coaches Assemble at 8:36 AM Monday morning usually around 8:30 the coaches assem ble at the conference table and we plan exactly what we want to do We try to anticipate what changes our opponent is likely to come up with and at the same itime detail our plans so our offense and defense are flexible Did NL Lions Trade Layne Because of eud With Coach? it I GEORGE WEISS DEL WEBB Have They Joined orces Against Case? I 4 I A defenseman was the inspiration for Tommy Ivan's great teams at Detroit Tommy used to say: lay awake nights wondering how 1 could manage if I ever lost Red Kelly I knew I had Terry Sawchuck Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay but it was Kelly I worried about He made us rank Selke of the Montreal Canadiens agrees say ing: know we can win without the Rocket (Richard) because we have when he was hurt And we slowed down when (Jean) Beliveau nr (Boom bonm) Geoffrion were out But we always lose ground when Doug Harvey isn't at If you had to pick a goat in the World Series thcre'd be only one legitimate candidate from the winning team Norm Siebern who did an Alphonse and Gaston act all by himself as he pursued fly balls all over left field with comic opera vigor and Little League results Excuses for his wretched play pivoted chiefly on the claim that "left field in Yankee Stadium is the toughest sun field in baseball" Well maybe it is But Norm had been playing out there all season He should have known and mas tered its unique problems by Oc tober them Quit a Winner Tt wat rnmrnnn among Stengel's neighbors from Glendale Calif who lived with the team at Lake resort the motel where the Yankees stopped here that Casey said' this was the most miserable sea son he has ever spent in base ball "Casey would never think of quitting if he said one of Stengel's Glendale friends "He wants to quit a winner I be surprised if he quit but this was the sweetest victory he ever won He figures that he beat his bosses He did it his way and won" Baseball men who are acquainted with the develop ments of this well kept secret believe that Weiss resents the publicity his manager gets It is not vanity that produces Weiss' a titude He Overshadows the Yanks He is a shy man who ducks public acclaim but he is a strict organization man who believes that the baseball team should be sold and not the manager "They're afraid of public re said one of my sources "so they'll never fire him but 1 think they would like it if Casey quit They think he has gotten too big and is overshadowing the Yankee organization "He's too rich and independent for them They handle They will of course deny this Winning the World Series may straighten it out but if Stengel decides to go my sources insist he will be succeeded by Al Lopez who now manages the Chicago White Sox At least Lopez is candidate as Stengel was choice before he be gan to make those telephone calls in August on him The great manager haslWeiss questioned the formula one in the league could catch angrily rejected their sugges that has given btenget nine pen tions which he interpreted as the nants in ten years as a Yankee harassing interference of second guessers Dan Topping who is partner has maintained a dis creet neutrality but should a showdown develop he probably will side with Weiss and Webb Tactics Questioned The first arguments began when the Yankees fell into a pro longed slump last August They played slovenly ball and held onto their early lead only be cause no other club in the Amer ican League challenged their position The friction commenced when IVAN IRWIN teams in the mid 1940s And when the Bisons won the 1953 54 title rank Eddolls made the AHL All Star team and a young firebrand named Pierre Pilote was just beginning to achieve stardom I There were other colorful backline leaders a few who were just a little bit less than great hockey players but all possessed that certain takq charge quality that breathed confidence and fire into their teams Bob Blake Gordie Davidson Wide Mike McMahon Harry Dick and Art Lessard by gar skated backward to defend the goal and forward sticks and fists high ready to any foe who took liberties with anyone in Buffalo uniform DETROIT Oct 11 The Detroit Lions who make as much news off the field as on are in the headlines again This time a major topic around the National ootball League is whether Coach George Wilson and quarterback Bobby Layne reallv are as buddy

battle reached its climax before the Green Bay game which resulted in a 13 13 tie The story said that at a Sat urday night meeting in Green Bay there were heated words between coaches and players about strategy for the upcoming game The newspaper added that on the plane trip home Layne was critical of the way the club was run The trade was made Monday afternoon Both Layne and Wilson have denied the report Layne an nounced in Pittsburgh sick and tired of all this I'd like to know who wrote the story a pack of Wilson stated: nothing to noth ing at all Bobby and I always have been the

travel unless a Cali fornia team is involved Said Stengel: adds only another day of tension I think the days off helped us at all I was afraid lose our The fact is the off days hurt the Braves In two

ordered Eddie Mathews the strikeout king of the Series walked to fill the bases so his right hand pitchers could face the right hand batting Del Crandall Once he got Crandall on strikes once on a routine play The third time up with no body on base Crandall cracked! a home run you imagine the second guessihg that would 4 Casey Stengel refused to heap blame on the young man even though Siebern

tougn sun iieia tneory uui lis ten to this private opinion he expressed to a 16 year Series veteran from Buffalo: "Out there you gotta play the sun not the hatter 1 know I played out there You never put yourself in a direct line with the sun and home plate Sometimes you gotta move 25 feet out of position to get out of that line But you do it then face toward where you ought to be playing Then you stand there with your throwing hand on your sun glasses ready to flip down as soon as the hit been telling my fellers this for 5ome time now but nobody listens They just stand out there with their
