Jimmy Foxx Talk and Awards Presentations Prove Major Hits at Babe Ruth Banquet IQlK ItJh 11 11 nn i A THE ULUDIUM-T1MES Miiu 14, UN RY. 9 Babe Ruth Baseball League wound up 1960 activities in fitting style Saturday even- Ing, as members of the league, their coaches and players and other guests gathered for the third annual banquet, held at Lakeside Dining Hall, Oswego State College of Education. Jimmy Foxx, who enjoyed a fabulous career as a slugger with the old Philadelphia Athletics of the American proved a splendid and made a big hit with both young and older fans, as he recounted numerous experiences of the past. Sharing the spotlight were the two championship teams, including the Lions Club, winner of the regular season title and the Masonic Club, which captured the post-season tournament crown, In all, approximately 200 guests were on hand and the gathering a another milestone in the growing history of outstanding sports celebrities to visit this city. Foxx, chosen to Baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown In 1951, was one of the most popular players ever to enjoy a major league career, as well as one of the greatest sluggers in all baseball history- regular season competition still stands second only to the late Babe Ruth's 714, but the apple-cheeked idol of his era retired from the big time In 1945, after a 21-year span, with a gaudy ,325 lifetime batting average.

Foxx spoke only briefly, but considerable time in response to questions advanced by both young and adult listeners and, during this period, voiced surprise when informed Angelo (Lupe) DMiero, Babe Ruth Baseball League president, that his .990 field- Ing average was second among first baseman only to the immortal Lou Gehrig, the onetime Iron Horse of the New York Yankees and Ruth's tarn- mate for many campaigns. During the panel discussions, Foxx referred to Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Ty Cobb and Stan Muslal as among tht all-time great power hitters, while Rogers Hornsby probably rates as the top individual hitter for average. Baptized James Emory Foxx, the popular initial a guardian was known as the Maryland Strong Boy during his major league career, nine years of which were spent with Connie Mack's Athletics. In 1936, Foxx was about the last of the big name stars, whom Mack was forced to dispose of in order to meet heavy financial obligations, caused partly by the excessive payroll required to pay for the services of Lefty Mickey Cochrane, Bing Miller, Oorge Earnshaw, Jot Boley, Max Bishop, Rube Walerg and others. Foxx was to the Boston Red Sox and continued his prodigious until peddled to the Chicago Cubs of the National League in 1942.

Foxx retired after participating in 89 games for the Philadelphia Phillies of the National League in 1945. His overall major league totals show 2,317 games, 8,134 at-bats, 1,751 runs, 2,646 hits, 458 doubles, 125 triples and, as stated earlier, 534 roundtrip- pers. His productive hitting accounted for 1,921 runs-batted-in and led to the .325 figure listed. Foxx, in addition, owns a .344 mark for three World Series, 1929-31, and a .316 average for seven All-Star games. He was a boy.

Robiman Honored Kyle Robinson, Oswego High athlete and a member of the championship Masonic Club squad, was presented the Louisville Slugger batting certificate for having compiled the highest mark among all league personnel. Robinson, who clubbed a .405 average, accepted the award from president DiMiero. The Masons were coached by Bill Himple and Gib "Whitman, while the Lions Club aggregation was handled by Eddie Tifft, Jackie Dashner and Bud Converse. Tifft presented members of his team with miniature trophies and DiMiero presented the league's championship trophies to the Masons and Lions. James C.

Guinta, president of the Lions Club, welcomed the viiitors and Alderman Charles E. Gallagher represented Mayor Ralph Shapiro, who was unable to attend. Co-chairmen were Attorney James P. McGrath of the Lions and Tifft, who handled arrangements for the Hot Stovers. Missouri Steps Into Spotlight On College Grids (By The Associated Press) What's ahead for those surprising Missouri Tigers? Maybe top national ranking, the Big Eight championship, the Orange Bowl, a perfect season--or disaster this week at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks.

Each is a possibility and the way heads are rolling among the top teams lately, the latter could almost be labled a probability. Latest case in point: Minnesota, a 23-14 loser to Purdue Saturday after its amazing football resurgence earned it the top spot a week ago in The Associated Press poll, and had everyone talking Big Ten title, Rose Bowl, undefeated season and national championship. Now Missouri, which soundly laced Oklahoma 41-19 over the weekend, faces a similar situation. With the Tigers it is an all-or-nothing proposition. ra Currently ranked second with His 514 home runs in an 8-0 record, they seem almost certain to be the JNO.

J. team in this week's poll. Kansas, which ironically has lost its only to teams ranked No. 1 at the time (Syracuse and Iowa), is banned from post-season play by the NCAA. But the Jayhawks, which walloped Colorado 34-6 Saturday, have a 5-0-1 Big Eight record compared to Missouri's 6-0.

To the winner go the conference spoils, and Miz- zou also gets a choice bowl spot, probably the Orange Bowl. Minnesota, while wounded, is "not dead yet. The Gophers can still get a piece of the Big Ten title--and perhaps the nod to go to the Rose Bowl--by beating Wisconsin this week. Iowa ranked fifth, is assured of part of the conference crown after it demolished Ohio State (No. 3) 35-12.

Iowa winds up its 1960 campaign this week against outsider Notre Dame (1-7). A Minnesota victory would match Iowa's 5-1 conference mark. But the Gophers 27-10 win a week ago over Iowa puts them the fore if any bowl possibilities rise. If the Rose Bowl is the place for the Gophers, then they can look forward to meeting Washington, which clinched its second straight Big Five title by beating California 27-7. The sixth-ranked Huskies beat Wisconsin 44-S in the last Rose BowL Also very much alive in the Southeastern Conference, not to mention the national picture, is Mississippi, fourth- ranked a week ago.

Ole Miss soundly laced Tennessee 24-3 and can clinch the SEC title and a spot to defend its Sugar Bowl title by defeating Mississippi State this weekend. ALso ready to go a-bowlin', perhaps one exception, are the other four teams in the select top ten. The exception is eighth-ranked Navy, which must beat Army Nov. 26 before it is free to accept any post-season bids. The Middies (8-1) ran Virginia's losing string to 25 with a 41-6 victory.

Duke (No. 7), which clinched at least a tie for the Atlantic Coast Conference title by beating Wake Forest 34-7, is prominently mentioned for the other spot in the Orange Bowl. The Blue Devils play traditional rival North Carolina Saturday to wind up conference play and a win, or loss by second-place N. C. State, gets the title.

Arkansas (No. 9) needs only to beat Texas Tech this weekend to nail down at least part of the Southwest Conference crown. The Razorbacks have a 5-1 mark after beating winless Southern Methodist 26-3. Second-place Rice- must beat Texas Christian this week, then Baylor if it hopes to gain a tie for conference honors. Auburn, ranked tenth, once more relied on Ed Dyas' trusty toe for three field goals in a 9-6 victory over Georgia.

Dyas now has 12 for the season and 26 for his career, both national records. Auburn and Florida (5-1) are tied for second. In the SEC Florida finished league play with a 21-6 victory over Tulane and received a bid to the Gator Bowl. It will decide after game with Miami Nov. 26.

There unfinished businesa elsewhere this weekend. Yale can cop the Ivy League crown and its first unbeaten seaaon since 1910 by beating Harvard. The Elis crushed title with a 43-22 drubbing to run their record to 8-0, Glenn Williams, Syracuse and 6-0 in the Ivy. Assemblyman a F. Crawford, Jr.

Blood streaming down his face from gouges on the nose, lips a eyebrows, Johnny whipped a 39-yard touchdown strike to Lenny Moore with 42 seconds left Sunday as the Colts edged the Chicago Bears 24-20 and retained their hold on first place in the Western Division. Unitas, a poised 27-year-old veteran of five pro campaigns, had one of his finest moments in the key clash that kept the two-time NFL champions a half-game in front of Green Bay.

Constantly hounded by a rough and rugged Chicago defense, Unitas marched the Colts goalward with the Bears leading 20-17 and time running out With 1:29 remaining, the drive had reached the 35, but Unitas was smashed to the ground while attempting to pass. He rose with blood dripping from multiple cuts. After he was again spilled. Unitas went to the sidelines on a time out to have the crimson smears wiped from his face. Back he came with the clock showing 42 seconds to go and Baltimore faced with a.

fourth and 14 situation. Unitas, took the snap, faded, pumped twice and then threw an aerial that Moore caught in the far corner of the end zone after eluding defender J. C. Caroline. While the Colts had to battle for a last minute triumph, the Packers kept pace with an easy 41-7 pasting of winless Dallas.

Philadelphia kept its edge over Xew York in the Eastern Division race by beating Washington 19-13 while the Giants nipped Pittsburgh 27-24 Cleveland stayed close in the East with a 28-27 victory over St. Louis and Detroit defeated Los Angeles 12-10. San Francisco had a bye. Unitas, who previously had tossed a 36-yard scoring pass to Moore in the see-saw struggle with the Bears (3-3-1), said he was hit cleanly by Bear end Doug Atkins on the play that bloodied his face. "Kg got me with his shoulder and forearm," said Unitas.

"It was a clean hit" Two one-yard TD smashes by Rick Casares kept the Bears in front until Unitas unleashed his first scoring pitch to Moore for a 17-14 halftone edge. Taylor, Hornung Star Jim Taylor ran 28, 4 and 23 yards for touchdowns and Paul Hornung scored 17 points on a 41-yard scoring plunge, a pair of 21-yard field goals and five conversions in the Green Bay (5-2) rout or the Cowboys (08). Green Bay plays Los Angeles this Sunday and has a chance to tie the Colts, who draw a bye, for the Western lead. The Eagles, who tackle the Giants the next two weeks in showdown clashes that may decide the Eastern champion, came from behind to beat the Redskins (1-4-2) in the final quarter on a 28-yard pass from Norm Van Brocklin to Bobby Waist on. Pat Summerall booted 37- yard field goal with 30 seconds left for the Giants (5-1-1) uphill triumph -over the Steelers (2-5-1) after his 42-yard three- pointer and a 27-yard Charley Conerly to a Gilford touchdown pass had brought New York within range.

Bobby Layrie triggered the Pittsburgh offensive with a 17-yard scoring flip to Buddy Dial, a one- yard TD plunge and a field goal. Jimmy Brown bucked short yardage for; two touchdowns and picked up 173 yards in 28 carries while Milt Plum passed for two scores in the-Browns (4-4). Jim Martin's 13-yard field goal proved the winning margin for the Lions (3-4), who broke a 3-3 tie with the Rams (2-5-1) in the third period on a 98-yard drive engineered by quarterback Jim Ninowski. Chargers On Top The Los Angeles Chargers, leading the Western Division in the American Football League, solidified their hold on the top spot by beating Houston's Eastern pacesetters a game that may be replayed for tiie circuit's championship later in the season. The Chargers boosted their record to 6-3--the same as the Oilers--by edging Houston 2421 Sunday for a one-game edge over the runner-up Dallas Texans.

The Texans hopped over Denver into second place by whipping the Broncos 34-7 while Oakland upended the Buffalo Bills 20-7 in the other games on the AFL program. Yelas Stars In Final Grid Tilt CLEVELAND, O. Hobart scored on the first play of the game and then held on doggedly to defeat favored John Carroll University, 7-6, yesterday at Cleveland Heights High School Stadium. On the first play of the game Joe Yelas, Oswego resident and one of the all-time great passers at Hobart, whizzed one through the air for 52 yards into the waiting Bill Maroon, who raced the short distance to cross the goal standing up. What proved to be the all- important extra point went through the uprights off the toe of John Willson, Phelps junior.

But that was it for Coach Ed Tryon's warriors, who hung on for dear life as the locals pounded the Hobart defense. Early in the second quarter, John Carroll erupted for Its sole touchdown on a 20-yard pass from quarterback Jerry O'Malley to Joe Lutke. In a try for two points, coach John Ray's charges chose to gamble, but they ran into a stone wall as the Tryonmen held. As anticipated, neither team was able to move much on ground and a passing duel between Yelas and O'Malley found a receiver on 10 of 26 aerials. Besides the touchdown pass, Yelas sent two long ones to Jim Upper, good for 38 and 26 yards, respectively.

Record Turnout Sunday for Golf Turkey Shoot' Favored with near late fall weather, the annual "turkey shoot" at the Oswego Club Sunday drew a record entry of 57 golfers. Included in the field were Tony Torba, pro at Battle Island Park, assistant 'pros from Tecumseh and Tuscarora courses in Syracuse and John (Whitey) Lisk', pro at the host club. Lisk tied for third in low gross, but graciously declined to take one of the 14 turkeys which were awarded, along with a dozen golf balls. The course was in excellent shape, with the greens, freshly cut for the event, being lightning fast. Four were given for low gross scores.

Ed Lisk was first, with a one-over-par 71. Joe Ciesla was runnerup with 71, with Ted Lisk, Carl Miller Sr. and John Lisk tying for third with 72s. Ted Lisk garnered a turkey with an eagle two on the eighth hole. After belting a long drive he sank his wedge approach.

For low net scores, 10 turkeys were given, seven in Group I. In this division 1 Stanley Osetek and Bruce Sarnmut each had 69s, with Bill Willis having 70 and Joe Osetek and Chuck Whelley each having 71s. A six-way tie developed among players having nets of 72 and on a cut of cards Bob Murchie and Evans Minelli won the turkeys. Others who tied at this score were Clark Morrison 3rd, Hosmer Culkin, Bart Pupparo and Don Christian. Pat Kelly and Andy Lowden in Group 2 and Dave McFarlane in Group 3 also won Thanksgiving birds.

With home-and-home dates slated with all eight league opponents, the Bucs had only dates to fill, in order to stay within the 18-game limit. One of these vacancies has been filled by Watertown. but Friday, Jan.

27, remains open tentatively and will probably be filled in the near future. Admittance of Oswego and Fulton into the county circuit is certain to accelerate interest among all leaene members, but. by entering the league, both cities had to terminate longtime rivalries with other schools. The Bucs, for instance, have had to cancel their relations with Auburn High, one of the most respected of all OHS athletic squads. Faculty Manager of Athletics Frank C.
