ports Today Section SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23, I960 Si Si AS OF TODAY By Lyall Smith Offer Paid the Moom, Tigers i Richard I AM NOT JOHN E. FETZER, president and principal owner of the where-do-we-go-f rom-here Tigers. But if I were I'd go after one man Paul Rapier Richards to be my manager. It is true that the 51-year-old Texan still has a year to go on his contract with the Baltimore Orioles. It is true that Richards would cost the Tigers more money than any manager in their history.

It is true that maybe he wouldn't even want to leave security and a coming team at Baltimore for a rebuilding job with Detroit where be played when the Tigers won their last pennant in 1945. But if I were John Fetzer I'd go after him with every persuasive power at my disposal namely money, a contract for five years, a piece of stock in the club and a written promise of complete authority not only in running the club but in player purchase, acquisition and disposal. Detroit baseball needs Paul Richards. lie represents stability and managerial brilliance In an area where such items have not existed for a long and disastrous decade. Tiger fans are filled to the point of nausea with continual headlines over change of ownership, new presidents, new general managers, new managers and the same old status of also-rans on the field.

KICIIAKDS IS A PROVEN major league manager. His presence here would inject confidence not only in the players but in the cash customers and sports writers who have been looking over their noses in deep disdain at the continual parade of interim managers who have been hired, fired and traded, or who have decided to quit, in such quantity that the next one will be No. 8 since 1952. No. That phrase has a familiar ring.

Why? The other day the New York Yankees hired Ralph Houk as their new manager. He also is the eighth manager for them since 1918. That's eight in 43 years. Detroit is looking for No. 8 in less than 10.

New York has won 25 pennants over that span. Detroit just four. I am completely -old on Richards as the one manager who is capable of leading the Tigers out of the wilderness in which they now are lost. The Tigers and their followers need a strong man. They feel that if the club owner is willing to pay $100,000 to get rid of Bill DeWitt, no popularity contest winner, he should be willing to spend freely to get a manager who would quickly restore public confidence and morale.

From previous talks with Richards, I know he doesn't want to come in as general manager and manager. But I also know that he always has wanted to return to Turn to Page 5, Column 1 Go Go Gopher adust Ag Never did Michigan put together more than two first downs in succession. Bump Elliott's first blanking In a season-and-a-half as U-M coach, the defeat slapped the Wolverines out of the Big Ten race with their second league loss. For the season, Michigan is 3-2. Unbeaten Minnesota has a five-game winning streak, a 3-0 conference status, and the Little Brown Jug for only the third time in 18 years.

The Golden Gonhers and thpir 22fl-nrmnrl-nvpracro lino BY BOB PILLE Frea Prt Staff Writer ANN ARBOR What Michigan feared turned out to be a proper worry. Minnesota's strong-arm line swarmed all over the Wolverines and turned them back, 10-0, Saturday before 69,352 fans. The Gophers used their strength to force frustrated Michigan into five fumbles lost ai.d two passes intercepted, a gift count that exactly matched the number of times the Wolverines had given the ball away in four previous g-uies.

The Spartans, scoring their second straight shutout in a 3-1-1 record, rolled up 355 yards to 167 for Indiana, now 1-4 for the season. State ran for 249 yards, with Charon picking up 54 on six 10-0 what must have been his finest iiiuuiejik a Minnesoia coacn in 6'i seasons, some of them very long seasons. KILLED BY 34-0 the last time he came here with a four-game victory string, Warmath just stood grinning at the clock as the final seconds blinked off with Minnesota in possession. A carpetbagger come North from Tennessee, Warmath grinned some more as he allowed a couple of players to hoist him to their shoulders for the ride to midfield to shake hands with Elliott. He took the ride waving his hat happily about his head in the manner of Bill Mazeroski running out his deciding World Series Home run.

And it could be that Warmath has his first home run if you can mix that into football in the esteem of diehard Gopher faithful. Tins IS the first Minnesota team to win five straight since the 1941 gang; rolled to the last of Bernie Bierman's Big Ten championships. The Gophers haven't won a title since, and the six they took under Bierman in eight years have haunted his successors. All the Minnesota points in this big one were scored by a senior fullback so lightly regarded in preseason plans that he didn't even make the portion of the publicity brochure entitled "Vignettes of Gopher Principals." But 185-pound Jim Rogers was a Gopher principal Saturday with his two-yard touchdown plunge, his 11th extra point kick without a miss and his 22-yard field goal. The touchdown came early in the second period, and the field goal clinched things with 10:46 remaining in the game.

MINNESOTA attack was no faster than expected and it wasn't startling, tut with the defense the Gophers have it was sufficient. One of Michigan's five fum bles was turned into the touch down, and one of the two passes stolen produced the field goal. The Gophers hammered 43 yards in eight plays after quarterback Sandy Stephens jumped sophomore Jim Ward's bobble late in the first period. A flip from Stephens to Tom Hall, junior end from Delaware who set Minnesota pass-catch ing records last fall, accounted for 11 yards, and the rest of the distance was earned on the ground. The game was four plays into the second period when Rogers slammed the last two yards.

The Hoosiers, who had connected only eight times in their first four games, hit six against State. But they were good for only 59 yards.

In-1 diana may have recruited its football team illegally, as the NCAA and Big Ten say.

But the Hoosiers could have done a better job of it, Michigan State proved Saturday. Merciful at the finish but in firm control all the way, the Spartans rammed a 35-0 defeat down the throats of the victory-hungry Hoosiers, whose games do not count in the conference standings because of their proselyting sins. IT WAS THE most lopsided victory for MSU in its last 31 starts, dating back to a 54-0 rout of Indiana at the start of the 1957 campaign. Hitting hard on the ground and passing sharply. th Spartans scored five of the first six times they got their hands on the ball.

A fumble balked them the other time, but they came right back to march 58 yards for a touchdown anyway. Tfcie closest the feeble Hoosiers could get in all that time was State's 34-yard line and it was the final quarter before Indiana made a threat against the MSU goal line. By then," the Spartans were using a combination of sophomores and irregulars, but the inexperienced mixture was strong enough to throw back drives to the nine and 17-yard lines in the closing minutes. FIVE DIFFERENT players scored the Spartans' touchdowns in the first three periods only one of whom is considered a regular on offense. That was halfback Gary Ball-man, who crashed over from the two-yard line at the end of a 66-yard drive the first time State had the ball.

After that, it was: Bob Suci, a defensive specialist, on an 11-yrrd run which climaxed an 80-yard surge. tfson Harness, a third-string end, on an 11-yard pass from quarterback Tom Wilson, with only 19 seconds to go in the first half. Carl Charon, the team's leading ground gainer in spite of defensive status, on a five-yard plunge following a 14 yard Hoosier punt. Jim Eaton, -sophomore halfback called one of the fastest on he squad, on an 18-yard run for the finish of a march from midfield. THIS WAS to be a big day for the Hoosiers their home coming and dedication day for a staaium which they hope will lift their athletic Iowa Holds Off Pushy Purdue BY RON SPEER IOWA CITY Iowa's passing attack sputtered, but an 84-yard scoring run with a Purdue fumble by reserve Gopher Jim Kogers Celts Nail Pistons in Wild Finisl 2 Seconds to Go, Heinsohn Clicks BOSTON A last-quarter Boston surge overtook Detroit, 118-116, Saturday night as the Celtics" opened defense of their National Basketball Association title.

COUSY, WHO led Boston scorers with 30 points, registered a string of 13 in the last quarter, keeping the Celtics' momentum moving as Detroit fought to keep pace. His last two points were a couple of free throws that tied it at 112. Then he assisted on a Heinsohn bucket to give the Celtic a two-point lead.

Bailey Howell's two free throws tied it again before Jim Loscutoff hit from the corner.

U-D missed Bob Lusky, its ace quarterback sidelined for the season with a knee injury a week ago. The game was the Titans sloppiest with four fumbles, but Dayton, with only one victory in six tries, was just as futile. U-D grabbed four flyer fumbles and intercepted three passes. CHANCES ARE the victory could have been a lot easier jfor the Titans, who scored in BASSEN performed creditably. He blanked the Maple Leafs through the first two periods and didn't lose his shutout until the 6:41 mark of tire final period a shot by Ron Stewart skipped off his goalie stick and slid into the net.

That move reduced the Wings lead to 2-1 and brought on the most feverish Toronto offensive of the game. Basften turned aside four extremely difficult fchnt In the next seven minutes while the Detroit defense truKgled to fight off heavy Toronto pressure. In the last five minutes of the session, the Wings suddenly went on the attack again and had Toroito goalie Johnny Bower in constant danger as time ran out. McDOXALD'S opening score came at 3:28 of the second period after the Wings had out-skated, outhustled and outshot the Leafs without profit in the abbreviated first period. McDonald seized the puck off the boards at his right and whizzed a low, angle shot past Bower.

Norm Ullman assisted on the play. Then, it the 16:45 mark, Glover made it 2-0, firing a screen shot from about S3 feet. Bower never uw the Turn to Page Column center Dayton Perry paved the the Boilermakers Saturday. The homecoming triumph was the fifth straight for the Hawke? es, ranked first in this week's Associated Press national football poll. Purdue, rated 10th, almost overtook Iowa after trailing by three touchdowns midway in the third period.

Quarterback Bernie Allen fired pass after pass as the Boilermakers scored on touchdown drives of 76 and 91 yards in the second half. PURDUE was threatening again as the time ran out and preserved the victory for Iowa, strengthening its bid for a Big Ten championship. The scoring sprint by Perry, a third-team sophomore, gave Iowa a 14-0 halftime lead after it appeared that the Boilermakers might tie the score at 7-7. With 50 seconds left in the second period, Allen dropped Turn to Page 2, Column 3 the second and third periods en route to their fourth straight victory after an opening setback. Gross ran with the same flair that Lusky exhibited.

This made up for his bullet passes which the receivers couldn't hold In the chlly 51-dejfree weather. Gross was the game's top runner with 124 yards on 16 carries. But every time the Titans got near the end zone, coach Jim Miller pulled Gross and inserted senior Tony Hanley. Twice this gambit backfired aiil it was almost three times.
