aylor B Team Drops
Cameron Yoelets 22-6
Coach Bob Short’s B team even-
ed their season record at two
wins and two losses Thursday
night as they dumped 'the Camer-
on Yoelets by 22-6.
This also made an even split
with Cameron since the Yoelets
won the game in Cameron earlier
this year.
Taylor reserves made it a per-
fect night as they won their 30
minute scrimmage with Cameron
substitutes by 8-6. This was the
identical score the Duck reserves
won by in Cameron.
The Ducks tallied first to cul-
minate a 60 yard drive the sec-
ond time they had the ball. Wayne
Schroeder and Tim Hurta alter-
nated circling the ends and hitting
off tackle to move the ball down
and tee it up at 'the one yard
line. From there Schroeder sneak-
ed it over for a touchdown and
then made it 8-0 on a roll out
sweep.
Cameron gat right back in the1
thick of things on the ensuing
J®|iick-off when a halfback babbled
^mie kick, went back to the side-
line to pick it up, circled toward
the middle and cut left for eighty
yards and make it an 8-6 ball
game.
Quarterback Schroeder, having
his finest night of the year, had
a long run for naught in the next
series when he rolled out and
cleared down the sideline for 70
yards and an apparent Duck
touchdown but it was nullified oy
a penalty. Moments later he re-
peated the performance from mid-
field and made the score 14-6. The
pass for the point was unsucess-
ful.
Fullback Tim Hurta brought the
crowd to its feet midway in the
second quarter when he took
a quick hand-off at the line and
split the middle for 86 yards and
the final score for Taylor. Schroe-
der rolled out for the two bonus
points and it was 22-6.
The final half found both teams
moving the ball but neither able
to puncture the goal line. For
Taylor Joe Torres and Larry Cer-
nosek as well as Schroeder and
Hurta ran well while Jimmy
Freels and Jimmy Kropp had
good night on defense. Dale Hen-
drix and Billy Mucha performed
well both offensively and defen-
sively.
In the reserve game quarter-
back Kenneth Czimskey ran for
the touchdown, as well as the ex-
tra points.
Starters for the B team were
C. L. Carson at center, Jimmy
Freels and Wayne Miller at
guards with Wallace Teaff and
Jimmy Kropp with Dale Hendrix
and Jonathan Fritz at ends.
Wayne Schroeder was the man
under with Tim Hurta at full and
Gene Harkins and Larry Cernosek
at the halves.
Next game for the Bees will be
with the Rockdale Tiger Kittens.

Ducklings Grind Out
20-6 Win Over Lizards
Coach Rick Sherley’s Taylor
Ducklings came roaring from be-
hind to grind out a hard fought
20-6 victory over the Round Rock
Lizards in a game played in
Round Rock. The game was
closer than the score indicates.
The Seventh grade game was
not played.
The Ducks handed the home
owners a touchdown on a plat-
ter as they fumbled the opening
kick-off to the lizards at the Tay-
lor 20. David Zam|arippa, 155-
pound fullback, was the spear-,
head as it took seven plays be-
fore the big bulldozer struck pay-
dirt. The Duck defense piled in
and stopped the bonus run short
of the endzone to end the Round
Rock scoring for the night.
The Duckling offense moved
spasmodically with quarterback
Bobby Clark contributing most
of the yardage on keeper plays to
the outside. However it took a
freak set of circumstances for
Taylor to get on the scoreboard.
Round Rock attempted to get a
first down yardage on fourth down
try from their own twenty five
with just forty-five seconds to
go in the half. The try failed
and Clark moved the Ducks to
the ten on sweeps. A pass inter-
ference penalty set up the ball on
the one for the score and Jimmy
Mohel reversed around left end
for the two points 'that put Taylor
ahead 8-6 as the half ended.
The two teams spent the third
quarter sparring in mid field.
The big Dragon fullback was held
in check by some vicious line
backing by Robert Teaff and
corner men James Zvonek and
Rodney Benad. He broke through
early in the fourth quarter on a
forty yard run that was nullified
| by a penalty. The Ducks lost a
'golden opportunity when safety
man Clark returned a punt seven-
ty yards only to be run out of
bounds on the Dragon twelve. On
the play Clark was injured' and
had to leave the game.
Two plays later Taylor fum-
bled into the end zone and Round
Rock recovered. They could not
move with consistency however,
and Taylor took over at mid field.
Sub quarterback Benny MaCuk
then moved the Ducks for 60
yards in, less than three minutes
as he rolled the ends, alternating
giving the ball to fullback Teaff
and keeping it himiself. James
Zvonek kept them honest up the
middles. Teaff got the score
from five on a sweep.
Teaff then kicked off to Round
Rock and recovered' a fumble at
the Dragon 35. From there it took
just five plays to get the icing on
Yankees Have Edge
In Series Statistics
NEW YORK UP) — Once past
their pitching, where the teams
are rated fairly even, the New
York Yankees have a wide edge
statistically over the Cincinnati
Reds for the World Series.
The Yankees will go into their
26th series not only with more
victories and more experience
than the Reds, but with more
runs, more homers, more double
plays and fewer errors. The Reds
have stolen more bases.
Only in the outfield does Cin-
cinnati present adequate cornpe
tition but even 'there the Reds run
second best on paper to the Man-
tle-Maris-Berra trio.
New York has a big margin in
infield defense, although Cincinna-
ti’s first baseman, Gordon Cole-
man and third baseman Gene
Freese can hold their own
against the Yanks’ Bill Skowron
and Clete Boyer in hitting power.
the cake. Zvonek got the final
four yards.
The victory was truly a team
effort since it took the entire
Duck defense to contain Zama-
rippa’s bull like rushes. Louie
Rubino had a good night on de-
fense and filled in well for the
injured Reggie Woods on offense.
Benny MaCuk did yoeman service
on defense and came through un-
der fire as Clark’s replacement.
Gary Mohel filled' in capably on
defense for Clark.
Starters for Taylor were Bo
Stiles at center, with Rubino and
John Fox at guards, and Bruce
Barron and Ken Bowen at tack-
les. Harry Voigt and David Bey-
er were ends. Clark was at quar-
ter and Jimmy Mohel at left half
with Teaff at full and Zvonek and
Benad alternating at right half.
The entire twenty one man squad
saw action.
Next game for the Junior High
will be in Georgetown next Thurs-
day beginning at 6:30 p.m. with
a Termite game followed by the
Eighth grade game.
This makes the Ducklings rec-
ord stand at 2-0. Their opening
win was over Rockdale.

Sun Kings'
May Join
Texas Loop
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Iff) —
The El Paso Sun Kings are in
the Class AA Texas League IF,
and that’s a big if right now,
Albuquerque makes up its mind
that it will join the league also,
The El Paso Sports Association
voted unanimously Thursday night
to purchase the franchise and
equipment of E. J. (Jimmy)
Humphries who has operated the
Victoria Rosebuds. The El Paso
club also must pay a $5,000 lea-
gue deposit for the frkchise.
Now comes the if:
Albuquerque owner Tom Block,
who also finds time to be Lieuten-
ant Governor of New Mexico was

franchise.
“We’re still apart on several
things,” Bolack said late Thurs-
day night.
Both Albuquerque and El Paso
must resign from the Sophomore
League before they can become
members of the Texas League.
However, this is considered ia
mere formality—but it’s one that
must be completed by Oct. 15 or
both clubs will lose an estimated
$2,300 league franchise deposit.
If both Albuquerque and El
Paso join the Texas loop, the
death of the Sophomore League
is expected to follow. It would
leave only four small Southwest-
ern cities — Alpine, Tex., and
Hobbs, Carlsbad and Artesia,

formed several years ago by eight

figures to come from Frank Rob-
inson, Vada Pinson, Coleman and
Freese, with part-time help from
Wally Post and Jerry Lynch. The
six have hit a combined total of
137 home runs. This figure falls
far shor tof the 205 home run hit
of Roger Maris (60), Mickey Man-
tle (54), Skowron (28), Yogi Ber-
ra (22), Elston Howard (21) and
John Blanchard (20).
As a team, the Yankees have
smashed 238 home runs Ito Cincy’s
156, in eight more games. They
have scored 821 runs to the Reds’
695.
Yankees top the Reds in field-
ing by onyl two percentage points
but they’ve completed 180 double
plays to 122 by the Reds. The big
defensive edge is in the infield
where the Yankees have three
fielding standouts in second base-
man Bobby Richardson, shortstop
Tony Kubek and third baseman
Boyer.
The best of the Reds’ infielders
is second baseman Don Blasin-
garne but he fails to measure up
to Richardson. Shortstop Eddie
Kasko is a steady though not
spectacular performer. Freese is
third and Coleman at first are
just adequate.

When Iowa trots out its team
under new Coach Jerry Burns,
against California (0-1), it will be

Homer 61
Maris Target
For Tonight
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Home run No. 61 is the target
tonight as Roger Maris starts in
pursuit of the circuit shot that
will make him the only player
In major league history to hit
more homers in one season than
Babe Ruth.
Maris has only the -three-game
set starting tonight at Yankee
Stadium against the Boston Red
Sox in which it® hit No. 61 and
surpass the total of 60 compiled
by the Bambino in 1927 when, he
established baseball’s most-.rever-
ed rqcord.
Maris, of course, cannot break
the Babes record according to
the ruling of Commissioner Ford
Frick who set a 154-decision limit
on tying or breaking Ruth’s 34-
year-old mark, and he’ll be play-
ing without homer-hitting partner
Mickey Mantle.
Mantle, who has hit 54 homers,
was hospitalized Thursday with a
hip infection and will miss the
final games of the American Lea-
gue’s expanded schedule. He is,
however, expected to be ready for
the opening of the World Series
against the Cincinnati Reds next
Wednesday.
Neither Mantle nor Maris, who
took a day off Wednesday when
the Yankees played Baltimore,
worked out Thursday as the AL
champs used the open date for
a hitting drill and' an opportunity
to discuss their Series opponents.
Maris hit No. 60 against Jack
Fisher Tuesday night, then pro-
voked comment by sitting it out
against the Orioles Wednesday be-
cause he was “bushed.”
