Ph illies Lose for 17th Straight

AussieNetter Upsets Crawford;
Redskins Deny Discrimination
CHICAGO-Ernie Banks blast-
ed his 20th homer and second
baseman Jerry Kindall his ninth
yesterday as the Chicago Cubs
handed Philadelphia its 17th
straight defeat, 9-2.
Philadelphia thus inched within
two games of tying the National
League record of 19 consecutive
losses.
The victory, gained on youthful
lefty Dick Ellsworth's six - hit
pitching, enabled the Cubs to snap
a seven game losing streak and
take a 10-5 seasonal edge over the
Phillies.
Banks, lifted in the eighth in
favor of Andre Rodgers at short-
stop had a perfect 3 for 3 day at
the plate with three runs batted
in.
Chicago chased starter Frank
Sullivan with a five run fifth to
send the big right-hander down
to his 11th defeat. He has won
three.
The only bright spot for the
Phillies was provided by outfield-
er Lee Walls. He hit safely in his
12th straight game, using a fourth
inning single to score Don Deme-
ter who had doubled.
Boston in 1906 and Cincinnati
in 1914 each lost 19 straight, the
modern National League record.
The all-time National League
mark is 24 set by Cleveland in
1899. The American League record
is 20 by Boston in 1906 and by
Philadelphia in both
1943.

OLD CHICAGO MENTOR:
Stagg Still Enjoying
Football Coaching
STOCKTON, Calif. (1P) - Amos
Alonzo Stagg, the grand old man
of football, celebrates his 99th
birthday on Wednesday, still full
of interest for the game that made
him famous.
Asked what he thought of foot-
ball's'future, Stagg replied sharply,
"I think well of the future. But
I think too much effort is toward
not inventiveness of play, but on
securing material.
"I am not in favor of recruiting
and the policies used in recruiting.
No Recruiting
"If they're football players, take
'em as they are. I had a policy of
no recruiting. I felt it was my
job to take 'em as they come."
Sitting under a fig tree at his
home here, the man known al-
ways as Mr. Stagg by his players,
reminisced on his introduction to
football in 1884 at Yale.
"I played football," he said, "be-
cause of a buddy of mine from
Orange (N. J.) High School. At
Yale, freshmen made their own
choices on which sport to go out
f or,
"On that particular day, a group
of us started out to try rowing.
We hadn't gone more than two
blocks from campus when there
was a change in mind of which
sport to go out for. I had no
opinion. I knew nothing of either
sport."'
A chance meeting with other
freshmen sent them. to the foot-
ball field. Stagg was on the way
to greatness, and football's Hall
of Fame.
Football "Exciting"
"I liked the roughness and ex-
citement of practice and later the
games," he explained. "Football
was full of vitality and was very
stimulating to me." '
Although he went to Yale to
study for the ministry, Stagg went
into coaching when the president
at the University of Chicago, his
former teacher of the Bible at
Yale, offered him the job.
At Chicago, his teams won seven
Big Ten titles and five of the
clubs had undefeated seasons.
It was Stagg's team that also
dethroned Fielding H. Yost's pow-
erful Michigan squad and snapped

the point-a-minute team's four
year winning streak with a 2-0
defeat.
Heads West
He was head coach 41 years
until reaching mandatory retire-
ment age. At 70, retired from
Chicago, Spagg became head coach
at College of the Pacific, continu-
ing until 1946. He remained active
in football, as advisory coach of
Stockton (Junior) College until
last year.
Askedrwhat he considers neces-
sary in a football players, Stagg
answered, "First, his patterns of
life and how he maintains them:
physically, he 'must be a good
trainer. He must be able to pro-
duce the best that's in him morally
and spiritually."
No Swearing
Stagg never swore, explaining,
"The strongest word I used was
jackass. Some claim I called them
double, triple and sometimes quad-
ruplebjackesses, but I don't re-
member."
Asked if he had a secret, for
longevity, the former star and
coach answered, "Why, I don't
know as I have any single secret,
but I believe in behaving yourself
morally and spiritually."

first-day lead over France, Rus-
sia and Bulgaria yesterday in an
international team parachute

jumps out of the way, the Ameri-

figured on the basis of their near-
ness to ground target on group
jumps at 3,300 feet.

team with 2,128.431, followed by
Bulgaria 2,105.035; Russia,
2,068, and the French "B" team
with 1,982.095. The point scores
thus far were all unofficial.
Sgt. Loy Brydon, 29, of Fort
Bragg, N. C., and Everett, Wash-
ington, gave the American team a
boost with one jump right on tar-
get and a second landing only
51/2 inches off.
In the first individual event,
Brydon held a lead in accuracy at
the midway point with a low 1.40
average for two jumps. He was
followed by Jean-Claude Simon of
the French "B" team with 1.80 and
Russian Valari Chelouha with 2.11.
Individual Events
Officials hope to complete the
other two jumps of the event to-
day. weather permitting. Two main
individual events remained, the
15-second delayed opening ac-
curacy jump, and the style event
in which the jumpers receive sig-
nals from the ground after they
leave the plane telling them what
free-fall acrobatics they are to
perform.
