As the picture indicates, Yearby and his tackling mates got the better of the exchange.

The long-rumored move came at a hastily-summoned news confer- ence at which Lopez' new job was defined as assistant ,to General Manager Ed Short. Successor to Lopez, who was un- der managerial contract through 1966, probably will be named be- fore baseball's: winter meetings within a few weeks in Florida, Short said. Sox owner Arthur C. Allyn, who presided 'at the news conference, said Lopez would be Short's "right hanj man," in charge of selection, development and acquisition of players.

BOX 969 BERKELEY, CALIF. 94701 Regular like a two-headed cow: is regular. Bill Yearby has to be §uper-regular, because anybody in his position should need a ten gallon hat just to hold the clip- pings when he gets a haircut. When you see Bill Yearby on cam- pus, you just know that he must be somebody important. Not just because he's big, but because of the modest self assurance with which he conducts himself. Smiles for All{ Yearby wears a smile for every- one. "When I first met him," con- fesses Carl Ward, "even before he knew'who I was, he kidded around with me, though to him I was just another ordinary guy." Ward is not an ordinary guy. And neither is Yearby - on the football field. "He has to be the quickest, most agile athlete I've ever coach," offered Bob Holloway, the defensive line coach. "Bill has a lot of pride and plays to win," says Rowser. When Bill Yearby is out there, every- body plays to win. He's a legiti- mate All-American and being out there with an All-American is contagious. You know not too many plays are going to get by him. It's like batting behind Mickey Mantle: even if the oppos- ing pitcher gets by him he's been softened up pretty well by the time he gets to you. Impatient Patient But Mickey Mantle has bad legs and sits on the bench. Bill Yearby has a pinched nerve in his shoul- der and sits on the bench some- times, too; ,but only if you abso- lutely compel him. "We have to keep him on the bench for his own sake," says Holloway. "The shoul- der? He'll play over it if we let him." Bill i'einjured his shoulder dur- ing the week of the Minnesota game and spent the entire game huddled on the bench. One player put it this way: "The team feels a lot better just having him around.

And why is he there? "Because," said captain Tom Cecchini, "Billy JIM LaSOVAGE (92-48, .657)-Michig Minnesota, Nebraska, Notre Dame, South has the fastest reactions of any- one I have ever seen in my life." Cecchini tells a little story' to illustrate his point "There were a bunch of us standing around talking and joking when some- body - I don't remember who - picked up a glass and threw the water in it at Bill. By the time the water reached where Bill had been 'standing, he already had ducked in a room and had the door closed." Sounds insignificant?
