THE MICHIGAN DAILY E i 11 I o 'ENER, 131-117: llt Pistons Break Royals' String EBy MIKE GILLMAN Associate Sports Editor Special to The Daily DETROIT-The Detroit Pistons raced off to an early lead here last night against the . league- leading Cincinnati Royals, and shook off a second-half cold spell to post a 131-117 win. The Pistons posted their first NBA win of the season over the previously unbeaten Royals by holding big Oscar Robertson to seven field goals, only three in the last half. Detroit collapsed its defenses around the highly-touted rookie under the boards, forcing him to pick up his only points from the floor on jump shots from behind the key. Six in Double Figures Meanwhile, six Pistons hit dou- ble figures, paced by sharp-shoot- ing' guard Gene Shue with 30 on an 11-8 combination and Baily Howell with 23. Shue led the Pistons last year with a 22.8 average. Robertson still managed to ac- qount for 25 points in the wide- open contest, but had to pick up 11 of them from the foul line. Jack Twyman was all over the court to top the game's scoring with 33 on 11-11. The' Royals had entered the game on the wave of a four game winning streak, the best season start in the history of the team. But the Pistons took little time in taking command. Moreland Leads Attack Before the 6,926 fans had set- tled in their seats, Piston rookie Jackie Moreland had poured in nine straight points to give De- troit a 9-2 bulge, The margin rolled to 15-3 be- fore Cincinnati settled down, with the 6'7" forward from Louisiana Tech carrying the attack with his jump shots and driving layups. He wad also clearing both the offen- sive and defensive boards. And when Moreland let up, Shue took up the slack, hitting on his long set shots. The Pistons hit over 55 per cent of their first period shots. At the start of the second half, long-time Piston fans were wait- ing for the second-half cold spell that had plagued last year's NBA entry. They didn't have long to wait. Midway through the third per- iod, Cincinnati took advantage of Detroit mistakes aund fine shoot- ing by Twyman and Arlen Bock-' born to cut the 68-52 half-time margin to 93-90. But the Pistons hung on to take the decision. Shellie McMiI- lon, 6'5" Piston forward topped ' ._*_ off the evening for local fans by jamming down a layup for the final basket with 34 seconds to go. Former Michigan star George Lee saw limited action, picking up a pair of free throws and grabbing two rebounds for De- troit. The Pistons, now 1-1 for the season, play a TV contest with New York at .1 p.m., Satur- day. 'it'".1 Al. Ad By The Associated Press NEW YORK - The American League voted yesterday to move into Los Angeles and Minneapolis- St. Paul next season, jumping the gun on the National League by expanding to 10 teams immedi- ately. This surprising action, taken less than six months before open- ing day, left the American with the problem of stocking two new clubs on short notice. The general managers immediately huddled to devise a formula to let each exist- ing club provide talent for the new; teams. Calvin Griffith, president of the present Washington club, was given permission to move his Sen- ators-bat, ball and Harmon Kille- brew - to Minneapolis-St. Paul,. where the 22,000-seat Metropolitan Stadium will be enlarged to 40,000 capacity" during the coming sea- son. New Owner 4 w iseon sins ivimer Tops Total Offense Angeles, probably in the Coliseum with its 94,000 seats and 251-foot left field foul line. The names of, the new owners in Washington and Los Angeles will be. made public within three weeks by Joe Cronin, league presi- dent. Fast action will be necessary because they probably will partici- pate in the annual player draft in late November. The National League voted, last week to expand to 10 clubs by adding New York and Houston in 1962. Informed of the American League action, Warren Giles, Na- tional League president, said his league's plan is "more practical."' As for the matter of moving into Los Angeles, where the Na- tional League already has a club, Giles said:. "For them to go into Los An- geles, they will have to follow the same procedure we ,will have to, follow to go into New York. That is, they will have to obtain the permission of the club already there or change the rules." . Frick for Move In case there is any dispute be- tween the two leagues, Commis- sioner Ford Frick already has said he would cast a tie-breaking vote in favor of two clubs in New York and Los Angeles. The American League will meet again Nov. 17 in New York. Cron- in said, "Further forward looking steps for future expansion will be considered at that time." He said ds Two Teams for the league will expand to 12 clubs "in the near future.", Expansion to 10 clubs means that the American League will play 162 games next season. Each club will meet each other 18 times. It is likely that old records will be' preserved by listing them with a separate notation that they cov- ered a 154-game season. This would leave Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs in the books for all time. Cut Player Limit As part of the plan to stock the new teams, the American League will-cut the player limit from 25 to 23 men. That would leave two extra men who could wind up with one of the new clubs. It is likely that some system, patterned after, the disaster plan, will be set up so that 15 men would-be declared untouchable on each roster with the others eligible for purchase- s..; , but not more than three fr one club.

By KEN LARSON I If When the Wolverines travel to Madison Saturday, they will be up against more than a co-holder of fifth place in the Big Ten Stand- ings., Providing a big spark for Wis-' consin drives will be quarterback Ron Miller, currently leading the, Western Conference in total of- fense. Statistics showed Miller With 548 yards gained for an average of 5.8 per play through last week's games., Of these total yards, 482 have come on 36 pass combinations in 70 ,attempts. Top Receivers The Badgers also have the two top pass receivers in the confer- ence, in end Pat Richter who caught 14 tosses for 189 yards and one touchdown, and fullback Tom Wiesner who has gained 145 yards on seven nabs. Michigan's Dave Glinka ranks fourth in passing offense, one be- hind Miller. The Wolverine sig- nal-caller has completed 17 out of 45 tries for 279 yards. Glinka dropped from the fourth spot in total offense to sixth last Saturday, averaging 4.1 yards per play. Allen on Top Bernie Allen of Purdue removed Ohio State's Tom Matte from the top spot in passing offense by hitting on 18 of 26 pass attempts against a rather weak Iowa sec- ondary last Saturday. Allen has 294 yards in the air on 27 com- pletions in 43 tries. Wisconsin has two other leaders in Big Ten statistics: Second- string Badger quarterback Jim Bakken has punted nine times in averaging 42.6 yards per punt, while halfback Bill Hess has a 10.3-yard average for four punt returns. As a result of last Saturday's games, Minnesota regained the po- sition as top defense team in the conference and Ohio State held . its number one position in de- fense, The Wolverines, who lead the Big Ten in defense last week, dropped to second this week, with Northwestern third and ,Ohio State fourth. A new owner, to be named later, will take over at Washington with an entirely new club. Likewise, new owners will operate in Los JIM 1kARTIN . . . place kicker deluxe artin's Three Field Goals Helped l.in r PEUTGEOT , ' Buy Your PEUGEOT from Stanftrd Brother Authorized Renault-Peugeot Dealers SERVICE 25900- Outer ,,Dr. DU 6-0699 Lincoln Park-- Outer Dr. of -Fort --.W Ua..V U/L7 ° ... A/ N IrG l..A (' E/ r/t' Nl l G/ i $y FRED STEINHARDT The man of the hours in De- troit these days is Jim Martin. The veteran linebacker kicked three long field goals Sunday in helping the Detroit Lions to an upset 30-17 victory over the Bal- timore Colts. During the last half he also jarred quarterback Johnny Unitas loose from the ball on the Colts 10-yard line. His first three pointed, a 52 yarder in the opening period, was the longest he had ever kicked. The two in the last period, 51 and 40 yards respectively, salted away the Lions' victory. 'Satisfying Win'. Afterward, Martin remarked that "this was one of the most satisfying wins of my career." 'This win means a lot to the team. This is a good club that has to hustle and make our own; breaks and we proved today that we could do it against the best." Martin's second field goal could be classified as a break and a half. With a strong wind helping him at his back, the kick struck the crossbar and bounced over. 'Hit Ball High' "I hit the ball 'high' and didn't know if it would carry," said Martin. "I was certainly surprised to see it hit the crossbar. But as long as it goes in I'll take it." The last kick was a line drive which sailed straight through. Martin has a long history of playing on winning teams. At Notre Dame (1946-9) he played on the post-war Irish powerhouses under Frank Leahy. (Purdue, broke a 39 game unbeaten string, of Notre Dame in 1950.) Some ofj his teammates were Johnny Lu- jack, Bobby Williams, Leon Hart,I, and Emil Sitko, Starts at Cleveland His first year of pro ball was spent with Cleveland in 1950. That, year the Brown won the league title. The next season, his first with Detroit, the Lions were nosed out for the Western Division title, posting a 7-4-1 record. Then they won the league titles in 1952, 1953 plus a divisional title in 1954. Versatile 'through his ten year career with Detroit, Martin has been aa jack - of - all - trades. He played tackle, guard, and. center on of- fense and a variety of positions on defense. In later years he has 'served as a placekicker, spare linebacker ,and occasional fillin for other positions. In practice, Martin boots field goals from the 57 yard line. Why the odd distance? Bert Rechichar holds the NFL record at 56 yards. Most Valuable Last season, Martin, who always holds the respect of his fellow players, was named the team's most valuable player by his team- mates, At the end of every season, ob- servers begin their annual debate on whether Martin will retire or come back for just one more year. This is his 11th year as a pro, "I think I'll call it quits when my wife stops having kids," said Martin with a sly grin. "We have four now and expect the fifth any day now." Would Martin want his little boy to be a football player? "I don't know," he said laughingly. "He might be too good looking. I think he's cut out to be a ladies man."
