dary and was headed for paydirt
when the ball popped from his
arms. "Everyone was in position,
so that was no mistake. When
good players are covering good
players, its up to the individual
to beat his man, and in this case
he did."
In contrast to this individual
play, Fonde said that a pass inter-
ception was mainly a team effort.
"When McNitt, Bushong or any-
one else intercepts, it can usually
be attributed to a good rush, or
an opposing end being hit at
the line, destroying the pattern."
Ready To Capitalize
Thus, when the opportunity
presents itself, the ex-"Raider"
backfield of Stamos, McNtt,
Bushong and Van Dyne is ready
to capitalize on it. "Their exper-
ience helps them do this," said
Fonde, "it proves invaluable, es-
pecially in the area of fewer de-
fensive mistakes, which can cost
you that long one any time."

NEW YORK (P)-The American
League pushed ahead yesterday
with plans to run a 10-team
league in 1961 despite word that
Commissioner Ford Prick wished
they had waited until 1962.
"I told' Joe (American League
President Joe Cronin) that try-
ing to get started in 1961 consti-
tuted quite a problem," said
Frick. "That it was doing things
awfully fast and I wished they
might have waited until 1962."
Shea Mad
Continental League founder
Bill Shea accused the American
League of "reneging" on an agree-
ment, "double crossing" the de-
funct circuit's franchise holders,
and "committing a disservice" to
baseball.
Shea delivered a blistering in-
dictment of the American League's
expansion move that resulted in
big league franchises going to Los
Angeles and Minneapolis - St.
Paul.
"The whole thing was done to
get even with Walter O'Malley
(Los Angeles Dodger president)."
he said. "But the American
League did it at the expense of the
SContinental ,League.',
Defected from Agreement
"The American League defected
from its agreement to accept only
Continental League franchises.
These same men voted for Los
Angeles, which was not a mem-
ber of our group, and ignored our
people in the twin cities by let-
ting Calvin Griffith move his
Washington club to Minneapolis-
St. Paul.
"Our people from the twin
cities as well as from Dallas-Ft.
Worth and Toronto were there
but they never gave them the
courtesy of calling them into their
meeting. They just left them
standing outside cooling their
heels. They didn't even have the
decency and the courtesy to call
them in and tell them what they
planned to do."

Reid Bushong and Gary McNitt have played a large part in making Michigan the top pass de-

Football Season Highlighted by Humor
Frustration, Confusions, Contusionsetc.
By BRIAN MacCLOWRY
With the 1960 college football
season past the half-way mark-
the usual upsets, frustrations, and
surprises have taken place
And as in every past year there
has been a humorous side to col-
lege football, both on and off the
field.
Here are a few of this fall's oc-
currences.
In the Miami opener against
North Carolina, which the Hurri-
canes won 29-12, Miami right end
Pat Miller had a rather exasper-
ating experience.
'Memory Course Might Help'
After the Hurricane's had scored
their last touchdown coach Andy
Gustafson forgot to send his quar-
terback into the game, and Mil-
ler, realizing the team had no
time outs left, decided to call the
play and be the quarterback in a
try for two points.
After calling a pass play he
lined up behind the quarterback
to bark signals, but promptly re-
membered that the play he had
called was a pass to him, the right
end who was now a quarterback.
Confusing, Isn't It?
If you think this is confusing,
you're right, it is. Miller then at-
tempted frantically to change the
play at the line but his audible
signal was muffled by the crowd
and no one heard him.
The ball was centered, and
Miller, in the ensuing confusion,
legged it around his vacated end
position for two points he'll never
forget.
Last Saturday night in Burling-
ton, North Carolina, Catawba Col-
lege football coach Presnell Mull
found that the field goal is not
the offensive weapon it's cracked
up to be.
Mull's team was leading Elon
College 12-7 and had the ball on
Elon's 11-yard line, fourth downi
and goal to go, with 15 seconds
left in the game.'
Should Have Run Clock Out
Catawba tried a field goal but'
the kick was wide, and Elton
quarterback George Wooten took
the ball in his own end zone and
raced 108 yards for the tbuchdown
that gave Elton a 13-12 victory.
Two weeks ago Navy star Joe
Bellino became a barber after a
bet he made with the Academy's
regular hairclipper. Bellino bet the
doubting barber that the Middies
would beat the Air Force Academy
by 30 points and that he would
score three touchdowns, with the
loser being at the other's mercy
in the barber's chair.
Another Perry Como?
Navy beat the Air Force 35-3
and Bellino scored three touch-
downs, much to the delight of over
50 Midshipmen who watched him
shear off half of his adversary's
mustache and shave his head.
Ben Schwartzwalder, coach of
Syracuse's national champions,
seems to have listened to Casey
Stengel too much. Asked about
his team Schwartzwalder replied,
"We're not a smart team any
more. We make all the mistakes
in the book-fumble, blow assign-
ments, drop passes. Last year the
boys were outwardly casual but
inwardly ready to do business.
This year they're outwardly cas-
ual and inwardly casual." What's
that again?
Don't Drop Him
Denver football coach John
Roning has prepared his team
for anything that might happen,
even a victory. Roning has spent
at least part of two practice ses-
sions instructing his team-on how
to carry him off the field.
The junior colleges are even
getting into the act. Out in Cali-
fornia the South Central Junior
College Association announces that
it will launch an investigation of
Palo Verde JC.
It seems that the college has
an enrollment of only 180 stu-
dents, but a football team .that
boasts 32 players, including 16
Pennsylvanians, 10 Arizonians, a
Hoosier, a Texan, and only four
players from California.
Ittust Get Hot
To make things a little more
unusual, Palo Verde is located in
Blyth, a rather forlorn little town
in the middle of the Mohave
desert, where the temperature
reaches 120 in the summer and
rarely below 90 during the day In
the winter.
Probably the most satisfying ex-
perience of the season belongs to
Ted Urness, a 205-pound guard on
the Arizona football team. As the
team was flying home after their
game with Colorado a bolt of
lightining flicked the wing and
sent the passengers into a state
of confusion.
When order was restored Urness
was found perched on the lap of
a pretty stewardess.
