Seldom, surely, has a team of national standing in any sport fall- en so flatly upon its face within so brief a period. As of this week, the 1954 Spartans have won just one game, a 60 decision over al- most equally battered Wisconsin, while taking pastings from Iowa, Indiana, Notre Dame, Purdue and; Minnesota. All this has caused a certain amount of talk in football circles. How could a team which was picked to finish sixth among the nation’s gridiron goliaths in the preseason Assocated Press poll of the experts turn out to be so harmless? It was known, of course, that Munn had stepped up to the ath- letic director's job, but it also was recognized that his coaching suc- cessor, Duffy Daugherty, was a capable man who had been one of Munn’s assistants long enough to be thoroughly familiar with the |other schools used the probation angle to sway lads away from en- | rolling at East Lansing, recruiters | said. It caught up with MSC this year. “Additionally, State is minus a large quantity of big men, the kind needed for today’s one-platoon football. The small, quick lads that won so many games for State in the two-platoon era are out- dated. “In coaching, State was caught with an inexperienced staff. Six of the seven assistants are nearly or fully newcomers to college coaching. “Measured in terms of the op- position, State has found it’s a long road from William and Mary to Minnesota. When Biggie Munn won | 28 straight games for MSC over a three-year period, the opposition included only six Big Ten teams and quite a few of the William and Mary class. This season Daugher- ty already has faced five Big Ten teams in his first six games and has one more to go.” Yankees Sign Berra But They Still Worry About Reynolds By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK # — The New York Yankees, having cleared one ob-| stacle with the surprise early sign- ing of Yogi Berra, still had plenty to worry about today. Number one item in the head- ache department was the status of Allie Reynolds, highest paid pitch- er on the club. Number two was the general pitching shortage which General Manager George Weiss admitted has him ‘gravely concerned.” “We need starting pitchers,” Weiss told reporters Wednesday. “We're going to the minor league convention in Houston at the end of this month with the specific pur- Pose of trying to deal for one or two starting pitchers. I intend to discuss this matter with Casey Stengel as soon as he returns from a hunting trip.” Weiss Distressed Weiss obviously was distressed over the unfortunate accident that befell Reynolds in Colorado Springs last Thursday. The star righthander received an 18-stitch cut on the index finger of his pitch- ing hand that may end his brilliant career. Reynolds, who had been unde- cided anyway whether to pitch for the Yankees again next year or de- for several days, at least. Weiss’ gloom was somewhat dis- pelled by the early signing of Berra. Baseball’s outstanding cat cher, who joined the Yankee or. ganization at Norfolk, Va., in 1943 at $90 a month, became the highest paid catcher in baseball, signing for a reported figure ranging “‘be- tween $45,000 and $50,000.” No Fooling Around “Why fool around?” Berra ex- plained his early signing. “Mr. Weiss offered me a good contract. I got a good raise. It’s the most money I ever made.” Weiss indicated that Berra couid become the highest salaried Yan- kee in 1955, “We haven’t mailed out con- tracts yet,” he explained. “I ran into Yogi at a nights ago and made him a propo- sition, He agreed and we decided not to hold it up, “Until all the contracts are |be the highest paid Yankee. I'd the club more deserving.” Berra batted .307 and drove in } 125 runs while catching in 149 of jthe 151 games he participated in for one of his best seasons in the majors even though the club failed vote full time to his oil interests, was not expected to know his fate to win the pennant for the first time in six years, Flu Bug And Fumblitis Hits SE Conference By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Besides the traditional fretting over injuries, two other ills de. ascended on some Southeastern Conference football coaches today- flu Bugs and fumbleitis. gates for a lengthy scrimmage. may prevent center Larry Morris | Spies reported the Gators were | mapping some attack tricks fea- turing their swift halfbacks.

John P. Crisconi, retired Phila- |delphia automobile dealer, an- nounced he and Mort Liebman, aa- other member of the original eight-man group, had visited Con- nie Mack Sr. and his wife yes- terday. Crisconi said when he and Lieb- man, with their attorney, Sam Goldberg, arrived at the Mack | apartment, Johnson was already | there, apparently making an effort to obtain signatures on a sale agreement. The syndicate spokesman said he }and Liebman pulled out checks totaling $604,000 and offered to buy | Connie Mack’s share in the A's. | They also agreed to “buy out or | keep” Connie Mack’s two sons, | Roy and Earle. Roy has been the chief thorn in developments to date, blowing hot toward the John son forces at one point and report- edly favoring the syndicate at an- other, The syndicate previously had of- fered to retain Roy Mack in the front office of the club by virtue of a one-ninth interest in the club. The offer to retain Earle was new.

Miami's pass interception record is not the result of just one or two ball hawks — 12 different Hurri- canes have intercepted passes thus far this fall. An interception is the signal for a dazzling display of downfield blocking on the part of the offense minded Hurricanes.
