Like Maxim, Slade relies on his shifty Style and cleverness. “Floyd will be too fast for him,” said Cus D'Amato, Patterson’s manager. “I know that Slade’s cute but Floyd has learned to fight cuties. The kid’s better than ever now and should hit too hard and fast for Slade.” “T should beat him on maneuver- ability and my experience,” said Slade. “I'l move in and out on him.

Richards Says Yankees Are Contenders By WILLIAM HARWOOD BALTIMORE @—“I think we can now be automatically consid- ered first-division challengers.” That's confident Paul Richards’ appraisal of the million-dollar trade he pulled with the New York Yankees ysesterday. é “As far as I’m concerned, this puts us in business,” the Oriole manager-general manager said be- fore he left for Chicago, where he hopes to do some more swapping. The big deal brought veteran outfielder Gene Woodling, short- stop Willie Miranda and catcher Hal ‘Smith to Baltimore along with pitchers Harry Byrd and Jim Mc- Donald, first baseman-catcher Gus Tirandos and three others to be named later, For these nine Yankees, Rich- | ards had to pay dearly—some fans think too dearly—by passing to New York young Bob Turley, fire- balling strikeout king of the Ameri- | can League; hard-luck pitcher Don | Larsen; and colorful Billy Hunter, who made the near impossible | plays at shortstop but missed the | easy ones. Richards, who admitted it was ; “tough ... to trade off a guy like | Turley, who could be a great pitch- jer,” said there was no way of improving the Orioles without putting the 2¢-year-old speedball Pitcher in the deal. “Frankly, you're not going to win the pennant with one baliplayer like Turley,” > He said acquisition of the Yankee sixsome “might put us two years ahead on our farm system.” He thinks the trade already gives the | Birds a team he could field if he had to that would be better than the one that closed the past season, in sevenh place, with 100 defeats.

(—Miami’s potent Hurricanes and Alabama’s slum- bering Red Elephants meet Fri- day night in the Orange Bowl be- fore what is expected to be the South's biggest football crowd of the season—close to 60,000 fans. The Hurricanes, wno won six straight before Auburn upset them, 1413, in Birmingham two weeks ago, are 13% point favorites over the inept Alabama squad which hasn’t scored in 14 quarters and lost to Georgia Tech last Saturday, 20-0. Alabama went through scoreless ties with Georgia and Tulane be- fore ‘the Tech game, and the Hur- rieane coaching staff hopes the beefy Crimson Tide doesn’t get hot for this one. “If they ever score, liable to go berserk,” said Miami Coach Andy Gustafson, who! warned his squad, ‘we'll have to be at our very best, or the same} thing that happened against Au- burn will happen again.” What happened against Auburn} was that Miami had a 13-point lead with 11 minutes left to play when the Plainsmen struck for two touchdowns and won the ball game. Alabama, usually a tough team in November, is still nursing bruises from the Georgia Tech game, and Coach Red Drew didn’t even bring along fullback Jerry Chiapparelli and end Paul Donald- son. Ed Culpepper, 238-pound tack- le, also is on the injury list but may see limited action. Kick-off time is 8 p.m. (EST).

Chatta- nooga’s logses have been to un- beaten teams—including Oakridge, Tennessee’s. number one high school eleven—the team that beat Chattanooga by two touchdowns, ‘ Short complimented Horace 0’- Bryant on the high school’s “‘good looking field.” He answered several questions about Chattanooga’s single wing attack and explained that one rea- son the team was coming here was because Chattanooga Central—the city’s perennial football power- house—did a lot of travelling. ““The students at Chattanooga’s seven junior high schools, like most kids, want to go to the high school that offers them the most and trips are something they look forward to.” Short also gave a brief run down on the coaching staff at Chattanooga City High and said they were all “good” and had de- at schools where they had coach- ed before coming to Chattanooga.

If Michigan wins, the two teams end up with identical 6-1 league records and a confer- ence vote would have to be taken to decide the Rose Bowl entry. In the Far West, UCLA, also un- beaten and No, 2 in the rankings, faces Southern California. UCLA competed in the Rose Bowl last season and isn’t eligible to return this Jan. 1. Regardless of the out- come of Saturday’s game, USC gets the nod as the Pacific Coast entrant. ‘ Other top-flight games which will have a direct bearing on Jan. 1 pairings include Baylor and South- ern Methodist at Dallas, Nebras- ka and Oklahoma at Norman, Okla., Kansas State and Colorado at Boulder, Colo., South Carolina and Duke at Durham, N. C., and George Washington and Maryland at College Park, Md. Southern Methodist has the in- Side track on the Southwest Con- ference crown and the Cotton Bowl host on New Year’s Day.

If Kansas State beats Colorado while Oklahoma disposes of Ne- braska, both Kansas State and Ne- braska would finish with 4-2 league marks, Kansas State would then be accorded the Orange Bowl se- lection because the Wildcats turned back the Cornhuskers earlier in the season.
