Political crisis in
Greece following
death of Papagos
ATHENS </P) Greece faced
the possibility of a serious jpo
litioal crisis today after the
death of premier Alexander
Papagos, the national hero.
Field marshal Papagos. 71-j
year-old victor over the Ital
ians in World War II and the
communists in 1949, died last
night of heart exhaustion fol
lowing a lung hemorrhage.
The marshal had been con
fined to his home since Janu
ary with gastric troubles re
sulting from World War II im
prisonment in a nazi camp.
.Members of the premier’s
conservative Greek rally par
ty planned to meet after his
funeral Friday in an effort to
reweld party unity and settle
on a successor.
The party, a coalition of
various political groups, had
come near to dissolution in the
months since the premier’s ill
ness robbed it of much of his
unifying influence. Only yes
terday Papagos had nominat
ed foreign minister Stephen
Stephanopoulos to be provis
ional premier during his ill
ness but this automatically
ceased iwith the premier’s
death.

NEW YORK (/P) The Dodg
ers beat Yankee Stadium yester
day.
Beat the awesome expanses,
the lights and shadows, the ma
jectic stands, and, iby no means
least, the men in the wdiite,
pin-stripe uniforms, all mak
ing for a combination wThieh in
past years has 'been a reciipe for
! futility.
They beat the one team sup
posedly unbeatable in such a
situation, the money team, to
win the first World Series ever
owned Iby the Borough of Brook
lyn.
They beat it by taking ad- t
vantage of its misplays as the
great Yankees (usually take ad
vantage of the misplays of their
opponents. They beat it by
overcoming their own lapses.
They beat it by making plays

SINGLE WING TO FEATURE
COAST GAME FRIDAY
iby The Associated Press
Weekend football on the Pa
cific coast opens Friday night
at Los Angeles where the high
ly favored UCLA Bruins confi
dently appose Oregon State,
which has shut out Brigham
Young and Stanford.
Ronnie Know, brilliant UCLA
tailback who’s been sidelined
with a bruised shoulder, was
i passing to the mark Tuesday
in a no-Contact drill. Coach
Red Sanders said he’s looking
forward to the fracas ibecause
both the Bruins and the Beav
ers use the single wing.
Saturday, the Stanford In
, dians, upset victors over Ohio
State, go against Michigan
State at East Lansing. Michi
gan State coach Duffy Daugh
erty, whose squad lost a 14-7
tough one to Michigan said
the tilt “is going to be real
rough.”
USC’s co-captain, Marv
Goux, 180 pound center who
had a spinal disc removed last
summer and wears a brace, re
turned to practice yesterday.
He made tackle after tackle in
rough and tuimlble scrimmage.

The name of Johnny Podres
was spoken of with reverence
when there was any coherence
to the babbling in the streets
and pubs iand drawing rooms
over the river.
Here was a young man who,
for the second time in four
days, faced the most formidable
array of sluggers Casey Sten
gel could muster, and quelled
them.
He stood there on the mound
in the dusty circle, and no solo
ist in the stpotlight of a vast
auditorium ever was more a
lone. He faced them unawed
and undismayed, even when
such discouraging incidents as

Out of the game for sure are
tackle Don Tronstein 'and quar
tertback Joe Contestable. Half
a dozen others are on the hurt j
list but*may come around to
playing shape.
The Cougars’ injury roster
is small but they also have a
pair “disabled and out”: cen
ter John Clark with a broken
leg and fullback Bob Miller
with a torn ligament. Rain
chased the squad into the field
house Tuesday.

Idaho Vandals braved the rain
storm to drill for their home
coming game against College
of the Pacific. Coach Skip Stah
ley said his changes might as
well get used to the rain be
cause they’ll probably have it
when- they meet the Tigers,
who beat them. 13-0 last year.
The Tiger squad is faster and
more rugged than the 1954 edi
tion, scout Gene Stauiber
warned.
The Oregon Ducks plan on
lots of passing in their first
home football game of the sea
son, an intersectional with
Colorado.
Coach Dal Ward of Colorado
drilled his men hard on pass
defense and experimented
with some lineup juggling.
His squad has not been scored
on in1 two. games but has ap
peared sluggish.
