LITTLE GUY LEADS IN
GROUND GAINING
by The Associated Press
'Footiballl. not to ibe outdone
by the world series, has come
up with the second almost un
believable sports happening
of the week.
As incredible as the Dod
gers’ triumph over the Yankees
is the fact that a little guy —
and an Ivy league player to
boot — is the leading ground
gainer in major college foot
ball so far this season.
Statistics issued today by
the N0CA service bureau show
that Claude Benham, 5-foot-8,
170 pound Columbia quarter
back, is the major college in
dividual leader both in pass
ing and total offense.
Benham. who provides most
of Columbia’s offense, is a 60
minute player, and in two
games he has handled the ball
— either passing or running
— on 79 plays.
In two games the stubby
Columbia junior from Ports
mouth, Va., has racked up 397
yards on 79 plays. His 59 pass
attempts, 27 completions and
363 yards through the air are
high for the season to date.

Infant intrigued
by black bear
THURMAN. N. Y. (JP) Char-1
ley Bills, 14 months, is not
likely to remember the day
the black bear visited him.!
His mother will never forget
it.
Mrs. Edith Bills said Char
ley suddenly began jabbering
with enthusiasm in his play
pen on the (porch of their
house in an isolated section of j
this Adirondack community
the other day.
She found him “sticking his
finger out through the play'
pen slats, smiling and cooing.”
A big black bear was standing
nearby on its hind legs.
“I gr&bbed up the baby and
ran into the house and into a
bedroom and slammed the
door,” she said. “The baby
didn’t seem to be scared at all
just wondering what ailed
me.” ,
The bear joist plodded away.
