Yankees Would Like | To Forget Past Season By ERIC WESSLBY Times Sports Editor Another season will come to an end for most major league teams tomorrow. For some, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants and Baltimore Orioles for example, it was a good season. Others, such as the New York. Yankees and Chicago Cubs, would just as soon forget the whole year. It's been a rough season on Yankee supporters, although they are hard to find at the present time. THIS IS the time of year most Yankee followers usually reserve for holidays, what with the World Series coming along. Only the most optimistic fan reserved the next two weeks this year, however, and from all indications, it might be a.few years before Ralph Houk and company are back in the classic. There's a big rebuilding job ahead for the Yankees, and the club isn't as well stocked on the farm as it once was. There was a time when the Yankees could go out and get established stars mainly by using the surplus talent from the farm system, but they now need everyone themselves. YANKEES MUST start rebuilding in the infield, and in the outfield. Second baseman Bobby Richardson will go into retirement following tomorrow's action, and that strength up the middle is still important in baseball. Mickey Mantle is far from healthy and except for a brief fling early in the summer, when can you recall Mantle on a hot streak? And Roger Maris is reportedly heading for other pastures, if the Yanks can get someone to take him. THE YANKEE breakup goes. back to major league expansion, with. some of the newer clubs grabbing some of that famed bench strength. But the club's biggest loss probably came when Casey Stengel and George Weiss departed to join the New York Mets of the National League. Granted, Stengel is gone from baseball, but when the Yankees "retired" the two because they were too old, their club's image suffered. Weiss was one of the best general managers in the business, and he always had an ace in the hole for Stengel. ALTHOUGH BOSTON Red Sox and Kansas City Ath- letics will finish among the-also-rans again, other clubs are casting envious eyes in their direction. Both teams have a fine crop of young players, the Athletics on the mound, and it's only a matter of a year or two before they'll be in the thick of the pennant fight. The Red Sox reportedly made a mistake in firing Billy Herman, who wasn't too popular with some of the team's stars, but I believe they made a wise choice in replacing Herman with Dick Williams. HERMAN APPARENTLY wasn't able to communicate with the players, but Williams has had tremendous suc- cess with young players the past two seasons. Most of them know him, and he knows them. If some of the ailing Red Sox pitchers can live up to form, they'll be tough next year. Williams could possibly have a club with an average age of 23, with Carl Yastrzemski the "old- timer" at 27. Infielders George Scott, Mike Andrews, Joe Foy and Rico Petrocelli are all under 25, as are out- fielders Tony Conigliaro and Reggie Smith. MANY PEOPLE think Detroit Tigers might have been wight ap with Beltimere Orioles all season had they been ahie in reiaia a sianager fer the complete aeason. Man- ager Chuck Dressen had nardiy siaried the season he suffered a heart attack, and subsequently died, acting manager Bob Swift soon followed Dressen to the sidelines, suffering from cancer. The club has been casting about looking for a new field general, but so far has drawn nothing but blanks. Don't be surprised if Johnny Keane winds up there. The Yankees proved it wasn't his fault, playing just as badly during the last half of the season for Houk as they did earlier for Keane. It looks like a talkative off-season for baseball, with many big trades in the offing.

He and his team had just lost their second game in the Oshawa senior football sched- ule, this time to Central Col- legiate. O'Neill's fast backfield just wasn't enough as the dropped jans. "We just lacked the drive," "It was a game round," John Erno, poo Me the Donevan squad, said after the game, 'the was = seb ad downs around the midfield stripe. McLaughlin's Salter went over from the halfback slot, Geopiie a pivvivus < a alty on the 20, and Trojans went ahead 124 late in the game. With the fourth quarter end- ing and McLaughlin's coach Gerald Smialek slightly per- turbed at the way Donevan had improved, McLaugh- lin kicked a single point from the 40 yard line. "I knew we could beat them," Smialek said, "but I was worried there for a while." in the preceeding junior game, Eastdale juniors upset McLaughlin 32-6, Under the direction of Stan Marchut, Eastdale were victorious for the first time in their history. The game marked the first time the team had worn complete football equipment and the first time they had had body con- tact with any football team. Wiley said after the game. In the other game on Fri- day's twinbill at Kinsmen, Mc- Laughlin seniors easily handled Donevan Collegiate 13-0. John Rajkovic handled the quarterback duties for Central. Besides keeping O'Neill dee fenders on their toes all even- ing, he scored six points; kick- ing two converts, a single and a field goal and throwing two Major passes. Rajkovic kept the ball in the air most of the game, hurling touchdown passes to Bill Lang- ley and Terry Lee. Rick Sko- rayko got the other six-pointer on a handoff from Rajkovic. Although Central, with their end sweeps and. flat passes were too much for O'Neill, it was quarterback Rajkovic who provided the winning punch. In the first quarter, Langley gathered in a Rajkovic pass for the first Central major. In the second quarter, Lee made a spectacular catch from Raj- kovic to increase the lead. The convert was good and the score was 15-0. O'Neill came within scoring distance only once during the game.
