PITTSBURGH (IP)—Pitching and power, the twin keys
to a pennant last year, got the Milwaukee Braves off to a
running start yesterday with an 8-0 victory over the Pitts
burgh Pirates in their National League opener.
Left-hander Warfen Spahn choked off two early Pitts-'
burgt threats and breezed to the
firmh with his 44th major league
Shutout, In the second, the Pir
ates loaded the bases but Spahn
got Bob Friend on a fly to short
center and then fanned Bill Vir
don
In the third, Bob Clemente led
off with a double, but was unable
to score when Ed Matthews made
a great stop on a single by Don
Hoak and Spahn struck out Bill
Mazeroski.
Big Eddie Mathews was the
power man, booming a solid
homer into the upper right
field stands for two runs that
broke a scoreless deadlock in
the sixth. From that point the
Braves won handily, adding two
more runs in the seventh ansi
four in a long eighth inning
rally.

DETROIT (TPA Nellie Fox hit
a 2-out, 2-run home run in the
14th inning yesterday, and gave
the Chicago White Sox a 9-7 vic
tory over the Detroit Tigers in a
marathon American League open
er.
The peppery little second base
man, who failed to hit a home
run in 623 at-bats last season,
connected against Don Mossi af
ter Sam Esposito lined a 2-out
single to left field.
It was Fox's fifth base hit in
seven official trips in the contest
that lasted 4 hours 25 minutes.
The game was only one inning
short of tying the record for the
longest opening game in baseball
history. Walter Johnson pitched 15
innings for the Washington Sena
tors and beat the Philadelphia
Athletics 1-0 on April 13, 1926.
The two teams used 43 play
ers, only one short of the Amer
ican League record set by New
York and Boston in the 1956
season.
Gerry Staley, sixth of seven
Chicago pitchers, was the win
ner. Mossi, fifth Tiger pitcher,
took the loss.

MATT-erema-FACT
Contact sports have alweys been popular with American
crowds—except one, lacrosse. And that seems odd from this
angle because lacrosse is one of the hardest contact sports in
existence and has the lowest rating on the House Un-American
Activities list.
In fact( it's as American as the Indians (who originated it)

n Beaver Field. It starts at
p.m. only took an average of four shots
per period.
In past years. this writer took
in the games for two reasons•
1— The tough grueling contact
that features more vicious block
ing than even football (and there
are far fewer pads) and, 2—l had
to—it was my beat.
But the factor that will draw
me to Beaver Field this after- 1
noon is that this contest looks like ,
the best lacrosse match in my'
four years here
The opponent, Navy, is annual-I
ly in the top of the nationaF
ratings each year. In fact, in past!
years this game was always con-I
sidered a "set-up"--for Navy. The:
Lion teams that faced the Middies!
in the past had as their top am-1
bition to hold down the score. Not ;
so today.
Coach Bernie Baer's aggres- I
sive talent search is beginning
to pay off in the form of ex
perienced stickhandlers and
tough defensemen.
Baer, who has been emphasiz-,
ing defense this year, has a start
' ing unit of defensemen and mid
fielders that averages 193 pounds.
And none of them can he con
sidered slow.
In Baer's own words, "This is
a tough, powerful defense. It's
quite capable of slamming any
1 team around." They showed the
fans that last week against Loy
lola.
In explaining his defensive
"philosophy," Baer feels a strong
defense will overpower the op
ponents and get the ball to the
offense, giving them the oppor
tunity to shoot more.
The philosophy paid off last

Associate Sports Editor
Another factor that usually
overtips the scales of balance is
Navy's superior condition. But
Baer feels the Lions are at least
the Middies equal in this de
partment.
"Some of the boys were just
getting their second wind in the
fourth quarter last week." Baer
stated, "And that's a good sign
of then• condition to me"
Baer also has enough good mid
fielders that he was able to
switch Johnny Behne to his high
school position of attack Last
v eek Behne scored eight goals,
one short of the Penn State rec
ord for one game.
Baer is so heavy on imdfielders
that Dick Weeden, who lettered
last - year, is only on the third
midfield trio.
The player that stands out
at midfield is junior Bob Swan
son, who was ineligible last
year. "Swanny" had three goals
in the opener but is even more
valuable as the team's top play
maker.
The three big boys on defense
include former gridders Dick Dill,
Andy Moconyi and Dave Erwin.
