Eagles Win Opener
Murphy’s Layup At Buzzer
Gives Griffin 44-42 Win
Harry Murphy made a driv
ing layup at the buzzer here
Tuesday night to give the Grif
fin Eagles a come-from-behind
44-42 victory over the Milner
Falcons.
It was a sensational finish to a
game that saw Milner in charge
31 minutes and 59 seconds out
of the official 32 minute game.
Griffin's only lead in the se
cond half was the brief moment
it took Murphy's layup to drop
through the goal.
Some Milner fans thought the
buzzer went off before the shot.
However, officials ruled other
wise. They called the goal
good. It broke the 42-42 tie.
Milner carried a three point
lead (36-33) into the final period.
John Milner closed the gap to
S 6-35 with 4:13 left.
The Falcons had a 39-37 lead

Kentucky Has Eyes
Over Jerry Claiborne
SOUTHERN SIDELINES j
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPD—The “Gob
blers” of Virginia Teph have
come a long way in recent
years on the prodding of Jerry
Claiborne — one of the lesser
heralded but more successful
former assistants of Bear Bry
ant.
Football at the agriculturally
oriented college, located in the
back hills of the Old Dominion
not far from the West Virginia
line, was on a break-even basis
in the years just before Clai
borne left the Bear and went to
Blacksburg (Va.).
In the 69 years that Virginia
Tech played football before Clai
burne showed up, the Gobblers
were invited to just one post
season game. That W’as in 1946
and to the Sun Bowl which in
those days was only a flickering
light on the bowl scene.
Sort of Record
Virginia Tech may have set
some sort of a record that year.
What other team has earned a
bowl invitation while winning
only three games all season.
That’s right—three!
Tech, which was to lose 18-6
to Cincinnati in the Sun Bowl,
had a 3-3-3 record that year but
was well-regarded from the
start for opening with a tie with

That was a far cry from the

put together before going to the
Liberty Bowl and losing, 14-7,
to Miami (Fla.); and pretty far
from the 7-3 record posted by
this year’s Liberty Bowl-bound
squad.
Claiborne’s reputation would
take a giant step forward if the
Gobblers can knock off Ole Miss

also lend impetus to two widely
circulated reports that have
been keeping Virginia Tech
alumni in a nervous state.

Nats Sold For
$lO-Million
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sport Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—
Robert Short, the new owner of
the Washington Senators, didn’t
come to play.
He has come, in his own
words, to convert the American
League’s cellar-dwellers into an
“artistic and financial success”
and if those working for him
can’t help him do it, again in
his own words, “some changes
will be made.”
Short said he paid “in the area
of $lO-million” for the long down
trodden Senators. He knows
what he’s getting into.
“We’re starting with a very
poor second division club and an
even worse financial club,” said
the 50-year old Democratic
national committee treasurer
and former owner of the Los
Angeles Lakers basketball
team. “I don’t Intend to let it
stay that way.”
Short, who sold the Lakers to
Jack Kent Cooke for a record
$5.1 million, said he had no
intention of selling the Senators
strictly for profit, moving them
or getting rid of either general
manager George Selkirk or field
manager Jim Lemon—that is
unless he has to.
Selkirk and Lemon both were
seated in the room listening
intently as Short talked to
newsmen here in the hotel
which is headquarters for the

“I did not buy the team to
move it,” said Short. “Nor do I
have any intention of selling it.
Insofar as the team’s general
manager and field manager are
concerned I am not planning
any immediate changes. But I
will not be bashful about
making any changes if they are
indicated to make the Senators
an artistic and financial suc
cess.
Short purchased the Senators
from the estate of the late
James Johnston, who died a
year ago, and purchase of the
club is contingent upon the
approval of the American
League and the probate court.
Bob Hope, the popular TV and
movie comedian and minor
stockholder in the Cleveland
Indians, bid $9-million for the
Senators and thought he had
them as late as Monday
afternoon.
In Los Angeles, Hope said he
was “shocked and disappointed”
over the fact he didn’t get the
club.
