6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNI Wednesday, October 2,1968 Autry back next year Don Autry, the KU tailback who suffered a broken leg in the Indiana game, should be able to play football next fall, the team physician said yesterday. "There is no indication that he will have any deformity in his leg." Dr. John L. Barton said. The Pasadena, Calif., athlete will miss the rest of this season and will not be able to move about comfortably for six to 10 weeks, the doctor said. Autry was transferred from Watkins Hospital to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City yesterday. His attending physician there, Dr. Leonard F. Peltier, will re-set his leg today. Dr. Peltier, the head of the department of orthopedic surgery at the Medical Center, did not move Autry from Watkins until the swelling of his right leg subsided, the team physician said. Two bones in Autry's right leg were broken when an Indiana player "threw himself at Autry's legs." the team physician said. "I would imagine he would be dismissed from the Med Center on crutches in a couple of days," Dr. Barton said. While at Watkins Hospital, "Autry was a bit depressed to be stuck away in a hospital away from his friends," Dr. Barton said. Juggled line-up takes spotlight ST. LOUIS (UPI) - Quiet Mayo Smith, usually labeled as a colorless, push-button manager, suddenly became the man on the spot in the 1968 World Series with a bold move that even overshadowed the long-awaited Bob Gibson and Denny McLain pitching duel. "It's not a case of Kaline being here for 16 years or anything like that," Smith claims, "I just want to put the best team I can on the field against the Cards and I want an extra bat in the lineup." When the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals opened the Series today at Busch Memorial Stadium—the first series between the two clubs since the celebrated meeting in 1934—especially noticeable was Smith's switch of Mickey Stanley from centerfield shortstop to insert Al Kaline in the lineup. Smith denied the move was a sentimental gesture for Kaline, who has toiled for the Tigers for 16 seasons without ever seeing a World Series game, much less playing in one. Whether or not it was a "sentimental gesture," it was certainly a daring move for Smith. The first game was set to start at 1 p.m. CDT after Frank Sinatra sang the national anthem. The second game will be played tomorrow and the series switches to Detroit for the third game Saturday. But if Stanley fields well and a Kaline hit wins it, he'll look like a genius. The Gibson-McLain pitching duel ranks among the best in series' history. Gibson, the only man ever to win the seventh game of two different World Series, compiled a 1.12 ERA this season—the best in National League history—and posted a 22-9 record. It's expected to be Mickey Lolich and Nelson Briles in the second game with Earl Wilson and Ray Washburn the likely starters in the Detroit opener. McLain, who had never pitched in a series before, became the majors' first 30-game winner since 1934 with the 31-6 mark. He had a 1.96 ERA this season. The oddsmakers made St. Louis an 8-to-5 favorite to win both the first game today and the entire series. World Series starters Rodgers also expressed concern with New Mexico quarterback Terry Stone, the nation's No. 1 passer last year. Stone completed 160 of 336 passes for 1,946 yards and nine touchdowns. Rodgers said team physician, Dr. John Barton, reports that linebacker Mickey Doyle, side-lined with a sprained right ankle suffered in the Indiana game, will resume contact work todav But Rodgers noted: "They haven't thrown that much. Instead they've been concentrating on a balanced attack and have been improving the last three games." The Lobos lost the last nine games of the 1967 season and have dropped three straight this fall. STARTING LINE-UPS "I don't think anyone in football is a patsy," said Rodgers following yesterday's practice. "We're not expecting a mental letdown."
