The Yanks treat him like a step-child—still he pro- luces every time they have him in a game. After dropping two to the In dians, the Yanks picked up Howard for the Detroit series. Manager Casey Stengel even went so (ar as to drop Yogi Ber ra from the cleanup spot and insert Howard instead. Elston rewarded the “daring” thinking by personally delivering the game to tbe Yankees in the ninth with two out. This is how it happened. The Yanks were trailing 6-4 going into the ninth inning and look like goners. Eddie Robinson got a pinch-hit single with one out. But Hank Bauer made the second out. With Joe Collins on first via a pass, Mickey Mantle deliverel and one run came in. A new pitcher came in for De troit—^A1 Aber. Howard con nected on the second pitch—dri ving in two runs with a triple. Elston had tripled previously in the third inning causing the Yankees to go ahead. Hitting a neat .400, it’s a mystery to most how Stengel will contrive to keep him out of the lineup. Howard doesn’t have to replace Berra. He played left field against Detroit and handled ° it most capably. Plans Completed For l(th Annual DiamondClassic GREENSBORO .

Big" Johnnie Jiggetts, Earl "Pat" Garrett, Star Gridiron Players, Lost To Fayetteville Next Year FAYETTEVILLE With the announcement this week that two of his VBronco regulars”, each of whom are four-year letter men on his gridiron outfit, are scheduled to graduate on May 31, Heal Coach William “Gus” Gaines closed up like a clam, looked away in to space and then moved on. Replacements were on his mind. Each of these has held down a varsity berth for four years and has been in the thick of the fight in almost every game on the card throughout the four- year period. “Big” Johnnie Jiggetts, right tackle, and a product of the Fifth Avenue High School in Pittsburgh, stands over six feet and tips the scales at 237 pounds. As a main cog in the Bronco forward wall, he was Bronco captain during the 1954 season and his performance won for him “honorable men tion” in the C.I.A.A. circuit. Jiggetts is also president of the varsity club and of the Dormi tory Association. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius R. Jig getts of Pittsburgh, Pennsjrl- vania. Runningmate to Jiggetts is one of the finest backs Fayette ville has had, in several years, Earl “Pat” Garrett, who has quarterbacked his Bronco team mates to many a victory and won for himself the honor of captain and all-E.I.A.C. back in 1953. He is a product of the Montclair (New Jersey) Higli School. Garrett has been active off the gridiron too. He is Keep er of Records and Seals for the campus chapter of the Omega Fraternity, treasurer of the var sity club, the school’s most out standing athlete in 1953 and re cently he was chosen “Man of the Year" at the college. He hails from Montclair, New Jer sey. Both are members of the col lege choir and of the Student Council and both look forward immediately to teaching subse quently to graduate work lead ing to the Master’s degree.
