polo grounds last Thursday.

Durocher said upon his return to
N<w York. “I am very anxious to
get back to work."
Durocher picks up the Giants’
reins today from Frankie Frisch,
who has been acting manager. The
Giants play Pittsburgh iif an aft
ernoon game. >
Durocher^showed no concern qver
the simple-assault summons which
BoySen’s attorney promised would
be served as quickly as possible.
The summons is returnable in up
per Manhattan court Monday.
The lawyer, Benjamin H. Cha-
sin, said he planned to proceed
with the prosecution. He said he
didn’t believe Durocher’s rein
statement would have any legal
bearing on the case.
He added he was “very happy”
the Giants manager was given a
clean bill of health by Chandler.
Boysen, a 22-year-old Puerto
Rican, contends that Durocher
punched him and knocked him to
the ground as the teams were leav
ing the field from the game at the
polo grounds, won by Brooklyn,
15-2. Durocher denies it.

Texas AAM has four pole vaul*

serve mention from this quarief
for the fine ihowiag they jave
made in meets this year.
I l.evoy HmleMaa
Leroy.Bodeman Mm Aransas
Puss ha* the highest met! mark
of the fourMMflMi year. He re
corded a 13 foot vault in the dual
meet with Texas ^University to
take first place away from the
Longhorn favorite, ! Bob Walters.'
Bodeman, who ends his eligibility
this year, has also la tie for first
place at Corpus Christi and a tie
for fourth at Pert Worth this year.
As a senior in high school, Leroy
took first place in his district in
pole vault and a third in regional.
As a freshman at AAM during the
1946 season, he placed third in the
conference meet, fourth at Fort
Worth, and second in dual meets
with Texas University, LSU, aad
Baylor.
During the 1947 season, he took
first place in the conference meet,
first at Corpus Christi, and second
at Fort Worth. Bad luck caught up
with him in the Border CMympic
at the beginning of the 1948 sea
son. He suffered a sprained ankle
at that meet and was out for most
of the remainder of the year. Leroy
showed the old Aggie spirit how
ever, entering two meets with a
heavily taped anklg. These meets
were dual contests "with Rice and
Texas, in both of which he went
up for a secOnd place.
Jack Simpson
Jack Simpson, who has a 12’6"
leap to his credit this year, veems
to be the most versatile of the
four. As a senior at Woodrow Wil
son in Dallas, he placed first at
the state meet in the broad jump
und third in pole vault. That same
year, he annexed the state AAV
title in high jump and took second
in iwie vault at the same meet.
