q Recommends 6
l Suspensions
*1*4
Chicago, Aug. 15—(AP) —
Declining to name names, the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association Council yesterday
recommended suspension of
six 1950 reported violators of the
NCAA’s controversial “sanity
code.”
The policy-making council, fol
lowing a weekend session here, also
reviewed the cases of five other
V suspected violators, but deferred
action until evidence is further
studied.
Foui' of these were said to be
on the verge of mending their
athletic fences to observe the code i
which places strict limits on fi
nancial aid to athletes.
The oouncjil’s recommendation |
of suspension must be submitted j
to the full NCAA convention in
Dallas, Tex., Jan. 10-13 and a
majority vote of the estimated |
312 members is necessary to
blacklist.
The council last weekend stud
ied eight suggested changes in
the code and recommended one
which it declined to identify for
presentation to the Dallas con
fab.
Recommended Five Revisions
Last April, a conference of
athletic commissioners, meeting
here, recommended five code re-
* visions, ranging from virtually no
change to full room and board
facilities for athletes. The code
now restricts financial aid to tui-
v tion only, on the basis of need.
Code critics claim this breeds sub
terfuge with good athletes still
getting good pay at schools with
affluent alumni.
This is the second time the
NCAA has put reported code vio
lators on the carpet. At the NCAA
convention in New York last Jan
uary, seven schools were cited as
violators and a vote on expulsion
was taken. It barely failed, 111
to 93, for the necessary two-thirds
margin for expulsion. However, on
recommended suspension, as will
come up at Dallas needs only
a bare majority to carry. Suspen
sion means the violators will be
boycotted from NCAA title meets
and schedules of other members
and a lack of a vote^n NCAA busi
ness.
Of the seven up for expulsion last
January, Boston College and Mary
land have been re-instated; the
y Citadel resigned; and Virginia,
Villanova, Virginia Military In
stitute and Virginia- Tech still are
not in good standing.
Davis Cup Netters
Chosen; Three Vets
New York, Aug. 15—CP)—Three
veterans—Ted Schroeder, Gardnar
Mulloy and Billy Talbert—and new
comer Tom Brown of San Francis
co, were named as the United
States Davis Cup team of 1950
yesterday.
The foursome will defend the
huge international tennis trophy
against the challenge of Australia
at Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 25-27.
It will be the fifth straight year
sinone play was resumed after
World War II that the same two
countries have fought for the cup,
with the U. S. the victor in the
first four. Last year the score was
4-1.
John H. Bishop, chairman of the
USLTA Davis Cup selection com-
* mittee, said Budge Patty, who has
homes both in Los Angeles and
Paris, would have been named to
the U. S. team except for his
'sprained ankle.
Patty, 1950 winner of the
Wimbledon championships, was
hurt Sunday in the final doubles
round at the Casino Club tourney
at Newport, R. I. He and Schroed-
cr were forced to default their
first round match at Bookline,
Mass., in the national doubles yes
terday.
Qualifiers from the College Station area for the
Junior Olympics meet which began yesterday in
Houston receive congratulations from pretty Car
olyn Sands of Franklin. The winners of the first
round were, left to right, Johnny Easterly, shot
put, from Franklin; Richard Stone, 100 yard dash,
from Navasota; Don Watson, 100 and 220 yard
dash in senior division, from Franklin; and Fred
die Anderson, 50 yard dash and boys’ singles,
from College Station.

Atmosphere Of Phillies
Training Camp Helpful
By WHITNEY MARTIN
New York, Aug. 15—CP)—It may
be no more significant than fish
in a fish market, but we some
times wonder if the astounding
success of the Philadelphia Phil
lies this year isn’t at least partly
due to the atmosphere of their
training camp.
No other camp is quite like that
Clearwater, Fla., spot where in a
verdant setting verdant young
whiz kids go through training
chores in the casual carefree man
ner of youngsters on a corner lot.
You get the idea that the whole
business is just fun.

Houston, Aug. 15—(A?)—Jerry
Witte’ slammed a ninth inning home
run here last night to give his
Houston Buffs a 3-2 victory over
the Fort Worth Cats, Houston’s
fourth straight win.

San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 15—(A 3 )
—Dallas and San Antonio traded
shutouts last night. Bob Buhl
blanked the Padres 4 to 0 on two
hits, then Frank (Porky) Biscan
tossed a three-hitter at the Eagles
to earn the Missions a 1 to 0 vic
tory.

Beaumont, Tex., Aug. 15—(A 5 )—
Beaumont’s Roughnecks exploded
for eight runs in the sixth inning
here last night to defeat the Okla
homa City Indians, 11-8, for their
second consecutive triumph in the
current series.

Shreveport, La., Aug. 15—(AP)—
Gerald “Red” Fahr kept seven
Tulsa hits well scattered last
night as he hurled Shreveport to
a 6-3 victory for the Sports’ sec
ond straight win over the Oilers.
It’s a Sunday school picnic, a
barn dance and a day at the beach
all rolled into one, and you catch
the spirit of it the moment you
walk into the big palm - fringed
park with its green fence and spot
the big boss, youthful Bob Car-
perttetr, ambling around in his
white slacks, chatting amiably with
anyone in his vicinity.
It’s that wdy all the way down
the line—a friendly, companion
able spirit. You catch it in talking
with public relations man Babe
Alexander, or road secretary Frank
Powell, or field manager Eddie
Sawyer.
No Barbed Wire Fences
There are no barbed wire fences
around. Figuratively speaking, of
course. The clubhouse, a low,
sprawling structure out along the
leftfield foul line, is as open as a
yawn to any male visitors, and
Sawyer’s private office is about
as private as Grand Central Sta
tion.
On any given day during an ex
hibition game you’ll see wives of
players and officials parked in
chairs in front of the clubhouse,
basking in the brilliant sun. Chil
dren romp around. A player not
immediately engaged in the game
might be playing catch with a six-
year-old lad.
On the clubhouse veranda are
cases of pop and milk, and boxes
of sandwiches. A Boston Red Sox
player, coming around the corner
of the building for the first time
arid taking in the scene—the wo
men and children, the refreshments,
the casual atmosphere—paused
with mouth agape.
“What is this?” he blurted.
“Looks like a beach.”
We aren’t insinuating that the
lads don’t study their baseball
lessons down there. They get
plenty of expert teaching, and when
they play the game they go all
out.
Maybe next year they’ll have a
roller coaster and hall of mirrors
down here. The carnival at
mosphere really seems to get re
sults.

Charles iBil
Crown Tonight
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 15—
(AP)—Ezzard Charles shoots
for the Joe Louis jackpot to
night when he risks his NBA-
heavyweight crown against
under Freddie Beshore at Mem
orial auditorium.
If Charles shows enough “Tiger”
and flattens the 5 to 1 challenger
inside the 15-round limit, he wins
a $500,000 September date with
Louis. An upset by Beshore would
scramble the situation.
With no radio and television,
Promoter Dewey Michaels counts
on a last minute sale to bring a
crowd of 10,000 and a gate of
$60,000. It may be less.
Ring time for the twice-post
poned indoor battle is 8:00 p. m.
(CST) with the weigh-in sche
duled for noon.
Beshore, a blond Pennsylvania
Dutchman from Harrisburg, Pa.
has trained long and hard for his
one “shot at the moon.” Injuries
to Charles postponed his big
chance twice, after some 700
rounds of training he’s as ready as
he’ll ever be.
A weaving, crouching body
puncher, Beshore will try to car
ry the fight to the counter-punch
ing champ. He and his manager,
Ralph Gold, admit their chances
improve as the fight goes on.
Beshore is a slow starter with
hopes of wearing down the champ
“after the eighth round.”
Jake Mintz, as always the loud
spokesman for Charles, said the
champ was going after a knockout
“as soon as he can.”
“Ezzy knows the spot he’s in,”
said Manager Mintz, “he knows
he needs to win sensational. He’s
mean and ready. That layoff made
him realize what it means to be
champion.”
CS Softballers
Defeat Hearne
For First Win
College Station’s Pee Wee
softball team rose from the
ranks of defeat over the
weekend as they trounced the
visiting Hearne Pee Wee
squad, 16-2, on the lighted soft-
ball field.
A responsive crowd saw the
home team hit losing pitcher Kel
ly, who defeated the same CS jun
iors in Hearne earlier in the week,
10-5, for 15 hits and gave up elev
en walks in the seven inning affair.
Pinkney Cooner twirled the win
ners to their first victory in three
starts, allowing only seven scat
tered hits in the process. He was
also one of the top hitters of the
evening as he connected with two
singles in five trips and scored
twice.
College Station’s third baseman
Dave Bonnen and shortstop Fred
die Anderson paced the hitters as
each connected with the sphere
three of four times at bat. One of
Bonnen’s hits was a double, and
he led the scorers with three runs
while Anderson scored only once.
The winners started off fast as
they scored four markers in the
opening inning to take the lead
which' they never reliriquished.
Three consecutive singles by An
derson, Bonnen, and Hickman
started the rally, but Anderson
was called out at third before Dan
Williams drove in the other two
men on base with a double. John
Rob’t. Smith walked, and a single
by Cooner scored the victors final
two runs of the inning.
The hitting continued as each
man on the College Station team
scored before the end of the' game
with the runs coming in the third,
fifth and sixth frames. The final
two innings saw the Pee Wees
cash in with ten markers.
Hearne’s only two runs were
brought home in the sixth with
Donill and L. Pursley scoring with
aid from two errors and a double.
Kell, Doby Close

TCYV Blasts Dorm 14
To Remain In 1st Place

sion intramural softball league as
they scored heavily in the first and
fifth frames to ha)nd Dorm 14 its
fourth defeat, 10-1.

shortstop Gibson crossed home
plate on an error.

ter having reached first with a
double and two. more runs in the
next frame by Floyd and Williams
with the aid of a single, two walks,
and two errors which clinched the
game.
Mnsial Replaces
Robinson for Lead
New York, Aug. 15—API—Jackie
Robinson’s battirig slump— he’s
hitting .182 for the past two weeks
—not only has cost him the Na
tional League lead but may drop
him among the also rans if it isn’t
stopped soon.
Two weeks ago the Brooklyn
second baseman was hitting .370
and Was on top. Since then he has
banged out only eight hits in 44
attempts and now he has an aver
age of .348 and is second.
Stan Musial of the St. Louis
Cards has an average, including
games of Sunday, of .361.
In won and lost records, Sal
Magle of the Giants and Bob Mil
ler of the Phils lead with identical
10 and 3 marks. That’s a .769 per
centage.

ori balls, three in order, scored
Donaldson, Fong, and Williams for
the winners’ final markers. Ray
Carroll was charged with the loss
as he gave up a total of five hits.
Dorm 15-7, Texas Geology 6

tion yesterday and much to their
disappointment, losing to sixth

game with the aid of two Homers.
Jumping to the lead in the op
ening frame, the Winners scored
three ruris with the assistance of
a single arid two walks. G. W.
Smith led off for Dorm 15 with a
single, and two consecutive walks

scored the three men on base for
the three point lead.

ond with John Muller and King
Lauvva spiking home plate after
