Kimbrough Selected
To Helm Hall of Fame
Wtu''UkZi.'S■
By FRANK N. MANITZAS
A&M’s Jarrin’ Jawn Kimbrough
will be named to the Helms Hall
College Football Hall of Fame by
the Helms Hall Board tonight in
conjunction, with a dinner program
which is given by the Glendale
Junior Chamber of Commerce at
Los Angeles, Calif.
Along with Kimbrough, four
other college football greats will
be honored at the same time. The
others are coaches Frank W. Thom
as and William A. Alexander, and
players Charles Daly and Hector
Cowan.
This brings to thirty-five th*e
number of college football notables,
including coaches and players, who
have been honored by the Helms
Hall Board. Paul H. Helms, found
er and sponsor of. Helms Athletic
Foundation and Helms Hall, is
chairman of the Helms Hall
Board.
The selection of Kimbrough
brought to the Hall one of the
greatest backs the Southwest has
ever seen. Kimbrough helped the
Aggies whip Fordham in the Cot
ton Bowl game of 1941, 13-12, and
Tulane in the Sugar Bowl game of
1940, 14-13.
Only Player From SWC
Of the three players selected in
this group to Helms Hall, Kim
brough is the only one to have
played modern time football. He
is the only player to ever be
chosen from the SWC.
Kimbrough was also the Cadets
fullback in ’38. After having serv
ed in the Army during World War
II, he played professional football
with the Los Angelus Dons.
In '39 when the Maroon and
White grid machine was named to
the mythical honor of National
Champs, Kimbrough together with
teammate, and also All-America
tackle, Joe Boyd helped the Cadets
roll up 212 points to 31 for the op
position. Six of the eleven teams
which the Aggies met that year
A&M Consolidated
Grid Schedule Set
Coach Othel Chafin announced
A&M Consolidated’s football sched
ule for, the coming fall season.
The Maroons will play 10 games
with four of them being at home,
although one of the games is not
yet scheduled. Only one of the
home games is a district game.
Complete Schedule
failed to score against the Na
tional Champs.
Another Aggie All-America
The following year saw another
teammate follow Kimbrough to All-
America honors. Guard Marshall
Robnett went along with Jarrin’
Jawn as the Aggies garnered 183
points to 46 of the opponents. In
the final conference game of the
season, the Aggie eleven tasted
defeat for the first time in two
years. The Texas University grid-
sters edged the Cadets, 7-0.
Charles Daly was quite a football
player himself when at the turn
of the century he had the unusual
distinction of gaining All-America
honors five times. In 1898, 1899,
and 1900, he was named All-Ameri
ca at Harvard, and in 1901 and
1902 at the United States Military
Academy.
As a quarterback he was chosen
to Walter Camp’s first All-America
line-up in 1898, 1899, and 1901, was
named for second-team laurels in
1900, and third-team laurels in
1902. In 1901 he was also chosen
College Football Player of the
Year.
As a cog in Princeton’s cham
pion team of 1889, Hector Cowan,
who in reality was a tackle, fre
quently carried the ball and was
one of the leading scorers of Tiger
elevens. He was named to All-
America honors in 1889.
Tech’s Great Coach
Georgia Tech will never forget
William A. Alexander, who served
the Ramblin’ Wrecks both as a
player and a coach. He played
for the Yellow jackets from 1907
to ’09 and served as assistant
coach to John W. Heisman from

Musial Tops Hopp
For NL Hit Lead
New York, Aug. 22—GP)—Stan
Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals
holds an imposing 20-point lead
over Pittsburgh’s Johnny Hopp in
the National League batting derby.
Musial is hitting .363, Hopp .343.
Brooklyn’s Jackie Robinson, the
defending champ and leader a
month ago, continues to slide
downwards. The Dodgers’ second
baseman is hitting .337 for third
place.
Pittsburgh’s Ralph Kiner is the
No. 1 man in home runs with 37.

. . . Sports Chatter
In the September issue of Sport,
Bill Stern, in making pre-seaSon
predictions, says the following
concerning one of A&M’s better
footballers. . .
“We have picked only four com
plete backfields, but there are
other backs who may pull a dras
tic switch and rise to great
heights . . . boys like Bob Smith
of Texas A&M . . .”
Three Aggies, are playing in the

pro tournament in Wichita, Kan

the Sinton Oilers while Guy Wal
lace and Shug McPherson are
swatting the sphere for the Al
pine Cowboys.
1912 through 1919, except during
the first world war when he was
in the service. As head coach for
Georgia from 1920 through 1944,
he tutored the Engineers to 131
victories, lost 93 games, and tied
15.
Serving three seasons as a quar
terback at Notre Dame under
Knute Rockne, may have been a
big help to Frank W. Thomas, who
coached at Alabama from 1931
through 1946. His Crimson Tide
teams won 115 games, lost 24 and
tied seven.
Prior to going to Alabama, he
coached at Chattanooga, and served
as assistant mentor at Georgia.
Six of Thomas’ Tide squads played
in New Year’s Day Bowl games.

Like A Rubber Ball
Harris Keeps Promise
While Bouncing Around
By WHITNEY MARTIN
New York, Aug. 22—(/P)—Our
favorite rubber ball, Bucky Harris,
is quietly going about keeping a
little promise he made to himself
at Orlando, Fla., last spring.
“I never had a team finish
last, and certainly don’t want to
or expect to finish last this year,”
he mused aloud, and you could tell
it was more than a hope. It was
a vow.
Bucky was resuming his dareer as
manager of the Washington Sena
tors, and the rubber ball designa
tion traces from his habit of al
ways bouncing back, no matter
from what height or how unex
pected might be the drop.
He was dropped from the Phil-
Simmons Stops Giants
As Phillies Win, 4-0
New' York, Aug. 22—(A 5 )—-Young
£urt Simmons stopped the Giants
with four hits yesterday as pace
setting Philadelphia whipped the
New Yorkers, 4-0.
The high-riding Phils maintained
their fat 5% game edge over
Brooklyn, which beat Pittsburgh,
3-2.
Simmons, notching his 16th vic
tory fanned five, walked two, and
was in trouble only once.
With two out in the eighth, the
Giants filled the bases on two sing
les and a walk. But the 21-year-old
southpaw got Don Mueller on a
roller.
Puddinghead Jones hit his 25th
homer and Andy Seminick his 18th.
Richie Ashburn, out since Fri
day with a stiff neck, returned to
the lineup and hit a two run single
in the seventh.
Dodgers 3, Pirates 2
Pittsburgh, Aug. 22—6P)—The
Brooklyn Dodgers pulled a double
steal yesterday, to beat Pittsburgh,
3-2, for their fourth consecutive
triumph.
Jim Russell, on the scoring end,
and Duke Snider, surprised the
Bucs with the winning play with
two out in the fifth inning.
Don Newcombe, winning his 13th
victory, went the route.
Ralph Kiner, after hitting three
homers in three games to go ahead
of Babe Ruth’s record, was held
to three singles. He is nOw even
with Ruth—37 homers for 115
games.
Tigers 7, Browns 3
Detroit, Aug. 22 —Vic
Wertz and Hoot Evers of Detroit
each hit a three-run homer yester
day to help Paul (Dizzy) Trout
coast in with his seventh straight
victory, a 7 to 1 decision over the
St. Louis Browns.
It boosted Detroit’s lead to three
and a half games over the idle
New York Yankees.
Cardinals 9, Braves 2
St. Louis, Aug 22—(A*)—Tommy
Glaviano hit two bases-empty
homers last night as the St. Louis
Cardinals nudged Boston out of
third place in the National League
by beating the Braves 9-2.
The victory, which went to
Harry (the Cat) Brecheen, put the
Redbirds one game ahead of Bos
ton.
The Cardinals’ leadoff man,
Glaviano slammed his first home
run into the right centerfield pav
ilion in the first inning. He got
his second into the leftfield seats
in the sixth round
. They
ware his
sixth and seventh
of the
year.

adelphia Phillies in midseason in
1943 when they were in last place,
or close to it. With such a slight
drop he didn’t bounce so high, but
he bounced just the same.
Wasn’t Too Proud
He came up as high at Buffalo.
He wasn’t too proud to take a
job in the minors, knowing in his
heart he is a major leaguer and
would eventually wind up where
he belonged.
He won a pennant with the
Yankees in 1947, and finished a
good third in 1948, but again came
the drop, and again he took a
minor league job, this time at San
Diego.
It seemed that fate was drib
bling him along like a basketball,
periodically giving him a mighty
slap which made him bounce real
ly high. That happened again at
San Diego, and he again found
himself right back in the majors.
Majors . . . Senators
Majors is used advisedly when
speaking of the Washington Sen
ators. They had finished a seedy
last in 1949, with 50 victories
against 104 defeats, and a pathetic
average of .325.
What brought us to the Harris
subject today is the fact that the
1950 Senators reached the 50-vic-
tory mark last Thursday, and are
a cinch not only to finish out of
last place, but as top team in the
second division.
The team Bucky has assembled
out of holdovers, rookies, castoffs
and whatnot, has developed into
a club which has the wholesome
respect of even the better teams
in the American League.
No longer are the Nats patsies
for all comers. They’ve won six
out of 16 from both the Tigers and
Indians, and seven of 13 from the
Yankees.
He can forget those cough days
and smile now, though. He must
know, as everyone else knows, that
he’s doing the best job of his
managerial career.
Texas Geology and Dorm 14
finished the season in a tie for
second place, each holding a total
of eight wins and four losses.
TU won a forfeit win over Wal
ton Friday while Dorm 14 gained
the same over Milner in a sche
duled makeup game yesterday
which never materialized.
Exhibition Game
An exhibition game yesterday
between the Texans and TCVV
ended as expected with TCVV win
ning, 13-8.
Williams was on the mound for
the winners and he Scattered 11
hits in the seven frames of play.
A home run together with two
ot)ier hits in the opening frame
gaVe the Texans a 3-0 lead which
held until the third inning when
TCVV scored nine runs.
Centerfielder Wessley walked to
first, Walton singled, and third
baseman Dean homered to drive
in three runs for TU.
Seven singles, a double, and
two walks, helped TCVV set
up its first rally and score nine
times. Olson led off, reaching
first with a base on balls, but
scored off of Campbell’s double.
Then a single, a walk, and seven
consecutive singles assisted in
scoring Campbell, Butler, Timlin,
Trimble, Wood, Williams, Adkins
and Long.
McGhee scored the Texan’s only
run in the fourth frame. TU gained
four more in the top of the sixth
as Boruff, Cooley, McGhee, and
Tschoepe scored the markers with
the assist of three singles, and
four walks.
TCVV countered in the same
period with the same number of
runs. Campbell, Butler, Trimble,
and. Olson scored for the winners.
Cooley was charged with the loss
as he gave up 14 hits, one of
which was a double.

Coe Advances
To 2nd Round
Of NAT Links
Minneapolis, Aug. 22 —
(AP)—Charles Coe or Okla
homa City, defending cham
pion, moved into the second
round of the National Ama
teur tourney yesterday with a
brand of golf that easily eliminated
Thomas Jamison of Greenburg, Pa.,
and brought consternation to other-
rivals.
The Oklahoma thin man stormed
through his opening match on the
6,655-yard Minneapolis golf club
layout in sub-par figures for a
5 and 4 verdict. Par is 35-36—71.
Coe got only one birdie during
his 14 holes but he was off the
fairway only once. He never missed
a put of less than eight feet and
on the eleventh hole he laid the
Pennsylvanian a stymie that
brought him added help.
While Coe, one of the earliest
winners on the day’s program of
82 matches, moved easily along
such name players as Chick
Evans, Jr., of Chicago, Mason of’
Clarksville, Tenn., and Ray Bil
lows of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., were
eliminated. Dick Chapman of Pine-
hurst, N. C., squaked through with
a 2 up verdict, over Benno Jens-
sen of Charlottesville, Va.
Frank Stranahan of Toledo, and
James McHale of Bethelehem, Pa.,
won first round victories in the
National Amateur Golf champion
ships yesterday to set up today’s
outstanding match in the second
round.
Stranahan defeated Arnold Pal
mer of Latrobe, Pa., 4 and 3 while
McHale knocked off Mike Galla
gher of Augusta, Ga., 5 and 4.
Rudolph, 16-year-old natibnal
junior champion, was spillcid by
the veteran Jack Munger of Dal
las, 3 and 1, although the young
ster did some spectatcular putting.
Hottest golf of the day, played
under ideal weather conditions, was
turned in by Dale Morey of Dallas,
who defeated Thomas McMahon of
Grosse Point Farms, Mich., 5 and
4, by virtue of a first nine 33.
Telecast, Radio
Brings Million
To Major Nines
Cincinnati, Aug. 22—(AP)
—Major league baseball and
its player pension fund will
be enriched by almost a mil
lion dollars by the telecast
and radio broadcast of the 1950
world series.
Commissioner A. B. Chandler an
nounced yesterday that the Gil
lette Safety Razor Company and
the Mutual broadcasting Company
had been granted exclusive radio
and television right for the 1950
series.
The television contract will
bring baseball $800,000 and the
radio broadcast will bring in an
additional $175,000.
The money goes into the major
league central fund. That corres
ponds to the sinking fund of any
big business. The $175,000 from
radio, however, always is ear
marked toward payment of the
premium on the baseball players’
pension fund.
The difference between that and
the approximately $200,000 of the
premium is made up from the re
mainder of the central fund. There
was competition this year for the
television rights.
The Dumont Network also of
fered a bid but under an agreement
reached last year Gillette and Mu
tual were given the right to meet
any competing bid. Gillette and
Mutual had the rights in 1949
when the television rights wCnt
for $200,000 and the radio rights
for $175,000.
. The television outlets have not
yet been selected except for New
York, Chicago and Boston.
Yesterday’s agreement made
radio broadcasts and telecasts the
big business of world series re
ceipts. Unless one of the clubs
with the bigger parks is a pen
nant winner, the receipts from
telecasts and broadcasts may ex
ceed the receipts from ticket sales.

Rockdale Loses to
Pee Wees, 134
College Station’s Pee Wee soft-
ball team added another victim to
their evergrowing list last Friday
night on the lighted softball field
when they subdued the Rockdale
Pee Wee squad by a score of 13-4.
According to Coach Taylor Wil
kins, this was quite a reversal of
their previous game in which the
Rockdale crew won by the narrow
margin of 3-2.
Pinkney Cooner twirled the win
ners to victory, allowing only six
hits, but was replaced in the top
of the fifth when victory was al
most certain.
Dave Bonnen led the hitters,
getting two singles and scoring
three runs and reaching third
the fourth time at the plate on a
walk. John Rob’t. Smith of College
Station also got two singles in
three trips to the plate.
Patterson started on the hill for
Rockdale but had to have help in
the fourth from Duke.
The game was cut short due to
Rockdale having to return home
before ten o’clock.
