Stengel Picks Raschi
To Start On Mound
New York, Oct. 3—t# 5 )—Mana
ger Casey Stengel yesterday named
righthander Vic Raschi to hurl the
opening game of the World Series
Wednesday and scoffed at the bet
ting odds which established the
Yankees as heavy favorites over
the Philadelphia Phils.
“Raschi js my man,” the Yankee
skipper told reporters who had
gone to Yankee^ Stadium to watch
the American League champions
work out.
“Vic has been my big pitcher all
year. He reserves the first shot.”
Casey said Allie Reynolds (16-
12) definitely will start the second
game. He thinks his third pitcher
might be southpaw Ed Lopat (18-
8), but isn’t sure.
“It’s too far to look ahead,” he
said.
Told that the Phils are under
dogs at odds ranging from 2-1 to
13-5, Casey let out with a loud
Guffaw.
“Those betting people know from
nothing,” he said. “That’s a good
ball club over in Philadelphia. It
had to be good to beat a red hot
Brooklyn team in the biggest game
of the year for both clubs.
“Of course I think we’ll win but
they’ve got some tough pitchers.
That’s the only way they can win
—if they get great pitching. I

Plan Meeting
First meeting of the 1950-
51 Bowling Club will be held
in Room 3-A in the Memorial
Student Center Wednesday-
night at 7:30, according to
Price Smith, adviser for the keg
lers.
Purpose of the Bowling Club is
to establish bowling as a minor
sport in the Southwest Conference,
Smith said. The club' is open to
all interested persons, in this area
—not just students.
Activities are expected to run
at an increased tempo this year
because of new alleys and equip
ment at the Memorial Student Cen
ter.
Officers elected at the final meet
ing of the '49-50 club were John
Geiger, president; Robert Weaver,
treasurer; and Arlen Reese, secre
tary.
Smith asked that anyone inter
ested in forming a bowling team
from dormitories, companies, or
lome-town groups, to see him at
le MSC lanes.

For men of high caliber and
university training, Douglas
offers limitless opportunity.
Today, as for the past thirty
years, our future depends on
men who can continue to
help pioneer in the field of
aeronautics.
University and college gradu
ates have made important con
tributions to our progress, and
have found Douglas a good
place to work.
don’t think they’ll outslug us.”
Respects Phil Hurlers
Stengel said he has a great deal
of respect for pitchers Robin Rob
erts, Ken Heintzelman, Russ Meyer
and Bubba Church.
Raschi has appeared in two
world series but has never opened
one. His season’s record is 21-8.
His mound opponent remained
very much in doubt today as the
Phils took a day of rest.
Guesses are that Manager Ed
die Sawyer of the Phils may come
back with Roberts (10-11), the
young righthander who clinched
the National League flag for the
Phils Sunday. He would have only
two days rest, however. ■ Most
Yankees, seemed to think that
Sawyer would start veteran Ken
Heintzelman, a 35-year-old south
paw who completed a poor 3-9
year.
Hasn’t Heard Report
Stengel said he has not heard
from the Phils who were reported
to have asked permission to play
two ineligible men in the world
series.
In order to add new men, to the
squad of eligible players, applica
tions must be made to the opposing
club as well as baseball Commis
sioner A. B. Chandler.
The Phils are reported to want
to use outfielder Jack Mayo and
Pitcher Jocko Thompson in place
of Bill Nicholson and Curt Sim
mons. Nicholson is hospitalized by
diabetes and Simmons is in the
Army.
“If the Phillies want pennission
to use those men,” Casey said,
“I’ll ask to make Johnny Hopp
eligible.”
Hopp, purchased from Pitts
burgh after the deadline date, is
not eligible. He could be used as
a replacement either in the out
field or at first base.
The opening day lineup an
nounced by Stengel:
Gene Woodling, left field
Phil Rizzuto, shortstop
Larry Berra, catcher
Joe Dimaggio, centerfield
Johnny Mize, first base
Hank Bauer or Cliff Mapes, right
field
Billy Johnson or Bobby Brown,
third base
Gerry Coleman, second base
Vic Raschi, pitcher
The right field and third base
starters will depend on. the Phil
lies pitching selection.

Past Week
Proves SWC
Pass Happy
By WILBUR MARTIN
Associated Press Staff
They say Southwest Conference
teams are “pass happy” and last
week they were so right.
It was the forward pass that
brought Southern Methodist, Bay
lor and Rice victory, and Texas,
Texas A&M and Arkansas found
it a perfect balance for vicious
running games.
There were, some amazing indi
vidual performances last week, but
the most amazing of all was that
of Fred Benners.
Benners pitched four second half
touchdown passes to give Southern
Methodist a 32-27 victory over
Ohio State, and completed 19 of
34 attempts for 306 yards.
Vernon Glass tossed four scor
ing passes as Rice smacked Santa
Clara’ 27-7, and Larry Isbell threw
three touchdown heaves in Baylor’s
34-17 virtory over the University
of Houston.
Texas mixed passing with vic
ious running by Byron Townsend
in outscoring Purdue, 34-26. A&M
did the same in beating Texas Tech
34-13, and Arkansas in running
over North Texas, 50 6.
Oklahoma A&M roundly out
played if you believe the statistics,
dumped Texas Christians, 13-7.
This week Texas Christian and
Arkansas kick off conference com
petition, while Southern Methodist
tackles Missouri, Baylor meets
Mississippi State and Rice takes on
Louisiana State. Texas is idle.
Southern Methodist trailed Ohio
State, 24-7 halfway through the
third period. Then Benners un
limbered his passing arm and
started the Mustangs on a wild
stampede that left 80,672 fans in
the Columbus, O., stadium limp
with excitement. The Mustangs
gained 415 yards passing and end
ed with a minus seven yards on the
ground.
Two of Texas’ touchdowns came
on passes, Arkansas scored two
this way and Texas A&M three.
Biggest surprise was Oklahoma
A&M’s second straight victory ov
er a conference team. Arkansas
was the first to be upset by the
Oklahoma Aggies.
Claude Arnold
Arnold, Oklahoma’s top quarter
back’ as a reserve in ’48 and ’49
pitched 24 completions in 41
throws for 524 yards, five touch
downs, and a gaudy completion
percentage of 58.5 per cent. He
averaged 4.03 net yards last year
as a runner.

development of aircraft,
guided missiles, and special
classified projects for the
Government, we shall always
be interested in men trained
as aeronautical, mechani
cal, electrical and civil
engineers ... physicists ...
and mathematicians.

Quarterback Club Winner
Named. Gets OU Tickets
By ROGER COSLETT
Round one of the nine bout Bat
talion Quarterback Club Contest is
over and George Hayes Jr., a jun
ior Man E major from Moody, has
been declared winner.
Hayes edged Jack W. Jones, a
senior E E major from San An
tonio, and two others who had
picked all the winners in last week
end’s football clashes. Bert Bailey
and Ned Johnson were the also-
rans. These four were the only
persons to pick all the winners,
with over 300 entering.
The winner will receive two tick
ets to next week’s game with Okla
homa when the Club meets again
Thursday night in the Assembly
Hall.
Dick Todd, Aggie back field
coach who scouted last week’s
Oklahoma-Boston College game,
will tell just what the Maroon and
White have in store for them when
they clash with the Sooners at
Norman this weekend.
A&M or Oklahoma’s
inning Streak Will Be
Broken Coming Weekend
BASED ON AR REPORTS
Texas A&M will be meeting the
Oklahoma Sooners this coming Sat
urday at Norman, Okla., in an ef
fort to stretch their longest win
ning streak in the last three years
to another game which would make
a total of three straight.
Last Saturday afternoon at Nor
man, Coach-of-the-Year Bud Wil
kinson trotted out his Oklahoma
football team for its first showing
of the season and the Sugar Bowl
^Champions walloped Boston Col
lege’ 28-0, to run their string of
Victories to 22 straight games.
It is now beginning to look as
if the Sooners are off again to an
other fine year, as the drums con
tinue to beat for Oklahoma who is
ranked second only to Notre Dame
: in the Associated Press Poll.
At the start of the 1949 season,
■ when Oklahoma had a ' mere 10-
game streak, Wilkinson told all
who would listen:
“It’s a very fine compliment to
oup last year’s team.”
Oklahoma went on to win 10
strhfght games:; and cap' off the
season with a 35-0 rout of Louis
iana State in the Sugar Bowl.
This year, says Wilkinson about
: the expert’s forecasts that Okla-
: homa will have one of the nation’s
best teams:
“They’ve, got to string along
with us until we lose.”
Wilkinson, whose blonde hair has
turned to silver since he took com
mand in 1947, has a brilliant soph
omore group to back up a dozen
and a half returning lettermen.
However, the 34-year-old men
tor points to the fact only one
starter is hack from last year’s of
fensive team.
He’s line-crashing Leon Heath,
a fullback, who probably will do
more ball carrying than last year
under Wilkinson’s split T forma
tion.
Several sophomores and second
^.string quarterback Bob Ewbank
nave been taken by the armed for
ces to add to Oklahoma’s worries.
How fas a promising group
of sophomores will come, along
will be a major factor in Okla
homa’s fight to retain its victory
string.
Wilkinson adnpts he will have a
good team, but says “other teams
also are going to be good.”
Oklahoma is stronger in the
backfield than in the line, where
Wilkinson is-doing a lot of rebuild
ing. Last year’s line opened up
a path for Oklahoma to lead the
nation in rushing and also in de
fense against rushing.
Although the loss of 10 men
from last year’s starting team is
enough to jolt any coach, two va
cancies are hurting worse.
They are those left by Quarter-;
Lack' Darrell Royal and All-Amer’
ica Tackle Wade Walker.
“Our kicking game was bound
up in Royal,” Wilkinson says.
Walker’s prowess at light tack
le is reflected in the-fact that for
the past three years, Oklahoma’s
right halves have led the Big Sev
en Conference in yardage gained
rushing. Walker cleared the way.
Wilkinson hopes to bulwark his
line this season with 210-pound
guard Clair Mayes.
. Oklahoma’s position by 1 position
outlook:
1 Ends—Frankie Anderson, second
stringer last year’ will start at
right end but the race is hot for
the other flank. There’s third
stringer Jack Lockett, Ed Lisak,
defensive hilfback the past two
years, and a brilliant sophomore,
Troy Keller, whose pass catching
and speed may find him starting.
Other good prospects are Bill Price
from last year’s fifth team, and Ed
Sampson, sophomore center last
year.
Tackles — Four lettermen are
possible starte'rs with Art Janes,
205, and Dean Smith, 210, now
running on the first team and Jim
Weatherall, 220, and-J. W. Cole,
210 on the second team.
Guards—Mayes is one starter,
but letterman Bert Clark’ 198, may
shade Norman McNabb, 195-pound
co-captain, for the other post.
Center—Harry Moore, 200, co
captain, is moving up from the sec-
Johnny Chistensen, the “hard
luck” player on the Aggie squad,
injured his back in ’48 in the Bay
lor game and in ’49 he broke his
collar bone at the LSU game.

flashy runner, steady passer and
fine on defense. Silva is running
