Raschi Gives 2 Hits As Yanks Clip Phils o T»V W A T,TC17I? i-nnino* Tf vuasi \tov\t colrlnm fVinf q By FRED WALKER inning 1 . It was very seldom that a ball was thrown down the middle, for Raschi had them slipping over every corner. The New York tally came in the 4th inning when Gerry Coleman sent a long fly to left field to score Bobby Brown. Brown had opened the inning with a double— the only extra base blow of the game—and had gone to third on a long fly by Hank Bauer. I$g Vic Raschi' outlasted start ing-reliefer Jim Konstanty in a brilliantly fought pitching duel as the perennial New York Yankees won the first game of the 1950 World Series 1 to 0. The Yankee righthander had his .“stuff” all the way as he limited the Bluejays to two singles—third baseman Willie Jones and catcher Andy Seminick, both in the fifth NOW SHOWING “TOAST OF NEW ORLEANS” • FRIDAY PRF.VI1F. mmmmrnt HEDDA HOPPER says: ‘The kind ot picture America has been screaming for.” SAT. PREVUE 11 P. M. .*0110 KRUGER u«.,5arry Kelty Oorotlij Patrick Jumbo’ Top Lineman ikes ‘Back of the Week’ By RALPH GORMAN Only 4 Hits It was a heart-breaker for Kon stanty who gave the Yanks only 4 hits in eight innings, (The fifth Yank hit was off relieving pitcher Russ Meyer.) all of which were limited to one an inning. Though credited with the loss, Konstanty still demands a great amount of respect and praise. This was the first game he had started since 1948 when he pitched for Toronto. Three times the Yanks had him on the ropes, two on with no one out but failed to bring a run across. Adding to his moral victory was the fact that he never allowed the vaunted “mid dle” of the Yankee batting order— the power hitters—Berra, DiMag- gio, and Mize to get so much as a scratch single. Raschi Hero But the Yank’s hero of the day was still “Big Vic”. He retired 13 Phils in a row before he was touched for those two hits. That was all for the “Whiz Kids.” They never had another base runner, except Eddie Waitkus, who man aged to work Raschi for the only Philadelphia walk in the ninth. Raschi struck out 5 and got one of the five Yankee hits. The Philadelphia crowd had a short-lived moment of joy in the eighth when pinch-hitter Dick Whitman, who batted for Kon stanty, sent a long drive into right field, but at the last moment, Bauer bounced against the balus trade and hauled it down. The tension hit the breaking point in the ninth when, with two down, Dick Sisler, who had knock ed a three-run homer against Brooklyn to salt away the pen nant, stepped up to the plate. Every Philadelphian had visions of another game being saved, but Raschi would not be denied and Sisler went down swinging amid the groans of thousands of fans. Bear 0 U Have you ever tried to stop 225 pounds of charging fury? Or maybe you would like to try to keep a rangy 6’ 3” end from reach ing above you? Those were the two biggest problems facing the Texas Tech Raiders Sat urday night in regard to Andy “Jumbo” Hillhouse. The spectacular performance turned in by Hillhouse in last Sat urday’s contest has won him the title of LINEMAN OF THE WEEK from the Battalion Sports Staff. If Hillhouse had done nothing else after the second period, he would still be unanimous for the weekly honor for blocking the Raider point after touchdown at tempt that would have tied the game at 14 all. Feared by all opposing right ends and their entire backfields, Hillhouse repeatedly crashes through defensive forward walls to change potential scoring plays into yardage losing chaos. Equally important on Cadet pass plays, he is to be seen time and again towering head and shoulders above a would-be defensive against Ag gie aerials. Third Top Scorer At the present he is tied with seven other SWC stars for third place in conference scoring with a total of 12 points. Hillhouse amassed his 12 point total in Alamo Stadium last week when he snagged an eight yard toss from the arm of Delmar Sikes for the first score of the game. Again in the final period Sikes found him standing in the end zone and connected with a 13 yard paydirt aerial. Ranking eighth in season stand ings among the top ten SWC pass receivers, Hillhouse has snagged four passes for a total of 49 yards. Hillhouse comes from Alvin and was outstanding end on the Cadet eleven in 1948. Although he didn’t become a regular until mid-season, Andy lead the team in blocked punts and made sevex-al all-con ference teams, not to mention being named honorable mention on United Press’ All-America team of ’48. Should Hillhouse continue his rough and rugged type of play on the gridiron, he will undoubt edly be one of the best ends in the country. Beat 0 U Maroon & White... . . . Sports Chatter Things are definitely looking up on the football field . . . John L. Christensen has returned to scrim mage practices and is looking as good as ever . . . Dick Gardemal replaced Delmar Sikes at the man- under slot yesterday and seemed to have improved considerably in his ball handling, which was never too bad . . . This means the Cadets are set in QB spot . . . Delmar missed most of practice yesterday as he walked the field most of the afternoon, favoring his hurt ankle, but, according to Trainer Bill Dayton, he will be working with the team again to day . . . Moving back to John L. for a moment, he, you may remember, is the hard luck kid of the Aggies . . . He has yet to complete a sea son of football with the Cadet var sity . . . Good Luck, John, you’ll make it this time . . . Speaking about hard luck . . . Charley Royalty, who was definite ly looking forward to the OU tilt, like everyone else on the Maroon and White eleven, will miss the game because of a dislocated shoulder . . .The hard luck moved in this week during practice . . . The backfield had been working light most of the day, and when the scrimmage started, everything was still OK . . . Near the end of practice, Charley was hit extra hard on his shoulder which a few years ago had been operated on, and that did it . . . Charley will be ready for SWC play. Beat the Sooners Considered by many as the nucleus of the Aggie team against their first two op ponents, Delmar Sikes has been duly named BACK OF THE WEEK by the Battalion Sports Staff. Ranking as the No. 4 man for the quarterback slot before the sea son opened, Sikes has shown his true prowess on the gridiron and at present has a firm hold on the No. 1 spot for the man-under posi tion. Sikes threw 14 passes in last week’s contest and completed five of these for 60 yards and two touchdowns. He now ranks in tenth place among the leading passers in SWC play. Sikes—Football Wise Battalion SPORTS THUR., OCT. 5, 1950 Page 3 As Outstanding Back of Year . . . Williams’ Top Choice New York, Oct, 5—(A 5 )—Who do you think will be the outstanding backfield man in college football this fall? The nation’s sports winters and broadcasters pondered that ques tion and decided it would be Bob Williams, Notre Dame’s quick thinking, sharp-passing quarter back. It wasn’t an easy decision to make in the Associated Press’ pre season poll. Williams barely won out in the voting over Kyle Rote, Southern Methodist’s 190-pound whiz who almost fashioned Notre Dame’s first defeat in four years last December. Halfback Johnny Karras, Illin ois’ big ten ground gaining cham pion, and Chuck Ortmann, Mich igan’s splendid passing ace, fol lowed in favor but it was mostly a two-man race. “Williams Great...” Williams, acclaimed by Coach Frank Leahy as “as great a quar terback as Notre Dame ever had,” received 44 votes among the 109 cast. Rote, the Mustang’s triple threat whirlwind, got 34. Votes tapered off sharply from the point with Karras receiving cm by TECHNICOLOR “ANNIE GET YOUR GUN” nine for third and Ortmann getting five for fourth. Leon Heath, Oklahoma’s 195- pound fullback, followed with four. Then came Billy Cox, the Duke Sparkplug, with three, and Cor nell’s Jeff Fleischmann and Iowa State’s Bill Weeks, two each. Williams is making Notre Dame’s millions of alumni, offi cial and other-wise, forget such quarterback greats as Angelo Ber- telli, Johnny Lujack and Frank Tripucka.

A trigger-quick thinker, his field generalship is credited with helping extend the fighting Irish’s unbeaten record to 39 games, long est in modern football . “ ... Brilliant Strategist .. “He is a brilliant strategist,” says Leahy. “You never know what he is going to do.” Williams’ pass to end Jim Mutscheller in the last 2% min utes gave the Irish a 14-7 victory last week over North Carolina. Bob is a 20-year-old senior from Baltimore who earned ten letters at Loyola High School there. He is a six-foot-one, 180-pounder who is both an excellent passer and dangerous runner. Last year he completed 83 passes in 147 attempts for 1,374 yards. Rote, also a terror as a thrower and ball-carrier, is rated one of the greatest backs ever to play in the Southwest, which has given us Sammy Baugh, John Kimbrough and Doak Walker. Other backs receiving votes in the poll were: Harry Hugasian, Stanford; Bob Blaik, Army; John Dottley, Mississippi; Hank Lauri- cella, Tennessee; Bill Barrett, Notre Dame, and Gil Stephenson, Army. Beat the Sooners Tipping the scales at 181 pounds and standing 6’ 1” in his stocking feet, Sikes is football wise and is the most deceptive ball handler on the squad. Ineligible in 1948 because he transferred from another college, Sikes saw limited service in the ’49 campaign. He looked sharp in both passing and punting last spring and demonstrated his po tentialities of playing safety or defensive halfback. He is the only Aggie quarter back in the last three seasons who has commanded a winning ball club, for there were but few of fensive minutes in which he was not calling signals.
