On the Gridiron
TV to Have Most
Of ’50 Squad Back
Under New Coach
By ANDY ANDERSON
Battalion Sports Editor
(Editor’s Note: With this, the last regular edition of The Battal
ion and our last article for the paper, we thought it appropriate to give
forth with football information on ye old arch rival, The University
of Texas, better known as TU.)
Looking forward to the opening of grid practice on Sept.
1, TU will have most of the 1950 squad back under the tute
lage of Ed Price, the coach named to replace Blair Cherry
after last Fall.
Price is introducing the Split-T forma-
] tion for the first time this year and accord
ing to reports after Spring training, it did

| : will probably come up with one of the strong
est teams in the conference although most of
the sportswriters are picking them for either
the second or third spot in the SWC race
11 this Fall.
Price will have a job replacing most of
his offensive starters, lost by graduation
and one by signing a pro baseball contract.
He will be looking for replacements for All-
lerican Bud McFadden, Ken Jackson, Ben Proctor, Dick
owan, Gene Vykukal, Bubba Shands, Lew Levine, Joe Ar
nold, Billy Porter, Jim Pakenham, Johnny Allred, Bob Rick
man, George Gentry and Ben Tompkins who signed a baseball
contract, only to be drafted almost the moment after he inked
the pact.
McFadden, incidently, was named the outstanding play
er of the All-Star-Cleveland Browns massacre last Friday
night in Chicago, won by the pros, 33-0.

Feller First 20-Game Winner;
Giants Stretch Skein to Ten
By Associated Press
Bobby Feller has reached the
second of three goals set before
the start of the 1951 season.
The 32-year-old righthander of
the Cleveland Indians set 20 vic
tories, a world series triumph and
a no-hitter as his prime targets
for the season. He got his no
hitter against Detroit on July 1.
Feller realized his second ambi
tion last night as he became the
major’s first 20-game winner and
the way the Indians are traveling
these days he stands a good chance
of attaining the other.
Indians Triumph 6-0
The no-hit master pitched the
Indians to a 6-0 triumph over the
Washington Senators and preserv
ed Cleveland’s one game edge over
the runner-up New York Yankees.
The Yanks hammered the Detroit
Tigers, 11-4, while the St. Louis
Browns upset the third place Bos
ton Red Sox, 6-4 and the Chicago
White Sox defeated the Philadel
phia Athletics, 13-5, in other Amer
ican League games.
Giants Trip Reds 7-4
Meanwhile, in the National
League, the New York Giants
stretched their winning streak to
ten games, beating the Cincinnati
Reds, 7-4. The Philadelphia Phils
nipped the Chicago Cubs, 3-5, in
12 innings in completing a sus
pended game of July 22 and then
downed the Cubs 4-1, in the regu
lar scheduled night game. The
Boston Braves clipped the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 3-1. Rain washed
out a game between St. Louis and
Brooklyn in the third inning.
‘Sailor Bob ’ Favored to Win
Light-Heavy Crown Tonight Carroll Cop Honors
New York, Aug-.- 22—(A 5 )—Joey
Maxim risks his light heavyweight
title for the first time tonight
against powerful Irish Bob Mur
phy and the odds are 5 to 7 the
champion will become the sixth
boxing king to lose his crown this
year.
Rising support for the strong,
hard-hitting challenger may boost
the price favoring the California
redhead to as much as 1 to 2 by
the time their 15-round scrap gets
under way at 8 p. m. (CST) in
Madison Square Garden.
When the fight was first made
Maxim was installed as a big
favorite. The hard-hitting but
awkward Murphy figured to be a
cinch for the clever champion.
But that was before the tall
Clevelander absorbed a thor
ough shellacking from Ezzard
Charles on May 30.
This is Joey’s first outing since
and he hasn’t showed much im
provement over his Chicago form.
He has looked very slow afoot in
his camp drills and fast footwork
is a must for the defensive-minded,
counter-punching 175-pound boss.
He’ll need all his elusiveness to
evade the bull-like rushes of the

Cribbers Given
Chance to Go
To Notre Dame
South Bend, Ind., Aug - . 22
— (AP) — An unidentified
“very wealthy man” will
send any of the 90 recently
expelled West Point cadets
through the University of Notre
Dame.
There are two strings attached—
they must avoid' varsity athletics
and show financial need.
Notre Dame disclosed the offer
yesterday and said the anonymous
“wealthy man” said he made it
13GC2IUS0 *
“I feel with millions that in the
American tradition a man who
makes a mistake should have a
reasonable chance to rehabilitate
himself.”
Notre Dame called the offer ”in
keeping with good Christianity.”
Among the 90 cadets dismissed
from the. U. S. military academy
at West Point were almost all
members of the Army football
team. Army and Notre Dame, long
time gridiron rivals, haven’t met
since 1947.
