Giajits (M Winning Streak; Dodger Fans Getting Uneasy Only Five Games Separate Flatbush Team and Surging New Yorkers Perfect Form Horae and rider show the perfect form that produced prize money in the Colorado State Fair rodeo bareback bucking contest in Pueblo. Spurring high ahead of the cinch is Harry Tompkins, of Dublin, Texas, who tied for first in the first go-round. The high- jumping horse is Sunshine. By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer There’s no evidence of panic in Brooklyn today, but the citizens of flatbush are growing uneasy over the exploits of Leo Durocher’s surging New York Giants. The hot shots from the banks of the Harlem River have soared to within five games of the pace-set ting Brooklyn Dodgers on the wings of a sensational 16-game winning streak. The Giants increased their un beaten streak Monday as they took a doubleheader from the Chicago Cubs, 5-4 in 12 innings and 6-3. The Dodgers split a twi-night doubleheader with Pittsburgh, win ning the opener, 5-0, but losing the second game, 5-2. The contenders in the tight American League scramble were idle. They resume action today with the Cleveland Indians, out in front by a game ,entertaining the Philadelphia Athletics while the runner-up New York Yankees are at St. Louis. The third-place Bos ton Red Sox play at Detroit and the fourth place Chicago White Sox are at home against Washing ton. The Athletics shaded the Detroit Tigers, 1-0, in the only American League game Monday. In other National League games ,the Bos ton Braves captured a twi-night doubleheader from the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3 and 4-2, and the Philadelphia Phils swept a twi- night program from Cincinnati, 2-0 and 3-0. Larry Jansen posted his 17th victory for the torrid Giants in the opener against Chicago. The Cubs pushed home a run in the top. of the 12th but the Giants came right back with two in their half to pull it out. Whitey Lockman singled with the bases loaded to send home the tying run and pinch-hitter Bill Rigney knocked in the winning counter with a fly ball. The Giants encountered easier sailing in the second game, running up a 6-1 lead in seven innings. Home runs by Ed Stanky and Monte Irvin eased Rookie A1 Cor win to his fifth straight victory without a loss. Home runs by Hank Sauer and Bob Ramazzotti accounted for all of Chicago’s runs. Ralph Branca turned in one of the finest performances of his career in the first game at Brook lyn. The victory was Branca’s 12th and second straight shutout. Cluyde McCullough beat the Dodgers almost singlehanded in the nightcap as he drove in four runs on a double and a home run. UCLA Grid Story Says Situation At Tackle Just Fair (Note: This is the second of a series of six stories evaluating UCLA’s 1951 football prospects, position-by-position. The tackle situation is discussed here; run down on guards and centers com ing up next.) Los Angeles (Spl.)—Jim Myers, capable UCLA line boss who does n’t mince words, says the 1951 Bruin tackles are untried for the llnost part but could develop and compare favorably with last year’s crop of stalwarts at this position. The Bruins lost their three main stays jit offensive tackle with graduation of Breck Stroschein, Roy Jenson and Xavier Mena. ’Stroschein earned all-Coast honors last year and his all-around ability and coihpetitive fire will be espec ially missed. The plan to use Santa Ana’s Bonn Moomaw, 1951 All-American sophomore linebacker, at offensive right tackle this season figures to help considerably. The 220-lb. Moomaw is strong and active enough to be more than just ade quate with double duties. Two other seasoned tackles are ready to go along with Moomaw. They are Hal Mitchell, 210, of Lawndale, Calif., and Ed Miller, 212, of Pasadena. Mitchell, a two- year veteran with loads of savvy and spirit to make up for his lack of speed, figures to be a near 60- minute man. Coach Myers says Mitchell should be one of the top tackles on the Pacific Coast this year. Miller, who played some fine de fensive tackle last year, has the ability to be a standout all-around performer. Mentor Myers is count ing on him for a lot of offensive duty this season. Miller is a key man in the Bruin hopes for ’51. Bill Samarin, 210, a transfer from USC who propped at Roose- Little League Play Top Golfers To Open Links Monticello, N. Y., Aug. 28— UP)—Sam Snead, Jimmy Dem- aret and Craig Wood will have a chance to hit the jackpot when the new Concord Inter national Golf course opens here on Friday, Sept. 7. Golfer Ray Parker, who is rrianaging director of the Con cord Hotel course, says he will pay the star’s $50 for each par hole, $100 for every birdie and $250 for each eagle. A par on each of the 18 hojes would mean $900 to one of the stars. Par for the long layout of 7,062 yards is 71. The course, which took two years to complete, overlooks Kiameshe Lak in the Catskill mountains. Tuesday, August 28, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Dr. Colby Joins Dow Chemical Co. Dr. Robert W. Colby, who for the past two years has been on the staffs of the Animal Husbandry and Biochemistry and Nutrition Departments, has resigned effec tive Sept. 7 to join the staff of The Dow Chemical Company at Midland, Mich. As head of the Division of Re search dealing with cooperative projects between The Dow Chemi cal Company and various colleges of agriculture, his primary inter est will be super-vision research with large animals supported in part by grants from Dow Chemical Company. Cup Team Loses Trabert To Navy Forest Hills, Aug. 28—UP)—The props were knocked squarely from under the American Davis Cup tennis team Monday when it be came known that Tony Trabert, the wonder boy from Cincinnati, had enlisted in th Navy and ex pected to report for duty on Sept. 24. Trabert, seeded third in the na tional championships and consid ered a certainty to play both sing les and doubles for the U. S. team in its attempt to regain the inter national trophy in Australia in December, disclosed that he had enlisted rather than run the risk of being drafted after he had been dropped by his naval reserve unit in Cincinnati. Recently turned 21, the husky tennis and basketball star was in the process of eliminating Diel Mateer Jr., of Villanova, Pr., 6-2, 6-2 6-0, in a second round match when the word swept around the West Side Tennis Club that he was lost to the cup squad. The news that he expected to re port at Bainbridge, Md., next month created much more excite ment around the stadium than any of the day’s matches, which saw the seeded stars win a monotonous series of one-sided affairs as they moved toward sterner competition. Texans in summaries of Mon day’s play: Women's singles (second round) Beverly Baker, Santa Monica, defeated Margaret Varner, El Paso, 6-3, 6-4. Men’s singles (second round): William Cogt, Drexel Hill, Pa., defeated Dr. Julius Heldman, Ke- mah, Texas, 13-11, 6-4, 6-3. Electrical Workers Picket War Plant Texarkana, Tex., Aug. 28—(A 1 )— Striking Electrical Workers Union (AFL) workers picketed the Lone Star Ordnance plant yestrday in an effort to force a higher rate of pay. The Lone Star, Red River Ar senal Plant, loads bombs and sheels. The picket signs read “Sub standard wages being paid by day and Zimmerman.” Day and Zimmerman, Inc., Phil adelphia engineering firm, operates the plant which recently was re constructed after being closed since the war. The Texarkana Gazette said the electricians want the same pay for maintenance as they got for con struction work. The newspaper said the plant operators felt that under government regulations they could not pay a higher scale. Union officials could not be I’eached for comment. 24 Counties Due Loans Washington, Aug. 28—UP)—■ The Department of Agricul ture Monday designated 24 Texas counties as a disaster loan area. The farmers Home Adminis tration now can make disas ter loans to eligible farmers in the 24 counties whose crops suffered damage from severe weather conditions and insect infestations of the wheat crop. Included among the counties are some which suffered sev ere cotton loss because of ex cessive rainfall, hail and wind storm in June and July. velt High in Los Angeles, is a like ly newcomer at tackle. He wasn’t especially scintillating in spring practice but the Bruins have high hopes for him this fall. North Hollywood’s 206-lb. Chuck Fraychineaud, who lettered at de fensive guard last year, is also ticketed for offensive tackle chores this season. Jim Thomas, 210, of Pasadena, has the physical re quirements of a good tackle but he has been just another reserve player for a couple.of years. Among the returning squad and lettermen the record book shows the following time played for each last year: Moomaw, 226; Mitchell, 186; Miller, 134; Fraychineaud, 53; Thomas, 34. An upcoming freshman candi date—Larry Britten, 190, of Red lands, Calif.,—and a junior college transfer—Lyman Ehrlich, 189, of Fresno, Calif.,—are two other light but promising tackles. Britten showed lots of talent and fight in spring drills and needs only additional poundage and ex perience to be of help Ehrlich has been shifted from end and fig ures to improve at his new position as the season rolls along. All UCA tackles this year will see duty on both offense and de fense. Coach Myers makes this mighty clear. The Bruin tackle situation, although certainly none too bright because of the lack of depth and experience, should prove adequate if the players on hand live un to expectations. Bob McGregor, catcher for San Bernardino,, Calif., and Gordon Sloan, Third baseman, yell for the ball while Alton Greeven, Aus tin, Texas, third baseman, slides in for the run, in Little League World Series game. Joward of Clemson Coaching School Star I San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 28—lA*) t -S t a r of the Texas coaching chool was a big, bald-headed fel low named Frank Howard. ) Howard, who piloted Clemson to 8n unbeaten season and victory in the Orange Bowl, was one of the instructors at the school. I Frank gives the impression of an unschooled hillbilly. ] “One of the aloomnye calls and Usays there’s a 210-pounder who car. ’{run Ufi) yards in 10 seconds, and I oughtta get on him quick. I did, 11 went to a farm home and saw a boy in the yahd who ain’t no big' ger’n yo fist—must not weighed over 130 pounds.

That’s the way to stay as coach—win.” Russians Play Dangerous Ball Berlin, Aug. 28—(A*) — Playing against the Moscow Dynamo foot ball team must be a lot like throw ing rocks at the sheriff’s office. Every one of the beefy Russians is a member of the Soviet secret police (MVD). The MVD has built up quite a reputation for making people dis appear. And who wants to go out of circulation for kicking a goal? Back of the Iron Curtain they say referees often think of things they should be doing a thousand miles away when they get the call on a Dynamo game. So far there’s no record of a referee disappearing after a Dy namo contest hut the way the sat ellite people feel is this: why kick fate in the teeth? Siberia is a far cry from home and hearth. The Dynamos play a pretty good game of ball, but the psychological factor gives them terrific leverage. They say the team turned out for a contest in Czechoslovakia some time ago and a hassle devel oped when the referee called one the “wrong” way against the Dy namos. A few brave souls in the crowd applauded, but others — probably with relatives on the Czech team, | booed and complained until the ref eree reversed himself. The referee was a Bulgarian and people assumed he went back to Sofia looking over his shoulder. The Dynamos won. The Dynamos have stacked up an impressive record behind the Iron Curtain, both on and off the field. Nobody back there is very an- i xious to dispute it. While hFs away . . .
