Giajits (M Winning Streak;
Dodger Fans Getting Uneasy
Only Five Games Separate Flatbush
Team and Surging New Yorkers
Perfect Form

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.

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.

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

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.

Sloan, Third baseman, yell for the ball while Alton Greeven, Aus

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,

boy in the yahd who ain’t no big'
ger’n yo fist—must not weighed
over 130 pounds. I asked him if
he knew the boy I was lookin’
foah and he says Tm him.’ Well,
naow, I ain’t gonna get roped in

Somebody asked him if he plan

“They won’t fiah me,” he re
plied, “because Im going to al

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 . . .

He’s going into uniform for many months
—maybe longer. When the gang gets
together it will be mostly the girls. How
are you going to take it?
Feel sorry for yourself? Or will you make
him proud of you by doing a needed job, too?
Nursing needs you—just as your country
needs him. Now that more and more grad
uate nurses are going into the armed services,
there are fewer professional nurses than ever
here at home —to care for the new babies,
the crippled children, the sick, the elderly,
the war veterans—and to teach people how
to stay weU.
EnroU now as a Student Nurse in a col
legiate or hospital School of Nursing. Make
him proud of you by following in the foot
steps of the heroines of nursing history. When
he comes home, you will be equipped for a
professional, rewarding career you can follow
all your life, with knowledge you can later
use as a wife and mother.
Few further information, talk to the Di
rector of Nurses at your local hospital, or
your school adviser, or apply to a collegi
ate or hospital^Schooi of Nursing.
