THE BATTALION

Bombers ThinkLate-Comer
Will Save Pennant Hopes
By RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
The New York Yankees won the
1949-50 pennants with late season
acquisitions f r o m the National
League. Today the Bombers are
banking on another Johnny-come-
lately t’rom the senior circuit to
insure success in their current
drive for the American League
flag.
Johnny Sain, veteran righthand
er, is the latest Yankee importation
from the National League. The
Yanks acquired Sain from the Bos
ton Braves Wednesday and cele
brated the purchase by trouncing
the Browns, 15-2 under the lights
in St. Louis. The win gave them
a first place tie with Cleveland,
which dropped a 3-0 decision to
Philadelphia in the afternoon.
Yanks Add Two
Sain, picked up for $50,000 and
minor league pitcher Lew Burdette,
will join the fanks in Washington
Saturday. The 32-year-old vet is
tabbed for relief duty. He won
only five and lost 13 for the Braves
this season. Sain, a 20-game win
ner three times, was waived out
of the National League. To make
room for Sain the Yankees re
leased Jack Kramer, another vet
eran righthander.
The Yanks dipped into the Na
tional League in August of 1949
and bought Johnny Mize from the
New York Giants. Mize’s big bat
helped win the pennant and also
the World Series. Lastf year the
Yanks procured Johnny Hopp from
Pittsburgh in September and
Hopp’s pinch-hitting and pinch
running figured prominently in the
Yanks’ successful defense of their
laurels.
Browns Stopped
A 11 i e Reynolds stopped the
Browns on two hits as the Yanks
closed out their final tour of the
West with a 7-4 record. The Yanks,
idle for the next two days, club
bed Brownie ace Ned Carver and
two relief pitchers for 17 hits.

Turkey Day
Game Foiled
A&M and Texas University
won’t play their traditional
Turkey Day football game on
Thanksgiving Day this season.
The game, scheduled for
November 29, misses Thanks
giving Day by a week. Gover
nor Shivers has designated
only one day for Thanksgiv
ing this year, and that day pre
cedes the Aggie-TU game by a
week.
But the game gets another
chance next year. A new law
passed by the Legislature sets
Thanksgiving for the last
Thursday in November for all
future years. It becomes ef
fective in 1952.
UCLA Grid Story Says
Graduation Hits Hard
At Defensive Eleven
(This is the third of a series
of six stories evaluating 1951
UCLA football prospects, posi-
tion-by-position.)
Offensively the 1951 UCLA foot
ball team wasn’t hurt too much at
guard by graduation but Coach
Red Sanders’ eleven was mighty
hard hit defensively. The Bruins
have one standout center but lack
experienced reserve strength.
' That’s how Jim Myers, UCLA
line boss, sums up the middle-of-
the-line situation at Bruinville for
1951.
The loss of Bruce MacLachlan,
one of the PCC’s top all-around
guards last year, is a big blow.
Two other strong defensive guards
now departed are Francis Mandula
and Jim (Buck) Buchanan. Only
defensive guard remaining with
any experience is Chuck Fraychi-
neaud, 206, of North Hollywood,
Calif.
Fraychineaud Biggest
Fraychineaud is the biggest
guard on the squad but lacks
speed. A little more fire and ag
gressiveness and he could be the
best on the team. He’s also been
assigned offensive tackle duties
this season.
Two comparatively small defen-
iive guards who showed to advan
tage in spring drills were Dan
Laidman, 160, of Burbank, Calif.,
rnd Bill Smith, 176, of Madera,
Calif. Laidman, up from junior
varsity ranks, is the toughest, most
aggressive player on the squad but
the question is how long can he
stand up against 220-lb. giants who
will be opposing him.
Smith is also handipapped by
size but appears to have lots of
natural instincts that go to make
up a good lineman. Other defen
sive guards who will see action in
clude George Krober, 196, of Los
Angeles; Bob Fischer, 195, of
North Hollywood, Calif.; Alan Raf-
fee, 193, of Beverly Hills, Calif.;
and Jim Salsbury, 190, of Los
Angeles.
Krober Strong
Krober, up from JV ranks, is
■strong but lacks experience. Fisch
er, another junior varsity grad
uate, reacts good and if speed im
proves could help. Raffee, ham
pered by injuries last year, played
24 minutes in 1950. Salsbury,
powerful frosh candidate, is prob
ably a year away.
Offensively, the Bruins have
three fast, hard-blocking veterans
returning, in Ed Flynn, 186, of San
Francisco; Ray Lewand, 181, of
Gardena, Calif.; and Bob Zelinka,
182, of Los Angeles The danger
of losing both Lewand.and Zelinka
to the military draft has the
Bruins worried.
Flynn was a standout p’erformer
on offense last year but was slight
ly disappointing this spring. Coach
Myers is toying with the idea of
using Flynn on defense, too, this
season. Both Lewand and Zelinka
have lots of punch and speed and
the Bruins will be critically hit if
they are drafted.
Most improved guard to come
out of spring practice—Rudy Feld
man, 188, of Palo Alto, Calif.—
figures to help with offensive
chorgs. Although not too fast,
Fedman, 1949 frosh star who gain
ed JV experience last year, is an
explosive player who could put in a
strong bid for starting honors.
Smith; Tony Dickinson, 183, of
Seattle, Wash.; and Terry Debay,
178, of Canoga Park, Calif., are
other eager but inexperienced of
fensive guards.
Pace At Center
Holding down the offensive cen
ter job is veteran Gayle Pace, 189,
of Santa Anna, Calif., a vastly un
der-rated player. Coach Myers
rates Pace as the hardest working
lineman on the team and looks for
him to have a banner senior year.
The Bruins lost their only ex
perienced reserve at center when
George Morgan, 190, of Alhambra,
Calif., announced he would be un
able to play this year because of
a mysterious knee ailment. Spell
ing Pace will be Ira Pauly, 188, of
Los Angeles and John Peterson,
186, of Los Angeles,. Both are
green.
Also capable of stepping in for
offensive center duties is All-
American Don Moomaw, 220, of
Santa Anna, Calif. Moomaw gain
ed experience at this post last year
and although he’ll primarily han
dle linebacking chores again he al
so is set for offensive work at both
tackle and center. The presence
of Moomaw adds needed- depth to
the center situation.

Sox Beat Tigers
In other American League games
the Boston Red Sox turned back
the Detrdit Tigers, 7-5, and the
Washington Senators nosed out
the Chicago White Sox, 2-1 in 13
innings.
The Red Sox beat the Tigers
with two runs in the ninth on a
single by Johnny Pesky, walk and
singles by Walt Dropo and Clyde
Vollmer. Ted Williams poled his
27th homer for the Sox in the
fourth and starred afield.
Singles by Mickey Vernon and
Sam Mele followed by Nelson Fox’
error allowed Vernon to score
Washington’s winning run against
Chicago. Reliefer Mickey Harris
was the winner and Randy Gum-

In the National League, the
pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers
humbled the Cincinnati Reds, 13-1;
the runner-up New York Giants

Jim Hearn stopped the last place
Pirates on three hits in winning a
duel from Murry Dickson, seeking
his 18th victory.
The Cards scored a run in the
ninth without a hit to edge the

Dick Cole, rookie righthander,
turned in his first major league
victory in pitching Boston to a
three-hit triumph over Chicago.
Pointers Enthusiastic
As Fall Practice Starts
West Point, N. Y., Aug. 30—(TP)
—Army’s small and inexperienced
football squad started practice
Wednesday full of enthusiasm and
coach Earl (Red) Blaik conceded
that “the entire season will be one
of surprises and we could even sur
prise ourselves.”
Fifty men turned out in con
trast to last year’s 90. The whole
sale cribbing dismissals, academic
failures and graduation have wiped
out the Army powerhouse of yes
teryear.
As the cadets started their work
out word came that a New York
Bar Association hearing was in
formed by Robert Daru, general
counsel of the bar’s committee on
justice, that six cadets accused of
cheating had been restored to duty.
No officials here would comment
and there was no indication wheth-
Tennis Stars Play
Poor Ball In Match
Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 30—(TP)
—Billy Talbert couldn’t hit a ten
nis ball through a hangar door
and Earl Cochell couldn’t keep his
temper, and between the two they
made a mess of the fifth day of
the national tennis championships.
Talbert, the 32-year-old New
York City star, went down by one-
sider scores of 6-1, 6-1, 7-5 to the
vast disappointment of 6,000 fans
in the west side stadium.
Cochell became so occupied with
a Vendetta against the crowd that
he forgot about playing tennis
and went down to Gardnar Mulloy
of Miami, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2.
er football stars were included in
the six.
Experienced men were few and
far between in the squad that
worked out on the plains of West
Point. From last year’s varsity
blank has John Krobock of Hazel-
ton, Pa., and Ed Weaver of Kings
ton, N. Y., both ends. From the
1950 junior varsity he has Donald
Fuqua, Little Rock, Ark., and Carl
Guess of Temple, Tex., both backs.
Despite the thinness of his
squad, Blaik went right ahead with
plans to use the two platoon sys
tem. He admitted, however, that
he may substitute as low as seven
men at a time instead of the full
11.
“Even with reduced personnel,
the opportunities to do well will
be based on the platoon system,”
Blaik declared.
In the squad of 50 reported to
Coach Blaik were seven plebes,
but Blaik is not counting on them.
To a great extent, Army’s back-
field willl be made up of last year's
plebes—admittedly only a so-so
team.

The years have brought poverty and privation
to this aged gentlewoman, but they have not de
stroyed her spirit nor dimmed her faith in God.
She earns a scanty subsistence for herself and
her dependent grandchild with her own hands,
but she holds no bitterness in her heart and is as
grateful to God for her frugal loaf as if it were
a feast of the finest foods.
It takes faith and strong character to weather
thestormsof adversity without damage tothesoul.
There are people who enjoy abundance without
the remotest thought of God’s providence. When
misfortunecomesand their house of sand crashes,
they go down with it. They lack the sustaining
power of an humble heart and active faith.
Religion teaches men to enjoy prosperity with
humility, and to rise above misfortune through
honest effort and faith in God.
This fine old mother, who thanks God for her
loaf and pitcher, has not lived and wrought and
trusted in vain. Her life and her faith are the
glory of humanity and the hope of the world.
THE CHURCH FOR ALL .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for ^e building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why, evqry person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
..which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
