Wednesday, September 28, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 He Runs Over *Em Croiv Doesn t Dodge Foes By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Staff “There’s a greater relationship between Crow and Kimbrough than the fact that their names rhyme,” said Bill Meek, head coach of the University of Houston, earlier this week after watching the Aggie sophomore batter LSU’s Tigers for 130 yards and two touchdowns. He was referring, of course, to the recent comparisons between John David Crow and A&M’s im mortal All-American fullback, John Kimbrough.

As a freshman John led the first- year men in ground gained with 344 yards in 41 carries for an 8.3 yard-per-try average. He was sec ond in scoring with 20 points. At safety he picked off three opponent passes and returned four punts for 41 yards. Piaising his ball-carrying ability LSU head coach l^aul Dietzel com mented, “When you see Crow go around end and run right over two of your best tacklers, you begin to think you are out-personneled.” John currently stands third in the Southwest Conference with 157 yards gained on 23 tries for a 6.8 yard average. All state two years in both foot ball and basketball. Crow was picked on the 1954 high school All American team. Married, he and his wife Carolyn have another promising halfback in four-month- old John Jr. Yankees Big Favorite In Series New York’s Tommy Byrne (16- 5) and Brooklyn’s Bill Does (10-4) toe the mound against each other before a sell-out crowd at Yankee Stadium tomorrow in the second game of the 1955 World Series. An Associated Press poll among baseball writers rated the New York Yankees a 2-1 favorite to whip the Brooklyn Dodgers in the series which opened today. Of the 49 writers, representing the nation’s newspapers and wire services, 31 picked the Yankees. Only 18 figured the Dodgers finally will break the ice and win their first classic. Most of the experts concluded it will be a six-game series. Only two, Joe Williams of the New York World Telegram and Sun, and Jack Hand of the Associated Press, en vision a four-game sweep, and both picked the Yankees. The Dodgers have sent eight National League pennant winners into the Fall classic only to lose. The Yankees are old hands at beat ing the National League’s finest, having copped 16 out of 20 World Series. Carl Erskine (11-8), a right hander who struck out 14 Yanks for a new series record in 1953, probably will work the Friday game for the Dodgers, with either Karl Spooner (8-6) or Johnny Podres (10-10) going Saturday. Yankee Manager Casey Stengel will probably start Bob Grim (7-5) in the Ebbetts Field opener Friday.
