Mat Squad
Needs Men
B. R. Patterson, who will coach
both th? esuing and gymnas
tic teams this year, has announced
that he is seeking material for
both these squads.
"Pat" insists that experience is
not a prerequisite. He is especially
interested in finding some "mat
men" who could weigh in at 136,
155 or 165 pounds. Since his gym
nastics team will make its first
appearance Dec. 2, he is looking
for men to try out.
Some of the returning lettermen
with which "Pat" is already work
ing are such stars as "Mike" Di
Baise and "Peewee" Yambor in
wrestling and Leo Geier and Phil
Sprague in gymnastics.
Some of the freshmen competi
tors on the mat are Don Burson,
Marvin Kelly, Don Rouh, Jim
Spearman, Alton Gilam, Don
Schuland and Don Vermillian.
First year men in gymnastics are
Bob Norton, Bob Yarwood, Dick
Robinson and Elgin Robinson.

The Boston Red Sox flunked their final exam Monday
and it took six towels to dry the tears from our eyes. Even
with the great Joe McCarthy at the helm Boston missed a
great series in Beantown. Lou Boudreau probably earned
another contract with Cleveland when his Indians won the
American League pennant. There had been a lot of talk that
the Cleveland front office was set to give Lou his walking
papers if the Indians didn't take the flag.
We still like the way Billy Southworth's Boston Braves
have performed the past season. We'll even go out on the
limb so far as to say that Feller or no Feller, Southworth's
Braves will win their first world series since 1914. Taking
a step farther, the Braves will win the first game this after
noon. B. R. Patterson will double as coach of both the Uni

The shifting of Tom Novak to his favored post is pro
bably a very smart move on the part of Coach Potsy Clark.
Novak has always been a stalwart on defense and the big
Omahan should prove invaluable on offensive play. Frank
Collopy's return to the fullback position is nothing new.
Collopy drilled in the fullback slot last spring and is always
good for that extra yardage needed for a first down. The
rugged back gave a good account of himself in the Minne
sota game.

Redskins Take Over 1948
Roles in VJorld Series
This year's World Series was
given back ot the Redskins.
The Cleveland Indians and the
Boston Braves will write finis to
one of the most hectic baseball
seasons ever played starling this
afternoon at Boston. Both teams
have waited over 20 years for
this day.
In 1914, George Stalling's Bos
ton "miracle" team swept from
last place on July 4th to cop the
flag in September and then went
oon to topple the invincible
Philadelphia A's in four straight
World Series contests.
1920 was the last year Cleve
land ever struck pay dirt in the
American League race. The
Ohioans have been strong con
tenders for a number of years
but have always faded in the
stretch battles.
This year's fall classic could
prove to be one of the most col
orful in history. What could be
more enjoyable to see than GT
Satchel Paige, the ageless Cleve
land pitcher, hurling his first
World Series game! Bobby Fel
ler also gets his initial try at
World Series glory along with
Peerless Lou Boudreau, the
Tribe manager and shortstop.
Bob Hope probably is the happi
est man in the land. The comed

Boston's Braves have finally
hit the top under the leadership
of Billy Southworth, the former
St. Louis Cardinal pilot. With
the ambitious backing dt its three
owners, Lou Perini and Co., the
Braves held then: first-place po
sition for the greater part of the
regular season. John Sain and
Warren Spahn pitched the Bos
tonians into the series. Sain fin
ished the season with 24 wins,
the top in erther loop, the Spahn
threatened the 20-game mark as
the year closed. The Braves
suffered a blow near the end of
tthe season when huge Jeff
Heath, a former Cleveland out
fielder, broke his ankle sliding
into home. Manager Southworth
has promised Heath that the
Braves will win this series for
him.
