Nebraska coaching circles lost perhaps the most colorful and one
of its most productive basketball coaches this week with the an
nouncement that Bob Faris has resigned" as Fremont basketball
coach to take over the athletic electorship of the school
Not only was Faris a stickler for sound basketball principles
and fundamentals, but a master psychologist. He had the power
to bring his team up when the chips were down.
His record will show only a fair percentage of victories, but
the team's stupendous showings in the past two state high school
tournaments have gained Faris, the teams and Fremont the plaudits
of prep enthusisasts.
His Tigers lost numerous encounters during
the early stages of the past season and arose
from the depths of defeat to almost successfully
regain their state crown.
The news will undoubtedly be welcomed by the
coaches who have been the victims of the humili
ating and very potential Fremont stall. It's many
a college coach who envies the Tiuermen's ability
to hold that ball under pressure.
Majors Will Never Be The Same
There is no question in the mind of Phil
"Scooter" Rizzuto, New York Yankee shortstop.

known. Never will there be an individual with
the spiritual guidance of team in his grasp as
dounv joe uiMaggio.
Ted Williams will also hang up his Vermillion socks to don
the uniform of the Marines. These two performers were monu
ments in American league history and were, from the practical
pecuniary standpoint, excellent drawing cards.
It'll take quite a passing of time for this writer to forget that
balmy afternoon when Thumpin' Theodore came to bat against
Lou Brissie of the Athletics. Brissie was a war veteran who suf
fered from some flying shrapnel in the Pacific campaign and whose
leg was injured for life.
Williams can punch that ball out and he gave the croTd no
room to doubt it when he took a healthy cut at Brissle's next
delivery. The ball was gone with the crack of the bat and before
the eachoes of the smash faded Brissie was in great pain on
the mound.
The ball was smashed richt throueh the mound and Brissle's
leg caught it before it could get past the hill. It was a base hit all
right, but Ted Williams was a picture of sincere disgust and dejection.
He half -ran to first base, looking at Brissie all the way.
When he reached first, he kicked the bag with all his might to
show that even though his placement was unintentional, it was
done and he had committed a misdeed.
This is brought out to show that many scribes have ridiculed
Williams, and perhaps justly; but there are few ball players with
Williams' desire to win and the deep respect he holds for his team
mates, opposition and the fans.
Pitching Prospects Produce Praises
It's still a little early to tell, but it'll be interesting to follow
the senior circuit's top pitchers during this major league campaign.
For instance, will Ralph Branca get the chance to blow the
pennant for the Dodgers this year We saw the towering Flat
bush flipper fire 'em down in 1950 when "he was enjoying some
great major league success. I pitied the batters that had to
stand in against the slants of the 6 foot, 4 inch hulk.
Ole Rip Sewell is still in there trying for the Chicago Cubs'
retired baseball players (that is, after they retire, they join the
Cubs for lack of a WPA.) How about that day in Wrigley Field
in 1950 when the Pirates and the Cubs were at each other tooth-
and-nail and Rip, then with the Pirates, came in to relief pitch
Rip came up with his famous "blooper ball" and Phil Cav
aretta patiently waited until the course of flight of the ball had
come out of the stratosphere. Philbuck smashed the apple over
the ivy covered fence and the Cubs salvaged one of their few
precious wins.
I might inject about this time how the sentiment of Chicago's
baseball fans has changed. Folks around Comiskey Park (home
of the White Sox) refer to the Cubs as the "Windy City's 'other
team.' "
We can recall Forbes Field fans out Pittsburgh way, calling
Preacher Roe a bum when he played for the Bucs. We recall
how they cringed when he played against the Pirates the past
season. Tiempo Passa!
Look out for two pitchers this season who are going to make
it tough on the leaders in the National league this term. Bob Rush
of the Cubs and Murry uicKson or tne .Pirates will both end up
with 20-game winning records despite the fact they'll be nlayine
for teams buried deep in the second division of the league.

Colorado Matmen
Shine In AAU Meet
There meet records are almost
sure bets to be broken, and
there is a possibility that a
fourth mark might fall.
In the shot-put, Wally Tanner
of Colorado is the outstanding
candidate to ring up a new mark.
Tanner's best toss of the season
is 51 feet, 5V4 inches, while the
Invitational meet record is 50 feet
10 inches.
Kansas State's Rollin Prather
set the present shot-put record in
1947.
Gordon Rlddell of Colorado
A&M, who doubles as a track
man and a gymnast, is a good
bet in the pole vault. Rlddell
has gone 13 feet, 11 inches, and
the Invitational- record is 13
feet, 8116 inches, set in 1949
by Warren Bateman of Colo
rado.
Lowry Field has an almost
thing record-breaker in Frank
Kilgore, a miler, who has bettered
the Invitational mile record of
4:30.5.
The present mile mark is hlrf
by Paul Cunkle of Colorado, who
set the record in 1939.
Thane Baker of Kansas State
and Alex Burl of Colorado A&M
have tied the Invitational 60
yard dash standard of :06.Z dur
ing the regular indoor season.
Jerome Biffle of Denver Univ
ersity set the present record of

one-tenth of a second off the
