' It won't be any surprise to us if Casey Stengel's New York
Yankees win their fifth consecutive American Sue pennant
From the way the smoke signals have been roaring out of St Peters
burg, it looks as if the Yankees are "it" for one more year at least
From the way the trend has been in recent years everyone
u01lJ s xanKecs will win again once
w uc no exception. Again it will be up to
the ever-trying Cleveland Indians to try once more to dethrone the
Yankee bandwagon while the hustling Chicago White Sox have an
outside chance of slipping in the money in the event the two giants
happen to kill each other off.
However, there is a key figure in the Yanks' bid for another
world's championship. The man of attraction is their aging short
stop, Phil Rteruto. If the 34-year-old Rizzuto's legs should happen
to give way under the weight of the strenuous campaign, the Yanks'
hopes could go down with him.
Mickey Mantle, who came through in brilliant fashion last year

hunea nniiianuy aunng me laou campaign.
Al Lopez's Indians will r.-eed that ever-lacking batting punch if
they have any illusions of unseating the Bronx Bombers. It's no se
cret that the club has the league's top pitchers with gents like Bob
Lemon, Early Wynn, Mike Garcia, and Bob Feller still around; but
they still cant seem to get the hitting when they need it most.
This will have to be the year that Luke Easter will finally live
up to expectations if the Tribe wants to snag the AL bunting. The
frequently-Injured Easter hit only .263 last year although he drove
in 97 runs. Al Rosen and Larry Doby, their two big guns who col
laborated for 209 RBI's last season, should again be the leading
fence-busters.
With the addition of two-time batting champ Ferris Fain from
the A's, Paul Richards' White Sox should have the finest infield in
the league with Fox at second, Carrasquel at short and Vern Ste
phens at third. However, there is a big question mark when one
mentions Stephens. The former Red Sox star has been plagued by
injuries, but if he is all mended, he could be just the tonic the Chisox
need.
It should be a dog-eat-dog battle for fourth place with every
team except Detroit in the thick of the scramble. Jimmy Dykes'
Athletics, with two fine pitchers like Bobby Shantz and the surpris
ing Harry Byrd, should nose out the Washington Senators, Boston
Red Sox and St. Louis Browns.
When the day of April 13 rolls around there will be one slogan
floating around the league and that is "stop those Yankees." Every
one is gunning for Stengel's proteges and only time will tell how
successful they will be.

Bowl Question
Decision Due
The big question around the
mid-west today is whether the
pact between the Big Ten and
West Coast concerning the Rose
Bowl will be eliminated.
Although the actual vote will
not be taken until May Bt the an
nual Big Ten meeting, the contro
versy has come out into the open
for the public to see. It seems that
as matters stand now Purdue and
Northwestern hold the key to the
final decision.
Michigan State, Minnesota and
Wisconsin have given indications
that they win attempt to set up a
bloc against the extension of the
Rose Bowl relationship.
Public opinion tends to give the
nod to the continuance of the pact.
Minnesota and Wfcconsin have al
ready voted negatively against the
extension and Illinois has stated
that they would accept a renewal
with certain limitations.
If Purdue and Northwestern de
cide against the renewal, there
will be a deadlock and the can
cellation of the part will result.
There is reason to believe though
that Purdue will vote for the con
tinuance of the .pact, but North
western's view Is still in doubt.
A 6-4 affirmative Vote Is needed
for the renewal of the pact of the
