Dodgers face Batik
In Defense Of Crown
By GARY FRANDSEK
Sports Staff Writer
Cocky Charlie Drcssen's pitch
ing corps win nave to come
with the league's finest young col
lection of pitchers to team up with
the incomparable Muslal as the
Redblrds get set for their attempt

ecssfully defend their National The Giants should be stronger
league crown. At least that's the at the plate with the full-time re
way we see it as the league gets turn of their 1950 batting star,
set for a race that should be nip
and-tuck until the final out is
made.
It's a proven statement that the
Bums- are long on power with
sluggers like Duke Snider, Jackie
Kobinson, Carl rurlllo, Roy Cam
panella and Gil Hodges pounding
tne norsenide; but when It comes
to pitching, that's a different
story.
With Russ Meyer casting aside
a I'hillie uniform for one with
the Flatbush emblem, the Dodg
ers gain a pitcher who could
prove to be a consistent winner.
However, Joe Rlack, Carl Erskine,
Billy Loes, Prencher Roe and
Ralph Branca will have to have it
once again if the Bums are to re
peat last years performance,
O
There are other facts you can't
get around while sizing up the
fast-approaching campaign. Dres
sen's proteges won only 29 while
losing 37 against the Giants, Car
dinals and Phillies. In other
words, the Bums won the pennant
by running roughshod over the
second division clubs. Going fur
ther, the Dodgers walloped the
Braves fifteen times before finally
losing to them. That, for one
thing, won't happen again.
Eddie Stanky's scrappy St.
Eouls Cardinals, the New York
Giants and the Philadelphia Phil
lies will also be in the pennant
picture from the word "go." All
three clubs with a break or two
going their way could unseat the
Bums from their highly-perched
throne. Certainly one will have to
admit that all three teams have
the machinery capable of going
all the way.
Any club with a fellow like
Stan Musial is bound to be dan
gerous, and the Cardinals are just
that. Stanky, NL Manager of the
Year in 1952, still has the hustling
old pro, Enos Slaughter, together,
Monte Irvin. Irvin, the big man
during the successful Giant pen
nant bid two years ago, insists
that this season will be his big
year. However, the pitching could
cause headaches-for Manager Leo
Durocher since old age could be
creeping up on his mound ace,
feal Mague.
If Robin Roberts, the Phillies'
28-game winner, can repeat his
1952 performance, Steve O'Neill's
youngsters could again put up
quite an argument for first place.
However, the bats of Del Ennis,
Richie Ashburn and Willie Jones
will have to boom while the arms
of Curt Simmons and Karl Drews
will again have to rack up the
wins if the Phils are to stay in
the thick of it.
Rogers Hornsby's Cincinnati
Reds look like the class of the
second division although the Chi
cago Cubs and the newly-formed
Milwaukee Braves could give
them a warm if not hot argument
for fifth place. Pittsburgh is still
a few years away from any vi
sions of leaving the cellar despite
tne fact that they still have Ralph
Kiner and Murray Dickson.
with ex-Pirate Gus Bell team
ing with sluggers Ted Kluszcwski
and Willard Marshall, the Reds
at least will have a trio of long
ball hitters that should frequently
bombard the outer boards. The
Cubs still have Hank Sauer, the
nome run specialist, while Warren
Spahn should again be a big win
ner for the Braves.
As we see it now, any one of
four clubs could win the National
League flag. There is no doubt
that it will be a dog-eat-dog af
fair all the way between the
Dodgers, Cardinals. Giants and
Phillies; but the question is,
which one will win it? Believe
me, that is a question worth de
bating.

Glassford went on to say that
there were several key men from

and might not be able to meet the

greatest problems was getting

Intramural Sports Columnist
, That fine line of distinction that
was so noticeably absent from
this year's basketball action began
to appear in the intramural vol
leyball competition after Tues
day's contests. Eleven matches
reached completion Tuesday and
nearly all 11 contests produced a
wider split between first and last
place in each league.
Defending All-University cham
pion Iranians won their second
straight match of the young sea
son by blasting the Rummies in a
two-game outing. The champs ran
up identical 15-1 victories in each
of the two games.
Riga assumed the sole leader
ship of league VIII with their sec
ond win in as many starts. .The
Rigans stopped the Spikers in two
straight sets by scores of 15-2 and
15-11.
Other league VIII action saw
Phi Epsilon Kappa win its first
of the year by easily handling
Presby House on scores of 15-4
and 15-2 while the Lutheran Stu
dent Association received its first
of the year via a forfeit from the
Cadavers.
Zeta Beta Tau climbed into a
first-place tie with Acacia in
league IV on the strength of its
victory over Pi Kappa Phi. The
Zclas ran their season mark to
2-0 on winning scores of 15-13
and 15-8. It was the second
straight defeat for the Pi Kaps.
Other action in the same
league saw Theta Chi even its
mark at 1-1 with a twin-killing
of Nebraska Co-op. The TC's
dropped the Co-opcrs in two
straight contests. 15-12 and 15-11.
Phi Delta Theta "B" and Phi
Kappa Psi "B" remained in a tie
for first position in league vi by
toppling Alpha Gamma Rho "B"
and Sigma Alpha Mu "B," re
spectively. The JPhi Dolts gained
the 2-0 bracket in three extra-1
close affairs with the Aggies. The
AGR Bees won a 16-14 game to
begin the fracas only to see the
ventful victors pull the second set
out of the fire, 17-15 and then
battle to a 15-13 third-game win.
The Phi Psi's and Sammies
swapped 15-13 victories, in the
first two games before the junior
Phi Psi's got hot and romped to
a 15-0 shtuout in the third and de
ciding set. It was the first outing
for the Sammie Bees and the sec
ond straight setback for Alpha
Gamma Rho.
Kappa Sigma "B" and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon "B" kept atop
league V on strength of free wins
Tuesday night. The Kappa Sig?
obtained the forfeit from Delta
Tau Delta "B" while Alpha Tau
Omega "B" were generous to the
Sig Alph Bees.
The third league V contest of
the day was also decided by for

Athletic Director Polsy Clark
announced Wednesday that the
University of Hawaii and Ohio
State have been assigned positions
on the Husker schedules for 1954
and 1955.
Both agreements call for two
year contracts. Future Cornhusk
ers have a lot to look forward to
in 1954. The gridders will travel
to the island metropolis during
Thanksgiving vacation in '54 so
it will not interfere with their
school work.
The Hawaiian gridders will ven

composed of heavyweight Ed Hus
mann, is entered in the national
NCAA wrestling meet. The tour
nament is scheduled for this
week-end at Penn State College
Husmann's performances during
the year in the heavyweight divi
sion provided Coach Al Partin's
wrestlers with many last match
wins. He was the top wrestler on
the team this year, with a 9-1
win-loss record.
His only loss this season was
to Iowa State's heavyweight con
tender. Ed avenged this loss re

Husmann came through in the

were eliminated, he continued on
the road to Nebraska's only indi
vidual title.
Husmann is being accompanied
on the trip East by Coach Partin.
They are planning two work-outs
along the way. The first one is
scheduled for Cornell (Ia.( Col
