On The Sports Scene
Indicated Present Series
Indicated Presetn Series
By MAX KREITMAN
Sports Staff Writer
It seems like yesterday that the shout of "play ball" was heard
throughout the different parks of the nation. Yet, here on this first
day of October It is World Series time and the end of another baseball
campaign.
This year will mark the first time in five years that neither the
New York Yankees or the Brooklyn Dodgers haven't participated in
the Series. It is also the first time in two seasons that a subway
teries hasn't been witnessed.
THIS SERIES could prove quite interesting in the fact that these
same two squads barnstormed together during the spring months on
the way back to their respective sites.
The Cleveland Indians went into the Series slight favorite. The
Indians won the pennant in a breeze finishing eight full games ahead of
the second place Yankees. They finished the season winning 112
games, good for a new American League mark. The old mark of
110 was set by the 1926 Yanks.
The main success this season for the Indians was their strong
pitching. Besides their "big three" of Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, and
Mike Garcia, they got unexpected mileage out of the aging veteran
Bob Feller, Detroit cast-offs Hal Newhouser and Art Houtteman, and
rookie Ray Narleski. Newhouser reported to spring training merely
on a trial basis. The Indians were doubtful at first as to keep him or
give him his release. But from out of the pullpen, he showed form
that made him a 20-game winner in the early '40's. Also Art was one
to be on the doubtful list. Since he was injured in a car accident in
1948, he didn't come close to living up to expectations with the Tigers,
finally they were forced to give up on the young right hander. But
he too made good with the American Leaguers and finished the season
with a 15-8 record.
ON THE power side, only Bob Avila and Al Rosen finished
tfith a .300 batting average. Avila led the circuit with a -.342 mark
while Rosen finished seventh with a respectable .310 average. Larry
Doby and Al Smith also proved to be big assets. Doby hit 32 homers
and batted in 135 runs, while Smith batted .280. Vic Wertz and Dave
Philley also played key roles in the picture as did Wally Westlake
and Jim Hegan. As a team, the Indians batted .262 and led the
junior circuit in home runs with 152.
For the National League champions, the New York Giants, it was
a team triumph. For the most part, the Giants boasted one of the
strongest bullpens in either league, the main key to their success.
Marv Grissom, Hoyt Wilhelm, and Al Worthington, were the big
assets. These three carried the brunt of the Giant bull crew and
saved at least 30 of the Giants wins. Johnny Antonelli, Sal Maglie,
and Ruben Gomez, proved to be the workers of the pitching corps.
Antonelli was the real surprise of the staff. It was Johnny and Don
Liddle that were traded to the Giants in a winter deal that sent Bobby
Thompson to the Milwaukee Braves. Johnny 'proved to be a big
addition winning 21 and losing seven. In addition, he led the league
in-. earned run with an average of 2.31. Maglie copped 14 wins
during the season, and Gomez finished with a 17-9 mark.
WILLY MAYS and Don Mueller led the team in batting, but Dusty
Rhodes and Bobby Hoffman proved just as valuable. Mays and
Mueller fought it out for the batting crown with Mays winning the
title with a .345. Mueller finished second with .342.
':. As a team, the Giants finished with a .266 average. They copped
their circuit in home runs with a total of 103.
The likely candidates for the Most Valuable Award and Rookie-ot-the-Year
awards in the two leagues will be Willy Mays and Walley
Moon in the National League and Yogi Berri or Bob Lemon and Bob
Grim in the American League. The world championship goes to the
Cjiants in six garnet.

Iowa State, under the guidance
of a new coaching staff, and Ne
braska's Cornhuskers get together
Saturday in the 49th meeting of
these two elevens on the gridiron.
It will mark Nebraska's home op
ener. Kickoff is at 2 p.m.
Both teams came through Big
Ten tests a week ago without pick
ing up crippling injuries. Nebraska
faded late against Minnesota and
Iowa State found itself out-manned
at Northwestern after going into
the fourth quarter with a 14-14
deadlock.
Both teams indicated a stouter
defense than offense in their
games against Minnesota and
Northwestern last week.
A
OOTID MTU1
T3I
for
Their offensive patterns follow
one another in the unit-a-quarter
plan. Bill Glassford of Nebraska
has switched to the split or sliding
"T", Coach Vince di Francesca
is using the Box "T."
The game at Ames a year ago
was a free scoring affair with Ne
braska finally getting the decision,
27 to 19.
BOTH COACHES have been
working hard this past week to
polish offenses, inasmuch as both
were convinced that their defense?
showed to better advantage against
Big Ten opposition than their scor
ing machines.
Glassford stated again that it
would take three touchdowns to
win.
Ron Clark, banged up a bit
against Minnesota, should be ready
for the Saturday fray.
