Chuck Smith c;
It’s all over but the shouting . . . the 19-19 World Series
mean . . .
There’s many a sad heart today because the mighty New
Yankees soundly trounced . . . pardon, I don’t mean trounced, but
somehow managed to win four out of five games played to cop the
crown.
They’ll be talking about Don Newcombe’s five hitter a long time
. . . remember, he hurled the opening day contest against Allie Reyn¬
olds who spun a neat two hitter against the Bums . . . The Big One
Struck out 11 Yanks and didn’t walk a man . . . He was doing just
fine in the bottom half of the ninth, in fact the crowd began to sense
that they were just about to witness the first extra-inning game in
the history of the famed October classic when it happened ... on
two and nothing pitch Tommy Henrkh swung and the hall game was
over ... It was a tough one to lose but someone had to win . . .
Newcombe has lest two other games in a similar manner . . .
Remember how he was charged with the loss in All-Star game despite
his superb hurling because of a fluke play . . . and then there was
the 1-0 contest he lost to Saint Louis in the closing stages of the
penar.t race . . .
We salute the YANKEES and take our hat off to Dodgers, espe-
cially Preacher Roe for his fine performance in winning the
Dodger victory.
LET’S RAMBLE AWHILE .. . iSomehow last week’s
was not published and we’ll lake this opportunity to bring you up
to date . . . Saturday, October 1 found u.s travelling around the
countryside of the State of South Carolina . . . During the afternoon
we saw Claflin trounce Morris College 28-0 (in Sumter) and during
the evening in Columbia covered the Allen-Bethunc game with the
former winning 23-14 in a hard fought battle . . .
We also pointed out the announcement that Sam Jethroe had been
purchased by the Boston Braves . . . Remember Fields? our pointing this
out in the column penned from Ebbets . . . Swift Sammay
was purchased for around $200,000 . . .
Another thing, don’t entirely discredit the rumor printed by a
Washington daily that the Braves have bought Jackie Robinson from
the Dodgers . . . Rememlier this. Branch Rickey is a money man . . .
He sold Dizzy Dean years ago . . . Also Rickey has a pretty fair
second baseman in Eddie Miskis and if he could peddle off Hobby to
the Braves for say Warren Spahn or Johnny Sain plus around $100,-
000 frankly, I believe he would do it . . .
And then too, many folk are saying they wonder why he sold
Jethroe to the Braves . . . Could he that he’s little old for the Sage
of Flatbush and then too, Jackson Robinson is no mere youngster
either . . .
Sometime in the not too distant past there was a guy by the name
of Schultz playing first base for the Dodgers, not a bad guy on the
initial sack . . . And along came Robby and he was sold to the Phillies,
haven’t heard of him since he broke up a game against the Dodgers
. . . Then too, there’s a couple of good ball players by the name of
Eddie Stanky and Pete Reiser, both were sold to the Braves . . .
and I know you can’t forget Dixie Walker, the pride of Ebbets Field
for sometime, he was sold to the Pirates and hasn’t done much since
then ... SO PLEASE DON’T PLAY BRANCH RICKEY “CHEAP”
NOR DISCREDIT THE POSSIBILITY OF HIM SELLING ANY
PLAYER IN THE VAST DODGER CHAIN IF HE CAN GET
“REAL" MONEY FOR HIM . . .
One last fling at baseball . . . Roy Campanella caught a “whale
of a series.” . . . Artie Wilson won the Pacific Coast batting crown
with Jackie Robinson doing likewise in the NL . . .
Don Newcombe is the outstanding candidate for the “Rookie of
the Year Award” and Jackie the M. V. I’. . . . Jackson and an All-
Star outfit are slated to play in Grayson stadium on November 6
(its a Sunday . . .
King football has the sports scene all to itself now . . . Out
Georgia State way they prefer not to discuss Saturday’s loss to Claflin
. . . Incidentally, this is the first time that the Orangeburg school
has beaten State since . . . Only one person we know of predicted
that C. U. would win . . . contact me and pick up your bet . . .
Clallin Take
Ga. State 27—0
By CHUCK SMITH
Two thousand fans sat stunned
Saturday afternoon as they saw
a Georgia State College forward
wall hold Claflin University’s
powerful single-wing attack for
the first quarter, and most of the
second, then suddenly fall before
murderous onslaught as the ma¬
chine-like eleven ground out a 27
—0 victory on the G. S. C. athletic
field.
It was a battle between two
powerful lines. The crowd could
sense in the opening minutes the
team capitalizing on the breaks
would win the contest. Claflin led
7—0 at half-time.
Georgia State got the first break
as Robert Slocum hit CU’s Vin-
.cent Cleveland with a vicious takle
on the kick-off causing the swift
back to fumble with the former
recovering. Four stabs at the
line and State failed to i^ore with
the oval going over to Claflin.
The two teams engaged in punt¬
ing duel for the remaining minu¬
tes of the, quarter and through
eight of the second stanza. Then
like a loht out of the blue Den
Dixon skirted the left end of G. S.
G. to cross the goal and put his
team ahead 6—0.
Claflin struck again in the
third period when a State fumble
was recovered, and on a sustained
drive of 70-yards crossed the goal
to add six points. Again “Auto¬
matic” Talmadge kicked the extra
point as Claflin held a 14 point
margin.
With Slocum running the hall,
and then throwing it with the ac¬
curacy of a carbine, State moved
to Claflin’s thirty-yard line. Then
it happened, Nen Dixon plunged
a lateral out of the ozone and was
crossing the goal before the fans
realized what had happened. This
time, Talmadge missed the extra
point as Claflin possessed a 20—
0 lead.
It was Slocum again, as the Co¬
lumbus triple threat tailback pac¬
ed a Tiger drive which culminated
on the C. U. four-yard line. State
took to the air, then returned to
the ground, and yet, Claflin re¬
fused to have its goal crossed.
The Orangeburg squad again
took advantage of a Georgia State
miscue when Ralph Cooper inter¬
cepted a Joe Hardy pass and
swept the left side lines to score
again. Talmadge didn’t miss then,
as he kicked his third extra point I
to put Claflin ahead at 27—0 and
this was where she was when the
gun sounded ending the game.
Georgia State's forward wall,
sparked by the superb defensive
play of Vernon Mitchell, 1. e; Har¬
ry Mason, r. g; Willie Tompkins,
c.; Joe Turner, r. e.; Perry Wil¬
liams, t. and Ted Holmes, G, re¬
fused to give an inch to the heav¬
ier CU line. Slocum was his usu¬
al self,., running, kicking, and
throwing the football with the ac¬
curacy of a slingshot, and the
crowd sighed time and time again
as it saw his bullet-like heaves re¬
bound off, and from within the
arms of would-be receivers.
James Neal, a 144 pound right
half-hack, again demonstrated his
versatality as he ran the team
from the quarterback slot. Neal
was a pain in Claflin's side all
afternoon long as he sparked a
State drive, only to see it fall
short of the goalline.
The game’s story lies in the sta¬
tistics. G. S. C. ground out 224
yards running, and Claflin 48G.
C. U. completed five of eleven
passes, G. S. C. nine of sixteen.
Georgia State fumbled 11 times,
Claflin six. C. U. ground out 13
downs and held State to
The latter held the edge in
State getting 391 yards
this route and €. U. 275.

FARMER DOUBLES INCOME BY INCREASING
SOIL CONSERVATION PRACTICES
Oklahoma’s top toller d con
servaMon . farmer for 1949
Herbert J. Owens of Coyle, was
really up against it trying to
make ends meet before he bo-
gan carrying out sound soil con¬
servation praot.ces on his 155
acre farm.
His story goes back to 19S8
and 17 years of tennant farm¬
ing before that. But Mr. Owens
would like to forgat the 17
grinding years of tenancy and
begin count ng from the year
the Farmers Home Adminis¬
tration of the U. S. Department
Agriculture made him a loan
and started him on the road
ownersto p.
However, Mr. Owens, problem
end with the farm
ownership loan. His soil was
washing and blowing away
through the exposure of row-
on slopes, and his income
barely onoug'h to meet the
annual payments on his farm
after he had taken care of his
production expenses.
But in 1C<41 three years after
purchase upon the advice of
h.s FHA supervisor, he went to
his soil conservation district for
assistance. ASoil Conservation
Service technican was sent to
his farm to help him plan a
conservation program. A land
use map was drawn for his farm
which called for shifting his
row crops from the slopes of
his bowl-like farm to level are-
ass. and for seeding his slopes
to alfalfa. Also the map called
for building additional terraces,
repairing the exi sting ones, and
•iftablh'hl'ig contour cultivat¬
ion on the Slopes-
This new pattern of farming
which resulted in a gradual
which has averaged $4,000 du-
shift from cotton to a ration of
corn, hay, and small grain for
his expanded l.vestbck and
poultry program, doubled hi;
income the firat year.
By last year, Mr. Owens, who
could pay only $39 as an instal¬
lment on his farm in 1939,
paid the Goverment $1,655 as
the final payment on 'his place,
exactly 31 years ah?ad of his
40 year repayment schedule.
A breakdown of h s income
ring the last three years, shows
that he grosses over $900 off
hogs, nearly $800 off eggs
and chickens, about $700 off
certified alfalfa seeds, over
$600 off milk, $700 off beef cat¬
tle and close to $700 off fruits
and vegeatbbles.
District Extension Agent Paul
O. Brooks says that Mr. Owens
has one of the best balanced
farming programs in the States
His farm and home have be-
come a kind of show-place for
