Ray Prosperi Main Key
To Bulldogs Grid Hopes
Raymond Anthony Prosperi jr., whose degree of sue
cess in replacing Ali-America John Rauch at T-quarter
back is the m*’nvkey to Georgia’s football fortunes this fall,
is a light brown haired Italian who captained three major
at_pletic_tea‘m__gt Altoona, Pa,, high.
He made rall-Western Pennsyl
vania quarterback in 1946, but
basketball was his strong point.
He was all-state in 1947, averaging
18 peints per gaihe. He only play
ed freshman basketball here in
1048, averaging 28 npoints per
game.. Bulldog basketball Coach
Sug Jordan says Ray easily could
make Georgia's first team, and
Ray is considering seeking a court
berth this coming season. Ray
played first base in high school,
but has pitched the last two sum
mers for a semiepro team in Al
toena, winning 16 and losing two.
Ball-Carrier
He was a ball-carrier his soph
more and junior seasons in high
school, playing tailback on a single
wing system. But a ruptured
musele in his right leg, which he
received kicking off in 1945, caus
ed a temporary halt to his ball
carrying role and he was moved
to quarterback. Although he had
a leg operation the next year he
continued to play quarterback.
Johnny Rauch’s presence here
kept Prosperi on the bench most
of his freshman and sophomore
Yyears at Georgia. He only threw
four passes in 1947, completing
two for 18 yards. In 1948 he com
pleted nine of 12 tosses for 110
yards and two touchdowns. The

Hack’ Honored
MARTINSBURG, W. Va., Sept.
28 — (AP) — Hack Wilson’s old
baseball friends met in a corner
of a graveyard here yesterday and
unveiled a small stone monument
over the big guy'’s grave.
The tapered granite block, 10
feet high and about 30 inches
square at the base, bore an etch
ing of crossed bats and a baseball,
with this simple inscription:
“One of baseball’'s immortals,
Lewis R. (Hack) Wilson, rests
‘here.”
Joe McCarthy took time off from
the bitter American League pen
nant race to unveil the stone. Joe
managed the Cubs when Hack was
the star of the Chicago National
League team—and spending the
big money like water.,
Hack died Nov. 23 in Baltimore,
with hardly a penny. He had
worked as a park laborer, then
was appointed a guard at one of
the city's municipal swimming
pools. Friends rounded up money
for a funeral and burial at Mar
tinsburg, which he considered
home because he first broke into
baseball here,
His record of 56 homers in 1930
still stands as a National League
record, and his 190 runs batted in
the same year remains tops in
both leagues.
NO CHANGE IN AMERICAN
G AB S W'n
By RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
The St. Louis Cardinals’ violation of the unwritten base
ball rule “tet sleeping dogs lie”’” may cost them the Nation
al League Pennant.
Pittsburgh’s Pirates, a docile sixth place club when
Ralph Kiner isn’t on the prowl, act like a pack of roaring
lons when they clash with the swifties from St, Louis—
Chiefly because of an eariy-season feud.
Pittsburgh chopped the Cards’
advantage over Brooklyn to one
game last night, scoring a 6-4 tri
umph over their despised rivals
before 27,283 fans under the lights
pélForbes field. The Dodgers were
idle.
While the Pirates jclted the
Cards, the Boston Red Sox downed
their “cousins” the Washington
Senators, 6-4, to protect their one
game American League lead over
the New York Yankees. The Yanks
defeated the Philadelphia Athlet
ics, 3-1 in the afternoon.
The Pirates’ long war with the
Cards began early In the season
when Ken Johnson, wild young
Cardinzl lefthander, neaned short
stap Stan Rojek.s The Pirate
charged the Card catcher Joe Ga
ragiola had deliberately called for
the bean ball. Garagiola and Card
Manager Eddie Dyer denied the ac~
cusation but the Pirates were firm
in their conviction.
The vendetta flamed anew in
the Pirates’ last visit to St. Louis.
Enos Slaughter of the Cards spik
ed Pirate second baseman Danny
Murtaugh and the Pirates vowed
to take care of the Red Nirds when
they came to i ittsburgh.
This they did in no uncertain
manner. The Pirates belted Red
Munger, righthanded ace of the
Cards, for five runs in the second
inning to clinch the game last
night.
Rookie outfielder Tom Saffell
dropped Munger through the trap
door with a grand slam home run
to climax the rally. The runs will
not blemish Manger’s earned run
average as an error by Red
Schoendienst made all of the runs
unearned. The Pirates row have
TROJAN DRILLS:
Jimmy Williams
Out For Season
By CURTIS DRISKELL
-Athens High School’s football fortunes took a rude jolt
yesterday afternoon when the first major injury of the
young season forced promising half back Jimmy Williams
out for the remainder of the season.
Williams, whom Head Coach
Earl Wheby called ‘“the best
sophomore prospect I have seen,”
suffered a broken collarbone dur
ing a session of contact work be
fore & Trojan scrimmage, and X
rays showed that the young back
fielder will be out for at least five
or six weeks, and most likely for
the rest of the football season.
Coach Wheby termed the loss of
Williams as a costly one, pointing
out that Williams was not only
one of tHe main offensive threats
for the Trojans, but also had pro
ven himself invaluable on defense
where he made more than a few
hard tackles from his side-back
slot.
Team Player
Williams, always a team player,
operated from right nalf in the
Trojan modified “T”. Coaches
termed Williams one of the most
cooperative players of the varsity
squad, and commended him for
his natural football ability and his
eagerness to play this year.
Wheby pointed out Dickie Car
teaux, another hard-running back,
as Williams' replacement. Car
teaux has shown plenty of ability
thus far, and Wheby expressed his
confidence that “Dickie will come
through for us.”
Carteaux, like Williams, is play=-
ing his second year of ball for the
Trojans. Running from any of
three positions in the Athens
backfield on necessity, Carteaux
has been a valuable reserve back
field man, and turned in a good
share of playing time in each of
the two Trojan opening games.
Improvement Shown
Yesterday's drills showed a
marked improvement in general
work by the Trojans, but still left
something to be desired in the
line of unified offensive efforts.
A Dbrief scrimmage disclosed
some nice running by new full
back Jerry Price, Captain Monk
Collins, and Dickie Carteau». Red
beaten the Cards 11 times in 21
games.
Joe Dobson, with help from
Walt Masterson, pitched the ram
paging Red Sox to victory over
Washington’s woeful Senators. The
victory was Boston’s 11ih straight
and its 14th consecutive win over
‘Washington.
The Sox socked Paul Clavert for
six runs in the first six innings
while-Dobson limited the Senators
to one hit over the same span. Bos
ton drove Calvert out with a four
run blast in the sixth, which Dob
son capped with a run-producing
single.
Washington loaded the bases
against Dobson in the seventh with
none out but managed to score
only once. The Senatocs sent Curly
Joe to the showers in the follow
ing inning, scoring three runs be
fore Masterson rushed in, threw a
double play ball to Roberto Ortiz,
and got Eddie Robinson to fly out.
-Vic Raschi hung up his 20th vic
tory in pitching the Yanks to vic
tory over Philadelphia.
The Yanks jumped on Dick
Fowler for all of their runs in the
third inning. Fowler forced the
first one home by walking Tommy
Henrich with the bases loaded.
Yogi Berra followed with a two=~
run single to chase Fowier in favor
of Bobby Shantz.
in the only other games yester
day, the Cleveland Indians shaded
the Chicago White Sox, 3-2 on Joe
Gordon’s ninth inning single. The
Cincinnah;?eds edged the Chica
go Cubs 5-4, scoring twoe runs in
the ninth. Virgil Stalleup’s fourth
hit scored Danny Titwhiler with
the payoff run.

ATHENS, GECRGIA
For P.A.IL
Specialist
By The Associated Press
Southern Conference
Coaches found problems
and deficiences aplenty to
days as they made ready for
the weekend frays.
At Georgia Tech the ur
gent need was for an extra
point kicker. The Yellow
Jackets missed poul the vile
point tries in their 12-7 vic
tory over Vanderbilt and
Coach Bobby Dodd said he
couldn’t take that chance
against Tulane’s Greenies
Saturday. Sophmore Peden
Templeton, up to now a se
cond stringer, was his best
prospect.
Dodd wasn’t at all optimistic
over Saturday’s game. He said
nie could only hape for a “wet,
rainy afternoon’” so the Greenies
couldn’t do too much with the ball.
Tulane Coach Henry Frnka ap
peared just as fearful of the En
gineers. He called them tricky and
said, “just give them one break,
and they’ll ruin you.”
Frnka, in retrospect, found his
team’s timing bad in its Alabama
victory. He complained also about
backfield mistakes. But he laid
out pieénty of rough work to iron
out the deficiencies.
An undetermined leg or heel in
jury to ace back Breezy Floyd
Reid plagued Coach Wally Butts
at Georgia. He had to wait for a
new examination to find out
whether Reid will be able to start
against North Carolina.
But reports from Chapel Hill
should have been re-assuring to
the Georgia coach. They said the
Tar Heels were unable to cope
vesterday with even a freshman
line-up running the Georgia T
formation offensive.
- Tennessee’s Bob Neyland also
had a North Carolina worry —
Duke. He booked an all-out
;:crimmage today to try for a po
‘tent combination against the Blue
Devils’ vaunted attack.
: Wear Guards
Smarting from the Tech defeat,
Vanderbiit Coach Bill Edwards
rolled up his sleeves and got down
to heavy work with his Commo-~
dores in preparation for Alabama.
He said both end Bucky Curtis and
back Jim McGown, hurt in the
Tech game, will be ready to go
against the Crimson Wave, though’
they may have to wear face
guards.
Alabama’s Red Drew was not
too much impressed with the
Tide’s workout yesterday against
Commodore plays. The red jer
seys couldn’t seem to get going
either aground or in the air. An
other tough workout was sche
duled to iron out the flaws.
Kentucky, which has been go
ing like a house afire so far, will
jump the Mississippi Rebels at
'Oxford. Coach Paul Bryant wasn't
exactly pleased with yesterday’s
practice—but leave it to him to
do something about it before Sat
urday’s kick-off.
Coach Slick Morton told his
Mississippi State Maroons they
will have to iron out their block
ing before their Saturday outing
against Baylor. He also empha
sized pass defense in a long work
out yesterday against Baylor plays.
Louisiana State Coach Gaynell
Tinsley locked the gates and sent
his squad through an offensive
drill against Rice’s style of play.
The Tigers have a 19-0 Kentucky
triumph to live down in Saturday’s
match.
Florida’s Gators failed to show
much improvement yesterday as
they readied “for the offensive
minded Tulsa outfit. Their 13-0
decision over Citadel last week
end wasn’t too impressive and the
[c'oadching staff obviously was wor
‘ried.
Auburn has until October 8 to
get ready for its next game—with
‘the Florida Gators at Mobile. So
the Plainsmen rested yesterday
and started back to work today.

VICTIM OF SCRIMMAGE
Georgia's Chances Against
Carolina Dimmer; Reid Hurt
By 808 OLIVER
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
In every life a little rain must fall. But to Coach Wal
lace Butts it must seem like a long wet spell as his best
halfback was injured yseterday in a scrimmage and may
not not be ready for North Carolina,
Floyd (Breezy) Reid, the 180-
pound senior pile-driver from
Hamilton. Ohio. was struck down
by an ankle injury after running
but three plays as the Bulldogs
went through a rough drill in pre
paration for the big game with
Carolina in Chapel Hi'l Saturday.
Reid, whe is the hardest run
ning back on the Georgia squad,
found it difficult to even walk
after the mishap and was rushed
to the training room as Team Doc
tor Marion Hubert and Trainer
Sam Richwine worked on the star
back. However, neither Hubert or
Richwine made a statement on the
seriousness of the injury, and this
morning the status was unknown.
This much was released, though:
chances are 50-50 that Reid will
be ready for Carolina; only time
will tell the extent of the injury.
Reid will take it easy the remain
der of the week.
Sophomore Dick Rsber will
move up to Reid’s post at right
half, unless Coach Butts shifts a
more experienced member. from
some other backfield pcsition. Ra
ber has looked good in practice so
far this season and is an excep
tional hard runnner. However, he
doesn’t have the experience to car
ry the full load against a power
team like the Tarheels.
Today Butts willi handle his
charges with care; he can’t afford
any more key players being side
lined. Signal drills in full pads will
be on the menu, with special at
tention being given to passing and
kicking.
The squad will leave the Sea-
TECH’S POPE 2ND
Lineman Of
Week Tackle
At Harvard
NEW YORK, Sept. 28—(AP)—
Harvard took a drubbing from
Stanford on the Pacific Coast last
Saturday, but nevertheless came
up with the football lineman of the
week in 23-year-oldé Howard
Houston.
In the first Associated Press poll
of the grid season the 200-pound
senior tackle from Haverhill,
Mass. today was named the. top
lineman of 38 nominations.
Houston, who served three years
in the Army Air Corps from 1943
to 1946 and who was one of the
East’s top heavyweight collegiate
wrestlers last year, earned this
unusual tribute from Marchie
Schwartz, Stanford coach.
“I intend to write Houston a
personal letter congratulating him
on his fine play. He made 90
per cent of the tackles on defense
and was hard to block out. He is
one of the best I have seen in
years.”
Runnerup in the voting from all
parts of the country was Ewell
Pope, Georgia Tech’s little 168-
pound guard. Pope suffered a bro
ken jaw in the second quarter, but
played the entire game and help
ed the Engineers to an upset vic
tory over Vanderbiit.
X-rays after the game showed
his jaw broken at the point of
his chin and also that three teeth
were knocked out.
Ed Bagdon, Michigan State tac
kle, was third in the ballotting.
His play was one of the main
reasons MSC held Michigan to a
7-3 triumph.
Others who received high praise
were Don Hock, Colorado A & M
tackle; Wade Walker, Oklahoma
tackle; Dan Foldberg, Army end;
Bob Wilkinson, UCLA end; Leo
Nomellini, Minnesota tackle; Lou
Creekmur, William and Mary
tackle; and Harold Kilman, Texas
Christian tackle.
Besides, Pope, another Tech
guard figured in the nominations
—Buck Doyal. ~ ]
This week’s nominations also in- |
cluded Ronald Dale of Mississippi|
and Tommy Coleman of Georgia'
Tech, tackles; and Vince Kaseta of |
Tennessee, end. |

NEW YORK, Sept. 28—(AP)—
A glum-looking Casey Stengel had
just received word tnat he and
Ralph Houk and Cliff Mapes had
been fined for Monday’s rhubarb
at the stadium — a grieve-ous er
ror somebedy called it ... “I
didn’t see the play at all,” Casey
confided hoarsely. “I was back in
the runway when sopiebody told
me there was something going on
out there. . . . Then they fine me
for coming out to see what had
happened. . . . It was the _first
time I was fined this season — and
we've only had one mdn put out
of a game. What do they expect me
to do?”. . . . A photographer ask
ed the Yankee managem and the
two players to pose stndying pict
ures of the disputed play and
Casey assented grudgingly. . . “It
won’t get that run bacx,” he main
tained. “And I wouldn’t settle for
another run from the same club.
It would take a lot to make up
for that one.” . .. Tomms Henrich
came along for a look at the pho
tos and insisted Houk had blocked
the plate against Johnny Pesky's
slide. . +. “There’s only one player
who could have slid under that
glove,” Tommy argued, “and he's
a Yaunkee—rmole.”

Will Harridge’s demand for a
public apology, a lot of guys at
the stadium thought he wasted
words. “He shouv’ have copied
Yogi Berra,” one scribe insisted,”
“and wired Grieve: ‘l'm sorry you
made this apology necessary’.”
UMPS GET THEIR LUTMPS
Stengel, in a rer-iniscent mood,
went on: “A lot depends on what
you say out there. One day I went
out to talk to Red Jones about his
calls. He juc: patted me on the
back and said: ‘You get back to
the bench and don't come out
again. . . . A little later Al Sim
mons charged out and Jones chas
ed him right back. . . So those
guys thought Jones was my pal
because they didn’'t hear what he
scid. . . . “That isu't anything,”
'broke in a visiting reporter. . . .
“Frank Dascoli, the great tall fel

when Charley Grimm rushed out.
Before he could say a word,
Grimm began: Take it easy; don’t
get so excited. . . . why not? Das
coli asked.

Season Nears
End; Pennant
Races Sizzle
NEW YORK, Sept. 28—(AP)—
The American and National
League baseball pennant races
continue to sizzle with the season
due to end on Sunday.
The Boston Red Sox maintained
a one-game lead over the New
York Yankees in the American
League by beating Washington, 6
to 4, last night after the Yanks
had defeated the Philadelphia A’s
3 to 1, in the afternoon.
Pittsburgh gave new hope to the
idle Brooklyn Dodgers in the Na
tional League by tripping the St.
Louis Cardinals, 8 to 4, last night.
The defeat cut the Card’s lead to
one game.
