BY LEON DRISKELL
An inspired and revitalized University Professors ball
b in the Municipal play last night walked away with the
‘irot tilt of the City Softball Tournament by defeating the
rrank Hardeman DeMolays with a 12-8 score on the Leg
i»n ball field. The second game of the night was not played
jue to an error in scheduling the tilt.
rhe Profs were paced to their
Jictory, which was termed an up
sot by most of the league fans, by
e controiled huriing of Coach
sump” Gabrielson who was suc
.sful in getting across a fast and
ccurate piteh. .
The DeMolay hurler was Rich
r4 Saye, manager-player for the
frank Hardeman nine.
The two teams were fairly even
|y matched in the fray in the
hitching and fielding departments
but the Prois seemed to be hitting
much better than the DeMolays.
rhe Profs were getting off hits
ihat were impossible to field.
Twe Homers
Bice for the Profs and Fowler
for the DeMolays were the only
Iwo roundtrip hitters of the night.
Both homers came early in the
inning and did not score other
runs. 5
DeMolay errors were prevalent
in the fray as they seemed to be
ynable to wake up te the fast and
accurate fielding that they have
dJemonstrated and which was ne
cessary for them to win the game.
The DeMolays made five of their
runs in a last two inning spurt to
regain the lost runs but were un
able to gain enough tallies to tilt
the scales in their favor. The Profs
had trailed behind for the first
three innings when they suddenly
came to life and began connecting
for the all-important hits that
paved the way for their win,
The City Tournament is being
played as a double elimination
play-off with all teams scheduled
to play in the course of the next
week and a half. Additional in
formation can be had on the tour

“Football Not T'o Blame” —~Wilkinson
BY CARL BELL S
‘LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 14.—(AP)—Big time col
lege football has its ills, says the coach of the nation’s No.
1 team of 1950, but it shouldn't be blamed for scholastie
scandals and failures.
Bud Wilkinson of the University
of Oklahoma, chief instruetor at a
coaching school here, had the floor
last night in an impromptu round
table on the criticism leveled at
the game since the uncovering of
the West Point cribbing scanda?.
“Actually,” said the Sooner grid
boss, “feothall takes less time
from classwork than any other col
lege sport. You practice or play a
couple of hours a day three
months in the fall—part of that
before school opens — and four
weeks in the spring.
“Colleges exist for education,
not for football. But football is im
portant, It is a point of commeon
interest among all the students.
It brings the student bedy closer
together and builds school pride
and leyalty.
“We need to integrate athleties
with the other departments of a
college so that it will better fit
into the overall program.”
Wilkinson alse suggested that

Inoso, Musia
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.— (AP) —Orestes Minoso of the
Chicago White Sox is still the hitter to beat in the Ameri
can League batting race.
Although the fleet Cuban negro slumped two points
last week to .342 with nine hits in 29 trips, he remained
eight points ahead of injured Ferris Fain of Philadelpha,
who had an unchanged .334.
Among Minoso’s active pursuers,
closest through Sunday’s play was
Detroit’s George Kell with .331.
Bobby Avila of Cleveland. moved
into the fourth spot with .327, one
point ahead of Boston’s Ted Wil
liams. Gil Coan of Washington,
four last week, continued his
slump-—dropping nine points to a
sixth-spot .322.
Other leaders were Gil Me-~
Dougald of New York, .310; Nellie
Fox, Chicago, .309; Dom DiMaggio,
Boston, .304; and Johnny Pesky,
Boston, .302.
Pace-setters in specialized de
partments remained unchanged,
These included: Minoso in runs,
90, and triples, 13; Gus Zernial,
Philadelphia, in homers, 24; Wil
liams in RBl's, 97; Dom DiMaggio
in hits, 144; Irv Noren, Washing
ton, in two-baggers, 31; and Jim
gousby, Chicago, in stolen bases,
Bobby Feller’s Cleveland record
of 18-4 through Sunday gave him
the pitching leadership with an
818 average, while New York’s
Vic Raschi led in strikeouts with
119.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14—(AP)—
Unless Stan Musial falls into a bad
slump, the St. Louis Cardinal slug
ger seems headed for his fifth Na
tional league batting title.
With seven weeks to play, Mu
sial held a 19-point lead on run
nerup Richie Ashburn of the Phils
according to averages including
Sunday’s games. Musial was hit
ting .368, Ashburn .349. A week
ago Ashburn was only 13 points
back. Jackie Robinson of Brook
lyn, another contender, was third
at .344.
Roy Campanella of Brooklyn
edged up on the leaders with a
sensational performance. Four of
his nine hits for the week were
home runs. Campanella’s average
soared to .334.
Johnny Wyrostek of Cincinnati
dropped off seven points to .321
for fifth place. Only newcomer in
the top 10 was Harry Lowrey of

college athletic confersnces may
put too much emphasis on the
financial benefits received by a
player in determining his eligibil

“More emphasis should be
placed on scholastie standing by
raising the grade average an ath

he explained, “And the average
sheuld be the same in all confer-,

Athletic Director John Barnhill
of the University of Arkansas,
among others at the coaching
school, doesn’t think the future of
college athletics need to be dark

“This may be the making of col

said. “After all, the Black Sox

to creation of the commissioner’s

SEC Coaches
Want College
Sports Clean
ATLANTA, Aug 14— (AP) —
Basketball coaches in the South
eastern Conference want to keep
the game as pure'as the driven
snow away down South in Dixie,
They to set up a code of
ethics mfi‘f:n in an effort to give
the cold shoulder to any seandal
ous malpractices.
Here is howl Coach Cliff Wells
of Tulane put it terday:
“ “We—the coacfi'-’hnve not, of
course, arrived at any specific so
lution which wilk keep SEC bas
ketball clean. lor a ‘fix’ can hap
pen anywhere, and I mean any
where. But we are going to the
annual meeting this fall with the
purpose of formulating a code of
ethics by which we hope to keep
conference basketball free from
the terrible scandals that have hit
and hurt other parts of the coun
oy
Wells came here to attend a
clinic conducted by the Georgia
Athletic Coaches Association,
Every which way you listened
there was talk about the recent
revelations of unethical practices
in basketball and football.
The proposed “keep the house
clean” code mentioned by ‘Wells
would revolve around statements
of policy on recruiting, academic
standards, and similar observa
tions.
“The scandals are horrible,”
said the Tulane mentor in dis
cussing the “fixed” basketball
games involving several promi
nent schools and the cribbing dis
closed at West Point.
“That’s the only way I can de
scribe my reaction! I think it's
the coaches’ fault, in a way. But
it's a vicious circle, too. Fans
want winners, coaches want toi
supply them, and this leads to
malpractices in athletics.”
One suggestion put forward by
Wells was to have each college
athlete “sign a statement saying
he would never do anything to
bring discredit on his institution,
that all his actions in and out of
an athletic uniform would be hon
est and above board.”
Wells spoke to more than 100
basketball coaches here for the
clinic.
In talking about the coming SEC
court season, he predicted that
Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Alabama
and Ole Miss would finish in that
order, and that the Southeast
would see a faster brand of play
than usual.
