Three untimely fumbles cost WSC a chance to win or tie. Pvt. Don Heinrich, Waslington’s at passer who goes back to the y Bats today after a weekend leave, completed seven throws for a total of 137 and won the national passing title for the second time. Ed Barker, WSC’s fine end, Caught 10 passes from less talented Cougar pitchers to establish a new national three-year record of 108, two more than the old mark held by Bill McColl of Stanford in 1949-50-51. Heinrich threw 16 passes-WSC tried 34--and gained only 145 yards. This lost him the total offense title to Ted Marchibroda of De- troit who ended the season with 1,813 yards and passing. Heinrich and Barker had been given top pre-game billing but most of the 30,000 fans went away talk- ing about a young stand-in who almost stole’ the show. Sophomore Chuck Beckel of WSC, pressed into service when the other two fullbacks were kicked off the teamp, was the whole ground game for the Cougars, carrying 30 times for 176 yards. Beckel was called, “‘terrific, just terrific,. that’s all,” by Cougar Coach Al Kircher. And he won as much praise from press box critics as givén all year to his predeces- sors, Dick Bower and Jim Head who were fired in midseason for disciplinary reasons.

When Durocher May Quit Baseball Rumors Say By JOE REICHLER PHOENIX, Ariz. & — Ever be- fore the first draft choice had been made at the opening of the annual winter meetings today, two of baseball’s stormiest figures— Jackie Robinson and Leo Durocher —leaped into the headlines. Basebali folks were still busy checking in at the various hotels here when word came from New York that Robinson, brilliant Ne- gro second baseman of the Brook- lyn Dodgers, had accused the New York Yankees of being prejudiced against members of his race. The incumbent world champions promptly issued a heated denial of the discrimination charges. There is no Negro player on the Yankees although there are sever- al in their farm organization. Durocher, reportedly contempla- li ting quitting the game for a whirl at the movies, squashed the ru- mors with a statement that he in- tended to continue as manager of the New York Giants as long as Horace Storeham remained the owner of the club. Leo has a one- year contract to manage the Giants at a reported $50,000 sal- ary. While the major league folk were digesting the Robinson-Du- rocher morsels, the minors were setting the siage for their 5ist convention that will last through Thursday and cover such contre- versial subjects as radio and tele- vision, the bonus laws, the waiver rule, the high school rule, player recall rule, realignment of the leagues and clubs and night base- ball.
