NEW YORK (®—A national foot- ball picking service, one which has gained considerable standing in re- cent seasons for its ability to fore- tell the results of college games at close to an .800 clip, sat itself down and attempted to advise its clients on how 45 of last Satur- day’s most important _ contests would come out. z The ‘results were not encourag- ing. Of the 45 games put under the glass, only 29 provided the winner chosen by the ‘‘old house.” Something went haywire in the other 16, and that isn’t an aver- age calculated to win new friends and keep old patrons. The national political polls sometimes come closer than that, and scarcely a week passes but a Bronx house- wife who never saw a football game hits 15 out of 15 right on the head in a local newspaper con- test. “It’s a rough season on the ex- perts. They still can forecast the professional results with a rather remarkable degree of accuracy, but the tollege game appears to ational Loop Fielders NEW YORK, W—Stan Musial, renowned for his hitting prowess rather than for his defensive skills, failed in quest of his seventh bat- ting crown in 1954, but wound up instead with the best field average among National League outfielders for the second time in his career. The St. Louis Cards’ ace finished with a .990 fielding mark, com- mitting but three errors in 287 chances. In 1949 Musial, who oc- casionally.has seen service at first base, led the outfielders defensive- ly with 991. Fielding figurés, compiled by the will | Associated Press disclosed that the lio ‘The Conchs will be faced with the problem of stopping Charley Diamond, the much led Cur- ley fullback. Passers Are Their Fire __NEW YORK, # od Sige ie developm: strange football season has been the unprecedented manner Dick James, the little. Oregon fullback, is the pass - catching snared 16 throws, ‘Dut it is the it figure a pace- setter has had in the past decade at this stage of the season, ac cording to statistics released ‘o- day by the National Collegiate Ath- letic Bureau. Fourteen others are within six catches of James and the general ‘volume of passes being completed "isn’t any smailer than usual. The main reason that James holds the ead is that his partner, George Shaw, is the nation’s leading pass- er. They'll both be on view Satur- day when they play Southern Cali- fornia in the NCAA’s television game of the week. Southern Cal, incidentally, has a pass-catching leader of its own. He is Linden Crow, who has caught only four, but has carried them a fantastic 213 yards for a 53,3 yards-per-catch average. Bill Sennett of Georgia Tech has gained 218 yards, but he has caught 11 passes. Runners-up to James in the total-catch depart- ment are Jim Hanifan of Califor- nia and Dick Rushing of Kentucky with 15 each. Ted Rhode of Kansas leads in punting average with a 45.2 mark; Art Luppino of Arizona heads the field in scoring and kickoff re- turns with 57 points and 356 yards, respectively, and Dick McNamara of Minnesota is the No. 1 man in punt returns, lugging six of them back 161 yards. Bob Iverson, a junior quarter- back from Washington State, is the top pass interceptor witefaur. n Cards in’the National League and the Chicago White Sox and Wash- ington Senators in the American Lea, captured individual laurels by placing two players each among the leaders. In order to be eligible, a player must have appeared in at least 100 games. Besides Musial, the other mem- ber of the Red Birds to top his position afield—was catcher Bil Sarni. The only rookie among the leaders, Sarni recorded a .996 .| mark behind the plate. The White Sox and the Senators dominated the American League infield stalwarts. Chicago’s Nelson Fox and Chico Carrasquel com- prised the keystone combination. Mickey Vernon and Eddie Yost were the Washington représenta- tives to distinguish themselves afield. Fox, in setting the pace at sec- ond base for the second time in his career, fielded .988, Carrasquel’ repeated his 1953 superiority at shortstop with a .974 mark. It is the third time he has led. Vernon, an o:d hand at gaining fielding honors, edged Joe Collins of the Yanks at first base .9924 to .9915, He has been tops at his posi- tion three times and has been tied for the lead once, Yost displayed his fielding supremacy among third basemen with a .970 average. Rounding out the American League defensive leaders were Cleveland catcher Jim Hegan, .994 wski, Milwaukee’s Johnny Logan and Willie Jones of the Phils—continued to top their positions. Kluszewski paced the first base- men with a .996 percentage. It marked the fourth straight year he had the highest average and tied a major league record for consecutive years leading in fie‘d- ing by a first baseman. Four other players share the record, the most recent being Charlie Grimm when he was with the Cubs in 1930-1933. For the third year in a row Logan excelled at shortstop, finish- ing at .969. Jones maintained his 1953 mastery at third base and also fielded .969. Davey Williams was the lone member of the world champion New York Giants to earn a de- fensive accolade. He topped the second basemen with a .982 per- centage and had one stretch of 45 gams in which he handled 261 4 without an error. ‘ have gotten plumb away from them with only a month gone. The mixed-up situation is espe- cially embarrassing to the better Roundup By Gayle Talbot national magazines which were forced to close their forms weeks ago. One article of recent vintage tells all about how J.C, Caroline, the new Red Grange (only better), is about to run rings around the foes of Illinois. Up to now, J.C. hasn’t run anywhere, and the Il- lini, last year’s cochampion of the Big Ten, has been bounced three straight. Another hits the stands this week with a splendid account of Maryland’s rise ‘to the gridiron heights, including the Terrapins’ selection as the nation’s No. 1 team in last season’s final Asso- ciated Press poll. One can imag- ine that Coach Jim Tatum will read it with furrowed brow after his team’s loss to UCLA and last week’s tie with Wake Forest.

The Mississippi. squad went through a ‘ong-scale scrim- mage before the homecoming con- test with Tulane. Coach John Vaught had the linemen engage in contact work in grouys while the backfield practiced passing and punting. Quarterback Eagle Day, Houston Patton and John Blalack made several outstanding tosses. Tulane ignored a heavy rain and serimmaged for more than an hour, Quarterback Fred Wilcox, half- backs Willie Hof and Otis Gilmore and fullback Bob Saia managed to break away for several good gains, Alabama’s Crimson Tide empha- sized defense in workouts against freshmen running Tennessee plays Ends Curtis. Lynch and Nick Ger- manos and guard Max Kelley stood out in defense drills. Bobby Luna and Cecil Ingram were tops among defense backs. The Tennessee Vols got a good look at Alabama plays and the defenses they’ll use to try to stop them. Jimmy Wade, star tailback, worked out in sweat clothes. “Jim- my’s a very doubtful starter against Alabama,” said Coach Harvey Robinson. Wade sprained a knee ligament in the Mississippi State game. Auto Sought In Plane Hit-Run ATLANTA @® — A police radio dispatcher sent out this call last night: “Late model sedan wanted for hit and run with an airplane.” Patrolman Mallory. Mann said half a dozen persons saw a Negro maneuver his automobile onto the field at Municipal Airport. Before anybody could stop him he put the car in reverse and backed into a Civil Air Patrol plane. Then he drove rapidly away. Mann said the tail assembly on the plane was damaged.

Kentucky went full-speed in a lengthy scrimmage preparing for the game with Florida, The var- sity polished its attack, drilled on pass defense, then worked. out against the freshmen. At Florida, Coach Bob Woodruff continued to try several combina- tions to offset losses by injuries. The Gators two. leading ground gainers, Mal Hammack: and Bob- by Lance, are out of the game with Kentucky. Hubert Martin, Tegular guard, also may miss the contest.

ADAMS, Clerk of the Circuit Court By: (sd) HERMAN CEREZO, incon Puts Off Naming A’s Manager By BEN PHLEGAR NEW YORK —Arnold Johnson is going to defer naming a general manager and field manager for his ye ae City Athletics until he ici: ains possessit Pcie Mg Possession of the The formal shift in ownershi from the Mack family to the Chi- cago financier is supposed to take Place sometime before 10:30 a.m, Monday. The deadline was set by American League owners Tues- day when they approved the move from Philadelphia to Kansas City. “I don’t know just what the pro- cedure will be,” Johnson admitted in an interview late last night in a suite atop a midtown Manhattan hotel which he owns, _ “I assume the Macks will get in touch with the league and that the league will get in touch with me so that I can give somebody the money,” he said. “I notice someone said they’d never seen anybody have so much trouble spending three million dollars. It’s been just as hard to spend the $375,000 that goes with it.” . Even today rumblings continued in Washington, where Calvin Grif- fith, vice president of the Senators, claimed the franchise shift was still not official. Discussing the Chicago meeting, Griffith said: “A vote was taken, but the Washington club and others do not made of specific provisos we en- tered and any announcement that we favored Kansas City is full of misunderstandings.” : Griffith said the Washington, Bos- ton and Detroit votes are enough to stop the move “‘and that may, still be done.” : In Chicago, League President Will Harridge had no comment on Griffith’s statement. Johnson flew. to New York from DIVORCE | his Chicago home last night with two. other executives of the Auto- matie Canteen Co. of America, of which he is vice chairman. In discussing the club, he said his first move is to get work started on doubledecking Blues Stadium in Kansas City. “Then I need a general manager and a field manager. In deference to the Macks I won’t do anything about these jobs until after Moa- day. I have not offered the field | manager’s job to anyone yet.” Speculation centered around Lef- ty O’Doul, who won the Pacific Coast League title with San Diego| the past season, and Lou Boudreau, just released as field boss of the Boston Red Sox. In the general manager line, Parke Carroll, who has run the Kansas City Blues in the American Assn, for the Yankees, and Ernie Mehl, the No. 1 campaigner for major league ball in Kansas City, is sports editor of the Kansas City Star.

Robinson has spent the last 28 months in show business. Asked what he had in mind, Rob- inson hedged: “The conference is in regard to a comeback that has been report- ed.
