Arnold Johnson, the Chicago mil- lionaire who acquired the Athletics from Philadelphia last. week, in- dieated he would name his field Matiager today at a press con- ce. ‘ Boudreau’s name has popped up most frequently in speculation on the field post, although Johnson said he had received a flock of applications. - Only last week Boudreau said he had been in contact with the Chicago industrialist but ‘nothing is definite yet.” Others mentioned as possibilities included Eddie Joost, who man- aged the Athletics int their last stand at Philadelphia; Bobby Bra- gan, pilot of the Pacific Coast League’s Hollywood club; and Lefty O’Doul, also a veteran Coast * League manager, O’Doul, however, eliminated himself recently by signing to man- age the Coast League’s Oakland team.

Injuries Hit Miami Sta By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS _ Rain cut short or canceled prac- tice sessions of many Southeastern Conference teams, but Coach’ Red Drew sent Alabama through a muddy scrimmage last night. With practice time running short before the Crimson Tide meets the once-beaten Miami Hurricanes in the Florida city Friday night, Drew called for the under-lights session.

Left behind because of injuries will be tackle Ed Culpepper, full- back Jerry Chiapparelli and end Paul Donaldson. Both Kentucky and Tennessee, who meet Saturday, gct in normal practice sessions. The Wildcats got a lengthy look at Tennessee’s sin- glewing plays and then polished up their own attack in signal drills. Fullback Dick Rushing and Joe Koch, guard and co-captain of the’ Wildcats, were suited out and may see, action. For Tennessee, tailbacks Jimmy Wade, Bobby Brengle and John Majors and fullback Tom Tracy are expected to be recovered enough from injuries to play against Kentucky. ae Gus Tinsley ran his Lou- isiana State squad through a spir- ited practice drill including a de- fensive scrimmage against Arkan- sas plays. He announced that tackle Jim Lavin would not play against the Southwest Conference team and is lost for the season: because of a broken hand. Auburn, which plays Clemson Saturday, was unable to get in a scheduled offensive scrimmage be- cause of the rain.

Subseribe To The Citizen Nat'l Passing Title May Be Decided Sat. NEW YORK (#—No doubt about it. The three best passers in col- lege’ footballe this year are Ore- gon’s George Shaw, California’s Paul Larson and Purdue’s Lennie Dawson. All three wrap up their seasons this Saturday and each | spparentiy, has a national, title cinched. Accotding to NCAA statistics re- leased Wednesday Shaw still ranks No. 1 in total offense, with Larson making a strong bid to overtake the leader and win the crown two years running. The California ace, meanwhile, has a new national pass completion record almost in hand. ‘ Dawson, the youngster who up- set Notre Dame, holds the lead in pass yardage. Shaw, leading all season, has a total yardage net of 1,415 yards as he winds up against Oregon State. Larson takes a 1,375-yard total against Stanford. Dawson, with 1,309, opposes Indiana. Larson could become the second collegian to, win the total-yardage crown in successive years—Okla- homa A & M’s Bob Fenimore did it in. 1944-45 and Drake's Johnny Bright pulled it off in 1948-50—but at worst he’ll be tops in comple- tions. Thus far he’s hitting at 64.2 per cent;~completing 111 of 173 tosses. Washington’s Don Henrich set the present accuracy record of 60.9 per cent in 1950. Shaw is second in completions with 86 and Dawson third with 81. Lawson’s leading air yardage is 1,400, with Larson second on 1,387. The Purdue ace also has the most touchdown passes with 14, In rushing, the top three’ ball carriers also rank as the leading scorers, and in the same order— Arizona’s Art Luppino, Penn State’s Lenny Moore and Army’s Tommy Bell. Luppino, a sophomore, looks like the champ in both departments with two games~ remaining while his closest competitors have but one: He has scored 138 points (only 20 short of the highest total in 34 years) and has rushed to 1,025 yards. Moore, a junior, has scored 78 points and netted 1,014) yards and Bell, in his final year, has scored 72 points and gained 914 yards. Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (® — Having noted that one of our principal tennis heroes, Tony Trabert, had just taken a shellacking from a minor Australian player named Don Candy out in Sydney, we ran down that doyen of American tennis teachers, Mercer Beasley, and asked him what in the world he thought the game was coming to. Beasley, who has devoted his past 32 years to showing our youth the proper end of a racquet to grip, frankly was gloomy.

Miami has come close to scoring shutouts in each of its last three games. Maryland was pinned back into its own territory and appar- ently frustrated until well into the fourth quarter when a roughing he kicker penalty after a bad fourth down kick gave the Terps a new life — and the chance to drive for their one score. Fordham didn’t have a chance against Miami — until a mis-direct- ed latera! was intercepted for a scoring run, Even Auburn was outgained and shut out until well into thé fourth quarter against Miami, Then, fol- lowing the TD Miami almost had but ‘lost, the Tigers regained their poise and poured through the Mi- ami line for drives of 69, 27 — and as the game was ending, another 20 yards to win~ both the ball game and the battle of the statis- tics. ‘However, Miami,coaches aren’t ee: 43 33 07 |as much concerned over keeping “Bama’s’ scoreless streak intact as they are in penetrating a defense which is a lot rougher than it look- ed against Georgia’Tech. ‘Bama has five shutouts to its credit and though Tech’s performance last week may have dropped the Tide from first place in total defense and passing defense, Coach Red Drew’s club has the size and the savvy to make things very tough for any ball club.

John B. Old, writing in the Los Angeles Herald-Express, said the tentative plans to switch the Dod- gers were “hush, hush,” and that they would be aired at @ special meeting here Nov. 22. Old’s story brought denials from National President Warren Giles and Brooklyn Vice President Fresco Thompson. Also, perhaps coincidentally, the Brooklyn Junior Chamber of Com- merce announcetl the organization of a drive to “keep the Dodgers in Old warned his ‘readers to “look for and expect vigorous denials” concerning the proposed switch. “walter. O'Malley, Brooklyn president, has long eyed Los An- geles as a possible future home for the Dodgers,” he wrote. “. ..the special meeting, quietly arranged without previous publicity, called to offset the urging of Cleve- land’s Kank Greenberg that, the American League expahd to 10 clubs at the earliest possible op- portunity.” Old also said Cincinnati might join the move and shift to San Francisco. Owner Powell Crosley has been “quietly liquidating his vast interest,” he said. “It never has been suggested. to me that the “Brooklyn club be moved to Los Angeles,” said Giles when told of Old’s story. “How could we have one clup out there and the other seven way back here?” Giles admitted there was a meeing scheduled for Nov. 22, but said it was to consider a revision of the constitution and bylaws. Brooklyn President Walter O’Malley was en route home from Puerto Rico and could not be reached, but Thompson said: “We don’t know anything about it.” e e before you open a bottle or can of Budweiser you know that was | .. know Carter Remains 2-1 Favorite ‘To ‘Regain Lightweight Toga He'll Set A Record If He Does Triumph N By BOB MYERS SAN FRANCISCO, w—Mechani- cal Jimmy Carter steps into the ring tonight favored to regain the world lightweight championship from Brooklyn’s Paddy DeMarco, the young man who relieved him of the title 10 months ago. The setting for the 15-gound en- counter between the top two 135: pounders in the nation is the spa- cious Cow Palance in South San Francisco. . The contest, a replay of an up- set registered by the 26-year-old Paddy in New York last March 5, will be televised coast to coast by CBS. It is scheduled for 10 p.m, EST. Carter, a veteran of 30 years, remained a 2-1 betting favorite to- day to whip his more unorthodox fellow New Yorker. The workman- like fighter from Harlem already has the peculiar distinction of hav- ing lest and then regained the same itweight title. He will be the first in ring his- tory in the division to repeat such a stunt if he wins tonight. Cartér first captured the crown in May 1951, when he knocked out Ike Williams in Madison Square Garden. A year later, in a tremendous surprise, he lost the title to Lauro Salas in Los Angeles, via a deci- sion, .He won it back six months later in Chicago. He successfully defended it against Tommy Collins, George Araujo and Armand Savoie. Then came DeMarco, with an awkward, windmill, crowding style, and once again Carter was with- out title.
