Some quarters said the teams already have completed a five- player deal, but this was denied, The two clubs definitely have a trade in the making, though. The key player would be Brooklyn’s Junior Gilliam, the Negro infield- erl who may have lost favor with the front office. Both the Reds and Philadelphia are interested in him. The Phillies have offered catcher. Smokey Burgess and a young out- fielder, as- yet _ unidentified. The Reds have suggested a package deal involving Fred Baczewski, left-handed pitcher, for Gilliam and either veteran Russ Meyer or youngster Bobo Milliken, both right-handed pitchers. As late as last night, E. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi, Dodger vice- president, was deliberating the sellout crowd of around 13,000 and | offers a gate of $70,000.

Vol Athletic Heads Meet To Air Change KNOXVILLE, Tenn. # — The University of Tennessee Athletic | Council met here today to con-| sider changes in the football coach- ing staff, with indications that Head Coach Harvey Robinson would be replaced, Since the meeting was called last week, there have been increesing reports that Robinson and his as- sistants will not be rehired when their one-year contracts expire Dec. 31. In fact, Gen. Bob Neyland, UT athletic director, told the grid squad Saturday that Robinson “probably” would be replaced. Robinson’s team, composed chiefly of sophomores and plagued heavily by injuries, won only four games and lost six this fall for Tennes- see’s worst football season in 30 years, Whatever action taken by the council today is not expected to be made public immediately. If Robinson is dismissed, spec- ulation on a successor centers on (Kentucky, LaSalle ‘Are Hot This Year By ED CORRIGAN The Associated Press A couple of familiar faces — Kentucky and La Salle — stood out today as the college basket- ball season entered the first full week of action around the country, The Wildcats, in fact, have an opportunity to set a school record Saturday when they play Xavier of Ohio on the enemy court. They’ve already equalled their ail- time winning streak of .26 games, and if they ‘beat Xavier; Coach Adolph Rupp can point to another record. The reconstructed Wildcats have | played only one game, ‘but it was an impressive 74-58 victory over Louisiana State Saturday night. The big gun was Phil (Cookie) Grawemeyer, ‘a 6-7 veteran from last year’s unbeaten outfit. The Wildcat triumph, combined with Alabama’s 50-45 defeat by St.Louis, left many a wet eye in the Southeastern Conference. Ala- bama was figured as the one team with a chance to edge Kentucky out of the league title. The St.Louis game wasn’t a league encounter, but it proved Alabama a disap- pointment.

Critics Of Service Football Not Justified, Navy Man Says NOTRE DAME COACH HAPPY OVER SEASON SOUTH BEND, Ind. w — Coach Terry Brennan is proud of his Notre Dame football team and “very happy” over the outcome of the 1954 season. But the 26-year-old successor to Frank Leahy is already worried about the 1955 opener against Southern Methodist, the same team the Irish whipped Saturday 26-14. “Southern Methodist had a lot of fine looking juniors out there,” said Brennan after his team was greeted by some 2,000 fans Sunday night at the airport. “We'll lose 8 of our starting 11 men,” he continued, ‘and we'll have to field practically a new line. So it’s simple arithmetic that Southern Methodist will have the edge.” “But I’m happy, very happy,” said Brennan looking back at No- tre Dame’s 9-1 record. The lone loss was a 27-14 decision at the hands of Purdue.

Going with Courtney to Chicago were pitcher Bob Chakales and in- fielder Jim Brideweser in ex- change. for pitchers Don Johnson and Don Ferrarese, infielder Fred Marsh and catcher Matt Batts.

By last Saturday the team had improved 100 per cent since the Purdue loss,” he said. Brennan refused to comment on what he thought Notre Dame would do if it had played Purdue at the end of the season. “Let's say the day we played them they were the better team.” é Brennan admitted there was a lot of pressure on him after suc- ceeding Leahy. But the former No- tre Dame star can hold his own when it comes to matching first year records with his illustrious predecessors. The great Knute Rockne in 1918 finished with 3 victories, 1 loss and 2 ties. Elmer Layden had a 63 mark in 1934 and Leahy’s record in 1941 was 8 wins and 1 tie.
