Yank Boss Says Foes Laying for Champions
New York—(U.P.)—Casey Stengel was grooming today that "every-body is laying for the Yankees and we're gonna have to hustle all the way if we expect to make it five straight pennants."
The Yankees beat the prize first class guy in the league yesterday when they topped Bobby Shantz, the 1952 most valuable player, but Stengel and the rest of the world champs weren't happy over their five-hit, 4 to 1 triumph over the Athletics.
"The little man deserved to win," he said. "We sure didn't. They just handed us the ball game with bad fielding. When we gonna start hitting? That's what I want to know."
Leading 1 to 0 after Allie Clark doubled home a run in the fifth, little Bobby struck out Mickey Mantle and Hank Bauer to start the Yankee fifth. Johnny Mize then socked a single that went through Eddie Robinson's legs at first. It definitely should have been fielded. Then Gene Woodling加了 a fly to left and a much confused Gus Zernal first ran in, then ran back, and finally let it fall 20-feet behind him for a misjudged gift double that scored Mize.
Two more runs came in the seventh when Dave Philley tried for a shoe string catch on a drive by Woodling. It eluded him for another double that scored Mantle, who had singled.
Things were brighter for the National League champion Dodgers who made it two in a row over the Pirates in Brooklyn, scoring a 4 to 2 victory behind their new "ace." Russ Meyer. Peewee Reese hit a base-loaded two-run single in the eighth off knuckleballer John Lindell, trying to make a big league comeback as a pitcher at 35. Lindell didn't do too badly, giving up eight hits, although walking 10. He fared better at bat blasting Meyer for a two-run homer. Carl Furillo, who got three hits, drilled a Dodger homer.
The ex-soldier southpaw of the Philies, Curt Simmons, subdued the Giants on five hits, striking out five for an easy 8 to 1 victory in Philadelphia. Bobby Thomson's second homer in as many days cost him a shutout. Del Ennis hit a two-run homer and a single, Stan Lopata hit two doubles and Simmons himself connected for a double and two singles in the 14-hit mauling of three pitchers.
St. Louis at Milwaukee and Cinchini at Chicago were postponed

When it's Springtime on the Campus maybe Auntie will start Springing too
A certain Senior, who shall be Nameless, was all
tangled up in an Unfortunate Situation. The Big Spring Weekend was just three days away; his Number One Girl was lined up on the blueprint, and he was bound to be Busted, he was, to put it bluntly. Busted. Furthermore, his Credit Rating was Strictly Low Music.
Nameless, however, being a man of Considerable Ingenuity, even though Involvent, was nothing daunted. His strategy was simple: a quick reconnoiter in his book of Family Statistics, two minutes of inspired composition, and a fast call to Western Union.
The Big Weekend went like a Breeze. Our Boy cut a Super-Swash—and paid for it. Cold Cash. Sunday night he escorted his Dream Girl down to the 10:12, then headed for his apartment. The cash payment enough to throw a Heartfelt Kiss toward the windows of the local Western Union office, and to gaze fondly once again at a crumpled telegram. I bore this wallet-warming message: "Thank you for your Telegram and for your sweet thought. Even an old lady is thankful for her birthday. Hope the money order will prove useful." Sign Aunt Jane."
As we said, a man of Considerable Ingenuity.
One of the Nicest Things about a Telegram is that it does More than you Expect of it. Whether you are Prying Open the Parental Control on your computer for a Job, anytime you want "Yes" for an answer, ask the question via Western Union.

Sikes Calls Off Football Practice
Spring football drills were called off yesterday by Coach J. V. Sikes in respect to John Spencer, freshman player who died in his sleep early yesterday morning. Practices will go on as scheduled this afternoon.
His injury, described by Sikes today as "just a twisted knee," is not expected to keep the 5-10, 172-pounder out of practice today. Sandifer is considered to be the top choice for the quarterback spot.
In Tuesday's practice session, the second this spring, Sikes held a short scrimmage, concentrating entirely on ground work. Dick Sandifer, sophomore quarterback candidate, injured group of an old knee injury on one play.
No workouts are on tap for tomorrow, Saturday, or Monday due to the Kansas Relays and the ROTC inspection.
Nine More Express Approval of Proposal That Fieldhouse Be Named for 'Phog' Allen
By STAN HAMILTON Kansan Sports Writer
Nine more men have expressed their approval of the proposal that KU's fieldhouse be named in honor of Coach "Phog" Allen. Construction is to be resumed early next fall.
"The words Allen, basketball, and fieldhouse are synonymous," said Ralph Miller, Wichita university coach and captain of Phog's 1942 co-champion team. "How can there be any other answer?"
Missouri basketball coach Wilbur "Sparky" Stalcup at the recent Jayhawk basketball banquet referred to himself as the self-appointed mouthpiece of the Big Seven coaches, and said he "would deem it a real privilege to help dedicate the F. C. Allen fieldhouse."
A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, director of athletics and an all-Big Six player on Allen's 1920 team, explained that the matter is in the hands of the board of regents, but said, "I am in full agreement with the idea."
Assistant basketball coach Dick Harp commented, "I think it would be a highly appropriate gesture. Governor Woodring's opinion reflects the sentiments of a great many throughout Kansas. I think it should, and I hope it can be done."
Kansas track coach M. E. "Bill" Easton expressed strong approval of the suggestion.
"It would be one of the finest

Asked if he thought the entire athletic department favored the idea, Don Pierce, sports publicity director, said, "I personally am for it and I think the rest of the department seems to be also—all except Phog, that is."
Allen himself expressed some surprise when asked as to his opinion of the matter. "Id be the last fellow to make any comment," he said. "The whole idea is an utter surprise to me."
the fieldhouse will bear Dr. Allen's name.
Another man contacted was Warren Womble, coach of the Peoria Caterpillar Diesels and fellow coach with Allen of last year's U.S. Olympic basketball squad.
Womble said, "Dr. Allen is certainly deserving of such an achievement and I am sure it is one of his lifelong ambitions."
