Otto Schnellbacher Helps Coaching Staff
Otto Schnellbacher, former Kansas university and professional football star, filled in for ailing backfield coach Cliff Kimsey during the opening week of football practice.
Schnellbacher untilized a week's vacation from his Topeka insurance firm to join Coach J. V. Sikes' staff. He left the New York Giants pro-football team in August to devote his time to the insurance business.
He worked chiefly with the defensive backfield from Sept. 1 to Sept. 6. Twice during his professional career he was voted al-pro selection for his work in the defensive backfield.
Kimsey was hospitalized with an attack of jaundice in August. Although out of the hospital, he is not expected to resume his duties until Oct. 1.
Coach Sikes felt "fortunate" that Schnellbacher used his vacation to help the coaching staff.
The American league has a close fight going between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees. At this writing just one-half game separates these two teams and the winner probably won't be decided until the last week of the season or possibly the last day.
Major league baseball moves into its final two weeks with the World Series berths still unclaimed by any team.
Neither the Indians nor the Yankees have been able to play a consistent enough brand of baseball to pull away from the rest of the field. Each has stumbled along throughout the entire season letting second division clubs rob them of chances to gain ground when its rival was in a slump.
KU-TCU Game To Be Televised
THAT LONG LINE...
University carpenters are busily building two extra camera booths in Memorial stadium for the use of NBC's television crews which will be on hand to telecast the season's opener with T.C.U.
The booths will be built on the level of the press box roof on the north and south 20-yard lines on the west rim of the stadium.
Bv MAX THOMPSON
The telecasting of this opening game will mark the first in a series of 11 "Game of the Week" telecasts, and will be the first time KU gridmen have appeared on television.
The broadcast will also mark the second time within a year that a major Kansas sports event has been carried. WDAF-TV of Kansas City, Mo. carried the KU-Kansas State basketball match out of Hoch auditorium last March.
FAST AND POWERFUL—Frank Cindrigh, Kansas halfback, and track letterman, ranked fourth among Jayhawk ground gainers last year with 194 yards in 48 carries. He is a member of the strong reserve backfield, and will probably play behind Charley Hoag in the left halfback slot.
Writer Sees Indian-Dodger Series
7th and Massachusetts
"Where your savings are safe."
The powerful pitching staff of the Cleveland team again has the best record of any in the league, but the Indians' hitting has been spotty—weak at times and a murderer's row on other days. A club with pitchers like Feller, Lemon, Wynn, Garcia, and Gromek; and two hitters, Larry Doby and Al Rosen, who are within a good day's work of the runs-batted-in leadership, surprisingly finds itself behind the limping Yankees.
Many players have said that the Indians haven't played up to their ability all season, and one rival American league manager has accused the Indians of being a "fiveday-a-week team" which rested or loafed the other two days.
The Yankees haven't been the sluggers as in former years, and only their pitching kept them at the top. Recently Manager Casey Stengel told his players to "stop fooling around and play ball" if they wanted to win the pennant.
with the schedule for the first days of the 1952 season favoring the Cleveland Indians and because of their pitching depth, this writer believes the Indians will win their third American league pennant.
In the National league race the big question is: Will the Brooklyn Dodgers blow the pennant again?
The Bums, who had a 10 and one-half game lead over the second-place New York Giants just a few days ago, now find themselves with just a three and one-half game lead in the NL. And with that game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals, possible dark-horse pennant winners.
The Dodgers in an effort to atone for blowing a 13 and one-half game
lead to the Giants last season, broke away from the starting gate at a fast pace this season largely because of increased reserve strength. Outfielder George Shuba and pitcher Joe Black, second-string Dodgers, have played a vital role in the Brooklyn club's pennant drive.
Dodger manager Charley Dressen names lack of reserve strength as the prime reason for the Dodgers undoing last year.
The Dodgers actually did not do a tailspin last season, for they did win 26 out of their last 48 games. They simply let down from the fast pace of the early months of the season. The Giants were in a hot streak which enabled them to catch up with Brooklyn and then beat them in the playoff.
The Dodgers, who have lost the pennant on the last day of the season for two years in a row, are determined not to let it happen again. This, plus added strength to believe that the Dodgers will cling to their lead and win their sixth national league flag.
The Giants have been handicapped all season by injuries to Monte Irvin and Sal Maglie, and the loss of Willie Mays to the service. Irvin has been able to play regularly for just the last few days, and a back injury has reduced the effectiveness of Maglie. Yet the Giants have hung in the fight still hoping for another miracle finish.
So be all set for a Cleveland-Brooklyn World Series which will open on Oct. 1 at Ebbets field in Brooklyn.
