Four Yankees Make All-Star Team But "Big Joe" Isn't One Of Them
New York—(U.P.)-No matter what happens, the Yankees still come out on top.
Four of the World Champs, catcher Yogi Berra, shortstop Phil Rizzuto, rookie second baseman Gil McDougald, and pitcher Allie Reynolds were named today to the annual United Press American League All-Star team selected by 24 veteran baseball writers three in each league city.
It was the usual domination. The rest of the team consisted of outfielders Ted Williams and Dom Dimaggio of the Red Sox and Orestes Minoso of the White Sox, first baseman Ferris Fain of the Athletics, third baseman George Kell of the Tigers, and pitcher Ned Garver of the Browns.
There was a significant turnover in the All-Star selections. Only three players were repeaters from last year as a new crop of top talent blossomed all over the loop. The holdovers were Berra, Kell and Rizzuto.
Berra also had another distinction—he was the only player selectedanimously. The hard-workingtitle catcher who looks like a
This'n That; Here'n There
Greenwood Lake, N.Y. — (U.P.) — Here where the gay October trees spread their yellows and russets and flaming reds up the side of Bearfort mountain, heavyweight Rocky Marciano used a new method today to sharpen his ax for Joe Louis.
The unbeaten slugger from Brockton, Mass., shortened his sparring rounds from three minutes each to two minutes.
Should 27-year-old Marciano, with 37 straight victories under his belt, knock out Louis, he probably would be regarded generally as the best fighter in the world and the favorite to beat either champion Jersey Joe Walcott or ex-champ Ezzard Charles.
CANT STOP TELEVISION
San Francisco — (U.P.) — Hugh C. Willett, president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, said today his organization "doubts" it can keep football games from being televised into the home.
Willett told the San Francisco Touchdown club Tuesday the NCAA was "spending $100,000" on surveys and studies of television this season.
'BO' AILING
The survey was expected to show that TV made great inroads into the financial departments of college athletics.
Philadelphia—(U.P.)—F or m e r Notre Dame ace Wayne Millner, the National Football League's newest head coach, set out today to fill the shoes of ailing Alvin (Bo) McMillin as pilot of the Philadelphia Eagles for the rest of the 1951 season.
An ulcer condition forced the 56-year-old snow-haired McMillin to the sidelines. Dr. Thomas Dowd, Eagles' team physician, Tuesday ordered him to forget football for the "balance of the year" in the wake of an operation at St. Mary's Capital Oct. 12.
Intramural Managers Chosen For The Year
The men responsible for the efficiency of the students' intramural programs this year have been selected, it was announced Tuesday.
Supervisors include Joseph Olenchalk, education senior, and Clark Merriman, engineering sophomore. The senior manager is Jerry Armstrong.
Dick Nordstrum and Jim Moorhead will handle phases concerning "major" sports, with Bob Pooleson and Jim Perry working out individual sport programs.
Others who will assist include: junior managers Jim Perry and Moorhead; soph managers Dick Nordstrum, Poolson, and Fred Wen Bebber; fresh managers: Carl Adults, Alden Broulee, Ken Hay, Gad Smith, Leonard Jurendan, Dan Barron, Harold Hixson, and Al Stallard.
shrimp-blimp, was the best of a below average crop of backstops. Setting the Yankee long distance hitting pace with 88 runs batted in and 27 homers, he also played in 141 games — a remarkable total for a catcher.
Rizzuto, last year's most valuable player, didn't quite measure up to his 1950 standards, but held the Yankee infield together, batted a solid 274 and stole 17 bases. He won by a good margin over coming star Al Carrasquael of the White Sox.
Rookie McDougald, good at both second and third, won out at the keystone spot in a close race over Bobby Avila of Cleveland and Nelson Fox of the White Sox. He was the only Yankee to bat over .300, hitting .306 and ousted last year's second base all-star, Jerry Coleman from his job. Kell, who has been the league's best third baseman for years, probably have been chosen unanimously had not some of McDougald's votes been at that spot. Kell batted .319, a little off his usual standard, but still the best at that post.
Fain, despite a six-week layoff because of injuries, was named on all but one first base ballot. He won the league batting championship with a
Track Season Opens Friday
Led by veteran Herb Semper, who has already smashed records right and left in Big Seven and N.C.A.A. in the past, the University of Kansas track team opens the '51-'52 season against Oklahoma A. and M. at Stillwater on Friday.
Keith Palmquist Jr., is the only other letter-man on Easton's seven man squad.
The two-mile dual meet with the "leading light" in the Missouri Valley conference will give track coach Bill Easton a glimpse of what he can expect of his sophomore laden team, at this phase in the game.
The five sophs are paced by Wes Santee, already a "name" in cinder circles, Norm Bitner, Dick Wilson, Art Dallzell and Llovd Koby.
"Ralph always has good distance men." Easton said. "His track team dominates that conference, regularly."
The Jayhawk track mentor was referring to Coach Ralph Higgins, whose Aggie track team commands national respect.
The Jayhawk team will fly to Stillwater Friday morning and return that evening.
Friday's competition is the first meeting between the two schools.
Kansas State, with its coach calling the team "the best he's had" will come to Lawrence on the following Friday, Oct. 26.
nifty .344 mark and was easily the best offensive player at the bag.
In the outfield, Rookie Minoso, who wound up with a .326 average and led the league in stolen bases with 31, and in triples with 14, stood out over both of the Boston veterans. Williams batted a below par .318 but still managed to bat in 126 runs and hit 30 homers. Even though he faded in the stretch with the rest of the Red Sox.
Dom Dimaggio batted. 294 and won out over Athletic slugger, Gus Zernial, who just missed the team. Zernial batted in 129 runs and hit 33 homers, leading the league in both departments, even though he hit only 268.
Reynolds, double no-hit hero of the Yankees, won out in a close race with his own mates, Ed Lopat and Vic Raschi, and Cleveland Ace Bobby Feller. But Garver, who won 20 games and lost 12 with the tattered Brown's, paced the pitching balloting all the way. Reynolds won 17 and lost eight and was the key Yankee in the big games including his no-hit triumphs over top contenders, Boston and Cleveland.
Other players who received votes were Gene Woodling, Joe Dimaggio and Hank Bauer of the Yankees, Irv Noren of the Senators, and Larry Doby of the Indians in the outfield; Eddie Robinson of the White Sox at first base; Gerry Priddy of Detroit at second; Eddie Joost of the Athletics at shortstop; and pitchers Early Wynn and Mike Garcia of Cleveland, and Bobby Shantz of the athletics.
Fan Trouble In Majors
Washington— (U.P.) —The former vice-president of the Chicago White Sox says baseball would be "better off" if St. Louis, Boston and Philadelphia each lost one of its two major league teams.
But Leslie M. O'Connor, now counsel for the Pacific Coast league, doesn't want any major league club moved out to the West Coast.
O'Connor told a House monopoly subcommittee Tuesday that such action would interfere with his league's plans for growing into a "third major league" in the "next generation" and providing a three-way World Series.
O'Connor was drawn into the discussion when chairman Emanuel Celler (D.-N.Y.) asked what remedy he could recommend for the "intolerable" situation in St. Louis where fans support for two big league teams is sadly lacking.
The trouble is, O'Connor said, such moves would knock Baltimore and Montreal out of the International League and out of "probably put that league out of business." Furie, the American Association would be hurt by major league competition with the Milwaukee Brewers.

FORREST C. (PHOG) ALLEN started working out with the basketball team on Monday and has nine returning lettermen to mold his '51 cage aggregation around. About 30 boys turned out for initial workouts and the number is expected to increase after football season ends. At least two, and perhaps more gridders, will swell the basketball ranks.
