Cyclones' Jim Robertson is A Threat In Weights
Columbia, Mo.—Oklahoma's trackmen are likely to have keen interest in how well Jim Robertson, sophomore weightian from Iowa State, can produce in his discus-shot specialties at Big Seven outdoor track meet here on Friday and Saturday.
cyclones to make his presence felt the jockeying for places, holds the best 1951 discus mark among combatants, and is third-high in the shot-put table.
These are two events in which god performances by the solid 200-ound entry from Ames could cut issouri's returns—and give the coner cause a lift.
Oklahoma has a dependable shot-tot investment in Clair Mayes, who shipped Robertson at Austin. But the Iowa State ace, absent from the conference indoor scrap, is capable of getting his "evens" on a good day yet more of a threat to knock the Tigers' Phil Brasca down a peg.rusca finished third indoors with only 50-foot toss of his career. Robertson has the edge outdoors with a top of 49 feet $2\frac{1}{4}$ inches.
In the discus, the hefty Cyclone even a more formidable burr in alzizou's hide. He palmed the plator 145 feet 7 inches at Drake for theruit's best toss, and has stayed pretty consistently in that vicinity. alzizou claims a good 1-2 punch in discus-men Vie Brewer and Bob Gecker. If the Cyclones' Robertson can keep the upper-hand here, the sooners will be most appreciative. brewer spun the discus 143 feet $^{1\%}$ inches in the Notre Dame meet, while Becker was second with 139 feet $^{1\%}$ inches.
Of Coach Burl Berry's topmost bands, Robertson, Merle Harris, 440 Dick Miller, 880 and mile; John Wilkin and Dick Silver, vault; and Jim Shearer and John Dickinson,
high jump, look best qualified to count points in I.S.C.'s behalf. Harris ran the quarter at 49.8 against Colorado.
The half-mile field is over-run with classy second-year men—with Oklahoma's Don Crabtree—fifth outdoors last year in the 880, and Rollie Cain of Kansas the only exceptions. Included in the batch of fast-stepping newcomers are: George McCormick, Oklahoma; Dum Smith, Kansas, who may be tougher in the quarter; Pete Gallup, Missouri; Dick Towers, Kansas State; and Dale Schenkel, Nebraska.
Robertson, Wildcat spinner Thane Baker, and any one of several outstanding rookie half-milers appear to be the only sophomores capable of cracking the winner's circle in the conference derby.
In the O.U.-N.U. dual meet, McCormick and Crabtree tied for first in 1:55.5, beating out Schnackel who came in with a 1:57-flat performance. Cain had a 1:55.9 trick to down Towers in their dual scrap, while Gallup won his specialty against Notre Dame in 1:56.1.
Gus Zernial Ties A Record But A's Keep On Losing
Baker, of course, could do a lot for sophomore prestige in both dashes, with Oklahoma's gifted newcomer, Quanah Cox, not to be overlooked as a dark-horse bet in the sprints, and a bona fide threat in the broad jump.
New York (U.P.)—Gloomy Gus Zernial seemed doomed today to life of futil flailing after he tied a major league home run record only to see his team lose two games in the process.
With Nebraska's indoor champion, Hobe Jones, called into service, the half-mile crown will be up for new ownership Saturday.
Xies, Zernial hit two home runs against the Eronws Wednesday night—and that was the third straight game in which he hit two homers. He tied the record for the most homers in three consecutive games—a record set by Tony Lazari of the Yankees back in 1936 and tied twice during the 1947 season by the Pirates' Ralph Kiner.
Ironically, another man who hit two homers turned the trick. Don enhardt hit two homers in powering the Brownies' 13-hit assault, living Al Widmar, the third Brown's pitcher of the game, his second victory this season.
But what good did Zernial's walloping do? The A's won the first game in which he walloped two, beating the Yanks Sunday. But they lost the second to the Browns Monday night, and the Brownies beat them again Wednesday night, 10-9.
But two homers by one man were pretty much habit yesterday. Dee Fondy and Ransom Jackson of the Cubs each got two in beating the Dodgers, 14-4, and Walt Dropo plasted two even though his Red Sox lost to the White Sox for the second straight day, 9-5.
The Tigers scored five runs in the fourth to tiger's led the Senators, 7-1, and Vie Raschi fanned 10 men as theankets beat the Indians, 11-3, in the other American league games. In the National Jim Hearn's five-hitter gave him his third victory of the season for the Giants, 2-1 over the Pirates; Al Brazile snuffed out a ninth-inning rally to give the Cardinals a 5-3 win over the Fhlis; and the Eagles scored three runs in the
the Falcons scored three runs in the
fifth and beat the Braves, 4-3.
The White Sox got nine hits off the Red Sox, and eight of them came in the first two innings when Chicago took an 8-1 lead, enabling x-Red Sox pitcher Joe Dobson to beat his old mates.
Raschi scored his sixth victory in even starts for the Yanks, allowing six hits in the eight innings he worked.
The Reds got to within two and a half games of first place in the National league when they got four straight hits off Johnny Sain in the eighth after getting only four off of him until then. Joe Adecko's two-run single decision the game.
Greenwood Lake, N.Y. (U.P.)—On the eve of his wetterweight title fight, Johnny Bratton said today he regards boxing as a dangerous sport and he wants to get out of it "before anything happens to me."
Champ Wants To Quit Fighting
For that reason the sieek, 23-year old Chicago negro is grimly determined to beat Kid Gavilan of Cuba Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
"I want to make money fast enough so I can retire when I'm 27." he continued. "By that time I should own a few apartment houses in Chicago and have a steady income for the rest of my life."
The classy combination boxer-puncher with the cauliflowered left ear and slightly flattened nose already is recognized as 147-pound champion by the National Boxing association. Friday night's winner also will win recognition from the New York commission.
"As undisputed champion I can make money fast," he said.

Joe Page To Kansas City
New York (U.P.)—Fireman Joe Page, no longer the five alarm wonder he once was, sadly headed for Kansas City today where he hopes to once again fan a dying flame.
Released outright by the New York Yankees, a club he helped pitch to two world championships, the boyish-looking, 33-year-old lefthander was scheduled to report to Kansas City of the American association today.
Elsewhere in the majors, other clubs pared to the 25-player limit in the following manner:
Brooklyn optioned Earl Mosser to St. Paul of the American association while the Phillies optioned three players—pitcher Jack Brittin to Baltimore of the International league; Outfielder Ed Saniki to Scheneetady of the Eastern league and pitcher Buzz Bowers to Terre Haute of the Three-I-league.
