College Fight Against TV Is Apparently Successful
Chicago (U.P.)The nation's colleges apparently have beaten back an effort in various state legislatures to force live television of collegiate football next fall.
A survey of the major states in which compulsory legislation was introduced, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington and Minnesota, showed that all legislation either was dropped or "watered down" so that no state institution would be compelled to grant video rights.
There was no evidence of an organized television industry lobby in any of the states, nor was there any apparent battle by the National Collegiate Athletic Association against legislation which might have broken the year long "moratorium" on live football video.
However, the college tactic was displayed when the going was tough for the University of Oklahoma before the legislature. Other members of the Big Seven conference quickly notified Sooner officials that they
would be banned from conference grid competition should television be required.
Both the N.C.A.A., facing an antitrust investigation to determine whether its "moratorium" might violate the Sherman act, and the Big Ten have taken the position unofficially that members forced to television grid contests would be forced to resign.
"You've either got an organization or you haven't," one spokesman said. "If an institution is compelled to televise against its wishes, or against rules of a conference, then it probably will withdraw."
Bills requiring television have been pushed aside in Oklahoma, following the Big Seven action, and Michigan, and definitely defeated in Minnesota and Washington.
Kansas State Coach Believes 'We're Going To Win Some'
Manhattan (U.P.)—Bill Meek, new Kansas State college football coach, talked about hustle today and predicted the Wildcats "are going to win some ball games next fall."
Meek said he figured that somewhere, some Saturday the Wildcats would find someone shy on hustle, and that's the day he expects K-State to wrap one up.
The new coach, former Tennessee backfield star and Maryland back-field coach, speaks softly off the football field. But on the field he drives hard. He has been drawing enthused students to spring drill sessions.
Meek moved into a difficult spot in the tough Big Seven conference Kansas State accepted Ralph Graham's resignation last season, before the end of the schedule. Graham left with a record of 4-26-1 in three seasons.
John Cudmore has been handling the ends, Al Price the guards and Jake Rowden the centers. Jim Larue has been helping Meek with the backfield men.
Meek said if he could muster as much talent as hustle on the K-State squad, "we'd be ready for anyone."
Meek said the quarterback job offered him his greatest problem. None of the candidates tried so far have come up to his expectations. None has shown any great ability for passing the ball.
But nobody at K-State appeared greatly concerned. Too much hustle for worry.
"We may not have too many players left on the squad when the season starts next fall." Meek said, "but what we do have will be conditioned football players who really want to play the game."
Better Watch Out For The Dodgers They May Be On Their Way At Last
New York (U.P.)—Remember Monday, April 23, for it could be the day the Brooklyn Dodgers turned the National League pennant race into a runaway.
It was not simply that in a 16-inning, three hour, 53 minute dramapacked game they beat Boston, 2 to 1. After all, the victory had the taint of an unearned winning run. And their hitters did not in any way be laborer the great Warren Spahn, who went all the way, yet had to settle on his 30th birthday for a heart-breaking loss that wasn't his fault.
It was, instead, that in prolonging a winning streak to five games, the Dodgers—who had been stuck with a serious pitching situation—produced two hurlers with the equipment to be consistent winners.
The relief pitching—as it has been in every game so far—was superb. After lefty Joe Hatten pitched 11½ innings in which he yielded only one run and five hits, Erv Palica and Clyde King finished up with scoreless relief work and just two more hits.
Carl Furillo, who won Sunday's 10-inning game with a homer against the Giants, also won yesterday's with a two-out single that scored Billy Cox. Cox had led off with a single and after King sacrificed, he went to third as Gene Mauch made a school-boyish error on a grounder by pinch-hitter Eddie Mkisis.
Harry "The Cat" Brecheur hurled the Cardinals to a neat 2 to 1 win over Cincinnati last night, Connie Ryan's second-inning homer accounting for the Reds' lone run, Veteran Ken Raffensberger suffered his second setback of the season.
Despite Home Runs by Jack "Lucky" Lohrke and Bobby Thomson, the Giants bowed to the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 to 4, in another arc-contest. Blond Jocko Thompson was given a chance to start by Philie Manager Eddie Sawyer and came through with his first victory of the campaign.
Vic Wertz blasted a three-run homer in the ninth to give the Tigers a 7 to 4 victory over the Brownins at Detroit. Ray Herbert earned his first victory of the season, an eight-hit job. Myron Ginsberg also homered for Detroit.
Andy Pfafko doubled with two out in the ninth to drive home the winning run as the Cubs defeated the Pirates, 2 to 1, at Chicago and Dutch Hiller edged Mel Queen in another fine pitching battle. Queen struck out nine in defeat and gave up only five hits to eight for Hiller. Bill Serena homered for Chicago.
Once more Mickey Mantle was the big show as the Yankees edged the Athletics, 5 to 4, at New York. He hit three singles to set the pace for the six-hit pitching of Vic Raschi. Pinch-hitter Lou Limmer made it close with a two-run homer in the ninth.
Detroit (U.P.)—Joe Louis revealed today that he will give up his campaign to regain the heavyweight championship unless champion Ezward Charles agrees to a fall title fight.
Louis May Quit The Fight Game
The Brown Bomber has been in the hospital with a bad cold but expects to be back on his feet for a bout with Omelio Agarmonte May 2 at Olympia stadium here. The bout is intended as a tune-up for a second Charles scrap.
By the end of 1950, more than 2,447,000 World War II veterans had obtained GI guaranteed and insured loans having a total value of nearly 14 billion dollars. Ninety per cent of the loans were for homes; the remainder were for farms and businesses.
"I'll just quit trying to win back the title if I can't get Charles in the ring with me by at least November. I don't figure I can keep a good edge on past that time," Louis said.
The former heavyweight king has made no secret of his disappointment at the postponement of his proposed June tussle with Charles when the latter suffered a mangle left ear against Jersey Joe Walcott last March.
"Winning back the championship still means everything to me, but I'm not getting any younger," Louis said.
"I was so set on fighting him right away that I agreed to only 20 per cent of the gate," Louis disclosed.
Present negotiations for a second Louis-Charles bout have bogged down because Marshall Miles, Louis' manager, insists on a 30-30 split which Charles' manager, Jake Mintz, won't accept.

Miles argues that Louis could have afforded to take the short end of the purse if the fight had been held this spring, but that the delay is costing Joe money.
Eight helicopters took off at the same time from the USS Valley Forge Dec. 27, 1950, in the largest mass take-off of such craft in Navy history.
