Cludad Trujillo, DR., March 18—(UP)—Johnny Jorgensen, the “forgotten man” of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was back today in the six-cornered fight for the third base position he held down for the National League champions last year.

Army Line Coach Signs To Lead Yale
New Haven, Conn., March 18—(UP)—Massive Herman Hickman, who coached Army linemen since 1943 and dabbled in wrestling, professional football and literature before that, today succeeded Howie O'Dell as head football coach at Yale university.
The signing of Hickman to a three-year contract, believed to call for approximately $10,000 a year, culminated an intensive search for a replacement for O'Dell, who resigned in January to become head coach at the University of Washington.

Rickey Admits Stanky Sale Hurt Bum's Flag Chances
Cludad Trujillo, D. R., March 18—(UP)—Branch Rickey agreed today with National League club owners and managers who feel that his Brooklyn Dodgers hurt their 1948 pennant chances by selling Eddie Stanky to the Boston Braves.
Advised by baseball writers who had covered the Florida camps that
such baseball men as Warren Giles of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Carpenter of the Philadelphia Phillies, and manager Eddie Dyer of the St. Louis Cardinals were unanimous in their opinion that Brooklyn's chances of repeating decreased with the departure of Stanky, Rickey said:
"They are right. They are smart baseball men. I agree with them."
Then he tried to defend the deal, without too much success. As usual the words flowed freely in his answers, but they were evasive to a large degree and he finally admitted:
Durocher Behind Sale
"We may have made a mistake. I have made mistakes before and I expect to make mistakes again. But I can tell you that the Stanky deal was not made until Leo Durocher and the coaches felt it was the thing to do."
Asked why he made the deal when he knew or felt it would weaken his club, he answered:
"On a deal like that mistakes are possible. We made it because we thought it would be for the best of the ball club."
Just what that "best" is he would not reveal, but it seemed to go back to the time last year when he said that Jackie Robinson was a second, and not a first baseman. Storky. A Snorklug.
Stanky A Sparkplug
But he never did answer satisfactorily just why the Dodgers let Stanky go. His explanation gave weight to what Stanky himself claimed—that he still would be with the Dodgers today if he hadn't asked for more money.
"Naturally we all knew we were giving up a lot when we gave up Stanky. It's been Stanky and Dixie Walker who have been our sparkplugs. Now Eddie has gone to the Braves and Dixie to the Pirates. We have to find replacements for them as the 'holler' guys, you might say. Eddie was the shouting one, Dixie was the behind the scenes operator." Rickey explained.
A golf driving range one mile east of Haskell Institute will be opened by May 1 to provide new recreational entertainment in Lawrence, Don Powell, intramural director, announced today.
