Bus Mertes of Kansas State was recently charged with maintaining a "farm club" at the Fairbury, Neb. junior college. The charges, however, proved unfounded as no Fairbury boy was on the Wildcat squad.
But the charge raises an interesting point—should colleges maintain "farm clubs" at the junior colleges? The idea immediately seems distasteful, but why? Branch Rickey proved to the baseball world that it was the only way to turn out top teams year after year and college football has become about as big a business as baseball.
Most good football players go to college to play football. They then enter a huge business which fils huge stadiums and needs huge men. Some of those men, however, do not have huge brains.
If a player cannot make the grade, either on the gridiron or in the classroom of a university whose conference has strict rules, he may choose, rather than lose a full-time scholarship, to play a year for a junior college, gain valuable experience and also bring up his grades.
This solution, of course, can only be used in a limited number of cases and great care must be taken lest a wrong move land coach and player in trouble.
In reality the "farm club" charge made against Mertes would have been unfounded even if a Kansas State boy or two played with Fairbury between tenures at K-State.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with giving a man a chance to gain experience and then return, provided the coach has the true interests in mind of the player involved.
Braves Gain Time,Win 3-1
By UNITED PRESS
Joe Adcock and Hank Aaron appear ready today to give the Milwaukee Braves the one-two punch that'll eventually stiffen the St Louis Cardinals.
Still Lead By Three
Coming through when they were needed most. Big Joe and the lithic defending National League batting champion took care of the Braves' offense all by themselves last night in a 3-1 victory over the New York Giants that kept Milwaukee's lead at three games. It was a vital victory because the run-happy Cardinals defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers, 12-5, for their 10th triumph in their last 12 games.
The Braves didn't increase their lead but they gained something just as precious—time. They're still three games in front—and now the Cardinals have only 10 games to make up the margin.
Adcock, injured most of the last three months, hammered his first homer since June 9 with a mate aboard in the second inning and also collected two singles. Aaron tied Ernie Banks for the major league home run lead with his 41st in the eighth and also hit two doubles.
The Cardinals, driving down the

Mather's Forces Prep For TCU Opener Saturday
stretch like the old Gashouse Gang of the 1930s, scored seven runs in the seventh inning to clinch their victory over the Dodgers.
In the American League, the New York Yankees defeated the Detroit Tigers, 7-1, and increased their lead to $6 \frac{1}{2}$ games with only nine to play. The Baltimore Orioles rallied to defeat the Chicago White Sox, 7-5, in 10 innings.
Coach Chuck Mather sent his forces through their last heavy defensive drills before their opener at Fort Worth against Texas Christian Saturday night.
Mather conducted a review of the defenses, line scrimmage and punt return practice. Today's practice will consist of heavy offensive work. The team will taper off in Thursday's drills and leave for Fort Worth at 9 a.m. Friday.
Sophomore John Peppercorn of Mission continued to run ahead of H. C. Palmer at the No. 1 left end spot. The rest of the first unit remained intact after last Saturday's scrimmage. Bobby Robinson replaced Buddy Merritt at the No. 2 left halfback position when Merritt was injured.
Peppercorn at Left End
The only other change on the No. 2 unit saw Dave Harris move into the fullback position replacing De-Witt Lewis who has a charley-horse.
Names Temporary Lineup
Mather's temporary starting lineup for Saturday's encounter has Peppercorn and Jim Letcavits at ends; Frank Gibson and Tom Horner, tackles; Bok Kraus and Tom Russell, guards; Chet Vanatta, center; Bobby Marshall, quarterback; Homer Floyd and Charlie McCue, halfbacks, and Don Feller, fullback. The second unit lists Palmer and Dale Remsberg at ends; Jim Hull and Ron Claiborne, tackles; Dick Rohlf and Paul Swoboda, guards; Walt Schmidt, center; Wally Strauch, quarterback; Bobby Robinson and Larry Carrier, halfbacks, and Dave Harris, fullback.
KU Record Poor Against TCU
Kansas' winning percentage against TCU, its' opening opponent, is the lowest of any foe on the 1957 schedule. The Jayhawkers are batting only .214 against the Horned Frogs, winning two and tying two in 14 starts. The last Kansas victory was a 13-0 blanking here in 1952 in the first nationally televised collegiate football game. The two clubs play a night game Sept. 21 in Fort Worth.
