, When the news broke last week that-Boston University’s All-
American quarterback Harry Agganis. had been discharged from
, the Marines, football subsidization, which has stampeded to un
imaginable heights, was provided with a-peculiar twist.
, According to reports, Aggaiiis was discharged on a claim that
his mother was dependent on him for, support. That’s well and good
, except that the paymaster seems I
to be stationed on the BU campus.
, I can't see pointing a nasty
* finger at Agganis, however.
Most likely he wasn't anxious
i to spend any more' time in the
service than was necessary, and
grabbed the opportunity to gel
out when it came his way—just
as anyone would.
* But this same sort of thing is
cropping, up constantly' through
, out intercollegiate football, and
an NCAA, investigation of some
sort should be made.
* I think, a story from the. United
Press, wire can better illustrate
,my point.'Ac

Braves Beat 1 Dodgers 4-3;
Giants Trail by Half Game
The Boston Braves kept the fading Brooklyn Dodgers on the
skids yesterday at Braves Field by whipping the Bums and their
ace pitcher, Preacher Roe, 4-3, thereby cutting their National Lea
gue lead over the New York Giants to a mere half game, the As
sociated Press reported.
If the Dodgers lose one of their three remaining games with
the Phillies at Shibe Park and the
Giants ; cop their two remaining
contests with the Bra v.e s at
Braves Field, the National Lea
gue race will end in a deadlock
and require a playoff.
Small Crowd
With a sparce crowd of only
2,086 witnessing the crucial bat
tle, the hustling Braves cooled
off two Dodger rallies, in the
seventh inning and again in the
ninth, and managed to . push
across a tally in the last of the
eighth frame to give lefty Chet
Nichols his 11th triumph.
Roe started for the Bums and
saw his hopes ofestablishing a
new pitching percentage vanish
as he dropped his third game
against 22 wins. His 10-game win
streak, which began July 18, was
also shattered.
In the American League race,
the Boston Red Sox, went down
to another defeat yesterday at
Griffith Stadium as the lowly
Washington Senators surprised
the Beantowners. 8-6.
Three-hit Ball
With A 1 Sima, who relieved
starter Julio Moreno in the first
Mining, pitching three-hit ball
for five and two-third innings,
the Nats smacked Boston pitch
ing for eight runs on 11 solid
hits to ice the verdict.
The remaining afternoon game
in the American League saw the
last place St. Louis Browns hand
Freddie Hutchinson his 10th loss
of the season when they upset the
Detroit Tigers, 7-4, at Sports
man, Park.
. A meager crowd of 560 paid
witnessed the fray. Rookie Duke
Markell, just brought up from
Oklahoma City, allowed only
eight hits to post his first major
league win. Johnny Groth and
Matt Batts smacked out home
runs during the course of the one
hour and 34 minute game.

Giles-Named
New National
Loop President
CINCINNATI, Sept. 7 21—(IP)—
Warren, C. Giles will become
president of the National League
Oct. 16 and will establish head
quarters in. Cincinnati.
That was determined today
when' Giles, president and gen
eral manager of the Cincinnati
Reds, accepted the invitation of
other clubs in the circuit to take
the post.
Succeeds Frick
He will succeed Ford Frick, who
last week was elected baseball
commissioner. It was understood
Giles’ salary will be $55,000 a
year, although he declined to
comment on that subject.
The 55-year-old Cincinnatian’s
term of office will end Dec. .31,
1955, he said.
In Giles, the oldest of the ma
jor leagues . gets- a man who
knows all the ins arid outs of
baseball. He has been an execu
tive in the sport for many years,
and presently is a member of its
executive council.
Deadlock With Frick
A week ago in Chicago, Frick
and he were deadlocked in a con
test for the baseball commission
ership.
Numerous ballots were taken
throughout the day. but after a
recess for dinner, Giles suddenly
announced his withdrawal. Frick,
for 17 years the National League
president, then was elected unani
mously.
From the time Giles sportingly
withdrew, he was virtually the
only person mentioned to succeed
Frick.
Contracts totalling $891,430 for
the construction of a four-story
addition to Buckhout Laboratory
were awarded on July 5' by the
General State Authority.
ineup against Bucknell, with a sec-
first eleven will be Jack Pinezich,
inside right, whiie Dick Cheskis
is a good bet to open up at goalie.
Pinezich might be an added spark
for State this season. He could
do a lot of scoring.
3 New Froniliners
: The three other members of
the front line—John Hess, Hap
Irvin, and Don Shirk are all
fairly new to State soccer. Of the
three, Shirk and Irvin are sophs
while Hess is a junior.
Irvin and Hess will open up at
the wing spots while Shirk will
start at Joe Lane’s old position of
center forward. Irvin will be on
the left side with Hess on the
right.
Coach Bill Jeffrey thinks that
Irvin,. who never played wing
before, will do better at the new
position because “he has a good
left • foot as well as more room
to operate.” Hess will no doubt
use his tremendous speed and
ability to. steal the ball to great
advantage.
Halfback Slots
The halfback slots will be
handled by three juniors—Kurt
Klaus, center; Frank Follmer,
right; and Jack Charlton, left.
Follmer and Klaus were regulars
last season while Charlton saw
action as a reserve.
At fullback Jeffrey will no
doubt send Jay Simmons and
Paul Dierk against the Bisons.
When the time comes to get the
ball out of danger, Simmons and
Dierk are adept.
If Jeffrey decides not to use
Cheskis at goalie, then Jack
Krumrine.' a junior, will receive
the nod. -
Gabe Paul Named
To Succeed Giles
CINCINNATI, Sept. 27—(IP)—
The chairman of the board of the
Cincinnati Reds tonight appointed
Gabe Paul as general manager of
the National League club to suc
ceed "Warren Giles, new league
president.
The title, of president of the
Reds, which Giles also held, re
verted to, Powel Crosley, board
chairman.
Gile§ earlier today accepted
the presidency of the National
League, succeeding Ford Frick,
new baseball commissioner.
Paul immediately announced
the retention of Luke Sewell as
manager of the Reds for 1952.
Commissioners
May Probe Fight
NEW YORK, Sept. 27—(IP)—
Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler
may be called on the carpet by
the New York State Athletic
Commission for last night’s wrest
ling match with boxing gloves.
Bob Christenberry, new chair
man of the New York State Ath
letic Commission, today directed
all officials , present at the Polo
Grounds for the featherweight
title to submit written reports.

Schoolboys
Swing into
Tough Week
HARRISBURG, Sept. 27— (3*) —
Crucial league battles and many
contests between teams high
light this fourth weekend of
schoolboy football in , Pennsyl
vania. '
Here’s the way the predictions
read for the top conference games
this weekend:
WPIAL class AA Twenty
teams are left in the running ir
the lose-and-out affair. There’ll
be half that many after this
weekend. The top contests look
like Uniontown over Redstone
Twp., Aliquippa over Ellwood
City and New Castle over Shar
on. All six teams are -unbeaten
in the league. The others have
Ambridge over Beaver Falls;
Munhall over Braddock; Clairton
over McKeesport; Jeannette over
Connellsville; Latrobe over Don
ora; and Mt. Lebanon over Pom.
Should Stay Unbeaten
Section two—Warren should
remain unbeaten in this new
six-team loop' in a close one over
an improving Oil City eleven.
Corry should have an easier time
with tailender Franklin.
Western—Here again two un
beaten contenders meet in the
top game as Conemaugh Twp.
goes to Ebensburg in a game that
will also affect the first place,
standings in the Mountain Lea
gue. Ebensburg. had a slightly
easier time with Ferndale than
Conemaugh did so the nod goes
to the home team. The other
games look like Adams Twp. over
Conemaugh Borough; Bellwood-
Antis to swamp Osceola Mills;
Lewistown just as easy over Mt.
Union; Bedford over Westmont in
a close one and Somerset to get
by Meyersdale.
Evenly Matched
Central Penn Three' evenly
matched games are carded in the
strong eight-team league this
weekend. They could go either
way but they look like Lebanon
to bounce back and hand Lan
caster. its first defeat; York to
win its first game of the season
against Williamsport’s defending
co-champions and Reading over
Harrisburg John Harris by a
whisker in a thriller.'
Eastern Conference The
Southern Division grabs the
weekend spotlight in this 55-
team conference with two excel
lent matches on deck. Once-beat
en Sunbury will find it tough
to bounce back from its 7-6 loss
to Berwick as the Owls journey
to meet Pottsville’s unbeaten
team.
BiH Ashenfelter, last of the
fabulous Ashenfelters and-captain
of last year’s national champion
ship cross-country team, will
spearhead the Perm State team
that Coach Chick Werner fields
for the opening test against Pitt
Oct. 6. .
