Dash for Score
Sudden Marker Comes

OXFORD. Miss, Nov. %. -
chunky sophomore quarter back

of Mississippi team today to beat the
Rebels. 60, and give Mississippi
State its first Southeastern Confer
ence football championship.
For the third straight year States
Maroons throttled the fancy run
ming and passing of MiSsiSsippi's
touchdown twins, Junie Hovious and
Merle Hapes. And for a third
straight year-and the 22nd time In
80 starts-State took the bitter in
tra-State contest.
Score Comes Suddenly.
The touchdown came with explo-
sive suddenness three minutes be-
fore the end of the first half. Sonny
Bruce took Jack Flack's punt on
the Mississippi State 80 and returned
II yard.
Then Bruce whipped pass to
Kermit Davis, sophomore end. who
piled down to the Mississippi 40. A
line buck gained two. Moates shot
through center on quarterback
sneak. cut toward the sideline, and
charged over for the touchdown.
Bruce tried a place-kick for the
extra point. but II was wide.
Before the game Coach Allyn
McKeen of State remarked: Mis-
sissippi has the stars and we have
the scrap"
That-and some brilliant sopho-
nnores-won the game for State. II

Mississippi threatened once more

Hovious broke away on punt re-
turn and streaked so yards up the
sideline before stepping out of
bounds on States II. Hovious and
Hapes banged their way to the 8,
where Hapes was thrown back on

STANDINGS.
By GEORGE HUBER.


A couple of protested games are
complicating matters, but, ignoring
them until dealt with by the proper
authorities, Eastern sits in the driv-
er's seat in the high school baseball
series waiting for Central and West
ern to decide which will take on the
Ramblers in the championship play
off series.
The Vikings and Red Raiders will
clash Friday at Western, with the
winner to receive a crack at the title
This game originally was scheduled
before the Easter holidays, but was
postponed because Central was not
ready. having had no field on which
to practice. Western remained in
the running yesterday by taking a
sloppily played game over Roose-
welt, 9-5. while Eastern finished it's
series schedule by nosing out Ana
costa, lilo.
A big inning did the trick in both
cases. The Raiders came from be-
hind with 6 runs in the seventh,
while Eastern overlook the enemy
Will o IullS Ill llle HUI.
Declares Hoffman Ineligible.
In regard to protests, Coach Rol-
land Lund of Anacostia claimed that
EasternS Jack Hoffman partici-
pated in sandlot game with the
Cardinals the last two Sundays and
hence was ineligible. Two of %his
players certify they saw him play.
Emphatic are denials from Eastern.
Its counter claim is that it was
Jacks brother Bill who played with
the Cardinals and several Eastern
students bac kthis up. Principal
Charles Hart interviewed Bill and
others and, convinced that Bill was
the one who played, sent letter
to that effect along with the team.
If the protest is upheld, the game
will be forfeited to Anacostia.
Another protest on file at Franklin
School is from Roosevelt's Coach
Herman Littman over the Roose-
velt-Central game some weeks ago
and regarding an umpire's inter-
probation of rules. If this protest is
upheld the game will be replayed.
The Roosevelt Western clash yes
terday was marred by errors, Is in
all Westerns ability to capitalize
on miscues decided the issue. The
Raiders we're outhit, 14-10, but most
of their men crossed the plate with
only six dying on the bases. The
Riders left 13.
Coming up for the seventh with
the tally at Sail, Western collected
only three singles. but produced SIX
runs. enough to lock up the game.
Three errors, one a three-base af-
fair, a sacrifice and balk helped
things along.
Charles Hines. who relieved West
ern's Clarence Kuldell in the sew
enth inning, did a good helping job
by setting down seven men in a
row to end the game. Bob Leach,
the Raiders snappy first baseman,
had a perfect day with one hit in
one official trip, drawing four passes
and scoring three runs. Another
powerful Raider was Gene Shoe
maker, whose two hits batted in
| three runs.

By BURTON HAWKINS.

Baseballs charming inconsistency
is being reflected in the long right
arm of that languid Latin. Ale
jandro Carrasquel, who owes his
existence in the major leagues to
the fact he wasn't good enough
to stick in the minors, all Of which
may require an explanation.
The silent specimen from South
America, as lonesome as a lost pup
since his pals from the rhumba
region drifted to other parts OF the
baseball world, also is around at
the moment because Manager
Bucky Harris or sone of the Mats
couldn't locate a long, thin blade
to plunge in his hairy chest earlier
in the season.
Alexandra was as unpopular as
pimples after his first two perform
ances of the year. He was with the
Mats through the courtesy Of Jersey
City, anyway, for last season the
International League club had
taken a peek at Carrasquel and
didn't relish his pitching behavior,
Thus he was turned back to the
Mats, who are stuck with him.
Alex Strictly a Loner.
There was, and is, nobody on the
club who can speak his language
and nobody is eager to purchase
a Spanish dictionary. That seems
to be all right with Alexandra,
though, for he shows no desire to
fathom the intricacies of English.
He strictly is '1oner," partly by
preference but mostly because the
Mats aren't interested in cultivating
his companionship.
Carrasquel only few weeks ago
was a detested individual. In his
first performance of the season,
against the Red Sox at Boston in
relief role. he retired the first two
batters he faced in the ninth inning
but then promptly blew 3-run
lead.
The Mats required only one more
out to insure victory, but Car
rasquel whipped two strikes over
on Joe Cronin and then walked him.
Bobby Doerr followed with homer
over the left field fence and Jim
Tabor locked the score with another
circuit smash over the same barrier.
The Mats then lost the game in the
18th inning.
Harris Loses Patience.
Harris, normally patient. could be
excused that night for saying Car
rasquel never again would pitch for
him. The Mats were glowering at
the lean Venezuelan and contemptu-

ously referring to him as ALEX the
Lion-Hearted." He wasn't very
popular.
Bucky relented and pitched Car
rasquel in a relief spot at Phil
adelphia week later, much to his
regret. The first man to face
Alexandra, frankie Hayes, pumped
a mighty home run atop the roof Of
Shibe Park. To the Mats it was like
being slapped on a sunburned back.
Since then, though, Carrasquel
has been the leagues finest relief
pitcher. He currently owns a string
of 13 scoreless innings and over
that span he has allowed only nine
hits and walked only three batters.
In seven innings against st. Louis,
four against Philadelphia and two
against the White Sox, Carrasquel
since has sparkled. Gone are his
former chums-Roberto Estalella,
Roberto Ortiz, Gilberto Torres, etc.
but Alexandra remains to con-
found his critics.
Being Called Upon Often.
Carrasquel has been seeing more
service than Harris desires, for
Bucky now has seen six successive
starters fail to finish. Dutch Leon
ard was the latest, absorbing a Sd
pasting yesterday at Griffith Sta
dium, as the White Sox swept a
three-game series.
Washingtons hopes of ending a
modest losing streak weren't bright
today, for rapid Robert Feller was
to pursue his eighth triumph as the
Cleveland Indians invade for two

hurl here tomorrow, with Steven
Sundra slated to pitch the Mats
first night game of the season Fri
day night at Philadelphia.

raveled against Feller recently at
Cleveland, was to attempt to trump
the Indians ace. Cleveland invad-
ed with a three-game losing streak.
the league leaders having suffered
harsh treatment by the AS.
Sox Rude to Leonard.
The White Sox weren't polite in
their treatment of Leonard. Billy
Knickerbocker, Joe Kuhel and Taft
Wright slammed him for doubles
to produce two runs in the first
inning, but the Mats retaliated with
two runs in their half of the first.
Thereafter Thornton Lee was less
liberal with his hits. He allowed
the Mats only four scattered safeties
in the next eight innings and a
total of six, which isn't considered
very many.

Merely Striking
Normal Pacein
Losing Streak
Both Defeated Again,
As Handing Harder
His First Setback
By JUDSON BAILEY.


Percentages control everything In
baseball.
You see them in the standings OF
the clubs, in the batting and fielding
averages and in other statistics. You
don't see them, but they are present
when a left-handed pinch-hltter is
sent in against a right-handed
pitcher, or a batter is walked to set
up a double play, or the infield
comes in close to play for a sacrifice,
or the outfleld moves around in po-
sition for a dead-left- hitter.
Percentage" is the reason behind
every move in the game-even to the
batters who never strike at 80
pitch.
This claw of averages" also is the
key to the present tailspins of the
Cleveland Indians and Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Before the Indians lost their three
straight to the seventh-place Phil
adelphia Athletics they had won q
games and lost nine for a ia per-
centage. Before the Dodgers dropped
four in a row at Pittsburgh and Chi
cago they had won % and lost six
for a Sensa tional 1856.
Pace Simply Too Fast.
These simply were speeds too fast
for either club to maintain, just as
the same reasoning applies to the
st. Louis Cardinals, who were breez-
ing along at a ia clip till they were
bumped yesterday by the last-place
Phillies.
In the past 40 years in the ma jor
leagues only seven championships
have been won with percentages
above 700.
In the course of bringing the
Dodgers down to earth, the Cubs
made 80 hits and 80 runs in three
contests. They bagged yesterdays
finale, 81, punching six hits for
three runs in the fourth against
Kirby Higbe and nicking Newt KIM
bail in the eighth for six runs, three
of them on Lou Stringers triple with
the bases loaded.
The Cardinals, cut down, ga, IN
IL innings by the Phils, remained q
half game behind the Dodgers IN
won-lost figuring although holding
on to the Official percentage lead.
Johnny Mize provided the Redbirds
with a four-run margin with two
| doubles and a triple in the first five
| innings, but after that Boom
Boom" Beck and Ike Pearson
pitched shutout relief ball while
their mates pecked away until they
won.
McCOrmick's Homer Does 1t.
Frank Mccormick smacked
three-run homer with two out in
the ninth to give the Cincinnati
Reds a 9-6 victory over the Boston
Braves after Ernie Koy of the Reds
had hit round-tripper with one
on in the eighth.
Arky Vaughan settled seesaw
game between the New York Giants
and Pittsburgh in favor of the
Pirates, rs, with a two-run homer
in the seventh.
The Athletics ambuShed Mel

four victories, and whipped the In

Polish OFF Indian Hurlers.

Despite getting two men on base
in each of the first four innings,
Eastern was able to score only one
run until the sixth, when it sent 13
men to bat. Before that frame was
over The Tide had knocked out
both Starting Pitcher John Penn
and Relief Hurler Elmer Leukhardt,
collecting triple, three doubles
and three singles. Anacostia con-
tributed three errors to the rally.
Anacostia players claim that Hoff-
man asked to be taken out of the
game because he was nervous over
the protest against him, but if he
was jittery it wasn't visible in his
play. All he did before being re-
moved in the sixth was collect four
hits, of them doubles, and earn
batting honors for the day.
Paul Blaine's home run, lost in
the center-feld bushes, produced
Anacostia's last two runs in the
eighth and narrowed the gap to one
run, but the Indians went out in
1-2-3 order in the ninth.
