TODAY'S SPORT PARADE

spacious Plant field. II guess II
you sat down long enough and tried
to figure 1t out there are q number
Of reasons"
Not Enough
Bits pet theory Is that they SIM
ply don't get the practice in the
batting cage which the other play
ers get. But you can add TO that
the fact that o sensible pitcher
won't waste needed energy to cut
hard at the ball; that some figure
they're doing enough work just
pitching-and that as q rule they
Just don't hit,
All Of which SINNERS down to the
realization that hitting q baseball
is becoming Stereotyped or, II you
will, styled, according TO position.
There now appears TO be q pre-
conceived notion as 10 just how
much a player should be able TO
hit because OF his position.
Take them in a row and it's like
this:
!. Pitchers aren't supposed TO
Inland don't as rule.
2. Catchers can get by fairly well
with a strong arm and belt in
the clutch.
8. Infielders need those bingles-
unless they're wizards on defense.
4. Outfielders-whale it or move
over, Bud.
Proof of the fourth point is that
three men are touted as the poten-
tial slugging kings OF 1946-Ted
williams, Dick Wakefield and Joe
DiMaggio. They are all outfielders
and they can knock the ball out
of the park at any moment. But
let them hit a measly 800 and
they're in a slump. In seven Of the
last 10 years, the leading hitter in
the Major leagues was an outfielder.
mo, I can't say exactly why
pitchers can't or aren't expected to
hit" McKechnie said. But I'll tell
you in Walters case why he can.
He works hard and he loves to get
up there in that batting cage and
take his licks. He'd hit all day If
I'd let him. Even though 1t would
help them win a game lots Of times,
pitchers Just don't seem to hit or
even want TO-"
SO, Mate, If Junior shows an apti-
tude for clouting that apple, just
settle for q sore arm at the office
and lay them up there to him. The
pay is awfully good. But don't for

pile Of dough in that also. and you,
too will have the fun breaking Mrs.
Murphy's window.

because his persistent left jahs and

downs. Referee Frankie Fullam
called the bout even on rounds and
points. One OF the judges favored
Joyce, and the other KApilow.

NEW YORK, Dec, 10-For the first time in history, the aerial minded Southwest Conference has failed to produce the nations pas singest" college football team
 That distinction belonged today to Oklahoma A. and NJ College. which hurled 252 forward passes during the 1946 season, more than any other collegiate eleven
 Statistics released by the Ma tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau also disclosed that Nevada com piled the best yardage average on passes.
 Notre Dame, the country's No. team, led the nation in combined offense and also compiled the best defensive records to become the first team in history to take top honors in both departments.
 The Fighting Irish rolled up B. C6l yaros on the ground in nine games to lead the list in rushing and covered 9l yards OF passes for a total ot 3,972 and a combined average of 4l3 yards per game.
 On the defensive side, Notre Dame held it's nine opponents to an average of 14l.7 yards per game by both rushing and passing
 Oklahoma completed the season with the best defensive record against running plays, holding ten opponents to an average of 58 yards per game on the ground.

DARNEII'S MAKE
 PROTEST OF WIN
 BY MIXES FRIDAY

No decision will be made tor the time being on. the protested City Basketball League game last Fri day night between Mikes and Oar nelrs, League Director A. B. Phil lips stated this morning.
 The protest in the game, which was won by Mikes, 34 to 32, was made by Darnells. Reason was that during the last four minutes of play. the timekeeper didn't stop the clock every time the ball was dead. thus shortening the game. Official estimate of the time lost was placed at no more than 40 seconds. while DarnellS squad claims as much as two minutes may nave been cut from their playing time
 The timekeeper was unaware of the ruling. But regardless of how much or how little time was lost, with such a close score there is no telling which team might have been on top even very few sec onds beyond the point at which the game was called.
 Phillips has sent letters to all concerned, and stated today that for the present the game will stand in the books as having been won by Mikes.

FOOTBALL
 ODDITIES

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 - The whacky weekly results probably should rate as the prize oddities of the regular 1946 football campaign but there were enough screwy hap penings on the field to make even some of the beaten coaches smile,
 The clements had a hand in a couple of unusual occurrences ill the West. The Utah Colorado A. & M game at Fort Collins, Colo, was delayed by a storm. The per icds were cut and the snow cleared trsm the field was piled in the end zones. So when a team reached the 10-yard line, the ball was moved hack to the 20-yard line, the TO- yard line became the goal and the space between the 10 and the regular goal line was the end zone.
 It wasn't showing but it was a blustery cold day when Washington and California hooked up in Pa cific Coast Conference contest Gerry Austin, sWashington's third string quarterback didn't figure he would see any action in an inn pcrtant game like that so he put on an extra set of long under wear to make himseh more com fcrtable on the bench.
 But Washington's first two quar- terbacks got hurt and Austin was sent into the game. He got hot in mere ways than one and reeled If two touchdowns. The extra set of longies was discarded at the end of the half
 Paul Grove, St. Mary halfback, was an awfully mad gent for d while in the California tilt With clear field ahead and enroute to a touchdown an official ran in- to his path and Grove went sprawl ing to the turf
 Grove wasn't as burned up as Stanford on one play in the Wash ington State setto. With Stanford on the offense and arbiter took a position so close to the play that the Indians couldn't shift. By the time the official withdrew and the shift was completed, the play was stepped and Stanford was penalized five yards for taking to much time.
 And then there was Baylor which wculd have liked it's little oddity to have happened to some other team. Baylor won the toss before every conference game they played They lost every eer;e
