Baseball Aims 10 Stop
Gambling on Awards
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Presi-
dent Ford Frick of the National
Baseball League today proposed a
change in selecting the most val
liable big league players of the
year to discourage gambling on
the annual poll. His statement
followed disclosures of an appar-
ent big betting coup engineered
in New Jersey at the expense of
New York gamblers, costing the
latter individual sums ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 and total
ing a half billion dollars.
Frick suggested the vote be
taken Immediately after the close
of the season and that the result
be announced Immediately. He
said that to delay the announce
ment invited betting. The players
are selected by "a members of the
Baseball Writer'S Association,
three voting in each city. who this
year selected Ted Williams of the
American League and Jackie Rob-
inson of the National. The plan
has been in effect since 1881.
New York bookies claimed ad-
vance notice of Williams choice
had leaked to the brethren across
the river and that the Jersey fra
ternity took full advantage of the
situation. Ken Smith, secretary
of the writer's association, said
the votes were tabulated Noven-
ber II and that he made no deep
secret of it." giving the winners

The Maryland Missouri clash
January 2 in Jacksonville's Gator
Bowl looms as one of the best of
the postseason football battles on
January 2. With these two strong
split-T elevens tangling, the Gator
Bowl Committee will have to bow
to few for the attractiveness of its
program.
Missouri's acceptance of the
place opposite Maryland completes
the major bowl lineup and takes
to Jacksonville the inventor of the
split-T in Coach Don Faurot of
Missouri and one of his prize
pupils in Coach Jim Tatum OF
Maryland.
Both teams expect to benefit by
approximately $45,000 from the
game. The Gator Bowl was en-
larged last year to seat about
40,000 and with these two top ex-
ponents of the varied and intricate
split-T tangling should be a SELL
out.

fact that the seniors on our
squad all had the opportunity
to perform for the final time In
the Notre Dame Stadium and
they certainly left all OF our
fans with the thought that they
are one of the finest groups
ever privileged to represent
Notre Dame. Next Saturday
against Southern Methodist
will prove just how great they
really are.
Another thing that pleased us
was that once again stardom
was spread over all of the men,
bers of our team rather than
centering on one man. I don't
feel that the latter is bad, but
certainly the former situation
leads to a much happier group
of individuals. Both offensive
and defensive honors were
shared by all who participated
and that is as it should be.
Also pleasing is the fact that
none of the participants Of
either team was injured.
Coaching Bouquets.
Sharing a definite underdog
role on Friday night and a
hero's role on Saturday after

for teams are likely to play their
best ball with such an incen-
tive. Coaches Meyer and En-
right proved the old adage that
experience is an important fac
tor in their work. On paper
their teams were given little
consideration, but the game was
not played on paper.
A tip of the hat is in order
for Bud Wilkinson of Okla
homa and Jess Neeley of Rice.
Through long, hard schedules
these men coached their teams
to the championship in their
respective conferences and sub
sequently bowl bids. Saturdays
traditional games saw both
these teams displaying their
true championship form as Ok
lahoma defeated neighboring
Oklahoma A. and M, while Rice
subdued arch-rival Baylor.

completely dominated play in
the first quarter until a fourth
down pass fell incomplete. This
situation allowed Notre Dame
to capitalize on being in Trojan
territory and three plays later
the initial touchdown was
scored.
AS expected. the Trojans
forced us to install new plays
in order to keep our attack
functioning. The switch OF
Leon Hart to fullback for a
few plays proved worthwhile, as
while the opponents were at
tempting to stop him, Quarter
back Williams then faxed to
him and gave the ball to Emil
Sitko, who scored untouched. A
similar play allowed Larry
Coutre to register IL yards a
little later in the game.
Trojan Passing Strong.
In an effort to completely
exploit the forward passing
talents of Jim Powers and Dean
Schneider, Coach jeff Cravath
had devised a short kick for
nation from which his sharp
shooters took aim, rather than
their usual T formation stance.
Although it gave little decep-
ton to the play, the protection
for the passer was excellent.
and the 16 completed passes
did much to keep Trojan hopes
alive. Many other important
passes were dropped, which
may well be attributed to the
frigid weather conditions that
were prevalent Saturday.
Saturdays victory meant a
great deal to us for many rea-
sons. Most important was the
