Sauer Given
Most Valuable
Player Award
Rv RALPH RooEN

NEW YORK Up - Hank Sauer,
the rags to riches outfielder of the
Chicago Cubs, today was named
the Most Valuable Player in the
National League for the 1852 by
the Baseball Writers Association Of
America.
The selection of the 33-year-old
Chicago slugger came as sur
prise to many as Sauer Slumped
badly during the last month of the
season following a brilliant start.
Sauer won his circuits highest
honor by a narrow margin over
Robin Roberts, the graceful right
handler of the Philadelphia Phil
lies, and Joe Black, the rookie re-
lief expert of the pennant-winning
Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Chicago star, whose climb to
major league stardom was a tor
tuous path, collected 226 points out
of a possible 1886. Roberts, who won
more games than any other pitch
er, 28, finished second with 211
points. Black, who made Brook
lyn's entry into the World Series
possible, was third with 206.
Sauer, e-foot-4, 2O0-pound bruis-
er ran into terrible slump in
September. He hit only three hon.
ersl drove in seven runs and col
lected 16 hits in rs times at bat.
Despite this poor showing the
Cub cleanup hitter wound up tied
for league home run honors with
Pittsburgh's perennial champion,
Ralph Kiner, at 81 each. He also
led the loop in runs batted in with
I21, the highest of his major league
career, and batted .270.
Three writer's from each major
league city participated in the
balloting. Points were awarded on
il for a first-place vote, nine for
second, eight for third and so on
down the line.
Only other players to poll 100 or
more votes were Hoyt Wilhelm, the
rookie relief specialist Of the New
York Giants, and Stan Musial, the
six-time batting champion Of the
St.Louis Cardinals Wilhelm placed
fourth with 1SS points and the
SIS, ,OOO-a-year Musial fifth, with
127.
Rounding out the top 10 we're,
Enos Slaughter, St,Louis, 90 points;
Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn, 81
points; Pee Wee Reese and Duke
Snider, Brooklyn, 20 points each;
and Roy Campanella, Brooklyn,
and Red Schoendienst, StLouis, rs
points each.

suspension from high school ath-

game official.
Cliff Harper, executive secretary

Sooner Bowl
Appearance
Is Off Again
ev GENE KINNEY

NORMAN, Okla. R-Oklahoma's
brief filtration with post season
football appeared to be a dead
affair today with bowl fever cooled
by the team, university president
and regents chairman.
The formal end to the strange
episode was expected to come to-
day the same way it started--at a
meeting of the board of regents.
The official attitude was that a
New Years Day game, like the
Orange Bowl which had an invita-
ton ready, would be nice.
But not at the price of discip-
linary action by the Big Seven
Conference for violating its ban on
post-season athletics, or severing
ties with the loop altogether.
The 24-hour bowl binge. touched
off by a student demonstration
Tuesday night, reached its climax
yesterday when the decision was
dumped into the players laps.
The Sooners, No. in the AP
/ poll, voted to accept q bowl bid
but only if the Big Seven relaxed
its restrictions, which it refused to
do a week ago.
Players baked at taking action
which would jeopardize, or even
end relations with the conference,
and thus have far-reaching effect
on every school sport.
So Eddie Crowder, the slick
split-T quarterback talking for the
team, executed neat verbal hand
off to the regents, who tossed the
ball in the first place by voting
secretly to permit bowl trip if
DR.. George L. Cross and the team
approved.
With the player decision, how
ever, DR.. CroSs--who set the Big
Seven on its ear Tuesday night in
putting a bowl bid up to the team.
said he saw no need for further
action.
Coach Bud wilkinson hailed the
vote as unselfish and loyal.
We've somehow got to make
the players forget about bowls and
start thinking seriously about Ne.
braska and Oklahoma A. & NJ"
he asserted. "If we don't, we might
lose both games"

Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK tR - The definite
news that Tony Trabert of Gin
cinnati and the U. S. Navy will
make the trip to Australia on his
own time to join our skinny
Davis Cup forces in pursuit of the
international Tennis Trophy chang
es the picture little.
1t doesn't mean that our chances
of defeating the Australians in the
Challenge Round at Adelaide are
materially improved-not so long
as Frank Sedgman and Ken Nc
Gregor remain sound of wind and
limb-but it should make a better
contest of the three-day series and
will make the Aussies much hap
pier.
We can testify that they were
burned by what they considered the
total inadequacy of our original
selections - Vic Seixas, Straight
Clark and the promise of young
Ham Richardson late this month.
Letters from a couple of our
friends out that way were caustic.
''It is a shame you hlokes can't
send out a better team when all
the reserved seats at Adelaide al
ready are sold," wrote a Mel
bournite high in AusSie tennis coun-
cils. "We don't think you can beat
us, but we would at least like
to think YOU were having 90 at
IT,"
They will feel better with the
news that TrabeFt is coming, as
they know him from last winter
as one of the worlds most prom
ising young players. Tony was i'm
mensely popular personally too,
and they will be glad to welcome
him again. The same cannot be
said of every player We have sent
them.
That Trabert viii reach anything
nearing his best form before the
Challenge Round Is doubtful. II
might not even be possible to en-
ploy him in singles in the inter.
zone final at Sydney Dec. 1920,
probably against Italy. But, wheth-
er he's ready or not. Tony should
pair with Seixas both in singles
and doubles in the Challenge Round
Dec. 1881, If only for good viii
purposes.

"HOt Rod" Fans
Organize Here

A new club comprising all hot
rods fans has been formed in the
Key West area and held the first
members last Monday night out on
Stock Island at the Cities Service
Gas Station with approximately as
fans attending.
The new club was formed for
the purpose Of assisting hot rod
fans who need technical advice In
building their own cars.
Jim Donnelly was elected as
president, Stroke Wittstruck, vice.
president, and ]. B. Mershon as
secretary and treasurer. The club
is to be known as Auto Motives.
One of the main interests of the
club is to promote highway safety
and endeavor to reduce the num-
Der Of accidents on the Overseas
Highway. The club is receiving
excellent technical advice from
State Highway Patrolman Jim
Wilder who stated that he would
be glad to assist the members Of
the club and also expressed the
desire of staging . hot rod rodeo
in the Key West area.
II is planned in the future to
attend hot rod meets in Fort
Pierce and later possibly hold
several meets with visiting clubs
here in Key West.
Anyone interested in joining the
club is invited to attend the next
meeting which viii be held on
Monday, II November.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. R-Georgia
Techs Leon Hardeman is In an
unusual spot-second best rusher
in the Southeastern conference.
But if he's turned loose against
weak Florida State, the Tech
rambler could well vault back on
top this weekend.
Bobby Marlow of Alabama took
over the SEC lead last weekend,
ironically by running against the
Engineers while the injured Harde-
man watched in street clothes.
NARROW has gained 72S yards in
i29 carries for a 5.6-yard average.
Hardeman has gained 704 yards
In 126 rushes for the same Sc
mark.
NARROW and Hardeman are far
ahead of the field and unlikely to
be headed. Joe Fortunate of Mis-
SlSSippl State is in third place with
661 yards in 107 carries, but has
only one more regular season ap-
pearance in store--against Missis-
sippi.
Tennessee's Andy Kozar, in
fourth place with $50 yards in 122
rushes, was injured last weekend.
Alabama Lalfback Corky Tharp's
running efforts were blunted by
Georgia Techs mighty defense,
and he lost his long-held lead in
average yards gained per try.
After picking up only as yards
In II attempts against the Engi-
neers, he dropped to a season
showing of SIS yards per carry.
]. (Poppa) Hall of Florida was
propelled to the top by his spirited
performance against Tennessee.
He cracked the Vol wall for 95
yards in II hauls to give aim a
season average of 6.6 yards per
running effort.
Zeke Bratkowski of Georgia
reigned supreme in all Southeast.

UCLA over Southern California:
Paul Cameron is healthy and just

Oklahoma over Nebraska: Bob

Maryland over Alabama: Ala

Maryland's anger over that upset

Notre Dame over Iowa: The
last two meetings of these two RI
walls ended in ties and don't be
surprised If this one doesn't also.
Tulsa over Arkansas: After a
hesitant start, Tulsa now is the
free-wheeling outfit that Septem-
Der seers predicted.
Ohio State over Michigan: There

over Michigan would halt it. II viii

Saturday in near-perfect condition.
The possibility that Southern
California's great tackle, Bob Var
Doren, may not be able to play

''It is quite. doubtful whether he
will be ready by Saturday." sale
DR.. Jacobus. X-rays and brain
wave tests showed no serious in
jury, but the big defensive tackle
has been complaining of headaches
all week.
The battle, with the winner head
ing on to pasadena and the Rose
Bowl engagement with the Big
Ten representative. still shapes up
as an even struggle between pair
of teams unbowed ard united in
eight games apiece.
If either has an advantage, it
is Southern CALIFORNIA; greater
reserve strength.
The UCLA coach, Red Sanders,
while ccnceding nothing to the Tro-
jams, either on offensive or de-
fense, did admit this:
well, they do have more foot
ball players than we do"
An injury in the game to one
of Sanders starters, say halfback
Paul Cameron or blocking back
Lewis williams, or linebacker
Dom Moomaw, would work an
extreme naruSnlp.
