Best Football
Teams May Not
AppearOnW

KANSAS CITY R-The college
football teams that attracted the
greatest television audiences last
season may not appear on the net
works next fall if the program pro-
posed by the 1858 National Cellegi-
ate Athletic Association Television
Committee is carried to the limit.
The new plan, released yester-
day, has been sent to the NCAA
member colleges for approval. It
viii 90 into effect when it gets a
two-thirds majority by a mail vote.
With few exceptions, ii is much
the same as the ne-game-a-week
teleyision program of 1852.
In drawing up the conditions,
the committee specified that Gin
the selection Of games, preference
will be given to colleges which did
not participate in network tele-
casting in 1852"
That would seem to rule out
such top-flight teams as Notre
Dame, Oklahoma, Michigan State,
Alabama, Princeton and Southern
California along with the others
which were part of the 11-game
TV program last fsl.
The sponsors, however, have the
last word about what games they
want to show--subject to the COM
mittee's approval ard the prin.
ciples laid down--and it is hard to
imagine a sponsor passing up the
Notre Dame-Oklahoma game for
a lesser attraction on the same
day.
The principal difference between
the 1858 plan and the one followed
in 1852 is that The new one calls
for a panorama experiment" on
two or three dates. Instead of tele-
vising one game in its entirety,
parts of four games at widely sep
arated geographical locations
would be shown. Probably one
quarter of each game would be
aired.
Another change is that at least
one of the 10 or II complete games
teleyised must originate in each
of the eight NCAA districts. Lack
of facilities made il impossible to

Dresser knows his hurting has
been spotty, but he attributed it to
q lack Of action on the elbowmen'S
parts-not a shortage of men.
Bob Millikin, Glen Labine and
Joe Black all have been suffering
from a lack of work, and Dresser
Is convinced that once they can
get into action more, he'll have
the pitchers going smoothly.
"Pve got to work Black more"

or else his control goes bad and

sour pitchers aren't walking
many but they are still making
those bad pitches. Like Russ Mey-
er, for instance. He hasn't really
been wild, but every so often he
grooves one and that's been his
trouble. I guess ! shouldn't kick,
though. The pitching's been better
than last year so far"
On the subject of bad pitches,
Preacher Roe tossed a home run
BAN last night, but it came in the
ninth inning with the Brooks five
runs ahead, 50 they beat the Red
legs, ST.. Ted KIuszewski hit it.
Dresser still hasn't made a def
mite decision on bis regular lineup,
and for the moment he is going to
alternate George Shuba and Dick
Williams in left field. If that
doesn't work out, Jackie Robinson

into second but missed him. He
then threw to Jenis at first TO retire
Pizzitola for the second out, but
Myers, realizing that the force play
was no longer in effect as the man
going to first had been erased, lodged
up and down the base path long
enough to let Zinn, who was on sec
ond when the play started, cross the
plate before Myers was tagged out.
This constituted what is known as
time play and although the play
resulted in a delayed double play,
the run scored.
Portsmouth tied it up again in the
fifth Peete, the first man up, walked
and North sacrificed him to second.
He moved to third while Williams
was being thrown out at first and
scored on Della Rocca's double to
left. Lenthe then got Ankrum on
fly to center.
Although the first two men up for
Portsmouth in the sixth, Wheeler and
Guettler, singled and were sacrificed
! to second and third respectively by
Jenis, Ed Lenthe bore down and got
out of the inning without run. He
got Neighbors, the next man up, to
ground to Damiano at short, who
threw Wheeler out at the plate for
the second out, and got Peete on an
other grounder, this time to Jimmy
linn, to retire the side.
HagerstoWn won the game in the
eighth when they scored their third
and final run. With one away,

grounder through the box, but Jim

base bag, made one-handed grab at
the ball and whipped it over to My

lost control and walked Peete and

again and got Williams on a pop-up

not ready and he was taken out in
the fifth and was relieved by Jack
Larson. Ted Laguna was behind the
plate.
Ted Laguna got double to left

The Braves second hit came in the
third when, with two out, Damiano
singled to left and stole second But

side.
York made it 20 in the third. With
one away, Snyder doubled to center.
Horton then walked Malina and
Lindquist, loading the bases. Arroyo
was up next and he grounded be-
tween the pitchers mound and first
base and on beautiful pickup and
throw by Bob Myers, Snyder was
out at the plate, leaving the bases
loaded. Buck, the next batter,
singled to left, scoring Malina and
Lindquist, but Durham ended the
rally when he grounded out to My

The White Roses batted around in
the fifth and scored three more runs
to make the score 5 to O. Snyder,
the first man up, beat out hit to
short and he went to second when
Damiano made bad throw to first.
Malina sacrificed him to third. Lind
quist was up next and he flied to
Guyton in short right for the second
out. Snyder tagged up after the
catch and headed for the plate. He
would have been an easy out at
home, but Guyton's peg hit the dirt
just in front of the plate and bounc-
ed high over Laguna's head. Horton
then walked Arroyo and Buck.
Durham was up next and he got an
infeld hit, filling the bases. Mccain
also walked, forcing Arroyo across
the plate with the second run of the
inning. At that point Jack Larson
went to the mound and he walked
