Rose Bowl Bucks
Rates With Great
Ohio State Teams

Led by red-halred Howard
(Hopalong) Cassidy, an Irish lad
who runs like he was being pur-
sued by banshees, and the power
full Ohio State Buckeyes, a howl
ing mob of football fanatics will
make the trek to Pasadena and the
Rose Bowl for the annual New
Years Day classic.
A colorful picture of how Ohio
State fans virtually turned Column
bus upside down after their heroes
came from behind to defeat Mich
igan. 81 to 7. in the final game of
the season. November 20. is re-
counted in The Sporting News.
Actually, it was a sort of delay
ed reaction. although students
swarmed onto the field to snake
dance and rip the goal posts from
their moorings after the game. But
at 1890 that night. great throng
of yelling and singing students in
cars converged on Broad and High
streets football crossroads of
the world - to vent their enthuSi-
asm. Off-duty policemen were
rushed into the area to keep things
under control until the enthuSi-
asm wore off, early in the morn
ing.
Although most of the seasons
headlines went to Halfback Hopa-
long. who grew up on the Lower
West Side of Columbus hardly
more than a long punt from the
Ohio State campus, he is only one
of a dozen jet engines which car
ried the Buckeyes to the top, The
Sporting News points out.
For instance. there's his run
ming mate. Hubert Bobo, a lad
from the southern Ohio hills who
depends on bull-like power for
yardage as contrasted to Cassa-
dy's speed and deception. And not
to overlook Bobby Watkins, whose
piano-like legs make him one OF
the games most bruising runners.
Other ingredients that went into
the mold of this championship
team were Dave Leggett. the
shrewd and clever quarterback.
and the Salwart Seven of the line
Dick Brubaker and Dean Dug
ger at ends; Dick Hilinski and
Frances Machinsky at tackles; Jim
Parker and Jim Reichenbach at
guards, and first Ken Vargo and
later Bob Thornton at center.
These players and t he other
members of the squad have given
Ohio States one of its greatest
teams of all time. and the West
ern Conferences first undefeated,
united title-holder in seven games
since 1918.
In Ohio State, West Coast fans

noon and baseballs were kept in
play for many innings. In the
shadows, batters found it hard to
see dirty ball. Nowadays, the ball
in play is new, white and easily
seen, and the lights are turned on
to finish games started in daylight.
So, from that standpoint it's i'm
possible to compare Turkeys speed
With-well-Walter Johnson. In
1910, Johnson struck out 3l3 men.
And. says The Sporting News, he
could have piled up better strike
out marks than he did had he been
lust a bit mean. But he wasn't the
type who would throw an occa-
Sional duSter to drive batter back
from the plate. Bob Feller is like
Johnson in that respect. He has
always been careful, too. not to
throw at a mans head. Feller in
1916 struck out 348 men. That
put him within one of the dlsput-
ID mark Of 249 set by Rube Wad-
dell in 1904.
The United States Army once
conducted tests to determine Eel
ler'S speed. The ball speed 145 feet
a second. or 98.6 miles an hour.
1t took just one-third of second
for the ball to reach the catcher's
mitt after he let loose of it. john
son went through a similar test
years ago. but with less accurate
measuring devices. His speed was
measured at 127 feet a second.
There have been other speedball
merchants, like Lefty Gomez,
Smoky Joe Wood, Van Lingle Mum
go, Virgil Trucks and Allie Rey-
nolds. There are old timers who say
that Amos Rusie, who struck out
342 with the Giants in 1891, was
faster than even Feller or john
son. That could be argued from
now on. But there's no argument,
says The Sporting News, as to who
is the fireballer of today, It's Bob
Turley of the Yankees.
The Lincoln times., 1954-12-02
sIHE TIMES nsoInten THURSDAY DECEMBER 1854
Turley Deal To NY Yankees
SpotIights Speeds Appeal

When the New York Yankees
got pitcher Bob Turley from Balti-
more in the recent wholesale trade,
they got the hardest thrower in
the game. He's not the fireballer
that Bob Feller and Walter john
son were in their prime, says The
Sporting News, but he's one of
the glamor boys among pitchers.
To the fans, there nothing more
fascinating than binding speed.
Baseball has had some remark
able performers among pitchers,
such as ChriSty MathewSon, who
was fast, but not extremely SO. He
piled up strikeoutS with his famous
fadeaway. his hook and his curve.
The game has seen scores of curve
ballers, who built up spectacular
records through their battling
qualities. 1t has seen spitball ar
fists, like Big Ed Walsh. and 9TH
ers who had magic in their knuck-
lers, sliders and let-up pitches.
But, says The Sporting News, the
man who catches the Imagination
of the fans is the one with the
fast ball.
That's Turkeys biggest asset.
Now that he's with the Yankees,
he'll be placed in the hands of that
great teacher, Jim Turner, who'll
give him a measure OF fineSSe with
which to make his speed count for
the most.
With Baltimore last year, Turley
appeared in 35 games. for total
of 247 innings. He struck out 185
men, which was tops last year
among major league pitchers. He
did give up 1870 walks, which
somehow discounts his fine strike
out record. but at least he struck
out more than he walked. There
are those who put up his achieve
ments against pitchers of the past,
for comparison. But that, says The
Sporting News. is hardly fair. In
the days of long ago, game were
often started late in the after
