result. it thrives only in areas
free of frost the year-round. The
coffee plant also likes to grow
on ground at high attitudes
something that is hard to find in
a frost-free area.
Puerto Rico and Hawaii are
the only lands under the Amer
lean flag to produce coffee. But
their output is so small in COM
parison with American consump-
ton that it amounts to little
more than the last drop.
Coffee production is so foreign
to the United States that the
Agriculture Department has lit
tie to do with it. Even the Bu-
reau of Human Nutrition and
Home Economics scornS the brew
because it contains no food value
and therefore can't be considered
part of human nutrition.
Synthetic Coffee?
Chairman Aiken of the Senate
Agriculture Committee has re-
ceived a number of suggestions
for making synthetic coffee. One
came from a New Jersey citizen
who said he had concocted a
chemical formula that will re-
place coffee.

NavyBack Is Shifted To End

: ANNAPOLIS, Md. Up - History
may be repeating itself at the
Naval Academy this year where q
sophomore quarterback converted
to end has fought his way into the
starting football lineup.
He is william Earle (BilD Smith
of Mobile, Ala, who took over the
No. right-terminal spot this week
from junior Jim. Owen. Coach Ed
die Erdelatz promoted him after
sparkling performances in the Will
liam and Mary and Dartmouth
games and tabled him a definite
starter against Stanford Saturday.
Smith, big and fast at s feet I
and 1S5 pounds, is the only sopho.
more to crack the first two teams.
Followers of Navy football already
see In his story q striking parallel
to that of Dick Duden,. who made
AIl-America at Navy in 1945 after
he was moved to end from blocking
back.
It was at the suggestion Of Du.
den, now an assistant coach al
Navy, that Erdelatz several weeks
ago switched Smith from quarter.
back where the talent was already
deep.
'He was too good q player te
keep on the bench, so we made the
SWITCH" Erdelatz said. "It's work,
ing out fine"
The Navy head coach calls Smith
a natural ball player and the 20
year-old Alabaman, who was q
high school All-American at Univer
sity Military School, probably
came by his football instincts nat.
urally.
His father, Earle Sr., was a star
end and fullback for Wallace Wade
at Alabama from 1925 through 1926
and played on Wade's first Rose
Bowl team. The elder Smith joined
his son in. workouts at Mo-

Sacrifice Flv
Rule Aided
Major rLeaguers

NEW YORK, B-Seven major
league players, headed by Brook
lyn's Gil Hodges, have the sacri-
flee fly to thank for their 300 or
better batting averages in 1854.
Figures compiled by the Associa-
ted Press reveal that Hodges
wound up the season with 10 sacri-
flee flies-most in the majors. The
Dodgers first baseman batted
.S04. Counting the sacrifice flies
as times at bat, as was done in
1858, his average would have been
.294.
The others to hit 300 or better
because of the rule change were
Sid Gordon of the Pirates, who hit
.305 instead Of .29S; Andy Carey of
the Yankees, .301 instead of .2s7;
Bill Sarni of the Cards and AL
Rosen of the Indians, both 800 in
stead of .294 and Mickey Mantle of
the Yankees and Jim Finigan of
the AS, both 800 instead of .29s.
The rule, adopted at the start
of the season, nullifies a time at
bat for a batter who scores rum
ner from third base on a fair fly
ball.
Included in the playing rules
from 1903 until 1881, the sacrifice
fly was abolished after the rule
had been changed in 1925 to give
credit anytime runner advanced
a base on a fly ball. The original
rule was restored in 1889, but
dropped again after one year.
Players in both major leagues
produced 77S sacrifice flies and as
a result, the total batting average
increased "a points. The teams
accumulated an overall .2609 bat
ting average. II 1.-THE sacrifice fly
was not in effect, the clubs would
have only .25S5 mark.
Despite the general increase OF
batting averages, the number of
300 hitters as compared to 1853
remained the same. A year ago 2s
regulars hit 800 or over in both
leagues, without the benefit of the
sacrifice fly. The 1854 season also
listed 2S players in the 300 class.

Of the nine players-excepting

that stretches down through the

in trade for players who did 20
