Lawnmower Louie took a spin around the football field
> esterda) and had a look at Tex Oliver's new creation—the
blocking dummy (canvas) that hits back.
Aftei due consideration, Louie gave his stamp of approval—
with two obseivations thrown in free. (1) It certainly elimi
nates the WPA-ish job of standing all afternoon and holding
the bags while your brothers-in-pads sharpen up the old elbow;
(2) If the boys aren’t careful to keep their hands and feet
wheie they belong they will become adactylous.
Louis, as he was known while grabbing off a Phi Beta
Kappa key at the University of Attn, stopped and went over
adactylous slowly. Finally figured out it means “destitute of
fingers and toes.” Louie may have a point there.
THE MEN FROM THE*BOYS
i he sports philosopher who said this is the year they
separate the men from the boys wasn’t kidding-.
Of the 11 lettermen returning to the UCLA campus
for the 1946-47 basketball season, only one—that’s right,
men, ONE is a cinch to get a suit on the varsity 12-man
squad.
Not make the starting five—but just get a- suit. Wilbur
Johns, according to my spies at Point Magoo, will have more
than a dozen high powered laddies at the Westwood layout
who weren t there last season.
Don Barksdale, who trailed Gail Bishop in the 1944-45
national scoring race with 779 points in 37 games and
topped them all last year with 800 points in 32 games, will
be on hand.
And he will be shifted from center to forward to make way
for six-foot eight-inch Wayne Taulbee. last year's pivot man
for the San brancisco Dardis in the American league.
Add to those two Larry Barker, a letterman from Missouri,
Red Spiecher from Bowling Green and George Washington,
a jet-propelled forward from Baltimore, and it isn’t hard to see
_:jrhat the boys mean.
UCLA GUNNING FOR A WINNER
Vic Kell}-, UCLA’s drum-beater has sent out a yarn on the
1946 Bruin football team. Bert LaBrucherie has picked up
quite a number of gridiron-tried warriors to add to his 1945
squad.
Orv Hatcher, ex-California halfback, Tom Fears, 22
pound Santa Clara giant, scatback A1 Hoisch, who played
for LaBrucherie in high school before going to Stanford,
Bill Zuke of North Dakota university, Les Steiner and
Ernie Johnson from St. Mary’s Pre-Flight, Ben Reiges from
Georgetown U., and Jim Riddle of DeMonte Pre-Flight are
just some of the talent that has “dropped” into UCLA for
the 1946 campaign.
Mr. LaBrucherie evidently has definite ideas about winning
next season.
From Washington comes that word that Neil Brooks,
Fred Wedhe, Arnold Weinmaster, a 235-pound end, Sam
Robinson, Gordon Berlin, Fred Provo, Johnny Zeger,
Leonard Larson and Johnny Clark will be on hand for the
opening whistle.
This is indeed the year they separate the men from the boys.
The league looks rough from here.
And Oliver isn’t running those 60-odd men around Hayward
field every afternoon just for the exercise. Don't Jmagine he
has any ambitions of holding up the second division.
While on football, Braven Dyer says the Oregon State
Beavers look like the best in the Northwest. Silly boy.
FOR THE BIRDS . . • Hal Saltzman will probably be
given credit for the first win against Idaho. He only pitched
two innings, but the rules state that if a pitcher is taken out
when he has a commanding and winning lead he may be given
credit for the win even though he didn't pitch the five innings
required.
It will depend on how the Idaho scorer, official in this case,
ruled on the game.
Somebody stole the Stanford ax again—Ho-hum.
