There is a theory that the modern college athlete is a blase young man who refuses to .be driven to inspired heights by the "corny" melodramatics of the "pep talk." Yet, somehow, ' an appealing nickname gets them to "put out" on their own. The "Four Horsemen" of No tre Dame are even greater in memory, instead of remembered merely as another fine Irish team, because of the tag which the late Grantland Kice, hung on them. And down at LSU, Paul Dietzel transformed an ordinary defensive unit into a battling band which fought with the feroc- ity of their namesakes by label i ing- them the "Chinese Bandits." 'Athletics Deny Move To Coast WASHINGTON UPD A fi nancial adviser to - Washington Senators owner Calvin Griffith has suggested that another Amer icanLeague club president will try to move his team to the West Coast in 1861. Attorney C. Leo Deorsey, a for mer director of the Washington club and Griffith's adviser, made it clear that he was talking about Arnold Johnson, owner of the Kansas City Athletics. Deorsey made his statement in charging that American League club owners "buckled" under the threat of baseball anti-trust legis lation and blocked Griffith's at tempt to move the Senators to Minneapolis. , Johnson, contacted in New York City, immediately tried to knock down Deorsey's intimation that he wanted to take the Athletics ' to the Pacific Coast. ."I'd have to. pay rent in two stadiums,'' he said. "We've agreed to a renewal c( our lease in Kansas-City through 1S64. I certainly couldn't pay rent for two ballparks. . . "As baseball expands, it will "have to be to large cities like New 'York and Los Angeles which can support two clubs. But I'm not one of them. ' Maybe the designation isn't as pho'.etic or colorful, but Syra cuse is shooting fur the football heights with a massive and mus cular line which has become known as the "Sizeable Seven." They are sizeable, averaging 6 feet, 3 inches and 216 pounds an average dissipated considera bly by one "midget" of a mere Ittl pounds. But t h r o u g h the tackle to tackle middle the weights read like this: 228, 202. 230. 230 and 22G. "It is,'.' says line coach Dick Beyer, "the best line we've ever had at Syracuse and one of the best I've ever seen.'' Beyer is a man accustomed to dealing in beef on the hoof. He does it himself four or five nights a week as a professional "rassler" while trying to earn enough money "to be able to &f ford to teach." If this seems a bit incongru ous, considering that he deals during football hours with col lege students, it must be accept ed that the 230-pound Beyer is a 'good guy on the rassling cir cuit. It wouldn't do to pulverize a mat opponent with foul and dastardly tricks and then attempt to teach undergrads the tenets of fair play and sportsmanship. Can Handle "Babies" So it is that his "babies," fel lows like 228-pound guard Roger i Hound Dog) Davis, can look up to him, and he can handle 6-foot, 4-inch Jack Bemiller. th center who hopes to be a mortician and currently is interring rival ball carriers. w .
