Alumni Outcry
Forces Cravath
To Quit at SC
Resignation Ends Nine-Year Career
By Bob Myers
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2(M;P)-The nine-year-old coaching regime
of Jeff Cravath sank at the University of Southern California today,
torpedoed by powerful "win or else" alumni sharpshooters.
Cravath abandoned the stricken ship, effective Jan. 1, climaxing
an anti-Cravath, old grad offensive that mounted with Intensity as the
Trojan grid fortunes wallowed and pitched during the past season.

They Definitely Want Lou Novikoff
The Senators' guiding hands definitely are after Lou (Mad
Bassian) Novikoff for two reasons. The rolly-polly outfielder with
the noon face Is weU liked here on the strength of the wit and
ability he exhibited as opposition last summer. And he can still
whack a baseball a l"r piece. The directors feel that the addition
- of someone who can sock a potful of home runs Is money In the
bank. And since the Waters field left and center field fences are
to be moved in considerably (this Is now definite), a gent of
Novikoffs batting hue can't help but fill his pockets with HR's.
Also, should Bob Cherry return next season he's sure to find the
transplanted barriers much to his liking.
The fences when moved will be 330 feet down the left field line
from home plate, 350 feet in left-center and 370 feet in dead center.
Cravath, one of the greatest
linemen in Trojan history and the
only alumnus ever to occupy the
head coaching position, took over
at USC in 1942.
He guided USC to four Pacific
Coast conference championships
and into four Rose bowl games.
He won the first two but lost the
last pair, to Alabama and Michigan.

But Rep. Durham (D-KC) thought the array of volunteer riflemen
might be chaotic, and tha house apparently agreed.
