This Being Bat Boy Isn't So BadFigures Good CLEVELAND, Oct. 21 M for a bat boy, Billy Sheridan made himself a fair bundle of cash. Billy worked for the world champion Cleveland Indians this season and figures his earnings came to nearly $3,000. He collected something- like $1,693 as his World Series slice, a $1,000 check from President Bill Veeck, and the rest came in tips from the players. So they're calling 16-year-old Billy "old moneybags" In his neighborhood. His regret: the Indians, according to custom, will get a new bat boy next year.

"Frlti" Crlsler, Michigan's athletic director and Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, Michigan Big Nine representative, agreed that It would be a "breach of faith" to alter the rule which Prohibits a Big Nine team from rolng to Pasadena more than nee In three years. Some sentiment in favor or a hange sprang up when Michl an defeated Northwestern last Saturday, 28 to 0. and thus be came favored to repeat as Big Nine champion.

Fireman Casey Joins Cbllegue as Pirate 'Rally-Stopper' in '49 PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21 JP PULLMAN, Wash., Oct. 21 The "lineman of the week" . wants to be a fullback. Laurie Nieml, 240-pound tackle for Washington State College, was thrilled to be named the country's top line man for the week In an Asso ciated Press football poll. But It would be a greater thrill for him to make a touch down, "That's been my. ambition," he said. "In college and all through high school I wanted to play In the backfleld." You'd never think he was dis satisfied with his Job If you had watched him Saturday rearing up out of the line like a freight elevator to bat down University of Washington backs. Ton wouldn't expect discon tent In a lad described by Coach Phil Sarboe as "the inspiration and sparkplug of our team." Tou might think the Cougars' top candidate for All-America honors would Just want to con centrate on being a bigger and better tackle. But Nieml wants to make a touchdown. . He tried out for the backfleld once at Clarkston, Wash., high school, which also produced Turk Edwards, the Cougars' All-America tackle. "But I was too. big and clumsy," Nieml said. He played in the line In high school. This makes his fourth year aa a varsity lineman at Washington State. What does It take to make a lineman stand out In a football game? "Mostly hard work," said N'lemi. Is It hard to get going against a team which (like Washington last week) Is favored to win? "It's always easy when you get the feel of a tough game." Nieml said. "Vou have to get the feel of It first, though." Sarboe said Nieml has been playing great football game af ter game for four seasons. "He thinks something Is wrong If he just stops the run ner at the line of scrimmage," the coach said. "He wonders what Is wrong If we don't run most of our plays on his side of the line. He always want to block kicks or throw the run ners back for a big loss. He Isn't satisfied just to play good foot, ball." He isn't entirely satisfied, either, to play great football In the line. "Against Montana," Nieml said, "the coach said I could go In and try to make a touchdown If we scored 50 points." . The Cougars only made 46 points, and Nieml missed that chance. He hopes there will be an other opportunity before he leaves W.S.C. to look over any professional offers he might get. If he never gets a chance to carry the ball his only scoring opportunltly will be In the rug ged department of blocked kicks and recovered fumbles.

' Specialization Bothers Writer, So He Says . . . ' Why Doesn't Van Brocklin Play Fullback? By BILL JOHNSTON SPOKANE, Oct. 21 () Ever since the specialization craze hit college football the fans have been wondering what ever hap pened to the all-around player. It's hard to pick out a man who can run, pass, kick, block and tackle on the modern team. If the trend continues, the pro gram issued to guide the football fan of the future may read some thing like this: . "Gurkowitz, Sam age 20, weight 245 pounds if his team starts on offense against a T formatlon and 10 pounds lighter it he starts at defense against a single win and gets a real work out. Specialty, nailing left-handed passers fading to the right on a muddy field." And where, laments the fan, is that old-fashioned, all around boy? Minus yardage Two case histories suggest that he might still be out there on the field unable to show his all around ability unless something goes wrong in the department of specialization. Take Norm VanBrocklin of Oregon, for instance. We dont mean to imply that the VanBrocklin light has been smothered. The All-Coast quart erback is getting so famous that even the sports writers back East recognize the name. But his fame rests on his pass ing arm and there are those who point out that his yardage gained in running is listed in the minus column. Oreeon supporters will tell you (or at least they did us) that Coach Jim Aiken planned it that PMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE FOR ALL MAKES ALL MODELS Motor Tune-Up Motor Rebuilding Hydromatic Service Complete Lubrication Bear Frame & Wheel Aligning Body & Fender Painting Complete Brake Service Upholstering gjOMER "ISFACTiftM in. . ivii rKANTEED SERVICE IS OUR BUSINESS NOT A SIDE LINE .Cascade Motor Co. Phone 8170 way. He figures he has the best passer and best ball-handler on the coast and doesn't intend to send VanBrocklin out in the open on end runs so rival halfbacks can get a good crack at him. Why Not at Fullback? As a result, VanBrocklin's running ability is hidden. He lets less talented arms do most of the tackling. He seldom throws a block. He just hands off the ball, fakes and passes. This proved disturbing to some of the fans who remembered him in his California high school days. They recalled he was a star line backer. Why, they demanded, wasn't he in there at fullback? Or consider the case of Bill Lippincott, the 1945 triple threat star of the Washington State Cougars. Lippincott was all over the field doing a little of everything three years ago. Gradually Coach Phil Sarboe found players who could do some of the things a lit tle better. None f them, how ever, could kick extra points like Lippincott so Bill became a spe cialist. He has been out of the limelight this year, but his services have been valuable. Actually Scores In the Cougars' homecoming victory over Washington Lippin cott and Bob George were co-captains. Neither of them started the game. Lippincott got in for two plays and scored four points one on an extra point conversion and three on a field goal. Against Montana, Lippincott played a little longer. As a re sult, he was able to intercept a pass and gallop some 70 yards for a touchdown. His other six points, though, came on booting six placements out ot seven attempts. So don't conclude that the boy who gets in for just three plays is a jewel for pass defense but otherwise just a diamond in the rough. He may have full-carat Qual ity all the way through, but may be just one side is polished.
