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

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

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.
