Rookies Making
Good in Ranks
Of Pro Gridders
By EARL WRIGHT
NEW YORK, Nov. 21 'U The
brilliant play of most of the top
rookie draft choices is one of the
main reasons for the National
Football League's tight division
races. , ;
Highly publicized college stars,
who usually make up the bulk of
the No. 1 choices, sometimes get
their press clippings frayed dur
ing their first pro campaigns. But
Hugh McElhenny of the San Fran
cisco Forty-Nlners, Ollle Matson
of the Chicago Cardinals and Babe
Parilll of the Green Bay Packers
head a list of rookies who have
made good this season.
. McElhenny .leads the league in
touchdowns with eight and ranks
third In the ball carrying race.
His only bad day was against the
New York Giants, who limited
him to four yards. He also is a
good pass Vecelver and has been
lauded by such experienced coach
es as Buck Shaw of the Forty
Niners, George Halas of the Chi
cago Bears and Steve ,Owcn of
the Giants.
Fast Man
Matson, a 200-pound football
and track star from the Unlver-
f sity of San Francisco, probably
is the fastest big man in the
league. He is one of the scoring
3 leaders with 42 points on seven
i touchdowns. His touchdowns rep.
if H resented the victory margin in
? two of the Cardinals' three vie
i " tories.
-I Coach Gene Ronzani as "the best
r rookie quarterback to come into
;3 the league in a long time," ranks,
:& fifth in passing after being sec
i i ond last week. Ironically, he slip
is ped in the rankings although his
' passing, play selection and faking
brought both touchdowns in
:" Green Bay's upset triumph over
New York last Sunday.
. McElhenny, Matson and Parilli
probably have made the biggest
m first year splashes but such top
di aft choices as Bert Rechichar of
., the Cleveland Browns, end Bob
; Carey of the Los Angeles Rams,
Frank Gifford of the Giants and
fullback Ed . Modzelewski of the
'S Stealers also have' made good
. showings,
i Safety Man
I Rechichar, Tennessee's 19 51
I team captain, has done one of the
' 4 best jobs. He has become Cleve-
' I land's safety man, one of the most

Southern California-UCLA Game fo Draw
More Than 100,000 fo Los Angeles Stadium
By JOIIX GKIFFIN
NEW YORK. Nov. 21 (In-Hourby
hour, as excitement mounts in the
city of Los Angeles, Saturday s
Southern California - UCLA battle
looks more and more like football's
game of the year.
That's chiefly because there's
more at stake in this one gridiron
struggle than in any other single
game played this season. To the
winner goes the Pacific Coast Con
ference championship, the role of
host team in the Rose Bowl, and
possibly an unbeaten, united sea

The game will lure the. season's

Dodgers' Black, Byrd of A's
Named Top Rookies for 19 52
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (U'i Joe
Black of the Brooklyn Dodgers
and Harry Byrd of the Philadel
phia Athletics, two giant kid
pitchers with the physique and
determination of mules, were
named the Major League rookies
of the year Friday.
Black, who won 15 games and
saved 15 more while losing only
four as the greatest relief pitch
er in the history of the Dodgers,
gained the National League award
in a breeze. He got la out of tne
24 baseball writers' votes.
But Byrd barely won out in the
American in a close three-way
battle. He received nine votes to
eight for catcher Clint Courtney
of the St. Louis Browns and sev
en for catcher Sammy White of.
the uoston lieu aox.
The only other National League
players to receive votes were re
lief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm of the
Giants with three, and shortstop
Dick Groat and third baseman Ed
Mathews of the Braves with one
apiece.
The Black-Byrd combination on
rookies .completed a resurgence
In major league pitching this sea
son. Hurlers won three of the
four capital awards and just miss
ed out opUhe other.
Pitcher Bobby
f (lie
Athletics nrevlouslv won the A
L. Most Valuable Player Award,
while outfielder Hank Sauer of
the Cubs just barely nosed out
Robin Roberts of the Phillies and
Black in a hot three-way battle
for the N. L. award.
In fact, Black came close to
an unprecedented dual honor of
being named both the Most Val
uable Player and the Rookie of
the Year. There were impressive
statistics to back up his support,
too. For the Dodgers simply could
not have won the pennant' with
out him.
He and Byrd started slowly and
were at their peak down the
stretch. Black set two Dodger
club records for relief hurlers. He
worked in 56 games, lopping the
old mark of 54 set by Les Web
ber in war-time 1943. He finished
41, erasing the mark of 37 set by
the late Hugh Casey in 1947.
' But It was in the month-by-month
breakdown where he show
ed up the best. Manager Charley
Dressen used him very little nt

the war, the Beavers have dom
inated the series.
Oregon is a slight favorite on
the basis of last week's perform
ances. Many seniors will be play

scalpers as much as $50 for a tick.
.el. What's more, the game will be
nationally televised.
The teams rae so evenly paired
that oddsmakers have called it even
money. It's the last game of the
year for UCLA and a victory will
complete a perfect record. But
Southern Cal still must face old
rival Notro Dame next week.
While the PCC settles its title in
one spectacular show, the Big Ten
champion and' Rose Bowl teams
will be decided by three different
games Ohio State-Michigan, Wisconsin-Minnesota,
and Purdue-Indiana.
Michigan and Wisconsin are tied
for the league lead and that means
either can win the title by winning
its game while the other loses. But
oddsmakers foresee both winning,
the start. He didn't work an in
ning in April, in only six games
In May he worked 12 23 innings.
In 12 June appearances he worked
21 Mi innings and in 14 July snow
ups from the bull pen he worked
26lnnlnes..
Then' came, the hot stretch
where the Dodgers finally out dis
tanced the Giants. In 13 August
appearances he worked 36 23 in
nings and in September he tolled
45 23 innings in 11 games. Then
he topped that by staffing three
World Series games when Dres
sen's other throwers weren't ad
equate for the big job against the
Yankees.
Black beat every club at least
once and won in every park.
His overall earned run average
of 2.15 was the best for the
league, but he is not eligible for
that official distinction since he
worked in only 142 Innings.
Byrd also was just another
hand in the Philadelphia pitching
picture at the start. In fact Man
ager Jimmy Dykes of the Ath
letics said in spring training he
thought tne Dig lumoor-iacK from
Darlington, S. C, would have to
go back to the minors for nnottv
er season. But Byrd fooled him.-
After going 0-3 in early season
mop-up jobs, Byrd won his first
two starts and thereafter was a
regular man in the A's pitching
rotation.
He hit the .500 mark on Aug. 7
and wound up with a 15-15 record
for the season. He could easily
have had a 17-13 mark, but for
two tough defeats suffered In the
final week, 10, on a questionable
decision by Umpire Ed Hurley,
and 5-2 In 11 Innings.
Byrd turned in three shutouts
and pitched 16 complete games,
striking out 115 batters and walk
ing only 96.

Michigan by one point and Wis
consin by 13. That would end tne
race in a tie and the Rose Bowl
team would be picked by ballot of
the Big Ten schools on Monday.
In that case, me conierencewouia
have considered these facts: Mich
igan has gone to the bowl twice,
but Wisconsin never has gone. How
ever, Wisconsin already has lost
this season to UCLA.
Minnesota can cop the crown by
winning if Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Purdue all lose. If Minnesota
and Purdue win and Michigan loses,
it will end in a tie.
Oklahoma can win the Big Seven
championship by whipping Nebras
ka, and Duke can win the South
ern Conference title by beating
North Carolina. Both arc heavy
favorites.
Alabama, hopeful of getting an
Orange Bowl bid,, would almost
certainly earn that prize if it can
hand mighty Maryland, upset last
week by Mississippi, Its second
straight loss after 21 wins. Syra
cuse, also an Orange Bowl hopeful,
will try to stay in the running by
beating Fordham. And both Perm
State and Pitt will have their minds
on bowl bids in their traditional
battle.. ,
Neither bowls nor championships

NEW YORK. Nov. 21 tW-What
happened to the lame is debatable
but there can be no doubt Friday
that the halt and the blind voted
baseball's most valuable Dlayer
awards this year.
There was a great deal of amaze
ment when Bobby Shantz was given
the American League accolade over
Allio Reynolds. But anybody who
knows the difference between a
bunt and punt must be completely
flabbergasted at the selection of
Hank Sauer in the National League.
Most of the voters, composed of
three writers from each major
league city, obviously never heard
of a couple of gents named Robin
Roberts and Joe Black. One theory
is that they were nil on vacation
and the ballot was filled In by the
editor ot tne women s page.
Now Sauer l a fine young man
who deserved commendation on
a fine season. He tied Ralph Kl
ner for the home run crown with
37 round trip blows and won the
National League runs-batted-ln
title. But when you talk about Uie
"most valuable" player you're
taking in more territory than
even Texas boasts about.
. One of the consfderatlons, It
would seem, would concern how the
player's team finished because of
his contributions. The Cubs wound
up some 10 games out of the first
division, somewhat attributable to
the fact that Hank in the last month
of the season batted only .213, hit
but three homers and knocked in
only seven runs.
There might be an excuse if

Sauer had slipped in second ahead
of either Black'or Roberts because
of the-closeness ot the voting and
a split In first-place ballots. But
beating them both is as inconceiv
able as pickle-flavored ice cream.
There can be no doubt that with
out Black the Dodgers would not
have won the National League pen
nant. He won 15 games and saved
the same number. On production,
value and payoff how can you beat
him?
Yet three of the voting writers
didn't even mention him on their
ballots, although they ranked the
first 10 and listed 10 more for' hon
orable mention I
: Look, too, at Roberts' record.
He won !8 games for. the Phils,
the first National League pitcher
to notch that total in 11 years.
The last such performance wan
by Diuy Dean of the Cardinals
in 19S5. And in the last halt ot
the season, big Kobln won IB
games while losing only two
and in those two the Phillies were
shut out at the plate. . Thanks to
him the Phils finished in the first
division. .
: Yet one voter - didn't put him
among the first 10!
There could be no argument
whether Black or Roberts got the
award. But giving It to Sauer for
batting production with, a team
that wasn't In the race after the
season opened makes the award
worth about a wagonload of Ko
rean "wan." or rive cents U. S
You want proof? Ask any base-
Dan manager even Phil Cavar-
retta of the Cubs if Roberts, Black
and Sauer were put on the block
which two he'd buy first. I don't
know whether it would be Roberts
or Black first, but I do know It
would be Sauer third.
