Thursday, October 21, 1951 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Orejon SECTION IV Pb 3 Hal Wood Huskies By HAL WOOD I'nilrd Prru Sporu Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UP It's sjThe Trojans are just starting to lone haul to the Rose Bowl but i from the present records it would appear that the team that repre sents the West won't have any bet ter an average than I do when the pieces are picked up next month. Last week won 18, lost 4 for very respectable .818 average. But did you ever stop to think that the Southern California Tro jans, leading candidate for the Rose Bowl, have only a 4-1 rec ord or 1800. This week's walletliners: UCLA over Oregon State: Don't look for any 72-0 score, but those Bruins are capable of walloping the daylights out of any club in the league, including L'SC. On top of thai, the second and third teams appear lo work just as effectively Campy's 1955 Play in Doubt NEW YORK in Whether an able-bodied Roy Campanella will be behind the plate for the Brook yn Dodgers next season won't be known for another four or six six weeks at least. It will be that long before doc tors can test the results of the second operation in six months on the veteran catcher's left hand. After the four-hour operation yesterday, it was announced there was an "excellent chance" but no out-and-out guarantee Campy's hand would return to normal. Dr. Samuel Schenkman, a neuro surgeon who performed the oper ation, and Dr. Lyndon Hill, who assisted, offered this appraisal but added: "No more will be known for from four to six weeks, when further tests will be made." The' first operation, in May, re moved a bone chip. The surgery sidelined Campanella for four weeks and left the hand partially paralyzed. Electro - impulse tests showed the paralysis was caused by ad hesions on the ulnar nerve. Injured Cougar Guard Improviug PULLMAN, Wash. (f Coach Al Kircher ran the Washington State Cougars through offensive drill before Saturday's game here with Idaho. Junior guard Doug Leifeste, who was injured against USC early in the season, was in uniform and Kircher said he probably will play against the Vandals Satur day. HUSKIES DRILL HARD ' ' v SEATTLE, Wash. (UP) The University of Washington Huskies went through a full-game scrim mage yesterday as a test for Sat urday's game against the Stanford Indians. Only 2 Smiths Are League By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AV-Edward Mayo Smith, the new manager of the Philadelphia Phils, is going to be a mighty ionesomc man if he ever decides to throw a Smith family reunion among his major league comrades.

They don't Uiink they will when they go into it. They, are over stimulated at the time with the thought of doing something for their home community and. at the same time, being intimately asso ciated with a glamorous new world which they have known all their lives only from a distance. A few fortunate ones, such as Del Webb and Dan Topping, who bought the rich Yankee empire at a distress sale for perhaps a quar ter of its real value, never have cause to regret their action. They only make more money. But they are the rare exception, and the trail is strewn with wealthy en thusiasts who were 'slricken by a deficit. All of which might help explain why a shocked silence has reigned over the American League the past two days, since it was announced eight wealthy Philadelphians had purchased the Athletics and saved !'lem trom bein8 transported bod- A sort of numbness seems to have set in on the other club pres idents and spokesmen. They, along with League President Will Har ridge, say they want to get all the facts before they comment. Their reaction, roughly, is that of a group of men who have seen a colleague apparently saved from drowning and then kicked back in to the water. A club executive, who declined to be quoted, said this: "I have no doubt they are all line fellows. Not one of them, though, knows a thing in the world about running a big league club. Even with the best of luck, I don't see how the Athletics can help losing money for another three or four years.- If the deal is ap proved, will these men be willing to plow in' more money for that length of time? I'm afraid that I doubt it." Fcrrantc Returns to Trojan Lineup Today LOS ANGELES (UP) South ern California's football lineup was bolstered today by Orlando Ferrante, who had been idled for nearly five weeks with a broken ankle bune. Ferrante worked out yesterday and SO Coach Jess Hill said the powerful lineup would see a lot of action, although he is not slat ed to start against California Sat urday, Out for Giving after Tavlor admitted giving play ers drugs "to pep them up" for key games. Cloyce, 45, one of the most suc cessful basketball coaches in Ohio, resigned his post Wednesday when the school board gave him a choice of resigning or being fired. Taylor admitted giving dexer Hrine sulohate. an energy-giving drug, to some of his players dur ing the last several years, didnt see anything wrong in it," said Taylor who claimed ne naa consulted four doctors before ad , ministering the pills. Dexcrdrine sulphate was said to be dangerous only in the fact that extensive rest was required after using up live extra energy it gen erated. The board denied Taylor's charge of railroading contending it I would not under any circumstances tolerate giving drugs to Ashland players. Taylor came to Ashland in 1945 and since then has compiled a class A record of 157 wins and only 33 losses. His resignation does not affect his position as mathematics teach- i er at the school.
