Newhouser
Career Hangs
In Balance
Lakeland, Fla. (U.R) The
baseball career of Hal New
houser, one of the great left
handed pitchers of the past
decade, hung in the balance
Saturday, but the king of the
American league southpaws
wasn't worried at all.
"I'll either make it or I won't,"
he said. "If I find I can't help
the club, that it hurts me too
much to pitch, I'll throw in the
glove as an active player. There
is nothing more pitiful to my
mind than a ball player who
tries to carry on when he doesn't
have it any more."
Newhouser was of little help
to the Detroit Tigers last year
because of a chronic shoulder
ailment. He wound up with a
record of six victories against
six defeats, but, admitting he
had a bad season, insisted, "that
with the breaks it could have
well been nine victories against
three defeats." ,
"I know I'll never be the pitch
er I was, but unless my trouble
kicks up again, I feel I might be
able to win 12 or. 15 games for
the Tigers this year, So far, I've
felt fine and while I still am
not using my full overhand mo
tion, I'm hopeful I'll be able to
pitch about every six days. I'm
only 31, but this is my 13th
season with the Tigers and in a
stretch like that any one is going
to start running out of gas." He
plans on taking it easy until the
season opens.
"I won't know until then
whether I can make it or not,"
he said. "But I feel so good I'm
more optimistic than I have been
since last July."

will seek the NAIB basketball
championship Saturday night, in
a battle with Southwest Missouri
State of Springfield.
The Missourian?, seeded eighth
at the start of the week-long
toughest collegiate basketball
test, in the nation, roared into
the finals Friday night with a
sparkling triumph over previous
ly undefeated Southwest Texas
State of San Marcos, 70 to 67, in
a double overtime contest.
Immediately after Spring
field's success, fourth-seeded
Murray surprised Portland, Ore.,
university, 58-57. The Kentucki
ans staved off a closing rally
by the far westerners, who had
supplied the tournament's No. 1
upset in the quarterfinals, by de
feating defending champion and
top-seeded Hamline of St. Paul.
Murray jumped to a 35-27 half
time lead, held a 45-42 edge
when the final quarter got under
way and Portland, desperate de
spite its rally, never was able
to catch up. .

elimination of spring football
games and out of season basket
ball practices.
Moratorium Imposed ,
On the post-season games the
NCAA had imposed a moratori
um on Its members to prevent
any commitment for games after
next New Year's Day, pending
study by a committee of the
evils of such contests. The ruling
meant that no plans could be
made for a 1953 national basket
ball tournament.
The NCAA and its conferences
had restricted spring football
practice to 20 sessions in 30 days
and out of season basketball
drills to 20 sessions in 24 days.
It will be possible under the
presidents' rules to have out of
season basketball drills starting
November 1, before opening of
the season.. Likewise it will be
possible to have post-season bowl
football games on the first Sat
urday of December, as most
schools finish their season before
that date.
Babe Zaharias
Near New Record
In Golf Tourney
Augusta Ga. (U.R) Mrs. Mil
dred (Babe) Zaharias - clipped
off a smooth, third-round 73
Saturday to soar within easy
tossing distance of a new wom
en's titleholders' tournament rec
ord. The Babe, getting better each
day, copped a 220-stroke for the
13th annual event over the hilly
Augusta Country club course,
leaving her nearest rivals seven
strokes behind.
Mrs. Zaharias can break the
tournament record with a lei
surely 77 today on the final
round of the blue-ribbon classic
for women golfers and the Babe
reported happily that she is
steadily improving.
The record for 72 holes is 298,
set two years ago by the Babe
herself, one of the few profes
sionals who have captured a title
that heretofore had proven to
be a good luck piece for the
amateurs. .
Unless she blows sky high to
day Mrs. Zaharias will become
also a three-time winner. She
won the title as a part of her
sensational winning streak of
1947, and won it again in 1950.
Her nearest competitor was
Louis Suggs, of Carrollton, Ga.,
with 232.
