Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH PALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN 1 i 5 4 I ft 5Vv r CLAYTON HANNON SPORTS EDITOR Brooklyn Remembers Disastrous '51 Close By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK tOPf You can't blame the Brooklyn Dodgers for playing two seasons at once but PeeWee Reese insisted today that "barring total collapse" the team won't lose this season as it did in 1951. "That disastrous finish of 1951 is bound to enter your mind from Give-A-Way Rescheduled For Race Fans Klamath Racing Association, dis appointed over the fact of not los ing any of their $1,000 in last week's give-a-way, have resched uled the money event as a special attraction for this Friday night's hardtop racing show. Time trials are set for 7 o'clock and the first race of the evening will open one hour later at 8 o'clock. The admission charge is SI for adults and 50 cents for stu dents. Last Friday evening, Lucile Ben der of Klamath Falls was the lucky ticket holder and made a desperate attempt of sweeping clean the $1, 000 prize, but before she could complete the course, the load became too heavy and she dropped the loot-filled bag. Hardtop officials gucsed Mrs. Bender had over $500 in the cloth sack. The contestant has three minutes in which to stuff the sack with change, then she must walk a straight line back to the finish line without stumbling, falling or dropping the sack. Club president Benny Morrison said this week, "this is Just one way we can show our apprecia tion to the fans who have been helping us with the new track. When the event didn't pay-off last Friday night we decided to give some woman hardtop fan another crack at our money." Besides the lucrative special event, there will be three or four heat races, the final heat if three heats are run, the two trophy dashes, a IS lap B-main and a 25 lap A-main. Last week, Johnny Hitson won the main event and showed for the first time this season flashes of the old Johnny who walked off with last year's high point hon ors. So far this season Hitson has had car troubles, but Friday night's performance added doubts as to the fact K-7 still has troubles. Ail-American Preppers Meet MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UP) Young sters who hope to crash the head lines as future college stars meet here tonight in the seventh annual Ail-American Prep Football game. The battle is expected to feature r pass-loaded West offense against the ground game of the speedy Eastern stars. Sammy Baugh, former college and professional passing star is head coach for the West while Harold (Red) Drew, former Ala bama coach, heads the East coaching staff. The West has yet to win a game in this annual summer classic. Last year the two teams fought to a 6-6 tie, the best showing made by the west yet. Rock Said in Shape GROSSINGEH, N.Y. (UP) Harry Wills, a former boxing great, observed today that heavy weight Rocky Marciano is in wonderful shape for his title de fense against Archie Moore on Sept. 20. But Wills said he thought the champ was "muscle bound in ' the legs and thighs and its prob ably a result of too much road work." time to time, particularly when we hit a slump," the little captain confessed. "It's still hard to rea liie that we blew that one." "That one" was the pennant chase in which the Dodgers bad a 13',i game lead between a double header on Aug. 12 and dropped It ail in a playoff with the miracle Giants. "I've been through a couple of them," Reese grinned wryly as he recalled the 8i game Auglust bulge which the Dodgers blew to 1842 to the Cardinals. "Sometimes, right now, it makes my meals look downright cold and I have trouble eating. PANIC CHATTER "But we'll win two or three in a row and stop all this 'panic' chat ter," he added. "It doesn't seem possible that we could lose this one. Tnts club hasn't let down, the players are hustling, we're getting good pitching and the only thing wrong is that we aren't bitting at the right time." In answer to those who are pre dicting another el foldo for the Dodgers, there are a number of statistics which stand out in cold rebuttal. The most Important is that in 1951, the year of the great col lapse, the Dodgers held only six-game lead over the Giants et this exact stage of the pennant lace. This is predicated on the ex act number of games the Dodgers now have in the book with a 11 game lead. , In a mere two-week span that season, they dropped seven and one-half games of their lead. From then on they rallied to fight right down to the wire. Two weeks ago they held a 1614 game lead. They have dissipated 4! games of that lead. NO TENSION' "But now we should be about ready to snap out of It," Reese explains. "Maybe It's a case of be ing so close to the woods that you can i see the trees, but I honeslty can't feel any tension or see any body being Jittery on this club." There Is another great difference. Back in 1951 the Giants were an inspired, hungry outfit convinced that they were destined to charge on to victory. They were led by a battling little man named Eddie Stanky and were getting yeoman service Irom sucn as Al uarx. Monte Irvin, Larry Jansen and Sal Maglie, The challengers this time arc the Milwaukee Braves. It's a different sort of outfit. They have been ac cused of being "spoiled" and it seems a certainty that they lack soark and aren't "Hungry." witn- out such spurs to goad them on their task is virtually impossioie. It would be, apparently, even for those 1951 Giants considering that the Dodger edge is so much ereater now than It was that sea son. As Reese insists, only "total collapse" could do it this time and such will not be the case.

With one out, Harvey Zernia hit one to the infield and Fracchia raced over to cover first. He fell down as lie made the play and when Umpire Cece Carlucci ruled Zernia safe, Fracchia blew his stack.

The club trainer reported, howev er, that the young righthander had suffered only a severe ease of stomach cramps.
