College Coaches
Rap Pro Baseball
FORT WORTH Tex. March 31.
—UP—Five of the nation's top col­
lege baseball coaches took pot
shots at organized baseball's "raid­
ing" methods Monday amid indica­
tions a "college contract" plan
might come out of the coaches'
meet in June.
The five coaches—John Kobs of
Michigan State Otto Vogel of Io -i
wa Hi Simmons of Missouri Mar­
ty Karow of Ohio State and Paul
Amen of Army funneled their
thoughts through the public rela­
tions department of the American
Association of College Baseball
Coaches here. j?
Recent statements attributed to
spokesman in organized baseball
questioning the quality of coach­
ing and the lack of interest on
college baseball brought on the
outbursts.
Amen Predicts
It was Amen who said that the
"Cracker Brown proposal" which
concerns the signing of a contract
between the player his parents
and a member of the faculty of
the affected college would be sure
to come in for a large share of
attention at the meeting in Omaha
during the college baseball world
series.
Under the proposal authored by
Brown a college coach in Louis­
iana the faculty signer would
serve as the player's agent for a
period of from five to six years
Vogel who is president of the
association said:
"Can organized baseball deny
that the college campus isn't its
prime source of well coached and
finished players? ... if organized
baseball is trying to impress the
American public that it is the great
benefactor of American youth then
why has it constantly dodged any
meeting with the association's exe­
cutive board to work out a con­
structive program?"
Kobs Has a Say
Kobs who is a member of the
board wanted to know what pro­
fessional baseball ever has done
to help promote college baseball.

1st MP's Boast Seven
Sophies Gained In Year
Hood World Series in four straight
contests. Vic Fassero Lou Lepidi
Ron Tschannan Mayo Goldman
Ralph Pownall Joe Bertling and
Joe Providence were the Police­
men on the team.
In football the Policemen team­
ed with the 16th AEB 81st Recon.
141st Sig. Co. and Hq. and Hq.
Co. 1st Armd. Div. to win eight
straight games and the post title.
MP's John Lane and Dan McLeod
not only played on the champion­
ship team but were voted berths
on the all-star team. Wayne Hoi-
"Is the raiding of college camp­
uses and the signing of
every boy who shows promise a
sound business?" Kobs asked.
"What defense has organized ball
to charges by boys themselves
that they receive no coaching and
little if any attention in these
minor league farm?"
Simmons' slant was on the poser
of whether "there is any denying
that the farm system isn't
producing the desired results in
finished players in proportion
the amount charged against the
cost of developing?"
A Cry for "Help"
He went on to ask if organized
baseball didn't feel it could "take
a quantity of this 'throw-away mon­
ey' and devise a constructive pro
gram to helping college baseball
rather than pursue the destructive
and crippling policy" in effect Mon­
day.
Ohio State's Karow summed it
up this way:
"Organized baseball takes all
and gives nothing then criticizes
colleges because they don't do
more for baseball."
North Fort Hood
Softball Games
Proving Popular
(NFH PIO)—Softball at North
Fort Hood has really gotten into
the swing. Every night except
weekends there are two scheduled
league games and often an addi­
tional make-up intra company
game.
The companies turn out 100%
to play or cheer. Despite the rough
training going on all day the play­
ers and spectators have plenty of
energy to expend.
So far all the training compa­
nies have engaged in at least one
league game. There are 15 teams
with seven in the American league
and eight in the National. When
a round robin of play has been
completed in each league a tour­
nament will be staged among the
leaders for the North Fort Cham­
pionship.
In the meantime Special Serv­
ices who are providing umpires
have reported that enthusiasm is
running high.
Automatic Batting
Gadgets Installed
If a Fort hood soldier wants to
play baseball this summer he
won't have to wait for his buddies
to form a team—A baseball batting
court with four pitching machines
now being installed will enable any
soldier to keep up with his batting
and catching practices on his own.
The four machines being install­
ed on an open court opposite the
162nd Street Service Club pitch
ten balls for twenty-five cents.
