* GRAYSON'S SCOmOAKD *
College Football Starts;
No Monopoly on Talent
»Y HARRY GRAYSON . j
NEA Sport. ESNsr
New York (NFA) — Despite
the rapid growth of profession-
al football and its early open-
ing, the start of the college
season provides the biggest
kick to the most people.
The college season will al-
ways be exciting from the time
youngsters start bumping heads
in training, Sept. 1, until the
New Year's Day Bowl games
are played.
This delights the pros even
more than the Old Grads, for
the one type of game comple-
ments the other and the camp-
uses give the money men a
plentiful source of material.
Out of all the facets of col-
lege football in more recent
years—the modern T with man-
in-motion the split T, varying
defenses and whatnot — the
moat important is the greater
spread of superior talent.
With the increased interest,
more kids play to such an ex-
tent that football seriously chal-
lenges, if it has not already re-
placed, baseball as America’s
national game. Through clinics
and hard work, the coaching has
improved with the athletes.
The result is the end of the
old' dynasties, such as those es-
tablished by Knute Rockne at
Notre Dame, Bob Neyland at
Tennessee and Bernie Bierman
at Minneosota. Sure, Oklahoma
has gone throungh 71 Big Eight
games without defeat, but out
of their own league the Soon-
ers have been checked here and
thr. As formidable as Bud
Wilkinson’s stalwarts have been
for 11 campaigns, their High
estate is largely due to the com-
pany they have kept.
It used to be that name col-
lege teams opened with a
breather and had an oasis or
two later where they could
catch their breath and doctor
wounds, but no longer. The
bulk of the outfits now start
the campaign at a cyclonic pace
with every outing a game of
attrition.
Over the long haul the two
fastest circuits in the country
are the Big Ten and the South-
eastern. Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio
State and Purdue are listed as
the foremost clubs in the West-
ern Conference, but who is so
bold as to throw out Northwes-
tern and Michigan State? And
while no one is picking Indiana,
the Hoosiers, with a break here
or there, possibly could take it
all.

Chicago’s eager White Sox,

American League pennant in

game series and triumphantly

year ahead of schedule.
LSU holds over 33 outstand-
ing players including Billy Can-
non, the sprinting blacksmith,
yet the Tigers could bump in-
to serious trouble against Rice
and Texas Christian of the
Southwest Conference two
weeks before they get into com-
petition in their own circuit.
Jess Neely has a staunch line
at Rice and TCU is well equip-
ped. And it’s tough for a col-
lege squad to maintain an un-
beaten skein.
Auburn is expected to come
back to the field to some ex-
•500 ,tent.
| But the point here is that if
I you think that the Balimore
Colts are frightening now, wait
till a few more college classes
are graduated into the National
League. And in years to come
the pro clubs hardly can help
becoming two-way teams of
Golems.
In the end, football may solve
the age-old problem of what
happens when , an irresistible
force meets an immovable
body.

Carmen Basilio
Wants to Fight
Fullmer Again
San Francisco, Aug. 31 (gt —
Carmen Basilio wants another
crack at Gene Fullmer and the
NBA middleweight title.
The rugged 82-year-old, ex-
onion fanner from Critenango,
N. Y., says reports he was ready
to hang up his gloves were hog-
wash.
Fullmer stopped Basilio Fri-
day night at San Francisco in
the 14th round of a bloody,
bruising fight.
Carmen, battered, scarred
and exhausted after the all-out
battle with Fullmer, wanted
time to think about his future.
Two days later, pride and
wounds slightly improved, he
spiked rumors that he was
through with the ring.
“I’ll fight Gene anywhere
but in San Francisco,” he told
a newsman. “I’m not satisfied

Jones was better pleased
with the showing of his young
crew Saturday in a scrimmage
game against Hughes Springs
than he was following the first
practice contest against Clarks-
ville Wednesday,
“Hughes Springs had a fast-
er backfield than Clarksville,
hut the line wasn’t as tough,”
Jones explained.
*T thought our line looked
better with Hodge, Branscome,
Davis and Poison looking real
good,” he added.
. “We played a lot of fresh-
der to arrange the playoffs.
The most crucial battle is
that being waged for the 4th
spot by San Antonio and Ama-
rillo. Last night San Antonio
white-washed Amarillo 6 to 0
to go ahead by half a game.
^Tulsa slammed the pennant
winner, Victoria, 15 to 3, to
stay half a game back of Aus-
tin in the battle for runner-
up. Victoria clinched the pen-
nant Saturday night and is 7

plans.
The National Football Lea-

cities, which will be so-called

One of the key promoters of
the new circuit, Lamar Hunt of
Dallas, has termed the National
League’s expansion plans “sa-
botage.” But he says he is pay-
ing no further attention to it
and his league, which finishes
organization at a meeting in
Los Angeles Sept, 12th and
13th, will open operations in

ball League, S. K. (Bud)
