Manager Weiss Thinks Farm System
Big Reason For Yanks Winning
Bv FRED DOWN
(United Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK 'IP General
Manager George Weiss viewed
his young, vibrant world cham
pion Yankees today and estimat
ed that they have not yet reached
the peak of their transitional stage.
This stage began in 1947 when
Weiss began the task of convert
ing his aging post-war team into
a new, young one. Since the be- j
ginning of the transition, Weiss
managed to win five of six Ameri
can League pennants despite an
81 per cent turnover in the Yan
kee roster.
“It was the farm System that!
saved us.” Weiss said with justifi
able pride, since it was George
who built it. "It is true we made
some important deals and that
we reached into the National
League to acquire more veterans
than Yankee teams usually do.
“But in the final analysis it was'
our farm , system that kept feeding
us the good players and actually
won the pennants for us.”
“YOI'NG BLOOD”
Although often referred to as
the “Old Champs.” the Yankees
actually are a young team. Phil
Rizzuto is the oldest reglar at 34
and outfielders Hank Bauer and
Gene Woodling are both 30. But
Mickey Mantle is 20. Billy Mar
tin is 24. Yogi Berra. 27, Gil Mc-
Dougald, 23. and Joe Collins. 29.
Nt figures out an average age of
27.

Although Weiss did not say so,
it appears that his next impor
tant task is to find the eventual

ONLY FOUR OUTFIELDERS
! "We are not a set team us v/e
look toward 1953.” Weiss said.
I "We played with only four out
fielders most of this season and
there is the obvious, opportunity
for a voting outfielder to make
lour club.'

regarded as a sure-shot to return

Weiss becomes perhaps unduly

which proved so successful for a
team. But other baseball men in
sist there never was a parallel.

j Stengel mimnized the chances of |
the Cleveland Indians for 1953. ■

him up with anv of ’em. And the !

either.
‘How about that Bob Kuzava? j
I got him lined up for a job al- j
ready. He’ll go in and wind up |
the World Series for me again next I
year, just like he’s done the past j
two years.”
Stengel’s, confidence for the 1953
season stems from the fact that;
his pitching staff undoubtedly will j
be bolstered by the return from ser- j
vice of left hander Ed (Whitey’
Ford, who posted an impressive 9-1
record before he entered the Army
late in 1950.
Other help is due from the Yanks’ i
Kansas City farm in the form of
outfielder Bill Skowron.
NEW YORK OP! Gene Filip
ski. who would be starring for
Army except for the "cribbing
scandal,” was disclosed by official |
figures today to be the nation's i
leading ball carrier in his new I
role as quarterback of the Villa
nova football team.
Statistics released by the Na- 1
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
show that Gene has ripped off 397
yards in overland gains while j
sparking Villanova to victories in j
its first three games.
