outfielders Mickey Mantle and Gene
Woodling on the team.
I The rest of the All-Star squad
; consisted of pitcher Bobby Shantz
• [ and first baseman Ferris Fain of
! | the Athletics, outfielder Larry Doby
and third baseman A1 Rosen of
the Indians, and second baseman
' Nelson Fox of the White Sox.
i The selections were made by a
i special 24-man Committee of the
Baseball Writers, three from each
: league city. And they came up with
a formidable array of talent.
Possibly indicating a trend to
i ward brilliant new stars in the lea
gue firmament, only four of the
10 men selected were repeaters from
the 1951 team. They were Rizzuto
Berra and Reynolds of the Yankees
and Fain of the A’s.
The new crew won virtually all
of the individual honors in the
American League statistics depart
j ment last season. Fain was the re
peat batting champion with a .327
mark. Doby copped three honors,
; leading in homers with 32, in runs
batted in with 106, and in runs
scored with 104. The amazing little
Shantz. smallest player in the ma
jors. was a 24-7 winning pitcher
and might well have made it 25
had he not suffered a broken wrist
in the final week of the campaign.
Fox, the dogged little Chicago in-1
fielder, collected the most hits. 192
and Fain also produced the most
doubles, 43.
However, the team did not have
a particularly impressive all-star
batting average with a collective
mark of .294.
Berra, whose batting average
dropped off 21 points to a .273 level
this year, still was clearly the best
of the league's receivers and he had
j no opposition. He hit 30 homers, tops
' for his career, and batted in 98 runs -

respite missing 12 games most of
them early in the season when lie
was injured.
Mantle, fast developing as the
: most powerful switch-hitter in
baseball history, had a 311 average
and delivered 23 homers. He and
Shantz were naihed on all but one
bayot. Doby, a run-producing ter
ror despite a not impressive .276
batting average won the second out
field spot without trouble but
Woodling. also a .311 hitter, barely
won the third spot by. one vote
from teammate Hank Bauer.
Fain, a great defensive man along
with his hitting, and Fox, a .296
hitting pepperpot tor Chicago were
the choices of all but two of the
committee. Rizzuto. who dropped to
.253 and probably slowed up a step
or two in the field still was closely
the best of the shortstops and Ros
en, because of his power hitting,
gained the third base spot with
a .302 mark and 28 homers, even
though he is no delensive peer.
Reynolds, as always, the "Mr.
Clutch" of the Yankee pitching staff,
gained 20 victories lor the first
time in his career and was an
easy winner for the second hurling
berth.
Players who received honorable
mention in the voting were Bauer,
Dale Mitchell of Cleveland, Jackie
Jensen of Washington, Elmer Valo
and Gus Zernial of Philadelphia,
Minnie Minoso of Chicago and Dom
DiMaggio of Boston among the
outfielders; Luke Easter of Cleve
land and Ed Robinson of Chicago
at first base. Billy Martin of New
York and Billy Goodman of Boston
at second. Eddie Yost of Washing
ton and George Kell of Boston at
third, and Eddie Joost of Philadel
phia and Pete Runnels of Wash
ington at shortstop.

Tar Heels Point For Gamecock
Game In Quest Os First Victory
CHAPEL HILL. Although they
had a brief vacation from heavy
work on Monday and have had it
fairly light all week, the University
of North Carolina football team
rates the South Carolina's Game
cocks just as tough as their pre
vious opponents.
The Tar Heels meet South Caro
lina at Columbia Saturday at 2 j
o'clock and are not taking the
Gamecocks lightly. Tar Heel scouts
warned the team this week that the
South Carolinians offer a formi
dable attack, one which beat Vir
ginia 21-14, a team which dropped
the Tar Heels 34-7 last week. I
While the Gamecocks cannot
match Notre Dame. Texas and
Tennessee in power, the Tar Heels
did not fair well against thos teams
either. Coach Rex Enright’s team
has lost only to Army and Duke,
a couple of stout foes, while they
have topped all other opponents.
After a winless skien of five
games this season, coupled with
six during the end of last season,
the Tar Heels will go into the game
as the underdogs. The Tar Heels
figure the Gamecocks to be on the
par with most of the teams they’ve
already met and fear the accurate
passing of quarterback Johnny
Grambling.
Not only is Grambling a big
threat, but such veteran runners
as Hooty Johnson and Bobby i
Drawdy have been impressive.
The Gamecocks also offer one of
the league’s top defensive ball clubs i
and the defeme will be tested by j
Tar Heels’ quartet of Marshall
Newman, Larry Parker, Bud Wall
ace and Chal Port. John Gaylor
and Jack Cooke will also see plenty
of service.
The Gamecocks have shown ra
pid improvement since their defeat
by Duke four weeks ago in topping
Clemson, Virginia, and the Citadel

and need a victory over the Tar
Heels to help them on to one of
j their best seasons in recent years.
The Tar Heels, desperately look
ing for win number one, worked
long on pass defense and hard on
their offensive game this week.
Even in defeat against the Cav
aliers, the 144 net yard rushing
| piled up by the Tar Heels was their
1 best of the season.
The Tar Heels leave here by train
on Friday and will return Satur
day night following the contest.
FOOTBALL
BRIEFS
WAKE FOREST (IP) Wake
Forest sought to sharpen its own
attack today as they prepared for
Saturdays’ attempt to set a modern
day record by beating Duke for
the fifth time in a row.
The team studied the Duke at
tack as run by the jayvees yes
terday during a scrimmage in a
! cold rain. Halfback Billy Churm
missed the drill because of a case
of flu and was expected to see only
limited action Saturday.
DURHAM (IP) Duke’s Blue
| Devils worked today to eliminate
flaws in defensive and offensive
j play that cost them dearly in
I games against Georgia Tech and
| Navy.
The squad worked until d*rk in
a cold rain yesterday, bent on sal
vaging from the once-perfect sea
son the Southern Conference crown.
Quarterbacks Jerry Barger and
Worth Lutz directed the offensive
squad in drills against the jayvees
and halfback Charlie Smith showed
impressive ground-gaining power.
The defensive team looked for
the early season knack that gained
them a rating as one of the na
tions best before Georgia Tech and
Navy shattered the system.
RALEIGH UP) - A steady rain
halted the North Carolina State
Wolfpack’s scrimmage yestenday
but the team worked out in a light
dummy drill agaist Pittsburgh
formations.
State flies to Pittsburgh Friday
and Coach Horace Hendrickson
warned his team that Pitt is
“dangerous from any formation.”
Hendrickson said Pitt uses the
basic Y-formation but also runs
many plays from the single wing.
CHAPEL HILL (IP) Fullback
Harold Davidson, stricken with
polio several weeks, was ready for
heavy work with the University of
North Carolina Tar Heels today
Duke Facing Another Tough
Game At Wake Forest Saturday
DURHAM Duke’s Blue Devils,
knocked from the unbeaten ranks
by Georgie Tech two weeks ago
and further embarrassed by Navy
last week, face another tough one
when they battle Wake Forest for
the Southern Conference lead at
Wake Forest Saturday.
These final two Blue Devil .games
with the Deacons and Nortli Car- i
olina will certainly be a challenge I
to the Blue Devils since they will 1
be able, by winning them, to sal- ’
yage something from a season which j
started so beautifully.
Two victories now would give
Duke its first conference crown
since 1945.
The past tw’o fosses were hard
to take by Duke followers but Coach
Bill Murray said before the season
opened that the Blue Devils should
have a good year unless there were
injuries to key players.
and was expected to strengthen I
the injured-riddled team
The Tar Heels worked out lightly j
in the lain yesterday, stressing
defensive backfield formations. I
Coach Carl Snavely tried out sev- ,
eral replacements in the back- ‘
field, trying to find an answer to j
the passing arm of South Caro- \
lina’s Johnny Gramling.
When the Tar Heeis meet South
Carolina Saturday they will be
facing in Gramling a passer who
has passed for as many touch
downs as the Tar Heels have
scored all season.
DURHAM IIP) Rumors of a
move to allow Southern Confer
ence football teams to accept post
season bowl bids were denied to
day by Conference Commissioner
Wallace Wade.
“If there is any such move under
way. I know nothing at all about
it." Wade said.
Under present conference rules,
no team may accept a bowl bid
without getting , permission from
other conference members. How
ever, it had been rumored that
the conference was polling Its
members to decide whether the
rule should be relaxed.
Wade told the United Press that
the rumors were “groundless.”

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 12, 1952
Those injuries have come. First
to regular guard Jim Logan and
sophomore tackle Fred Campbell,
both out for the year before the
season opened. That cut into the
reserve strength.
Then three weeks ago Chris Ln-
Caruba, senior reserve center and
No. 1 replacement for Captain Lou
Tepe, went out for the year with
a knee injury.
As it turned out, that loss might
well have cost Duke the Navy
game since Tepe injured LaCar
uba. a talented performer, would
have taken over his spot. Tlis
bad pass that probably lost the
clash to the Middies might not have
occurred.
Then came what might well
have been the worst blow of them
all. On the first play of the Tech
game. All-America guard candidate
Bobby Burrows went out for the
remainder of the year. His true
worth to the team can be shown
in the figures that opponents ave
raged only 114.2 yards per game
in the first six but have averaged
299.5 yards per tilt in the past
two.
Duke gave up 685 yards rushing
in the first six games, but have
allowed 599 yards in the past two
games with Tech and Navy to bring
the season total on the ground to
1,284. That upped the 114.2 defen
sive rushing record after six con
tests to an astronomical 160.5 yards
after eight games.
On top of that James <Rpd>
Smith, the bull-dozing halfback
and extra point kicker, went out
of the Tech game and missed the
contest with Navy. Captain I,ou
Tepe w'as injured in practice last
week and was handicapped in the
Navy clash.
