That's the verdict from statistics covering Illinois' first two 1954 football games. Coach Ray Eliot's defense this season has been far better than it was in first two games last NORTHWEST CONFERENCE (all games) VV 0 0 1 0 2 2 Giants Won't Stand Pat By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Wilier NEW YORK (UP) The world champion New York Clients have postponed "concrete talks" about possible deals for at least a month but believe they'll be stronger on opening day, 1955, than the team which swept four straight from tire Cleveland Indians in the World Series. That's the official club policy as outlined today by Chub Feeney, the Giants' aggressive, young vice president, who predicted a year ago at this time that Willie Mays would be a contender for the National League batting title.

"I just hope I'm as right about the team in 1955 as I was about Willie in 1954," Feeney quipped. "But I see no reason why this team can't be expected to get better. "We feci the team is basically a young Feeney continued. "Willie and Antonelli arc around 2-1 years old and AI Dark and Wes West rum are only 32. The other regulars are under 30, except Monte Irvin." Won't Stand Pat Feeney said the Giant.s had no intentions of "standing pat over the winter" but that no definite plans would be made until Manager Leo Durocher and the front office confer later this year.

The conference is expected to take place in early December when Durocher flics east to attend the annual dinner of the New York Baseball Writers' Association Top priority in strengthening the club is expected to go toward obtaining a front-line pitcher and per Merrill Nelson Seeks Table Tennis Players Merrill Nelson, local table tennis star, has issued a challenge to all table tennis players in the city of Galesburg and Knox County for open competition. Nelson has claimed the city championship for several years, but is hoping to find sonic worthy foes from Gnlesburg High School, Knox College or the surrounding area. Nelson, 85 W. Losey, can be reached by phoning 3902-5 or calling nt his home. Nelson also reports that be and his partner, Wesley Allison, arc available for table tennis shows.

He went 2t! yards for the game's only touchdown and the victory thai boosted the Badgers up Iwo notches in the national spotlight. Amcche, 21-ycar-old senior, has scored IB touchdowns at Wisconsin nnd was the B'j top ground gainer his first two years. He set a Wisconsin rushing mark of 940 yards in his sophomore year.

But the MSG backs didn't have a much easier time getting past center Gary Messncr, tackles Bob Konovsky and John Dittrich, guard Norm Amundsen or end Jim Temp. While most coaches will settle for one good quarterback, Wisconsin has two Jim Miller, top passer in the Big Ten last year, and Jim Ilaluskn. the Badgers' 1952 Rose Bowl quarterback who was nut last season because of a broken leg. Both men played smart ball against Michigan State.

The gun sounds as the ball is in the air. The Team defender, guarding the man for whom the pass is intended, figures the game is finished, decides to take no chances. He grabs the receiver and holds him. Can any penalty be called for Chinal. Answer: Yes.

The ball will be put on Team B's one yard line and Team A will be given one more play. If there is a foul on the last play of the game, the team fouled against is given another play and the team making the foul is penalized. This holds true for the play ran as a result of the foul. If there is another one on that play, the referee simply runs the process through again. Q.

The busty blonde is slated to file suit for divorce. Her attorney, Jerry (iieslcr, said Monday that a conflict of careers cused the rift in the nine-month marriage. This was a romance that Hollywood never expected to get to matrimony's first base, so little did the two have in common. Before she married Joe, Marilyn thought a shortstop was something that cross-country bus passengers did. DiMaggio hadn't seen a movie since "Pride of the YankecvS," the Lou Gehrig story.

Antonelli Has Lowest Earned Run Average By BEN OLAN NEW YORK UP) Southpaw Johnny Antonelli posted the lowest earned run average among major league pitchers while producing 21 victories and six shutouts for the New York Giants during the regular 1954 season. Antonelli, who had his talented left hand in two of the Giants' World Series triumphs over Cleveland, permitted 66 earned runs in innings for a sparkling 2.29 earned run mark, statistics compiled by The Associated Press disclosed today. Mike Garcia of the Indians, a 19-game winner, captured the American League title with a 2.64 average, Chicago's Sandy Consuegra, who finished with 2.67. Garcia gave up 76 earned runs in 259 innings and Consuegra, with a 16-3 won-lost record, allowed 46 in 155.

A pitcher must work at least 154 innings to be considered for the crown. Lew Burdette of Milwaukee wound up a poor second to Antonelli in the National League, giving up 74 earned runs in 237 frames for a 2.81 slate. Lew won 15 games and lost 14. Ruben Gomez of the Giants, another World Series victor, finished third with 2.84 on 70 earned runs in 222 innings. He had a 17-9 won-lost record.

Early Wynn of Cleveland ended up in a third-place tie with teammate Bob Lemon in the American League. Each had an average of 2.72. Wynn permitted 82 earned runs in 271 innings and Lemon, 78 in 258. Steve Gromek of Detroit was fifth with 2.77.

Next came Virgil Trucks Chicago, 2.78, and Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees, 2.82.
