PAGE TEN BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 19, II Grim Chickasaws Work For North Little Rock Injuries Lessen Backfield Power Blytheville's Chickasaws yesterday grimly went about their task of preparing for Friday night's engagement with North Little Rock. Three key backs seem almost sure to miss 1953's most important game. Definitely out is Red Childress, the big and powerful blocking back. Hobbling about during yesterday workout was Bobby Jones, capable sophomore, who is Childress' understudy.

Childress was brought home from Memphis' Baptist Hospital yesterday. Out for a little running, but with no equipment on was Tommy Masley regular left halfback and the Chicks' main ground threat who is nursing a cracked rib. With one shoulder well-taped, Leon Pvivett participated In yesterday's drills which contained practically no heavy contact work. Indications are that Privett will play Friday night. Missing from workouts, too, was reserve tackle Chuck Langston, who has''a bad knee.

All in all, a rather gloomy picture. But Coach Eussell Mosley and his aide. Bill Stancil, wasted no time in bemoaning these losses. Those Intangibles They got right to worn with the remaining personnel, banking a loi on team spirit, desire and hustle to overcome some of these shortcomings as it has on occasion in the past. Childress, Mosley and Jones represent the Chicks' main passing threats.

Jones has a deep-seated bruise a thigh muscle. Chances are he'll see some action Friday night. Mosley is okay except for his rib. A final decision on his playing condition probably won't be forthcoming until Friday. Meanwhile.

Charles (Bug) Ab bott, a husky and willing sophomore, is giving the quarterback Blot an earnest trial and Freddie Akers and Kenneth Fisher are getting their passing arms unlimbered. Akers, the elusive sophomore, will probably step into Mosley's left half slot, with either Danny Edgmon or Ralph Snyder at the other halfback and Fisher at That will give the Tribe good running power, but overall offensive smoothness will depend largely on whether Jones plays or how well Abbott can learn the quarterback-blocking back role in just Weighing-in around 165-170 pounds, Abbott has powerful legs and has shown good power in blocking. No Rough Stuff Mosley said yesterday he plans no full-scale scrimmages or any other rougn stuff for the Chicks. In the rear of the new high school building yesterday. Junior Coach Billy Wayne McFarland was putting the finishing touches on his Papooses, who begin ineir season tomorrow night.

The Paps journey to Keiser to take on the junior Yellow Jackets. Scrimmaging against the high school team yesterday, the Paps put on quite a defensive show. Coach Jimmy Fis.ier's Bees, who are just getting organised, couldn't aent the hard-working' Papoose line. The Bees also have an engagement this week, meeting Lepanto in that Poinsett County town Friday night. McFarland.

usually pessimistic about his green material, scarcely could hide his satisfaction with the defensive performance of his crew. "They've come a long way since we first started in August," he smiled.

Louis at New York (C-ll) and Turley (2-3) Loput (15,3) and Reynolds (11-7) Sports Roundup Dodger Whoopla Out of Hand By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP) Lookahere all this loose talk abovit what Brooklyn would have done to the Yankees if they had been playing in the same league is getting out of hand. When Dizzy Dean said the National Leaguers would have distanced the world champs by 15 games over the season, that was all right, or Diz is a sort of special character. But when such an otherwise temperate man as Harry Banning, the Giants catcher of a few years back, puts the Dodgers' superiority at 10 games, it's time to start counting buttons. In an interview here, Harry the Horse opines that Brooklyn's "deceptive" pitching staff and its array of sluggers would wear the Bombers out over the long haul. And vet, in the next breath he picks the Yankees to win the World Series.

What sort of reasoning is that? Let us be cool, even Dodger fans. Sure, Charlie Dressen's heroes won it by a mile, and in the process they shattered team and league hitting records by the dozen. They're hot stuff. But they still have a scatter-gun pitching staff, and how in the world anyone can figure they would have run over the Yankees, not to mention Cleveland and Chicago, is beyond fathoming. The Yankees, let us note, overpowered their league by as impressive a margin as the Dodgers did theirs.

Professor Casey Stengel's boys didn't exactly limp in. Some argue the Brooks ran away from a stronger group of clubs than the Yanks did. That is at least debatable, no matter the result of the all-star game. Any National Leaguer who wants to be entirely honest must concede that one reason for the Dodgers' romp was the utter collapse of the New York Giants, who had figured to give them an argument. The fact that five .300 hlttvrs are packed Into the regular Brooklyn line-up against the Yankees' two.

as of this writing, should not be taken too seriously. A comparison of the current averages of the leading hitters in each league indicates very strongly the American Leaguers hnvc faced the better pitching. Ten National of them Brooks- are hitting .314 or higher. Exactly three American Leaguers cnn claim the same distinction. Does anyone wish to the Dodgers have faced and belabored such pitching as that afforded by Cleveland's Lemon.

Wyim and Garcia, or by Chicago's. Pierce and Trucks, or even by fifth-place Washington's Porierfield and Masterson? Outside Robin Roberts of the Phils and Warren Spahn of Milwaukee, we don't believe they have. Or, take the erratic sort of pitching that has been good enough to win for the Dodgers, thanks to their tremendous hitting. Buss Meyer, the Phil castoff, has made a habit of beating Milwaukee, the chief threat, but there is doubt that Dre.ssen even will risk him In a starting role in the play-off. Would that be significant? To those who dreamily picture the Dodgers standing astride the American League over the season, we would propound only one more If you fear that Ed Lopat.

Whiley Ford, Vic Raschi and Chief Reynolds will be rough on your lads in the series (and with pood reason, we might add), why do you think you would like them any better in extended doses? Speaking as a National Leaguer from away back, our guess is that you wouldn't. WANTED AT ONCE Two first class mechanics. One as a replacement and one in addition to our present staff. Straight salary, pleasant working conditions. Must be A-l mechanics.

Those who want some more "debate" on the merits of the formation as compared to the single wing will get It here Saturday. When Nebraska meets Oregon in a nationally televised college football game thn t's what it's goi ng to be basically Nebraska's single- wing against Oregon with the But it probably won't be a straight test- That's because Nebraska, a team last year, still retains i little of the formation to mix in with the basic single wing. Oregon, however, sticks straight to the although making fair use of flankers. Last year Nebraska beat Oregon at Eugene, 28-13. Both teams are considered some better this season, Key men in the attacks of the teams will be little John Bordogna (No.

Expect Passes Nebraska coaches have emphasized that they expect Oregon to throw a lot. The West Coasters have along with Shaw a lad named Barney Holland who throws expertly. When Holland is in the Shaw sometimes switches to Halfback. Oregon's speed boy in the backfield is halfback Ted Anderson while Nebraska's chief running threat on the No.

team besides Bordogna Is Bob Smith at right. ialf. Up front, a lot of Nebraska power rests in the two big tackles, Jerry Minnick and Ted Connor, both 220 pounders, and Bill Schabncker at right end.

Since they have survived this I game victory circle back on Aug.

long it's unlikely that any of the skippers will be fire or quit with only a week and a half to go. Post-seasons changes are another matter. In only 10 other seasons dating back through year the American League was organized one set of managers gone through the entire year. The last time it happened was 1947. Before that it was 1942.

Even this year didn't escape without strong rumors. In. June the odds were strong that Rogers -lornsby, a familiar figure in mid- season changes, wouldn't be around much longer. Hornsby still, there although he hasn't been rehired for 1954. A cellar-dwelling outfit early in the season the Redlegs picked up abruptly toward late June and the of a sudden managerial switch died.

The Reds now are in sixth place, two games behind the ifth place New York and three ahead of seventh place Chicago. Win They beat the Giants 4-3 last night and get a chance to shave off another game today. In other National League games and last night Philadelphia broke Chicago's 10 game winning streak with a 4-2 decision, Brooklyn edged St. Louis 4-3 on Duke Snider's two-run pinch hit omer in the ninth inning and Pittsburgh beat Milwaukee 7-5. With the pennant pressure, off Cleveland shaded the New York Yankees 1-0 as Bob Lemon won His 20th ganie.

Chicago whipped Boston 6-0 in the only other Anieri- can. League contest. Robin Roberts, who hit the 20 12, won his 22nd game In stopping the Cubs. Snider's home run, his S9th, gave Brooklyn its first victory since it clinched the National League flag Saturday. Young Steve Kraly can't have a very high opinion of the hitting strength of the New York Yankees.

Yankee Rookie has started two games and lost both on shutouts. He gave only lour hits yesterday but the Indians put two of them together in Vie first Inning along with a walk to score the one run they needed. Lemon now has won 20 or more games in five of the last six seasons.
