The squad isn’t going to win games this season for Bo's merhory. They have been “taken in” by Smith's quiet, unassuming attitude and show promises of making & decent showing of themselves in view of the school’s toughest schedule in years. What a Schedule However, it is the usual situation here on opening day-—no depth—but it's been that way for years. Smith isn’t awed by the schedule and he says that after playing Wisconsin, Towa, Texas Christian, Ohio State and Pitt the

schedule “eases” off” ‘with Minnesota, “Notre Dame; Michigan and Purdue.

ITU's backfield quartet of Del Russell, George Taliaferro, Harry Jagade and Nick Sebek could be one of the best in the nation, but beyond them there are few replacements. The Cream and Crimson ranked third offensively in passing last year and can be a similar threat this season with Russell and Sebek sharing the flinging. Smith and his coaching staff were banking on Rex Grossman to direct the eleven and schooled the signal-caller especially for the job during spring training. Since then Grossman has turned professional with the Baltimore Colts of the All-America Conference and Smith must concentrate upon a new field man, Promising Sophomores Ninteen of: the 58 variety candidates have won football letters and two of the biggest question marks will be Captain John Goldsberry, giant right tackle from South Bend, and Taliaferro, the swivél-hip halfback from Gary. Goldsberry is not a part of Smith's plans for this season since Goldsberry never has recovs ered completely from a knee in jury he suffered last year in the Iowa game. If ‘he can play, however, it is just that much more “gravy.” Taliaferro last year did

not reach’ the peak performance

he had in 1945. If he approaches that freshman showing this season—watch out Purdue. Then there is a group of sophomores that look exceptionally well, These include Clifton Anderson, end, from Cape May, N.

Saints Reach Tie For Third in AA

Defeat Milwaukee 13-12 in 10 Innings

St. Paul joined Columbus in third place in the American Association today. The Saints edged the secondplace Brewers, 13 to 12, in an extra-inning contest at Milwaukee last night, while Columbus dropped a 3-to-2 game at Indianapolis. Seventh place Toledo shut out the cellar dwelling Colonels, 5 to 04at Louisville. Minneapolis won a twin bill at Kansas City, 6 to 3 and 8 to 6. The Saints’ big inning was the second when they scored seven runs. They had tallied three times in the opening frame. Dan Bankhead held the Brewers scoreless until the sixth when Jim Gleeson’s homer brought in three counters. Gene Markland, Brewer infielder, drove in six runs in the Brewers’ late rallies with three-run homers in the eighth #nd ninth innings to tie the game. But the Saints came through in the 10th, George Fallon, Bud Atwell and Ferrell Anderson got round:trippers for, St. Paul.. The Saints. collected 16 hits off five Milwaukee moundsmen and the Brewers got 13 off four St. Paul pitchers. Jim Wilson hurled the two-hit shutout for the Mudhens. Toledo garnered 13 hits off Johnny MeCall, who ‘went the route for Louisville. The Millers came from behind to win the seven-inning opener at Kansas City. The Blues scored three runs in the first frame but Minneapolis tallied four in the fifth and one each in the next two. In the nightcap, the Millers collected 18 hits off Bill Woop and scored the winning runs in the last inning. A two-run hit for the circuit by Bill Drescher, Blues’ catcher, had tied the count in the eighth. Hank Bauer also homered for the rs. Otey Clark got credit for victory.

With Gifts an

(Continued From Page One) Great Dane puppy, Jim Walsh and Jim Bagby got hunting dogs. If the boys get all those dogs together in the clubhouse at one time there ought to be some fun. ‘Couldn’t Get Over It’ And the Indians just couldn't get over it. The consensus was: “They're a great bunch of people to play ball for. They are wonderful.” Manager Al Lopez remarked: “It's the most amazing thing I have ever seen in all my years in baseball and I want all the fans to know that all of us on the ball club appreciate their gesture of | goodwill.” Tony Cuccinello, coach of the Indians, and a man who has played plenty of baseball in his life, said: “I have never seen nor heard of anything like this is baseball in my life. We certainly do ap-

these things.” Perhaps the most startled fellow at the party last night was| Tom Saffell. He's the fellow who got the goat. All he could do was scratch his head and say: “What am 1 going to do with a goat?” (Tom lives in an apartment, 80 he doesn’t even have any grass the goat can eat.) And so it went up ahd down the roster of the Indians. All they could say was: “Those Hoosier fans, They're wonderful.” As for the gifts. Well, the boss would have to give up about three more columns of space:if an attempt were made to list them all as well as the names of the donors. But among the leading items were the envelopes which

derneath crossed bats as well as a portable radio. Of course, Johnny Hutchings, clown and number one relief pitcher for fhe Indians, gave the capacity crowd its biggest laugh. Johnny heard master of ceremonies Luke Walton reel off the list of things that are going to be done to his house. But when Luke told the crowd that a neon sign maker was going to put a lighted number on Johnny's house, poor Hutch fainted dead away. Faked, of course, but the fans loved it. When it was all over, a check of the night's proceedings showed that everyone in the Indians’ organization from Business’ Manager Ted Sulllvan down to the bat boys had received a gift. The Tribesmen wound up proceedings by whipping the Columbus Redbirds, 3-2, to move within two games of the flagclincher.
