the club and I'm reasonably sure he will sign again but as of now I simply don’t know.” Cronin believes the Red Sox will be the team to beat in the AL next year. “Trouble is some team always comes along and beats us,” he grinned weakly, recalling the successive hairline decisions| his athletes dropped to Cleveland in "48 and to the Yankees several weeks ago. “Seriously, though,” he comtinued, “our pitching situation ought to be much improved. Those young fellows, Parnell, McDermott and Stobbs, are about ready to take charge of the staff. They could be good enough to do it for us.” # »”

“ THE MORE Connie Mack's kids try to explain the dismissal of coaches Al Simmons and Earl Brucker the more ridiculous they sound. Wonder if they plan to let the old man sit in the dugout next year? ’ In a recent piece I had the baseball commissioner, A. B. Chandder, a graduate of Centre College. Excuse it, pleeze, He came out of Transylvania in 1921 with an AB degree and in 1936 his alma mater awarded him the degree of doctor of laws. What’s more, he’s been a member of the board of curators there for the last 15 years. Going to Miami for the races this winter? Well, be prepared for another Sucker rap.

By the way, Ben Jones hopes to have the great Citation ready for the Hialeah meeting: In case anybody's interested, I like Capot over Coaltown in the Pimlico Special this week, although I realize that picking against Calumet is almost as absurd as picking against Notre Dame. Variety reports that several colleges are peddling movies of _ their games to Hollywood, but they refuse to market the slow . motion versions. Reason: The coaches don’t want the whole world to know the secrets of their trade. What? Well, that’s what the man said. A. T.L. writes from Lynn, Mass.: Here are some figures on

The front-runners were Gene Logel of Evansville, who got both of the Purple Ace's touchdowns against Murray State last week: Hanover's Hank Treesh, who got one TD against Centre, Ky., Saturday, and Fred Kehoe, Ball State’s “Iron Man,” who led the field a week ago but eouldn’t add to his point-total since then because the’ Cardinals were idle over the week-end.

The tesults of three of the leading games alone confounded the experts. Michigan 14, Minnesota 7; S.M.U. 20, Kentucky 7; L.S.U. 13, North Carolina 7. And the funny thing is that the consistency of the Williamson post-game ratings is higher at| this time of the season than for any previous year. That is, a surprising number of the upsets could be straightened out AFTER the games and brought in line with most consistent ranking of “winners ought to be rated over losers.” ’ Powerful Army took over the No. 1 spot while idle Notre Dame slipped into second place. The last was partly because of readjustment of Tulane’s squeak by 14-6 over Auburn. Oklahoma moved up another notch to third place in hurtling Nebraska 48-0. California moved up two notches to No. 4, and Baylor three notches to No. 5. The other 10 leaders of the week included in order Penn, Michigan, Rice, Minnesota, and Southern California.
