Show FRANK K. BAKER ' TELEGRAM SPORTt IDITOP. N Ml Some of the more enthusiastic boosters at Boulder are predicting that Colorado university will win three major championships this school term, just as Utah did a few years back, namely, football, basketball and track. Of course, that's sort sticking the neck out, especially in view of the fact that C. U.'i gridiron championship is still on paper, pa-per, inasmuch as the club hasn't even played a ball game yet. All the op.imism, though, offers a good insight upon the fin crop of athletic talent quartered on the C. U. campus. And regardless of how well the Buffalos figure in the football foot-ball race, they will rank high in the prospects both for basketball basket-ball and track. Besides having virtually his entire varsity of last year, including Byron White, back for the team this year, Coach Forrest "Frosty" Cox is endowed with some extremely fine sophomore prospects from several Kansas high schools- Coach Frank Potts has a gom o . leus of last year's championship track squad again avai'able for service, and he has the best field house in the conference In which the harriers har-riers may work out long before the boys on this side of tha conference can get any genuine workouts. From Dave Coursey, former president of theSalt Lake City Advertising club, cornes this story about Percy Sadler, a former University of Utah student who is one of the staunchest" gridiron boosters the Redskins have. Sadler, who uses crutches to get around, recently had some teeth removed and discovered that part of the jawbone jaw-bone would have to be taken, too. He was swathed in bandages over the weekend, and he's due to go back to the hospital yet this week for more surgery, but that didn't stop him from riding all the way to Bozeman to see the Utes beat Montana State, 19-7. j He made the trip by auto with Joe Ottenheimer. I A Giant fan is a persistent individual.1 If you don't believe so, just listen to this story by the Associated Press 1 of a recent incident in the Yankee stadium while the Giants were on the road. A dusky son of Harlem parked himself in the bleachers and was rooting lustily for the downfall of the Yankees at the hands of Cleveland's young Bob Feller. When the Cleveland Indians led the Yankees 4-0 going into the last half of the eighth inning, this dusky fan who let out a terrific yelp of delight when the scoreboard showed the Giants winning their game away from home, was vehemently exhorting Feller to humble the proud world champions with a shutout. And then it happened. Crosettl bounced a single to left. Rolfe singled. DiMaggio walked, filling the bases. Gehrig walked and forced in Crosettl. Rolfe scored and DiMaggio took third on a wild pitch. Dickey doubled, scoring DiMaggio DiMag-gio and Gehrig. That was the signal for Feller's departure. With that the loyal Giant fan got up and walked out. "Ah came in wtih Mr. Feller and Ah goes out with Mr. Feller," Fel-ler," was his parting shot. Joe McCarthy begs to differ with many folks and says that Steve O'Neill has done a grand job handling Bob Feller... Nobody, No-body, says the Yankee manager, could have brought the youngster young-ster along better than Steve has done. . .Coach Wallace Wade uses a metronome fdat's a moosical timing instrooment Spike) for signal practice at Duke. |
