r- .57 iulane Rated Hear Bottom Among SEC Clubs By STERLING SLAPPEY Associated Press Sports Writer Tulcne is an aristocrat of foot-jail likely to go slumming this fall in a million dollar showplace. A one-time Rose Bowl team, a two-times winner of Southeastern Conference championships and 'lolder of two unbeaten seasons in conference games has no business oeing rated very near or on the bottom of the 12-team Southeastern. But, near the bottorri of the SEC is where Tulane is rated by coach-is and justifiably so. You can check carefully through Tulane's roster, look closely at 1951 statistics and accomplishments, you can add some credit for pleasant surprises coming up this fall in the way of young of improved players and you can credit Tulane with hiring Bear Wolf as head coach. But, still the Green Wave just doesn't look as impressive as the average Southeastern team.
The 1951 club wasn't a good one. On several occasions it was a poor team against Auburn, Mississippi and Kentucky. There were few stars and some who were supposed to shine looked dull. The team finished out its string a bit stronger than it was operating in mid-season but still had a disappointing 4-6 record. The residue from that sometimes unhappy team, plus a few promcteees from the squad aria a promising freshman or two, are what Coach Wolf will meet for the opening of fall drills Sept.
Generally, Tulane's 1952 ends, tackles and guards look weaker than those on the 1951 team. Centers will be more plentiful and maybe a little better. The back-field doesn't look bad at all with these good men returning Ronnie Kent, Max McGee, Fred Demp-sey, Pete Clement, Bob Saia, Ray Hymel, Ray Weidenbacher, Roy Bailey and Lester Kennedy. Generally, on the defensive, Tulane appears weakened. During spring drills the three most improved Tulane men were end-linebacker Charley Pittman, center Charles Camp and guard-linebacker Al Robelot.
Robelot and three others are the men Tulane presently expects the most from. The others are led by GETTING READY James Pray bears down on the pigskin as Jimmy McCoy holds the ball in one of the recent night practice sessions going on at the Crowley High football field. The 1952 gridders are prepping for their game with Westlake in the Jamboree in Lake Charles on August 29. By Ralph Roden AP Sports Writer Kupr since Luke Easter became a regular on the Cleveland Indians it has been said, "As Easter goes so go the Indians." Cleveland's pennant hopes have waxed and waned the past two reasons coinciding with the rise or decline of Easter's fortunes at the olate. A trick knee more than lack Df punch in the clutch has been responsible for Easter's failure to deliver the goods in the past.
His value to the Indians is clear-y demonstrated by his perform-mce this year. Big Luke is hot "ight now and so are the Indians. Cleveland, with Easter playing a leading roll, swamped the Boston Red Sox, 18-8 yesterday and pulled to within a game of the, American League's front-running New York Yankees. The Yanks were humiliated, 12-3, by the Chicago White Sox. Philadelphia tipped Detroit, 4-3, in the circuit's only night game.
A night game between St. Louis and Washington was rained out. Brooklyn moved seven games ahead of the New York Giants in the National League chase, downing Cincinnati, 6-3. The Giants and Chicago Cubs were rained out. In other games, Philadelphia tamed Pittsburgh, 3-1, and St.
Louis trounced Boston, 9-2, in a game called in the eighth inning because of rain. The Indians could take over the lead today with the help of Chicago. A Cleveland victory over Boston and a Chicago triumph over New York would enable the Indians to move out front by one percentage point. Cleveland enters the crucial stage of its 12-game road trip tomorrow when it invades Yankee Stadium for a two game series. Easter, Ray Boone and Larry Doby were the ringleaders in Cleveland's rout of the Red Sox.
Easter batted in six runs on a grand-slam homer and two singles, Boone sent six mates across on a homer and two singles and Doby batted in a pair of runs on his 27th homer and two singles. Since July 15, when Easter rejoined the Indians after a short exile to Indianapolis of the American Association, the Tribe has won 24 games and lost 15, a .615 pace. During this span Easter has whacked out 26 hits in 78 times at bat, a .333 average, driven in 28 runs and clouted eight homers. Before he departed for Indianapolis he was hitting .208 and had driven in 33 runs and connected for only 11 homers in 63 games. The Indians spotted the Red Sox low and Bob Whitman have been signed on to help Wolf and oldline assistants Dennis Vanzant and Andy Pilney.
The 1952 schedule is slightly toughter than the average SEC team and one thing which may help Tulane considerably is the playing of seven games at home. Tulane meets Georgia, Santa Clara, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Louisi ana College and L. S. U. in the multi-million dollar Sugar Bowl Georgia tech will be played in Atlanta, Auburn in Mobile and Kentucky in Lexington.

The Millers tallied 3 times in the eighth on singles by Nelson, Seivolrtti and Smerek. and a double by Edinger but that was all the damage they could do.

Scivoletti opened the game by drawing a free ticket to first. Kay Stockton's hot smash to third hit Billy Adams in the face and bounded into left field to give a double to Stockton.

After Scivoletti scored on a wild pitch, Edinger singled to score Stockton, Moore walked and Ogletree singled to dep short to load the bases. Tony Mele then sent a line drive double to left center to clear the sacks. Hoy Niccolai started for the Millers but lack of control forced him to retire after walking three men in the first inning. Charlie Nelson came on then, his second relief appearance of the evening, and after giving up a single to Red Smith which counted the two Giant runs, pitched shutout ball the rest of the way. The Millers got their sixth tally in the fourth on singles Meriwether, Scivoletti, and Stockton.
Stockton, with a double and two singles in 3 official trips to the plate led the hitting in the final game.

In view of the report, the tennis family must feel fairly certain that the Navy will be willing to give Trabert another leave for the trip.
We can vouch that he made an excellent ambassador last winter, when he played only in the losing doubles match as Schroeders partner. Unless memory is faulty, Tony was the last Amsrican player to win two sets from Sedgman, a feat he accomplished in the Nationals nearly a year ago at Forest Hills. This would indicate at least a faint possibility that he might sometime win three sets from the Aussie star. Perry is supposed to be the best of the West Coast crop and a very fine prospect for future greatness. Probably his best win up to now was scored over little Ken Rose-wall, the 17-year-old Australian junior champ, in an early round of last week's Newport tournament.
Later, though, he was whipped by Sgt. Bernard Bartzen, a fellow member of the.U. S. Cup squad. Our guess is that, in the end, too much pressure will be brought on the selectors to permit them to play only the two youngsters.

Specifically, the word is that they are thinking seriously of sending only Bob Perry, 19, and Tony Trabert, 22, to Austrilia next winter to challenge for the big cup. If sounds fantastic, but vvq've talked with a couple of rather knowing tennis gents here, and each said that, strictly off the record, he wouldn't be greatly sur prised if this plan were adopted. "You fellows have been raising so much hell about our failure to give the kids a chance," one of them said, breathing rather heav ily.

Bear Wolf, late of North Caro lina State and later still of Florida, got the Tulane head coaching job when Henry Frnka left New Orleans to become vice-president of his home college, Austin College at Sherman, Texas. Wolf is a big," friendly fellow who often can get a good performance out of a player with affiabil-ity when a stern coach would fail. Wolf's temperament may be one of the principal things needed this fall to loosen up the Tulane squad, relax and encourage it after the troubles of 1951. Florida alumni weren't enthusiastic about Bear Wolf when he left two years ago but his direction of Tulane may prove Florida hasty in sluggesting he pack his bags.

If so, you may have heard someone say Something like this: "The defendant is insured his insurance company is rich let's be generous!" Suppose we stop a minute and figure out who really pays the bil in such oases.
Actually, it isn't the insurance company but the company's policyholders in fact, the whole insurance public. All claims have to be paid out of funds created by premium payments. If awards are excessive or for any other reason total claims get too big, the whole body of policyholders suffers by having premiums raised to keep the insurance reservoir full. Nobody with a sense of decency advocates that reasonable claims for injury or damage be cut down. On the other hand, there is neither fairness nor business sense in excessive judgments based on the theory that the defendant doesn't really pay.
The fact is that such judgements are at the expense of the premium-paying public. And that is likely to include, sooner or later, every member of the jury.
