dood lings:
If Sam Snead gets help frorm
the galleries in golf tourna
ments as Tommy Bolt says he
is ‘‘reasonably sure,” Sam sho
uld apeak shartply to the fans
at nhe National Open Tourna
ments for not cooperatinlgi.
That’s the ibijgi one he has failed
to win. From what iwe have
seen of his game, he’s about
the last person who should
need help. Anyway, if Bolt's
statement were true, there isn’t
much that could be done aibout
it. You can’t penalize Snead
for being papular. Maybe Bolt
; should cultivate a following of !
his own and scatter a few soc
cer players in the gallery to
give the Iball a skillful kick
when it’s heading for trouble.

Puerto Rico and the Giants re
portedly are quite happy about
it. When he has a poor winter
season in the past., his perform
ance with the Giants has been
good, and vice versa. Wonder
how accurate the estimates of
the salaries oif the higher-salar
ied major league players real-;
ly are? Have heard it meniion
ed that Yogi Berra will ask for
$50,000 for 1056. It was estima
ted he got about $42,000 this
year. So it is a case of one es
tima.e leadinjg to another esti
mate, and if the original esti
mate is all wet, the subsequent
estimates will be also.
There are the usual annual
rumors ii'hat the Cardinals will
trade Red Schoendienst. May
be true, as Frank Bane does
some startling things, 'but some
how we Can’t visualize it. Red
still is the best second baseman
in the business, iand for the
Cardinals to deliberately wea
ken that important position
wouldn't seem to make sense.
Stan Musial wouldn’t like it if
the slick redhead left the club.
They’re buddies, and have
roomed together on the road
these many years.
Note t hat the Michigan State
football team held an “open”
workout on the West Coast,
with the public invited to wat
ch the drill for the Rose Bowl
game with UCLA. Could be a
little psychology there, as the
onlookers might carry stories
of the formidable appearance
Of the Sipartans back to UOLA
to disturb the peace of mind
of Red Saunders’ athle es. We
don’t imagine the Big Ten team
put on any more than a 1-2-3
kick demonstration, though.
Harold Keith, extremely able
publicity man for Oklahoma, j
does an adroit job of building
up and tearing down the Soon
ers at one & the same time. In
his comprehensive and* frank |
data on the squad, which meets 1
Maryland in the Orange Bowl j
Jan. 2, he points out the Okla-:
home team didn’ t have a player!
in the first three pro drafts,
although Maryland had two;
that the Sooners aren’t as deep,
or rugged, or as good as the
1049 team or as Slick offensive
ly as the 1952 team.
Counteracting these draw
backs, he says that, all positions
considering the current Sooners
are the fastest team Dud Wil
kington has had down there,
and that they led the nation in
rushing offense and total of
fense. Adding everything uip
you gather that the team is ter
rific, but not terrific; that it
can win, but can’t win.
