Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT BY GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (A)—Jack Kramer finally quits hedging in the forthcoming issue of Sport magazine and says that he expects Frank Sedgman of Australia to turn professional after the Davis cup challenge at Adelaide next month and join him and others in a world tour. He also guarantees to kick the stuffing out of the young Aussie. "I think Sedgman will turn pro — make no mistake about that," declares the lanky Californiaan, who for some five years has been recognized as the king of the money players. "I'm sure the exciting news will break after the Davis cup matches are completed. "Yes, I think I can beat Frank Sedgman—and I'm eager to try it. In fact, every night I say an extra prayer in the hope that I'll get a crack at him. And I have reason to believe my prayers will be answered real soon." "The possibility of Sedgman turning pro has been given an elaborate airing in the newspapers in recent weeks. There have been the usual unconfirmed reports, rumors, denials and general verbal exchanges, but most of this traffic has wound up on a dead-end street. "This is easy to understand. Sedgman is committed to play in the Davis cup matches which get under way at Adelaide Dec. 29, and you can bet that nothing will happen to change his amateur status until the Aussies have the cup safely tucked away again." That would appear to be the bad news the Australians have been expecting to hear. They can't give Sedgman another wedding present to keep him amateur, as they did a year ago, and the World Tennis federation, though a most amiable body, probably would balk at a long series of "anniversary" purses. In outlining plans for his world tour, Kramer also makes it plain he is counting upon Ken McGregor, Sedgman's running mate, to take the big jump too. He writes: "My idea is to send Sedgman and the No. 2 Aussie, McGregor, against Pancho Segura and me in a 75-match tour to settle this international feud. It would not be an exhibition, like other shows in the past. This one would be set up on a dog-eat-dog, 'pay as you win' basis. The more you win, the more money you make." Roberts-Musial Head Sporting News All-Stars ST LOUIS, Mo.—Annoicing its 28th annual all-star team for the major league, the Sporting News today named a stellar squad headed by Robin Roberts of the Phillies and Stan Musial of the Cardinals, who were almost unanimous choices of 191 members of the Baseball Writers' association. Roberts, the Philly 28-game winner, was included in the preferred lineup of 184 writers, drawing one more vote than Musial. Stan the Man was chosen an all-star for the eighth time, putting him one back of Ted Williams and tied with Joe DiMaggio for the honor of being named most often to the dream team. Except for a close contest at third base, with George Kell of the Red Sox edging Al-Rosen of the Indians, the positions on the roster were filled without real competition. The other players se- Coast Quintet Meets El Camino Tuesday, Dec. 2 Orange Coast college basketballers get their first taste of intercollegiate play Tuesday night, Dec. 2 as they host El Camino on the Pirate hardwood. A 6:30 p.m. preliminary will pit the junior varsity teams of both schools together. Coach Miles Eaton will continue experimentations with various combinations. Bob Woodhouse and Hub White who reported late after hiting up their football tack may see some action as well as most of the other 16 squad members who have been working regularly since late in October. El Camino has an experienced club and should give the Pirates a real test. Eaton probably will go with Glenn Griffith, at center; Ron Quigley and Jim Cruisenberry at forwards; and Chuck Hasley and Don Carter or Armand Nettles at guards. Nettles has missed several practices and saw only limited service last week because of a heavy cold. Hunters Out in Record Numbers SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Predictions of a record number of hunters and fishermen in California this year are holding up, the state fish and game department reported today. Hunting license sales through October were $150,000 over the ten month period last year, with totals so far this year surpassing the million dollar mark. More than $3 million worth of angling licenses were sold by the end of October, department officials stated, with only $24,000 to go to equal last year's final total. Deer tag sales, at $326,000 for the January-October period, were $56,090 ahead of 1951 totals for the same period, they said. CINCINNATI UP—The Cincinnati Reds said today they will play drawing one more vote than Musial. Stan the Man was chosen an all star for the eighth time, putting him one back of Ted Williams and tied with Joe DiMaggio for the honor of being named most often to the dream team. Except for a close contest at third base, with George Kell of the Red Sox edging Al-Hosen of the Indians, the positions on the roster were filled without real competition. The other players selected for the infield were Ferris Fain, Athletics, first base; Jackie Robinson, Dodgers, second base, and Phil Rizzuto, Yankees, shortstop. With Musial in the outfield, the writers picked Hank Sauce, of the Cubs and Mickey Mantle of the Yanks, both of them selected for the first time. Yogi Berger of the Yankees won the backstop berth while Roberts' pitching partners were Bobby Shantz of the Athletics and Allie Reynolds of the Yankees. This mound trio accounted for 72 victories against only 22 losses, and had a collective earned run average of 2.41 for the 1952 campaign. Excluding the hurriers, the batting average of the team was only .298, reflecting the general decline in hitting in the major leagues and one of the lowest marks for any all-star team since the Sporting News began its selections. With four Yankees on the squad, the world's champions not only led all clubs in players chosen, but also helped give the American league a 7 to 4 superiority over the National league.

Irish Out to Upset SC in Traditional Game at South Bend; May be TVed SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP)—Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, out of contention for top national football honors, are preparing an all-out drive Saturday to topple Rose bowl bound Southern California from the undefeated ranks and be crowned the country's upset king. With the traditional contest a 57,000 sellout, officials of both schools have asked the National Collegiate Athletic association for permission to televise the game nationally, or at best on the west coast and Big Ten areas. The Army-Navy contest at Philadelphia is scheduled for national viewers Saturday. The NCAA permits only one country-wide TV showing each week. Notre Dame twice this season has knocked off previously undefeated powerhouses. The Irish upset Purdue, Big Ten co-champion, 26-14, and Oklahoma, Big Seven camp, 27-21. Early in the season they upset Texas, the Southwest champion and Cotton bowl host, 14-3. After Oklahoma, the Irish cooled off somewhat to lose 21-3 to Michigan State, the nation's No. 1 outfit. Last week they warmed up for the Trojans with a 27-crushing of Iowa. Notre Dame has six victories, two losses to Michigan State and Pitt, 22-19, and one tie, 7-7, with Penn to show for its toughest football schedule in history. This is the kind of spot the Irish like best, and one in which that old master psychologist, Coach Frank Leahy, can handle his squad with high upset feve... Southern California has won nine straight and is set for the Rose bowl against Wisconsin. Its last loss was to Notre Dame a year ago 19-12 as the underdog Lions Worried by Tricky Packers DETROIT (UP)—In between trips to a hospital, the Detroit Lions are worrying about a tricky, spread formation the Green Bay Packers own. The Lions, with nine of 33 players injured, battle the Packers here Thanksgiving day before a crowd that may hit 45,000. At stake: First place in the National Conference of the National Football League. The combatants are rolled up now in a four-way tie with San Francisco and Los Angeles, who play each other Sunday. DETROIT (UP) — The Detroit Tigers announced today they had signed Gene Neff, 20-year-old Kentucky basketball player, as an outfielder for a substantial bonus. The Tigers denied a newspaper report that the bonus was $30,000. Whittier Climaxes Rags-to-Riches Story with 46-7 Win over Redlands WHITTIER — A rags-to-riches story was climaxed last Saturday when Whittier College's Poet grid runner-up was defending chan Whittier Climaxes Rags-to-Riches Story with 46-7 Win over Redlands WHITTIER — A rags-to-riches story was climaxed last Saturday when Whittier College’s Poet griden overwhelmed Redlands, 46-7, in clinch the 1952 championship in the small but respected Southern California Intercollegiate Conference. Runner-up was defending champion Occidental, which beat Pomona-Claremont by 13-0 in the West Coast’s oldest collegiate football rivalry. Pomona ended the league competition in third place ahead of Redlands. Fifth was winless Caltech. Whittier’s championship, all the more remarkable in that it was accomplished with virtually the same ball club that won only two games out of nine last year, and more so in that it’s best 1951 back hasn’t played a minute this season, was the Poet school’s eighth in SCIG history. The nearest rival to that record is Redlands, flag winner five times and co-holder once. While en route to the top of the pack, the Poets defeated Occidental, 14-6; Caltech, 45-6; Pomona-Claremont, 28-14; and Redlands. The Oct. 18 decision over Oxy in each team’s first league encounter proved to be the game that settled the crown. Only against Pomona did the Poets turn in a poor league game, and this followed Whittier’s terrific upset of Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo. Whittier, a three-touchdown underdog, came on to lick the California Collegiate Conference champs by 42-20. Coach George Allen’s single-wing Poets have one game left to play, that being a visit this Saturday night to Presno to meet the loaded Preme State Bulldogs, losers only to COP and San Jose State. The other SCIG members have ended their seasons. DON’T GO NEAR THE WATER —This comes about as close to sports as Rosemary Clooney gets to the water in the photo above.
