Sports Roundup From A Busier Season Page
New York reports Dick Wakefield traded to the Yankees for a first base type, leaving Detroit to pursue Frank House as a $75,000 bonus catcher who may struggle to hit in the Central league. Red Rolfe expects House to improve with time if he avoids dropped balls and steals. Johnny Wooden profiles a fast Pacific Coast JCI basketball team heading to the Garden. Dave Siedolph staged a stunt shipping Grand Coulee dam water to emulate what Cougar players drink in New York. The annual New Hampshire football banquet notes seniors Alphie Swekin and Gus Gilman visiting Pat Felcoski, who faces graduation with coaching duties ahead. Missouri meets Maryland in the Gator Bowl under Bon Faurot’s fourth bowl bid and split-T intrigue. Minor hockey delays and rinks at Chisholm and Virginia, Minn., pivot to clothing manufacturing. Kentucky’s Orange Bowl cost threat looms at about 17,909 dollars for intermission changes spurring tighter scheduling.
