Greenberg counts Feller and Rosen out of Cleveland's plans
Cleveland General Manager Hank Greenberg said at a luncheon that pitcher Bob Feller should receive a nonplaying job with the Indians by season's end. He also indicated third baseman Al Rosen might be better off playing elsewhere as he has lost confidence. Rosen, 31 next March, is batting 269 this season in his eighth year with Cleveland, while Feller, 38, is in his 20th year and just returned to start after four months, taking his only complete game this season in a 5-3 loss to Boston.

John Drake Returns to Jayhawk Lineup After Injury
Kansas coach Chuck Mather reshaped the lineup as John Drake, 214 pound senior tackle from Cassaday, was back in drills and immediately placed on the left tackle of the red alternating unit. Drake and Tom Russell anchor the tackles while Don Martin and Jim Letacvitis start at ends on the starting unit as KU prepares for TCU. Wally Strauch, a top passer last season, may miss the TCU game with a knee injury though he reports strength gains. H C Palmer sits out briefly with a hip issue as the staff seeks almost equal ability across alternating units.
