Split season idea from Bryant rattles college game planning
Alabama coach Paul Bryant proposes a split grid season with three spring games in Birmingham Tuscaloosa and Lexington. He says such spring matchups with Auburn Ole Miss and Kentucky could each net about 300 000, and the revenue could fund teachers salaries and school buildings while noting current NCAA limits on regular season and spring practice.

New Manager Sparks Cardinals Losing Streak Ends
Johnny Keane, in two weeks as St. Louis manager, has revitalized the Cardinals into a hot National League club. He reshaped the bullpen, gave regular duty to Sawatski Taussig Cunningham and Flood, and restored confidence in Jackson Broglio. The team cruised to a 3 2 win over the Giants for its fifth straight and 10th win in 14. Julian Javier’s return and Bill White’s 14 hits helped, with steady pitching by Broglio Simmons Gibson and Jackson. Keane says it’s early to judge Broglio’s form, but the club now has momentum toward a potential third-place finish next season.
