PENCIL PUSHER'S PARADISE PERFECT OROOIUW. AGi RECORDS SET BY KAZMAIER START TO FALL Figures Fete Flock's Flippers By HAROLD C. BI RR The Dodgers have their own miracle man. He's Alan Roth, the careful and thorough statistician of the Brooklyn club. Mr.

Roth has come up with 10 valid reasons why the National though his mark was the lowest in the loop." Carl Krskine and Billy Loes were tied as Brooklyn starters with 2.70.

"Thus in 76 games Brooklyn opponents were limited to three runs or under and four runs or less in 101 games." It makes a highly interesting and enlightning group of statistics. He digs deep for his golden nuggets of wisdom. Maybe the Dodgers have no need to trade for that outstanding pitcher. Their spikes of clay may be hidden elsewhere in the deceitful little statistics.

"Everything I set down Is the simple truth," concluded Alan Roth in an-wer to the skeptics. "Some ofothe Muff 1 unearthed surprised me. But it was a pleasant surprise." Y't it shouldn't have been ton great a shock. After all. the 19 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1952 League record books already are toppling.

They have examined carefully every tailback for the necessary traits. Yet when a Kazmaier record falls, a fullback is the culprit.

The 7 Penn So Brooklyn riirl exeeedingi 'NOVEMBER BLACK-OUT There will be no college forftball game in New York City this coming Saturday but no outraged wails from the citizenry concerning this state of affairs have reached this corner. The populace seems perfectly content to watch the men of Georgia Tech and the men' of Alabama smear each other all over the television Fcrjeen in their living room. Either that or to forget about the sport altogether. Columbia, New York University and Fordham move out of town in separate bodies this weekend and the chances are-that they'll do as well financially as they would if they played at home.

Around here, it's just as if nobody cared. Last Saturday, there was just one college game in New York and the Fordham-Clemson combine could not have asked for a better break in the weather. Still only fi.OOO fans turned out to watch them and please do not give me that guff about the Triborough Stadium on Randalls Island being inaccessible. If customers had really wanted to see the only game in town they easily would have found a stadium that is a five-minute bus ride from the E. 125th St.

station of the I. R. T. There were two games in town the Saturday before. Cornell played Columbia at Baker Field and because there almost as many Cornell alumni around these parts as there are Columbia grads, the old wooden stands on the northern tip of Manhattan Isle were two-thirds filled with customers.

Meanwhile, Fordham was playing Detroit at Randalls before another crowd of 6.000, indicating that this is i just about par for the Triborough Stadium. So far then, the month of November traditionally the peak of the football season has resulted in "crowds" of 34.000 for three college games on two Saturdays in the largest city of the land. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO "With a view toward contrasting present-day conditions with the way things used to be, your agent turned back to the files for 1937, which as just 13 years ago, there were four New York schools engaged in football schedules of more or less major importance. Then as now, Lou Little operated at Columbia and one of his brightest stars, Sid Luckman, ran and passed for the Lions. Sleepy Jim Crowley had his famed seven blocks of granite in the Maroon of Fordham and the Rams enjoyed wide acclaim at the Polo Grounds.

Dr. Mai Stevens was coaching N. Y. U. and the violent Violets were doing all right indeed at the Yankee Stadium, Manhattan College, which dropped football with World II and wisely perhaps never resumed the game for the television era, operated at Ebbets Field under Chick Meehan.

This was a far from ideal situation a team called Manhattan, which actually is located in the Bronx, playing in Brooklyn. And yet the Jaspers of that era prospered to a higher degree than most football-playing schools of the present day. They did well enough to bring in teams from the South and the mid-West. It seems odd now iftlf true of the teams Manhattan beat in 1037 was Michigan State, which this year is rated as the No. 1 football power in the country.
