Vander Meer Brooklyn Hero, St Louis Bum H Ntvtrthtksi Hurit Cincinnati Rods Team To Victory; Yanks Lot By RALPH RODEN Aaeoeieiee) Prat Sporu Writer A hero In Brooklyn, a bum In St. Louis and Just another pitcher to the fans in the other major league cities that's the thumb nail sketch on Lefty Johnny Van der Meer of the Cincinnati Reds. Here'i why: A hero In Brooklyn beat the St. Louis Cardinals. 6-1, last night to keep Brooklyn within a game of the leading Cards. Bum In St. Louis the triumph was Vander Meer's third of the year over the Red Birds who have beaten him only once. Just another pitcher to the rest of the league outside of clipping the Cards, Vandy has won only two other games, one against Philadelphia and a shutout over Chicago. Dodgers Beat Giants The Cards squared off against Vander Meer chuckling over the Dodgers' 101 beating by the New York Giants in the afternoon at Ebbets field. The smiles faded in the fourth inning. Vandy, who a werk ago tonight was belted for 11 hits In lest than four Innings by the Cards In a game that wound up In a 9-9 15 inning tie, yielded a run In the first and then slammed the door. The Reds, who had bowed 11 times and deadlocked the Car dinals once in their last 12 en counters, cracked Al Brazle for three runs in the fourth with the aid of two errors and were never headed. Three more Reds crossed home In the fifth to insure Vander Meer's 22nd triumph of hii career against the Cards. The Cards have beaten the Red lefty 15 times. Lefty Dave Koslo turned back the Dodgers, scattering nine hits while the Giants mauled Preacher Roe, Ralph Branca i.nd Rex Bar ney for 13 solid whacks.

Roseburg High Indians Drill For Medford Tornado Is Not Sold Short, Despite Vets Missing From Lineup By DAN MINDOLOVICH Newe-Revtew Sporu Write Roseburg Indians varsity foot ball candidates were busily occu pied in a two and one-hall hour intra-souad scrimmage and kick- off drill Friday afternoon at Fin- lay Held. Reports that Medford Black Tornado will field a club with only four men back from last year has not made Coach Cece Sherwood's team the least bit overconfident. In the two years that Roseburg has played Medford, it was the Black Tornado team that has done all the winning. The Med- fordites gain their football savvy In the trades. Some Roseurg play- era are still learning the funda mentals. Veteran Line Coach Sherwood can field one team with a line predominently made up of lettermen. With Don Parr at left tackle. John Rau- chert at left guard, George Pack ard at right guard, Chet Rowe at rtgnt tackle and Dale BiancK at right end, the line Is 71 per cent lettermen. This leaves the left end and the center slot the only positions not covered by experi enced varsitv men. Possible candidates for these posts are ends Greg Wadsworth, a newcomer to Roseburg, with some Jayvee experience; Frank Olson, Jayvee talent and Barry Kenny, who comes to the grid iron with a good recommendation irom tne Indians baseball team. On the right end. in addition to letterman Blanck, is Don El lis, a hard worker and an impres sive pass receiver. Center Spot Weak The center is another weak spot in the line, with newcomers uurwood Boyle or Howard Bur nett slated to flip the ball. The only other letterman line man is Glenn Scoficld, who may handle the tackling SDOt In Dlace of Rowe. Secondary backfield men In clude Mickey Coen, quarterback; jerry sconce, ngnt nan; Jim Mo Kinney, fullback and Lloyd Stumbo, left half. The above positions are. of course, subject to change without nonce. At tnts point, the only "sure-thing" is that there will be a game here with Medford Friday night. Sept. 16.

Stanford may be the team of des tiny in Pacific Coast conference football this season. With a few breaks It could wind up on championship heights. The cluh looks that good now. It has dash, drive, hitting power and the finest pass thrower since Frankie Albert sotithpawed tha team into the 1941 Rose bowl. Gary Kerkorian, up from last year's freshman squad. Is the lad who could pass Stanford to fame. It Is a big job to ask a green ppa to do but Kerkorian appears to have self assurance to spare, in spring practice he sidelined ex perienced quarterbacks. He runa the team as If It he longs to him. If he holds up under the fire of rugged competition, Stanford could once more take its place among western gridiron giants. Anyhow, the school haa Its best prospects since the war. Besides an improved passing game, it has belter receivers and more reserve material at most positions. Coach Marchle Schwartz., whose 1947 team lost all of its nine games but bounced back to take four while dropping six last sea son, was pleasantly surprised when Emery Mitchell showed up for practice opening day. Mitchell was on his way to stardom when he suffered severe injuries in last year's game with army. He is hack at fullback, fully mended, to give Schwartz a triple threater along with the other tal ent. Stanford, in fact, has three fullbacks. Tieh Kerkorian at quarter, another crack sopho more, Harry Hugastan, has grab bed off the left halfback spot. At right half will be Bob White, a rppular who easilv miffht outdo his teammates in ball handling.
