One is the "maybe-T." It's Coach Kexie Howell's variation of the popular T formation. The other is new only at Idaho. The big schools have had it for years. It's rough, tough football players clear down to the third string. Idaho has had good football players in many years, but not enough of them at one time. This year, 28 lettermen are back, plus some hoys held out of play for seasoning. An indication of the unaccus tomed depth is Howell's com ment, "we've got 10 backs that will see lots of play this year." Sportswriters tagged the name "maybe-T" on Howell's new of fensive set up. That suited him. He says, "maybe it'll work, may be It won't." The "maybe-T" will be fitted In with his standard formation the Notre Dame box. In It, the quarterback squats where he can take the pass from center or let It go directly to one of the other barks. Howell Isn't cocky about his team. In fact, he isn't sure what it will do. "All I know," he said, "is that I've got two teams that can get out there and butt heads for an hour without making a dent in each other. We'll know toon enough what we can do." The Idaho scoring punch will lean heavily on ttiple-thi eaters Johnny Brogan, quarterback, and Rob Mays, left halfback. Neither man weighs ISO pounds, hut both can run, throw and kick. The Dichl brothers, Ted at quarter and Jerry at half, add speed and power. Top speedsters are Bud Riley and Cilen Christian, both halfbacks.

Tor- totoi. football Takes Limelight In Nation's Sport (By Th AMOclated Preal College football crows into the national sports scene tonight and tomorrow. While the big autumn show doesn't get rowing full fiirnac until next week, the rah rah boys will have some major games to enthuse over. Foremost of these will be the Pacific Coast conference tussle between Ore gon State and U.C.L.A. tonight in huge Los An;;eles coliseum. The contest figures to be a mystery match lor both sides, as each is green and untested. The L'clans, who managed only three victories in 10 tries last year, will have Henry (Rod) Sanders, formerly of Vanderbilt, at the coaching helm. Other prime action tonight will see St. Mary's playing host to Oregon at San Francisco and Furman visiting Georgia's bull dogs at Athens, Ga. A highlight of Saturday's aft ernoon play will be the Texas Christian-Kansas embroilment at Lawrence; Kansas. After bowing to the Texans In last year's oijener. 14-13, the Javhawks reel ed off seven consecutive tnumps before losing their final two games. The Pacific Coast dominates the remainder of the afternoon card. Utah will play at Wash ington: Santa Clara at California; Utah State at Washington Stale; and San Jose State at Sanford. All are non-conference affairs. Duquesne of Pittsburgh will go south and tangle with the Deacons from Wake Forest. Two a'ter-clark contests will send two southern and eastern elevens Into the southwest. Wil liam and Mary travels to Hous ton, while Villanova college of Philadelphia clashes with Texas A & M. Block, 183. will probably get the starting calls at fullback. LEAGUE LEADERS (By The Ansociatrd Prui NATION AL L Mil t: Rflttinf KbinMn. Brooklyn. .347. Slaughter. St Loui.

SEPT. 17 Yanks Beaten 10-6 As Lead Is Narrowed Casey Stengel's Tactics Draw Criticism From Critics Of The Game By JOE REICHLER AuocuUed Pru Kporl. Writer The second guessers society, kept conspicuously quiet this year by the sound baseball tactics of Casey Stengel, has finally come to life. The members of the S.G.S. are pointing their fingers at the vet eran manager of the New York Yankees, accusing him of pulling a couple of "rocks" yesterday that cost the Bronx Bombers an important game. How much more those "lapses" will cost the Yankees will not be determined until the season's close. But yesterday they helped the Cleveland Indians to defeat the Yankees, 106, which cut the New Yorkers' first place margin over Boston to two and a half games. Stengel at Fault Stengel's critics point out that Stengel was as much at fault in yesterday's loss to the Indians as Pitcher Allie Reynolds or the lour players who committed five errors which gave Cleveland five unearned runs. The S.G.S. is asking why Sten gel ordered Reynolds to issue an intentional pass to Larry Doby in the eighth inning, thus forcing Allie to face the ever-dangerous Joe Gordon with a runner in scor ing position? And why didn't Ca sey yank Reynolds during that hectic eighth when the Tribe slammed him for four straight hits and five runs after two were put? Gordon Dougles Here is what happened In the fatal eighth. The score was 3-2 In Cleveland's favor. Reynolds walked Dale Mitchell to open the inning. Lou Boudreau sacrificed but Mickey Vernon flied out for the second out. At this point, Stengel ordered Reynolds to walk Doby for Gordon. Larry had hom ered in the sixth to snap a 22 deadlock. Gordon, an ex-Yankee, prompt ly doubled to left, scoring Mitch ell and sending Doby to third. Hohy Kennedy singled to score two more. Thurman Tucker fol lowed with another one-bagger, hut Stengel gave no sign to his bull pen brigade. Jim Hcgan ac counted for another run with the fourth straight Cleveland safety. When Outfielder Gene Wood line fumbled the ball, Tucker scamp ered across the plate with the fifth run of the inning.

Writer The Pacific Coast league stretch race today is back in the neck-and-neck stage. Chief reason for some is that San Francisco is more neighborly to Oakland than Los Angeles is to Holly wood. The Seals made it two In a row last night over the league leading Stars. Big Cliff Melton bore down in the clutches for a 3-2 win although Hollywood nick ed him for 11 hits. The Seals, meanwhile, were able to collect only five bingles off Willard Ramsdell and John Roy. The Oaks walloped the Angeis for the third straight time. Oak land exploded for six runs in the sixth and went on to win 12 to 5. Billy (The Kid) Martin climaxed the big inning with a grand slam homer. Hal Saltzman of Portland cop ped win No. 22 as his Beavers pounded four San Diego pitchers for 13 hits and a 9-5 win. The Beavers hit three homers and the Padres two in the free-hitting contest. Max West's grand slammer was his 46th of the year. Sacramento's Orv Grove yield ed but six hits in pitching the Solons to a 6-1 victory over Seat tle. The Rainiers' only run came on Neil Sheridan's Hth homer. He later was banished for kick ing his glove when Grove struck him out in the eighth.

(Red I Sanders of UCLA, from Vanderbilt, and La Verne (Kipl Taylor, last year assistant coach at Michigan State. UCLA has been generally pick ed as a 7-point favorite a se lection that amazed some critics as much as it did Sanders. Oregon Slate blanked the Bru ins, 28-0. last season, and returns this time with some of the same veterans who were in on that shellacking. Included are 23 let termen. headed by Ken Carpen ter, one of the best and most under publicized Backs on the coast; Fullback Dick Twenge; Rudy Ruppe. who was shifted from quarterback to end when Taylor installed his tricky ver sion of the single wing at Cor vallis. and several stout members of the line. Sanders, replacing Bert La Brucherie, found some seasoned talent aboard the Bruin roster, notably scat back Ernie Johnson, who is expected to provide most of the offensive punch. The visitors have a slight weight bulge in the line but are about even for backfield pound age. Kickoff: 1:30 (Pacific Standard Time.)
