Idaho Educator Backs
Emphasis On Football
SAN FRANCISCO (IP) Dr.
Paul Pitman, president of the Col
lege of Idaho at Caldwell, is one
educator who does not believe thut
college football is being over-emphasized.
'
Speaking at the football writers
meeting here, Dr. Pitman said
"I support football because I be
lieve so tftoroughJy it can con
tribute to a man's educalion. Foot
ball makes a man a whole man.
He can find in himself depths and
potential power he never know he
had. Football can help a man to
discover himself. That's why I
support it"

"DiMag" Not Sure
He Will Retire
SAN FRANCISCO -OP) Joe
Dimaggio, giving every indication
he's played his last major league
ball game, nevertheless says he
won't make his decision final for
at least a month.
Then he'll tell New York Yan
kees boss Dan Topping, the eenter
ficd ace said as he departed yes
terday for a month's baseball
tour of Japan.
DiMaggio said he'd given his de
cision to Topping in New York last
week but the boss asked him to
think it over. So he agreed to
drop in on Topping after he re
turns from Japan.
DiMaggio gave no hint what he'd
do if he retires from his years of
stardom with the Yanks, as ex
pected. And he made it definite that he'll
not comment on other possibilities
until he's talked with Topping.
That goes for Bill Mulligan .gen
eral manager of Portland's Pacific
Coast leaguers, who wanted to
know if Joltin' Joe's available as
Beaver manager.
And for San Francisco Seal fans
who've been hopefully dreaming

club. Owner Paul Fagan put the
Seals up for sale recently. O'Doul's
contract expired with the end of
the past season, so colorful Lefty s

both Joe and Lefty in their home
town .where they've both been big
heroes for years.

Jayvees Down
Drain Gridders
In Tough Game
The present Roseburg high school
football picture may seem bleak
but a ray of hope for the future
began to glimmer last night at
Finlay field.
It wasn't so much the 30-18 vic
tory the Roseburg Jayvees posted
over Drain, but it was the way
they did it. There were many ob
vious flaws that would be expected
of a squad of youngsters, but there
was also that intangible fire that
makes or breaks so many squads.
Noticeable was that desire to win
and that thrill of competition.
These two factors, probably
more than any thing else, have
contributed to the immense im
provement of the squad this year.
Blocking and tackling were vi
cious and runners were never
stopped until their feet were churn
ing air.
Elder Scores
Monte Elder was a horror to
the Drain Jayvees when it came
to this never-say-die running. He
scored all of Roseburg's touch
downs and racked up close to 200
yards, including touchdowns
achieved after runs of 80, 53 and
37 yards. No one could halt his
flashing cleats once he broke into
the open Held.
Drain drew first blood on a
blocked pass attempt. End Bill
Henderson knocked the ball down
before the pass was away and Or
ville Withrow recovered to race
the last 20 yards for a touchdown
It wasn't long, however, before
Elder got through tackle for his
53-yard run to knot the score.
Then, Drain turned to an effec
tive passing attack that carried
from its own one-yard line ta a
second score. Star of this perform
ance was Jim Whipple, who was
hitting his receivers Ritchey Dun
can and Bill Henderson with amaz
ing regularity. He hit Duncan from
about 20 yards out for the score.
At this point, he had completed
11 of 22 passes.
Makes 80 Yard Run
Just before the half, Elder
slammed through the center of
the line and swiveled his way 80
yards to tie the score again.
The Roseburg pass defense tight
ened up in the second half soon
after a Whipple to Henderson pass
had paid off. From then on it was
Elder's show. He bucked over from
the two for his third score, caught
a 25-yard pass for his fourth in
the third quarter, and then spun
and faked nis way for 37 yards
to score his final tally in the fourth
period.
The most noticeable aspect of
Elder's runs, however, was the
spirited blocking that mowed the
field before him. Whether the
block was good or not, a blocker
was always in position.

Kentucky Coach
Defends Basketball
CHICAGO UP) ' Kentucky
Basketball Coach Adolph Rupp has
taken I slap at criticism levelled
against college players involved in
the recent cage tix scandals.
Hupp told the Herald-American
Quarterback club yesterday that
"it's time somebody stood ud for
basketball. . , ten million kids
have been playing basketball for
the last 58 years and very few
boys have strayed from the nar
row path."
Rupp, who coaches the collegi
ate squad which meets the Ro
chester Royals at Chicago sta
dium Friday night in the annual
all-star basketball game, called
for leniency in public opinion
against the fix players.
A Difference Exists
"The Black Sox threw games.',
he said. "These kids shaved points.
It's not fair to bracket them along
with that baseball scandal. There's
a difference in throwing a game
and shaving points."
The famous coach said he could
not condone the betting that
spawned the cage scandals.
"But here are New York papers
printing odds before a game," he
said. "If newspapers are allowed
to print odds for the benefit of
guttersnipes who infest the fringes
of sport, maybe we should check
up on some newspapers, also. Why
take it out on the kids if point
spreads are flaunted at them?
Why forever condemn a boy for
his one mistake of a lifetime?''

Reedsport, Drain Score
In Weekend Grid Battles
Only undefeated Reedsport and
county B champion Drain had a
happy story to tell about the week
end's county football activity.
The 'caliber of competition for
county teams this week doesn't
promise better things ahead ei
ther. For example, Roseburg runs
into another toughie in Cottage
Grove. Although the Lions haven't
won a game in the last four, they
have given some of the state's top
teams a rough tussle. Marshfield,
which plowed over Roseburg, 48 0,
Friday, could do not better than
beat Cottage Grove, 21-13. This
game will be Roseburg's second
nome contest.
New Leaders Named
Myrtle Creek, which lost a home
coming contest to Phoenix Friday,
stays home again for a battle with
once-beaten Myrtle Point. The
Bobcats, who only fell to Marsh
field, 18-6, are currently vieing
for top honors in district 7-A-2.
Sutherlin, the olher county 7-A-2
entry, hosts Central Point in a
JDJ league contest. The Central
Pointers are the new leaders in
the southern sub-district of dis
trict 7.
Reedsport takes on its second
intersectional foe when it hosts
Marshfield this Friday. Both teams
are undefeated and both teams1

Roosevelt of Portland was the
only other team to receive a vote

Bears Meet Strongest Team In USC
By RUSS NEWLAND -
SAN FRANCISCO (."PI Notes
from the Northern California Foot
ball writers meeting:
Coach Lynn Waldorf, California:
"the game with Southern Califor

We will be up against the strongest
team yet. It is the best defensive
team on the coast and the strong

"Our scout Nibs Price has seen
USC in all its games. He is im
pressed with it. Their offense has
not reached its peak but they have
an explosive air attack.
"Dpn Robison nd John Papp.i,
our first two left halfbacks, will
not be available. They were hurt
in the Washington State game last
week. Robinson has a pulled rib
muscle. Pappa chipped a bone in
his elbow and will be out for
four weeks.

"We need a lot of work on de
fense this week. Defensively we
did not play well against WSC.

Officials Arrest
Basketball Fixer
After Long Wait
NEW YORK VP) Joseph
Benintende, 42, was arrested last
night in connection with an a 1
leged attempt to fix a City college
Bradley university basketball
game.
Benintende, a Manhattan resi
dent, had been sought since he was
indicted on a bribery charge on
Aug. 17.
He was arrested at La Guardia
field as he stepped off a plane
from Boston.
Last August's indictment by a
Manhattan grand jury accused
Benintende of offering $10,000 to
all-America Gene (Squeaky) Mel
chiorre of Bradley to lose the game
with City college at Madison
Square Garden.
Authorities said Melchiorre
turned down the offer.
Others Indicted
Melchiorre, two other Bardley
players, Benintende and seven
other asserted fixers were named
in this indictment and five others
charging various counts of bribery
and conspiracy.
Four of the indictments dealt
with a consolation national invi
tation tournament game between
Bradley and Bwoling Green c o 1
lege of Ohio at Madison Square
Garden in March, 1949. .
The other indictment concerned
a Bradley-Manhattan college game
of Jan. 12, 1950.
Last night's arrest was the latest
action in a gambling scandal that
hit college basketball last Janu
ary. Thirty-one players have been en
meshed so far from six big time
college teams Bradley, Toledo
City College of New York, Manhat
tan, Long Island university and
few York university.
In most cases, players were not
asked to lose games, but to keep
their winning margins within the
limits necessary for the gamblers
to win their bets "on points."
Brown Bomber
Will Keep Trying
POMPTON LAKES, N. J. - (JP)
As long as either Jersey Joe
Walcott or Ezzard Charles is
heavyweight champion, Joe Louis
will keep on chasing after the
golden crown.
The old Brown Bomber made
that clear today as he resumed
practice for his Oct. 26 ten rounder
with undefeated Rocky Marciano
in Madison Square Garden.
Asked how long he intended to
keep in fighting, Joe pounded his
gloves together and said "as long
as either Walcott or Charles i s
champion, I'm going to keep on
chasing.
Don't Know How Long
"I don't know how long that's
going to be, but I'll be waiting.
"I'm going to stick around while
either one of them is champion. I
can beat them.
'Of course if some 23-year-old
kid comes along and wins the title
somehow, then I guess I'll have to
call it quits," said Joe with a
grin. '"'Cause then, by the time I
get a shot, my grey beard will be
hanging around my knees,"
Louis was 37 on May 13. Wal
cott turned 37 on Jan. 31 accord
ing to the record books but there
are many in the business who be
lieve he is past 40. Age is creep
ing up on Charles, too. He reached
the 30 mark on July 20.
Louis defeated Walcott in both of
their clashes and was badly beaten
by Charles in their single meeting.
