New York’s Yankee stadium will be jammed replete by a frenzied mob of humanity today, as Brooklyn’s beloved “bums” haul their hickory bats and irrepressible morale across the East river to their first nickel world series in base ball history . . . with Joe Mc Carthy’s Yankee bombers. And from California’s Golden Gate to the slap-happy Brooklyn borough, the ears of millions of Americans will be pulled via radio to the scene of that historic struggle. After 21 years of vacil lating between the mud and the upper layer of putrid air lying dormant in the National league’s cellar, after having been made butts of outlandish jokes, “Lippy” Leo Du rocher’s lads have gained the highest pinacle in the senior circuit. Yankees Favorites JOE GORDON However, against the New York Yankees the Dodgers will probably stumble (George Kirksey, United Press columnist, tabs the'Yanks to do it in six games). Brooklyn’s dogged race down the stretch with Billy Southworth’s salary-hungry St. Louis Cardinals has undoubtedly sapped the formers’ energy reserve, making them more susceptible to the poison doled out by Yankee bats. Both New York and Brooklyn have played 154 games during the season, the Yanks having won 101, one more than their opponents. However, the Bronx Bombers won going away ... by 17 full games, whereas Brooklyn wound up a torrid chase with a mere two and one half game lead over St. Louis. This exhumes that omnipresent controversy— whether the Yanks have too much class or whether Na tional league competition is a darned sight tougher. You get riled up about it; I’m tired. Movies Scheduled Thursday night Oregon’s student body will catch a sneak preview of its 1941 football team, even before the Webfoots strut under the Kleigs in Hayward stadium against Idaho, fortified this year by Francis Schmidt, one of the country’s outstanding grid coaches, a proponent of hocus pocus play. Movies of the wild Oregon-Stanford game in Palo Alto last Saturday will be displayed in room 207 Chapman, with Head Coach Gerald “Tex” Oliver commenting on some of the more spectacular phases of the tangle as they unravel upon the screen. This is an innovation that has staying possibilities. Last year, when Oliver found an Emerald sports staff waxing irascible over continued secret practices, he issued a ... promise, of which this was a prominent feature. Herein lies a marvelous opportunity for students to snag a glimpse of the intricacies of one of the most fascinating sports, a sport upon which huge sums of money, time, and effort are expended, a sport that constructively affects the lives of e T°iry individual in the University. So without reserve, go oat and see them . . . room 207 Chapman hall, 8 p.m. Thursday. Incidentally, a great deal of the credit for inaugurating these movies should veer in the direction of Les Anderson and his rally committee, sponsors. You Guess Every Joe and Jane waltzing about the campus is busy wondering what would have happened had the final gun not intervened while the Webfoots were brewing a last, desperate play to toss against Stanford. With five seconds remaining and the ball in Oregon’s possession, a substitution halted the clock. However, while huddled, the gun popped finis. And hereby lies the sad tale. It seems a new ruling states that if during the final two minutes of play a substitution is made, the clock will be stopped but will resume ticking immediately upon completion of that substitution. What Oregon would have done had they the opportunity of running that last play is purely a matter of conjecture. Such might have been harmless or potent, witness U.S.O. breaking a 7 to 7 deadlock with Oregon State in the final 13 seconds of play farther south that same day. One can let his imagination run berserk on this kind of speculation. Hoop Practice Starts Six Lettermen Form Nucleus Of 1942 Squad Six lettermen led the small squad of fourteen in the initial workout of the 1942 bosketball team. Coach Hobby Hobson will stress fundamentals in the early stages of the practice. All-conference guard Porky Andrews, Jitterbug Paul Jackson, Archie Marshik, Rolph Fuhrman, Don Kirsch, and Warren Taylor are the lettermen returning from «last year’s third place team. Cliff Anet, brother of the great guard of the 1939 Alleycats re turns from last year’s squad to bolster the guard position. Walt Reynolds, 1941 reserve guard has decided to drop bas ketball in favor of his pre-med studies. Quentin Sidesinger, an other of last year’s squad, has de cided against playing this year. Wally Borrevik will be unable to play this season because of in juries suffered in an automobile accident last spring.
