Bucky Harris ot \V ashingion anu Stengel leaned toward Cleveland as “The Team to Beat" but A1 Lopez, new Cleveland boss, thought he would have to beat the Yanks to win. Frisch Sees Five Clul>s Frankie Frisch of the Chicago Cubs and Billy Southworth of the Boston Braves figured the National a five-club scramble with St. Louis and Boston also involved. Most of the others predicted a Phil-Dodger Giant struggle. The comments include: American League Casey Stengel. New York—“I 'lave good players and we have the right attitude. They like winning and I vcpect to win again. Cleve land looks very good to me and should give us the most trouble. I Haven't seen the Red Sox but I know they'll be tough." Steve O'Neill, Boston—“I think we have a good chance. It will be a close three-club race among Cleve land. New York, and Boston with ^ Detroit having a chance if they can i get pitching to make up for the joss of Houtteman. I hope we will do better on the road.” Lopez Gunning for Yanks A1 Lopez, Cleveland “I'm not too well acquainted with the league after being away three years but I think if we beat the Yankees we .an win the pennant.

Bud Woodward went over for one touchdown for the winners. Dave Mann, up from the rooks, scored the other. A 93-yard punt return by Bill Anderson, another ex-rook, gave the Blues their only touchdown. The losers picked up three more points when Clarence Womack .blocked a punt for a safety. 3 Webfoots Recovering From Hurts Coach Jim Aiken's Webfoots went through a light workout Mon day night, emphasizing blocking and passing. Three men were on the injured list although none were ser iously hurt, and all should be back in action soon. In Saturday's scrimmage, full back Ron Lyman sustained a shoulder injury, while freshman guard Howard Allman hurt his knee. Fast-stepping Tom Edwards has not scrimmaged at his halfback post for the past week due to a bruised toe. Aiken hopes to gain valuable knowledge from movies taken of Saturday’s Hayward field ^scrim mage. Norm Van Brocklin was also stationed in the press box to check plays for ineffective work. Coach Aiken mentioned backs Ted Anderson, who scored three touchdowns. Tom Novikoff and Don Sloan as having run well Satur day. Sloan showed himself to be a passing threat as he rifled a 30 yard southpaw toss for a touch down off a fake end run. Less spectacular, but equally im portant to next year's hopes were good performances by Left Tackle Mike Sikorra, and Right Guard Em mett Williams. Aiken says he hopes to have at the end of spring practice a nucleus on which to add promising fresh men wbo may come to Oregon. He intends to stand pat with T-forma tion plans in favor of any prospec tive single wing because of the cur rently favorable passing quarter back situation. He has fast develop ing sophomores Hal Dunham, regu lar at the end last season, and Norm Fenton, 1948 frosh signal-caller and late of Aberdeen JC.
