popular question asked by tele

Yankees do today?" . . . Almost
inrarlably, folks want to know
how the champions fared before
they check, up on either the Tigers
or Indians.

should Detroit lose four of its
remaining seren games, fire of
which are with Cleveland, the
Yankees would hare to win
mine of their remaining 10 to
get a tie, . . Putting it another
way: The Yanks would hare to
win 10 straight while the Ti
gers dropped four of seren tor
the MeCarthymew to beat them
out.
Neither Detroit nor Clereland
can be figured to win the six-game
series between the. two, first half
of which began yesterday, by
more than a 4-2 margin. . . Say,
for Instance, that the Tigers take
four of the six games from the In
dians, and in between the two se
ries pick up at least one win from
Chicago In the two-game series
with the Chisox September 24-25
. . . That would giro the Tigers a
final standings' reading of 10
wins, 14 losses and a .584 percent
age, making It necessary for the
Yanks to win all 10 of their re
maining games to get a tie. . .

Keene to Find out Just
how Good Rookies Are;
Time Is 2:30
Spec Keene Is going to find
out Just how great nis "greatest
freshman football material In his
tory" Is today. '
The veteran Methodist mentor
Is putting the Willamette Bearcat
a qu a d through a full - length,
game-conditions scrimmage this
afternoon beginning at about
2:20, and the idea is to find out
Just how potent these first-year
pigskinners are.
While several of the large
muscled lads have shown to ad
vantage In skeleton drills, it yet
remains to be ascertained wheth
er or not they can stay In there
when the going gets-rough.
; Today's inner-squad t game Is
open only to Willamette students
with student body tickets, to news
men and to fans known to Bear
cat coaches and managers. The
'Cat headman is taking no chances
of scouts from rival grid camps
getting In on the preview.
The Bearcat boss let his charges
off easy yesterday, devoting most
of the afternoon to a continua
1 1 o n of fundamental blocking
drills.
That Portland U's Frank Ma
loney may not be the only quick
kicker on Multnomah field when
the 'Cata and Pilots meet next
Saturday was evidenced by the
fact that Keene had his punters
booting 'em from running forma
tions. Perhaps the Bearcat coach
takes literally the old adage,
"fight fire with fire."
