DALLAS, Oct 12 -4Jf) Matty Bell, who ofien disputes the tag
hung on him of Moanin' Matty, said today Rice wai jgoing to start
makinr him a good forecaster. The headman of Southern Methodist's
football forces, whose teams have lost only one; game;; in two and a
half seasons and won the South
west conference champ i o n h I p
twice, flatly predicted before the
season started that he would drop
four decisions.
SMU beat Wake Forest and Mis
souri but those guys must not have
counted. Now comes Rice to play
the Methodists here Saturday night
in s conference game.
"Yes, this Is going to be the first
of the four losses," quoted Bell to-
! h nrnfMuH Ia h worry
ing more about this game than any
other. "Isdon't see how SMll can
beat Rice, with that senior team. It
has speed, passing, running, jout-
weigns us, nas mucn more experi
ence, and the players made a pled
;"ge before the season started that
they were going to win the con
ference championship.'.

Trofa 16X4 Mix With Notre Dame Voted Topt
Speaking of the Southern Cal Trojano, who until the Blr Ten ;
teams got into the act were to the Rose Bol what the Yankees
are to a world series. 5t "experts' In their sunny clime recently
voted on what In their opinion was the most thrilling rame In
which the men of Troy have played. There have been some dan
dies over the years, as yea will recall. The outcome of the poll
placed the- 1931 rame at South Bend withNotrtf Dame on top.
That was the one decided In the final moments when Johnny Ba
ker booted a field goal to give the late Howard Jones' "Thnnder
ins Herd" a 1C-14 win. Next In line was the 14-14 corker of last
season, also with Notre Dame. Third was tho Rose Bowler of 1939
when Doyle Nave, called Into action from the depths of the fourth
string, pssaed four straight times to End "Antelope AT Kruger to
bring a 7-3 conquest over Duke. - . i
Far down the list, in 8th place, was the USC-California rame of
1933, played at Berkeley. For an unexpected explosion, this classic
wins the marbles in our book, for those titanirs wej have seen at any
rate. An inferior Cal team (on paper at least) had vied through most
of the four quarters, 3-0, on the strength of a field goal by Arleigh
Williams, Bear quarterback. The FG came on the fourth play of the
f ame after Cal had returned the opening kickoff to the USC 10-yard
inc. The Trojans then repeatedly rapped at the Cal goal line all af
ternoon, but wee held off just as often. That is,;-; until there were
about four minutes left tor play. '1
' '
Exploaion by Warburton Left Em All Stunned
then when It looked to all 9.000 In the stadium like the long
Trojan win binge was to finally end (It did soon after when Ore
gon State's "Iron Men" held I SC to a 0-0 tie at Multnomah stadl
n), up bobbed ta easily remembered towhead named Cotton
Warburton. The little 147-pounder had been knocked senseless
early In the first period, and after being cartedsff the field lay
under a heap of blankets on the sidelines until Tir Into the final
quarter. 5 I
When the Trojans got the ball on their own 35, a right nervous
Coach Jones called on the still dazed Warburton.; sent him in and
crossed his fingers. On the first play, a full spinner to the strong side
of Jones' power-laden single wing, Warburton was pilled for a two
yard loss. But Jo, on the very "next play, the same identical full spin
ner. Guard Aaron Rosenburg busted open a hole, iWarburton ripped
through it, danced by the line-backer, spun away ffom the onrushing
defenders of the secondary and escaped untouched to the goal line 07
yards away.'
A berserk. A-bomb could have done no more damage to tho
Memorial stadium cHeuta when Warburton aped into Cat's end
Bene'. So unexpected was that thrust that 79.099 of the 80.000 stood
ap. petrified and speechless for the rest of the game. It ended C-3,
and we hope never to see snother like Is. Fot one reason, we doubt
if we could stand It. . i j '
Opposition Forming Against Renetcal of Bowl Pact
An odd slant on the next Rose Bowl rriix, that is If Minnesota is the
Big Ten representatives; For it was Minnesota and f Illinois as the two
member schools which in the beginning "cast negative ballots for the
Big Ten-PCC five-year tieup plan that Has been ii existence the past
three seasons. The Golden Gophers, if they get byfOhio State Satur
day, might well be the 1950 Big Ten representative, as Michigan still
is ineligible after participating season before last! So you'd have a
team in Pasadena" January 1 which doesn't want to be there, if the
Gophers make it. But then the reluctant lUini Were there the first year
too, against UCLA. But they didn't act much like! they merely came
tor the ride, you'll remember. i ( .1 I ; ;'

Some Chances to be
Dyer Will Continue as Boss
Of St. Louis Cardinal Club
ST. LOUIS, Oct 12 -UPy Eddie Dyer will be back as manager
next year, but some player changes are in store for the St Louis
Cardinals if deals can be arranged. Owner Fred Saigh, still smarting
over the collapse of the Cardinals in the final week of the season that
cost them the pennant left no
doubt about Dyer's status.
"I am completely! satisfied with
Dyer, and he will manage the
Cardinals in 1950,'' Saigh said.
Although Dyer's two-year con
tract doesn't expire for another
year, there had been some specu
lation that he might be replaced.
The Cards lost out to Brooklyn in
the pennant chase by the narrow
margin of one game.
; Saigh disclosed he has already
sounded out four National league
clubs on possible player trades.
He observed it might be difficult
to arrange for trades since dther
clubs hesitate to strengthen a pen
nant contender. But the owner
expressed willingness to part with
front-line strength, perhaps a
pitcher, to get what he wants. His
talks with officials of the Giants,
Cubs, Dodgers and Pirates have
been only preliminary, but may
be resumed at any time, Saigh
said.
He did not name any of the
players he is after but said he
wants a catcher, a right-hand hit
ting outfielder, and an understudy
shortstop to provide some rest for
the veteran Marty Marion.
Amateur Fight

class but long on crowd-pleasing

Injuries Plague
Molalla Eleven
MOLALLA. Oct. 1 2-(Special )
With both Fullback Eldon Lone

tured skull and broken leg, re
spectively, absorbed in last week's
Silverton game, the list of injuries
continues to grow for Coach Ray
Reifs Molalla Indians football
team. Long suffered a three-inch
fracture when the helmet he was
wearing collapsed under pressure.
Klemp twisted his ankle so, badly
in the game it snapped.
Also on the Molalla Injury list

season with back injury; Lester
Reisch, back, out for two weeks

Prep for Tilt
By The Associated Press
The two hottest football camps
in the northwest, only nine miles
apart, were alive with battle
maneuvers again today as both
Washington State and Idaho went
through rough scrimmages for
Saturday's game at Moscow.
This week will mark the. 50th
time that the two teams have
met and veteran observers say
they could recall few times that
the rivalry has reached a higher
pitch. Gale Mix, general manager
at Idaho, said indications are that
a record crowd of 25,000 will be
in Neale stadium for the game.
Neither team has much of a
record this season but both have
been drilling for the game like
a Ro?e Bowl bid depended on

Cal Bears Still On Top
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12 -JP)- There was a slight break down
in communications this week but 'California's Golden Bears still
have the highest total offensive average In Pacific Coast conference

Idaho's 225 in three gsmjes, Oregon's 324 and Southern California's
318. Defensively, California held opponents to 173 ysrds per game,

Minnesota Center Tonnemaker
Selected as 'Lineman of Week'
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 12 -iJPj- A pleasant young fellow? whose
keen football sense puts him in the opposing team's backfield quite a
bit has been chosen as lineman of the week. Named In the Associated
Press' third poll of the season was Clayton Tonnemaker, Monnesota's
burly center. Chief rearon for,-
his selection was his play in the
nis selection was 111s " -ux
Northwestern game last Saturday,
won by Minnesota, 21-7.
It was Tonnemaker who
wrecked us in that first half,"
said Don Heap, assistant North
western coach. The Gophers led,
14-0, at halftime. Heao wasn't
exaggerating. In his line-backing
oosition on defense, "Tonny"
smelled out virtually every play
Northwestern tried and made
more than his share of tackles.
Outside of saying he was aim-'
ing at a professional football
career, Tonney didn't have much
to say. His hopes for a pro career
probably will be realized for, in
the estimation of Georee Svend
sen, assistant coach at Minnesota,
Tonnemaker is the "best pro pros
pect I've ever seen."
