One can do amazing things in atnieucs wnen ne nas em, ana ti S ' 7" BOB REED too often can't do a drop when he hasn't got 'ern i.'. . One of the na tion's foremost football forecast ers, one "Pigskin Pete," selected the Oregon State Beavers as team No. 50 in the pre-season picks. His "batting average" already has fallen to flub-dub level on that one. . . . On the other hand, II H. Gregory the veteran. Oregonian writer in his Monday address dur ing the c-commerce luncheon here tabbed the 1-2-3-4 Coast confer ence teams as California, Oregon State, Washington and. UCLA in that order. Which means that Ore gon State will be the Rose Bowl representative inasmuch as Pappy Waldorf's Golden Bears are now ineligible . for i another Pasadena trip. Not unlike many others, in cluding us, Greg feels that Wash ington's Husky cannot be of cham- chin ralihr without Its DaSS- fiinpinz. siemal-calling leader Don Heinrich. Reason why Greg picks Pal as the 1951 winner can De blamed on the old athletic adage, you've got to stick with the cham pion until he's licked. . . . Incidentally, Greg pegs Oregon for an eighth Vace finish because of the youth and inexperience on the Web foot lub. . . . Mike Balkovic, the onetime Willamette U grid great and now back in the Army Air Force stationed at Portland Air Base, was tell ing us the other night that the new Air Base football team may do an el foldo before the season is out Mike helps coach the outfit Youngest major college football coach in the nation must be Stanford's Chuck Taylor. He's only 31. Which is a frightful age in which to start a crop of ulcers., ... j - j j U Plenty of Irishers on Fighting Irish Team 1 Not only has Notre Dame blossomed forth with a brand new surprise in Frank Leahy's "l" formation the four backs are lined up one behind the other at right angle to the line when the ball Is snapped but she truly can call her warriors the "Fighting Irish" this year. Sixty per cent of the squad is made up of players of Irish descent. Among the Gaelic monickers are Callaghan, Carey, Kelly, McCarthy, McHugh. Morrissey, Murphy, j O'Brien, . O'Hara. O'Neil, Riley, Shannon and Whelan. Yea, an begorra. ...

You may be hearing plenty of this kid on the cindered oval a couple of years hence - h U ' I , . ' - - 1 - ' I - ' i . i " San Diego Padres Buy Bud Peterson Also I Another addition to Bill Starr's apparent youth movement at San Diego is Shortstop Buddy Peterson, as good an all-around ball player (disposition excepted) as there was in the WIL last ' season. Like Sal DeGeorge and Dick Faber of the Salems, Bud was purchased on a 30-day look basis by the Padres, another step in Suit's efforts to rebuild the San Diegos. ; j " i Padre Owner Starr comes into the local baseball scene in another capacity also. Senators Board Prexy Don Young; is doing a spot of worrying these days for fear that Starr will take on Hugh Luby as the new Padres skipper now that Del Baker has Walked the plank. Starr is known to be rather fond of Luby and his ;ability. Young and the board made a try at signing' Luby for the 1952 season when Hugh was last in" town a. -few days ago, but failed. The Senators bossman wants to wait awhile, as he may be able to land a managerial post in higher class baseball. Which would be okeh with Young and associates, for they do not wish to be in the way of any possible advancement for the gent who did a whopping good job with the local nine last summer. I Stockholders Shouldn't Forget Big-Meeting ? ( "Of course if he doesn't get a better job we surely do want him back again," quoth Young. "And If he does; take another job he has. promised us that he will help us rind a capable! replace ment." j . ij j j I : All of which brings up the reminder jof the Senators Stockholders' meeting a very important item week after next. Secretary Russ Bonesteele will soon give the time and place of (the powi wow that vill see the election of directors for 1952, and will! pass on to the .800 odd stockholders the actual financial status of their favorite baseball 3-Run Sock in Bottom of 9th Hands Diirochers in Over 5-4 W Story-Book Shocked Brooks enterprise. i I ' The meeting wUl be held either October 1 or 17, and' all stockholders should make it a definite! point to attend.

By Will Grimsley ' i NEW YORK, Oct S-ChRalph Branca sat on ithe steps, eyes wet, bis head buried in his arms. Manager Charley Dressen paced the floor like a nervous lion. Big Don Newcombe moved around, silently and aimlessly as if trying to figure out a reason for it all. ! i The others sat on the short, three-legged stools in their dressing room, eyes boring holes through, the floor. ; None spoke, i The room had a funeral quiet about it These were the men. of Brook lyn, .wondering what ' they had done against destiny to make des tiny treat iem so. ' "It wasn't a bad pitch," said Branca ' in a low, smothered breath, while commenting on Bob by Thompson's game-winning ho mer. "It was a high curve ball. I didn't think he hit it too welL It was sinking when it went into the stands." . r- ' Branca relieved Newcombe, who had pitched . magnificently for . eight innings to carry, his mates just a breath away from the cham pionship. j Asked if he had wanted to stay in the game, Newcombe said: The manager is paid to thtnV. He can think, bettor than I can. He makes the decisions. I'll stand by them." Dr Ten said Newcombe was tired. 1 By Gayle Talbot : NEW YORK, Oct 3-(JP)-In as heart-stabbing a finish .as baseball ever saw, Bobby Thomson slammed a three-run homer into the left field stands with two mates aboard in the ninth- inning to give the New York Giants a 5 to 4 victory oyer Brooklyn in the third and de ciding game of their playoff for the National league pennant at the Polo Grounds today. - ; ( j i . . ! The tremendous blow, one of the most valuable ever struck, came with one down in the final chapter to electrify a crowd of 34,320 which had been resigned to a Dodger victory only minutes before. I Few madder scenes ever have been seen on the diamond than that put on by Manager Leo Durocher's men as the Flying Scot trotted around the sacks behind Clint Hartung and Whitey Lockman after he had powdered ' the second pitch thrown by Ralph Branca, Dodger reliefer. The great j bsw climaxed the most spectacular pennant dash in the game and sent a club into the World Series which had been 13 games out of first place as recent ly as Aug. 11. Giants supporters will concede nothing to their ser ies rivals, the Yankees, after what happened today. Bums Rally in 8th Until Thomson teed off to send the crowd into hysteria, the Giants never had been ahead in the belli game. They had tied the count at 1-1 briefly toward the end, but had promptly been reduced to the depths of despair as the Dodgers rallied for three runs in the top of the eighth and apparently put the decision beyond question. Going into the ninth, big Don Newcombe had ; shackled the Giants with, four hits and poured his fast ones acrosj with what looked . like increasing effective ness. Then Alvin Dark, shortstop and field captain of the new league champions, rapped the husky Ne gro for a scratch single off Gill Hodges glove at first When Don Meuller followed with a solid shot to left which sent Dark scampering around to third, Manager Charlie Dressen had a talk with Newcombe, but decided to leave him in. His . judgment seemed justified. Monte Irvin, the Giants' most dangerous slugger, lifted a pop foul to Hodges. Mueller Hurt r- " 'i That brought UP the left-swinging Lockman, and he smashed a hard double off the left field bar ricade to bring Dark home and put the tying runs on the sacks. Muel ler twisted his left ankle sliding into third and was carried out to the clubhouse on a stretcher. He passed 'Branca, victim of the Giants' triumph in the first play off game, as the latter came in to pitch to Thomson. Thomson previously had collect ed two of the Giants' four blows off Newcombe, one of them a double, in the fifth. He had ap peared tn a fair way toward be ing the goat of the contest when, after singling in the second inning behind a hitby Lockman, he had torn on ! to second only to find Lockman standing there and; had been tossed outt Also in Brooklyn's big eighth the speedster from Staten Island had not been alert on a grounder by Andy Pafko to let a run In and help keep the rally alive. In other words, Bobby had something to make up for when he strode up there and "looked Branca in the eye. He let the first one, a strike, go by. On the next he swung from his boot tops, and from the crack! of the bat there was never a doubt that the game was over (Cont'd next page) CARR FOR PETERSON CORVALLIS,!
