Then there were the non-physical hurts involved in Harv Storey's
untimely sacking at Vancouver and the resignations of Don Osborn
at Spokane and Brenner at Lewiston. We've an idea that Brenner
timed his withdrawal to accompany the news that Storey was fired
and Dewey Soriano had been moved up in the Seattle Rainers family.
Brenner came within a short whisker of getting the Vancouver man
agerial post last winter. If he hadn't already signed his Lewiston
pact a few days before, he would have been hired at Vancouver. It's
a good bet that hell now move to Vancouver, where he's very well
liked. . . . But the beatings taken by all those mentioned during the
campaign don't hold a ten-cent candle to the one absorbed at Cal
gary. The Stampeders stampeded less than 30,000 customers into
their Buffalo Stadium for the entire season, and lost the sum total
of $72,000 in their first whirl at professional basebalL You'll recall
that Calgary, along with Edmonton, was to have drawn like sixty
as a new WIL entry. Turns out that sixty was closer to the average
per-game attendance. ...
Elma Elm Wind Up at Washington
Little doubt as to where Gary Nelson, the 7-foot, 1-inch bask
etballing "Elma Elm finally wound up. And it wasn't at Oregon
where he at one time pledged allegiance. The kid registered at
' Washington. Brother, won't he be a popular Item when he visits
Eugene with the Husky hoop-suiters? ... When in Spokane re
cently to play the Green Bay Packers, Coach Jumbo Joe Styda
har issued a quote to newsmen. The team we Chicago Cardinals
would like to beat most of all is Green Bay." A -week later in
: Portland, wher the Cards were to play the LA Rams, Stydahar
told newsmen, "The team we like to beat most of all is Los An
geles." Not so dumb, that boy. . . . And by the way, what hap
pened to all the feuding and fighting Stydahar was supposed
to do with LA Coach Hampton Pool during and after the Port
land game? Betcha it was done in a hotel room after the clash,
with cocktail glasses at three paces as the weapons.
The Seattle Rainiers must like the way in which Dewey Sori
ano dresses, or combs his hair. They certainly couldn't have brought
him up as their new GM on the basis of his recent ojeration at Van
couver. His Caps didn't win either half of the pennant race, and
( get this) drew only 70,000 for the season, almost 15,000 less than we
did here. Vancouver is a city with a population of well over half-a-million
folks, you'll remember. We predicted when Soriano landed
the Vancouver job that it was merely a stepping stone for him
that the parent Seattles were actually grooming their fair-haired
boy for the varsity berth one day. We didn't expect the day to get
here so soon, however. ...
Silverton Eleven Boast Fine Record
One of the best win records among the high school football
feams is owned by Murl Anderson's Silvertons. They've lost but
once in their last 16 trips, over a span of three seasons. That
lone setback to Mt. Angel last season, cost the Foxes the Wil
liamette Valley League title.
Speaking of the preppers, it's too early to tell if the village
Vikings are in the have or have-not class this semester. Neither
Cleveland of Portland (Sacked 21-0 by Lee Gustafson & Co.) or
Astoria (bombarded 40-0) are indexed at toughies. The big tests
will be against Stan Czech's Albany Bulldogs, Dick Twenge's Cor
vallis Spartans and Bud Robertson's Eugene Axemen. The Albany
crew plays Salem at Waters Field next Friday night, and what to ex
pect of the Vikings for the balance of the season can be gleaned
from the outcome of that clash. ...
Leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to beat Notre Dame
next Saturday, the U of Oklahoma has even turned to a plea to
Sooners rooters, via radio, to pitch in and help. We happened to
pick up Station KOMA in Oklahoma on our car radio the other
night, and the announcer gave with a spiel: "AH you football fans
in Oklahoma be sure to write a letter or card to the Sooners team,
letting the boys know how much you want to see them beat Notre
Dame."

Carl Erskine of Brooklyn and south
paw Eddie Lopat of New York ap
pear to be the likely starters in
the fifth renewal of the Dodger
Yankee World Series which will
get under way a week from Wed
nesday at Yankee Stadium.
The odds-makers already have
established the Yankees as 13-10
favorites to make it five straight
world championships.
There is little to choose between
the two championship clubs but un
doubtedly the odds-makers remem
bered that the Dodeers have been
beaten tour straight times by the
Yankees in the fall classic.
Winning world championships has
become a New York Yankee habit.
It decidedly is not a Dodger custom.
Over a stretch of 32 years the Yan
kees have triumphed in 15 of the 19
World Series in which they have
appeared including 14 of the last IS.
On the other hand, the Dodgers
own a perfect World Series record
six for six all losses. They were
beaten by the Boston Red Sox in
1916 and Cleveland Indians in 1920
before engaging the Yankees ex
clusively as October playmates.
Experts give the power-packed
Dodgers the best chance they've
ever had to finally overcome the
Yankees.
They point to such long distance
clouters as Roy Campanella, Duke
Snider and Gil Hodges not to men
tion league leading hitter Carl Fur
illo and the ever-dangerous Jackie
Robinson.
A man-to-man comparison of the
series rivals favors Brooklyn but
not by as much as the averages
and home run totals would indicate.

(Continued from Prec. Page)
The initial Nebraska score may
have scared Oregon a bit. Any
way, the Ducks from the West
Coast flew right back with a touch
down on the third play after the
kickoff.
Sprinter Ted Anderson, who car
ried the ball just once in the first
half, got it from 56 yards out. He
broke fast over the middle and
then turned on the steam to go
over untouched. Shaw converted
and it was 20-6 at the half.

Nebraska in the fourth period.
Glenn Berry bulled through and
blocked the very important try for
point, leaving Nebraska eight points
behind.
One more big threat came from
Nebraska.
The home club got down to the
Oregon 32 and on fourth down, a
peculiar play popped up for the
31.000 fans. Nebraska passed. The
ball was hit by an Oregon player,
then caught on the bounce back
by Oliver on the 18.
But the whole thing was nulli
fied because Nebraska had an in
eligible man downfield and the ball
went over to Oregon along with
the game for certain. :

Gives Littler
Amateur Title
OKLAHOMA CITY () Gene
Alec Littler, a taciturn Navy air
man from La Jolla, Calif., who
never had a golf lesson in his life,
won the 53rd National Amateur
Championship Saturday by sinking
an 18-foot birdie putt on the final
green for a 1-up victory over Dale
Morey of Indianapolis.
There have been few more dram
atic finishes in this aged fairway
event than the one provided for a
tense gallery of 4.000 at the Okla
homa City Golf and Country Club.
Apparently hopelessly beaten aft
er his game had collapsed on the
first nine holes of the afternoon
round, the steel-eyed, leathery Mor
ey rallied his nerves and his shots
for a finish that almost overtook
the highly favored youngster from
the West Coast.
At 23, Littler, who has 15 months
more to serve in his four-year
Navy hitch, is one of the youngest
ever to win this championship.
Francis Ouimet was 21 when he
won back in 1914. Bobby Jones won
his first of five crowns at 21 in 1924
and Billy Maxwell was the same
age when he triumphed at Saucon
Valley, Bethlehem, Pa., two years
ago.
