If they can find a suitable replacement who can handle the job even on a part-time basis, WI directors likely will oust President Brown at the next meeting, in November.

After Johnny Cherberg's opening losses to Colorado and Michigan, the latter to the tune of 50 0, the question comes up, "Who'll be coaching football at Washington next year?" They're death on losers up there, but we imagine the likeable Cherberg will be given another year or two in which to build up his legions . . . Incidentally, in a recent pre-season banquet speech at Seattle, ousted Husky Coach Howie Odell made the statement, "Cherberg should win the Coast championship this season." Ouch-... Have a bit of pity for Lee Gustafson, the Viking coach, Not only does he have to pound the sideline, sweating out the ball games, but he also can't help but hear the SHS Band, directly behind him in the stands, blaring away with its newly added tune, "Mighty Ore gon." Lee is an Oregon Stater by football blood-line, and winces very time he hears the band go into action . . Ukea Cameron a 'Quadruple9 Threater Vic Kelley, UCLA's top tub-thumper as director of the Bruin athletic news bureau, warns that fans taking in the UkeOregon game at Eugene Saturday will see in Paul Cameron one of col legiate football's foremost "quadruple" threaten. Usually the Sat urday afternoon whiz-bangs are labeled triple-threaters. Not so with Cameron, the six-foot and 190-pound Burbank, Cat, lad who for the past two seasons has gained All-Coast honors. Cam eron paces the UCLA attack with his running, passing and punt ing. He also calls the signals, the fourth item in his offensive ability. On defense he plays safety, which is unusual for a play er of his size. Football safety men are ordinarily small scat backs who can nut like t striped-back ape and cut on a dime giving eight cents change. As for Bruin Coach Red Sanders, he's said to have the only true single wing team in the Coast Conference. Which means that the Ukes stick with that style of offensive play and nothing else. Sanders is in his fifth season at UCLA, and over the four-year route to date his teams have finished second in the PCC derby three times and third once. The pickers have him tabbed to go all the way this trip . . . Favorites Nab Opening Wins In Willamette Valley Action In all but one exception the favorites came through their open ing round Willamette Valley League football clashes in expected fashion.

No Decision On Brownies By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK l The American League club owners failed to come to a decision on what to do with the St Louis Browns after a meeting of more than three hours Monday night and will take up the problem again Tuesday at 4 p. m. (EST). Thus for the second straight night, the club owners couldn't de cide what to do with their problem child. "So far we have made no deci sion on the sale of our stock." said Brownie President Bill Veeck. The question seems to have have boiled down to the' two of fers that have been made to Veeck for his stock. Although Baltimore was turned down in the first meet ing Sunday night, the city appar ently has come back into the pic ture. Los Angeles is the other big candidate. "St. Louis is definitely out of the picture." said President Will Har ridge of the American League. "The league is not interested in operating the Browns in St. Louis. We have definite buyers for the Browns and we hope to accom plish something by tomorrow. "We are not considering any one particular city. We are first trying to negotiate for the purchase of the franchise." A Baltimore group headed by at torney Clarence Miles is reported to have offered to buy the stock from Veeck for $2,236,000, while Los Angeles money men have said they can raise two and a half mil lion doUars immediately and up to six million dollars within 10 days. Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees, is the guiding hand behind the talk of moving to the West Coast. He has admitted that he wan,ts to see the American League on the coast, but never definitely has committed himself to' Los Angejes. SCOPES Game, MOORE BUSINESS FORMS.

The Ducks, 7-0 losers to Stan ford Saturday at Palo Alto de spite outplaying the Indians, face the Rose Bowl hound UCLA Bruins next Saturday at Eugee. Oregon State goes to Seattle to play the University of Washing ton Huskies. Coach Red Sanders' Bruins have notched easy wins over Oregon State and Kansas this season and will go to Eugene highly favored to spill the Oregon team. On the other hand, Oregon's fine showing against Nebraska and the fact that the Ducks out played Stanford 1 giye team fol lowers hopes for a major upset in the Eugene game. Oregon State dropped one sided games to UCLA and Cali fornia to start with, and will be up against a Washington club that has also received its lumps in two starts. The Huskies were downed by Colorado and smeared by Michigan, the latter by a 50-0 score. 14 of Spokane Team on Block SPOKANE OH Fourteen play ers were offered for sale Monday by the Spokane Indians, but owner Roy Hotchkiss said the move does not necessarily mean the end of Western International League base ball here. Hotchkiss said nothing definite has been done about Spokane's WIL franchise for next year, and most of the players put on the block can be replaced with new talent He did not name them, but said nearly all will go to leagues of higher clas sification. The Chronicle, however, describ ed the sale offer as "the first step toward liquidation" of the WIL club. Hotchkiss said before the end of the WIL season that poor attend ance would force him to dispose of the Indians. A 12-man Chamber of Commerce "save baseball" com mittee, has been created in an ef fort to keep the franchise here. v. i Linf ield Next For Wolfpack MONMOUTH (Special) The Oregon College of Education Wolves, young but willing, next play the Linfield College Wild cats Saturday night at McMinn- ville. Coach Bill McArthurls freshman-loaded Wolfpack in two games has defeated Southern Oregon and lost to Pacific U. Linfield has two losses, to 'Whit worth and College of Idaho.

By JACK HAND I ;n NEW YORK Mi Carl FufiliS, -injured Brooklyn 'outfielder, was pronounced ready to go after a " full scale batting drill Monday and Carl Erskine of the Dodgers and ' Allie Reynolds of the New York , Yankees were named to pitch Wed- nesday's World Series opener. : . " Furillo, still wearing a heavy ban dage to protect the broken little finger he got In his scuffle with Leo Durocher, Sept. 6, hit the ball hard while Erv Palica dished up a variety of pitches. Carl's bat had a sponge rubber padding where his left hand gripped it "He's swinging just the same as ever, said Manager Chuck Dres- sen after watching the National " World Series Lineup:, New York Brooklyn McDougald, 3b Gilliam, 2b Collins, lb Reese, ss Bauer, rt Berra, c Mantle, cf Woodling, If Martin, 2b Snider, cf ' , Robinson.

"He'll be ready, may be without the pad and bandage." The Dodgers crowded around the . batting cage earlier to watch Fu rillo swing against Joe Black's of ferings. Later he had a 15-minute individual drill with Palica throw, ing as hard as he would in a regu lar game. Furillo wasn't the only ball play er on the doubtful list. The Yanks' Gene Woodling, regular left field er, also used a padded bat to cush ion the shock to his swollen left hand. Woodling hurt the hand run ning into the left field railing about two weeks ago. The back of the hand still is sore. Woodling slammed two balls into the right field seats to prove that he also will be ready for the open ing bell. i "I don't know how his hand will feel tomorrow," said Manager Cas ey Stengel "but I expect him to play. Billy Martin played a month with a bad thumb when we 'were on our 18-game winning streak." Dressen said he would leave Gil Hodges on first base even if Furillo should be forced out. Originally he had talked of playing Hodges in right in an emergency and Wayne Belardi on first. , ' ; If Furillo goes out, either) Don Thompson, a lefthander hitter, or Dick Williams, a righthander bat ter, will take over the right field job. . I Stengel, as usual, reserved the right to change his batting order if he wished. He had 101 different lineups during the regular season; a record, even for Casey. "It wouldn't be an upset if I switched, would it?" he asked with a wink. Stengel surprised nobody by nam ing Reynolds to work the opener and lefthanded Eddie Lopat for the second game. He said the third game choice would be either Vic Raschi or Whitey Ford. Most every body agreed Raschi would get the call for the No, S game at Ebbets Field Friday. Erskine, the Dodgers' only VP game winner, had been a sure shot for the starting job for weeks. Dres sen hopes to use him three times. -Preacher Roe will hook up with" Lopat in an all-southpaw battle in the second game. Dressen won't decide about the third game pitcher until he sees how the first two end.
