Bend Lava Bears Next for Unbeaten Vikings Tkm Stdwman, Salem, Or, Tuesday. Sept. 23, 18539 npi TVr 9 Hp I DA,tY AND SUNDAY 1 he Illations lop Comics . Your Home Newspaper ! Salem High's undefeated foot ball team went back to work Monday to prepare for their next ame, with the Bend Lava Bears at Water Held Friday night. Coach Lee Gustafson'i Viks, win ners by a 14-13 eyelash over Al bany last week, and only because Mike Campbell waj able to break loose for two dazzling runs in the last five minutes of the game, will be after their fourth consecutive conquest in the Bend mix. ,; : For the past few seasons Bend managed to give the Salems one of their toughest annual tussles. It isn't expected; to be any dif ferent this trip despite the fact that the Bears claim they have their weakest team in a number of years. - SUn Blair, former Lewis & Clark College player, is the new coach of the " Bears, succeeding Bud Robertson, who ia now at Eugene. Although the Salems at times looked both offensively and de fensively sharp in the Albany game particularly in the first quarter they made many, many mistakes that must be cor rected if they are to be distinct district title threat. The Salem ends were vulnerable to wide running plays at times, pass de fense was spotty and pass pro tection for Quarterback Herb Triplett was poor. Also, there were far too many fumbles by the Salem backs. ; Gustafson and his staff will have the outfit working on these deficiencies this week. More pro tection for Ray (The Toe) Tay- ior, one of the heroes of the Albany game, is also necessary. It was Taylor's ninth consecutive placement of the season that won the Albany game after after Campbell's rousing romps. ' Following the Bend game the Salem have 1 two road engage BLONDS By CHZC YOUNG ments, at Sweet Home October 9 and at Gresham October 16.

BT I SUGE MISS ) I fll tU ( HERE COME THE )l I iTHArLUljij Notre Dame " Leads in poll Spartons Second; Maryland Third 'By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK m Notre Dame ran away with the honors in the first weekly Associated Press poll of 1953 to determine toe 10 best college football teams. The Irish, third place winners in the final tabulation of 1952 but easy winners in a pre-season elec tion two weeks ago, snared 71 of 98 first place votes following the 28-21 victory over Oklahoma on Sat urday. Michigan State, proud na tional champion of a year ago, slipped to second in the balloting after being held to a 21-7 triumph by Iowa. Notre Dame garnered 907 points on the basis that 10 points are given for each first place, nine for second and so on until only one Is given for tenth place. Michigan , State with six firsts, was second with 692 points. While the sports writers and broadcasters agreed on the strength of Notre Dame and Michi gan State they showed no agree ment "the rest of the way. Forty four different teams registered points. .The top two were followed by Maryland with 501 points. Michi gan with 403. UCLA 391, Ohio State 380. Southern California 346, Okla homa 316, Georgia Tech 242 and Baylor 188. The Sooner showing against Notre Dame was so strong that the club was voted eighth place although defeated in its only start this season. Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame, who said he was pleased with his team after its triumph, was quoted in late summer that the club would be lucky to make a first down this fall. It made 11 against the Sooners and yielded the same number. This weekend Notre Dame plays Purdue, beaten last Saturday but always a rugged" foe for the Irish. Michigan State takes on Minnesota, Coach Biggie Mann s alma mater, A second contingent of ten teams was made up, in this order, by Mis sissippi State, Duke.

Mates Aid Vernon's atting Title Sid for B By HERB ALTSCHTJIX WASHINGTON tfl Mickey Ver non won his American League bat ting championship - by dint of his own hitting, but you wouldn't go wrong if you credited his team mates with a slight assist. That assist came Sunday in one of the xamest combinations of base Rosen Missed i 3-Way Croivn By One 'Foot CLEVELAND. Sent 27 Al Rosen's foot missed the first base bag on the last play of the season Sunday. That kept him from winning the three - wav battine crown of the American League RBI s home runs and batting average He had the RBI and homer titles in his erase, but he needed to catch first baseman Mickey Vernon of Washington in the averages. Vernon ended the season witn .33717. Rosen batted .336. It was the bottom of the ninth, two were out, and it was Rosen's last chance. He had singled in the first, doubled in the third, hit in to a force-out in the fifth, and beat out a bunt in the seventh. Al Aber, a former Cleveland Ditcher, served three straight balls, then Rosen fouled on lour straight. On the final pitch, he bounced a rather slow grounder to Jerry Priddy, who was playing deep at third base. Priddy moved a few feet to his left and fielded the ball. It looked as though Rosen had beaten the throw to first, but when his foot missed the bag he made the last out of the season. If it had been a single, his av erage would have been .33722. The 28-year-old sacker with the powerful arms took the RBI crown last year with 105, becom ing the only American Leaguer to drive in 100 or more runs in three seasons through 1952. It has been six years since any one won a three-way title in the American League. If he had mare it this year, Rosen would have been the seventh major leaguer to turn the trick. Rogers Hornsby did it twice and so did Ted Williams. The others were Ty Cobb, Heinie Zimmerman. Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig. For Cobb and Zimmerman the RBI totals were unofficial, as there was no official RBI tabula tion until 1920. ,'"A SALEM JVi WIN Salem JVs; taking a lesson from the senior Vikings, whipped the Albany Juniors, 12-0 in a football game played at Albany Monday afternoon. Bill McDonald, running out of the right half position, scored the Jayvees first TD on a 12-yard scamper. Jim Norval broke over tackle in the second quarter for 60-yard gallop and the second score.

The Washing ton Senators performed yeoman work in seeing to it that Vernon came to bat no more than four times. Vernon started the day three per centage points ahead of Al Ros en, the Cleveland third baseman who was finishing with a later sea son rush. Rosen went 3 for 5 in a game against Detroit and ended the season at .3355. Vernon, who became the first Washington player in history to win the batting title. twice, stood at .3371 on the strength of a 2 for 4 showing as the game with Phila delphia neared its end. Had he come up and gone out, he still would have won the champion ship by a thousandth of a percent age point, but two more times up could have proved disastrous . to him. Vernon made the last out in the sixth inning and with the A's in front by a comfortable margin (they fon, 9-2) he would have come to bat once more if Washing ton had left one man on base in the final three innings and twice more if the Senators had come through with a big rally. Well, Vernon appeared at the plate no more. Here's what happened: Grasso socked a double in the eighth and then proceeded to wan- Qer off second base. A pickoff and Mickey was out. Pinch hitter Kite Thomas led off the ninth with a single and the slow-moving Thomas was an easy target as. strangely, he tried to make a double out of bis poke. Eddie Yost, who possesses one of the finest batting eyes in the ma jors, then swung at a pitch way over his head. . Pop up. Pete Runnels, who precedes Ver non in the batting order, took a half swing at a pitch. An easy play for the second baseman and the game was over. Carolina Triumphs COLUMBIA, S. C. W Heavily favored South Carolina was stalled by The Citadel for the first half here Monday night before piling up the score in the second half for 25-0 victory. Flashy running by right halfback Carl Brazell and neat passing by quarterback Johnny Gramling and Carroll Lewis spelled the scoring difference between the two teams. Circuit Start Next for Cats Still looking for their first win after two starts, Willamette U's young and uncertain Bearcats are next confronted with their opening Northwest Conference football clash the coming Satur day night at Caldwell with the College of Idaho. The conference race got under way last weekend with the Coyotes, coached by former WU assistant mentor Sam Vokes, tak ing an easy win over Linfield. It was unbeaten C of I's second straight win of the young cam paign. Willamette has dropped nods to College of Puget Sound and Western Washington thus far, the former by a 14-0 margin, the latter by 26-13. The Coyotes will be heavily favored to wallop the WU'i in their clash of this week. Duden Blisters Par at Roseburg ROSEBURG tn Bob Duden.
