Sweet lome I Huskies at nnett
Field last night. 27 to 13, in a Dis
trict a-A-I encounter. .
The ' defending State Champion
locals had their troubles getting" a
concerted drive going, but their
explosive long distance attack was
more than the out-manned Huskies
could cope with. However, the
visitors gave Salem fans many an
anxious moment .with an accurate
passing attack which scored one
TD, set up another, and nearly ac
counted for a third as the game
ended.. 1 .. '-- " - '-.
The Saxons gave their rooters
little to cheer about until late in
the firsts period they suddenly
struck ior the first of three six
pointers in less than a four-minute
period. I Jim McDonald, vet
eran halfback for the winners,
supplied the spark that exploded
the Souths into the lead as he
romped 41 yards to the Sweet Home
two. Larry Thompson snuck over
for the tallyi two plays later. Lee
Rosen's placement was wide andj
with one minute left in the quar-
ter the count read 64. ,
A Salem recovery of a loose ball
on the ensuing kiekoff set up the 1
next scoring thrust, starting oil
the Husky 34. On 'fourth down
Thompson hit Jack Scott with- a j
30-yard scoring pass and the con
version by Loren Blaco made it;
13-0, with 11:41 left in the half, i
A minute and : 12 seconds later
Thompson passed to Dale Jones
on the enemy 45 and the lanky
flankman went all the way to com
plete a 68-yard gainer.
The Husky first half venture in
to scoring territory resulted from
a 29-yard pass from Royce Mc
Daniels to End Arnold Courtney.
Incidentally, McDaniels and his re
lief. Jerry Donah threw 27 passes
in all. completing 13 for 182 yards. L

Part Company
CHICAGO (ft Frank Lane, dy
namo of baseball's trading marts,
and the Chicago White Sox parted
company Friday as Lane's feud-
brewed resignation as general
manager was r- "regretfully" ac
cepted by the club.
Immediately, ' strong speculation
had Lane all set to sign as general
manager of the St. Louis Cardin
als in the rival National League.
But neither. Lane nor Cardinal of
ficiala would confirm this, ;
Sox; president, Mrs.-" Grace Com
iskey.j accepted Lane's resignation
after seven bustling years of pro
lific trading and rebuilding without
any reference to the bitter rela
tions between Lane and her , son,
Chuck Comiskey. 29-year-old Sox
vice president. .. -
Lane's present Sox contract had
five more years to run at an esti
mated salary of $50,000 annually,
pegged on base pay- and attend
ance m bonus. For the past ' five
years the Sox. have drawn more
than one million fans.
There apparently was no coinci
dence between Mrs. Comiskey 's
freeing of Lane from his contract
and the Chicago appearance of the
Cardinal president, August Busch,
for a! speaking engagement before
the Chicago Executives', Club.
Busch denied a report in The
New j York Herald - Tribune that
Lane' was verbally committed to
join the Cardinals and needed only
to sign a formal contract as gen
eral rnanageri
"Under baseball rules we could
not cpntact Mr, Lane' said Busch.
"We will not contact him. We think
he is a great baseball man and we
are always trying to improve our j
Club.' . , I ;
After Lane's release was made
public, Busch added that "With
this jinformatibn I certainly win
bring up the matter with club offi
cials; to see if they are interested,
but I don't know whether Lane
is interested in the Cardinals.
