dent told a member of the R-G staff who is not associated
kith sports, that at least two prospects, Saunders from
lorthBend and DeWittfrom Reedsport, are not coming here
Itcatise they have been snubbed by Tex Oliver.
Llhu could be true in the case of Saunders, but we Know the
ort ii false in the case of DeWitt because we happened to be
hesent in McArthur Court when Tex met the all-around athlete
bom Reedsport after his basketball team had played the Ducklings
k i game at the Igloo. Because of that fact, we feel that more than
Italy the Saunders report is also untrue..
Now, on the eve of the start of tne 1848 football season, the
undwriting is on the wall. Already the students are talking about
I ompaign to get rid of Tex which would be a hollow victory in
aim ol the probability that Tex will not be interested in renewing
lis contract with the Webfoots next fall; win, lose or draw!
In Portland for the National F.G.A., we couldn't help but come
contact with numerous Oregon alums who have been perpetual
jKlIyachers" in the Oregon sport front for a long, long time.
Maybe the Webfoots need to clean house at the Igloo from the
ristodian to the graduate manager. We feel, however, that the re
f venation of the athletic pocture must start outside the confines of
cArthur Court the alumni organization and the athletic board as
starter, we have never found the athletic board either competent
progressive. desDite their wartime intimation that they were
fanning "big things" for postwar athletics. We have found precious
w loyal Oregon alums.
Itdoesnt require a grammar school diploma to know that in
laity there is strength. There is no unity in the alumni association,
sne ainietic board or the nrhltin ripnartment. Our conceDtion of a
f jal alum is one who will boost his school s athletic teams regard
Ira ol their record. At the end of the season, if the performance of
Ike team did not stack up to expectations, then is is the time to
fKommend to the "powers that be" a change in coaching personnel.
ne cnange is not made, the alum should stiu be loyai or at least
a iirempt to tear down the alma-mater.
Despite predictions matin hv various Pacific Coast Conference

PORTLAND GOLF CLUB,
Aug. 21 Gentleman Jim Ferrier,
the Australian writer who was
forced to turn professional six
years ago because of his literary
work, gave an example of his
book "How to Play Golf" here
Tuesday afternoon. The San Fran
cisco kid who was ruled out of
the U.S.G.A. in 1940, fired an
amazing 29, six under par, on the
outgoing nine with six birdies and
three pars and came home with a
34 for a record-breaking 63.
Needless to mention, the 63 and
his sub-par 71 of Monday com
bined for a 134 and medalist hon
ors in this 28th national P.G.A.
championship golf tournament.
The agrgegate also shattered the
tourney qualifying mark set in
1929 at Los Angeles bv Fred Mor
rison and tied in 1938 at Shawnee,
Pa., by Frank Moore. Both had
136 s. Neither man. however, won
hte title. The 63 tied the course
record established last year by
rsen Hogan when he captured the
Portland Open.
Harrison in Second
Ferrier beat out Dutch Harri
son, leader at the halfway mark,
by two strokes when the Arkans
as slugger finished late with a 70
to go with hi: initial 65 for a 136.
Hoga.n, who fired 69 Tuesday and
a 68 Monday, was third with 137.
Chick Harbert, one of the first
day hotshots with a 68, added a
70 for 13-: and fourth place.
George Fazio of Los Angeles, who
had the second best score Tues
day with a 67, took fifth place in
the medalist competition with an
even 140. There were seven oth
ers who had 141, five with 142
and ten with 14327 with aggre
gate sub-par scores.
The 64 players who qualified
for Wednesday's "sudden death"
18-hole daily double matches were
required to score close to par
148. There were seven of them
with that score, just filling the
required bracketing. It was the
first time in the memory of Fred
Corcoran, PGA tournament man'
ager, that there has been no
necessity for a playoff to fill the
64 berths in match play.
McSpaden Shoots 67
All of the "name" golfers made
the grade. Jug McSpaden, who
was on the b orderline Monday
with a 75, roared over the final
route with a 67, tying Fazio for
the second best score of the. day,
to easily qualify. Jimmy Hines
needed the 66 he' fired Monday,
coming in with an 80 to make the
test by two strokes.
Medal scores mean nothing now,
Match play will pay the dividends
for the $3500 top prize offered in
Bob Hudson s popular tourney,
Each one of the qualifiers will
collect $100 fro mthe $25,000 purse
posted by Portlands Mr. Golf,
' Wendell Wood, Eugene Country
Club pro who faltered with an 82
Monday, after a "fireman-save
my-child" call Sunday from the
PGA moguls to fill the field, play
ed a beautifully sound game
Tuesday with a sub-par 71. There
was nothing sensational about
Wood's game, but he could have
been a tourney surprise had five
putts that missed by hairlines
dropped for birdies. His only bird
came on the 375-yard sixth where
his tee shot found the rough. With
the ball on a sharp slope and
more than lO yards from the
green, his seven iron dropped 12
feet from the pin and he holed
out for a three the same hole he
birdied on the first round Monday.
Wood "hit the green.' on 17 oi
the 18 holes with the required
number of strokes. His only fail
ure came on the'- 'ghth when his
iron hooked and landed in the
lefthand sandtrap. He blasted
within ten feet of the hole and
caned a difficult curving putt for
par three.
Nelson Gets Deuce
Al Nelson, another member of
the Wood threesome, made the
most sensational play of the tour
ney's second day. One hundred
yards from the spectator-ringed
ninth rreen he took'a seven iron
and gobbled his second shot for an
eagle duce. Nelson, from Ponte
Verdra, Florida, shot a 35 3974
as against Wood's 34-3571. His
73 for the first 18 holes gained
him one of the match-lay berths.
The other member o'. the three
some, Henry Garletts of Yakima,
faltered with an 85, coupled with
an 81 for the first day's test.
Toney Penna of Cincinnati
came close to Al Nelson in the
matter of. oddities. He shot into
the creek on the tenth and it cost
him a stroke to get out, but ne
holed out his spoon shot for a
birdie four.
Sixteen players will come out
of Wednesday's opening day of
match play, and then they will
tour 36 holes daily, the semi
finals to be played Saturday and
the finals Sunday. '
Defending Champion Byron
Nelson, showing no 111 effects from
an ailing back, eliminated Frank
Rodia, San Diego, 8 and 7, in the
first contest of match play today.
Nelson was six up at the turn,
winning six holes and tieing on
three. He then won the 10th and
finished the match on the 11th.
Plavine in championahlp form,
Nelson toured the out-going nine
in four-under-par 31.

Brooklyn Lead
Cut to V2 Game
By JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Brooklyn stands in dire need of
a fiery pep talk from cheer-leader
Leo Durocher today with its Na
tional League lead shriveled to a
half game after absorbing a 10-0
pasting from the rejuvenated
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Stories that the last-place Plr
ates were putting on a closing
surge to save their jobs under the
new owners had been accepted
with a grain of salt. But since
Frank McKinney, Bing Crosby
and associates bought the Pitts
burgh franchise, the Bucs have
hustled to seven wins in 10 games.
With seven more games against
the Cards and four more with tile
Dodgers, Pittsburgh could very
well prove the decisive factor in
the championship battle.
Nick Strincevich, who lost his
first ceven starts in 1946, shut the
door in the Brooks' faces, allowing
only four hits. The Pirates climb
ed all over Vic Lombard! and
three successors.
The Cardinals lit into Johnny
Niggling for a 4-1 verdict over
the Boston Braves. ,
The Chicago Cubs gained
ground on both Brooklyn and St.
Louis by whipping the Phillies
twice, 5-2 and 10-2, but lost Sec,
ond Baseman Don Johnson with
a fractured left hand.
New Yof'k advanced to within
a half game of the slumping fifth'
place Cincinnati Reds with a 4-3
decision engineered by Dave Kos
lo with home run help from
Walker Cooper and Goody Rosen
nullifying a workmanlike effort
by Harry Gumbert.
Boston's pennant-bound Red Sox
divided-a pair with the lowly St.
Louis Browns but stretched their
lead to 14',2 games over New
York with only 35 to go.
Jim Bagby grabbed his fifth
win in the opener, 5-1, and Ellis
Kinder of the Brownies fashioned
his first major league success in
the 5-4 finale with relief help
from Tom Ferrick. Teddy Wil
liams bashed his 33rd homer.
Both Cleveland's Bobby Feller
and Detroit's Hal Newhouser fail
ed in their attempts to hit the 22
win mark. Feller bowing to Wash
ington, 5-4 and Newhouser losing
to Philadelphia 2-0.
Randy Gumpert's eight-game
win streak was snapped by Chi
cago as Ed Lopat turned back
New York, 9-2, before a Yankee
Stadium crowd of 33,989. Joe Di-
Maggio collected his 20th homer
in the seventh frame.

Ed Brauner's Reds need a win
tonight to stay in as undisputed
Cascade leaders, as a loss would
throw them back into a first place
tie with the Hills Creek Billies.
Both teams field several heavy.
hitters, the Lumbermen boasting
the two top swatters in the circuit,
Lou Kotnik and Eddie Adams.
The Reds have the reliable Barney
Koch as their leading hitter, with
Johnny Dunn and Dick Bishop
also hitting at a heavy clip,

Idle Seals Boost Lead
As Oaks Lose to Stars
(UNITED PRESS)
The San Francisco Seals found
out today they don't even have to
take the field to lengthen their
lead in the Pacific Coast League.
Thanks to the Hollywood Stars,
the idle Seals added a half game
to their first place edge Tuesday
night when Jimmy Dykes' crew
downed the second-place Oakland
Acorns 2 to 1 at Oakland.
The Oaks' defeat boosted
Francis J. (Lefty) O'Doul's men
5 Mi games in front of the pack as
the Seals prepared to open a
series with Los Angeles, which
also was idle Tuesday night.
In other games, the sagging
San Diego Padres dropped a 3 to
1 decision to seventh-place Seat
tle while the Sacramento Solons
edged Portland 2 to 1 in the
seven-inning first game of a double
bill, then battled to a six-all tie
in the 11-inning nightcap called at
midnight by the curfew law.
Frankie Dasso, Hollywood's
lightning-fast pitcher, held the
Oaklanders to six scattered hits
and struck out seven in a mound
duel with Floyd Speer. The Stars
scored the winning run on Frank
Kelleher's forceout after Cully
Rlkard singled, a hit by Glenn
Stewart and Al Unser'a long fly
ball.
The Sacramento-Portland second-game
marathon might have
gone on all night, although both
managers swept their benches
clean. The Bevos used 20 players
while the Salons threw 15 Into the
came.
Billy Conroy, Sacramento
catcher, Buffered a severe gash on
the head when he was hit by the
tip of George Vico's bat.
The Solons won the opener be
hind Gerald Staley's effective
seven-hit hurling.
The story at San Diego was
seven-hit pitching by Seattle's
Don Pulford and John Yelovic
and a 10-hit attack against Lefty
Tom Seats.

Nation Mourns Death of
Michigan's Fielding Yost
"I leel Keenly tne loss 01 a nne
friend and valued associate. Mr.
The nation's sport great today
mourned the death Tuesday or
Fielding H. Yost, retired football
coach and athletic director at the
University of Michigan, terming
it a "loss to the nation."
Herbert O. (Fritz) Crisler. who.
succeeded Yost as mentor of Mich
igan's athletic program, described
his predecessor as "not only a
coach and athletic director but an
institution."
"His death was not only an ir
reparable loss to Michigan but a
loss to the nation," Crisler sa.d at
Oklahoma City, where he is it
tending the Oklahoma State
Coaches Association annual clinic.
Commissioner K. L. (Tug) Wil
son of the Western Conference
said at Chicago that Yost "left a
stamp on Inter-collegiate athletics
which will be felt forever." He
added:
Yost was what you'd call a
great enthusiast over football. He
became utterly oblivious of other
matters when hew as discussing
the game.
"America, as well as the West
ern Conference, has lost one of Its
great men in the passing of Field
ing Yost. He was a pioneer in his
field, with the strength and vision
of pioneers."
L. W. St. John, veteran athletic
director, at Ohio State University
asserted' that Yost had been a
"tremendous tsset to Inter-colleii-
ate football." He aldadj
Yost's advent at Michigan as coach
in 1901 sent the Wolverines off to
become a foremost power In football."

Corvallis Beats
Rube Softballers
The Rubenstein Furnituremen,
champions of the Eugene Softball
League, dropped their third
straight decision to the Pepsi-Cola
team of Corvallis at Civic Stadium
Tuesday night by a 12-4 count.
The thre- straigh wins sends the
Corvallis team to the state soft
ball tournament opening Sunday
at Oregon city.
Tht Rubes still have a chanca to
get into the tourney. They will
play the Albany Arnetts in a two
out of three game series. The Ar
netts were the losers uv a series
that sent the Salem city champs to
the tourney. The first game of the
two out of three game series will
be played Wednesday night at
8:30 p. m. on the Corvallis field.
The second game will be played
Thursday night at Civic Stadium
and the third game, if necessary,
will follow making a possible
doubleheader Thursday night.
The Rubes also lost the second
game of the doubleheader Tues
day night by a 14-13 count The
second game had no bearing on
the playoff series. '
The Eugene city champs looked
like they might stay in the ball
game in the first tew innings.
They led off with a run In the
first but Corvallis tied it up in the
first of second. The Rubes added
two in the second only to have
Corvallis come back with a rash
of home runs in the third to score
five runs and take a lead which
was never relinquished.
George Sprick hit a homer for
the visitors with the bases loaded
and Dick Miller followed immedi
ately with another with the bags
empty for the big third inning.
The Rubes got another run in
the third but Sprick took over the
mound duties from Bob Berringer
In the fourth and the Furniture
men were blanked the rest of the
way. Corvallis came up with an
other run in the fourth, three in
the sixth and two in the seventh.
There were two runs in and
none out in the seventh when Cal.
Bonney relieved Basil Wilson on
the mound and retired the side.
The Rubes had a consolation
victory all tied up in the second
game but were overtaken in the
final inning. Pitcher Cal Bonney
was lifted in order to rest him for
the series with Albany and Mark
Dunn took over on the mound.
The Corvallis squad rallied and
ran In seven runs to take the
game.
In the first game the winners
collected a total of 13 hits, all off
Wilson. Bob Quisenberry, Chuck
Shannon and Red Rocha all got
two hits in four times at bat for
the winners. Jake Leicht led the
nine-hit Rube attack with three
hits in four times up.
