Newspaper Page Textighf The Capital Journal, Salem; Oregon Saturday; September 21, 1940 Sports Headliners - 'J Byron Nelson, last year's Na tional Open winner, recently added the P.G.A. title to his col lection In a stirring 36-hole fi nal victory over Slamming Sam my Snead, one up. Elizabeth Hicks, cute little Cali fornia golfer, Is considered a major threat to Champion Bet ty Jameson In the women's na tional tournament to be played September 23 to 29 at Pebble Beach. Cal. Marlus Russo, Yankee pitcher, is one of the big reasons for the New Yorkers' late surge pen nantward. Southpaw Russo, taking up a major load with the loss of Lefty Gomez, won five straight In the Yanks' rally of 20 victories In 23 games through Labor day. Billy Soose, former Penn State collegian, has boosted himself to the front of the muddled mid dleweight situation with over the weight victories over Tony Zale and Ken Overlln, recog nized champions In different quarters. Cookie Lavagetto, one of the big reasons for the great showing of the Brooklyn Dodgers this sea son, was knocked out of the pen nant picture by an emergency appendectomy.

Nobody realizes that more than Spec Keene of Bearcat fame. So next week he and his crew of stal warts will turn to the chapter of defense In the book of football stra tegy. Offense has been stressed since the opening of the season, September 17. Whether there are any touchdown plays In the few that have been worked out may be determined next Saturday after noon In Portland when Willamette and Portland U get together Multnomah field. One thing is certain, Coach Keene states, there Is a definite need for better blocking. He shook his head when he discussed this angle of football preparedness. While Al Walden has the Inside edge in the punting department. Gene Stewart, Neil Morley and George McGlinn are turning in some fair exhibitions. What they will do under pressure Is another phase. Morley's performance in the fullback position has been one of the bright spots In offensive play. He has been using his 210 pounds to great advantage. Blaine Frlel, a Junction City yearling, who played end in high school, has also been working as a fullback. The center spot still bothers the Bearcat coach. "Lack of fire" ap pears to be the main fault of the quartet of men who have been working in that spot. Quite a scrap has developed for the tackle assignments with May field and Cline appearing to bet ter advantage one day, and Bar- stad and Constable the next. Right now the only assurance in this connection is that all four will see lot of action before the season is over. A half dozen huskies have an eye on the two guard spots with Drury and Holland having the better of the argument at this writing. Moore and Pralola, Howard Olson and Kurtz all have an interest in the two slots. On the flanks, Garrell Delner, freshman from Newberg, Is doing a good Job defensively. Kolb, a three year veteran and Cooklngham, sophomore, have had the better ol the argument for the starting as signments. Pass defense will come In for quite a bit of attention next week since the Portland Pilots, with Frank Maloney doing most of the tossing, are expected to take to the air against the heavy 'Cata. The Willamette squad will re turn to Portland the night of Oc tober 4 to meet San Jose. The first contest on Sweetland field Is booked for October 18 at 8 p. m. against the San Diego Marines.

Leo Frank, football coach at the College of Puget Sound, loses only two men by graduation, but oh, my! The army air corps took his ail Northwest conference center; na tional defense work took three more players; he lost another on a trans fer; the professors blitzkrleged an other half-dozen and Frank might even lose himself to the national guard I Frank Is on the national guard inactive reserve, and may be called up for service. He put In two years on the Mexican border during the World war and later was with the national guard Infantry. That's the gloomy side. On the other side of the ledger, C.P.S. has 13 veterans returning, Including a complete back fie Id, so the Loggers may be able to land higher than the third place where they perched In 1938 northwest conference stand ings. Gordon Fielder, veteran fullback, returns after two years' absence, during which time he kept in trim in the northwest league. Bill Mad den, all-conference, and Bernard Remson are the halfbacks and BUI McLaughlin, a triple threater, is the quarterback. Wayne Nee ley is the star center who is now in the army air corps. Ed Buscko, veteran tackle, may be moved to center. Veteran Nell Gray has one of the tackle jobs cinched, with the other tackle race wide open.

By Dale Stafford Detroit, Sept. 21 (P) The open ing battle was ended but the argu ment raged on today as the Detroit Tigers, a full game up on their foes, squared off against the Cleve land Indians in the second part of the American league's pre-world scries triple feature. As usual the argument centered on the No. 1 man in most of Cleve land's disturbances this year Man ager Oscar Vitt against whom 12 of the Indians rebelled last June 13. This time Vit's strategy was un der fire as a result of the eighth inning of yesterday's contest in whioh Detroit scored five runs to lock up a 6 to 5 victory after ap pearing hopelessly defeated. Vitt was being criticized for: (1) Removing Pitcher Mel Hard er after he had allowed only four singies and one run In seven and one-third innings. (2) Sending Bobby Feller In the relief hurler when the young lowan had benefited from only 24 hours rest after going all out to de' feat the Washington Senators, 2 to 1, on Wednesday. Vitt showed no surprise when In formed that he was being "panned' in some quarters. "I'd do the same thing In the same situation today," Vitt said, "Harder, who is post 30 years of age, was tiring and had lost his control." Second-guessers pointed out that Harder had stood the Tigers their heads and that a walk to Barney McCosky and a single by Charley Gehringer with one. man out was the sole damage that had occurred in the inning in which he was removed.

Derringer Yearns For Shot at Yanks By Henry McLemora Pittsburgh, Sept. 21 (U.R) If Paul Derringer were a mir acle worker off the mound as well as on it, he would see to it that both the Detroits and the Clevelands collapsed, and that the Yankees got into the world ser- ies this year. Paul was one of the Cincinnati Reds who spent an afternoon off here yesterday listening to the bat tle between the Indians and the Ti gers, and for the life of him he couldn't work up much enthusiasm over the outcome. "I'm still hoping that something wilt happen so the Yanks will get in the series against us," the big pitch er said. "I sure would like to have another crack at those fellows. And so would everybody else on the team We haven't forgotten those four straight lickings, and with the club Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Once in a while a fellow comes along who is a Joy to the coach. He never cries around and does what he is told. Dependable and eager to do a Job when assigned one. Spec Keene has a man of this character on this year's club. He is Anthony Fraiola of New Providence, N. J., by way of the San Diego Marines. Ap parently military training is con ducive to discipline. Lieutenant Colonel Hall, who rules with a firm hand over his San Diego Marine grldsters, in , reality a most kind hearted gen tleman. Hollls Huntington sayi so and Holly should know since he bunked with the marine offi cer while they were attending the University of Oregon. "He acts tough, but there's nothing he wouldn't do for you," praises the former Webfoot back field ace. Bringing the colonel down to date, Spec Keene says he teaches tough football. Not the dirty type, but the kind which makes his men put ev erything they have into the game, They play hard and expect the same in return. The sea soldiers will be in Eugene the night of September 27. They will be seen in action on Sweetland field the night of October 18, They are not to be confused with the ordi nary service team which usually is not capable of providing worth while opposition. The San Diego club has a wealth of material, col lected from the best universities and colleges in the country. It's one team you cannot afford to miss see ing in action. In view of the highly com mercial nature of professional baseball, It's a wonder the mag nates don't line np behind night baseball in a unanimous man ner. Statistics compiled by the Sporting News are enlightening concerning the power of the ares to draw fans through the turnstiles. Night baseball Is a boon to teams which are down on the lower rungs of the percentage ladder. For in stance there Is St. Louis of the Americans. They trail all other clubs in attendance, with an average of 3000 fans for afternoon games. On the night side their average has been 9,710. Every one of the six coaches whose teams will tangle with the Portland Pilots this season (and that Includes our own Spec Keene) will do a lot of concentrating on Frank Maloney. Maloney is Matty Matthews' No. 1 quick kicker and passer. He's a natural in his abil ity to punt without a second's de lay. No fancy stepping with him, he just whales Into the ball after getting it from the center. There isn t much you can do about It either. Keen eyed forwards probably could eventually learn when Maloney contemplates getting one away in a hurry, but his action is so fast there is little chance of blocking him. About the only possi bility is to try to attempt to hold the offensive ends back while the safety makes a try to run the ball back, providing It isn't too far over his head. X. T. Lam, N. D. G.

Did this mean that Paul felt the 1940 Reds were much stronger than the Reds of a year ago? "Just twenty-five to fifty per cent stronger, that's all," Derringer an swered. All you've got to do is look in the record and see the number of games we've won by one run this year. It's an amazing number 38, I think and that's the proof of great team. Anybody can win games by six and seven runs, but the good ones to win are those close ones." I asked Paul which team the Reds would rather tackle, the Tigers or the Indians. "Doesn't make much difference. We can lick either one of them. Of course, we know a little more about the Tigers. We played exhibition games against them and have pretty fair line on their pitching and hitting. As for the Indians, not many of us have ever seen them in uniform, but we'll know plenty about them if they get In the series.

Sullivan San Francisco, Sept. 21 (U.R) Picking the winner of the 1940 Pa cific coast conference football racs looks easy. It's University of Wash ington. The man who delivers our milk, the boy who follows him wilh the morning paper, the conductor on the inbound trolley car, the white clad chef at the "comme and" counter i and the clerk in the cigar store J agree It's Washington this year. ' The men who mnkc football their business, men like Coach Babe Hol llngberry of Washington State and Coach Tex Oliver of Oregon, also agree it's Washington in 1940. The fed dissenting votes come from those who think Howard Harding Jones will lend his U. S. O. Trojans into the Rose Bowl for third straight time. And a few a very few hold that" Lon Stiner's heavy, experienced Oregon state team might finally crash through. Phelan has In Dean MacAdams the coast's most accomplished pass er and possibly the west's best half back, although Jimmy Johnson of non-conference Santa Clnra may protest that. He has in Rudy Mucha one of the nation's better linemen, a center who Is a benrcat on de fense. He has further in Jay Mac Dowell one of the best pass-snagging ends in the business and he has veteran linemen, supporting backs and deep reserves. In case the Huskies fall, look for' the men of Troy or the Orangemen of Oregon State to earn the Rose Bowl dough and glory. Football Scores Oreion fllah Schools LaOrando 24. linker 0.
