David and Goliath Face
Each Other at Boston
By Leo H, Petersen
(Untied Press Sports Editor)
Boston, Out. 9 (U.R) A little guy who does his best work away
from home and a big fellow who likes to toil before friendly folk
went out after the third game of the World Series today. Their
ball clubs, the Cardinals of St. Louis and the Red Sox of Boston
were tied at one game each. The little fellow with a sharp
breaking curve ball and a lot of
baseball heart was Murry Dick
son, who won the playoff game
against Brooklyn which gave the
Cards the National league pen
nant. Wins Away
His season's record was 15
victories nine of those tri
umphs coming on enemy dia
monds and of his six defeats,
four came at home. So, while
he didn't do so well before his
home fans when he went out on
that pitching mound on foreign
fields ho was all but invincible.
With David (Boo) Fcrriss it
was a different story. Of his
25 victories against six de
feats, 13 of his triumphs came
at Fenway park, and never
once did lie leave the mound
charged with a defeat. His
losses all came away from
home.
So Manager Joe Cronin of the
"Red Sox, confident that this
1946 World Series would wind
up in his home ground, was
counting on his big right-hander
tcfeve his club an edge in this
vital third game.
Power Dormant
He was counting too on the
vaunted power of his Red Sox
to come through again in the
field where they had lost only
17 games in their drive to the
American league pennant. That
power except for one mighty
'' blast by big Rudy York has
been missing since the scries
opened at St. Louis on Sunday.
Having come out even on
the road, Cronin was sure his
team would take the next
three games which are sched
uled in little Fenway park.
Eddie Dyer, the freshman pi
lot of the Cardinals was just
as sure that his club would
continue to do what it has
been doing all season long
win away from home with
Dickson the star in that re
spect. The betting still was 20-7 that
the Red Sox would come
through.

Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 9 (VP)
With her game in par-busting
form, Mrs. George (Babe) Did
rickson Zaharias of Denver
meets Mrs. John Mays of Ft.
Worth today in the second round
ot the 12th annual Texas Wom
en's Open golf tournament.
The National Amateur cham
pion, seeking her sixth tourna
ment title this year, has already
given the 6463-yard Colonial
Country club course's par 75
two pastings. She turned in a

ors and yesterday toured the
back nine in 33, four under
par 37, to win her first round
match from Mrs. Harold Weil
back, San Antonia, Tex., 5 and
4.
Marvelous Marvs Repeat
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 9 (4s) It's been five years since the Mar
velous Marvs of little Pacific Lutheran college made football
headlines while winning 18 straight games but they're still car
rying on in the same tradition
Marvin "Tommygun" Tom
mervik, AP Little All-America
halfback in both 1940 and 1941
with a phenomenal passing rec
ord, and Marvel Harshman, a
good "do everything" big man
who won Little All-America
mention as fullback both years,
have teamed up to make con
tenders out of the Tacoma In
dians of the Pacific Coast pro
fessional football league.
Keeping them in the lineup at
the same time is Coach Steve
Slivinski's success recipe. They
play to win.
Only once in all the years
s) they've been together have
, Tommervik and Harshman
been on the short end. Pa
cific Lutheran lost to Central
Washington college in 1939.
After that they won 18
straight before losing to Port
land University in 1941. Tom-

Homecoming Tilt
Monmouth Coach Robert
Knox of Oregon College of Ed
ucation has been busy drilling
the once-victorious Wolves for
their Homecoming struggle with
Lewis and Clark here Saturday,
October 12. The Wolves, who
downed the visiting Pacific Col
lege aggregation of Newberg
here last Friday, 18 to 0, will
be at full strength for the game.
Rich whose playing was out
standing in the first game
were: Tom Jones, freshman
back from Cottage Grove, and
Bruce Hamilton, back from
Salem. Archie Padberg,
Heppner; Bob Miller, Eugene;
Clyde Harmon, Independence;
Captain-elect Ward Stanley,
Pilot Rock, also showed a lot
of drive and scrap in the Wolf
line.
The Homecoming game,
starting at 2 o'clock, will high
light the first postwar Home
coming week-end at the Oregon
College of Education.
Vikings Prep
For Bend Tilt
Atmosphere with a football
nip gave Vikings added impetus
for grid tussling with Bend Lava
Bears Friday night in the vaca
tion city, but the story remains
one of a battered eleven recov
ering from numerous injuries.
Guards Wayne Houser and
George Zurlinden, tackle Don
Gettis, center Bob Seamstcr,
are the youths working light
in practice sessions. All are
expected to see limited action
Friday night. Other squad
members arc in top condition
for the week-end duel.
Both elevens, Bend and Sa
lem, will strive for the come
back trail this week-end. The
Dalles romped over Bend last
week while Vikings dropped to
Albany.
First Wave
Chills Nip
Boston, Oct. 9 WP) Approxi
mately 1,500 hardy fans, includ
ing many fur-coated women,
established a beachhead outside
Fenway Park during the chilly
night intent upon being in the
first wave to acquire "Rush"
bleacher seats for the third
World Series game.
Grover Cleveland Gilmore,
a Brookline butcher with all
mervik was alone that night;
Harshman was sick.
Since joining Tacoma in the
pro league they've continued to
win every time they've been to
gether. Their only loss, to the
league leading San Franciscans,
found Tommervik out of action
with a sore rib. They play Sac

This is a busy week-end on the Salem sportsside. Only the
high school Vikings will be out of town with their entertainment
a trip over to Bend for a football game. On the other hand,
every person should be directly or indirectly affected by the
full week of events.
Youths start the program off Wednesday afternoon on
Leslie field. The first game of a grand intra-mural program
is offered to fans. Four football, teams from Leslie and Par
rish start a double round-robin for (he junior high city
championship this week. Play will be completed and the
two schools select their best first string for a crucial scrap.
Fisliana Citizens in Salem
Wednesday night it will be a fight card in the Ferry street
armory arena. Most of the fighters are outsiders, but that may
be attributed to lack of local interest. Seems there are few guys
in the area willing to mix it up a few rounds for a tidy tidbit.
Tex Salkeld is promoting the Salem bouts again this year.
A winner for sure is the Duane Hoag-Jackie Paul rematch.
Fans will see plenty of action, according to training camp
reports. This event should draw quite a crowd.
College Football in the Capital City
Friday night the Willamette university Bearcats unveil a
flashy football eleven for Salem onlookers. Linfield college
will furnish competition for the season opener. Coach Walt
Erickson has a new style, might say a little different from the
one used by "Spec" Keene in years past.
Fans became a little dubious on the prospect of Willamette
ruling the Northwest conference again this year after a first
game loss to San Jose college. Bearcats snapped back with
a win against UBC Thunderbirds a quick breath was heard.
This Friday night will spill a tale.
Jim Russell slill has a wonderful job on his hands at the Salem
golf course, and he's doing well. Close to an even hundred Salem
citizens are touring the links in search of a championship cup.
Play is in the second round this week.
Watch your athlete's heart honestly, this town is becoming
sports-minded.

As Big Nine
Favors Bowl
Chicago, Oct. 9 (U.R) Early
voting among Western Confer
ence members was reported to
day to favor Big Nine participa
tion in the Rose Bowl football
game, with a simple majority of
the members needed to put the
1946 Big Nine champion in the
coming New Year's day game.
Big Nine c o m m I s sioner
Kenneth Wilson revealed that
the poll was being taken, and
said that several schools al
ready have recorded their
views. Illinois was the only
one to announce its decision,
revealing a negative vote, but
reliable reports said other
schools which have voted were
in favor of the agreement.
Under the proposal being bal
loted upon, the Rose Bowl con
test would be "closed" for at
least three years, with participa
tion limited to members of the
two conferences. Thereafter, a
non-member school could be in
vited if the Big Nine or coast
schools desire.
Season Too Long
In turning down the agree
ment lo send the Big Nine cham
pion into post-season play, Illi
nois' university senate commit
tee said its main objection was
to "lengthening the season five
weeks and carry the football
campaign over until only two
weeks before the final semester
examinations."
Despite Illinois' negative
vote, the proposal is known to
have strong support from
some of the conference's more
influential members. These
hold that an agreement be
tween the Western and Pacific
Coast conferences is the only
means of combatting "one of
the worst commercial aspects
of collegiate football."
Seven times in the past nine
years, the Rose Bowl bid has
gone lo a southern team. West
ern Conference leaders have
been outspoken and bitter
against these Dixie schools be
cause of their open subsidization
of athletes.
