Newspaper Page Texttanford-USC Victor May Clinch Bowl Fray San Francisco, Oct. 23 tU.R) The UCl.A's bruising Bruins won't agree, but there was a strong feeling elsew'.iere along the Facifio coast today that the winner of Saturday's football game between Stanford and Southern California will go to the Rose Bowl. These racing rivals haven't records to compare with UCLA's perfect slate, but both are traditionally slow starters and may be hard to beat from now on out. During the last 15 years the winner of the game be tween them has gone to the Rose Bowl 11 times. South ern California has made sev en of the appearances, while Stanford has gone to Pasa dena four times. Southern California has lost two games while Stanford has been defeated onoe, but in con ference play each team has a .500 record of a victory and a loss. Last year, for example, the Trojans went to the Bowl after losing to San Diego Naval Sta tion, 33 to 6; to St. Mary's 26 to 0 and to Washington, 13 to 7. Then Alabama crushed them, 34 to 14, in the Bowl game. Southern California this year dropped games to Oregon State and Ohio State, before starting to hit its stride with a 28 to 0 victory over Washington last week. The battle is expected to attract 50,000 fans to Palo . Alto while the undefeated yearns of the west play to somewhat smaller crowds. UCLA gets what should be a breather against Santa Clara in the southland; and unde feated, but tied, Oregon is ex pected to breeze by Idaho. In other conference games, Washington entertains Califor nia and Oregon State takes on Washington State. One Yankee Rumor Goes New York, Oct. 23 UP) Stanley "Bucky" Harris, a suave base ball diplomat, is the new manager of the New York Yankees that is if the latest rumor is true. Harris, appointed executive assistant to Larry MaePhau, Yankee president, a month ago, was said by the Daily News to have been "sold" on the post at a secret meeting yesterday. The News reported the confab was attended by Bucky, Mac Phail, Will Harridge, president of the American league, and Charley Dressen, present Brook lyn coach, who the News said, had been named Harris' No. 1 aide. MacPhail termed the story "pure cock and bull." "I don't know who the Yankee manager is going to be," fumed Larry. "And if I did know now I wouldn't tell anybody," Neither Harris, Harridge nor Dressen was available for com ment. Coast Diamond Year May Be Stretched Los Angeles, Oct. 23 VP) Pos sibility of stretching the Pacific Coast league baseball season from 26 to 28 weeks for the 1947 campaign will be discussed when loop owners open the annual winter meeting here Thursday. Post-season playoffs for the President's Cup may be aban doned if. the longer schedule is adopted, It was reported. Also up for approval will be plans for the annual major and minor league conventions here in December, President Clarence Rowland said. Jurges Steps Down From Player to Coach Chicago, Oct. 23 VP) The Chicago Cubs were scouting for a shortstop today after taking 38-year-old Billy Jurges off the active player list and placed as a coach. It's no secret that the Cubs would like to make a deal for the St. Louis Cardinals' Marty Marion, and speculation on a deal for "Mr. Shortstop," or his teammate Joffre Cross, or Bud dy Kerr of the New York Giants or Eddie Miller of the Cincin nati Reds was quite natural. Grand Old Man Quit? Take Another Flier El Paso, Tex., Oct. 23 VP) Amos Alonzo Stagg is having loo much fun to think about quit ting his job as football coach of the College of Pacific. The 84-year-old coach today branded as false in every detail a report that he wai going to retire after this, his 57th season, as a foot ball coach. QUrVU Ptpti-CaXa Company; Lorn Hand City, N. 7.

Academy-J-V's Battle to 0-0 Sacred Heart academy shoved for the Salem senior high school junior varsity's goal line on more than one occasion with a modified flanker running attack Tuesday night on Leslie field, but only a moral victory was won as the two football elevens battled to a Scoreless deadlock on the muddy field. Most of the game was play ed in J-V territory as the starting academy backfield combination of Davcy, Suing, Comstock and Hcrbcrgcr racked up first downs. Out standing defensive work by Bcrnholdt, Rock, Sproule and Frederick stopped several Sacred Heart drives within the 10-yard line. Both teams held down wide open play, but there were still many fumbles. A slipping rain added to pigskin difficulties in the final quarter.

Every club in the circuit was well ahead of its 1945 to tal, with the New York Yan keos attracting 2,265,512 to become the first club in Ma jor league history to reach the two-million mark, the Amer ican league office reported. Five of the league's eight teams drew more than a millions fans and six clubs set new club season marks at home in the general increase of 4,040,762 fans over the 5,580,420 figure for 1945, which was the prcvi ous attendance high. Belcasfro Holds Title With Win Over Ross Pete Belcastro retains the coast junior heavyweight wrest ling belt today, but he almost had to unjoint Tony Ross before the matter was decisive in night of tumbles at the Ferry Street armory arena Tuesday. Ross took the first fall from Belcastro and had the second on the way when he twisted a shoulder out while breaking one of Belcastro's holds. In a pre liminary, the Gray Mask and Frankie Hart scrapped to a no- fall end. Sammy Cohen pinned Bulldog Jackson, and Billy Fox keeled Jack Kiser in other pre liminaries. Hostak Slugs Comeback Seattle, Oct. 23 VP) The pow erful punches that once carried Seattle's Al Hostak to the NBA world middleweight title still were in evidence today with the former crownholder winner by a first round knockout over George Evans of Oakland in the main event of a fight card here last night.

By Oscar Fraley (Unued Presi Sport, Writer New York, Oct. 23 VP) Navy Bill Ingram, the Middie football scout, has two Oscars already and he'll probably wind up with another. An Oscar is one of those pret ty little gadgets (blush, blush) like they handed Ray Milland for starring in "Lost Weekend. Well, Navy Bill is making a rank amateur out of Brother Ray for Ingram. Cmdr. Ingrain reveals that he has scouted Notre Dame "five weeks" with the idea of trying to scuttle the Irish. Well, with Notre Dame having played only three games, that means Navy Bill has two lost weekends from the South Benders and another steaming up on the portside the day they go to work on the Mid dies. The club which will is Army, and that's as bitter for a navy man to say as it was for Don Birnam to take the pledge. But take it from the tall commander. Vandals Recall Oregon Jinx Moscow. Idaho, Oct. 23 VP) As the University of Idaho's crippled football team hoped to achieve its first victory Satur day at the expense of undefeat ed Oregon, old-timers glumly recalled today the time when Oregon defeated the Vandals, 27 to 21 without gaining a single yard from scrimmage. In 1908, Idaho record books show, the Vandals rolled up 347 yards from scrimmage while holding the Webfoots to a net gain of zero in both rushing and passing. Yet, Oregon won on four field goals, which counted four points each at the lime, and on a touchdown made on an intercepted pass. The 1946 Vandals finally found a scoring punch last week before they were swamped by two last period San Jose State touchdowns. But they have no hope of holding this year's Oregon club to zero yardage. Only flaw in the Oregon rec ord is last week's 0-0 tie with Washington State, which trounc ed the Vandals. As four Idaho halfbacks nursed injuries, Van day supporters got small com fort from the record books. Spotless 'Br Grid Elevens Tangle Chemawa The Chemawa In dians, victors in three straight Marion county B league foot ball games without a single practice scrimmage, will tangle with Gervais high here Friday afternoon. The contest will de cide the leadership of the loop since neither club has been beaten. Refusal of other mem bers of the league to meet the Indians brought about the for feited games. Gervais, coached by Paul Reiling, has won two straight and will field a potent ball club against tne Redskins. Oliver Doesn't Comment On Arizona Coach Post Eugene, Ore., Oct. 23 (IP) A report that the Tucson, Ariz., Star had stated Tex Oliver, Uni versity of Oregon grid coach, may take over the Arizona State college coaching reins received only a terse "no comment" from Oliver here last night. The Oregon coach recently announced his resignation, effec tive at the end of the season, but said his future plans did not in clude coaching. Santiam Valley League Will Meet in Stayton Stayton Announcements are made of a meeting to be held Friday night, October 25th, at 8 o'clock at the city hall in Stayton, of the Santiam Valley league in basketball for the pur pose of organizing for the com ing season of basketball activi ties between neighboring town teams in this valley.

' Treadnaulliuo J mm. ........ , -. fi urn naim'i The golden era of sports now, blast me if one guy isn't well on the way toward making it a golden era for sports scribes. Check the work of Art Litchman, director of athletic publicity at the University of Oregon. Art makes the press coop a little more than home for visiting scribes at Hayward field in Eugene. First of all, it's nice and coy inside. For example, during the klnda' wet game between Webfoots and Washington State the writers and hangers-on looked from behind a plate glass front on stands shivering before a rain that blustered. This Is Ihe Day for Writers Litchman has a set-up where all statistics on the game are kept by his aides. Writers, except distrustful souls, need only make a few notes for local color during the game. Individual statistics, first downs, yards gained this and that, all the information is supplied by the athletic director. It's almost a case where the sports writer can enjoy the game. And sandwiches and coffee are served during half-time. Remember Heel and Toe Races? Just recently heard a dissertation on the days when from Fred Williams, all-western conference football end at the Uni versity of Iowa in '01. Fred reminisces about heel-and-toe races, firemen's meets, days "been" when track drew far larger crowds than football. Portly Fred is the last known survivor of an inter-collegiate heel-and-toe race. That's where contestants really stretch out over a mils course, just so the heel spikes the ground first with toes following. A record of 7:5.2 was set in this last race, with Williams two feet behind the winner. The sport was supposedly abolished because the race proved too much of a "man-killer." Only gold-flaked lieutenants revived the race over much longer courses during World War II with conditioning "endurance" hikes. Modern Firemen Just Clang; Bells There were days when amateur firemen pulled rubber-tired carts over a 200-yord course, set up their hose, started scooting water around. Also the time when track meets drew 10,000, while a football game between the same two schools would hit only one thousand or two. Days when a diamond medal went to a record breaker, a ruby for first, silver for second, and down the line. Also when college athletes received $60 a month for pushing a bell in the morning. Have times really changed so much? Valley Football Swings Into Action-plus Tilts WILLAMETTE VALLEY LEAGUE STANDINGS Molalla Sandy Estacada Friday Results Canby 26, Estacada 7; Dallas 12, Sandy 12; Silverton 7, Stayton 0; Mt. Angel 6, Woodburn 34. Coming Games Friday, Oct. 25 Canby at Dallas, Woodburn at Estacada, Stayton at Sandy, Silverton at Molalla. DALLAS With all games running true to form in last week's play in the Willamette Valley league, eigh. teams are preparing for four important clashes this week. The ninth league team, Mt. Angel, draws a bye after suffering its fourth consecutive defeat, this time at the hands of Woodburn, 34 to 6. Canby and Dallas tangle on Kreason field, Dallas, in a night game Friday. Each team has tied with Sandy and this fact indi cates a very close contest, although the Cougars have piled up 92 points to the Dragons 42. Dallas and Sandy deadlocked at 12 to 12 last week. Meanwhile Canby was trouncing Estacada, 26 to 7. In a recent game the Dragons were victorious over the Rangers by a score of only 6 to 0, which comparison would give the Cougars an edge on paper. In the Canby-Estacada game the two teams were playing under the lights on Canby'i field for the first night game. Some difficulty was experienced with the lights and each of the squads had trouble diagnosing the opposing team's plays until the floods were adjusted. The Woodburn Bulldogs meet Estacada on the Rangers field Friday after the Jiggs Burnett-coached squad found its range against Mt. Angel Friday. The Sandy Pioneers will be hosts to Stayton, a team that gave Silverton plenty of trouble in their clash last week.

"Army hasn't. Then you must consider that in using the "T" formation. Army sends its linemen far downfield for blocking. All that running may take away the first team's ef fectiveness over a long haul." The Irish have one of the big gest and strongest lines in the collegiate football business, In gram insisted. "They are rugged and fast and they'll take a lot of beat ing," he said. "I don't believe either Navy or Iowa, their two opponents before meeting Army, can give them too much trouble. Tackle George Connor is the best of the lot." The Irish, to quote the shaky Ingram, are a "smooth bunch," with a line which averages 211 pounds. They pack a lot of Sun day hangovers for the opposi tion and they'll be leveling against Army. The Cadets walloped Notre Dame, 59-0, in 1944 for the worst defeat in South Bend history. And they piled it on last year, 48-0. So when the two clubs collide at Yankee stadium in November, both probably undefeated, it will have the makings of a great lost weekend for somebody. Navy Bill will be satisfied to settle for three Oscars and the safe arrival home of young lads dedicated to salt water.
