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?

El Paso, Tex., Oct. 23 VP)
Amos Alonzo Stagg is having loo
much fun to think about quit

that he wai going to retire after
this, his 57th season, as a foot

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

Fan Figures
Rise 'n Rise
Chicago, Oct. 23 VP) Almost
doubling its previous all-time
attendance record, the American
league drew 9.621,182 baseball
fans during the 1946 season,
League President Will Harridge
said today in announcing offi
cial figures.
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

Navy Scout
.
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

Eugene, Ore., Oct. 23 (IP) A
report that the Tucson, Ariz.,
Star had stated Tex Oliver, Uni
versity of Oregon grid coach,

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

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?

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.

gram said. "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.
