On Majors Top Nine
New York, Oct. 24 (Pi Dominated by the Boston Red Sox

The St. Louis Cardinals, World Series conquerors of the Red
Sox, landed all three National league positions.
One player each from Detroit, Cleveland and the New York
Yankees completed the roster and gave the American league its
huge majority.
Of the 10 men selected (two pitchers were named), eight are
former servicemen.
No player was a unanimous choice. Ted Williams drew
the most support, the Boston Red Sox outfielder being named
In 120 of the 122 ballots cast. Bobby Docrr, his teammate,
ranked next with 117 votes. Then came Hal Newhouscr,
v Detroit Tiger acc lefthander, with 102, and Stan Musial of
! the Cardinals, with 9G. Musial received 81 votes for first
base, the rest for center and right fields,

Coast Hits Short End On
Intersectional Grid Battles
', San Francisco, Oct. 21 (U.R One lone victory in nine attempts
that's the record of Pacific Coast collegiate football teams in
major 1946 intersectional gridiron warfare. It may be that other
sections of the country are play
ing a better brand of football
or that just the weaker teams
on the coast are engaging in this
brand of rivalry but the fact
remains that only St. Mary's
gifted Gaels have been able to
win in lnter-regional competi
tion. They trounced Fordham,
33-2.
i And things aren't expected
In Improve much on Satur
day when College or Pacific
invades Northwestern; Arizo
na travels to Milwaukee to
meet Marquette, and San Jose
! State entertains B r 1 g h a m
; Young.
The term "West Coast foot
ball" usually indicates loams
grom Montana. Northern Idaho,
Washington, Oregon, Arizona,
Nevada and the Hawaiian Isl
ands. Using that as a guide, the
cross-country records show
these major results:
California 7, Wisconsin 28.
Fresno State 7, Oklahoma Ci
ty College 46. San Jose State
7, llardin-Sinunons 31. Idaho
6, Marquette 46. I'SF 20, Mis

Slate 21. St. Mary's 33, Ford
ham fl. Arizona 7, L'lali 11.
liSF 6, Detroit 18.
That's 234 points against 93
which couldn't be called ex
actly a "slim edge."
Be tiiat as it may, the West
till thinks it has some pretty
fair football teams undefeated
UCLA and Oregon, and St. Ma
ry's, which was upset once by
California.

Leads Nation
With Offense
New York, Oct. 24 (Pi Al
though bounced out of the un
beaten class by Denver last
week, Utah university continues
to lead the nation's college foot
ball teams in the ground gain
ing department with an average
of 439 yards per game on both
running plays and forward
passes.
Coach Ike Armstrong's
Braves, who have covered
1,756 yards in four games,
have picked up 1,339 of those
yards on the ground for an
average of 334.8 which also
is the best showing in the
country for rushing alone.
Behind Utah in the total of
fensive averages announced to
day by the National Collegiate
Athletic bureau come Notre
Dame, UCLA, Nevada, Pennsyl
vania, Texas, Arizona, Boston
College, Georgia and Detroit, in
that order.
Five of these first 10 offen
sive powers Notre Dame.
UCLA. Pennsylvania, Texas and
Georgia are among the top 10
teams in the current rankings
based on the weekly poll of the
Associated Press.
A notable absentee among the
offensive leaders is mighty
Army, which has just worked
its way up to 15th place.
Nevada has completed 37
of 84 attempted passes for
!)I4 yards, an average of
228.5 per game to lead that
division. Marquette has com
pleted more passes than any
other team, 62, but also has
thrown more, 128, and is in
fifth place in aerial yardage.
South Carolina leads the field
in punting, with New Mexico
second and Southern California
third. The South Carolina
punters have averaged 44.9
yards on 20 kicks. Oregon is
eighth in this department with

Skits and Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman, Capital Journal Sports Editor
Don't overlook Whitman col
lege in any debate concerning
the Northwest conference foot
ball championship picture, even
though the Missionaries are
currently tied with the College
of Idaho for fifth position in
the loop. The fact that Whit
man downed the University of
British Columbia last week af
ter being kicked around by
other conference members ear
lier in the season, indicates
Coach Nig Borleske is begin
ning to get results. And while
he may not win the title for
the Walla Walla institution,
nevertheless his aggregation
may upset some of the con
tenders. Borleske hasn't earn
ed the title of the "old fox"
without reason . . . Also dis
count those bear stories com
ing out of Tacoma by about
75 per cent. Undoubtedly
Coach Patrick has some injur
ed players all teams have
them by mid-season unless they
are extremely fortunate. But
rumors that most of the Log
gers' keymen are hospital cases
or walking invalids are just so
much bushwa.
The Loggers use the stan
dard single wing back type of
offense, which gives opportunity
for power and deception. II
is known they have a number
of reverse plays In their note
bonks but for some reason or
another they have been reluc
tant to use (hem. After being
held scoreless for an entire
first half by Pacific, the Pat
rick men broke out their re
verses after the intermission
and really looked good. Again
in the L. in field contest the re
verses were sidetracked in fav
or of power and all the Log
gers got out of that affair was
a 6 to 6 tie. With nothing to
lose and everything to gain,
those aforesaid reverses un
doubtedly are being dusted off
and will be used against the
Bearcats with the hopes that

Builds Nice
By Jane Noland
'Unltfd Prfss Snorts Wrttpr
Columbia, S. C, Oct. 24 U.R South Carolina's varsity football
team, bulging with muscles and power, takes the field against
Clemson today in a traditional battle, but it appeared highly
improbable they would take the eye as did last night's Powder
Bowl teams. The Powder Bowl contestants didn't exactly bulge,
and it wasn't muscles. "Curve
would be a better word than
bulge, but the word most fre
quently used was "awooe , . ,"
a wolf-call anywhere.
Fans Are Happy
There were 10,000 satisfied
customers, most of them male.
They saw great numbers of
pretty girls wearing shorts and
sweaters curves, not bulges
and they even saw some fairly
good football as the Pi Beta Phi
sorority defeated the Delta
Delta Delta sorority, both from
the University of South Caro
lina, 20 to 0.
Even the time-outs were in
teresting. Instead of waterboys there
were powder girls. Sweaters
and shorts, of course, and they
bore mirrors, makeup kits,
bobby pins and combs.
During the half the ROTC
Corsairs gave way to the "Cor
setles." also wearing shorts,
whose drill held the eyes of the
watchers better than any preci
sion steps of the Corsairs.
At such time as there were
positively no shorts to be seen.
a corps of yell leaders made up
ol professors and led by Univer
sity President Norman Smith
obtained cheers for the shorts.
The teams wore knec
Icngth slacks, and didn't do
badly at all on the football
field. Frances Smith, a wil
lowy brunette with a smooth
fadeaway and a hula hip, ran
for two touchdowns, one on a
48-yard skip. Jo Sidcman
kicked two extra points and
averaged 45 yards on her
punts.
They all averaged 45 wolf
calls to the quarter.
the homecoming festivities will
not prove too gay for the
Methodists,
Bill Beard, who later turned
to professional baseball, was
one of the hardest-hitting half
backs ever developed by Spec
Keene, former Bearcat grid
coach. And In Larry McKeel,
Coach Walter Erickson has a
ball toter who does not need to
play second fiddle to any pig
skinner on the coast. And an
other member o the squad who
is beginning to prove his worth,
especially in the kicking and
passing department of the game,
is John Slanchik, all the way
from Follensbee, W. Va. The
West Virginian can thump a
football harder and farther
than any man to wear the Bear
cat colors in many years and
his ability to throw is equally
first-class. Slanchik has com
plained of the heavy air in the
Willamette valley, saying that
it's an effort for him to exert
himself. Others coming here
from the east have had a simi
lar experience and it is quite
a change from the dry atmos
phere of Persia, where Slan
chik played ball for "Buck"
Smith during the war.

One scoring drive apiece was

afternoon as Leslie Blues scrap
ped to a 7-7 tie with Parrish

pers flared as often as mud ac
cumulated on togs of football

Bearcat-Logger Tussle '
Rumbles with Promises
With each camp diligently bolstering its defenses and working
toward perfection on offensive operations, Saturday afternoon's
homecoming engagement at 2:15 on Sweelland field between
Willamette and College of Puget Sound looms as the grid classic
of the season insofar as the central valley is concerned. Advance
ticket sale is the best of the year in spite of boisterous weather
and indications point to a capacity crowd. It will be the first
daylight game of the season and the last home appearance for
Coach Walter Erickson's Bearcats.
There will be little difference in weight between the contending
parties. The Bearcats will have a slight advantage in the line
but the Loggers will enjoy more poundage in the backfield.
Although Willamette has beaten all conference rivals hand
ily, the 'Cats have yet to score a shutout. A yawning pass
defense that permits opposing backs and ends to filter through
for easy chances has been responsible for most of the touch
downs scored against the Willamette crew. Coach Erickson
and his associates have been working diligently in an effort
to plug the holes and pass interceptions instead of completions
may result.
Injuries continue to plague both camps, although each side
is inclined to discount bear yarns that have been issued from
time to time.
