Newspaper Page TextCalifornia Has Open Season on Football Coaches Los Angeles, Oct. 26 MV-It seems to be open season on football coaches in these parts. Here's a rundown on the situ ation: At UCLA, Coach Bert La Bru eherie told his squad, and the football writers, that he is "com pletely behind his staff of assist ants." He told the players that thre'd be no change in the staff and if anyone didn't want to play football he could turn in his suit. None did. This followed published re ports that some UCLA linemen were on the outs with Line Coach Shelby Calhoun and had threatened to quit. Calhoun said he hadn't had any back talk from players. Calhoun is scheduled to accompany the squad to Lincoln for the game Saturday. At Loyola of Los Angeles, the board of athletic control meets in closed session tonight and Coach Bill Sargent rcport dly wasn't invited. Sargent denied to the writers that he's on the way out and said he has a five-year contract.

Few Game Birds Found In Alaska Air Survey Washington, Oct. 26 (Pi A bird count along the northwestern fringe of the North American continent turned up nearly as many waterfowl there as farther south in Canada, but fewer jtim grds. The Fish and Wildlife Service, reporting this today, said the summer-long aerial study by its biologist, Hocert H. Smith, and Robert P. Allen of the National Audubon society, was the most intensive ever made on the far north's waterfowl breeding grounds. While saying the waterfowl populations compared favorably with those in southern Canada, the agency added: "The greater percentage of the ducks observed were non-game birds the slow-flying or fish eating sentors, old-squaws, and king eider?'. "Mallards and pintails, the most important game species in the United Stntrs. made up a small percentage of the ducks in the aroa. "The vnst fnr north duck breeding Krnumi' still remain unstudied. A comprehensive estimate of duck populations ran still be made only by broad ening the forthcoming 5orvoys to include other regions In north tastern Alaska and Canada's Tiorthwst territories." The two scientists flew 14. 172 miles ever the Ath:baska delta, the ctent Slave Lake parkland, the valley and delli ! of the MncKeiw.io river, the Yu- j Von Territory's Old Crow flats.

CLARK RESIGNS FROM PRO BASKETBALL LOOP Portland, Ore., Oct. 26 (U.R1 Ray Clark, president of the Pa cific coast professional basket ball league today said he had resigned.

Skits Scratch BY FRED ZIMMERMAN, One of the most comprehensive "folders," compiled for the information of the press comes out of the office of the director of public relations for Saint Mary's college, home of the "Gallop ing Gaels." The "folder" contains a good selection of news paper mats, a football prospectus and a record book that leaves little to the imagination; a copy of the program sold for the St. Mary's-University of San Francisco game (25 cents) and a highly illustrated pamphlet depicting scenes about the Moraga valley institution and in the San Francisco Bay area. Appending is a note telling where the director of public relations may be found in Portland Oct. 26 and 27 and in Eugene from noon of the 28th through the 31st. The Gaels, coached by Joe Verdueci, play the University of Oregon Webfoots next Saturday afternoon on Hayward field. At this writing the race for the right to represent the west in the Row Bowl next January appears to be between Ore gon and California. Politics barred, the one that rnakw the. best showing during the season will get the call. All things being equal the team that had appeared in the bowl the least recent Is supposed to get the bid. All 10 conference members vote on the issue and while the north has six representatives as against four in the south, It doesn't necessarily follow that the Webfoots would attract a unanimous following In their own district. However, in view of the miserable showing made by California teams in recent bowl engagements, the west might have a better chance should the northwest provide the competition. From Indianapolis, national Legion comes a press release junior baseball graduates dominated the 1948 major league sea son trom opening day through the world series." The first game of the season between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Athletics found 15 of the 18 starring players listed as former Legion junior baseball performers. Then again in the all-star game of July 13 at Sportsman Park, St. Louis, 29 of the 50 men selected for the classic were Legion baseball graduates. A total of 242 former American Legion Junior baseball players wore major league uniforms during the 1948 season. To top it all, 32 ex-junior Legion players took part in the world series. Next Saturday's clash between Michigan State and Oregon State scheduled for Bell field, Corvallis marks the third time these two Institutions have collided on the gridiron. The two previous games played at East Lansing resulted In a 20-7 win for the Bravers In 1915 and a 7-7 tie in 1942. One of the prin cipal threats In the Spartan squad is Ed Sobciak, a 23-year-old 200 pounder and a senior. A pass receiver extraordinary "Sob" didn't play last season beacuse of injuries but is re ported going great guns this year. Another specialist on the Michigan State club Is George Smith, quaterback and a great blocker, lie is the point converter for the Spartans, president of the Junior class and a light heavyweight fighter on the boxing team. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. While we would be the last person in the valley to dictate where a person should spend his entertainment money, we submit that Willamette's games with College of Idaho and College of Puget Sound were excellent exhibitions of the fall pastime. The teams are well coached, the contenders really play for keeps and thrills are there for the witnessing. Weather has been almost perfect for football this season and physical conditions at Sweetland field are vastly improved. But one home game remains on the Bear cat schedule the night of November 5. against Linfield. Alabama has had seven un defeated and untied football trams since 1892. Capital jk. Journal iALJTM.

After thinking it over for more than two weeks, Stewart still stuck to his decision on the disputed pickoff play in which he declared Phil Masi of the Braves safe at second, setting up the only score in the first game of the series. He also defended his calling Lou Boudreau, Cle veland's manager-shortstop, out at third in the fourth game. PRO GRIDDER BOOTED FROM COLLEGE SQUAD Olean, N.

New York, Oct. 26 M" Five players from the American and five from the National make up the 1948 major league allstar team as selected for the Asso ciated Press by 220 baseball ex perts throughout the nation.
