Yankee-Red Sox Weekend
Set Stage for Payoff Game
When Tom Yawkey, million
aire owner of the Boston Red
Sox said, "Those darn palookas
of mine are going to be the Ame
rican league champs," everyone
thought It was a good crack.
Well, those palookas are tied
with the New York Yankees for
first place in the American lea
gue today, a position they expect
to better by nightfall.
Lefty Mel Parnell pitched
the rampaging Red Sox into
a flat-footed tie yesterday as
he downed the Yanks, 4-1,
with a neat four-hitter before
a howling mob of 35,517 fans
at Boston.
The Red Sox take on the
Yanks in the stadium today with
Lefty Maurice McDermott (5-4)
scheduled to go for the Palookas
against New York's Tommy
Byrne (15-7).
A triumph for either party
would just about settle the is
sue. Following today's battle
both teams will have five games
left to play including two at the
New York park next Saturday
and Sunday. In between meet
ings the Red Sox play three
games with last place Washing
ton and the Yanks three with
the pesky fifth place Philadel
phia Athletics.

Ralph Branca started for
Brooklyn and pitched seven

only five hits and fanned nine

action.
Jack Banta took over and the

Brooklyn Dodgers in the Na

beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-1,
while the Philadelphia Phils
slit the Dodgers, 5-3.
St. Louis and Brooklyn, mark
ing time today, have five and
four games left to play, respec
tively. The Cards have three
dates with the last place Cubs
and two with sixth place Pitts
burgh. The Dodgers have two
meetings with the Phils and two
with Boston.
Should the Cards win only
three of their remaining five
games It would assure them of
no worse than a tie, providing
Brooklyn takes all four of its
games.
Parnell's triumph was his
25th of the season against seven
defeats. It also was Boston's
ninth straight and their 21st con

Kinder, who has won 23 games,
have accounted for more than
half of Boston's 93 victories.

He may not be ready to take
on Notre Dame and Oregon fans
should not as yet send in their
applications for seats in the Rose
Bowl for next January I, never
theless Coach Jim Aiken un
doubtedly has the makings of
another Pacific Coast conference
championship ball club.
This was amply demonstrated
at Eugene Saturday when the
Webfoots exploded the conten
tion that "this is Idaho's year"
by a smashing 41 to 0 decision
over the Vandals. Aiken's club
looked a bit on the poor side at
times but the occasions when
they sparkled far outnumbered
the others.
The acid test comes next
Friday night at Los Angeles
when the Webfoots meet the
L'CLA Bruins under the light
of the Coliseum. If they can
get over that one, then the op
position had better start look
ing for bomb-proof cellars.
In Earl Stelle and Jim Cal
derwood, Coacii Aiken has a
pair of boys who can pitch the
pigskin probably not as far as
Norm VanBrocklin but both
give evidence of approaching
the former star's ability. They
didn't seem to have the protec
tion given VanBrocklin in other
years but then perhaps Jim Aik
en felt he didn't need it against
the Vandals.

matter of backs who can run

ed extremely tough for the
Vandals who made little or no
yardage on that flank.
The score probably doesn't
represent a true picture of the
comparative strength of the two
clubs. Idaho's insistence on
throwing desperation passes cost
the Vandals at least two touch
downs. If they had scored on
that first drive when they
caught the Webfoots off-balance
the game might have been close.
They didn't show too much after
that.
desirable, and the boys will be
playing in the mud of the un
covered infield," he summarized.
"If the fans want something
else, we'll change It," Gilmore
concluded.
While the problem of the park
and preparation for the Albany
game Friday occupied the spot
light, the Salem Jayvee gridders
were busy with final prepara
tions for the first game of the
season Wednesday.
The Viking Jayvees will play
Sacred Heart's Cardinals on the
Leslie field at 7:30 p.m. Wednes
day. The game opens a six game
schedule which Gilmore hopes
to expand to eight by filling
dates on October 28 and Novem

Five Nor t h w e s t conference
football teams saw action In
non-conference clashes S a t u r
day, marking up three victories
against two losses.
Most one-sided was Pacific
university's 33-13 shellacking of
Western Washington college.
Touchdowns in the second and
third quarters gave Western a
13-8 lead, but it was short-lived.
Pacific bounced back to score
twice in the third period on Al
len Olsen's 30-yard run and 3
46-yard dash by Stan Russell,
then pushed over two more tal
lies to turn the game into a route
in the final frame.
Whitman jumped on anoth
er Evergreen conference op
ponent in dropping the Uni
versity of British Columbia
6-0. The Missionaries powered
their way 68 yards on their
first five plays of the game to
score. From there on out the
two elevens stayed close to the
mMfield stripe, neither side
threatening.
Linfield scored twice in the
first quarter in defeating Hum
boldt State college 22-6. A 58
yard run by Carl Wickham set
up the first counter and Jim
Luoto ran back a punt 53 yards
for the second.
Lewis & Clark suffered one
league setback, a 20-1 defeat
by Southern Oregon College
of Education. Two first quar
ter scores set up by a fumble
and pass interception put the
Pioneers in a hole that a 63
yard scoring drive in the third
quarter couldn't lift them
from.
College of Idaho bowed 14-6
to Idaho State in the fifth con
test.
