Forestry Workers
Study Deer Date
A decision en possible pottponement of the opening
of the deer hunting season in Oregon ii expected to be
made Tuesday afternoon by officials of the forestry de
partment of the state.
A survey of forest areas and conditions wot being made
Tuesday morning in an effort to check fire hazards
throughout the state.
The only rain in the state during the past 24 hours
occurred in Klamath county and there the' squalls were
accompanied by equally dangerous lightning bolts.
Although state officials lean toward permitting the
season to get under way on Saturday, they warned earlier
that If the present dry weather and low humidity continue,
the opening date would be postponed until forest condi
tions improve.
A break in the weather would settle the question for
fire fighters, forestry officials and hunters.

Moscow, Idaho, Sept. 27 W
Oregon was "lucky" to run up

"they were lucky enough to in

Hayward Field Tops
It took a long time to turn the trick, but the turf on Hayward
field has finally reached the stage where no apologies are needed
In the Oreeon-Idaho tilt the field was lightning fast, stood up
under the attack of cleated shoes and few or no divots were to be
seen. Of course the fall has been ideal, just sufficient rain to
keep the grass growing without softening the roots. Heavy
weather will undoubtedly bring about a different situation but
Judging bv Saturday's appearance the turf is there to stay. Just
three varsity games are booked for the Hayward gridiron this
fall Colorado Oct. 15 and the annual classic wan Oregon stale
November 19.
Should Cut WUIn
If the University of Oregon athletic director would give
credit where credit is due, he would send Willamette a check
for at least $1000. There is little doubt but that Idaho's defeat
of the Bearcats by a 79 to 0 score, played an important part
In attracting the biggest first-game-of-the-season crowds in
Oregon's history. "Any club that can beat Willamette by such
a score must have something, for sure," reasoned a lot of
fans as they took off for Eugene. The result was full stands
except for the horseshoe around the north end of the field
which was not opened. If Idaho had decided to hold down the
score, Instead of throwing passes to all corners of the lot, the
outcome unquestionably would have been closer. Fumbles,
frequent on each side, were not favorable to the Vandals
either. After watching the Webfoots roll impressively over
tht Vandals, one can be thankful that President G. Herbert
Smith ef Willamette, vetoed a proposed game between the
Bearcats and the Webfoots.
e
It Could Happen
The paths of Oregon end Stanford do not cross this season and
the two clubs, both potential champions, could finish up on an
undefeated basis. Such being the case, it would again be up to
the conference to select a Rose Bowl entrant. Would they again
have the nerve to vote for a California contender? All of which,
of course, is looking pretty tar ahead and one or the other, or
perhaps both will be out of the running before the season is
much older. The Webfoots go up against a real tough one next
Friday night in the huge Los Angeles Coliseum when they meet
Mr. Bruin. Stanford plays another King's X affair, but by no
stretch of the imagination can the University of Michigan, their
opponents, be classified as a breather.
Willamette Game at 2 O'clock
Willamette's first home appearance, set for next Saturday
afternoon will start at 2 o'clock. On the air, through the press
and in one prominent schedule at least, the game is slated all
the way from Friday night to Saturday night. For one, we
welcome the daylight program on Sweetland field. Night
games are necessary in many instances but no amount of
artificial illumination can equal Old Col. By way of dividing
the sheep from the goats (make your own selections), a second
observation post is being erected on the north side of Sweet
land field. This will accommodate 10 gentlemen of the press,
leaving the old one, suspended from the roof of the south stand
to the radio. Being a bit more agile, Bruce Williams and his
associates were considered more equal to the task of climbing
the ladder than the men who write for a living.

Dee Moore's single. A walk
and an error filled the bases.
Orestes Minoso singled in two
runs to tie the game. Rainiers'
centerfielder Bill Ramsey then
fumbled Minoso's clout, allow

i, It Can Be Done
After years of wondering why something wasn't done to keep
the sidelines clear during a football game, the high school up and
does it. Nobody along the chalk lines during the Salem-Klamath
contest but those who had an official right to be there. The high
school has always been a flagrant offender in the matter of ob
structing the view of those fans who pay for a grandstand seat.
In some instances a portable radio was almost a necessity if one
were to follow the contest with reasonable success. Whoever is
responsible for the change is to be commended. It certainly was
I long time in arriving. Spectators who occupied seats in Waters
park back of home plate can now sympathize with the fellow who
attempts to view proceedings in soldiers Field. Chicago; the Coli
seum In Los Angeles, or any of those huge sports stadiums. He
knows that something is happending but isn't exactly lure what
it's all about.

(Associated Press Sports Writer)
New York, Sept. 27 UP)
Outfielder Cliff Mapes today
found himself the middle man
In a boiling controversy be
tween Umpire Bill Grieve and
the New York Yankees over
the squeeze play decision by
which Boston took over the
American league lead.
After t'mpire Grieve called
Johnny Pesky safe at home
on Bobby Doerr's squeeze
bunt in the eighth inning of
yesterday's game, Mapes, a
non-combatant, yelled:
"How much did you have
bet on the game?"
Grieve said the Yank fly
chaser repeated the remark in
a runway under the stands
after the ball game, the score
of which was 7-6.
"There's never been an um
pire found guilty of anything
like some ball players like
throwing a game," Grieve
commented.
In tha eonl of the evening.
Grieve said he still intended
to report the incident to Pres
ident Will Harridge of the
American league.
"I'll explain the Mapes' in
cident," he said, "and also tell
how I was pushed by llouk
(Yankee Catcher Ralph Houk)
and the manager (Casey Sten
gel). I kept Houk in there
because he was their only
catcher but any other day,
you know, both would have
been out.
"The runner slid undrr
Houk and that's all there is to
it. Sure, I could have made
the easy call, giving It to the
home club; but in my heart,
I know I made the right call."
Associated Press photog
raphers caught the disputed
play. Pictures show plainly
that Henrich's throw beat
Pesky to the plate. Whether
or not the tag was made he
fore he slid over with the
run. Is open to discussion.
Chico Staters to
Invade Bearcats'
Lair on Saturday
Chico State college, member
of the Far West conference and
co-holders with Southern Ore
gon College of Education of the
1948 title, will meet Willamette
on Sweetland field at 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
The "Wildcats," the third
group of the cat breed to face
Willamette during the season,
are coached by Ray Bohler,
one time Washington State
college great. His offense is of
the single wing variety and a
veteran crew is available to
make it click. Three all con
ference men are included in
squad.
Coach Stackhouse reports his
men came out of the Central
Washington melee last week in
excellent shape and should be
ready for their third engage
ment of the season.

Gallant because after 70
crippling Injuries and ailments
they were still able to field
a team in these climatic bat
tlesa team which may yet
rise ap and knock the Red
Sox out of the lead they took
over in yesterday's dark aft
ernoon at Yankee stadium.
Gallant because at the finish
not a man from Manager Casey
Stengel on down had a word of
quit in him only praise for the
guys who kept the final margin
from being lopsided.
"We could have folded after
the first inning when the Sox
scored three runs on us." said
Stengel. "But we didn't. We
came bark with four runs and
then we had what should have
been a safe 6 to 3 lead only
we get a couple of bad breaks
and what I think is a bad up
pire call and so we lose. Rut
we're not out of it never In
this world are we through un
til they bury us."
Regardless of their feelings
however, the statistics, as against
sentiment, weighed heavily
against them. There was the fact
that Boston, a game ahead with
but five to go, had its next three
outings against last place Wash
ington Senators a team they
have beaten 13 straight times.
The Yankees meanwhile play
the still spunky Philadelphia
Athletics, who can and will
throw top flight pitching against
them and who have beaten them
in several key games previously
this season.
Yesterday's defeat, coming
when victory seemed assured,
had many facets. It could have
been turned Into a glorious
episode, one for the record
books, had Shortstop Phil Riz
zuto been an inch taller.
For with only that much ad
ded stature, the runt shortstop
of the majors would have been
able to hold the line drive he
knocked down on Dom DiMag
gio in Boston's four-run eighth
inning, a drive which became
key single and which might in
stead have been an
triple play.
But what hurt little Phil was
that he didn't even retire one
man on the play and that,. in
stead of being three out with
harm done, the blow by Di
Maggio touched off the winning
inning. The fireworks in that
session were climaxed by Tom
my Henrich's throw to the plat
in an effort to cut off what
proved to be the winning run
the throw that was Just too 1st
to nail Johnny Pesky. ..
Bobby D o t r r grounded
sharply to Henrich and the .
alert Henrich gambled. His .
throw was perfect but so was
Pesky's slide and, even though ;.
the entire Yankee team storm- ,
ed around Plate Umpire BUI
Grieve, the decision a his
toric one stood pat.
There were other vital mo
ments in the game. Zarilla mad
two terrific catches in the sec
ond inning when he robbed
Johnny Lindell of a homer by
leaping up against the fence as
the ball was about to soar in.
Then he cavorted half an aero
on the next play to rob Jerry
Coleman of a Texas league hit-
possibly a double.
Catcher Birdie Tebbetts, on
of the old pros, got himself all
fouled up by going down to sec
ond after singling thinking
that Pitcher Mickey McDermott
had drawn a walk. He was tag
ged by about 20 feet. He also
threw a ball into centerfield to
catch a base runner when thero
was nobody covering second.
But as an old pro, battered
from two previous rough
games witth the Yankees, ho
also touched off the winning
rally against Yankee A eat
Lefty Joe Page with a sioglo
In that four-run eighth.
There were no other Waaler
league games.
