Stengel and Shotton Hold
Firm IHIopes of Series Win
By LEO H. PETERSEN
(United Prs Sportx Editor)
New York, Oct. 4 (U.RJ Whew,
it was close, they all say, and the
New York Yankees and Brook
lyn Dodgers, recovering rapidly
from the strain of their bruising
pennant battles, agreed on only
one thing today:
That the world series opening
tomorrow at Yankee stadium
figures to be just as tight.
If it is, the issue won't be de-
figure there is any difference
except me and the Yankees,
Of course, we know we're go
ing to win, just like we knew
all season long we were going
to win the American league
pennant.
"But w know it's going to
be tough maybe even tough
er than it was winning the
pennant."
Shotton, usually picutred as a
gentle, kindly man, was short
eided until the ninth inning of and snappy when it came to dis
cussing the series, but he did go
so far as to admit:
the seventh game, for nothing
could be closer than the two pen
nant races were. After battling
only 18 days of short of six
months without deciding the
winners, tney finally were deter-I a r
mined in the last three hours of AnnOUflCCd TOF
the 1949 major league season on
Sunday.
The rival pilots, Casey Stengel
of the Yankees and Burt Shotton
of the Dodgers acted coy and re
fused to divulge any information
on their series plans. But, like
their players, they agreed the
series was a toss-uo with each

"Just look at the two ball, Brooklyn

cide the winner just as they
did in our pennant triumph.
"I said alt winter long we
were going to win the pen
nant We did. Now 1 say we
ara going to win the series.
We will."
There was a chance that both
managers would announce their
starting lineups and pitchers at
noon today. It was almost a sure
bet that Stengel will, but no one
knew just what Shotton might
do.
There were indications he
would continue the practice of
the 1947 subway series when he
refused to name his starting
pitcher until just before each
days game. He said he didn't
want "to worry my pitchers."
It still figured to be string

hander who won 35 games, for
the Dodgers, against stocky
Ed Lopat, another southpaw,
for the Yankees. Lopat also re
gistered 15 triumphs, but he
lost 10 while Roe dropped but
six.

Football Insurance
Operating under a student mutual plan, the Oregon School
Activities association is attempting to set up a workable insurance
program to cover accidents incurred in various competitive
sports. Because football is responsible for more injuries than
any other single activity, the fe of $5.50 per student is the
greatest. Hockey, wrestling and boxing are classified as second
hazardous sports and for this reason the fee is $5 in each in
stance. The assessment for basketball is $2, while baseball, soft
ball, golf, swimming and tennis the fee is 1.50.
Deficit Incurred
During the 1948-49 season when the fee on football cov
erage was $5, the program wound up with a deficit of $1513.
It was because of this deficit that decision was reached to
increase the insurance charge. A perusal of the report is
illuminating that In almost every Instance where a large
number of students were covered a profit instead of a deficit
was shown. For instance 118 pupils in the Salem system took
. out the Insurance. Twenty accidents were reported but the
school was credited with $351.00 above the expense involved.
All of the Portland high schools, with one exception, each
with heavy coverage, turned in considerably more into the
insurance fund than was involved in -the expense of caring
for the Injuries. However, Albany, Eugene, Medford and
Grants Pass each cost the fund more than was contributed.
In the case of Albany, 52 boys were covered and 42 acci
dents were reported for a deficit of $514.35. Some of the
smaller communities which may not have the physical pro
grams of the larger schools, hit the fund pretty hard.
Prospect was one of these with 11 boys covered and 1 acci
dents for a deficit of $179.

Rules Draw Fire
The ST changes in the rules and regulations covering football
have drawn some fire from officials and coaches as well as a
number of spectators. Lack of uniformity in Interpreting the new
directives is reported as a result of the first game of the season.
During the last part of the Oregon-UCLA tilt the Bruins sub
stituted freely and apparently didn't mind the five yard penal
tie slapped on since the clock was permitted to run. They were
playing against the clock and when tth Webfoots finally gained
possession there was Just about time for one last moment play.
To be sure the Bruins were penalized for their apparent stalling
taotioa but as long as they prevented the opposition from gain
ing possession of the ball what did they care.
Clipping Modification
Another rule change that will bear watching as the
season progresses is the one that modifies clipping, L'nder the
new interpretation a man struck In the back above the
waist line doesn't constitute clipping. With this In mind, a
player who wanted to be a bit dirty in his tactics, could easily
plough into an unsuspecting opponent and just about snap
his head off. It certainly places a burden on the officials as
well as the coaching staff.
