FOR POWER PLAY
Southern California Well
Fixed for Grid Material
Coming Season Coach
Howard Jones Optimistic
By Paul Zimmerman
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
LOS ANGELES, 8ept. J4. (AP)
power plays, toe university of South
era California grid grenadiers' chief
weapon of assault on the football
field, will burst forth from a deoep
' tlve new tandem shift this fall, .
And If the Innovation works out
as Coach Howard Harding Jones
hopes It will the mighty men of Troy
may do something decisive In the
way of coping with a man's size
schedule.
From the stsndpolnt of material,
Southern California Is well fixed,
- what with twenty letter men, aeven
of tftem regulars last year, and re
serve assets no end.
Jones Optimistic
Even the reticent "headman," al
ways reluctant about praising his
men, admits his Trojans will be ss
good as last year, and be refers to
his 1980 team at Its best, which
y does not take into consideration the
Notre Dame and Washington State
defeats.
When the new shift was announc
. ed, Coach Jones said It would be
shelved for another year If the team
didn't take to It well, but with only
two days before the opening teat
with sturdy St. Mary's It is still be
ing used In practice.
The eleven cornea out of the hud
dle In a Jumbled mass, linemen In
the rear rank, backs on the line.
Comes the shift, a full seoond halt,
and then the ball Is snapped. It
may be a lateral pass, a long for
ward, a spinner, or a quick kick,
but moat likely It wl.ll be a power
tnrust tnrougn left guard, for this
is Troy's long suit.
Mohler Looks Good
' Orvllle Mahler, leading scorer of
: the Pacific coast conference, looking
better than ever this year, and Galus
Shaver, a fullback of two years' ex
perience will be the quarterbacks.
Jimmy (Sweet) Mustek, for two seas
ons first string playsr, will be shar
ing the fullback assignment with
Bray Plnckert, who ; was an all
Amarlcan half last fall. Ball Car
rying Is confined almost entirely to
these two positions under the Jones'
system. '
A veteran line, deploying from
Captain Stanley Williamson, center,
will be bolstered with two sopho
mores of great promise, Aaron Ros
enberg at tackle, and Ford Palmer,
an end.
The schedule:
September as. St. Mary's at Los
Angeles; October , Oregon Bute at
Los Angeles; October 10, Washington
State at Los Angeles; October 17,
Oregon at Los Angeles; October 34,
California at Berkeley; November 7,

"The greatest ball player I ever saw?" Dabby Street says. "Ty Cobb,
without question." Pictures above show the Georgia Peach In his cele
brated batting stance and pulling on e of his Incomparable slides.
By Alan Gould,
(Associated Press Sports Editor.)
No. 10 The Incomparable Cobb.
Gabby Street has seen many a great
ball- player come and go. He caught
Walter Johnson when the "Big
Train" was at his pitching peak. He
batted against Joe Wood, Rube Wad
dell, Ed Walsh. He played with two
of, the greatest all-star major, lesgue
teams ever put together for any pur
pose.
Who was the greatest all-around
player of them all?
"Ty Cobb, without the slightest
argument," responded the old ser
geant. ' "There's no one else even
close, no matter whether you talk
about Ruth or Wagner or Speaker or
any of them.
'Cobb was Just settling Into his
prime whsn I broke Into the Amer
ican league back In 1907," went on
Street. "Day after day 1 saw him
pull plays that have never been du
plicated. He could do everything,
and what a terror he was on attack I
He had a 90-horsepower brain that
nobody In the game could keep up
with. .
I'll Just give you a couple of Ideas
of the things he used to do. He got
to third one afternoon against Wash
ington. The natter hit a short fly
that Oeorge MoBrlde, our shortstop,
and a smart one, went back to the
edge of the Infield for. Mao figured
Ty would make a break for the plate
after the .catch and was all set for
him.
Cobb poised himself and was off
as soon .as MoBrlde caught the ball,
but as soon ss Mac's arm went 'back
for the throw Ty pulled up ss qulckiy
sa he had started. MoBrlde saw him
do It and 1st his arm drop. Before
he could recover himself and make
the) throw of Cobb was off again and
over the plate. It was one of the

smartest things J ever saw on a ball
field.
"Another day Cobb noticed an out
fielder playing out of position. He
punched a hit to the open spot, rhe
fielder moved over a little the next
time, but Cobb again placed his hit
safely. He outguessed that player five
straight times. And it wasn't an acci
dent, any one of them. ,
"Cobb didn't depend on sheer slug
ging, the way Ruth does, but he
could hit them far and wide when
he wanted to and with a ball that
was deader than the one we have
now.
' "Ball players and fans never really
understood Cobb. He was a Jekyil
and Hyde personality. Some days he
was a great guy, easy to get along
with, Others, you couldn't go near
him.
"He was high-strung and, as 1 say.
always thinking about two Jumps
ahead of everyone else on the field.
Guess that's why he found It tough
trying to succeed as a manager.
"I've found out you can't handle
all ball players alike. Some have to
be coaxed, others driven. Some need
advice, others get along great for you
without a word."

Walt Johnson's Washington Senators,-
Inspired by -the thought that
those fat fortnightly pay checks will
oesse coming around after the current
week, have won the opening round of
their "money" series with, the New
York Yankees.
By nosing out the McCarthymen,
3 to 3, In the first of four gamea yes
terday, the Senators Increased their
hold on second place In the American
league to one game and a half. As a
result, they will need to won only
one of three remaining games to beat
ont the Yanks for the coveted runner
up position.
Means Extra Coin.
While the general public might not
become particularly excited over a
Joust for' second place, taking the
stand that a club finishing out of
first plsce has nothing to look for
ward to except next season, the play
era have a vastly different attitude.
It means several hundred extra dollars
to each member of the outfit that
finishes second when the time comes
for the annual division of world series
spoils.
As It turned out, Vernon Gomez,
Yankee southpaw, made a coetly error
In yesterday's game. He messed up
Buddy Myer's sacrifice bunt In the
sixth Inning, and before he could
orient himself the denators had scor
ed all their three runs and had he
game on loe. Gomez was trying for
his 31st victory.
Indians, Detroit Spilt. ,
In the only other scheduled game
played In either ( major leagus, the
Cleveland Indians' and Detroit divid
ed a doubleheader. . The Tigers took
the first, 9 to 7, but the Indians
came back to win the second, S to 3
The Boston Braves -proved them
selves better for the day than their
home town rivals, the Red Sox, by

Rattler Hazard
Much Too Much
Declares Golfer
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 34. (AP)
Rattlesnakes In the rough are too
much of a hazard for any golfer,
George Rhal told Municipal Judge
Robert Kenny In small claims

nando valley golf club.
"The first time I played that
course I sliced Into the rough,"
Rlbal told the court. "The caddy
told ms not .to go after the ball
because of rattlesnakes, . but 1
started anyway. 1 killed one snake
with a niblick be tore I was any
where nesr the ball, and I never
did recover It. went right to the
clubhouse and went home, and
I've never been back."

Whiskey doesn't make roosters want
to wander. It makes them stay at
home and keep the nest warm, ac
cording to an article which appears
In the September number of Penn
sylvania Game News, under the head,
lng, 'A Drink or Two, Roosters Hatch
Wild Bird Eggs."
The article reads In part:
"Why mechanized America often
looks, wonderlngly upon her older
neighbors across the Atlantic, as. if
seeing them through a rosy haze of
romantic strangeness, Is aptly illus
trated by a contrasting bulletin re
cently Issued by the Amerloah Game
association. This Is based on a story
translated from a Gzecho-Slovaklan
newspaper of June 15, 1031, for Je
rome V. Jerome, president of the Long
Island association of sportsmen's
o'uba.
"While in the great American grain
fields this year farmers for the first
time were trying out a new attach
ment to save nesting game birds from
the blades of Juggernaut reapers,
Czechoslovak Km farmers were still
using hand scythes. The new Inven
tion here automatically flushes quail
and pheasants and permits the op
erator with a twist of the hand to
Jump the blades over the concealed
nest without disturbing It and with
out slowing down. There a hunter
with his dog goes ahead ox the
scythes, finds the nests and places
the eggs under lightweight setting
hens or even under tough old. capons
which "If given doses of whiskey un
til drunk, faithfully remain, spread
like pancakes, until the young birds
appear."

A good Una on the comparative
strength of the Medford and Eureka
high schools wlU be revealed In -the
game here with Crescent City next
Saturday the opening game of the
season for the local squad. Eureka
defeated Crescent, 19 to 0, ten days
ago.
On the same date, Klamath Falls
plays Weed, Calif., and the result
will give a comparison with the
Ashland high squad, who last Satur
day defeated Weed, 21 to 0.

The Burgherltes play Eureka at

In their ninth annual game.
Practicing Hard. -
Coach Burgher had his squad out
practicing on the new high school
field last evening, and Tuesday even
ing a scrimmage was held, with the
third squad furnishing the opposi
tion against the first and second
battalions. The second string looks
as big and fast as the first -team,
with Galinakl, Bennett and Flchtner.
The main aim, the balance of the
week, will be to get precision Into
the plays. Some clicked fine, but
the more complicated ones generally
stopped about the line of scrimmage,
because the line failed to hold
around the tackles. The backfteld
also showed an Inclination to get
tangled up with itself. When Coach
Burgher located the trouble, It was
Ironed out.
The lineup for the first game will
not be known until Just before the
game starts, as the selections will
probably be made Saturday morning

SCHAFF GLEANS
CLOSE DECISION
CHICAGO, Sept. 34. (AP) Ernie
Schaaf, the latest Boston heavyweight
sensation, today had his ninth con
secutive victory, but Instead of his
ninth straight knockout, It was on
the books as a hairline decision over
Ambrose "Tuffy" Griffiths of Sioux
City, Iowa.
Schaaf earned the unanimous de
cision of Referee Eddie Purdy and the
two Judges, but the preponderantly
pro-Griffiths crowd of more than -14,-nni)
which yatched the Chicago sta
dium's first offering of the season,
disagreed to such an extent that the
booing continued for nearly 15 min
utes. Griffiths, outweighed 31 pounds,
scaling 187 to 308 pounds for Schaaf.
and nearly a head shorter than the
stately Bostonlan, came up with one
of his best efforts.: Rated as an In-
and-outer, Tuffy was decidedly "in'd
lost mgm.. ne ouiooxea ocnaai most
of the way, and many times made the
latter miss badly with his vaunted
left hook. Schaaf wat workmanlike
and anything but sensational, while
Griffiths won the crowd by his busy
efforts.
