defeat Salem and tie Eugene. For
those who law Eugene play here laat

will be readily apparent.
The Spartans are starting thl sea

ku one vear at Klamath Falla,
turned In an excellent Job and was
napped up by Corvallla to handle
the head coaching work.
Use Medford, the Spartana held a
summer training camp, and upon
the squad's return Ramsey released
a atatement that thla year'a team
showed prospecta of developing Into
the beat In several years. The Cor
vallla grlddera spent two weeka at
Newport beach, so are one week
ahead of the Tigers, who were seven
4ays at Lake of the Woods.
Corvallla will send a really
huge team against the Tigers.
Among the six returning vet
crane from the 1838 team are
',: Roger Anderson, S25, and Del
' Pitney, 200, both tackles. Bud

182, and several other huskies

are the two quarterbacka.
Corvallla has played no games to
date, ao It strength can't be gauged.
However, aporta wrltera In the Wil
lamette valley are unanimous In
declaring the Spartana will be one
of the red-hot clubs In that dis
trict, ranked right alongside Eugene

Then, If the two league winners play
a three- gnme set, the ball season

By BILL WHITE,

Thl may corns turprtM, but
there were tx other games played
In the major leagues yesterday dn
addition to the Cincinnati -St. Louis
feud or the National league title.
But none of the others had bearing
on a championship, which 1b why
the Cincinnati cyclorama was given
so much prominence, If you didn't
know.
The Reds moved so close they al
most could touch the pannsnt by
dividing the opening double-header
of their crucial four-game series yes
terday. Billy Myers' homer made him
the hero of the first game's 3-1 Red
victory. Then Mort Cooper hurled
the Cardinal to a convincing 8-0
decision In the second.

looks now:

There was cheering In Flatbusb as
well as In Clncy last night, for the
Brooklyn Dodgers wound up their
inter-city rivalry with the New York
Otants to hold a 13-10 margin In
the year's series.
The Giants won yesterday's first
game, 0-8, due largely to Carl HUb
bell'a fine hurling and his home run
after spotting the Dodgers five runs.
The Dodgers came back in the
afterpiece to win, 3-2.
Klrby Hlgbe tamed the Boston
Bees by allowing them only 10 hits,
thus ending Philadelphia's six-game
losing streak. Homers by Marty and
Letchas helped him win, 8-3.
Browns Sink Deeper
In the American league, the Phila
delphia Athletics clubbed four Wash
ington pitchers for ltf hits to win.
18-4.
The Detroit Tigers helped the St.
Louis Browns reach an all-time low,
handing the St. Louis club Its 108th
and loath defeats. The Tigers won
the opener, 8-4 and took the seven
Inning nightcap, 7-5, despite Joe
Gallagher's one homer In the first

BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 37. ( API at. Mary'a Gael and Edward P.
"Slip" Madlfen, annually a team and coaching combination aa color
ful aa any In the country, can be depended on to aprlng something
different each football season.
Once Madlgan came up with seven
linemen averaging 320 pounds. He
Improved on the Idea of combining
business with pleasure with his
special tours wherein the team and
rooters travel 11,000 miles to gee to
New York City to play Pordham. The
year the Gaels blossomed out in
green silk pantaloons was an eye
blinking event.
This fall St. Mary's will Introduce
a right halfback who Is a talented
adagio dancer. His name la Dante
Magnanl and he la so clever at his
off-the-grldlron specialty he gets paid
real money for performing on the
stsge.
Addition of Msgnanl gives Madlgan
two versatile halfbacks. On the left
side is Ed Heffernan. rated by his
coach with the finest passers in the
country. "He hlte 'em In the eye"
said Madlgan. "Our only problem has
been to find men to hang onto the
ball."
St. Mary's will field a team of ex
perienced players and from all indi
cations should have a highly suc
cessful season. Its eight-game sched
ule lists only three tough opponents,
