"How the mighty hath fallen." and 'or our money those five words form a perfect description of the aerlea of etartltng events which transpired on the American sporta front on Satur day and SundBy. last. Take the case of Ernaat (Schnoi 1e) Lombardl. for Instance, and his ludlcroua performance In the final game of the world aeries between the Cincinnati Reds, champs of that bush league named the National, and the New York Yankees, best In the major American loop. Mr. Lombardl. It will be remem bered, waa considered quite a base ball player last year. In fact, be waa figured to be such a good base ball player that he waa voted the most valuable man In his league. His big bat produced a hitting mark of .343, tops In bto circuit, and all In all Ernest was deemed a, very skillful exponent of our national pastime. While not doing so well during the 1030 campaign, Ernest still was far from sinking Into baseball oblivion. He caught most of ths Reds' games and was rated at least third best In the league, at hla position. Prior to the series, Ernie waa tabbed aa one of the Cincy playera most likely to star auatnst ths Yankeea. If any of them did. Then came the crash. Ernie, the mighty batting champion nf the year before and bulwark of the Reds' team, hit the dust. Lit erally. And over his prostrat bndy, draped somewhere In the vicinity of home plate, scurried Yankee hase-runncrs i coring from third. As each Yankee spike hit Into Ernie's skin, the role lie was to play In the 1030 world series became plainer and plainer. -He waa to be the (oat, a goat more goatish than any since Rog er Pecklnpaagh booted the ball all over the lot for Washington In the 1U25 series. While Lombardl was the lone base hall "mighty" to fall over the week end, there were any number of foot ball great that had their props nackea out from under them. Wit ness Holy Cross, the east's nomina tion for a national title. And Ford ham, topped by an under-rated Ala bama team. And Minnesota, perren lal Big 10 titan. And Northwestern and Ita Bill Decorrevont. All were beaten and now, Instead of visions of undefeated seasons, they are try ing to pick up the pieces and climb halfway back up ths pesk from whence they tumbled.

By John Campbell PITTSBURGH, Oct. 10. (AP) In stalled as heavy favorltea, the dazzl ing Dukes from Durham, N. C, come to Pittsburgh this week-end to take up where they left off In the snow and mud last fall with a 7-0 victory over Pitt. But the de-fanged Panther, which went strictly amateur this year, won't concede a thing while anxiously awaiting tha big test. Saya genial Charley Bowser, new head man of football at the skyscraper school-house: "Well Show for Game" Duke seems to be a lot stronger offensively this year and their de fense looks Just aa good aa it did a year ago. But I'm very well pleased with my team'a showing against Washington and West Virginia and we'll show up for the game." Regarded for yeara aa one of the country'a outatandlng power teams, tha Panthers last fall began to ahow signs of alr-mlndcdness. Against the Cowboys of Southern Methodist from the Texas passing paradise, Pitt took to tha akylanea for an overwhelming victory. However, the rest of the sea son the Panthers stuck pretty much to power. But this fall began a new chapter. De-emphaslzed under a strict ac counting agreement with the Big Ten and minus three-quarters of laat year's "dream" backfleld along with moat of the regular line, Pitt defi nitely waa relegated to the second division In early season predictions. Washington Beaten A cross-country air Jaunt to Seattle, the expert figured, would Just give tha boys a rids and Jimmy Prclan'a Huskies a workout. But the Panthera won with a brilliant pasalng display featuring the pitching of "-Dandy Dick" Caaslano, Ions backfleld holdover. Cam West Virginia with a team generally regarded aa atronger than the one beaten 10-O by Pitt last year. Tha Mountaineers Buffered a 30-0 clawing. Coach Marshall "Sleepy" Olenn commenting: "We Just couldn't figure them out Last year we oould play a 6-3-3 de fense against their power, but when we tried that this year they passed us dlrzy." 1 TITLE TO LAURELS BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 10.

I FJFTH STRAIGHT Hans (Hitler) Schulx ran his Med ford victory string to flv straight In tha Med ford armory last night, setting down Pete Bel cast ro in a wild slugging match that lasted less than 10 minutes and ended shortly after Belcastro mlp&ed a sonnenberg, shot through the ropes and nigh shattered his head on the floor out side the ring. The wrestling gods were smiling at Schulz last night, for Pete, de termined to halt the big German's winning streak, dished out a brand of punishment seldom seen In the local arena. At no time did the Nazi horror hold the upper hand as Belcastro fired sonnenbergs galore, slugged the German dizzy and out- speeded and out-maneuvered his heavier opponent. If It hadn't been for that spec tacular trip through the hemp there could have been only one outcome a Belcastro victory, decisively but that Jaunt did occur so Schulz Is still technically the king of southern Oregon grappling. Pete already had one fall when the accident happened. He had nailed the German's shoulders to the mat In eight minutes, following a ter rific series of sonnenberg 'a that socked the breath from Schulz and left him helpless on the canvas. Belcastro waa well on the way to hla second straight tumble and the fans were whooping It up. Three times Pete battered Schulz to the carpet with roaring shoulder butts, then he stood the German against the ropes and rammed his head into the Nazi bread basket. It looked like the end. In some manner, Schulz staggered to the . center of the ring and Pete let fly with the purported payoff, a sonnenberg that would have snapped Schulz In two like a stick of kindling. Aa Belcastro soared through the air to annihilate his foe, Schulz sunk to the canvas and Pete, un-1 able to check himself, sailed out through the ropes. He struck hla back on the edge of the ring-apron, then clattered to the hard floor head first. Referee Earl Yoakley counted to 30 and at 111 Pete was attempting to regain his senses. Pete waa worked on frantically during the Intermission, and as the bell sounded for the third and de ciding fall he was barely able to stagger to his feet It waa mas sacre. Schuls, Inside of 36 seconds, had practically reduced Pete to a 101-pound chunk of nothing and, after knocking biro to tha floor with doubled-up fists, pinned him with a body press for the match. One flurry, at the sevenmlnute mark, saw the g rap piers take their beef Into the second and third row ringside. Pete kicked Schulz outside, then followed him, and the brawl waa broken up by police. When they returned to the ring Belcastro quickly tamed the German. El Pulpo, famous Mexican mat man, made his Initial appearance here by bowing to Cowboy Dude Chick In the middle event, but he displayed plenty of what it takes. The newcomer took the first fall In the third round with his pet octopus hold, a variation of the roll lng body scissors, after weakening Chick with a powerful body scissors. Chick ended things In the fourth heat with his airplane spin, revolving jj umes oerore dumping El Pulpo to the mat and pinning hira. El Pulpo couldn't come back and that was that. Speedy La Ranee took two straight falls from Dave Levin In the opener, both tumbles coming on reverse wrlstlocks so potent that Levin was forced to holler when. Levin was severely handicapped by two pain ful bolls on hts arm, and went down In the first and second rounds. SUB FOR OLYMPICS PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.
