PAGE TEN Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Order Of Finish Listed For Two Football Loops Juit eight dayt hence Mr. rootball will stage hii 1941 debut In thli town, and a mere eight dayi later the big college clubi on the Pacific aeaboard will itart ihooting holei in each other. So it'i getting about that time. That time when every alleged writer of a sport column In hales deeply, hoists himself up the tree of prognostication and creeps out on the sturdiest-looking limb in sight. Being no exception to this rule, and liking the looks of a certain limb not too far above the hard, cruel ground, we plan today to do a little guessing on the order of finish of a couple of grid loops. Besides, we want to get In our say before Pro fessor 1. Plckem, of which as a nredictor he modestly claims there Is none whicher, arrives on the scene with his week-by-week list of winners, he hopes. Taking up the Southern Oregon conference first. It looks like the campaign will davslop into two separate and distinct battles that for the first place between Medford's Black Tornado and the Klam ath Falls Pelicans, and that for last place between the Ashland high Grisslles and the Grants Pass Cavemen. We don't believe the latter two clubs will possess the man-power to seriously threat en either Medford or Klamath Falls, although football is the most unpredictable game in the world and such a thing as the Cavemen or the Grisslles overturning one or both of the ether two elevens is entirely possible. But not probable. Three of the four loop schools will open the season with new roaches. Frank O'Nell will be at Ashland. Buck Hairmer at Klamath and Justin 'Veakely at Grants Pass. There Is also the uosslblllty that Bill Bower- man, a reserve officer, will be called into active service. If this happens, all four of the outfits will have new head man. So, with fingers crossed, here Is the way we predict the teams will finish their conference schedules: 1. Medford 2. Klamath 3. Ashland 4. Grants Pass. Elaborating, we pick the Tor nado to finish frlst because their material will certainly be on a par with Klamath's, and because Medford. as proved by history, always manages to reach dizzy emotional heights when facing the Pelicans. Ashland, with a cob of regulars returning, should prove stronger than Grants Pass, which lost a considerable num ber of lettermen via graduation. Now for the Pacific Coast conference. The ballyhoo drums are thun- dering for Washington s Huskies and for Oregon's Webfoots, and even Prescott Sullivan of the 'Frisco Examiner selects the Jimmy Phelan elevent to cap ture the marbles. And that's something, coming from Bay area scribe. But it looks like Stanford to us, all the way. In every respect and no foolin'. As they lost only three regulars from last year's Rose Elowl champs, we can't see how they can miss being stronger than ever, and Washington, en paper, deosn't have the re serve strength. Oregon? Well, about Oregon, now, tor sev eral years we have watched the Ducks start the season with great promise, rated as dangerous "dark horses," and for several years we have watched the Ducks end the season considerably below first place. So. this writer Is MOT counting en Oliver's club to bitterly contend far the title. First division? Maybe. But not one-two. Hope we are wrong, but that's the way it looks from this corner. The finish? Here it Is: 1. Stanford 2. Washington U. S. C. Oregon California Oregon Slate U. C. L. A.

L00IE TAKES TO REDUCE LEAD Chicago Upsets Pace-set ters, 5-4 And 5-3 Phil lies Fall, 3-2 And 1-0. By Judson Bailey Associated Press Writer The Bums from Brooklyn were bruised and beleaguered by an ambush at Chicago yes terday. Up till then they had hoped to parade into St. Louis and salt away the pennant with an Impressive display of fire works in the enemy own yard They had a three-game lead and were cocky. They had lined up their pitching staff for the Car dinal series a week in advance. They considered the Cubs as close friends if not personal relations. After all, about half the Dodgers were former Cubs and last Thursday, while Brook lyn was being kept out of trouble by a drizzling rain, Chicago chopped the Cardinals out of the league lead by cap turing a double-header. It was a terrible shock, there fore, to have the Cubs stick a dagger in the backs of the Bums yesterday by winning two games 5-4 and B-3. Kirby Hig- the National league, had a. 3-0 dn g'f 'n, th?,.

The Cardinals met stubborn opposition from the poor but proud Phillies, yet managed to cop their double-header 3-2 and 1-0. The Cards were held to six hits In the first game, but one of them was a two-run homer by Johnny Hopp and Lon War neke and Bill Crouch let the tail-enders have only seven safe ties. Then In the second game Harry Gumbcrt pitched a mas terful three-hit shutout and a triple by Johnny Mize followed by Martin Marion's single in the fourth provided all the margin he needed. The Boston Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 in 15 in nings and the Pittsburgh Pirates outslugged the New York Gi ants to win 10-7 in the other National league games. In the American league the Boston Red Sox battered the Detroit Tigers 11-2. the Chicago White Sox crushed the Washing ton Senators 12-4 for Thornton Lee s 19th victory and the Phil adelphia Athletics downed the Cleveland Indians 6 4 BLOCK THIS EVE w..hlnnn Sent. 1 1 ;Pi Joey Archibald, the little Rhode Island jumping Jack, places his world featherweight title (New York and Maryland version) on the block here tonight with Chalky Wright, hard-hitting Los Angeles Negro, as the challen ger In a 15 round bout. If Wright can defeat Joey, and most local observers give him better than an even chance, he'll be accorded "remote con trol" recognition as champion by the New York boxing fath ers. The District of Columbia and the 40-odd stites affiliated with the National Boxing association will continue to rank Ritchie Lemos as the titleholder. It all adds up to one of those vistas of utter confusion which bob up so frequently along Cauliflower lane. Washington, I the site of the Archibald-Wright 'contest, refused to give the bout i championship status, but New York and Maryland did.

STORE XM II It I i J-3565 I OREGON, THURSDAY, SAN DIEGO KEEPS TOP POSITION BY (By Associated Press) To the naked eye it might appear today that San Diego and Seattle are tied for the Coast baseball league lead the regulation three numerial stand ings bear out the assumption by grading both teams with an identical .580. This is strictly an Illusion. Actually the San Diegans are about as far ahead as any club can seem to get these days in the unrepressed scramble for the 1941 pennant. They stand at .5802 In the field of higher calculation, and Seattle at .5798, with Sacra mento third at .5792. Thus San Diego's hold on first place is stronger than the Rainiers' claim to second. Although defeated last night by Oakland, 4-3, the leading Padres deserved to retain the top soot, for Seattle was again ! lained out of a double-header with San Francisco and no team should win the championship in a hotel lobby. It was Just as tight a squeeze at Hollywood, where Secramen to nicked the Stars, 2-1, on Chet Wieczorek's two-run homer in the fourth inning. Los Angeles and Portland each put on a handsome pitch ing demonstration, the Angels winning the first game of a double-header, 8-1, on Pete Mal lory's seven-hit flinging and the Beavers claiming the shorter nightcap, 7-0, with Byron Speece cn the" mound for a six-hit turn.

I BACK SEPTEMBER 11, 1941 Cubs Belt 'Bums' Twice New Substitution Rule Is Defended by Grid Coaches By Bill Bonl New York, Sept. 11 (P; Signals off, men! There's nothing wrong with the new unlimited substitution rule in college football that precise stop-watcn omciaung That'i the word today from Walter R. Okeson, chairman of the football rules committee, with a supporting chorus from Fritz Crisler, of Michigan, head of the Football Coaches associa tion, and Lou Little of Colum bia, No. 1 man in the coaches rules committee. The misunderstandings, as Okeson terms them, which arose when substitutions dragged out the Chicago and New York all star games interminably are due to failure to study the rule, and specifically one of its clauses, with due care. "Substitutions," says Okeson, "may be made at any time but they can be made without pen alty only when time is out . . . when, for instance, the watch is stopped by an incomplete pass, ball going out of bounds, etc., substitutions can be made with- out penalty. But if the attacking team fails to get the ball in play within 25 seconds after the refe ree has placed it, that team will be penalized. If the defending team tends to cause delay by sending in a substitute as play is about to be started, it is pen alized . . . "In short, if there are no sub stitutions, 25 seconds may be consumed in putting the ball in play. And if there are substitu tions, not a second more is per mitted." An Asrociated Press survey of more than a dozen leading coaches throughout the country finds the majority willing to go along. Jimmy Phelan of Washington says "I voted for it, I'm definite ly for It, and if it slows up play, I'll be disappointed." Bernie Bierman of Minnesota (which may not need any substi tutes) also feels the change "is going to be a good one." Portland, Sept. 11 (IP) The Oregon senior golf tournament reached the semi-final stage to day with Elmer Stoddard, Oscar Furuset, Rudy Wilhelm and E. E. Wilson still in the running. Stoddard, the medalist, beat Ralph C. Parker, Portland, 3 and 1; Furuset eliminated Roy Nelson. Portland, 4 and 2; Wil helm turned in an easy 3 and 3 victory over C. D. Christensen, Portland, and Wilson edged out Joe Henkle, Oswego, 3 and 2. Stoddard will play Furuset and Wilhelm will meet Wilson this afternoon.

It's an old Stein custom, de signed to keep the Gophers on their toes. This sign refers to Minnesota's game at the Uni versity of Washington Septem ber 27, one of four top-notch contests in which Big Ten teams will participate on that opening day of the season.
