Pickem Due To Open 1941 Season Tomorrow Flash: Professor I. Pickem, peerless pigskin prognosticate has sent word by carrier pigeon from his summer hideout In an unnamed area of southwestern Oregon that he will arrive in Medford with his crystal ball, slide rule and other forecasting equipment in time to make Fri day's edition of this paper with the first of his weekly dozen grid predictions during the 1941 season . . . Medford's Black Tornado will depend solely on the "T", Notre Dame shift and occasional punt formations this season, forget ting about that A-formotion Bill Bowerman tentatively planned to Install in the attacking pat tern . . . the coach explained that A-formation, employed with great success by the New York pro Giants, was too complicated to develop in the short time the Tigers had to prepare for the current campaign , . . We always knew Frank le Albert of Stanford was quite a quarterback, but until reading this week's Satevepost article, "He Clowns To Touchdowns," we didn't realize that he was 'Super Man," "Mandrake the Magician" and King Football himself all rolled into one ... If southpaw Frankle really Is as colossal as the piece indicates, it appears the Coast conference race is all over and the Shaugh nessy crowd is already in the rose Bowl again . . . Remember that old sidehill gridiron In Ashland, on which the west goal line possessed a considerable altitude advant age over the east end sons, and everybody thought the team "going downhill" had a big edge ever the defensive eleven? . . well. Bill Bower man punctured that theory the other day with the per fectly logical statement that, actually, the team "going up hill" bad the advantage be cause Its blockers were lower than playera of the club head ing "downhill" ... Bill ex plained that effective blocking can be done only by getting and hitting lowei than the op position . . thus, is dissipat ed another hoary myth of the gridiron. . . . i In our humble opinion, the cne ' thing the Black Tornado Heeds more than anything else Is a good punter In the back field, a guy who can blast that leather for distance when neces sary, a chap on the order of Stab Newland, probably the best kicker ever to wear the red and black . . . the club appears to have everything else, potentially -size, defensive strength, breakaway boll carriers, a fine passing attack and brains ... of course, if all games could be like the Weed affair, in which the Tigers were forced to punt only once, the lack of a punting back would not be cause for Some morning in the nnt few weeks, you'll wake up and find it's cold outude uncomfortably so for Summer underwear.

(By Associated Press) Sacramento failed to capture the Coast league baseball cham pionship after holding a 16 game lead at midseason, but the So lons are beginning to redeem themselves in the post-season Shaughnessy playoffs. "Pepper" Martin's Sacramento gang was in top position in the battle for the President's cup today after their second victory over San Diego last night. The Solons won 3 to 0, while the Champion Seattle Ralniers went down before fourth-place Holly wood, 4 to 1. The Solons pounded out nine hits off San Diego Pitcher Wally Hebert, bunching five of them when runs were needed. Turpin Blasted Hollywood accounted for all four runs In the first Inning against Seattle, getting five con secutive hits from Hal Turpin. The Ralniers got their run In the first, but Freddie Gay checked them with tight pitching after that.

SHIFTS EXPECTED IN TIGER LINEUP FRIDAY Jim Glenn May Start At Guard Against Corvallis, Stan Smith At Tackle. Coach Bill Bowerman of the Black Tornado was undecided today on the lineup he will send against the gigantic Corvallis high Spartans here at 8:15 Fri day night in the second home game of the season and the last until October 24, but he indi cated there might be a few changes from the array that opened against Weed last week. Jimmy Glenn, 193-pound guard-fullback who played most of the Weed contest at the lat ter post, may open at right guard if Cliff Jones, 166-pound fullback, is available for action. Cliff's father Is ill in a Yreka, Cal., hospital and Cliff was not on hand for yesterday's practice session. Bowerman said that if Jones were here Friday night, he would probably take over the starting fullback position, with Glenn moving into the line. Dlppsl or Orr The left tackle berth will be filled by either Ray Casebeer or Stan. Smith, and it will prob ably be Smith If the ankle he sprained in the Weed game is OK. At right halfback it will be Steve Dippel, the sophomore flash who tallied three touch downs against Weed, or Ike Orr, who is suffering from a Charley horse. The other positions are pretty well set, with Bill Wall and Curt Hopkins at the ends. Bud Moyfield at left tackle. Bob Mitchell at left guard, Stan Winter at center. Bob Stead at quarterback, and Cato Wray at left half. Drills on downfield blocking have taken up most of this week's practice time, and Bow erman is not satisfied on the manner in which the club has been reacting. "By actual count, we have had two downfield blocks all week," the mentor moaned. "They are getting down there all right, but they are Just running right on past the de fensive backs.

By Judson Bailey (Associated Press Sports Writer) The Brooklyn Dodgers are on the threshhold of the National baseball league's king row to day. Another victory for the "Bums" against the Braves at Boston and a defeat for the St. Louis Cardinals at Pitts burgh would turn the trick. This may not happen today, but it shows how close the Dodgers finally have come to clinching their first pennant in 21 years. Both of the rivals won yes terday, the Brooks 4-2 at Bos ton and the Redbirds 4-0 at Pittsburgh. It was Dixie Walker's 31st birthday and he celebrated by slamming out a triple with the bases loaded in the seventh inn ing to bring Brooklyn roaring from behind. In this inning Joe Medwick beat out a hit, Reese singled and pinch hitter Lew Riggs loaded the bases when t, force play on his grounder failed. Then up strode Walker, who hadn't made a hit all day. Left fielder Max West edged in close behind his shortstop hoping Walker would lift a little blooper as he had In the third Inning. Instead Walker rifled a liner over West's head to clean the bases. That was the ball game, although the Dodgers added another run in the next inning for good measure. Reds Clinch Third The remaining positions In the National league were finally settled in the other games. Cin cinnati clinched third place as Bucky Walters pitched a six-hit, 2-0 shutout against the Chicago Cubs, although the Reds them selves were held to four safe ties. The New York Giants sew ed up fifth place by sweeping a doubleheader from the Phils 4-1 and 2-0, with Tom Sunkcl pitching two-hit ball in the nightcap. He had a no-hitter for seven innings. In the American league the New York Yankees pummelled the Philadelphia Athletics 7-2 with Joe DiMaggio hitting two home runs and Atley Donald hurling a six-hit game. Thornton Lee pitched a two- hitter as the Chicago White Sox edged out the Cleveland Indians 2-1 and the St. Louis Browns downed Detroit 3-1 although outhit 10 to 6. The Boston Red Sox whipped the Washington Senators twice 7-2 and 3-4. Charley (Broadway) Wagner allowed only four hits and Dom DiMaggio hit a grand slam homer in the first game.

SLABS ' ,.V oeiao- Lead in Coast Louis Expects to K0 Nova Inside of 8 Rounds Monday By SID FEDER Greenwood Lake, N. Y., Sept 23 t,JP) Simply because he's the kind of a guy who doesn't like to work overtime, Joe Louis expects to knock out Lou Nova inside of eight rounds in the Polo Grounds ring next Monday night. Joe doesn t come right out in meeting with a prediction as to 'when they 11 be lugging Louie the Yogi out of there. Joe doesn't pick the round any more, ever since he made a slight error ore day in 1938 by tabbing himself to kayo Max Schmeling in a large hurry in their first fight. That was a bad one. But the bomber gave you the tip-off today as to how he feels about this outing. He tore through his training ritual up here in the Ramapo hills like a pedestrian crossing Broadway against the lights. He sailed right over sparring partners and drove through his floorwork as if he was getting ready for an eight-rounder instead of the full 15-round derby route. A couple of sports writers mentioned the fact. "Eight rounds?" he countered "Say. that's an awful long night's work, ain't it?" As if he felt he needed some thing special to counter the cosmic punch or dance-with-the-dynamic-stance that Nova will put on display for the 50,000 or so folks sitting in on Monday's proceedings, Joe has added a new wrinkle to his own reper toire this time. You notice it when he moves in to cuff his sparmates around. It's a little head bob and weave. Not much, you understand, but about like the small swagger of a fellow who's just put over a parlay on a pair of 20 to 1 shots. It doesn't help his attack any, but it should put a little more handicap on a sharpshoot er trying to nail the Bomber on the whiskers. HAWAII DEFEATS ELEVEN Stockton, Calif.. Sept. 25. (.T) Punching over two touchdowns on long sustained drives, Uni versity of Hawaii trounced Col lege of Pacific 14 to 0 last night for the second victory of its mainland invasion. The Rainbows uncorked a deceptive passing attack and moved 70 yards to score in the first quarter. Nolle Smith, 160 ound halfback, plunged across , from the three-yard line for the i tally. j John Naumu scored the sec j ond touchdown on a seven-yard ! run in the fourth quarter, after I Hawaii had marched 76 yards. Naumu also added the conver , sion. Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's Pacific Tigers threatened only I in the last 30 seconds of play. 1 Camicia passed 37 yards to the Hawaii seven-yard line but two : more passes went incomplete in the end zone and the game ended. Hawaii defeated Portland uni versity, 33 to 6, for the first victory of Its barnstorming tour last week. NOSE DIDN'T KNOW Sedalia, Mo.

E OF HUSKY ELEVEN Seattle, Sept. 25 VPV-On the rifling right arm and the power ful right foot of an untried sophomore will rest much of the University of Washington'! hope of knocking mighty Minnesota off its national football pedestal Saturday. Coach Jimmy Phelan named Sophomore Bobby Erlckson after last night's practice for the right halfback spot from which Dean McAdams sparked the Husky machine last year. While the betting fraternity was giving the defending myth ical national champions a seven point edge, a new-found confi dence was being reflected in the Washington camp. Phelan didn't say much about the Husky chances after last night's work out, but observers noted a smoothness and a sharper timing in the Washington offensive. Closing time for Claslfled Ads 9 . m.
