Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1942 Morton Cooper to Fling First Series Game for Cards Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: . Potential Power Shown By 'Pass, "Scout" Reports In the opinion of a highly qualified observer, the 1942 Grants Pass Cavemen, who in vade Medford next Friday night to battle the Black Tornado in the Southern Oregon conference curtain-raiser, have what it takei to become the most potent Cli mate City eleven in recent his tory. The observed is sports-minded, Ex-grld-coach Leonard B. May field, Medford high principal, who was among those present when the Cavemen and the North Bend Bulldogs battled to a 6 6 standoff Friday night. Returning from his "scouting" trip with notebook full of facts and figures concerning Jim Keith's aggregation, Mayfield re ported: "They have potentially the strongest team seen in Grants Pass in a number of years. 'They have a big line and their backs are very fast. Al though they used only six plays during the game they showed real flashes of future offensive strength." Mayfield war especially Im pressed with the blinding speed of Johnny Gray and Ray Clay ton, the halfbacks. Though they failed to break into the open for long scoring runs, every time they carried the ball a touchdown-threat was present. If, as Mayfield claims, the Cavemen are potentially the strongest team to represent Grants Pass In years, they 11 cer tainly make things tough for Lome Arnold s light and rather Inexperienced Tigers. We re member the Caveman machine of two years ago, with Bill Davis doing the fullbacking, which gave the Tornado a terrific eve ning before bowing by a 20 to 0 score. That was the only game Grants Poss lost, and If this year's outfit Is any better, or even as good, our boys will have their hands full. Before turning the remaining portion of this column over to Professor I. Pickem for his post mortem on Saturday's gridiron picks, we would like to officially place ourselves on record as se lecting the St. Louis Cardinals to whack the New York Yankees In the World Series starting Wednesday In the home orchard of the National league champs. Last spring, prior to the start of the major league laces, this department named the Yanks and Cards to meet In the fall classic. Not con tent to rest on those laurels, we now go all the way and tab the fighting, hell-on-wheels, surging, youthful Redbirds to overturn the American league champions. In a great, dra matic series. Now that we've won the world's championship for the Cards, Prof. Fickem can take The prognosticating professor turned In a surprisingly good batch of "picks" over the week end, missing only one game out of 12 attempts, with two of them ending in ties. Tulane crushed Southern Cali fornia, 27 to 13 insetad of being licked by the Pickem score of 13 to 0; Notre Dame and Wiscon sin tied. 7 to 7 instead of the Irish copping, 14 to 7, and Grants Pass deadlocked North Bend, 8 to 8 Instead of winning 8 to 0. Otherwise, I. Pickem did good as follows: Marshdeld over Medford. Klamath Falls over Redding, St. Mary's Pre Flight school over Oregon. Oregon State over Idaho; Washington State over Stanford, Washington over College of the Pacific, California over St. Mary's. Minnesota over Pittsburgh and William and Mary over Navy. The "batting average" for the first week, therefore, looks like this: Games Won Lost Tied PCT. 12 0 1 2 .000 FOR HUSKY GAME Los Angeles, Sept. 29. (U.R) The University of Southern Cali fornia Trojans leave Los An geles tomorrow for Seattle, where they meet the Washing ton Huskies Saturday. Before train time Coach Jeff Cravath is expected to make a few more changes on the strength of Sat urday's Tulane game. Yesterday the Trojan head man rewarded Jim Hardy and Howard Callannn, backs, and Don Clark and Bill Selxas, line men, with first team spots on the strength of their perform ances against the Green Wave. Pitching, Power, Poise Fact ors Making Yanks Fav oritesBoth at Peak. By Tommy Devine United Press Co-respo -.dent. ' St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 29 (U.R) Pitching, power and poise three factors that carried the New York Yankees to the base ball peak five times in the past six seasons make the Bronx B-mbers the favorites over the St Louis Cardinals In the world series opening tomorrow at Sportsman s park. The Cardinals will start their right-handed pitching ace, Mor ton Cooper, in the first game, The fans here expected Ernie Bonham to be on the mound for the Yankees, although Man ager Joe McCarthy has not an nounced his selection. A sellout crowd of 34,000 fans was assured for the contest which starts at 1:30 p. m. (CWT). All reserved and box seats have been sold for a week. Bleacher tickets will be sold tomorrow. Yanks 2 to 1 Whiie the Cardinals captured the fans' fancy with a great stretch drive that brought them 43 triumphs in the last 52 games, gamblers who aren t swayed by sentiment have Installed the Yanks as the 2 to 1 series fa vorites and Bonham as a 8 to S choice to best Cooper In the Inaugural contest. Bonham defeated Whit Wyatt o. the Dodgers 3 to 1 in the fifth and final game of the 1941 series. The veteran Charley (Red) Ruffing, winner o.' his last four series efforts, rookie Hank Borowy and Spud Chandler probably will start in the suc ceeding games for the Yanks with Johnny Beazley, a first year man, Ernie White and Max Lanier following Cooper as start ers for the Cardinals.

Ps Jack Cyddy By Jack Cuddy (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Sept 29. (U.R) Singing songs of praise for a particular individual in sports has never been my special forte. But as Larry MacPhail sings his baseball Swan song and enters the army, let me say that the red-haired former president of the Brooklyn Dodgers leaves behind a stronger single impression than any one man ever connected with the game. I know they call the Yankee i stadium the "House that Babe Ruth Built" and classify the great slugger as "Mr. Baseball." That is all well and good, for I have no wish to belittle the Babe. But to my mind, when the complex, Volatile MacPhail bid goodbye to Brooklyn, he left baseball men with a definite sense of loss Laughing Larry has been will be again, we hope one of the keenest, most complex yet clear-headed most intense and talented personalities ever as sociated with the national pas time. True, Brooklyn lost the Na tional league pennant to the St. Louis Cardinals. But even had they won and progressed to an eventual World series victory In a return meeting with the New York Yankees, Ebbets field and the Dodgers would never have seemed the same without Mac Phail. Larry's successor may meet with even greater success than the red head. Still it is doubt ful that the future fortunes of the Dodgers will make as strong call to public affection. It wasn't how many pennants Larry actually won or lost, nor the money he spent In acquiring new faces for the Brooklyn al bum. It was Instead that Inde finable something that the often truculent, always-argumentative and sometimes-dictatorial veter an of the last war lent to the Dodgers. His diamond deeds were le gion even before he came to Flatbush. It was his far-sighted genius that fathered night base ball into being a tremendous success in the major leagues. Earlier, he took his talents to Cincinnati and brought the Cin cinnati Reds higher on the base ball pile than they had ever been before. But it was In Brooklyn that he really fit Into the groove. He took a club that nationally had become a butt for humerous parodies and comic-strip base ball, making it a major league force that gained the respect and, at the same time, the lik ing of the general public. At tendance, morale and the Brook lyn bankroll all fattened with the advent of MacPhail. ALSAB TO CARRY I New York, Sept 29.

KIN FIRST GUESSING SHEET USO pigskin prognosticated are tearing their hair over last week's football scores. Twelve games were listed and the men from Camp White were asked to pick the winners and guess the right scores. Several upsets occurred which knocked all nor mal predictions right and left. Only three gave William & Mary the edge over Navy. The Navy seems to have something else to do this year and most of the squad is away on other maneuvers. William & Mary won, 3-0. Northwestern fell before the Iowa- Naval Cadets which put most of the boys on the losing end. Notre Dame looked an easy winner over Wisconsin but the best she could do Saturday was a 7-7 tie. Tulane, winning over South' ern California was another stumbling blbck. so everyone had eomethtng to cry over, ex cept Pvt. Joseph A.
