By Dan McGulre United Preu Correspondent San Francisco, Sept, 14 U.B The Pacific- Coait conference, split in two ai a duration con eeiilon to Tranaportatlon Direc tor Joseph B. Eastman, expects to produce a type of navy, ma rine, 17-year-old, and 4-F foot ball that may keep the turnitllei clicking as steadily ai In pre war years. The southern division con sists of three California schools, Southern California, University of California and University of California at Los Angeles. The northern division comprises Washington, Washington State. Oregon, Oregon State, and Ida ho. Two conference schools, Montana and Stanford, have given up football for the dura tion. Southern California appears to be the strongest of the "Big Three" In the Golden state, while Washington should be the "heavyweight" of the north, ' Trojans Tough The Trojans start with seven lettermen and a liberal 'supply of navy and marine trainees. However, California, with the largest turnout on the coast, A, looms promising, particular-1 ly since It inherited 11 players from Stanford and haa nine lettermen as nucleus. The Rose bowl Uclans lost heavily through graduation and enlist ments and appear outclassed. Four backfleld veterans are bolstering the disposition of Coach Ralph (Pest) Welch at Washington. They Include Pete Buslck, three-threat halfback and Nell Brooks, fullback. Jay Stoves, former Washington State back cornea to the Huskies campus via the navy. - Washington State, which toyed with the thought of giving up football, found a cargo of for mer high school stars and supply of n among tne en roll ees, and augmented these by "beating the bushes" for talent under the league'i now relaxed eligibility rules. Neither Oregon nor Oregon State figures in the pre-aeaeon ratings and could surprise only If their large freshmen squads are better than expected. Idaho may benefit by concentration of competition In the north. FOR FIRST TILT " Seattle, Sept. 14. u.

It iemi a tlmple itatement or fact, but chances are that no one In the United States will agree with us on all of our choices ex cept the chap who glowers at us out of our shaving mirror. One of our toughest Jobs was to decide upon the ell-star for third base to pick Veteran Vaughan of the Dodgers or Bob Elliott of the Pirates. Although Elliott had a slight advantage In batting .314 to .311 and In hits 170 to 168 we picked rough-and-ready Arky because of his proven experience and be cause he still is lightning fast afield and on the bases. The outfield also presented a problem, but we solved that by shifting Muilal of the Cards to center field and putting Bill Nicholson of the Cubs at his usual right picket post, and Dick Wakefield of the Tigers In left. We hsd to make this arrange ment of the outfield, or skip one of the grandest outfielders of the season any one of the three mentioned above. Welker Cooper of the Cardin als got the nod for the catching assignment after we recalled that Bill Dickey of the Yanks had been In and out. The three pitchers were easily picked: Spurgeon Chandler of the Yankeers with 19 wins and three defeats, Rip Sewell of the Pirates with 20 wins and nine defeats, and Mort Cooper of the Cardinals with IB wins and nine defeats. . In making these selections for our ell-star team we used every available figure, coupled with our own Impressions of their performances and check-up with other observers. We be lieve that this team represents the cream of the major leagues. But we know that many base ball writers, fens and Dlavers will disagree with us. And we welcome their criticism. It you disagree, and write In. pul-ease don't dtp your pen In cyanide. SINKWICH TALKS Tl Detroit Sent. 14.

LOAD : Timber P TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, CARDINALS NEED TO CLINCH FLAG World Series Ticket Applica tions Now Being Accepted Brooks Win, Lose. By Glen Perkins 'United Press Correspondent ' New York, Sept. 4 (U.fO The St Louis Cardinals have finally convinced their boss, President Sam Breadon, that they were going to win the National league pennant, for today the Red Birds' business office started ac cepting applications for tickets to the world series. That Breadon was a hard man to convince Is borne out by the league standings which show that the Cards, with a iSVs- game lead, need win only five more ball games to clinch the flag. If the second place Brook lyn Dodgers were to win all of their remaining 10 games, the Cardinals, playing only .200 ball In the 20 games left on their schedule, would still get under the wire first. Breadon put Ed Barrow, presi dent of the Yankees and a no torious pessimist regarding his own club, to shame In the "we haven't won yet" department because, the Yanks started ac cepting ticket applications last week and still need 10 games to clinch the American league flag. The New Yorkers, who clinched the 1942 pennant a year ago today, need to play only .800 ball In their last 20 games to win the flag even If the second place Cleveland Indiana win all their remaining 21.

Sunday closing law. The Braves eventually won the contest, 7-4 in 10 Innings. Whit Wyatt recorded his eighth straight victory In the regular contest vKh a six-hit perform ance and a 10-3 decision. The Dodgers gathered 17 hits off the efforts of four Boston pitchers while their ace righthander was fartrMng nine and walking none. Wyatt had a two-hit shutout go ing Into the seventh when the Braves bunched four blows to score all their runs. The seventh inning uprising broke a string of 24 consecutive scoreless In nings, 10 against the Braves, for the tall Georgian.
