Chicago, Oct. 20 (U.R) The
navy caused a drastic juggling
of several mldwestern football
rosters today by ordering 16 ath
letes from three universities to
report next week at other
schools offering naval aviation
training courses.
Football observers wondered
whether.thls long-expected shift
of navy" trainees could be the
"handwriting on the wall" for
some of the wonder teams that
opened the season well-fortified
with navy and marine talent.
While adhering to the govern
ment's policy - of "sports as
i usual," the navy has made it
clear from the start that its re
serve students would be subject
to call at any time.
Today's order plucked the
hard-hitting Vic Schwall from
Northwestern's backfield and
gave him to the eleven coached
by Ray "Gaumy" Neal at
Depauw University, Greencastle
Ind., a V-8 preflight training
school.

TORNADO TO PLAY
AT GRANTS PASS
FRIDAY EVENING
Expecting to bounce back into
the victory column after that
40-7 Klamath Falls stunner last
week, the Medford Black Tor
nado will travel to Grants Pass
Friday night for a game that is
rated strictly a tossup. Medford
defeated Marshfleld early In the
season, 14 to 0, and Grants Pass
downed the same team, 13 to 0.
Coach -Lome Arnold said that
Dale Niedermeyer, regular right
halfback who suffered bruised
hip and side muscles in the first
period of the Klamath game,
was a doubtful starter against
Grants Pass. The Injury, while
not serious, will take time to
heal.
In case Niedermeyer doesn't

from quarterback to right half
and Jack Baker and Jerry Clark
will operate at the blocking
back position.
Although taking the Pelican
setback pretty hard, the Tigers
have buckled down to tough
scrimmage sessions this week
and appear ready to stage a
comeback, the mentor said.
The Cavemen, who had won
three straight games before los
ing to Ashland, 20 to 13 last
week, have a light but fast and
tricky backfield behind a fine,
heavy forward wall. They fea
ture a strong running and pass

Tonight at 7:30 at the local

McCarthy Surprised, Sorry
Gordon Plans To Quit Game
By Carl LundquUt
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York. Oct. 20 (U.R) Manager Joe McCarthy of tha
New York Yankees, was faced today with the loss of Joe
Gordon and possibly Bill Dickey from the team which brought
him his seventh world championship in 1943.
wnen uoraon stunned the
baseball world from Eugene,
Ore., yesterday by announcing
that he was quitting the game
because he was "Just tired of it,"
he caught the Yankee front of
fice and McCarthy as much by
surprise as he did everyone else.
'This is the first we've heard
about it," one official said. "He
certainly won't make as much
money out on the coast as he
would with us. He never even
Intimated during the . world
series that he was planning to'
leave the Yankees."
McCarthy, informed of Gor
don's action at his home in Buf
falo, said that he was "surprised
ana sorry.
"Joe is a truly great second
baseman and it goes without say
ing that we certainly will miss
him," he said. "He has been a
mighty fine ball player with us
for the past six years and I
would hate to see him sten out
just when he is in his prime."
raci-artny baa no comment on
whom he might secure to re
place Gordon or Dickey, if the
ageless catcher goes through
with his plans to join the civil
air patrol at his home in Little
Rock, Ark.
Other members of the cham
pionship team may leave during
tne off-season, as in 1942 when
Phil Rizzuto, Red Rolfe, Charley
Ruffing, Buddy Hassett, George
Selkirk and Joe DiMaggio de
parted, but McCarthy, the ma
gician In the baseball uniform,
will manage somehow.
He did it this year with
refugee Nick Etten from the
futile Philadelphia Phillies on
first base, Frank Crosetti, a re
juvenated veteran on short,
Billy Johnson, as green as any
rookie in the big leagues on
third, and John Lindell, a faulty
pitcher and Roy Weatherly,
Cleveland Indian castoff in the
outfield.

Sammy Baugh Finds
Great Pass Galcher
In Ex-Gopher Sltr
Chicago, Oct. 20 (U.R) One
of football's greatest forward
passers, Sammy Baugh of the
Washington Redskins, can end
a seven-season search , for
"pet" receiver.
Baugh has found himself part
of an offensive system that
takes full advantage of the tal
ents of Wilbur More, former
University of Minnesota star.
The development of the new
passing combination was spot
lighted by the latest statistics
which show Moore in the lead
of National Football league pass
receivers.
In recent seasons the pro cir
cuit's most famous aerial duo
has been the Cecil Isbell to Don
Hutson combination. That was
broken up when Isbell retired
to take a coaching job. Hutson,
meanwhile, has been unable to
flash his usual brilliance while
counted with new passers. That
left the door to passing lame
wide open, so Baugh and Moore
walked in.- ,
Moore has snagged 12 passes
in two games for an aggregate
Kain of 200 yards. Tne KeosKin
star caught seven of the passes
Sunday aeainst Green Bay to
outshine Hutson by a wide mar
gin. Moore has raced for touch
downs with four of his catches.
