FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wadnesday, Pet II. 1944 UTILE'S HOPE IN By Carl Lundquiit United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 11 U.R) Coach Lou Little of the Colum bia Lions doesn't claim any patent on it, but he has come up with a new version of the volatile "T" formation and is hoping It funotions well enough next Saturday to upset Yale's well-regarded Bulldogs at New Haven, Conn. Neither Columbia nor Yale bas been beaten as yet, but there the resemblance ends. The Bulldogs have a wealth of man power along with a strong line and light but speedy backfield. Columbia, conceded to be little better than in 1043, when It lost all of its own games, al ready has established this sea son as a success by winning its first two games. If it could blast the 11 eleven from the unbeaten ranks, the Joy on the upper Manhattan campus would transcend any since the days of the 1933 team which beat Stan ford in the Hose Bowl. Little, who believes that re-' vision of eastern football rules has helped teams which are short on manpower, adopted the revised "T" formation to fit his Lilliputian squad. Called the split "T," It is more efficient than the regular one for small backs. 'In contrast to the regular T line, which takes its position with the tackles, guards and center bunched closely, the split "T line puts a foot or two of space between each player," Little said. "This spreads the defense and gives you a better chance of popping ball carriers through." E TO CLINCH TITLE Baltimore, Oct. 1 1 U.R1 The Baltimore Orioles needed but a victory tonight to clinch the Little World Series title. The Orioles gained their third win in the best-of.seven series last night by beating the Louis ville Colonels 10-0 behind the four hit pitching of right-hander Red Embree. The Birds directed a 13-hit of fensive against three Louisville pitchers and two first Inning runs charged Jim Wilson with the loss. The victory was the second lopsided shutout of the series for Embree. He won an 11-0 game from the Colonels in Louisville during the early games. He al lowed but one man as far as third base last night and all four of the Colonel hits were singles. DOERR SELECTED MOST VALUABLE IN HIS LEAGUE By Stan Mocbler United Press Correspondent St. Louis, Oct. 11 (U.R) A keystone combination that would be the fulfillment of a perfect dream for any major league manager Marty Marion of the St. Louis Cardinals at shortstop and Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox at second base bore the accolade of the sporting news Portland, Oct. 11 (U.R) It was nice to learn that khaki-clad Bobby Doerr, Bos ton Red Sox shortstop from Eugene. Ore., had been named the most valuable player in the American league during the 1344 season. Bobby start ed in the Pacific Coast league at the ripe od age of 17 and it is good to see the likeable Doerr hit the top. today as the most valuable play ers in their respective leagues for 1944. The National Baseball Week ly, singling out the infield stars for its annual awards, stressed their fielding prowess and gen eral all-around capabilities. In addition it created a special award of merit for pitchers, ex plaining that they were at a disadvantage In competition for the most valuable rating because they do not play every day. Re warded In this category were Hal Newhouser, the Detroit Tiger left hander, who won 29 games and almost pitched the team a pennant in the closing stages of the race, and Rookie Bill Voiselle of the New York Giants, who won 21 games in his first season. Special Distinction The award to Boerr bore a special distinction it was the first time it had ever gone to a man who was unable to finish the season with his club. Doerr, who was inducted Into the arm ed forces as his team was enter ing the late stages of the race, left behind him the second best batting record in the American league, a .325 mark, only two points short of the .327 mark with which Lou Boudreau of Cleveland won the champion ship. In addition, he was the standout fielding second baseman of the circuit, a record which he has achieved almost annually. However, the batting mark was the best in his Major league career of eight years and mark ed the first time since 1939 he had hit more than .300. For Marlon, unanimously de signed the outstanding player in the World Series just completed, his play was just a continuation of his all-around stylish ball handling during the regular sea son. In the series he handled a total of 29 chances, seven putouts and 22 assists without an error and was one of the top clutch hitters on either side. !

STRONGER QUINTS WILL BE FEATURE Woetng tfm for CTuslflea I3f Bomber Home From Europe Is More Popular Than Ever By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Oct. 11 (U.R! Probably the best-liked partici pant in modern sports is Staff Sgt. Joe Louis, the brown skinned heavyweight champion, who captivates almost as many millions with his genial, down-to-earth peasonality as with his brown - lightning physical prowess. G. I. Joe came back to the United States yesterday, after more than six months in the east ern Atlantic theaters of war, and upon the faces of every one. of the more than 30 newspapermen who attended his press confer ence was etched as much wel coming gladness as the gladness Louis betrayed at coming home. G. I.'t Love Him Capt. Fred V. Maley of San Antonio, Tex., officer in charge of the tour, disclosed, "the serv ice men white and black loved him wherever he went. And the civilian natives swarm ed about him In enthusiastic hero worship that Joe could scarcely understand. Even Ger man prisoners counted it a lucky day to be captured when Joe was at the front, and it seemed incredible to those prisoners that a great guy like Louis should be endangered at the front." eVterans of Resin Ravine were pleasurably impressed by the fact that, despite this overseas adulation, Jolting Joe's hat or cap size was still the same as when he came east to fight Primo Camera In 1935 nine long years ago. Nothing that has happened since then winning the title fighting for million- dollnr gates becoming perhaps the best known human being in the world has changed his own evaluation of himself. Head Unswelled That's the beauty of any ap proach to this unusual cham pion. His evaluation of himself has not changed, although he has changed much When he came from Detroit to New York to fight Camera nine years ago, he sat In his first eastern pwss conference reading the funny papers, and saying "Hughl Ugh ughl Ynp!" Completely on the defensive that day, because of self-consciousness and lack of worldly information, he did not give off one complete sentence But yesterday, when Captain Maly had completed the formal introduction to the mass inter view, Bomber Joe sat back in his swivel chair at headquarters of the army" special service divis ion and took genial command of the breeze shooting. His replies and comments were directly to the point, but wapped in home spun humor like big training gloves so no one would get hurt, not even Freddie Mills, the highly-touted British heavy weight. Joe said Mills pulled back his left hook like a man opening a taxi door, and he threw his richt like Southpaw Carl Hubbell ' sendin' in a screw- 3 DO YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR CAR? Sea U Top Pricei No Delay Any Mska or Modal Skinner's Garage A 143 S. RlT.Mld - Ph 3740 ball." It was apparent that Mills is mediocre. Will the next heavweight champion emerge from among service men? "He certainly won't be no 4-F. What are his future plans? "Best future in the army is a furlough, which I'll try to arrange when I go to Camp Sl b e r t, Alabama, . Wednesday." Were he and Billy Conn scared when their nlane in Enpland de- veloped a stuck landing wheel? "We was worried for Mike Jacobs who might not be able to put on our return befit.'' Did 12 straight nights of buzz bombings interfere with his sleep? "Noth in' could keep me from sleepin' entirely," said the greatest all out sleeper in pugilistic history. Will he defend the title, when the war is over despite his ring age? "I'll be only 31 next year. Us heavyweights mature . late. Remember, Jess Willard won the title when he was 36." By Jo James Custer' United Press Correspondent New' York, Oct. 11 (U.R) Basketball's lean years have ended and next season's squads will be generally 50 per cent stronger, President Ned Irish of Madison Square Garden de clared today in announcing an augmented schedule for 1944 45. Opening a week earlier than ever before. Garden competi tion will feature Detroit U. vs. City College of New York on Dee. 6, with an international flavor provided by the Univer sity of Puerto Rico's clash with St. John's College of Brooklyn on Dec. 23. Three other new comers to New York competi tion will be Texas Christian, Akron, and Valparaiso of Indi ana. Returning after a year's lapse, Wyoming will bid for the NCAA title it captured in 1943. "The trend is definitely to ward the more optimistic this year," Irish reported. "Teams will not be hit as hard by losses to the armed forces, and will in some cases be bolstered by dis chargees from service. A quick poll of New York coaches indi cates they expect to be 50 per cent stronger, generally, and we anticipate no falling off in attendance because the advance interest measured by season ticket subscriptions Is well above expectations." p. m. - i 6.00-16 - Closing time for Sunday Too Late to Claaslfy 6:30 Saturday afternoon Pleaso remember.
