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."

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.

Much enthusiasm is being
worked up by wrestling follow
ers in Medford over this event
which is to go an hour or two
out of three falls. The Mask won
last week by a foul after Buck
Davidson, the ex-marine, tried
to rip the hood from his head.
Davidson tossed the referee out

legitimate wrestling.

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-

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."

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."
