Jackie Brandt destined to become the "lucky i knocked in three runs with a 13th" team to rise from the sec ond division to a pennant. The fighting Redlegs moved to within IV? games of the Na tional league lead when they made it three out of four over the front-running Milwaukee Braves, 12-2. Wednesday but the big test is just ahead. They will be on the road for their next 13 games and it's on the road that the experts say they can't win. So far. the figures support the experts. The Redlegs have a 32 '29 mark on the road and they'll have to do a lot better than that to win. But they're fresh from those three straight victories over the Braves and confident they'll come out on top in the three-team scramble. "It's a three-team race and we're up there to stay," said Manager Birdie Tebbetts, sound ing the keynote. "They've been counting us out for the last four months but we're not dead yet." Kayo Werren Spahn The Redlegs kayoed Warren Spahn with five runs in the sec ond inning Wednesday and went on to bang out 15 hits as ' they ruined the veteran southpaw's bid for his 200th win. Alex Grammas knocked in four runs with three hits. Frank Robinson hit a two-run triple and Johnny Temple and Roy McMillan had two hits each in the bombard ment. Hershel Freeman, who yielded one hit in a 4 13 innings of relief beat the Braves for the second straight day and raised his season's record to 13-4. Sal Maglie. aided by Don Bes sent in the ninth, won his ninth decision as the Brooklyn Dodg ers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, and stayed only a half game behind the Redlegs.

Eugene, Ore. (U.P.) Oregon Coach Len Casanova gave the Ducks some new offensive ma neuvers to work on at Wednes day's drill. "We aren't changing anything drastically," Casanova said, "but merely adding some new tricks here and there and also doing some changing as the result of things we learned from studying last year's pictures." Eugene (U.R) Coach Len Casanova, a believer in the old school of hard tackling and hard blocking, may put University of Oregon back on the football map this fall. The Webfoots. pushed around for nearly a decade, have come up with some of the best balance in the Pacific Coast Conference and right now the outlook is bright. Coach Casanova has 20 return ing lettermen, evenly distributed at each position. He has three ends, three tackles, four guards, two centers, two quarterbacks, four halfbacks and two fullbacks with experience. These boys, with the help of seven lettermen who have been graduated, won six and lost four last year. The lad who must carry the offensive burden for the Ducks is Jim Shanley, a 170-pound junior halfback from North Bend. Ore. Shanley gained 711 yards from rushing as a sopho more last year and the prospects for this year are even brighter. Weakness in Lin But to get Shanley into the open Casanova will have to build a solid line. "Right now I'm worried about the tackle and center positions," says Casanova. "We lost Lon Stiner and Harry Johnson from the tackle posts and while we have lettermen there, they lack the experience. At center we have Nick Markulis and Norm Chapman returning. Markulis was a linebacker and Chapman, a good blocker, is the only man Uwith offensive experience. The experienced ends are Capt. Phil McHugh, J. C. Wheel er and Bill Tarrow. But the finest prospect on the club may be Ron Stover, coming up from the frosh squad. McHugh prob ably will nail down one spot, while Stover would win the other. Along with Shanley in the backfield will be Jack Brown at halfback: Jack Morris, a sprinting fullback, and Tom Crabtree at quarter. They'll make the split-T DOWN more Orioles, 2-0, in the only other AL game. It was the first shutout of the year by a Wash ington pitcher.

Tough Schedule The problem then drops down to the defense. Loss of Dick James in the backfield hurts this department. But Casanova is grooming Len Reed, up from the 1954 frosh team, for that inv portant spot in defending against aerials. The Webfoots have a tough schedule this year, and made tougher by the fact that they play six of their 10 games on the road. The rugged part of the slate comes in the middle when the club tangles with UCLA, Washington, Stanford, Pitts burgh and California in a row, with all these except the Stan ford game on the road. The complete schedule: Sept. 22, Colorado at Boulder: Sept. 29. Idaho at Eugene; Oct. 5, UCLA at Los Angeles; Oct. 13, Washington at Seattle; Oct. 20, Stanford at Eugene; Oct. 27, Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh; Nov. 3, California at Berkeley; Nov. 10, Washington State at Eugene; Nov. 17, UCS at Portland; Nov. 22, Oregon State at Corvallis.

(U.R) Since no American has been able to whip a top Australian in the U.S. tennis championship, Aus sie tiUeholder Lew Hoad went out today to do the job himself in a quarter-final match against one of his sharp-shooting coun trymen, Roy Emerson. Five Aussies and only four Americans still were in the run ning for the title Tony Trabert carried off last year but one of those Yanks was on the verge of being knocked out. When darkness fell Wednes day night, Neale Fraser of Aus tralia had a 2-1 lead in sets and an 8-8 tie in the fourth set against Gil Shea of Los Angeles. They were scheduled to play it off today. , In addition to Shea, the other surviving Americans were Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, Dick Savitt of Orange, N.J., and Ham Richardson of Westfield, N.

Beaver Gridders Level Sights on Missouri Fray Corvallis. Ore. (U.R) The Oregon State Beavers ran through another full scale scrim mage session Wednesday and a jubilant head coach Tommy Pro thro declared "almost everyone on the squad has improved more since last spring than I dared hope for." Big John Witte, All-American senior tackle from Klamath Falls, was the standout in prac tice sessions. It was the Beavers' second full speed scrimmage in as many days. Oregon State College, Corval lis Twice-daily workouts con tinued for 42 Oregon State foot ball candidates this week, as the Beavers leveled full sights on the 1956 opener at Columbia against the University of Mis souri on Sept. 22 Coach Tommy Prothro, with 15 of his lettermen gone and only 14 holdover 1955 letter-winners on hand, .has been drilling a squad dominated by sophomores. Of the total turnout, 21 are sophomores most of them up from OSC's undefeated freshman group of last fall. Returning lettermen from last year include Norm Thiel, Bob DeGrant, Dwayne Fournier and Frank Negri, ends; all-American John Witte and Dace Jesmer, tackles; John Sniffen and Vern Ellison, guards; Dick Corrick, center; Gerry Laird and Ted Searle, blocking backs; Joe Fran cis, tailback: Sam Wesley, wing back; and Tom Berry, fullback. Newly elected co-captains of the squad are Laird and Corrick, two California seniors. Laird is from Tulare and Corrick from Lajolla. Each has earned one varsity award previously. Witte, in the best physical con dition of his career, continues to show the prowess that gained him all-America honors in 1955 and is sure to spearhead the OSC line. More squad depth is evident at most positions especially in the backfield where vets are be ing pressed closely by neophytes. Complete turnout list: Ends Norm Thid. Dwayne rVlur nier Terrv Salisbury.

Thursday, September t, 1938 Trimble, Vaides Chalk Up Sharp PCL Pitching Jobs By john Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer i Hollywood's Joe Trimble and big-winner Rene Vaides of Port land came in with two of the neatest pitching jobs of the Pa cific Coast league season Wed nesday night and Trimble came as close as anyone all year to the elusive no-hitter. The Stars' big right-hander held San Diego hitless for seven innings before giving up three safeties in the last two frames for a 7-0 shutout. Vaides was swift and sharp in blanking Seattle on four hits and the Bea vers backed him with a 15-hit attack for a 9-0, victory. In other games, the Los An geles Angels clubbed Vancouver 9-1 and the Sacramento Solons made it two straight over San Francisco with a 6-3 win. Pitchers Are Funny Pitchers are funny when they have a no-hitter going in the late innings. Afterward, some will tell you they didn't even know it. Some will say they didn't much care that winning the ball game was PAL Meeting This Evening Plans for the new Medford Police Athletic League season will be discussed at a meeting of the board of directors at 7:30 o'clock this evening in the coun cil chambers of the city hall.
