r Lopez May Be Picked As Sox Pilot By ED SAINSBURY Chicago ;U.Pj Marty Marion began a "one year vacation," ex penses paid, today while the Chi cago White Sox embarked on a search for a new manager, ex pected to end shortly with ap pointment of Al Lopez. Marion quit the job Thursday, but he gave the White Sox an opportunity to give him a vote of confidence or fire him. "I offered them my resigna tion with the provision that they pay me for 1957," Marion said, "and they accepted." His contract extended through the 1957 season, and he said he had no plans for the future, ex cept that he would like to stay in baseball. And he intimated that he would get that chance some time. "I want to stay in baseball," he said, "but I'm not going to coach and I'm not going to the minor leagues. I've got a couple of good businesses going and I like St. Louis. I'm just going to sit there and enjoy my vaca tion." Full Salary Marion said he understood the White Sox would have to pay him his full salary, an undis closed amount, for 1957 regard less of whether he accepts an other baseball job or not. Lopez, who recently resigned s manager of the Cleveland In dians, was mentioned as the new manager in Marion's presence and Marion made only one comment. "If it'i Lopez.- he said, "tell him to bring his pitchers with him. And if it's Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Yan kees, tell him to bring Mickey Mantle. Marion's disgust with the Sox front office began in the last week of the baseball season when Vice President Charles D. Comiskey said that his manager had done a "creditable" job. "They were not happy with my work," Marion said. "We all felt that we might have won the pennant and we didn't do it. So I resigned and they accepted." Yama Bahama Fights Gonzalez New York U.R Yama Ba hama, a former fishing guide from the island of Bimi, is fa vored to "hook" Tony (Tex) Gonzalez of East Orange, N.J., in their 10-round middleweight bout tonight at Madison Square j garden. The fight, which will mark Gonzales' first Garden appear ance, will be televised and broadcast nationally by NBC at 10 p.m. (EDT). Bahama, whose real name is William Buttler, suffered a ques tionable defeat at the hands of Pat Lowry in his last fight on Aug. 9 after running up a 23 bout winning streak. Yama was first announced the winner at Lansing, Mich., but one judge later changed his card in favor of Lowry and the decision was reversed. Grid Scrambles Have Loop Title Bearing; Clemson Victor 7-0 Grade School Football Tilts Moved to Monday West weather forced post ponement yesterday of two grade school football games. Lincoln was to have met Roosevelt and Washington was to have played Jefferson. The games will be made up Monday at the senior high school practice field. By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer The Oklahoma - Notre Dame game at South Bend. Ind., Sat urday is listed as the "big game" on college football's week end program, but there are several other battles which will have a direct bearing on conference championships and bowl berths. Clemson got an early start on Saturday's heroes Thursday by edging South Carolina. 7-0, in their annual "Big . Thursday" game at Columbia, S.C. The Tigers victory enabled them to take over- undisputed possession of first place in the Atlantic Coast conference and moved them a step nearer to a New Year's Day engagement in the Orange Bowl. Oklahoma A&M and Kansas meet today in a game originally scheduled for Saturday, while George Washington hopes to take over undisputed first place in the Southern Conference tonight against William & Mary. Iowa vi. Purdue In two of Saturday's most in portant conference games, Iowa, the Big Ten conference ro-leader, plays Purdue at Lafayette, Ind., while Georgia Tech will risk its Southeastern conference leader ship against upstart Tulane at Atlanta, Ga. Although Iowa is one of the 10 major, perfect record teams remaining, the Hawkeyes are five-point underdogs against Pur due. Georgia Tech is a 13-point favorite over Tulane but will have to be on its toes against tne Oreenies, who have knocked off Navy and Mississippi in their last two games. Another wing-ding battle Is ex pected at Waco, Tex., where ninth-ranked Baylor will enter tain seventh-ranked Texas A&M in an. important Southwest con ference clash. Baylor is unbeat en in four games, but the Aggies are the favorites off their upset victory over Texas Christian last week. If Stanford can get by South ern California in their Pacific Coast conference "pick 'em" game the Indians will be on the road to the Rose Bowl. But Chuck Taylor's young men will have to stop the Trojans' Jon Arnett, who will be playing his final college game. In the other major conferences, Princeton can tie Yale for the Ivy League lead by beating Cor nell, Colorado hopes to remain unbeaten in the Big Seven against Nebraska, and Montana State risks its perfect Rocky Mountain record against Colo rado Western. Irish Hopes Slim There doesn't seem to be much hope for Notre Dame in its tus sle with Oklahoma, which will be nationally televised. The Sooners dropped out of first place in the United Press ratings this week following Michigan State's 47-14 victory over Notre Dame, so they probably will at tempt to out-do the Spartans against the Irish. Top-ranked Michigan State, however, isn't expected to sur-j render its spof that easy, and will show little mercy against Illinois. Fourth-ranked Tennes see should romp over Maryland, fifth-ranked Michigan meets Minnesota in their annual "Lit tle Brown Jug" game, eighth ranked Ohio State hopes to bounce back from its loss to Penn State against Wisconsin, and Texas Christian, tied with Baylor for ninth, place, enter tains Miami. Other major games include West Virginia at Penn State, Oregon at Pittsburgh, Army at Columbia, Navy at Penn, Colgate at Yale, Northwestern at Indiana Iowa State at Missouri, Houston at Auburn. Kentucky at Georgia, Texas at Rice, Florida at LSV North Carolina State at Duke, UCLA at Oregon State, and Cali fornia at Washington.

Oregon Tech steps out of the loop to meet the Humboldt State JV's at Klamath Falls. Willamette vi Llnrield The "big one" in the North west Conference is at Salem where Williamette meets Lin- field. Each needs a win to stay in the running against Lewis and Clark. The latter has a non- conference game against Whit- worth in Portland. College of Idaho also plays a non-league foe, meeting Cali fornia Poly at Boise. Whitman invades Forest Grove Saturday night to meet Pacific ir the second counting game.

Vaughn, supervisor of the southwest region for the Oregon State Game commission, has cautioned hunters that any one hunting elk in Oregon must have a current elk tag on his person while hunting. In a message to the Mail Trib une, Vaughn emphasized that the provisions contained in the body of the regulations are binding, regardless of errors or misprints in a subsequent sum mary. Prospects for the elk season, which opens Saturday, October 27, are very good. Vaughan re ported that there will be more elk, more hunters, and the woods will be in better shape for hunt ing than last year. Most areas will be open wher ever roads will not be severely damaged. Reguations remain essentially the same. All of these factors indicate a larger harvest than the 298 bulls taken in southwest Oregon last year.
