Portland --HPI The Los An
geles ' Rams and the Chicago
Cardinals fly in here this after
noon to make last minute prep
arations for their exhibition pr
fessional football game Satur
day night in Multnomah sta
dium. For Northwest football fans it
will be a "homecoming" for such
stars as Los Angeles' Norm Van
Brocklin, and Dick Daugherty,
and the Cards' Woodley Lewis
and Dave Mann.
Van Brocklin and Lewis were
teammates on the University of
Oregon Cotton Bowl team of
1949 and Daugherty also played
for the Ducks.
Mann played one year for the
Oregon State Beavers before
signing a professional contract
for football.
Rams Won in 1952
The two teams clashed once
before In Multnomah stadium
with the Rams coming out on
top by a 24-14 score in 1952.
That was the year Ollie Mat
son.' the ex-University of San
Francisco star made his pro de
but in football. He played most
ly on defense having just re
turned from the Olympic games
In Helsinki, Finland.
, Come Saturday night the 20,
000 expected fans may see some
real offensive fireworks with
both Matson and the "Flying
Dutchman" Van Brocklin on the
offense.
Van Brocklin only needs three
more TD passes to reach the cov
eted 100 mark and Matson is al
ways a break away threat.

ly said today.
But the major league record
of 2,620,627 by the Cleveland
Indians remains out of reach.
With 18 home dates remain
ing, . the Braves " must draw, a
little more than 26,000 per game
to equal the mark they set in
1954. In 55 home dates so far
this year, the average has been
30,244.
"If the weather is in our
favor, we should draw around
2,280,000," Eberly said. This
would be about 150,000 over
the record and "we could pos
sibly get more because of pen
nant interest.".

Brazen Hussy Named Penelope
Wandering at La rge in Bronx
B DOC omr.r.
Uniltd Ptess Correspondent
New York OrV A brazen
hussy of a platypus with the
classic name of Penelope and the
gall of a herd of ring-tailed mon
keys has been wandering at
large in the Bronx for a month.
A platypus is a little animal
from Australia, with a platter
where its puss ought to be. It
also has been called, variously,
a duckmole, a duckbill, ami a
living fossil. '
Platypuses by nature are, as
14-Year-0ld Youth
Stabs Girl Friend's
Father in Bedrpom
Lombard, 111. (in A 14-year-old
toy with an "urge to
commit murder" stabbed his
girl friend's father to death to
day and was trapped in his vic
tim's death grip.
Police said they found Clyde
Walker, a slightly built youth,
struggling beneath the fallen
body of his 200-pound victim,
Arthur Capitanelli, 37.
, They were lying in a pool of
blood in Capitanelli's bedroom.
Police said . the , youth told
them he "couldn't sleep" after
returning from . a party and
arose before dawn with "an
urge to commit murder."
Walked A Mile
Walker told authorities he
walked a mile and a half to the
Capitanelli home, found the
light on and the front door
open.
With a three-inch switchblade
Bnife in his hand, police said the
youth stole, into Capitanelli's
bedroom.
Capitanelli turned on the
light and screamed when he
saw' the teen-ager with knife
in hand.
"I didn't want to commit mur
der after I entered the room,"
police quoted the youth, "but
when he screamed I couldn't
back out." -
Police said Capitanelli was
half way out of bed to meet
his attacker when he was slash
ed across the face and slabbed
in .the chest at the base of the
neck.
Wife Is Nurse
Capitanelli was assistant ad
ministrator of Presbyterian hos
pital in- Chicago. His wife, a
nurse, was on duty.
But their three children were
home, and their son, Michael,
7, was asleep in the room with
his" father when the killing oc
curred. Two daughters, Connie,
13, and Gina, 10, were asleep
in other rooms.
Capitanelli's nephew, Joseph
Lovallo of Mount Iron, Minn.,
heard the victim scream and
rushed to the room to find him
lying atop' his attacker. -?
Lovallo called police.
Police said Walker had taken
Connie Capitanelli to a party
Thursday night.

the Scottish bard onge remarked
of a field mouse, "sleekit, cow
ering, timorous,, beasties." One
of the definitions of sleekit is
deceitful, and, believe me, that's
the word for Penelope. I found
out the hard way.
Before vanishing from her
Bronx Zoo home a month ago,
Penelope let it get bruited about
in public that she was not plea
sured with the mating overtures
of her platypussarian associate,
a bloke named Cecil. The theory
advanced after her departure
was that she jumped zoo because
she simply could not stand Cecil.
Publicity Stung
My opinion, considered and
kneaded for a month" now, is
that Penelope's skipping out had
nothing to do with maladroit
love-making.- It is clearly noth
ing but a publicity stunt, de
signed to call world attention
to the plight of platypuses. She
tried it once before a stunt,
that is.
That was in the summer of
1953, when she let it be known
that she was expecting. She did
everything but start knitting
little things. She began eating
enormously, devouring crayfish
like crazy. She busied herself
carrying twigs and straw and
other nest makings into the
winding tunnels of her mud
bank burrow.
Zoo attendants were certain
there was a nestful of
inside. This was big news to the
world of zoos. No platypus ever
had been born before outside
Australia and Tasmania. It was
a triumph for the Bronx. When,
come November, no Tjabes came
out, it was decided to go in and
get them. '
This involved digging out the
whole platypussary, a name the
zoo had assigned to the Cecil
Penelope home in a spasm of
whimsy.
During all of Nov. 5, 1953, a
dark and blustery day, a platoon
of us reporters stood shivering
and watching workmen remove
a whole mudbank. Bossed by
several platypus experts, they
dug slowly and carefully by
hand and trowel into a maze of
interlocking tunnels.
The more dirt they removed.
the tenser we all became. Final
ly only one corner remained,
then only two cubic feet, and
then a man reached deep into
a tunnel and pulled out a wrig
gling little platypus. A great
shout arose. Photographers
flashed then pleaded .for one
more.
The a wise old zoo hand said:
"looks like Penelope to me." It
was. There was no nest. No
young. She hadn't even laid an
egg. But she had done one thing.
She had put platypuses on the
front page.
And she had laid their plight
on the world's doorstep. Their
trouble is, they can't decide
where, in nature, they're going
what they want to be. They've
got a bill like a duck, no teeth,
dense fur like an animal, web
bed feet; they lay eggs like a
bird, swim like a fish, burrow
in the ground like a mole, and
have poison-gland heel horns
like a dragon. Can't somebody,
somewhere, make up their mind
for them?

Spott Memos
Wonder how long Don Larson's 1st
no-hit record in world series wilt
stand it was also the first per
fect game in 34 years of major
league baseball -last one pitched
was by Charlie Robertson of the
Chicago White Sox defeating De
troit 2-0 April 30, 1922 and, lo
cally. Crater Lake Motors' Ron
Weatherford pitched a no-hitrer
in the sofeball league against
Morse Motors last Monday.
More about Don Larson's perfect
game it was only the 7th perfect
game ever hurled in major leagues
and only 5th since beginning of
century . (more next week).
