Piitt Hops Webfoots Dei Closing Seconds BY HOWARD APPLEGATE Portland HP) University of Oregon's football team, beaten on a last-second desperation pass by favored Pittsburgh, will try to find a scoring punch this week to throw at UCLA in an im portant conference game for the Ducks here next Saturday night The gloom around Multnomah stadium last Saturday night was thicker than smoke from forest fires as the Panthers clicked on a pass play which traveled 22 yards with just 22 seconds left to edge Oregon 6-3. Oregon had nursed a 3-0 lead gained early in the third period when Jack Morris kicked the second field goal of his college career. His first, a week earlier, had beaten Idaho 3-0. Pass Stuns Crowd But despite the heartbreaking loss, Oregon made a fine show ing against a strong team and served notice on Stanford, Wash ington Mate and California that It intends to put up a battle in the four-team race for a Rose Bowl bid. UCLA, not eligible for the bowl, is a big hurdle in this race for the Ducks. Pitts burgh's winning pass came on a toss from Ivan Tonc ic, a sub, . to Art Gob, another sub. It came shortly after Pitts burgh had blown another scor ing chance by fumbling on the Duck 14 after blocking a punt on the 25. When, Norm Chapman of the Ducks pounced on the ball, hopes of the partisan crowd of 20,486 shot up. But the noisy cheers turned to stunned silence a few minutes later. .Shanley Top Star Oregon produced the night's top star, however, in Jim Shan ley, the workhorse kid from the Coos Bay country. Shanley packed the ball 19 times for 81 yards. He rambled 5 yards with the second half kickoff to set up Oregon's field goal. He intercepted a pass that started a webfoot drive which died on the Pitt 3. He caught a pass from LeRoy Phelps in the first half and rambled over the goal line only to find a teammate was offside on the play. And he played his usual fine all round game. Both teams lost other scoring chances. Pittsburgh drove to the Duck 15 with the opening kick off before it was stopped.

They tore up the turf, they tore up the seats, 'they tore up home plate and if Giant Owner Horace Stoneham had been around, they would have torn him up, too. "We want Stoneham with a rope around his neck!" That was the angry chant of a mob which surged against the center-field clubhouse after the San Francisco-bound New York Giants wound up their playing days at the Polo Grounds for all time Sunday by dropping a 9-1 decision to the Pittsburgh Pi rates. Of the 11,606 fans who turned out for the finale, Mrs. John Mc Graw showed the most emotion. "I'm not thinking of this as the last game here," said the widow of the Giants' famed man ager, dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief. "Im just think ing of this as the end of another season." Rush Home Plato Some of the fans sawed off parts of grandstand seats to carry home as souvenirs. Then one group made a rush for home plate, digging up and lugging, it away. Other fans took out for the outfield where they scooped up huge chunks of sod. When it was all over, the Polo Grounds had been picked clean. Many G,iant stars of yesteryear were honored in brief pre-game ceremonies and most of them came back to the clubhouse for one last nostalgic look after the game was over. "It doesn't matter where we go," said former southpaw ace Carl Hubbell, "This place will always be home to me." Hubbell said his most vivid memory of the Polo Graunds was the 18 inning 1-0 victory he pitched over the St. Louis Card inals in 1933. Four Big TO Teams Bid For Honors By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Based on their opening-game victories, at least four teams from the Big Ten conference should give defending champion Oklahoma a real tussle for this year's national college football crown. While Oklahoma enjoyed an open date last Saturday, Michi gan State, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan stole some of the Soon ers' thunder the first time they flexed their muscles this season. Michigan State employed 67 players in an effort to keep the score respectable but still wound up with a 54-0 triumph over Indiana; Minnesota trampled Washington, 46-7; Iowa ran up its highest score in 43 years in blasting Utah State, 70-14; and Michigan turned back Southern California, 16-6. Oklahoma swings back into ac tion this week against Iowa State in a Big Eight conference game. This contest shaped up as another "breather" for the Soon ers until last week end when Iowa State displayed surprising scrap in battling Syracuse to a 7-7 tie. The Big Ten's "big boys" have Saturday dates with compara tively weak non-league oppo nents. Michigan State visits Cali fornia, which dropped a 13-7 ver dict to Washington State; Minne sota hosts Purdue, which suffer ed a 12-0 shutout at the hands of rebounding Notre Dame; Michigan entertains Georgia, a 9-6 loser to Vanderbilt; and Iowa hosts Washington State, fresh from its victory over California.

Monday, September 30, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Day of Decision At Los Angeles On Dodger Issue Los Angeles OP) This is the day of decision for big league baseball hungry fans, politicians and newspapers who are press ing to bring the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles. It's the day the city council was scheduled to vote on an or dinance which would clear the way for Walter O'Malley to bring his Bums to the City of the Angels. If there's no joy in Flatbush, there was not much. joy and a lot of apprehension here, because a small group of council mem bers hoped to make some changes in the enabling ordinance. Just one councilman of the 15 on the council could force the issue into a legislative tangle with a "no" vote. The ordinance had to be passed unanimously on the first reading or wait a week when two-thirds or 10 councilmen would do it. Hoped To Stymie But backers of the ordinance figured out a way which they hoped will stymie the detractors and permit O'Malley to march into a meeting of National league owners Tuesday morning in New York City and announce that the Dodgers are going out West. Councilman Gordon Hahn ex pected to introduce a resolution which would commit the city to acceptance of the Dodgers on the terms already agreed on. A reso lution only needs 10 votes for I passage which bacers felt they had. Tickets On Sale For Grid Tussle At.
