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. Ore-

Polo Grounds
Torn Up by
Giant Fans
By MILTON RICHMAN
New York IP! 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.

Wednesday and attended lunch
eons in Albany and Salem en

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.
