Horace Stoneham of the New
York Giants formally notified
Baseball Commissioner Ford
Frick today of his intention of
shifting his club to San Fran

gathered for a meeting at which
President Walter O'Malley of
the Brooklyn Dodgers was ex

of time for filing his notice of
intent to transfer his team to
Los Angeles.
Stoneham's formal notifica

National league owners were
scheduled to start their meet

half of the National Exhibition
Co., (the Giants) today filed
with the commissioner of base
ball his notice of intent to ac
quire the San Francisco terri

ruled Monday that membership

The issue had been raised by
Assemblyman Frank Bonelli (D

in Los Angeles last week. Bon

tax-supported schools, such as
UCLA and Cal., of tax exempt
institutions, such as Stanford

ed by which time a team was
required to notify the leagues
of its intention to shift a fran
chise. Permission for both the
Giants and Dodgers to transfer
to California was given last May
28 by the National league.
A club wishing to draft the
territory of a minor league city
must do so between Oct. 1 and
Oct. 31, according to baseball
law.
But the Dodgers were hung
up on a legal technicality fail
ure of the Los Angeles City coun
cil to approve plans for a new
Dodger home in that city. A
stormy council meeting in Los
Angeles Monday night ended
with opponents of the plan still
blocking the unanimous vote
needed for quick approval.
O'Malley goes into today's
league meeting, however, arm
ed with "definite" assurance
from Los Angeles Mayor Norris
Poulson that the council will
approve the ball park next Mon
day. Under Los Angeles rules,
only 10 of the 15 councilmen are
needed to pass the bill sit that
time and Poulson told O'Malley
in a telegram early today that
the 10 votes are lined up "with
out the slightest doubt."
Although there were reports
that one or two league owners
are opposed to granting O'Mal
ley any more time, indications
were that Poulson's assurance
would get O'Malley an exten

seemed all set to announce their
San Francisco plans.

"There is no express or im

preclude these universities from
the relationship which they have
established with the PCC and
other member institutions there
in," the opinion said. "It is also
clear that the legislature could
not condition in any way the
granting of these tax exemp

the constitution."
In brief, the ruling held that
the "fines,, penalties and for
feitures are paid from student
association funds and not from

Annual Upsets Foul
Sunday Experts in
Football Predictions
By HARRY WISMER
Written for the United Press
New York IP They've start
ed, those upsets that make the
coaches hair turn grey or disap
pear altogether, and make the
Sunday and assorted experts
look like anything but.
The Big Ten took it on the
chin in intersectional and out of
conference games for the first
time in long while, and three of
the five major upsets featured
western conference teams.
UCLA started it on Friday night,
knocking off Illinois. Stanford
and Texas Christian kept up the
pressure by hammering North
western and Ohio State. Then in
an old fashioned statewide rival
ry Notre Dame started off the
season in grand style by shutting
out Purdue.
In the one conference game
played, Michigan State showed
undoubted power in overwhelm
ing Indiana. The Spartans have
speed, class and depth. On the
right side of the ledger for the
Big Ten were Iowa's win over
Utah State, Minnesota's triumph
over Washington, and Michi
gan's win over Southern Cali
fornia. Wisconsin also messed
up Marquette in the other game
involving teams from that con
ference. Army Shows Class
In the Ivy league, Princeton
and Brown were supposed to be
the teams to beat. Brown met
defeat when a very well drilled
and well handled Columbia
eleven came up with a field goal,
something seldom used by the
collegians. The Tigers had a
rough time with Rutgers, and
were lucky to eke out a narrow
victory. Steve Sebo has a much
improved team at Penn. Penn
gave the Nittany Lions a battle,
and the Ivy league could pro
vide a lot better competition
than expected. Army could be
the class of the Northeast, the
Cadets showed plenty against
Nebraska and didn't go all out.
We'll know more about the Ca
dets after their game with Penn
State next Saturday.
Navy kept rollin; they'll hit
Notre Dame unbeaten. In the
Southeast Duke still appears to
be tops. You'lll have to pay a
lot of atttention to North Caro
lina State. The win over North
Carolina was considered just so
and so, but State really creamed
Maryland.
Auburn's win over Tennessee
boosted the stock of the Tigers
considerably and it will be up to
either Kentucky or Georgia Tech
to take them off the top rung.
Georgia Tech lost caste with the
SMU tie, but the bad weather
contributed to that.
Oregon State Shines
Oklahoma was idle. And Ore
gon State, the best in the West,
handed Kansas, not too bad an
eleven, a real tossing around.
From" what we can See they'll
stay in front out there. Stanford
and UCLA appears to be next in
line.
In the Southwest, there is op
timism from the standpoint of
competition both within the con
ference and in intersectional
tilts. TCU and SMU were both
orld
us.
w
Giants;
improved. Arkansas went well
against Tulso, Baylor topped a
strong Houston team, and Texas
was rolling as it shut out Texas
Tech.
Now for the professionals.
Five of the six opening games
saw the favorites bite the dust,
including the champions in both
divisions, the New York Giants
and Chicago Bears. The other
choices to fall were the Detroit
Lions, Washington Redskins and
the San Francisco Forty-Niners.
Now the stock of the Browns,
Packers, Colts and Cardinals has
taken a boost. But it could be
reduced next week end without
too much trouble.
