NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (VP) You
don't hear so much about the
"T" formation as a cure-all for
football troubles this season, but
the Shaughnessy-Halas system
still Is giving grid coaches plenty
to worry about ... At the week
ly eggs-and-coffee session of the
local. football writing fraternity
yesterday Major Harvey "Jab
bo". Jablonsky, army assistant
coach,' voiced the plaintive sug
gestion that he'd welcome in
formation on how Notre Dame's
"T" could be stopped . . . Bernie
Moore of Louisiana State had
one answer: "The way to beat
this T' formation is just not to
play anybody that uses it." . . .
Lou Oshins tossed in the informa
tion that the "T" can be stopped,
because his Brooklyn college
team uses it and hasn't been any
thing but stopped , . . And the
Giants' Jack Mara, with a nod
toward Sunday's clash between
Mike Getto's Brooklyn Dodgers
and the Bears, remarked: "Mike
had better try an O. D. T. de
fense." ... By the way, with all
these .variations of the "T" that
have "been tried, has anyone
come up with a "Strip T'.s" for
mation? ON THE GROUND FLOOR
. Pvt. Mickey McConnell of
Tort Knox, Ky., former secretary
of the Dodger's farm system, of
fers this proof of Branch Rick
ey's ability as a promoter . . .
When Rickey first took hold in
St. Louis, says Mickey, his wife
discovered' that their best rug
was missing ... "I took it down
to the office," Rickey sheepishly
explained. "Several-of the city's
most Influential men were com
ing out for a conference and I
wanted the place to look pros
perous." ...

Oklahoman: "I still like Henry
Frnka's explanation of the dif
ference between a high school

mentor looks for the position of
the ball after the first kickoff,
while the college coach glances
over his shoulder to count the
crowd." .

Sport Notes
By FRED HAMPSON ,
Associated Press Staff Writer
Coach Bob Mathews of Port
land university is no friend of
the- touring army and navy foot
ball teams ' ' J .
"Why doesn't the navy, or the
army if it wants to'-condition
a lot of men junk these touring
football teams and assign a
couple of stars to Portland uni
versity and to other schools to
tutor kids who'll soon be in the
army or the navy? -
Just think what the assign
ment of stars like Ail-American
Bobby Grayson, or Frankie Al
bert, or Dale Gentry would do
for our school. The kids know
these fellows for their sports rec
ords and would follow them to
the end of the world."
Mathews raised his' voice
against the show-window foot
ball elevens of the services for
other reasons. Speaking' of a
Portland game in which a navy
team appeared he had this to
say: .
"Here were 66 men. taking-
time away from a definite condi
tioning program to crowd over
loaded transportation, half fill a
downtown hotel, and waste an
entire week just to play a foot
ball game.

(Plnchhlttinj for Bob Ltonatd)
Discussion of an "extra game" for the Pelicans this year
brought Frank Glnnollt's column In tho Orcgonlan Sunday in for
a lot of panning at tho Quarterback club Monday noon for his
statement that Grant high of Portland the first club white
washed by the Pelicans this season still considered themselves In
the running for the mythical state title and good competition for
Klamath.
Tho upshot of it all is thot Grant supporters claim their team
suited up for the Klamath game :
after a grueling day-long trip
without rest. Frank Ramsey,
Pelican coach, soys Grant had
rooms reserved for them at tho
hotel and breakfast waiting.
Some Klamath supporters hove
the idea the Grant team spent
the afternoon at Klamath buy
ing 'cokes' for the girls instead
of resting.
Another "Grant high claim to
superiority over the Pelicans is
that they have statistics to prove
that Grant pushed Klamath over
the field. Klamaths answer:
You take the first downs I'll
take the touchdowns. Score:
Pelicans 15, Grant 0.
Other teams, too, feel they
could do better against the Pel
icans In another encounter.
Quoting a letter from Bill Love
of the Eugene Register Guard:
"We do not feci that Klam
ath is 28 points better than
Eugene as the score indicated,
and the boys only wish they
could meet the Pelicans again.
While they might not win, they
feel they could give Klamath
a 'he ' of a scare. They hove
virtually forgotten their de
feat, and are looking for a
clear record the rest of the
way. "
However, In the same letter
Love puts forth another possible
"extra game" entry and a little
praise for the Pelicans. Quote:

Marquette Quarter Knew Texas Tech Plays,
So Called One That Puzzled Raiders and Won
By TOM STIDHAM i
Marquette's Head Coach
Late in a tough, see-saw battle
with Texas -Tech ' at Lubbock,
Marquette had the ball in mid
field, third down and four. If
the Hilltoppers didn't click on
the next play, they were going
to have to punt.
Suddenly, and it's never been
explained, Harry Leysenaar call
ed an S-flanker, a Texas Tech
play Marquette had rehearsed.
Players remonstrated, but he
yelled: "I know what I'm doing.
Spread out! Spread out!"
Bewildered, the Hilltoppers
spread from sideline to sideline.
They had no idea of what was
coming.
Nor did Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders had never
seen a Marquette play like that,
They couldn't figure it out.
