Ik PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Sports sv Briefs to r V Hugh "X" NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (P) Looks as if college iootball has no intention of letting the pros take first place in trie "gridiron gicture . . . Since Chairman Bill ingham of the rules committee first refused to heed the coaches' appeal for a couple of changes, the pros have been pointing out that their game always was more attractive from a spectator stand point and that they didn't hesi tate to make those changes last winter . . . The new rules adopt ed yesterday by the Eastern In tercollegiate Football association included three favored by the pros no out-of-bounds kickoffs, forward passing from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage and running with recovered fumbles . . . Most of the other major groups have gone for at least the first two and when the rules com mittee meets after the war, that probably will be regarded as an order to stay ahead of the pros. . NEVER TOO LATE When Mike Jacobs' press corps was interviewing Welterweight Aaron Perry, it took a lot of dig ging to uncover the fact that he once climbed the Griffith stad ium fence to see the Joe Louis Buddy Baer tussle . . . Seems Jacobs promoted the Washington bout and Aaron was afraid Mike might deduct the price of a ticket from his purse for Friday's bout with Jimmy McDaniels. SHORTS AND SHELLS Fred Lieb, who has written baseball since 1911. is out with a book on the St. Louis Cardinals . . . Local tennis experts are pick ing husky Louise Brough to whip Pauline Betz again in the na tionals. They figure sne nas ac quired poise to go with her pow er wniie .famine isn t as last as she was . . . The question of who owns Marcel Cerdan?" apparent ly was settled when Armand Vin cent of Montreal signed a con tract giving Mike Jacobs pro motional rights to the French middleweight.

It was the Giants' seventh straight loss. Mort Cooper protected the Cards' 17i game lead by scat tering nine Brooklyn hits for a 4-2 St. Louis triumph over Hal Gregg. The Phils continued to take the wind out of Chicago's second-place aspirations with Ken Raffensberger outpitching Les Fleming, 6-1. Young Emmett O'Neill con tinued to do his best to ease the pain of Tex Hughson's departure by tossing the Boston Red Sox to a 4-hit, 5-1, edge over St Louis. New York pulled one out or the bag to trim Chicago, 2-1, in 13 innings. Nick Etten saved the champs from a shutout with a ninth-inning homer and Johnny LindeH's double and a Chicago error gave Ernie Bonham the overtime verdict. Bobo New- som spoiled Detroit's visit by pitching the a s to a y-a mgni game verdict and Washington nosed out Cleveland for the third successive time, 8-5 with Al Car- rasquel winning and Steve Gromek losing.

Campbell suddenly felt the deck shud der beneath him and his boat began moving backward. "Hell's bells, I've got me a whale," shouted Capt. Camp bell. Then, still moving backward while its screw churnod . futilely, the stern of the Little David began to sink. Inex orably the gunwale dipped toward the water line, until Capt. Campbell cut loose his $400 drag gear to save his ship from foundering. As the craft lurched free, there was a loud whoosy and up from the depths off the port side a smoke bomb shot into the air and splashed back into the water. A few minutes later, a submarine surfaced about a quarter mile astern, - and continued on its way. The incident occurred last Thursday. Capt. Campbell had confirmation today of his fish story from a navy public relations officer at the New London, Conn., submarine base. St Loulf .. Boston Detroit New York Chicago .: Cleveland .
