The Cleveland Indians were second a Jialf-game away. In 1940, De troit moved to the top on Sep tember so and clincned tne pen nant on the third from the last day of the season. Again the In dians wound up second, a game behind, while the New York Yankees finished third, two games in the rear. ?Not to be overlooked is Ihe important fact that Detroit jumped to the top on Sunday by beating Cleveland twice without naving to use weir pair of aces, Dizzy Trout and Hal Newhouser, Who have notched 49 of the Ti gers' 78 victories.

The varsity won the ball game 14 to 0, but there really wasn't a great deal to choose from be tween the two teams. The reg ulars scored a safety in tho first quarter when Jerry Hicks was trapped behind the goal line by Tom Bessonctte after receiving a bad pass from center, and just before the half ended Bill Abbey chucked a pass to Rolllc Berry in the end zone for six points. Jim Palmer's attempted place kick was made. The first string scored again In the third quarter when players recovered a fumble on the re serve's thirty yard line, and with Bob Perkins and Bud Biehn carrying tho mail, Biehn drove over for the final count. Perkins' pass to Berry for the extra point fell short. One bright feature of the game was bunting. Both Hicks and Abey got off some nice kicks, and it seems this is one department Coach Marble Cook won't have to worry too much about. The boys showed plenty of scrap and another week of rigorous pracicc will make a lot of difference in the club. Tho line-up: r-LICAK YARHITY PELICAN ID TFAM Wit. Wit. Jim Palmer. ISO L.E.

The "Ghost" has crciitcd a stir in mat circles all over tho Pacific coast and the Mad Ar menian is one of the most color ful trestlcrs in the business. Wonder how Jack Kizer feels after his tussle with the Foxy Finn? It's six, two, and even in tho book that Paavo will recap comes for a titlo fray, comes for a little fray. Good old Rowdy O'Dowdy was a little hot under the collar, If he lias a collar, last Friday night. The- Pelicans were still in clined to fumble quite a bit in their intra-squad contest Satur day. That's not too surprising considering it was their first test under fire, but it would certainly be well for the boys to set it out of their system before tho Grant tilt. There is ono thing for sure, and that is you can't very well score in a football gamo if you don't have the ball. The official average weight for the team is 168 pounds for the forward wall ana 154 for the backficld. Not too heavy, is it? But remember David and Goli ath! , Baker Wins . ; Grid Opener BAKER, Ore..
