OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Michefcsen Selected UP's Mentor Of Week By CARL LUNDQl'IST Vnited Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) His seal Is a lofly one but bis approach is simple Bud direct. 'We want to put Pitt back where It was when I played lor Jock," be said. Indians Out Of Running For MVP Title CHICAGO W Cleveland's as tonishlngly quick collapse In the final 10 days of the seasdh not only put the American League pennant practically beyond reach, but Just about wrecked the chances of Al Smith end Ray Narleski for the Most Valuable Player award. Unfortunately for them as well as the Indians. Smith and Narleski picked the time when the club rank to its lowest ebb to exhibit their poorest performances. In the considered opinion of those who have followed the fortunes of Vie Indians all year, the . tre mendous all-around play of the versatile Smith and the brilliant relief pitching of Narleski were the major contriouuons to Cleve land's near-succeesful defense of their American League title. Consequently it came as a rude shock to manager Al Lopez, along with Cleveland's disappointed fans, when Narleski failed in two suc cessive rescue Jobs in key games and when Smith went hitless in 12 consecutive times at bat in three losing games to Detroit. Smith, the Indians' only .300 hit ter, extended his hilless streak to 17 times at bat Tuesday night as Cleveland finally ended a week long victory drought with a 3-2 tri umph over Chicago. The failure of Smith and Nar leski in the waning days by no means erases their brilliant 'ac complishments during the major portion of the campaign., But It is likely to be seriously considered when the MVP Selection Commit tee gets ready to Judge the merits of the two Cleveland standouts against those of Ted Williams of Boston, Al Kallne of Detroit, Billy Pierce of Chicago, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle of New York and other outstanding candidates. Hays Clouts 49th, 50th . . . . One victory doesn't prove much and may not even establish a trend but at a quick look one has to conclude he s moving in the right direction. He's the United Press Coach oi the Week, big John Michelosen who wants to start a new olden era for Pittsburgh's Golden Panth ers. Last Saturday's J7-1 triumnh over well-rated California was sig nificant not only because of the surprising margin but because the team showed traits slnulrr to the Pitt elevens of the late Dr. Jock Sutherland. These things stood out: 1. A superior ground game with 874 yards gained rushing to 81 for California. i. A combination of single wing power of the old Sutherland style and a split-T' featuring some of the old pro tricks he picked up a? coach of the Pittsburgh Stcel ers. 3. Superb conditioning which en abled the Panthers to score three of their touchdowns in 92-degree heat in the fourth period when California was wilted and exhaust ed. ' Big John as the 39-year old Michelosen Is known to his boys, was a quarterback star under Sutherland, directing the Pitt eleven which defeated Washington 21-0 In tile 1937 Rose Bowl game. Michelosen emphasizes that he wants to keen the rugsed hiah school youngsters from the West ern Pennsylvania steel mill and coal country coming to Pittsburgh as siuaenis instead of being re cruited by big time colleges from all over the nation. Michelosen regards Pitt's sched ule as the toughest of any team In the nation. "We meet five teams that most consider among the top 20, Okla homa. Navy, Duke. Miami of Florida, and West Virginia," he said. "But we're not going to back away from any of them." MY Takes Two, Tribe wins By ED WILKS Just a few days ago Manager Casey Stengel said the New York Yankees had to win all their re maining 10 games to cop the American League Pennant. Now 4hey can wran it up by winning three out of five. It might not take even that much ef.'ort by the Yanks. Any combi nation of New York victories and or defeats . by second-place Cleveland totaling three will do it. Still, the Yankees don't have It hands down. They've won seven straight, matching their longest success streak ' the season, and have gained three games on tne Indians in the important "lost" column but they still have five gpmes left, one more at Washing ton tonight and four In Boston be ginning with a Friday double- header. The Senators, beaten 8-3" In the afternoon half of a day-night double-header yesterday, gave the Yankees a fit before bowing t-7 in the ntahtcan. Four New York reliefers paraded to the mound to save starter Whitey Ford's 18th victory as the Nats scored six times In the last two Innings. Cleveland, which went into a four-game tallspin after sweeping a pair from Washington, finally shook the slump with a 3-2 deci sion over Chicago as the White Sox officially fell out of the race. WIN-HOPE The Indians, with four games left another at Chicago tonight, then three at Detroit have to win 'em all and hope. OFFICE SPACE City Center and Quiet Main Street Entrance ' DREWS Monitor. Washington caught Ford by sur prise in tha eighth inning. Tne slubby southpaw had a four-hitter going and had retired 13 in order. Then ha walked a man, and pinch bitter Jim Lemon. Just up. from Chattanooga, walloped a borne run. It took Gary Coleman, Jim Konstanty, Gerry Staley and fin ally Tommy Byrne to get 'em back on the leash. The first game was easier for the Yanks, although starter Don Larsen didn't last through the second inning. Reliefer Tom Mor. gan, with help from Konstanty, 1 got the decision. The Yanks scored three in the first off Maury Mc Dermott, then scored the clincher' in the third as Hank Bauer dou. bled and moved across on two long flies. CLUTCH WORK Cleveland hung on as Early Wynn turned a 10-hltter into his 17th victory with some dandy: clutch work. Bobby Avlla triplrd home two runs to break a 1-1 tie in the eighth and beat Billy Pierce. The Sox, who were out win or lose when the Yanks won two. muffed a ninth-inning chance that collected Just one ru. Thev h-d runners on first and third with none out, but Chico Carrasquel hit into a double play. Then, with runners on first and second and two out, George Kelt popped up to end it. Detroit beat Kansas City 7-3 and Baltimore, leaving Washington alone in the cellar, made it six straight with a 3-3 and 7-4 sweep at Boston. The Red Sox now have lost six straight. In the National, Brooklyn took two from Philadelphia 6-3 and (-1. Frank Kcllcrt and George SWuba belted homers off the Phil's Robin Roberts.
