would expect to meet her doing the
better things. such as attending NIL

GRID PROGRAM

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. CUP -
Football grabbed the sports stage
today. thanks to the Yankees, and
the diehards whove been lavishing
their affection on baseball can give
undivided attention to a grid sea-
son already we'll under way.
Although forced to share the week
end spotlight with the World Series,
seven big favorites were knocked
over and several of the greats
had to go "all OUT to remain un-
defeated.
While Army, Ohio State, Nebras-
ka, University of Washington, In
diana and Arkansas were defeated,
powerhouse elevens like Alabama,
Notre Dame, Minnesota and Santa
Clara were having close calls. Prob
ably as big a surprise as any was
the failure of any of the big three
Yale. Princeton and Harvard-to
score a point.
Ohio State, conqueror of Indiana,
was upset 14-7 by Southern Cali
fornia; Nebraska was edged 81 by
Iowa State; Washington was blank
ed 1870 by UCLA, and Indiana bow
ed 1872 to an inspired Illinois.
Pittsburgh was the only one of
the grid giants to win as expected
-27-0 over Duquesne.
California, the big powerhouse of
the Pacific coast, failed to get a
contest in a doubleheader. The
Golden Bears walloped California
Aggies and College of the Pacific
by identical scores, 48-0.
Alabama, southern candidate for
national honors, was able to make
but two touchdowns for a 40 VIC
tory over a much weaker North
Carolina State eleven; Notre Dame,
considered 30 points better than
Georgia Tech, won 14-6; Minnesota
was held to one touchdown in beat
ing Purdue TO; and Santa Clara
nosed Texas A and M, TO.

Chicago Bears, leaders of the west

OF the season TO the Cleveland

NAMED in the lead but right in
back of them were the Detroit
Lions who contributed an upset by

Yanks Win World Series in
Four Games and No Wonder.
Saws McLemore Cubs Were Lousy
By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. (UP)-
Howdy sucker!
mean you and you and you and
you and all of the other 2OO833
easy marks who paid genuine money
to see four baseball games which
were advertised under the name OF
.World Series"
Sport is not sport unless it is
contest. TIC make a contest you
must have two good teams or two
bad teams. David and Goliath
works out only in the Bible. On
the best day the Chicago Cubs
ever saw (and I'll bet you even
money they never saw a best day.
they couldn't carry the news to
Jake Rupert that his Yankees
had knocked their heads off.
Remember all the brave state
ments the Cubs made before the
series? remember how Hartnett
said "this is a tough gang that
can't be stopped?" In his heart
Hartnett must have known that
his team would be lucky to lead by
one run in one inning.
In short I think Hartnett and
his boys were taking you guys for
suckers.
Certainly if they know anything
about baseball they didn't enter
tain any hopes of winning. Looking
at it man for man. as I did several
weeks ago when 1 said that the
series would not be worth Is cents
of anybody's money, the Cubs are
children and the Yanks are men.
Let us start with the catchers,
Hartnett versus Dickey. Hartnett,
the great leader, benched himself
after three games and gave up.
Dickey was the best player on the
field through the four games. At
first base we had Collins versus
Gehrig. Mrs Collins is. the only one
who would choose the former. At
second base hogfat Herman was
grateful to walk on the same ground
Gordon did. At third base and third
base alone were the Cubs superior.
Hack was a tremendous player,
Rolfe only a $3.50 one. Let us pass
over the Cub outfield as quickly
as we can, especially gentlemen
named Demaree and Reynolds. The
latter is the only man who can air
cool an entire baseball diamond by
the wind he stirs up while missing
a third strike. Demaree is a sort
of outfielder who can catch only
particular sort of fly ball, the
particular one being one which
falls into his throat and lodges.
Against this sterling outfield set,
the Yankees only had Joe DiMaggio,
Tommy Heinrich, Hoag and Sell
kirk.
AS for the pitching staffs, all
can say is that more Cub pitchers
passed in review than Pershing
reviewed in 1917.
Let us stop and give the Cubs
back to Wrigley and Ford Frick
on the outside chance these gentle
men will have them.

LEAGUE THREAT
after VICTORY

Holtville high schools 1888 foot
ball team moved into one of the
favorite spots in the valley high
school league as a result of the
Vikings TO victory over San Diego
high junior varsity Saturday night.
Brawley and Holtville won and
tied in weekend games but were
unimpressive. Brawley defeated
Redlands, 60. and Saint Augustine
held a vaunted Calexico team to
a scoreleSs tie.
El Centre was relegated to fourth
spot among valley teams by the
experts as a result of a poor show
ing in the Cotton game which the
invaders won, 1870.
Jack Cray. who was anything but
| spectacular in the Vikings first
game. returned to his former great
ness Saturday night when he scored
the only touchdown of the game
with a 65 yard gallop on an end
run.
Holtville threatened the San Die
go goal on SO many occasions that
the valleys few San Diego high
alumni were on edge throughout
the contest.
Four times Holtyille moved to
within the jayceeS' 10. yard line,
then failed to score. Reverses, end
runs and line SmasheS were most
effective for the Vikings.
Zumstein. who place kicked the
extra point, played good ball de-
fensively. Knights, Sharp. Harlan
and Honda also looked good in the
line. Sriguchi and Yoshida gave
Gray wealth of support.
