 The to licking the Tigers took yesterday left them dismayed but still fighting. All afternoon they reached for Bucky Walters sinker ball, swung and went down. Three stingy hits was all they were able to get and if Walters hadn't walked four men he might have pitched one of the classics of world series com- petition.
 But Walters had only half of the world series spotlight so far as the Cincinnati fans were concerned. The other half is occupied by Jimmy Ripple who smote himself a home run in the third inning with man on base and sewed up the game.
 Despite the tragic death of his father, Buck Newsom, winning pit cher for Detroit, will stay with the team and is certain to start another game. His father died early yes- terday of heart attack in Cincin- nati after spending the previous afternoon watching his son stand the Reds on their ears in the first game.

 OVER VIRGINIA Il

Yale, taking its 1940 baptism the Virginia Cavaliers, offered the feature attraction on Connecticut College gridirons Saturday.
 It will be the first meeting of the two elevens in 26 years and Yale was conceded only a slight edge over the southerners. Head coach Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond aE- nounced his starting team would in- clude Spence Moseley, a sophomore at the vital center post, and another sophomore, Jim Potts, would play in the backfield with Capt. Hal Whiteman, Hovey Seymour and Ray Anderson.
 Only a brief warmup drill was scheduled fo- today as the Virgin ians arrived for a practice session in the bowl.
 On the other Connecticut grid irons:
 University of Connecticut was pitt ted against Massachusetts State at Storrs.
 Trinity, with one of its backfield stars, Joe Beidler on the sidelines with back injury, takes on Uni versity of Vermont at Hartford.
 Wesleyan, swamped 41-0 last week by a powerful Brown team, was slated to meet Bowdoin at Middle town, seeking to avenge defeats o1 the past three consecutive years.

WORLD SERIES SHAPES UP AS

Turner or Thompson to Oppose Bridges Today;

BY HARRY FERGUSON Limited Press Sports Editor)

Detroit, Oct. 4 = UP.) - Growl- ing because their beloved base hits have been almost eliminated from their diet, the Detroit Tigers came back to their lair today, hungry for this afternoons third worlds series game with the Cincinnati Reds.
 In Briggs Stadium 54,0O0 persons will be leaning out of their seats. It looks like long, tough series. They're tied at one game each now and what happens on the new bat tlefleld will go far in determining the ultimate winner.
 Detroit's hopes ride on little Tom my Bridges, who has more curves than the Lincoln Highway. A vet eran at this business of throwing them down to the hitters when the world series pressure is on, Bridges knows today's may be teh only ser- les game he will pitch and he is ready to give it the gun. He is well rested and if his curve is snapping and snarling in its usual fashion the Reds are going to have hard afternoon.

 Manager Bill McKechnie of Cin- cinnati rolled into town last night still undecided who would pitch for him.

Dy 4OII 1NOOkNfA1N United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, Oct. 4-(UP)-An untried Holy Cross eleven rolls into Baton Rouge, La, for an intersectional clash with Louisiana and Big Three rivals Harvard and Yale make their 1940 debuts as Nv England's major college football teams swing into high gear this week end.
 The Crusaders squad of 35 arrived in the southern city today after the longest trip in the history of Holy Cross athletics. Coach Joe Sheeket- ski and his charges seek revenge for the 26-7 upset defeat suffered at Worcester in an early-season game last year.
 With Joe Osmanski, brother of the professional star and former Holy Cross captain, ready for his debut as a passing expert, the game may develop into a hurling duel as Louis jana has concentrated on forwards since it's defeat by Mississippi last week.
 Though Holy Cross is not rated al strong as last seasons club which was second only to Boston college 1T New England, the Crusaders may even the series on the strength oi their offensive ability. In addition to Osmanski,- Holy Cross has three other above average passers. Scouts report L. s. U. has a strong line bu is weak on pass defense.
 Several Crusaders including Full. back Bruno Malinowski have minol injuries but all are expected to set action. The Tigers will be at full strength for the game which will be fought under lights Saturday night Crimson Strong
 Only three 1899 regulars will be on the first team when Harvard makes it's initial start tomorrow against fair Amherst club. Coach Dick Harlow lost only four men by graduation but has instituted several shakeups to give the Crimson more punch.
 The three holdovers are End Loren Mackinney, Halfback Fran Lee and Captain Joe Gardella at fullback. Only Mackinney will play his same position. Guard Chub Peabody, an- other starter, gained regular rating during the 1889 campaign. Two standouts of last seasons mediocre team may not play. Halfback Charlie Spreyer, triple threat, has been job hunting. Center Burgy Ayres is side lined by injuries.
 Harvard should wear down the re- serve-weak Lord Jeffs and win by about four touchdowns.
 Yale may have more difficult task in defeating Virginia at New Haven, Conn. The Ellis have two capable backs in Hovey Seymour and Ray Anderson, slick passer who returns after a years ineligibility Virginia showed plenty of power in trouncing Lehigh, 42-0, last week Dartmouth is favored to win its second straight at the expense of Franklin and Marshall. The Big Green coaches, however, have re- 1 fused to treat the game as warm up. Sophomore Back Ed Kast and Guard Dan Dacey have been pro- noted to the starting Dartmouth lineup.

WADE, NEYLAND RIVAL COACHES,
 TO RENEW 'FEUD'
Vols 33,OOO Seats Only l=3 Enough; Colgate Out
 to Surprise COrnel
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan CorrespOndent) New York, Oct. 4. (UP)-TheyV be comin' round the mountain by the thousands tomorrow to see the top game on the nations football card-Duke vs Tennessee at Knox vile.
 This is the ''big one"-the game that has captured the fancy of fans from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, because it not only sends two grid giants into battle, but it marks the renewal of a coaching feud between two of the most successful mentors in the game Wallace Wade and Maj. Bob Neyland.
 Since they all cannot see this one, there will be plenty of, eyes for such topnotch attractions As Minnesota Nebraska, Southern California Ore gon State, Princeto Vanderbilt, In- diana Texas, TCU-Arkansas, Pitt Missouri and California St. Mary,s. And, some of the experts profess to see trouble ahead for Cornell, which will send practically the same eleven that went through 1889 undefeated and united, against a darkhorse Colgate team.
 University of Tennessee's Shields Watkins Field isn't the biggest in the country; it seats only 33,000, but it could have been sold out three times over. G0phers Up MinneSota'S surprise win over Washington last week makes Bernie Bierman's boys favorites over Me- braska, power club with little passing and less defense for the aerial game. Oregon State, whose only loss last year was to Southern California, has virtually the same lineup back and promises to give the Trojans an even tougher battle than last week-when they were held to a tie by underrated Washington State.
 In the three big intersectionals
 Indiana, Princeton and Missouri seem the logical favorites over Texas, Vanderbilt and Pitt respec- lively. Most of the coast pickers like California over St. Mary,s in this traditional encounter, but Red Strader's Moraga men are an un- known quantity and an upset is not unlikely.
 Cornell seems to have everything that carried the Big Red to a per- feet record last year and Carl Snavely has done his best to keep his club from becoming over-con- fident. because Andy Kerr has promised a surprise when he un- veilS his 194O Colgate eleven.
