largely today on what the front

Philadelphia Athletics.
No American League Club has

NEW YORK, Oct. 4. (UP)-They-
II be comm 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 only sends two grid gi-
ants 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, Princeton Vanderbilt, IN
diana Texas, TCU-Arkansas, Pitt

And, some of the experts profess
to see trouble ahead for Cornell,

The Bruins showed a fine line
and good all around defensive work
with the exception of passes in the
short zone last week but their sole
offensive threat appeared to be ts1e
fleet Jackie Robinson. The lack Of
a good passer and a. good blocking
back to clear the way for Robinson
was their greatest drawbacks.
Coach Edwin (Babe) Horrell has
been working all week to improve
the timing and TO develop an often
sive punch in the backfield and if
he has succeeded, the Bruins may
squeak past the Broncos.

ball game.
Thus far the Reds have scored
seven runs in two games, Ripple
has driven in three of them-one

He's made only two hits but both

It's terrifying to mild Will Nc
Kechnie to think of how close he

world series after pulling the

Brooklyn via Montreal. In the
Reds last game Of the season Sun

An exchange of punts gave Calexico

Webster hit center for one to carry

Calexico seriously threatened on

night the leagues newest member
spilled Calipatria Hornets, 200, IN
practice game.
Imperial. which opens its regular
season against El Centro next Fri
day night. scored in each OF the final
three periods and presented one OF
the smoothest passing attacks ever
developed at Tiger field.
Otis King, all-valley end from
Calexico who transferred to Impe-
rial. was the offensive star of the
ball game He tossed two touchdown
passes to Jack Googe from his full
back position and ran the third I'M
perial tally. His kicking was also
something to make Coach Klein
happy because he averaged AZ yards
per boot.
Imperial went to work in the sec

kin. The Tigers moved the ball to
the Imperial As where King tossed
a 40 yard pass to Googe and Jack
crossed the goal line unmolested.
King and Googe gave repeat
performance in the third period on
another 40 yard pass and then King
climaxed his evening chores by
romping AZ yards to the two yard
line in the fourth period. King
went over on the next play. He
kicked two out of three conversions.
Calipatria never threatened and
passed midfield only once when
Stames passed to Fleming who lat
eraied to Sorenson for a substantial
gain. Stames. Fleming, Shuts and
Sorenson were outstanding for the
orthenders.
Bob Havens, Jim Murphy. King,

DETROIT. Oct. 4 CUP) The
Ripple-Jimmy Ripple of the Reds
turned out to be a tidal wave.
Only five weeks ago, Ripple was
across the border in Canada, play
ing the outfield for the Montreal
international league club and little
dreaming he'd be one of the stellar
performers in the 1910 world series
In fact, his chief ambition was to
help Montreal get into the Inter-
national league playoffs.
But in one Of those sudden rags
to riches moves for which base
ball is famous. Ripple was waited
off the Montreal club into regu-
lar berth on the bound
Reds during the last days of Au-
gust.
Property of the Brooklyn club
the Reds were able to land Ripple
by quirk of the rule book. The
Dodgers sent him to Montreal early
in the season with the intention OF
recalling him. They changed their
minds and asked waivers in Au-
gust. The Reds claimed him anG
despite protests from the Mont
real club we're upheld by Commits
sioner lands. Montreal wished to
keep Ripple until the end of the
season but Lands ordered him to
report to the Reds immediately.
1t was a break for Ripple and
an even bigger break for the Reds.
Because Of him, the National
league champions are. all tied with
the Tigers at one game each as
they move into the third battle
today.
One lusty swing by Ripple yes

Bulldogs Score

BUtldOgS score -.
Football season is underway once
again in Imperiai Valleys high
school league and once again its
apparent that Calexico's defending
champion grid squad is the team to
beat.
Calex;co flashed a smooth offense
in the first ana fourth quarters OF
its opening game against Calexico
Thursday night and pulled out a
1910 victory. but it was fairly OBJ
vious that the Bulldogs played un-
der wraps in the second and third
quarters.
Coach Covlngton's crew is not
a push in for the league title, how
ever, as both Brawley and El Centre
must be considered title contenders.
And there is feeling throughout
the league that Holtvilie must not
be counted out of the running be-
cause of Thursday nights showing
Holtville has powerful squad this
season and another week OF prac-
tice may provide a polish which
will stamp the Vikings as capable
bah club.
On Thursday night Holtville gave
a creditable showing after only three
weeks of practice under a new
coach and new system Of play.
Added speed in the backfield,
smoother blocking and a better
knowledge of plays will make Coach
Palmgrens team a tough hurdle.
Up Imperial way there is an
other team that can be rated as
troublesome following the Tigers
300 triumph over Calipatria. Two
transfers, Otis King from Calexico
and Bob Havens from FL Centro,
have provided just what Imperial
needed to round out winning ball
club.
King showed up well on offense
in Thursdays game and Havens
looked like the best defensive man
Imperial has had since football was
revived at the institution.

DETROIT. Mich, Oct. 4 up
OF Man Newsom's dead. They held
little service :or him in Gin
cinnati yesterday, and by now his
bCdy's on the way to South Caro-
lima, there to join the dust he had
known and loved since he kicked
it up, barefooted, as a kid.

I'm wondering if it really should

is gone-he had seen his boy, his
Buck. his Bobo. stand out before
10000 cheering persons and pitch
his team to world series victory.
And Bobo had been large part
of his life for long time. Bobo,
the staggering, blustery, happy go
lucky, big of frame fellow who kept
making the headlines and whose
name kept coming in over the
radio.
When on Man Ncwson left
