Coast Guard At Yale Saturday

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 20-CUP) Head coach Howie Odell, whose Yale eleven fell victim to Rochester in a fourth period rally Saturday, began reshaping his team today for the coming battle with coast guard here this weekend.
 Scouts watched coast guard take Bates 25-6 in seasons opener at New London Saturday and brought back reports of an enterprising eleven that could provide trouble for the Yalers.
 Motion pictures of the Rochester affair were at hand as Odell began perfecting better defense against the air lanes. Passing was the prin- cipal weapon with which Roches- ter took the Odellmen 14-l2 after mediocre first three periods.

Nothing was overlooked in the hit and run department by the new champions of the Public Parks base ball league of lo4S -- the Overlook o. c. In the "big" game of the sea- son "when the chips were down" the Looks came through handsomely over the Cadets, getting five-hit pitching from Johnn:' Denardo and some slick stickwork by Kelley, Silla and Bauman who were good for eight of the 12 hits off Har- old Davis.
 Jitters
 Seven errors and too many gases on balls sunk" the Cadets before the game was hardly under way, as the Linners scored four runs in the first inning, two more in the sec- ond while Bernardo held the los- CTS at bay until the eifhth inning when they got their first and only run. Kelley, Overlook center gard ener got 8 for g., Sills 3 for 6, te former including a triple, the latter two doubles.

 Boston, September 20. - (UP) - NBA worlds featherweight cham pion Phil Terranova of New York meets Maurice Gefty) LaChance of Lisbon, Me, at Hartford, Conn, this week in the only feature of an otherwise mediocre New Eng land boxing card.
 At Providence, R. T., a scheduled bout featuring welterweight Al Costa of Woonsocket, R. T., fell through while the usual Wednesday shows at St. Ann's Park have been abandoned for the season because of the weather.
 The meeting between Terranova and LaChance is expected to be one of the outstanding matches of this war year. The Maine southpaw is considered one of the better boxers now in the ring and some believe he may halt the champion whose title si not at stake.
 It will be the next to the last fight as a civilian for LaChance. He appears against Cleo Shans at Boston a week hence and then leaves to join the U. s. Marines.
 LetO vs Maloni
 Jerry Maloni of Springfield, Q middleweight who has been more or less featured as serni-finalist appears in 0 main bout at West Springfield tonight against Jimmy Leto of Hartford, Conn, in what may be the Crescent Kennel Clubs last outdoor show.
 Tomorrow comes the Terranova fight and twin eight-round bouts at New Bedford. Thursday the capable Harold Christiansen of Bos- ton faces Waddell Washington of Worcester in half of a double eight at Fall River.
 The week closes Friday with Pat Fole yof Worcester in his home city facing the good Bobby Woods of Baltimore, Md, and New England middleweight champion Coley Welch appearing at Lewiston, Me, against Johnny Palmer of New York City.
 On September 2S, Welch fights again, this time for the New Eng land l75- pound title at Bangor, Me- against the rugged U. s, Army ser- geant from Fort Devens, Mass. - Soldier Montoya.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 20- CUP)-we picked the Cardinals to beat the Yankees in last years World Series, and they did. We're making the same selection again; but we figure that St. Louis will need the full seven games to turn the trick.
 We like the Cards because of their youth, speed and power. We believe these assets will more than offset the Tanks apparent advantage in pitching.
 The following eight Cardinals probably will do most of the series playing: Catcher Walker Cooper: infielders Ray Sanders, Lou Klein, Slats Marion and Whitey Kurow- ski; outfielders Harry Walker, Dan- ny Eitwhiler and Stan Musial.
 Their average age is 25 years; their batting average is about .298. Meanwhile, the Tanks who probably ytll bear the series burden average 6 years and about .274. Those eight &ankS are: Catcher Bill Dickey; in- Melders Nick Etten, Joe Gordon, 0GOsette and Bill Johnson; outfield- CTS Charlie Keller, Roy Weatherly and Art Metheny.
 Unquestionably Joe McCarthy's Tanks have a pitching edge in Spud Chandler, Ernie Bonham and Hank Borowy, right-handers who have registered 1924, l3-8 and 12-9, re- spectively. And their effectiveness may be amplified when working against a Cardinal lineup that might include at least five right handed hitters: Klein, Walker Coop CT, Kurowski. Marion and Litwhiler.
 Power vs Pitching
 Despite the importance of pitch ing in a series, however, the record of the past 20 years discloses that clubs repending on their pitching edge won but seven of the 20 ser- les. During that period American League teams almost invariably had the power, or were supposed to have it. while the National circuit outfits had the pitching. Now the boot Is on the other hoof. It's Cardinal power VG. American league pitching.
 In this connection, It must ems phasized that two of the Cards snosk dangerous batsmen are left- handers: Muslal and Walker. sand ers also Is a portsider. Musial, only %, Is the type of batsman who can break up . ball game at any time. a He leads both leagues in hitting, with aa average of .S5o. He's a dis- . fanee driver who specializes m doubles and triples.

TANK PITCHING VS CARD POWER
 IN 1S4S SERIES
BX OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 New York, September 20.--(UP) - It will be New York Yankee pitching and experience against the speed and power of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1943 World Series.
 Neither team will be as strong throughout as last year, when the cocky kids from Sportsman's Park dropped the opening game and then now four in a row to dethrone the overconfident Bronx Bombers. The wars manpower demands have affected both teams, the transition has been greater on the Yankees.
 Down through the years the Yankees always were a power ball clube as they battered their way to 13 pennants and Il world cham pionshipS in 9 years. Their line up-which became known as "Mur- derer's Row" - was loaded from time to time with such feared hit- ters as Wally Pipp Bob Meusel, Joe Sewell, Babe Ruth, Lou 0ehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Bill Dickey, Joe Di- Maggie and Charley Keller. The parade formed @ pitchers night mare.
 But it's no longer the old swing from the -heels Yankee team. It had a vestige of this power remaining last year with Keller and DiMaggio in the outfeld, but "Joltin' Joe" has swapped his bat fo ra bayonet.
 NYAk that kkA VaAlgs aRA aaAFAiN at the plate, because they are sec- ond to Detroit in American League batting, but they couldn't begin to match that power of old. That's why they will go into the series de- banding, even more than last year, on the ability of their mound corps and it's an unfamiliar role.
 Turn About
 The Cardinals, too, underwent @ transformation during l943. They had the speed last year but their pitching was their strong point and - after that first game-their youngsters shackled the dwindling Yankee power. This year, however, it's the hurling that is bothering Manager Billy Southworth. He has the power.
 In l39 games the Cards have clip- ped the ball at lively .279 pace to smother the rest of the National League. San Musial, their right fielder, is the top man in baseball with clubbing mark of 1858 for l38 games, and the speedboys have three men in the senior circuits high-powered first 10-the others being catcher Walker Cooper and outfielder Harry Walker.
 The Yankees have a far lower team mating average, .257 for l39 games; and only one man among the first 10 in the junior league. That one man is a rookie, Third Baseman Billy Johnson, with Q .295 mark. Veteran Bill Dickey, out of atcion early in the season, is back in form, however, and boasts old time Yankee form with a mark of .367 for 73 games.
 Close On Defense
 The Cards hold a statistical edge on defense, too. Their fielding per- centage is .975 against the Yankees STA with only 14O errors against 142 for the men of Mccarthy. Their racehorse infield has accounted for 160 double plays compared with 137 for the Tanks.
