MANY FOOTBALL GAMES OCT. g
 TOUGH.TO PICK
By CARL LUNDQUIsT United Press stan Correspondent

(United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Oct. 6 = (U.P.) = Coach Lou Little at Columbia has, mt any "seven blocks of granite" to stir the Metropolitan football fans this year, but he has a rock.
 Keystone player at left end in an otherwise weak line Is Tom Rock, the kid who used to caddy for Lit tie tip in his home town of Leo minister, Mass, and who told him one day about 10 years ago: ''Mr Little I'm coming down to Colum- bia some day to take a pre-medical course and play football for you"
 The youngster proved a prophet and though this years Colunbia eleven isn't going to terrorize many opponents, lot of players are go- ing to shake themselves to see If they still have all their teeth after they hit Rock.
 Now a senior, and ore of the few players on the eleven with varsity experience, Rock is a Gibraltar of strength and the man upon whom the backs depend when they need to advance few yards on ground plays.
 In Columbia's opening defeat, 2t to at the hands of Princeton, Rock was practically the strong side" of the Columbia line and Princeton backs simply elected to go around the other way with their running plays, which left him with little tc do except take out his man, which he did almost invariably.
 Sam Cordovano, the Lion line coach calls him one of the neatest blockers he has developed and also reminds folks that he caught four touchdown passes and 24 altogether for a total of BIO yards last year.
 "As long as. that boy is in there we don't ned to worry about right end on offense or left end on de. fense," said Cordovano.
 Rock may get better chance tc show his talents this week against Yale, which probably won't prove as bothersome as Princeton. How ever, his work and the game itself will be overshadowed by the Ivy League game of the year" between Dartmouth and Pennsylvania, al Philadelphia.
 The game is almost certain to de. eide the mythical ivy championship and it shares top billing for the east with the Duke Navy night en. counter at Baltimore, also between unbeaten and united teams. Duke in the victories, has rolled up l4S points and its goal line is uncrossed making 1t by far the most formid. able opponent Navy has faced.
 Other eastern games include un. beaten Army and Temple at West Point, Colgate Penn State at State College, Brown-Tufts at Providence R. l., Rochester Rensselaer, Poly al Rochester, Coast Guard Holy Cros. at Worcester, Cornell-Princeton a, Princeton, N. J., Harvard -Worceste] Poly at Cambridge, Mass, anc Mihlenberg-Sw at Allen town, Pa.

Daily Double At Rock S85O.8O

Salem, N. H., Oct. 6.-(UP)-A throat injury sustained by the lilly Desert Brush let the longshot Boni- fled come home in front at 65-to-l odds yesterday at Rockingham Park and boost the daily double to $850 80.
 Desert Brush was leading ct the five-e1ghts pole when the accident occurred and the horse plunged through the inner rail. Jockey Jim-- my Lynch managed to leap to safety and a veterinarian said after an ex- animation that the lilly would not have to be destroyed.
 Bonifield paying $13280 for each s2 pari-mutuels ticket, was coupled with Tress Rodgers at $5.8o to bring double at the track this season.

 Series Opener
By GLEN PERKINS

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, Oct 6.-(UP)-Ins and outs of the first world series game.
 Perhaps the most significant thing in the Yankee dressing room was a telegram from Red Rufang, the ex. Yankee star and the only man in the world who has pitched seven world series victories.
 Rufing, now in the Army, sent the following telegram:
 This is the day. Wish I could pitch the opener"
 He pitched and won the opener last year-but that was the only Victory the Tanks scored in the 1942 classic.
 Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, the high commissioner of baseball threw out the first ball with such zest that 1t is understood that sev- eral clubs have offered him Q try out for next season
 Joe Mccarthy, though he didn't venture out of the Yankee dugout during the game, was still only dur ing the pre-game ceremonies. The usually quiet manager of the Amer ican league champions, was up and down the Yankee bench every min- ute, waving his outflelders-a la Connie Mack-into the positions he had strategized.
 When told that he had handled eight assists to tie a world series record, Joe Gordon, the goat of last years classic and the hero of this years opener, snapped his fingers and said, T should have had nine" !" Joe complained that the "iinpossi- ble' stop he made of Ray Sanders hopper in the ninth, should have heen an out. As far as every stu- dent of baseball was concerned, the Tanks were lucky the ball didn t go for double.
 Terry Moore, in the Cards dress ing room after the game, congratu- lated Harry Walker on his great running catch of Chandler's long fly in theeighth. Terry sparked the whole St. Louis club with his after game speech which was brief and to the point. Remember last year gang, come on let's wrap this up :"
 The 6S,676, persons who crowded their way into Yankee Stadium fail- ed by only slightly more than 1000 to break Sn all time series record. The crowd started filing in as soon as the gates opened at 10 o'clock.
 Manager Billy Southworth paid high tribute to Gordon. "At least four of the stops he made should have been hits" the Redbird skip per said.

Eddie Cameron Coach of Week.
BY GLEN PERKINS United Press Staff Correspondent

- H~~-~ 0s~-AA AANoROAAACNt
 New York, Oct 6 - (UP) - He doesn't get time to point his team for a big football game, yet is has clicked off 14S points against three respectable opponents and its goal line is inviolate.
 The big job, he says, is winning the war but because winning foot ball games comes handily as a side line, the United Press names as its coach of the week:
 Eddie Cameron of those brliisin' Duke Blue Devils.
 This eek, Cameron and the @Duth's number one powerhouse play Gavy's unbeaten eleven in a night game before the lunch bucket and slacks set" at Baltimore, in what will be its stiffeSt test to date.
 1T the Blue Devils get past the Midshipmen, they will rate recog- milton as one of the nations top two or three teams, but busy Eddie and his Naval V-i2 trainees, are spending only their allotted hour a day in practice for the game.
 We've got no time for pep talks or drilling against any specific style of play" he said. "Well just concentrate on a few basic plays so if the boys miss two days prac- tice a week as they often do, they won't be out of step"
 Cameron took over the Blue Dev- ills when Lieut.. Col. Wallace Wade was granted military leave in l042. His job as acting athletics director and football coach is for the dura- ton, but he has handled the team SO well he Is almost certain to get q top flight job with some other college.
 Lest year. stresslng the same high eeared offensive tactics he uses now. the Blue Devils won five. lost four. tied one while running up 2fi points to e8 for the opposition. This year, the squad is certain to do much better.
 "But we're not interested ln any Bowl games or Conference cham plonHhips." Cameron said. Were just dossoned happy to be able ts play"

Yale, Columbia
 Meet Saturday

New Haven, Conn, October 6. - (UP) = Yale's top flight fullback, Bob Pickett, was slated today for a starting assignment against Colum- bia at New York Saturday and the balance of the lineup was expected to remain the same as that which opened against Pennsylvania last weekend at Philadelphia.
 Pickett, apparently recovered from sprained ankle. spent more than an hour late yesterday practicing punts. Coach Howie Odell also put considerable emphasis on passing, indicating the Yalers might throw a heavy terial barrage in the Columbia encounter. It vii lbe the first meet ing of the teams since 1899.

Porter Banks On M. Cooper
BY RICHARD c. HARRIS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Big Ben's Ruthville, N. r., Oct. 6. (UP)-1n the wee hours of the morning when they came to closing this tavern in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, the porter picked up spittoon and growled at two Brooklyn Dodgers fans in the far corner:
 "okay, okay, so the Tanks did win the first game, but the Story's s gonna be different today when Mort Cooper's in there for the Cards"
 Carrying his spittoon and his in- jured feelings, he Stalked out through a swinging door leading to the kitchen. Big Ben Greenblatt the owner, watched as the door Tapped, swabbed the bar a time or two, and said:
 Wolves"
 That's the way 1t was early today after the American Leagues cham pions won the opening game of the 1943 World Series. The porter, a lone St. Louis rooter, was indeed a rarity in the environs of Ruthville. The Brooklynites had been merci- less.
 Into this tavern which Babe Ruth built--along with everything else in Ruthville-the Dodger fans had wandered to bend elbows and in. dulge in the post-game pleasure oi pointing with pride and viewing with alarm. They were Yankee fans under duress and only because they couldn't forget that only last veal the St. Louis upstarts had been un. kind enough to put on a stretct drive to win the National League pennant by an eye-1ash over them Buns" from Brooklyn.
 They told Greenblatt they hoped the Yankees would give the Mis. souri boys little more of the same today. Phlegmatic Greenblatt nodded.
 He could have recalled that it was also just year ago that @ cer- tain part of his cozy tavern was turned into a wailing wall when the Yankees lost the series to the Red birds. But 1t does not pay for a tavern keeper to bring back sad memories to happy customers.
 Big Ben'S, just across narrow River street from the bleachers where Babe Ruth hit the home runs that built Yankee Stadium, is a Yankee hangout. Lining the walls and the windows are pictures oi the Yankees of today and of by- gone years, and above the bar are bats autographed by Ruth and the murderer's row of yesteryear.
 Prize bat of the lot, however, is a slim, black one, its autographs etched in gold. The bartender ham dles 1t with respect when he re- moves 1t from @ pair of steers horns over the bar to show to customers, Those signatures are of the men who brought the Worlds pennant to Ruthville in 1889.
 The Yankee atmosphere was thickened more by Neon signs ad- vertising Ruppert's beer, the beer of the late Jacob Ruppert, who built the Yankees up their present state with the help of the Bambino.
 The two Dodger fans were so out of place that even the pretty brunette behind an adjoining sand- wich counter became tired of them She heaved a sigh of relief when closing time came at 4 a. m., EWT. under New York state law.
 The porter still was there. He brought out the spittoon, properly cleansed, banged it down near the bar, glared at the Dodger fans, and went back through the swinging door.

Mox Krouser Meets Raider

New Haven, Oct. 6-Max Krauser, Polish grappler with plenty of savvy, will try where many others have failed when he meets the Red Raider in the feature mat match at tn Arena here tonight.
 Thus far the Raider has won 40 straight matches and the chances of Krauser winning aren't too good, but the Pole is willing to make a try and he's expected to give the masked man quite an argument.
 The feature contest will be de- cided by two falls out of three.
 In the semi-final Rudy Dusek tackles Tony Martinelli; Milo Stein- born meets Pat Muldoon in the sec- ond prelim; and Herbie Freeman opposes Barto Hill in the opener at 8 o'clock.

Last Supper" was Rev ] Fred

morning when Communion was
observed. Mr. James was given
the right hand OF fellowship
Fair attendance.
The last teachers meeting OF
the year will be held Sunday
afternoon, Dec 18th, in the
vestry Of the church at 5 p m.
All teachers are urged to be
present in order that the Sur
day School might wind up the
business of the year.
There is a sad situation de-
Veloping in the primary grade
division OF the Medford
schools. It is being caused by
unrestrained elements OF a. few
colored children who, for nc
apparently good reason have
been attacking white pupils
and even the teachers in what
long time residents have al
ways considered the finest
mixed school in the entire city
of Medford. Parents who cen
done this gangster action are
not being smart. Inciting feel
ing against the colored people
of Medford is utter stupidity.
Retarding the progress Of de-
cent and well behaved boys
and girls Is Of the utmost ig-
norance. If the Hervey School
situation is not soon improved
there will be movements to
segregate colored pupils into a
Sparate Jim crow school. I'm
less colored parents restrain
