Williamson Picks Army Alabama, Ole Miss
BY PAUL B. WILLIAMSON Back to normal again?


 Years ago the football season gen. orally got under way around Oct. l. But by 1885 the starting date had been showed ahead gradually until the third week in September was the official" debut. During World War II and through last year the prelims were even earlier. The first collegiate game last season was on Aug. "A.
 However, there won't be big turn overs in student bodies in late Co., tober and mid- November because of military schooling this year. Hence there's no particular reason for early birds this time. Less than a dozen games were reported last week; but the coming weekend is different, indeed hectic-right at tke jump.
 Big named, if not currently even- powered, teams will be matched Fri day in Alabama over Furman; and Saturday in Army over Villanova, Oklahoma A. & M. over Denver, Illi- nois over Pittsburgh, Texas over Missouri. Army's opener with Villa nova is the Kaydets' earliest season starter in the fifty-six year history of football at West Point. More evenly matched, indeed more or less toss-ups, will be Ole Miss. over Ken lucky, Wisconsin over Marquette, Colorado U. over Iowa State, Loras over South Dakota State and Kan sas U. over Texas Christian. The last especially may upset many last year's-score' predictors.
 These predictions are not just conventional, but reflect the latest information by mail, wire, and phone to the Williamson office di- rect from this 1946-season crop of more than 500 collegiate football squads.
 Interesting contests this week will include:
 s. L. I. Southwestern Louisiana Institute) over the University of Houston, in the latter's first football game in history; Lenoir-R Rhyme over Atlantic Christian College, also initial grid encounter for the latter institution of Wilson, N. c. after IS years absence; and the champions of Mexico, the National University of Mexico, in a "good-neighbor" gala affair in the New Orleans municipal (not Sugar BowD stadium, to turn back last seasons T1lng Bowl Cham pions, the U. s.

Has Beaten
 Former Motes Three Times

New York, Sept. 19 (UP)-An ex- professor of baseball with the St. Cardinals and an advanced student who failed to graduate with the Brooklyn Dodger "class of "A" were upsetting the well-laid pennant plans of their Alma Mater teams today.
 The professor" was beaming Billy Southworth, who transferred to the New England cradle of cul- ture to carry on his courses in dia- mond instruction with the Boston Braves, and the student" was Lefty Fritz Ostermueller, who is making honor grades with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 Ostermueller, bitter ever since Boss Branch Hickey of the Dodgers sent him to the minor league Syra- cuse Chiefs on Memorial Day of 1914 when he had only six more weeks to go as major leaguer to become a 10-year-man, beat the Dodgers, 3 to 2 in the first game of double header yesterday. It was the third straight time he had top ped Brooklyn this year and the fifth in seven times since Pittsburgh picked him up from Syracuse two days after waiving on him as a Dodger in 1914.
 Branca Saves Day
 For time it appeared that Oster- mueller's blow would be as deadly to the Dodgers as the one which Joe Louis delivered later in the day to Tami Mauriello, but they recov- cred with a 3 to o victory in the second game as young Ralph Branca pitched his second straight shut-out, a five-hitter.
 Then Southworth trotted out one of his prize pupils, Freshman Johnny Sain and he pitched the Braves to 3 to 1 victory over the Cardinals in night game to reduce the first place St. Louis margin to game and half. It was Sain's 18th victory, his second over the Cards and his Nth complete game and he would have had shutout but for a ninth inning homer by Enos Slaughter. Dick Cutler put oOoVOi4 d4lCdO tO oJdy W1U14 wv" run fifth inning double
 Ralph Kiner's two-run homer, his Fist with Billy Cox on second gave Ostermueller an early 2 to o lead and singles by Lee Handley, Oster- mueller, and Frankie Cuisine made it 3 to 0 in the fifth. The Dodgers scored twice in the fifth on a double by Howie Schultz, but that was the best they could muster as Kirby Higbe went down to his seventh defeat against 16 wins. Joe Med- wick'S two-run double was the big blow in Branca's victory.
 The Phillies won a pair from the Reds at Philadelphia, 3 to 1 and 6 to 5 to run their winning streak to seven games. First Baseman Frank McCormick's two run single gave Oscar Judd his 11th victory in the opener while the Phils won the second with two runs in the ninth, Roy Hughes forcing in the winning Fun by walking with the bases loaded
 Giants Fall Deeper
 The Cubs stayed a game ahead of the Braves in third place by putting over three runs in the eighth to send the Giants to their sixth straight defeat at New York, 4 to B.
 Lefty Hal Newhouser won his 18th game, three hitter in which he struck out II, defeating the Athletics, to in 10 innings at Detroit when Roy Cullenbine singl- ed home the winning run of Phil Marchildon.
 Led by league-leading hitter, Micgey Vernon who got a homer,

double and single, the Senators topped the Indians, 8 to 1 at Cleve- land. Mickey Haefner won his 18th game.
 The Yankees and White Sox divided, New York taking the open CT, 4 to 0 as Spud Chandler pitched his 18th victory and got three hits while Charley Keller hit two homers and Bill Johnson got one. Chicago took the second game, g to 2 with 13-hit attack.
 The Red Sox defeated the Browns, 6 to 2 at St. Louis, getting IS hits as Joe Dobson win his 18th game. Rudy York hit his 17th homer.
