Novy-Duke Tilt Today

BALTIMORE, Oct. 12.--Navy and
Duke, two elevens which figured in
the early season ratings to be among
the strongest on the Atlantic Coast
but which have been disappoint-
ments so far, tangled on the soggy
turf of Baltimore Stadium today in
a game rated toss-up.
Navy barely nosed out Villanova,
TO, and last week took a 23-14
licking from Columbia. The Blue
Devils, hot August choice for the
Southern Conference crown, entered
the fray without a victory to their
credit. North Carolina State first
edged them, 1896, in league con-
test, and Tennessee came from
behind to squeeze out 1877 victory

BOSTON, Oct. 12.-Today is Red
Sox Manager Joe Cronins 40th
birthday, but he has asked his play
ers to delay their gift for another
"A hours and make it the clinching
win over the Cardinals.
Meanwhile all American League
minded numerologists are keeping
their fingers crossed. The Seekers
have taken the first, third and fifth
OF the current World Series clashes
and tomorrow's renewal in st. Louis
will be even No. 6.
About 500 of yesterdays specta-
tors followed the winners to the
airport last night when they, along
with owner Tom Yawkey, boarded
a special plane for the six-hour trip
to st. Louis. Cronin, his coaches
and eight players, including ailing
Bobby Doerr, preferred the 25-hour
train ride. Erstwhile slugger Ted
williams had book on trout fish
ing to take his mind of his bat
ting slump.
Southpaw AL Brazle said he fed
Williams nothing but sinkers and
flreballs while tanning him twice
and making him ground and foul
out. The sidearmer insisted that
the ball that Lee Culberson homered
into the left-field screen got away
from him.
Cardinal Pilot Eddie Dyer has a
hunch that 20-year-old Vernon
Jones, who was whitfield by Joe
Dobson while batting for Brazle as
leadoff in the eighth, will be his

shifts TO stop Ted Williams have
football counterpart In the Mentzer
shift. Coach Dick Mentzer aof
Eastern High, faced with the prob
lem Of stopping Techs Bob Thomp-
son yesterday, came up with trick
shift that did it. Bob wasn't stopped
cold, but he didn't break away for
touchdoWns and an upset scoreless
tie resulted.
Eastern's line shifted to which,
ever side Thompson was on, going
especially wide when he was on the
strong side to stop those end sweeps
for which he is noted. In addition,
there was line backer handy
whose sole duty it was to watch
Thompson. Despite this, Bugsy
managed number Of Is and 20
yard jaunts, but with no downfield
blocking he couldn't shake loose.
The tie left Coolidge, idle IN the
series, in first place. Yesterdays
other games returned Wilson 1876

Central squeezed past Roosevelt,
so.
Tech Makes Only Threat.
Pass interceptions and fumbles
were frequent in the mist and mud
Eastern made no scoring threats
and Tech pounded on the door only
once. Bob Bell, Tech center
blocked Jerry Osborne's punt in the
third, with Flea Fletcher recover
ing on the Rambler TO- An exchange

IA, and with running and passing
plays stopped, Paul Pometto tried
field goal that went wide.
