Techs $50 Triumph
Bellies Coach 'sCIaim
Team Is 0verrated
By Bill Fuchs
High School STANDINGS

Ed Solomon, mentor Of Techs
football team, which Joined the win
ners' side in the first week end of
high school championship play by
rouncing Roosevelt, $50, yesterday
at Central, didn't even want to be
a football coach.
Il understand they're going to
put competitive sports in the junior
high Schools" Solomon explained,
80 I'd be coaching anyway and
prefer coaching in high school,"
Before going to Tech last year,
Solomon, who quarter backed the
U. c. l.. A. teams of l927-30, was q
physical education instructor at JET
ferson Junior High School.
Solomon, a veteran of four years
in the Army Air Forces, claims his
team Is overrated, but adds, Were
going to give everybody a busy aft
ernoon."
The Trainers did Just that to
Roosevelt yesterday, but in all fair
ness to Coach Phil Fox's eleven, the
breaks were working against the
losers.
Penalties Hurt Roosevelt.
Roosevelt penalties which nullified
Tech punts set the stage for the
first and third touchdowns, an inter-
cepted pass paved the way for the
second and q Rider tumble did like
wise for the fourth.
Early In the first period Cecil
Gray passed to Glenn Smith for II
yards and first down on the Roose-
velt 80, but the Riders held and the
Trainers punted. However, Roose-
velt was ruled tripping on the play
and Tech got another chance, this
time % yards away from the goal.
Jack Talbert raced around right end
to the s and Gray cracked over In
two tries.
In the same quarter, Talbert in
tercepted Carl Ruble's pass on the
Trainer 48 and darted beautifully to
the Roosevelt 10. Left End Jim Nc
Cauley, on an end around, carried
the ball to the l and Gray again
went through the middle to the goal
early in the second period.
1t was after this touchdown that
Roosevelt showed some offensive
form, Vince Pugliese carrying the
ball from his 4 to the 23 in two plays.
But the drive fizzled and Roosevelt
was ruled roughing the kicker and
the Trainers had another 90, this
time from the Rider 81.
Pass Ruled Complete.
Gray's pass to Francis Howard in
the end zone was called complete on
the l. Milt Weinstein cracked
through for the third score.
Tech almost scored again In the
third period with q drive that put
the ball on Roosevelt's . at first
down, but the Riders held.
Righ End Glenn Smith snagged
Weinstein's 36-yard pass on the Is
and zig-zaged his way through three
tacklers for the final Tech score late
in the last quarter. The play before,

Youngsters Hitting
0vershadows Lack
OF Catching Ability
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Sioff Correspondsnt

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-For the
first time in World Series history
a contending team-and a winner
by IL games at that-elected to
gamble with rookie battery here
today. New York's Yankees, pro-
hibitive favorites, were taking the
risk and it provides tip-off on the
caliber of the so-called fall classic
Manager Bucky Harris was con-
tent that he had a fun-loving,
nerveless representative functioning
for him on the mound in 24-year-old
Frank Shea, but whether 22-year-
old Yogi Berra remains behind the
plate for the duration of the series
was to be determined by his conduct
in the opening game.
The fact that Berra, a lover of
comic book literature, is Harris No.
catcher simply is a tribute to
Yogi's batting ability, for he hasn't
impressed anybody with his men,
tality in catching capacity. Harris
admits Berra is on trial even as he
enters the series.
Willing to String Along.
Bucky, though, is willing to string
along with the potential extra-bas
threat lurking in Berra's bat, for
saking the educational edge that
| Aaron Robinson or Sherman Iollar
might give him.
Berra, as tactician, doesn't
qualify as a Bill Dickey, Mickey
Cochrane or Gabby Hartnett, but
he's likely to break out in rash of
hits and, on that theory, Harris has
announced that Yogi Is his man in
the mask
Harris never went overheard on
Robinson as a catcher. Last spring
he was attempting to unload him
to the Mats in a four-player deal
for First Baseman Mickey Vernon.
Even when Berra wasn't hitting as
Bucky had anticipated, Harris was
saying, "I'll string along with him.
If he doesn't develop as a hitter
then Ill have to admit I don't
know anything about hitters."
Well, Yogi hasn't made a bum
Of Bucky. He batted a respectable
.280 during the regular season and
was improving steadily, all of which
has prompted Harris to risk his
reputation on a yearling. He's
gambling that batting strength will
outweigh catching deficiencies and
he could be correct.
One Disturbing Item.
There's one disturbing item. If
Jackie Robinson sparkles, Berra
might be the series goat, for Yogi's
throwing arm isn't the acme of ac-
curacy. Robinson, the National
Leagues leading base stealer, could
prompt Harris to switch catchers If
Jackie reaches base often enough
to constitute a problem.
Conversation passing between
Shea and Berra doesn't inspire con-
fidence. When informed he was to
pitch the opener, Shea turned to
Berra and said, You'd better call
'em right"
"You can always shake me of,
you know" countered Yogi
well, how many times have I
done that this season?" Shea asked.
Sounds as If neither wants the
responsibility of calling a pitch. 1t
could be modesty, of course, but
it also could be inexperience or in
efficiency. Time will tell.

PUBLIC GETS BUM
Steer FROM Big
PACKERS

Chicago-FP-The big meat packers
are giving the public bum steer when
they pretend that farmers are to blame
for current high meat prices, Presi-
dent Ralph Helstein of the United
Packinghouse Workers (CIO) charged
here.
Citing figures compiled by the ag-
riculture department, Helstein pointed
out that while farmers during the first
two weeks of June got So per cent
more for their steers, the big packers
were charging retail dealers 95 per
cent more than before. This 43 per
cent margin compares with a % per
cent spread between farm and whole
sale prices on June 1, 1916, when price
controls were still in effect.
The wholesale market, Helstein eX-
planned, is dominated by the big pack
ers-Cudahy, Swift, Armour and Will
son.
Helstein recalled that these COM
panies promised last fall that plenty
of meat would be available at reason
able prices once price control was de-
stroyed"
Their present price gouging, he
charged, proves that "the monopoly
control of meat exercised by the large
packers is callously Indifferent to the
needs Of the great number of Ameri-
can lower and moderate income groups
who are compelled to pay these high
prices or else do without meat.
The union president also criticized
congress for spending time investi-
eating Legitimate trade unions and
other progressive organizations" while
failing to probe "the cause for the
meat price gouge which is now going
on. A thorough investigation of the
control of our national meat supply by
a few packing companies and their
banks is the proper function of our
government at this time"

million for the engineers. Now
estimates are that at most the
entire Missouri basin may re-
ceive a half dozen more dams
for reclamation.
Super Duper Seaway Behind Army
Engineers Program
What does the 10-year plan of the
Engineers have to do with it? Simply
this Under its terms four or five
more gigantic dams like Fort Peck
will be built between Fort Peck and
Sioux City, Iowa. These dams, as an
incidental, will be for flood control
and will have storage capacity of So
million acre feet plus (whereas normal
annual runoff of Missouri is about
.17,500,000 acre feet) The REAL pur-
pose for these huge reservoirs which
will inundate IS per cent of all the
Missouri bottom lands between Fort
Peck and the South Dakota-Nebraska
border, will be to ensure steady flow
of water to supply mile wide, 9-foot
channel of commerce between Sioux
City and the mouth of the Missouri.
Estimates by competent hydraulic en-
gineers, determined from a study of
past yearly run-offs and the amount
of water needed to keep ample flow in
such channel INDICATE THAT IN
EXCESS OF 25 MILLION ACRE
FEET ANNUAL RUN-OFF WILL BE
NEEDED.
This means that if the Army Engi- |
neers are permitted to carry through
their 10-year plan. there isn't going
to be any additional water for irriga-
ton in Montana-that the Army Engi-
neers will be stealing Montana's prof.
ected irrigation waters to maintain
such an avenue of commerce" for
the benefit of the Wall Street owned
major barge companies who are back
ng the 10-year plan.

independence forces until the Dutch
arrived to take over.
Just before the Dutch "blitz'' the
U. S. State Department told the In
donesians they could hope for dollar
loans and trade only if they abandoned
their distrust of their former masters.
Behind this move was pressure from
big U. S. corporations whose invest
ments in the islands, closely inter
twined with Dutch capital, total half
billion dollars.
Standard Oil Again!
The major investment is held by
the Standard-Vacuum Oil Co., whose
Indonesian wells once turned out 600,-
000 barrels of oil month. Before the

Goodyear and U. S. Rubber Cos. pro-

Further reclamation of arid acres
will be out, and, needless to say, the
power trust will no longer have cause
for alarm since the 10-year plan pays
scant attention to public power de-
velopment.
What Are We Going To Do
About 1t?
In view of President Truman having
given his blessing to the Engineers
to build bigger and better levies, in
land seas and stupendous water
highway, supplemented by more than
six billions in appropriations, people
of the Missouri basin and Montana in
particular may well ask, what are we
going to do about it?
How can we stop this adroit move
to stymie any great amount of further
development of agricultural, indus
trial, recreationaI and power resources
of our valley?
What have we to offer in place of

cry big business pressure group
in the nation.
They gave "the works" to
American workers by passage of two
pieces of legislation designed to
weaken the labor movement, rather
than correct some abuses which have
manifested themselves over the years
First of. these was the Gwynne bill
outlawing portal-to-portal pay claims,
and worse still, definitely undermining
the fair labor standards act of 1888
which primarily lends protection to
the wage and working standards of
over two-thirds of Americas workers
who are not organized Second, was
the passage of the Taft-Hartley bill,
designed to drastically weaken organ
lied labor and to take away labor's
right to political freedom of express
sion and press This bill has been
aptly characterized as g. hell for
labor !. purgatory for business
and a paradise for lawyers"
For the record. President Truman
signed the Gwynne bill, and vetoed
the Taft-Hartley measure. Senator
Murray and Representative Mansfield
voted against both bills, while Senator
Ecton and Representative D'Ewart
voted for both bills.

While legislation definitely discrimi

the Co-ops. didn't get past committee

reau of reclamation, REA, soil con-
