Pickoff Play
Is The Talk
OF World Series

Cleveland, Oct. 8 -(AP)-
"The Boudreal Pickoff Play"
a death trap for ambitious play
ers, has become the most talk
ed-about single feature of the
World Series thus far.
1t promises to go down
in world series history alongside
such famous highhghts as the
Rawlings-Kelly Frisch double
play of 1921: The Pepper Mar
tin base-stealing show of 1881:
and the unassisted triple play
by Billy Wambsganss in 1920
The extra ordinary play, a
presision-like combination of a
lightning break and perfect tim
ing between Shortstop Lou
Boudreau, Cleveland's playing
pilot, and his pitcher, has been
the key play of both games.
Boudreau has worked it twice
against the Boston Braves, once
in each game, each time it
left the onlookers stunned by it's
results.
In the first game, it failed and
caused one of the most intri-
guing phases of second guess
ing the umpire in the world of

Glass Island is in the center

Before the war, Glass Island
was flourishing community.
Its 40 inhabitants swore allie :

Anglers from many parts Of
the world came to the Lough

themselves largely by rowing

Managers Are
Reported, Happy

Boston, Oct. 8-(P)-It may be
surprising to learn that rival
managers Billy Southworth of
the Braves, and Lou Boudreau
of the Indians, are equally happy
that the World Series has moved
into Cleveland. And that both
are convinced his club can win
in the American League city.
cts a good thing that the
Braves are going on the road, "
Southworth said after watching
his players take Al drubbing

been better club on the road

our players good to get away

to hit more timely in Cleveland
than they have in Boston. And
when they start doing that,
we'll win"
1.-The Cleveland opener will be
the big one for u.s." Boudreau
predicted. "We're all-even now
and we can make the big jump
by winning the third game on
our own lot. I'm certain we
can do that and then take the
next two. That would enable
US to wind up the series on top

Big Gridiron Weekend Begins Tonight

New York, Oct. 8-(AP)-A
big football weekend on the ma
tons collegiate gridirons gets off
to an early start tonight with
such major elevens as Penn
State and Alabama, which US
ually confine their activities to
Saturday afternoon, meeting I'm
derdog opponents under lights.
Penn state, which opened its
season last week with $50 con-
quest of Bucknell, visits SYRIA
cuse tonight in an attempt to
keep alive its bid for a second
straight all-victorious season and
another eastern championship.
Alabama, looking for its first
triumph of the campaign, well
comes Duquesne to Tuscaloosa,
probably with open arms after
losing to Tulane and being held
to a tie by Vanderbilt.
Other major games on this
evenings arclight program find
San Francisco at Detroit, Villain
ova at Miami Ola, Richmond
at Furman, Colgate at Boston
University, Colorado A. and M.
at Denver, Arizona State at Utah
State, Colorado Mines at Colo
RADIO State and Wichita at Duke.
Much of the interest in Tomor-
rows full program will be cen
tered on a trio of Big Nine tus-
sles which should narrow the lost
of title threats in that confer
ence to two or three, despite the
earliness of the date.
Minnesota, preseason favorite
in the loop and winner of two
non-conference otesets, opens its
title bid at Northwestern, which
still is unsecured on after con-
vincing victories over UCLA and
Purdue.
Michigan, having disposed of
Michigan State and Oregon,
opens the defense of the Big Nine
title at Purdue and Iowa invad-
es Ohio State, the conqueror Of
both Missouri and Southern Cali
fornia.
The Midwest also will be the
scene of three games involving

Notre Dame will be at home a

One of the South's Saturday
headliners sends North Carolina
currently pushing Notre Dame
for honors as the top team in the
land, against Wake Forest for c
Southern Conference duel.
In the Southeastern Confer.
ence it will be Vanderbilt al
Mississippi, Kentucky at Georgia
and Auburn at Florida. Many Of
the major game in Dixie will be
conference affairs.
The Eastern spotlight will be
shared tomorrow by three Ivy
League contests-Harvard at
Cornell, Princeton at Pennsyl-
vania and Columbia at Yale. II
Penn gets past Princeton as ex-
pected, it should also know
which of the other four it must

The Yellow Jackets of Roa-

play hosts to the Yellow Jackets
of Elizabeth City here at Sim

ball clash in which each Jacket
team will be seeking its first
Northeastern Conference victory.
So far the two teams have
played two games each and the
locals lost the only conference
game in which they participant
ed. The Elizabeth City Jackets
have played two conference
games md have one loss and one
tie on their record.
In their opener Elizabeth
City and Edenton battled to a
IT deadlock in a bitterly
fought contest in which the
Aces almost upset their larger
school rivals. Last Friday night
the Jackets from Pasquotank
fell before 20-6 onslaught of
the big Red Devils of Grazing
er High in Kinston. Elizabeth
City made a contest of last
weeks game but was just not a
match for the powerful Kinston
eleven, picked by many as the
class of the conference.
Roanoke Rapids also has a
loss to Kinston on its record,

ston was held to 20, so on the
basis of comparative scores the
locals are slight favorites.
There is no mistake, however
that the game that Roanoke

thing but the score, so there
is good possibility that the
two Jacket teams will be almost
evenly matched when they CLASH
