SEATTLE, Oct. 6.-lR- Things are getting really tough in a foot ball way at the University of Wash ington.
 When Coach Howie Odell started to scrimmage his first" team against Oregon State formations yesterday, he found himself in the sad situation of having to recruit linemen to fill out the "OSC Var sity" squad.
 All the regular members of the Knothead backfield have moved up to the varsity squad in the wake of the havoc wrecked by successive weekend encounters with Minnesota and Notre Dame.
 Fullback Hank Tiedemann is still a tenant at Swedish Hospital, Hugh McElhenny had date with a bone specialist, quarterback Don Henrlch showed up on the sidelines and tossed his first ball since the Notre Dame fracas, and halfback Roland Kirby still isn't able to don pads for the rough stuff.

 HIS PITCH
By WILL GRIMsLEY

NEW YORK, Oct. 6--lR-Don Newcombe insists that wasn't a fat 10 pitch he served up to Tommy Heinrich in the ninth inning of yesterdays opening World Series game.
 Tt was a low curve,' Brooklyn's huge Negro righthander said in the dressing room later. Tt was a good pitch. He just hit it, that's all.'
 Whatever it was, Heinrich took a keen liking to the offering. He caught it on the plump part of his bat and nailed, it into the lower rightfield stands.
 That was the margin of the New York Yankees To victory over the Dodgers in the first game of the 46th annual fall baseball classic.
 Ut was a fast ball or a slider, said the Yankees old reliable, over in the Yankees jitterbugging quarters.
 q watched it all the way.
 Until HenYich's Booming blast that shook 66,224 enthralled pat rons from their seats it was a duel of pitching masters such as few previous series afforded.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. April
9.-The Mats starting pitchers at
the moment are Ray Scarborough.
Sid Hudson and take your choice
with the exception of Paul Calvert
and Forrest Thompson" admits
Manager Joe Kuhel.
The Mats pitching situation
currently isn't rosy. what with
Walter Masterson recuperating in
Orlando, Fla, from an appen-
dectomy and Joe Haynes round
ing into shape slowly, but Kuhel
isn't gulping aspirin yet. At least
he isn't desperate enough to sign
4l-year old Bobo Newsom. who
was bidding strenuously for Job
with Washington.
II have an idea that Milo Can
DIM will be one of our starters. y
said Kuhel as the Mats arrived
here for an exhibition game with
the Philadelphia Phillies tonight.
"Candini always has been effective
in the spring and his wrenched
knee is responding nicely to treat
ment. He should be available TO
start by the time the season opens.
Haefner Big Park Hurler.
II like Calvert and Thompson
for relief" continued Kuhel.
Mickey Haefner is the type OF
pitcher who makes the opposition
hit the ball. He's effective in q
large park like Griffith Stadium.
but he can't very well be used In
smaller parks. He'll be spotted.
Dick Weik will be tossed into
games when the pressure isn't too
terrific. He needs experience, but
we can't farm him out again with
out standing a chance OF losing
him.
That leaves the other starting
Job open to Ed Klieman and Dick
Welteroth. Klieman Is ready to
60 now and Welteroth has been
sharp this spring when he has
been able to get the ball over the
plate. think either Of them can
come through for us"
Kuhel was heartened by the
batting practice performances OF
Haynes before the Mats left Or
lando and plans to employ him
in a game In the next day or 50.
Hes looking great" declared
