Jesse Owens Wins Quarter Finals
On Horace Heidi Program

contestants who competed with him
COR the $3.50 first prize. On the
even weekly broadcasts prior to
his contest, Jesse had taken the
$3.50 first prize as audiences throu-
;hout the midwest proclaimed him
winner over some tough competi-
on. As a singer of Negro spiri-
lals, Jesse displays a rich, reso-
lent voice with a virile quality
that seems destined to make its
mark in the world.
Heidi discovered Jesse in his
home town of Akron, Ohio, where
he was working as shoe shine boy
in the Portage Hotel barber shop
In order to earn money to pay for
his beloved singing lessons. On the
very night he graduated from East
High School, Heidi called him to
sing on his Philip Morris broadcast.
Jesse accepted the invitation and
ever since has been busy proving
Heidt's feeling that he is destined
to become as great personality as
Duke Ellington or that other Jesse
Owens who won laurels on the
track.
A soft-spoken young man, well

hammered and poised, Jesse easily
makes friends wherever he goes
and has become one of the best
liked members of Heidt's troupe of
youthful showmen. Intensely inter
ested in perfecting his voice, he
can be heard practicing at any time
of day or night-whether helping
to unload the prop truck, shining
his shoes, or in the bathtub. They
always know where to find jesse
he's behind that voice!
Although he was a football star
in high school and graduated with
scholastic honors, Jesse's own per-
sonal "Glory Road" leads to the
only goal he has set for himself
to become Americas greatest bari
tone.

IrT...IEEEEs,

Development of q ration to build

that are shown each fall by Al
and FLA members has been the re-
suit Of q three-year experiment at
the Purina Research Farm.
Because of the need for special
product for this purpose, the expert
ment began with the purchase OF 10
Hereford steer calves. They were
Graded by acknowledgements live

form groups and each six calves fed
an experimental ration. At the close
of the project in the fall Of 19A7, the
calves were again graded by the
same judge, being lined up as they
ould be in show. When the
calves were slaughtered and all data
ccumulated, the three rations were
impaired and the one that proved
o be the best from q standpoint OF
asst gain and finish became the

The same general plan was fol-

ect, except the experimental supple

officials point out, indicates the
value of feeding tests rather than
pencil formulas.
Last year, eighteen Shorthorn
steer calves were fed this ration and

with the results Of the two previous
experiments and by the end Of the

romped over the Philadelphia
Eagles, 35 to 10, in the opening
game of the National Football
League season.
Since the Browns were four time
champions of the new defunct ALL
America Conference and the
Eagles won the NFL title in 1948
and 1949, there was a definite
World Series touch to the game.
But most of those in the big crowd
seemed to wish they mad stuck to
baseball and the Phillies because
the Eagles never were IN the run

ing.
Great Night for Otto.
1t was a great night for Otto,
never shrinking violet, who
was All-League quarterback four
straight years in the A-AC. It
also was a memorable night for
Paul Brown, the Cleveland coach
who not so many years ago was
coaching high school kids at Mas
sillon. Ohio. Both Graham and
Brown more than made good on
all the things they limited the
Browns might do the best in the
National League.
Graham'S passing was virtually
the whole story of the game, TOR
the Browns did little or nothing
with their running game until the
final period when Dub Jones got
away for a 57-yard dash which set
up the final touchdown. In all,
Graham threw 38 passes and COM
pleted 81 for a gain of 346 yards.
The Browns pass-catching
tWinS-Mac Speedie from Utah

under Brown at Ohio State-also
lived up to all their notices. Both
scored touchdowns on passes from
Graham and barely failed to con-
meet with half dozen others.

half and also committed a couple

hacker, he was superb.

For Sixth Time

Bobby Brownell yesterday added
further proof that he is the city S

he won the District Amateur
championship for the fifth con-
secutive year and the sixth time
in six appearances at Congress

surprise. Bobby finally won. 4

who in two of the last four years
crushed his final round opposition
by 9 and 8 margins in scheduled
36-hole final matches, was ex-
pected to eliminate the studious
Brylawski by some such margin.
But at the end of 81 holes, the
three-quarter mark of the match,
Brownell and Brylawski were all
even, and there was eyebrow rails
ing as the f1nalists walked to the
28th tee, the 10th hole at Con-
greSSional.
No Match for Brownell.
However, Brylawski, who won
three of the last four holes on
the first nine of the afternoon
round, had made his bid. After
he squared the match with a 12-
footer for a birdie deuce on the
9th, the NIT and Harvard grad
uate and Yale law student was no
match for the nerveless Brownell
on the last nine.
Brownell won the 28th hole with
a par four after Brylawski was in
trouble of the tee. The 29th was
halved in sloppy bogey f1ves, but
Bobby went two up with a par on
the 200-yard 30th.
The next hole was the back
breaker. The 31st, or 18th hole
is a 503-yard par five. Brylawski
unquestionably the longer hitter OF
the two, was on the green with q

Rookie Eddie Ford
Sets Back Detroit
For Seventh in Row
BY Froncis Stonn
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

DETROIT, Sept. 49, Eddie
Ford, 21-year-old rookie south
paw, won the big game for the
Yankees today when he outlasted
Dizzy Trout to win, 8 to /. over
Detroit end enable the world
champions to recapture the Amer
lean League lead.
1t was a tense and dramatic
struggle until the ninth when the
YankS exploded for seven runs
to give Ford, who was starting
against a first-division club for
the first time, his seventh con-
secutive major league victory.
The battle was staged before
56,546 spectators, largest Detroit
crowd since 1948.
Ford, heretofore calm, almost
icy cold, seemed to feel the pres
sure in the first inning today
when, after disposing of the lead
off man. he yielded a double,
watched Third Baseman Bobby
Brown commit an error, and then
walked two batters. He emerged
unscathed, however, and. except
for the eighth inning, was terrific.
The YankS got a one-run lead
in the sixth on line-drive homer
over the 400-foot sign in left CEN
ter by Joe Di Maggie.
At the time OF Di Mag's homer
his 30th of the season and the
Yanks' 34th in the last 18 games
it looked like Ford, the kid coming
up, and Di Maggie, the old guy
going downhill, had double
teamed the Tigers. But in the
eighth, when the Bengals scored,
it was a new game. Doubles by
Gerry Priddy and Vic Wertz tied
the game at IL.
Trout Falls Apart.
By that time, however, Trout,
who was a Detroit pitcher when
Ford was 10 years old, began to
tire. In the next inning he fell
completely apart. The 35-year-old
righthander, whose record was
1874 going into today's game
didn't have it.
Ford had anything but an aus
picious beginning. After he had
disposed of Johnny Lipon, a double
by Priddy had him in trouble. A
ground ball by George Kell was
booted by Brown, but Gerry Cole
man picked up the ball deep in
the inf1eld and a hurried throw
to the plate nipped Priddy.
But Ford still was not out Of
trouble. He walked Wertz and
Hoot Evers, loading the bases, but
scrambled out of it by throwing
out Johnny Groth.
Then began the pitchers duel.
For the next six innings, Ford
gave only two singles. Trout was
just as good until Di Maggie, with
one down in the sixth, slammed
his homer.
Leading off Detroit's eighth.
Priddy doubled for the second
time. Kell sacrificed and Wertz'S
two-bagger tied it. But Short
stop Phil Rizzuto threw out both
Evers and Groth.
Trout was a tired warrior when
the YankS came up for the ninth.
He walked Cliff Mapes. Coleman
sacrificed. 1t was a tipoff when
Trout walked Ford.
