Branch Hickey Selling His Stock Dodgers Official Of Club Says
10000 to See
Yonks, Red Sox
|ODen Series
By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The
Yankees and the Red Sox open a
do or die" series at the Yankee
Stadium today.
The Yanks carry a slender half
game lead into the game which is
expected to draw at least $4,000
fans. The Yanks backed into first
place last night as the Tigers
dropped a 4-3 game to the Indians
in Cleveland. The Red Sox are in
third place, two games behind.
A Yankee sweep of the two
game set would practically knock
the Red Sox out of contention as
Boston then would be four games
behind with only eight games left
to play. The Red Sox, on the
other hand. would seriously crimp
the Yank chances by winning the
two games.
Two of baseball,s crack left
handlers. Eddie Lepat of the Yanks
and Mel Parnell of the Red Sox
will be the opposing pitchers. Both
boast identical 17-8 won-and-lost
records.
Lopat has won four out of six
games from the Red Sox so far
this season. Three of Lopat's
triumphs have been in Yankee
Stadium. Parnell, who has won
nine straight games and IL of his
last 13, has a 81 record over the
Yanks.
Manager Casey Stengel is ex-
pected to shoot 20-game- winner
Vic Raschi at the Red Sox tomor-
row. Steve O'Neill of the Red
Sox hasn't made up his mind as
to who will pitch for the Red Sox
tomorrow, but is believed to be
leaning toward Ellis Kinder, who
has been Boston's relief ace re-
Gently.
In the event Of rain this after
noon the game will be played at
night. Should there be a total
Washout, a double header will be
played tomorrow.
Stengel, commenting on the
race yesterday, said, "One of these
teams has got to go under soon.
1t doesn't look like those fellows
out there Detroit) intend to 90
under. They're pretty good fight
ers and they've got the best of
the schedule over us.
$50 we've got to beat the Red
Sox couple right away. I figure
the team which wins SO games
will win the flag. That means
we've got to win Z out of TO-"

strong Randolph-Macon Academy
in Front Royal, Va. and Bulls
meets Greenbrier Military School
at Lewisburg, w. Va.
Pre- season dope labels st. Johns
as power-laden, but they face a
stiff test in Randolph Macon.
The Academy won, 21-0, last year
but this seasons contest is rated
a toss-up. A st. John victory
would be a major hurdle for the
Cadets.
Bulls boasts line averaging
100 and a backfield weighing 1873.
Led by 205-pound Leo Speros,
ALL High back at Wilson in 1949
Bulls will be favored.
Phelps meets Huntington, de-
Tending Negro Virginia State
champion, at Newport News to-
night. The game was postponed
from last night because of rain.
In the few games that were
played last night. Gaithersburg
defeated Friends, 1910, at Gath
ersburg; James Monroe topped
Falls Church at Fredericksburg,
1876; Western tied Mechanics
burg, 1913. at Mechanicsburg,
Pa, and Addition topped Parker
Gray, 60. at Alexandria.
The game at Gaithersburg was
the first night high school game
ever played in Montgomery Coun-
ty. Both scores came in the sec
ond period, one on a 10-yard run
by Dick Newell and the other by
Frank Shantz on a 20-yard pass
play.
Western came from behind to
tie Mechanicsburg with a last
period touchdown by Tom Turco.
The other Red Raider marker was
by Paul Weinstein in the first
quarter.
George Franklin's pass to Alex
Barksdale for 49 yards in the
opening period accounted for Ad-
diSon's victory.

Tech Game With WI. Toniqht
Features School Grid Schedule

Most Of the high school football
interest in the area will be focused
on the Tech Washington-Lee game
at 8 o'clock tonight at the WI
Stadium. Postponed from last
night. the battle shapes up as one
of the top contests of the season.
Tech boasts fast, shifty back
field combination of Benny Colan-
dreo. John Wege, John Hobbs and
Snookie Herman. The four ran
roughshod over Bladensburg, $40
last week and on early season in
formation the Trainers must be
rated as strong contenders for the
interhigh crown.
WI. lost to Fort Hill of Cum
berland, Md. 20-7, in it's first game
last week but the result is no indi-
cation that the Generals will not
be powerful this year. Fort Hill
started practice the first of August
and has one of the smoothest high
school Ts anywhere. Led by g.
foot, 200-pound Sam Ebert. a
deadly passer and strong runner
Westinghouse should have one
of the better teams in the Wash
ington area.
Other night games pit Mount
Vernon against Dewitt at 8 o'clock
at Mount Vernon and Mount
Rainier against Charlotte Hall at
the University of Maryland at
o'clock.
Mount Vernon and Dewitt were
scheduled for Thursday night but
bad weather forced a postpone
ment. Mount Vernon started its
season with a lat win over Con
zaga. the 1949 All-Metropolitan

College Grid Season
Opens With Scattered
Games Over Nation
BY the Asseeioied Press

College football - the annual
autumn whilgig-began today
with scattering Of games around
the country.
Most of the major teams-at
least those that are figured to be
in the Nations top 10 when the
final returns are in a couple OF
months hence-don't swing into
action until next week.
However, both the Pacific Coast
Conference and the Southeastern
Conference have loop games on
tap. In the Pacific Coast, Oregon
visited U. c. l.. A., and although
the contest probably will have nc
bearing on the outcome of the
league title, it should prove good
one.
Also on the Pacific Coast, two OF
the top powers get into action
but they are figured to win as they
please. The defending champion
California Bears entertain Santa
Clara at Berkley. while Stanford
which might give the titleholders
a struggle for top honors, played
San Jose State.
Kentucky Favored Over L. s. u.
In the Southeastern Conference
Louisiana State and Kentucky
both of which have aspiration!
for the crown. play at Lexington
tonight with the Wildcats in the
favorite's spot.
Last year, Kentucky polished of
the lads from the Bayou country
1910. But after that, L. S. U. be-
gan to roll and wound up In the
Sugar Bowl. If L. S. U. has not
cooled of, this one could result in
an upset.
A couple of other interesting
affairs were on the agenda for
tonight. Southern Methodist
without Doak Walker plays Geor-
gia Tech at Dallas, with S. M. U.
favored. Even without Walker
they still have Kyle Rote, who
bodies no good for the enemy.
The pickings are slim in the
East. Yale started against Con-
necticut, Villanova tackled Du-
quesne and Syracuse clashed with
Rutgers in the features. In the
Southwest two games of some
Importance were to be played,
Texas Texas Tech and Arkansas
Oklahoma A. and M.
Tar Heels Play N. C. State.
In the south, North Carolina
met North Carolina State at
Chapel Hill. while in the midwest
Oregon State visited Michigan
State and Texas Christian jour-
neyed to Kansas.
Other openers include:
Colorado at Iowa State Chg
Seven), Tulsa at San Francisco
North Dakota State at Marquette
Fordham at Lafayette. Western
