Connie Mack Retires as
Manager of Athletics
Held Post Since 1902
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18—.'-Tt—
Connie Mack, popularized as "the
Grand Old Man of Baseball,” re
tired today as manager of the Phila
delphia Athletics, a post he has
held since 1902 when the American
League was organized.
Mack will be succeeded as field
boss of the A’s by Jimmy Dykes,
colorful ex-third baseman for the
A’s and one-time manager of the
Chicago White Sox.
Mack is 87 years old. His 88th
birthday anniversary will be ob
served December 23.
He had been under fire for a
number of years by sports fans in
Philadelphia who argued that Mack
had outlived his usefulness.
The Athletics wound up last in the
American League this season just
completed. Dykes acted as assistant
manager and took over the field job
on a number of occasions toward
the end of the season.

HOCKEY GAMES
(By the Associated Press)
Vancouver’s Canucks shot into
first place in the Paciifc Coast
Hockey League last night, scoring
two first period goals and hanging |
on for a 2-0 victory over the Vic- :
toria Cougars.
The Canuck victory lifted them!
over the crippled New Westminster I
Royals, who fell 4-3 before Tacoma,
and the idle Portland Eagles.
George De Felice and Bill Shill
marked up the Vancouver tallies
early in the first period of a ragged
contest marked by four 10-minute
misconduct penalties.
New Westminster, playing without
the services of three players injured
Monday in an automobile accident,
paced the Tacomans throughout the
first two periods but succumbed in
the final canto when the Rockets
clicked for goals by Ching Dheere
and Doug Toole. '
At Raymond, where the three
players and trainer Ernie Proctor
are hospitalized, attendants said the
condition of forward Dutch Evers
was “very serious.”

LINEMEN OF WEEK
; TOLDJN AP POLL
By TED MEIER
NEW YORK. Oct. 18—.JPl—For his j
superb defensive play against Michi
gan last Saturday, defensive center 1
Elmer Stout of Army’s unbeaten and
untied eleven, was named the Asso- '
ciated Press college football lineman
of the week today.
Four times the legions from Ann ,
Arbor were thrown back in the i
shadow of the Army goal posts, i
Leading this defense was Stout, 20- |
year-old junior from South RiVer,!
N.J.
Thus to the 5:11. 180-pound Cadet j
goes a major share of the credit i
for helping Army retain its No. 1 |
ranking in the weekly A.P. poll.
Across the country in California.!
Big Bill McColl, Stanford end, came I
through with a topnotch perform- '
ance against Santa Clara that |
earned him second place in the line- j
man poll. \
Stanford won by 10 points, but it I
was a tight squeeze and it took j
McColl’s pass catching to turn the j
rick.
Center Jim Wileyn of Washington 1
| played a great defensive game
rgainst Oregon State. Then to
leironstrate his versatility he played j
fullback in the last period.

How come a big league court team
