NUMBER 1,
GRID POLL
NEW YORK, Oct. 10—(AV-'The )
Midwest’s post-war stranglehold was
broken today and a wide open battle
shaped up for national college foot
ball honors.
Four-time champion Notre Dame
plummeted to tenth place in the
weekly Associated Press poll while
Army took over the No. 1 team in
the country.
The Midlands, ■which have fur
nished the mythical titleholder nine
of the 15 times since 1936 and con
tinuously since the last war, were
out of contention.
Their best showing in the top ten
was No. 9, held down by the Purdue
team that splintered Notre Dame’s
reign with a 28-14 victory last Sat
urday at South Bend.
The stoutest challenge to Army’s
position came from the Southwest,
which put three unbeaten Titans—
Southern Methodist, Oklahoma and
Texas—on the Cadets' heels.
Here’s the latest rundown of
gridiron might, with every section
represented.
Army, SMU, Oklahoma, Texas,
Kentucky, Stanford, California,
Maryland, Purdue and Notre Dame
The University of Washington,
with 444 votes, was 11th.
The standings are bound to get
another good shaking as the result
of the big doubleheader show in
Dallas.
Oklahoma, No. 3, and Texas, No.
4. collide in a Saturday afternoon
game in the Cotton Bowl, while
SMU, No, 2, entertains unbeaten
but once-tied Oklahoma A. and M.
that night.
HOCKEY GAMES
VICTORIA, B.C., Oct. 10—(^P)—
The Pacific Coast Hockey League
had two firsts last night—Seattle’s
first win and Victoria’s first loss.
The Ironmen skated all over the
Cougars for a 5-2 win before a Ca
nadian Thanksgiving holiday crowd
of 4,500 fans.
Freddie Weaver and Joe Bell
scored in the first period to give
Seattle a lead it never relinquished.
Doug Lewis and Pete Trachuk added ,
two more in the second canto and j
Lewis added another in the final j
period.
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
NEW YORK, Oct. 10—(41—The
National Hockey League opens its
1950-51 season tomorrow night—the
earliest inaugural in history—and
Detroit’s talent-rich Red Wings once
again are expected to clean up in
championship style.
The Red Wings will begin at home
against the New York Rangers, the
team they beat in the Stanley Cup I
finals last April.
Another opener is carded for
Thursday at Chicago, where Ebbie
Goodfellow unveils his revitalized
Black Hawks against the Montreal
Canadians. Then all six clubs will
see action over thf weekend.
Polls close at 8 tonight. Vote.

SATURDAY
SEATTLE, Oct, 10—<#)—The bet
ting gentry have made the Uni
versity of Washington football squad
a 14-point favorite in its game with
Oregon State Beavers Saturday and
Coach Howie Odell doesn’t like it.
Odell warned his undefeated Hus
kies yesterday that the twice-beaten
Staters are a serious threat to any
ball club—then pointed knowingly
at last year’s upset they 'handed
Washington. You remember the
score? It was O.S.C. 7, Washington 3.
CHARLES TO
BE CHAMP;
FIGHT PLANS
NEW YORK, Oct. 10—(41—Ezzard
Charles is going to be a “fighting
champion, just like Joe Louis was."
So said the heavyweight cham
pion’s co-manager, Jake Mintz, as
he discussed Charles’ future plans
today.
“We would like to have him fight
once a month, if possible,” said
Mintz. “We are still dickering for
another fight with Freddie Beshore
in Cincinnati late in November.”
CLUB MANAGER OF
CHICAGO SOX N9W
KEPT BIG SECRET
CHICAGO, Oct. 10—.TP)—'The Chi- j
cago White Sox front office still is
keeping the identity of the club’s j
1951 manager a secret. j
General Manager Frank Lane and j
Vice President Chuck Comiskey, who j
have been given the green light by
the board of directors for straight
ening out managerial problems, plan
an announcement “within 48 hours.” !
There was plenty of unofficial
word that the Sox next pilot will be
Paul Richards, former big league
catcher and manager of the Seattle
club in the Pacific Coast League.
Richards almost had the job a year
ago after Jack Onslow' was fired.
In the meantime, John (Red)
Corriden is still the skipper and the
Sox front office will not confirm
whether he will be out or in.

BASEBALL BALK RULE
NOT FATAL TO BLIND
TOMS THIS SEASON
—
This past baseball season’s crown
ing incitement to mass murder—the
new “balk” rule—did not cause the j
death of a single umpire. This seems |
incredible. Records fail to show that
any umpire, in the professional
game at least, has ever been slain
in line of duty.
Umpires have been knocked out
with impromptu projectiles, throt
tled, slung to earth and pummeled.
Glass bottles at baseball parks have
long since taken on secondary
characteristics as missies against
umpires. Cordons of police many a
time have had to escort the other
men in blue through enraged mobs.
Umpires are Ishmaels by voca
tion. No man alive ever slapped one
on the back and shouted, “What a
dazzling decision! Allow me to offer
you a quart of champagne!”
All this is very unfair. Without
them there could be no national
game. Baseball would be an anarchy,
not a sport. Each play would turn
into a filibuster, each pitch an in
citement to chaos. Baseball with
out umpires is exactly unthinkable.
The umpire formally starts the
play, conducts it as quickly and
neatly as possible to its normal
?lose or, if necessary, halts it as he
pleases. His judgment of plays can
never be effectively questioned by
anybody. The only protests admiss
able on an umpire's decision arc
on grounds of technical interpreta
tion of the rules of baseball.
These rules are spread over many
finely printed pages. Any phrase ir
them may be critical. They are re
markably detailed, even in specify
ing such minute points as the legal
space between thumb and fore
finger of a fielder’s glove. Games
pennants, the annual world series
and great investments hinge on the
umpire’s split-second verdicts ol
these rules.
A new rule on an old fault—t
• balk” by a pitcher—focused public
attention this past season more than
usual on umpires. The now famous
regulation is embraced in the code
in the thirteenth—and only new—
definition of a balk. It appears a;
Rule 8.05 (m) and reads: “It is a
balk when the pitcher delivers the
pitch from ‘set position’ without
coming to a stop of one full second.’
A balk—that is, the failure of a
pitcher to complete a motion which
he has started—has always been
illegal. With a runner on base, for
a pitcher to be able suddenly to
switch his throw to a bag after
starting an ostensible one to the
plate would give him too great a
jump in catching a runner off base.
The new rule merely pins down the
fair time interval before the pitcher,
having finished his wind-up or
stretch, can throw to either base or
plate. The penalty for violation of
any balk rule is an advance of one
base for each runner.
At the season’s opening, Rule
8.05 (m) made a shattering debut.
Play began in the Pacific Coast
League—whose caliber is about as
close to the majors as any minor
league can be—a week earlier than
in the big loops. That week was a
caution. No less than 49 balks were
called during it by the umpires.
Baseball was at a boil. The major
leagues' initial weeks brought a
similar ridiculous rush of penalties.
The sports pages were full of the
balk rule for several weeks. It In
furiated pitchers, managers, public
—and umpires alike. But as time
passed it became less controversial.
Pitchers had learned their lesson
and umpires eased up somewhat in
its application.
Though an umpire is supposed to
never call a play wrong, there are
some umpires who will privately ad
mit that they are infallible. No um
pire will admit that he doesn't “call
them all” as he sees them every
time.
He had better because organized
baseball is not lenient with his
mistakes. Failure to announce a
player substitution at the time it is
made in a game is punished by a
$25 fine—the only penalty to an
umpire cited in the rules.
One phase of the umpire's per
formance is sometimes ignored —
they must be showmen. They must
hustle, show they are hustling, and
keep the game hustling. Crowds
frequently get as much delight from
the arbiter's gestures and shouts
as from the play he is judging. Even
the rhubarbs are part of the game
spectacle.
What makes an umpire? This
probably can best he answered in
that, after all you can’t beat the
hours.
MICHIGAN TOM
TO GET ARMY IN
GAME SATURDAY
ANN ARBOR,'Mich., Oct. 10—1^
— Michigan’s Wolverines have a
score to settle with Army in the
game at Yankee Stadium Saturday.
They are determined to break the
Cadet's 22-game unbeaten string
just as Army spoiled their own
streak of victories here last year.
Michigan had a 25-game skein
going when underdog Army plast
ered the Wolverines with a stinging
21-7 defeat.
Michigan Coach Bennie Ooster
baan said today he is not trying to
get his boys “pepped up" for'the

ledged some probably still are rank
ling from last year’s setback.

BEARS, TROIANS TO
MEET ON SATURDAY
IN BIG GRID GAME
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10 — UP) —
With no injured players on the first
three teams, the defending chain
pion California Bears will be in the,
best shape of the season Saturday
when they meet USC’s Trojans in
Memorial Coliseum. ♦
That was the advice given before j
the Southern California Football
Writers meeting yesterday by pub
licist Norrie West, Cal’s emissary
for the Pacific Coast Conference’s |
No. 1 attraction this week.
West’s exultation was exceeded'
only by the discomfort of USC Coach !
Jeff Cravath. Even if his boys
weren’t bunged up, Cravath la- j
nented, and many of them are, USC
would probably lose anyway.
Asked if he could stop the ex- |
plosive California pitchout play,
Jim Monachino to Johnny Olzew
ki. Cravath replied:
“I can stop it aasy—if Pappy j
Waldorf promises not to come down
he middle."
Washington State came “down the |
middle” and every place else, too, J
ast Saturday, but the Trojans
escaped with a 20-20 standoff. Other ,
lomments at the luncheon:
Doug Mills, athletic director. Uni- j
versity of Illinois—“it's nice to be
rlaying UCLA out here again, par- j
icularly since we’re welcome this |
ime." The Ulini’s last appearance i
lere was in the 1947 Rose Bowl
tame, for which public sentiment
'rongly favored Army. Illinois and i
JCLA clash Friday night.
UCLA Coach Henry (Red) Sand
ms — “Washington has a fine of
fense. but whether its line can hold I
up or not, I don’t know. I don’t |
nink Washington will go through I
ne conference season undefeated.”
