FOOTBALL [
PICKINGS
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, Oct. 19 — .P) — So
that is what became of the major
league’s lively ball. The nation’s
college football teams are using it
now. At least there doesn't appear
to be any other reason for thr
corner missing 12 of latt week’s 6E
decisions.
Steve Owen of the New York
football Giants says the ball in lire
now "must be made of the hide
of a greased pig turned loose at an
Oklahoma county fair.”
Last week’s .824 average lifted
this corner's season’s mark to .777.
Here are this week’s picks:
Army vs Harvard: the nation’:
No. 1 team to stay No. 1. Army.
Oklahoma vs Kansas State: Okla
homa.
Southern Methodist vs Rice: i
year ago Rice took this one. 41-27
But this time the Mustangs are de
termined to go all the way.
Notre Dame vs Indiana: the odds
makers rate the Irish as seven point
better than Indiana. Why start an
argument?
Ohio State vs Minnesota: the re
cord points to the Buckeyes.
Illinois vs Washington: the un
beaten west coast team will find
that Johnny Karas is a ground
gaining machine. Illinois.
Michigan vs Wisconsin: the Bad
gers have won three straight game
with a minimum of offense. The
honeymoon ends against Michigan.
Southern California vs Navy:
Southern California.
Finishing the rest in a hurry:
Friday Night
Boston College over Georgetown
Miami (Fla) over Boston University.

JIMMY DYKES
SUCCESSOR TO
C0« MACK
PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 19——
Jimmy Dykes is proud of being l
selected to succeed Connie Muck as
manager of the Philadelphia Ath
letics but lie's realistic enough to |
know that a tremendous rebuilding
job has been tossed into his lap.
To say Dykes was starting from,
scratch would be an understatement, ]
The rotund smoker of big black;
cigars inherits a ball club that fin- ,
ished last in the American League j
his year, 47 games behind the first, j
place New York Yankees.
But Jimmy isn’t wearing a harried :
look yet. After the excitement of !
i: being selected to fill the famous
hoes of the retired 87-year-old j
Mack had died down today, Dykes i
;ook this stock of his ball club:
“This team isn’t as bad as its re- j
lord. They finished so far behind
because they loafed. And believe \
me, there won't be any loafing in i
1951.”
Mack, long known as the Grand j
Did Man of Baseball, announced his !
retirement at a luncheon for sports
writers and radio men yesterday.
The move had been rumored for i
some time, but his decision came
as a surprise to many.
Speaking with hardly a trace oi
emotion, Mack told the luncheon
group: “I am sorry I could not give
Philadelphia all it expected. Thanks
for keeping me 50 years as manager
of the Athletics and thanks, too, tc
the Philadelphia public for them
fine support.”
I I
COMPARED 1949
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19 — Ufl —
Football fatalities in the nation are
down almost 50 percent at this stage
of the grid season as compared to
the same period in 1949.
There have been six deaths at
tributed directly to football, one i
iisted as indirect and still another
is registered as uncertain.
Added to these is one death in
rugby football in Canada, said to
be the third in Canadian senior
rugby history.
The statistics were obtained today
from the committee on injuries and
fatalities of the American Football
Coaches Association, headed by Dr.
Floyd R. Eastwood of Los Angeles
State College.
At this same period last year, in
cluding the second week of the sea
son in October, direct football
fatalities numbered 11.
JOE GORDON NEW
PLAYER - MANAGER
FOR SACRAMENTO
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 19—
<j>)—Joe Gordon, spectacular second
baseman with world champion New
York Yankee and Cleveland In
dian teams has signed as player
manager of the Sacramento Solcns
who finished the 1950 season deep
in the Pacific Coast League celler.
The reason, explained the “Flash”
of the pre-war Yankees: "I like the
weather.”
Sacramento’s temperature fre
quently hits 100 during the summer.
Sometimes it gets hotter.
Jo-Jo White, Solon general man
ager, announced the signing yester
day. The salary was not announced,
but was reported "in excess” of
t20,000. Unless it is considerably in
excess the 34-year-old star who has
played with the Cleveland Indians
since his two years of war service
will be taking a cut in pay to
assume the managerial toga. He re
ceived $35,000 with the Cleveland
Indians this year and could have
aken not more than a 25 percent
cut under baseball law had he re
.urned to that club.
But Joe, who was signed by the
New York Yankees fresh out of
the University of Oregon, has ex
pressed a desire to play in the coast
.engue before.
Joe had been seriously considered
as the 1051 pilot for the Seattle
Rainiers, and reportedly a strong
possibility as the 1951 manager of
.he Pittsburgh Pirates.

HUSKIES OFF |
FOR ILLINOIS!
SEATTLE, Oct. 19—l/Pl—Crippled
by the loss of two first string de
fense men. the undefeated Univer
sity of Washington fbotball team
was enroute today to Champaign,
111., and Saturday’s intersectional
clash with Illinois.
Sophomores Jim Mangan and
Dick Sprague, both suffering fron
hurts received in last Saturday's
tiff with Oregon State, were left ofi
the traveling squad named by Coach
Howie Odell.
In their places, Odell nominated
tackle Jim Pederson and fullback
Jack Nugent.
Mangan, however, still may come
around in time to see action against
ihe Illini. The big Malden, Mass.,
tackle took part in yesterday’s final
scrimmage session and plans to go
to Champaign on another plane tc
meet his parents at the game.
CESAR BR!ON !S
T9 MEET LOUiS
CHICAGO, Oct. 19—Argen
tine Cesar Brion is the first road
block sprawled before former heavy
weight champion Joe Louis in lii:
projected shuffle up the long trail
back to the top of fistiana.
Ironically, the foe Joe will oppose
at the Chicago Stadium Nov. 29 has
the one asset, youth, which appar
ently weighed so heavily against
Louis when he was pummeled by
champion Ezzard Charles at New
York Sept. 27.
Louis, however, is confident he
can brush the 2G-year-old Brion,
winner of 31 bouts against three de
feats. Then he hopes to whip prob
ably Lee Oma and Rocky Marciano
and then square things with Charles
next June.
“I need money, sure, but the real
reason I’m coinin’ back is that I
know I can beat Charles and I
want to work my way back to an
other fight with him,” drawled
Louis.
SWIMMING C6ACH
OF HUSKIES HAS
HOPES IK SALMON
SEATTLE, Oct. 19—(zP)—Like a
fish in water. That’s the way Uni
versity of Washington swimming
coach Jack Tnrney describes Pete
Salmon—the man Torney hopes will
pace the Husky tank team back to
the northern division swim crown.
The Victoria, B.C., natator, who
dropped out of school last season
to compete in the British Empire
Games at New Zealand, won the
meet’s 100 meter freestyle title and
will be groomed this year for na
tional competition in the individual
medley.
Salmon is one of 12 letterwinners
Torney has back this year. Washing
ton dropped the division title last
year to Washington State after
monopolizing the crown for five
straight seasons.
Says American Oil
Sent China Commies
After War Started
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 — 13*1 —
Senator O’Conor (D-Md) declared
today he is convinced that about
half a million gallons of American
oh were sent to Communist China
after the Korean war started.
He said evidence of such oil ship
ments showed “a very lax situation
that could have been of tremendous
value t<5 the enemy.”
“Improper and wrong ... a gross
miscarriage of regulations,” were
other words used by O’Conor, chair
man of a Senate Commerce subcom
mittee investigating reports that
some American ships have been
hauling strategic materials to Red
China.
O’Conor's comments followed tes
t imony by officials of the Commerce
Department and the Army's office
of occupied areas to the effect that
substantial quantities of American
oil got through U.S. trade barriers
to China since the start of the Ko
rean war.
The departmental witnesses de
clined to identify shippers of tire
oil. They said some of the questions
asked by O’Conor dealt with “clas
sified information” and could not
be answered in public.
One Corpmerce Department ofli
cial testified thfit "a considerable
portion” of a 24,000-drum oil ship
ment went to Communist China
from Japan after the Korean v.ar
started last June.
The testimony came from Edward
Guinane. assistant chief of the in
vestigation staff of the departmen
office of international trade.

GOLD DELAYED i
! — I
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19—UPI— |
Sentencing of Harry Gold. 39-year
; old chemist who confessed deliver- •
ing atomic secrets to Russian agents,
was delayed today—at the govern
ment's request—until Dec. 7.
U.S. District Judge James P. Mc
Granery said he was reluctant to
delay further the sentence but did
so since both the government and
defense attorneys had agreed.
U.S. Attorney Gerald Gleeson
moved for continuance of sentenc
ing on espionage charges until after
Jan. 1.
McGrnnery refused to set the date
that far ahead.
Gleeson said Gold, if sentenced,
would not be able to cooperate as
fully with the government investi
gators as if he remained a prisoner
without sentence.
FBI agents arrested Gold May 23.
On July 20. he pleaded guilty to all
counts against him and faces a
maximum penalty of death.
