AGAIN LEAD AGU SENATORS The Tribune vSports COSHOCTON OHIO. WEDNESDAY. KVKNIKR SEPT. 13, 1950 PAGE 8 United Press Will Poll Coaches for Ratings on Leading College Elevens By LEO H. PETERSEN NEW YORK (Ur) Thirty-five of the nation's foremost football coaches will rate the country's top collegiate football teams each week for the United Press this coming season.

Serving as the board of experts to choose- the nation's leading elevens each week will be five coaches from each section of the country the east, midlands, midwest, Pacific coast, the Rockies, south and Luke Easter's Home Run In Ninth Beats Yankees, Assists Bengals' Cause By CARL M'XDQt'IST NEW YORK (UP) The Detroit Tigers were back in first place today and promised to be tough to evict, now that their pitching staff is getting its house in order and Ted Gray is about ready to take a regular starting The battling Bengals, winners now of nine of their last 11 games, regained the top spot as a result of their 3 to 2 "squeaker" win over the Washington Senators. Ml. Ml i wm I 7 -JK ft 4 .1 I 1 xv 1 I -I -f PERFECTLY NATURAL Tackle Jim WeatheraJl, left, tells Coach Bud Wilkinson: "More Texas panhandle boys should play football at Oklahoma." Lone Eagle Is Champeen Still; Defeats Levin A lot of hearts were lighter In Coshocton today because Lone Eaxle and comely Princess BoniU left here last night still In possession of their highly prized heavyweight championship belt. Clean-living Eagle triumphed as virtue always will by winning the first and third falls from Dave Levin, a villain if there ever wa sone. Princess Bonlta tom-tommed her Eagle to a quick victory In the first walls hot Levin won the second with more fouls than Luke Appling ever hit in his best days.

The situation was tough and tense as they grunted for the third stanza but Itonila's drum pounded into action, the chief broke a dangerous holt and slammed Levin just ever so hard. Something went wrong with the schedule in the second bout when II (turn Krauser, another clean-livinc man, lost two out of three to the Mighty Titan and you wouldn't want to trust the Tllan out of your sigh. The Red Devil and Elmer the Rocket were the cleanest In the tag match and heartily-booed Ivan Kulba and the Volga Boatman got their Just dues. You can bet they won't try that dirty stuff around here again. juvenation has fully earned them their return to the head of the class.

The hurlers, who were battered and weary from overwork on the hectic recent eastern road trip, have started doing just what Manager Red Rolfe has been hoping for turning in complete 1 games without relief help. Now hard-working Hal New-houser, Dizzy Trout, Art Houtte-man, and Freddie Hutchinson are clicking and Gray is at least available for relief, If not for a starting job. Troutt turned in another stout job in yesterday's win, his second straight complete game for his 13th victory against just four defeats. Newhouser has had three complete games in the new drive, while Houttman and Hutchinson have one each. Muscle man Vic Wertz helped Trout to victory with his 27th homer that proved to be the winning run, countering an Eddie Stewart homer for Washington which tied the score at 2-2.

Earlier Wertz and George K.ell had doubled in the first two Tiger tallies off Gene Bearden. The Indians' win was a weird affair in Cleveland, lasting 4 1 i hours and being held up by rain during the first inning for an hour and 24 minutes. Cleveland kept chipping away at that big Yank lead until the score was 7-4 going into the last of the ninth. Two walks finished Yank starter Allie Reynolds and brot in Tcm Ferrick. With one out, Bill Kennedy doubled home one Indian run.

Ferrick fanned Larry Doby, but then Easter smashed his payoff blow, his second homer of the game, on Ferrick's first offering. Other homers were hit by Doby, Joe Di-Maggio, Yogi Berra, and Phil Rizzuto. The third-place Boston Red Sox moved within a game of first with their sixth straight victory, 2 to over the Chicago White Sox. Lefty Mel Parnell allowed only five singles as he gained his eighth straight win. In another American league game, the St.

Louis Browns beat the Philadelphia A's, 6 to 0, behind Al Widmar's three-hitter. In the National league, the Phillies preserved their 6'4 game lead as Robin Roberts five-hitted the St. Louis Cardinals, 1 to 0. Andy Seminick's 22nd homer was the only run of the game and gave Roberts his 19th triumph. The second-place Brooklyn Dod-Rers made only one hit, but beat Ewell Blackwell of the Cincinnati Reds, 3 to 1, as Blackwell beat himself with wildness and a wild throw.

Carl Erskine of Brooklyn tossed a three-hitter. Sheldon Jones of the New York Giants, who will be married today, pitched a six-hit shutout over the Pitsburgh Pirates, 3 to 0, and Ransom Jackson's two-run, eighth-inning homer gave the Chicago Cubs a 3 to 1 win over the Boston Braves In other National league games. Yanks Only Half Game Ahead of Boston Red Sox CLEVELAND (UP) The Cleveland Indians came from behind in the ninth inning and knocked the New York Yankees out of first place with a surprising 8 to 7 victory last ninht. Luke Easter applied the finishing touch with a sizzling line-drive homer into the right field stands that scored three runs. It was Easter's second circuit clout of the game.

There were six home runs the game, which was held up an hour and 24 minutes by rain in the first inning. Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Bei ra and Phil Rizzuto homered in the first two innings to put the Yanks ahead, 6 to 0. Larry hit the other Cleveland homer. But the real climax came with Easter's dramatic if nth-inning blast. The Indians were trailing 7 to 4 at the start of the inning, but Yank starter Allie Reynolds wavered enough to allow two walks.

Ace Yank reliever Tom Ferrick stepped into the breach, but with one out, Bob Kenedy crashed a double that scored one run and put men on second and third. Ferrick applied the pressure and struck out Doby, but his first pitch to Easter went soaring to the point of no return. The defeat dropped the Yankees half a game behind the Detroit Tigers and left them only half a gaxe ahead of the third-place Boston Red Sox. It was a weird battle for the crowd of 29,454 who sat thru four and a half hours of rain and fog. A cloudburst halted the contest in the first inning after DiMag-gio had belted his 28th homer of the season with two men on against Early Wynn.

After that the Yanks got only one run off Sam Zoldak, Dick Weik and Steve Gromek. Gromek recorded his ninth victory. Reynolds struck out 10 to take the league lead with 148 but was wild all the way, walking in one run in the second. He gave up Doby's homer with one on in the third and Easter's first round tripper in the fifth with the bases empty, but Ferrick was charged with the loss. Bob Lemon, who has won 20 for the Tribe, will seek his 21st victory for the Tribe today against 10 defeats.

Ed Lopat, who has 16 victories against eight losses, will be on the mound for New York. Indianapolis Is Playoff Winner By UNITED PRESS The Indianapolis Indians took an early lead in the American Association semi-final playoffs today on a 2-to-0 shuttout victory over St. Paul. Elmer Riddle effectively scattered six St. Paul hits to hold the Saints in check from the first pitch until he was relieved by Forrest Main in the ninth inning.

The game at Indianapolis opened a best-of -seven series. The champion Minneapolis Millers and Columbus, matched in the other semi-final series, saw their initial contest postponed because of rain. Bay Bam at Beulah COLUMBUS (UP) Bay Bam, three-year-old daughter of Bim-Bam and Flying Jinny, nosed out Optional to take the seventh and feature race at Beulah park yesterday. Only one favorite, Hal Val in the eight race, came home in front. Other winners: Bold Sister in the first.

Hypocritical in the second. Swap Shop in the third, Baylette in the fourth, Jeanne Belle in the fifth and Duskys First in the sixth. PA'JE 8 Ewell Blackwell Hurls One-Hiiler, Loses Own Game NEW YORK (UP) Ewell Blackwell of the Cincinnati Reds probably wondered today if he ought to start carrying a rabbit's foot. "Blackie" shut the Brooklyn Dodgers off with one measly hit here yesterday but it wasn't good enough. The Dodgers won, 3 to 1, and Blackwell had only himself to blame.

The game was all tied up, 1 to 1, in the eighth, when "tough luck" Ewell hit Bruce Edwards in the ribs Billy Cox bunted, and Blackwell threw wildly to first, leaving both runners safe at second and third. A wild pitch allowed Edwards to score and Cox took third. Cox came in a moment later on an infield out. Ted Kluszewski put the Reds ahead in the fourth with a home run, one of three hits given up by young Carl Erskine. The Dodgers tied the score in their half of the inning on Peewee Reese's walk, Gene Hermanski's single for the only Dodger hit, a passed ball by John Pramesa and an infield out.

The defeat ended the Reds' five-game winning streak and closed a three-game losing streak by the Dodgers. Ken Raffensberger, who has won 13 and lost 16 for the Reds, will be on the mound todiy against Brooklyn's Preacher Roe, who has 17 victories and 10 defeats. Buckeye End to Miss First Game COLUMBUS (UP) Olvo State university's football team faced the prospect today of starting the 1950 season without the services of Ralph Armstrong, regular offensive end. The team physician indicated that the six-foot, 196-pound Cleveland junior may be out of action at least three weeks with a pulled ligament in the left knee. The Buckeyes open their schedule Sept 30 against Southern Methodist "Chuck" Gandee of Berea, regular varsity fullback, also was on the bench yesterday, still not recovered from a groin injury suf fered Monday.

Jack Wagner of Piqua took over Gandees position and performed in capable style. More than a dozen other players were idle because of minor injur ies. Attendance Down; More Bets Made WHEELING, Va.

WOMEN NEVER CO WRONG bj usinR Tribune Classified ads Thev'rt qutck-acting and profitable Phone History the famous Cookie Lavagetto game and it had a further ironic twist when both were shipped back to the minors the following season. Dizzy Dean has a heart-rending story to explain how he missed his no-hitter. Diz was furious after brother Paul hurled one in the second game of a Sunday double header with the Dodgers In 1934.

Diz had pitched a three-hit shutout in the opener. "How do ycu like that guy," wailed Diz. "He don't even tell me he's gonna do it. If he tells me, you don't think them bums get a hit off me in the first game, do you?" So, how can you feel sorry for Blackwell? He's lucky Manger Luke Sewell is going to let him take his next start in turn. The New York Yankees blew a 6-0 lead and fell from first to second, a half-game behind Detroit, when they dropped their night game to the Cleveland Indians, 8 to 7.

The blow that changed the league standings was Luke Easter's three-run homer with two on and two cut in the ninth inning. With all due thanks to the direct help of big Luke, the Tigers pointed out that their pitching re- Dorothy Kielty Is Strong Favorite As Champ Falls By BILLY FERGUSON ATLANTA, Ga. (UP) A real "dark-horse" occupied the spot supposed reserved for the defending champion today as the 50th National Women's Amateur golf championship headed into the third and fourth rounds at East Lake Country club. The longshot who suddenly was in the spotlight was blonde Mis J. Albert Hayes of Philadelphia, who yesterday ousted 1949 winner Mrs.

Dorothy Germain Porter of Westmont, N. one up in 19 holes. Mrs. Porter was the first major casualty of the tourney, and it was obvious that she was far off her game as she struggled desperately to stay even with Mrs. Hayes for 18 holes.

On the 19th she cracked with a bogie five and Mrs. Hayes came thru with a par to win The shot that beat Mrs. Porter was a missed four-foot putt that would have given her a par. Then, with the pressure on full, Mis. Hayes sank a 10-footer.

The elimination of Mrs. Porter further strengthened the position of Dorothy Kielty of Long Beach, as the favorite. She easiiy defeated 15-year-old Barbara Mc-Intire of Toledo. 6 and 5, and was matched in the third round against Ruth Woodward of Fall River. Mass.

Another 15 -year -old player Barbara Blakely of Anniston, scored a 20-hole mild upset over! Pat Devaney of Grosse Isle, in the second round. In the third round, however, she faced Grace DeMoss of Corvallis, 1949 Canadian Open champion. The top match of the third round was expected to be the clash between Carol Diringer of Tiffin and Dorothy Kirby, a local star who is thoroly familiar with the tricky Bermuda greens of the Easl Lake course. Miss Kirby was an easy 4 and 2 winner over Carol Clark of Wyoming, yesterday but Miss Diringer had to go 18 holes to defeat Mrs. J.

A. Ochiltree, St. Charles, 111., one up. Others leading third-round matches include: Claire Doran of Rocky River, O. vs.

Pat O'SulliVan of Orange, Beverly Hanson of Pasadena, vs. Betty MacKinnon of Dallas; Philomena Baltiy of Eire vs. Josephine Smith ot Ardmore, Pat Garner of Midland, vs. Helen Fay Crocker of Montevideo, Uruguay; Marjorie Lindsay of Decatur, 111., vs. Nancy Keplinger of Hempstead, N.

and Jeanne Bisgood of Paikstone, England, vs. Polly Riley of Fort Worth, Tex. Misses Baltiy and Bisgood were the only members of the British Curtis Cup team who were not eliminated in the second round. Miss Keplinger will be swinging for the first time in this tourney today. She drew a bye in the first round and won by default in the second over Mrs.

IE FOR AMERICA'S FAVORITE IN THE HANDY 6-PAK They represent every major in tercollegiate conference and their teams will play a total of 96 in-tersectional games, giving them the nation-wide knowledge neces-lary to rate football team intelligently. The coaches will rate what they believe to be the best 10 teams in the nation in order each week and from their ballots the United Press will compile a consensus, basd on 10 points for a first place vote, nine for second and down to one point for tenth. The selections of each coach will be confidential.

Their votes will provide the only football rating based on the opinion of the men who know the sport best. The nature of the board, giving each section of the country equal representation, avoids the sectional bias and ballot box stuffing which other football polls have been criticized. The Uniied Tress will carry these football ratings for morning and afternoon newspapers each Tuesday of the season, starting on Sept. 26. Before that, however, the coaches are going to predict what teams will be leading the college football parade when the season closes in December.

The consensus of their predictions will be carried for morning and afternoon newspapers of Tuesday, Sept. 19. These predictions will be based on facts no guesswork. The coaches have access to secret scouting reports; they know the material situation at all schools and the hundred and one other things which are needed for accurate forecasting. The board's selections will be ea'led officially the United Tress football ratings.

Here are the coaches who make up the board: EAST Edward J. Erdelatz. Navy; Herman Hickman, Yale; George (Lefty) James, Cornell; Lou Little, Columbia and George Munger, Pennsylvania. MIDLANDS Don Faurot, Missouri; William G. Glassford, Nebraska; J.

Here's something else that was brought to our attention by Angling Authority Jason Lucas. Fly casters are told to wait and feel the "pull of the line" on the backcast. Why has nobody ever advised the beginner at plug casting to wait to feel the pull of the plug? It's the main secret, next to that free thumb, of smooth plug casting. Injuries Hurt Colgate HAMILTON.

Call 242 Anderson Son YOUR Goodyear Dealers Retreading Vulcanizing By Ted Kesting Plug casters have been told over and over to keep their reel handles up, not sidewise when casting, but I'll wager less than a tenth of those you see fishing do ia. So let's stop and figure out why this is so important. First, a casting reel spins much more smoothly and freely with the spool sort of balanced on the tail pivot.

It just won't run right with the handles sidewise, the pillars and spool horizontal. Then, with the reel handles side-wise, the guides are on top of the rod. As the line goes out it slaps the rod and when wet, clings and jerks on it. But what happens with the guides on one side, as they must be with the reel handles up Why the bow of the line downward between the guides can touch nothing but air. So it flows out smoothly, easily.

Now for the most important reason. What do you do when you cast with the spool horizontal? Why you're throwing the rod out with the thumb of your casting hand you just can't help it. But has this ever occurred to you? How are you going to drive the rod out with your thumb and at the same time use that thumb to control the reel? You can't. To control the reel properly, and to be sensitive, the thumb must be relaxed, not tense and pushing: one job is all it can handle. So to push the rod forward use the lowest point of the index finger where it joins Uie palm.

Now let's boil all this down to the essential sentence, which if you'll remember 8nd follow, will soon make you a smooth, accurate (well, practically) compared to the ether members of the club. They lost their games! For the record, these unfortunates were Earl Moore of the 1801 'Cleveland Indians, Leon Ames of the 1908 New York Giants, Tommy Hughes of the New York Yankees, Jim Scott cf the 1914 Chicago White Sox, Hippo Vaughn of the 1917 Chicago Cubs and Bobo Newsom of the 1934 St. Louis Browns and a couple dozen other major and minor league teams. Vaughn lost because he just wasn't the best pitcher on the field that day. His opponent Fred Toney of the Reds, hurled 10 hitless innings to gain the nod, 1 to 0.

Vaughn matched him for nine innings in the double on record but "collapsed in the 10th."
