PAGE EIGHT ('HE EVENING TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1951' Sayre; Athens, South Waverly, and Waverly, NT. Lopat Faces Jansen Today as Yanks Again Deadlock Series Ohio State Edged Out by Michigan State DiMaggio Reviva Hornsby Signing Guarantees 13 Managers in '52 Michigan State, California Each No. 1, According to What You Read Against Maglie Defeats Giants 6-2 L5 i place votes and 146 points and the Illini 132 points. Next came the week's three newcomers to the' top 10. Georgia Tech, which upset Kentucky, 13-7, jumped from 13th to eighth place with one first place ballot and 83 points.
Maryland and Baylor were tied for ninth place with 47 points each, the Ter-raupins moving up from the 12th place and the Bears from the southwest conference advancing from 17th. Michigan Stare was ranked first by 42 of the 112 AP writ-ers and broadcasters participating in "the poll and received a total of 971 points on the basis of 10 points for first, nine for second and so on. California was No. 1 on 33 ballots and received strong support for other high positions to roll up 961 points. Tennessee, the pre-season No.
1 eleven, received 821 tallies, with 180 of them coming from 18 first-place selections. The top three teams were in the same order in the first poll last week but Michigan State held a much larger lead while Tennessee pressed the Bears for runner-up honors. The voters apparently thought moi-e of California's 55-14 conquest of Minnesota than Michigan State's come-from-behind 24-20 triumph of Ohio State and Tennessee's 26-0 of Duke. Oklahoma's 14-7 setback Texas Aggies was disastrous to the Sooners in so far ''as the poll is concerned. Last year's No.
1 team dropped from the lofty fourth spot of, last week to 11th with only 102 votes. sThe Texas Aggies replaced the Sooners as No. 4, moving up from the bottom rung in the first ten. Surging back when 10 points behind in the final quarter, Michigan State rose to the occasion and won by the slim margin of 24 to SO over Ohio State at the Columbus, Ohio, Bowl. Above, with teammates clearing a path, Michigan's Vincent Pisano goes through for a down in the third quarter.
(International Soundphoto) i 1 1 "-nffiffr ur For the second straight week the two No. 1 football teams in the nation are Michigan State and California, according to whether you like the selections of football coaches or football writers. The United Press board of coaches named California the, county's top college team and placed Georgia Tech, Maryland and Baylor among the top 10 for the first time. Michigan State still rated No. 1 in a poll by writers for the Associated Press, but not by any great margin, giving only a 10-point edge over California, with Tennessee not far back in third.
The most impressive advance of the week in the UP poll was made by Texas A. and which vaulted from 10th to fifth place after handing 1950 champion Oklahoma its first regular-season defeat in 30 games, 14-7, last Saturday. California, which rolled over 55-14, for its third straight victory, received 17 first place votes and a total of 319 points from the 35 leading coaches who comprise the rating board. The Bears topped the list last week with nine first votes and 267 points. Michigan State, with nine first place votes and 276 points, was second Tennessee, with five first place ballots and 237 points, was third; and Texas, with 215 points, was fourth, as all four top teams retained the places they held the previous week.
Tennessee was voted the top team in both the pre-season and the first weekly ratings. After Texas A and whicTi was fifth with one first place vote and 191 points, came Notre Dame and Illinois, both retaining their positions of last week. The Irish had two first SPORTRAITS ID ILL CREEDd ALL- VALLEY SCAT BACK FRIDAY NIGHT, THIS JUNIOR RAN THE ft il Yanks might have had more if Allie hadn't been cut down off first base on some peculiar base running. Berra's single preceded Di-Maggio's smash into the upper left field seats in the fifth, Mag-lie's last inning. Sheldon gave up two unearned runs in the seventh on two singles, a walk and an error.
Phil ftizzuto singled and Gene Woodling walked. Trying to nip Rizzuto off second, Westrum threw to Eddie Stanky who ran Phil toward third and hit him. in the back with a wild throw. Rizzuto scooted home and Woodling it ok second. McDougald's single left brought in Woodling.
Stengel batting order switch paid dividends. Bauer, leading off, was on base three times dropped from leadoff to the No. 5 spot where sluggers hit, came through with a douule and scored twice. With the biggest player pool in history at stake, the going might get a little rugged in he next few games. The winners will slice up $233,436.20 the loser $156,957.46.
The series already is in the million dollar class with total receipts of $1,099,141.92, counting the cash paid by yesterday's crowd of 49,010 fans. That does not include the $1,000,000 plus from TV and radio.

Middlecoff Ties With Ford, Douglas at Kaycee Kansas City, (UP) Two players who rarely win golfing distinction and another who seldom misses it, clash over the 18-hole playoff distance today for the Kansas City open championship. Agains the veteran Dr. Cary Middlecoff of Memphis, the nation's no. 3 money winner, were 28-year-old Doug Ford of Harrison; N.Y., a newcomer to pro golf, and Dave Douglas, lanky Newark, vet of 13 years in the pro ranks.
All three finished in a deadlock here yesterday with 72-hole totals of 278, fen under par. All Up in the AHS May Be Headed for Unscored-On Year It's not only going to be hard for any team to beat Athens this season, but it will be exceedingly difficult for a team to score on them. Sayre teams have always been noted for wide-open, sudden, explosive attacks, but what the large Athens defense did to the Redskin offense last Friday night is right sickening for Sayre fans to keep in their file of memories. The Bulldog behemoths not only throttled the Sayre play-making, they shoved it into reverse. Athens is never higher than when it plays Sayre, and though the Athenians were played on almost even terms for two periods by a spunky, little Sayre team, the superior power of the Blue and White rose up and squashed any hopes that Sayre had of being the first to cross Athens' goal, and then methodically wore the Redskins down with a crunching, meat-grinder attack of their own.
New Y4rk (AP) Now that Rogers ijurnsby has been cnos en to lead the St. Louis Browns out of the wilderness, thirteen of the 16 Major League jobs are set for next year. Thp unspttlpri hnps are the Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardi nals ana Jr'ittsDurgn riraies. ui these, the only good bet for a change is at Boston.
Steve O'Neill is reported on his way out as manager of the Red Sox, to be replaced by Lou Boudreau, the former Cleveland pilot who now is a Boston in-fielder, or Pinky Higgins, Louisville manager. Billy Meyer is said to have a 60-40 chance of returning to Pittsburgh and there's a good chance popular -Marty Marion will be given another try with the Cardinals, who finished fast. Two managing situations, those of the St. Louis Browns and New York Yankees, were clarified yesterday and a third the day before. Wily Casey Stengel, who has won three straight pennants and is going on his third World Series, denied a report that he planned to step out of a contract that has another year to run and turn the Yankee reins over to one of his coaches, Frank Crosetti.
Brooklyn's Charley Dressen, who saw his team dissipate a 13 1-2 game lead in the final weeks of the campaign, was given assurances over the week-end' that his job is safe for 1952, DiMag, Ruth OnlyMen To Play in 10 Series New York, (AP) Joe DiMaggio and the late Babe Ruth are the only men in baseball ever to play in ten World Series. Today "Di Mag" will tie Fran-kie Frisch's record of having competed in the most World Ser-. ies games 50. And with the series bound to go at least one more game he is certain; barring accident, to beat that record tomorow. DiMaggio, who has hit only .125 in the first four games of the 1951 series, knocked his eighth world series homer yesterday.

Air Over Play By, Walt Ditzen 'Ji Looking at the remainder of the Bulldogs' schedule, it seems highly unlikely that any team can Icore on them before Waverly meets them Nov. 10. between opponents are Canton, Owego, Watkins Glen and Troy. None of thes.9 looks capable of doing the trick, but Waverly is big enough and has' a diversified attack that could spoil Athens' record on the last day of the season.
Canton very much would like to do it of course, as Bob Bowman, who played under Coach John Childs when the latter was assistant at Sayre, is still the line coach at Canton High. Canton has won three and lost one. It may be a breather and it may not for Athens. But one thing is sure. Sayre still isn't breathing easily.
The Redskins have to prepare now to meet Waverly, and then think of the trip to Jersey Shore. Coach John Ksionzyk's broad shoulders are sagging a little. New York, (AP) Joe DiMag gio's revival aroused New York Yankee hopes today as lefty Ed Lopat (21-9) laced the Giants' Larry Jansen (23-11) in the fifth World Series game at the x'olo Grounds. All square with two wins each after Allie Reynolds' 6-2 con-juest of the Giants' Sal Maglie yesterday, the clubs were ready tor a rematch of Friday's duel. DiMaggio, swinging from a new stance after three hitless games, renewed the pride of the Yanks with his two-run homer and single off Maglie.
For the first time in weeks, the Yanks hit like the club that fought off Cleveland and Boston to win the American league pennant. And they did it against the Giants' best. Public sympathy rained on the 36-year-old DiMaggio in the first three games of his lOlh and probably fast series. He didn't have a hit. hit a ball hard in 11 trips.
You noted the difference the first time he faced Maglie. First a curved strike. Then three balls. A vicious foul liner off the linnpr rlprk that missprt hpins a homer by four feet. Another foul liner.
And three more fouls, before he looked too long at a curved third strike. Alter the game and his 330-foot homer with Yogi Berra on base in the fifth, he said "liked" that first foul liner best of all. It was the first hint that the jolter was back on the beam. It is difficult to overestimate the emotional lift DiMaggio can give the Yanks. Or vice versa.
With "the big fellow" slashing, slumping Berra- started to hit the ball on the" nose. Yogi hammered two liners at outfielders before he got his lone hit. Bobby Brown came up with two hits and Hank Bauer broke his hitless slump, even though one was a drive fhat hit base runner Gil McDougald for an automatic hit and automatic out. With this solid backing of 12 hits, Reynolds was a different pitcher from the fellow who lost the opening game. The sturdy Indian from Oklahoma had a zinging fast ball and sharp curve that piled up seven strikeouts.
Twice he simply blew the ball past- a wildly-waving Wes Westrum. Al Dark, who hit him for a three-run homer in the opener, elammed three successive dou bles to left field. The first meant a run when Monte Irvin poked a single to left. But the others meant only men left on base. Allie had a rocky ninth that prompted Manager Casey Sten- gel to start Johnny Sain and Bob Kuzava throwing hard in tne bullpen.
A walk to Hank Thompson, Irvin's ninth hit of the series and Bobby Thomson's single produced a run. Then Willie Mays zapped into ww IJliig A record he would like to forget. Reynolds was home free. The Lopat-Jansen battle in the fifth game shapes up as the best of the series. Although steady Eddie beat Jansen, 3-1, in the second game, Larry retired 13 men in succession after early Inning trouble.
And the Yanks' chunky "nothing ball" pitcher gave up only five hits. THB WINNEB of today's game will be in the driver's seat. If the Yanks win, Stengel could gamble on his sixth pame with Tom Morgan or Johnny Sain and still have Vic Raschi and Reynolds for the seventh. If the Giants win, Leo Durocher can try to get home with Dave Koslo again and save up Jim Hearn and Maglie for the finale. Maglie worked only five innings yesterday and should be ready if needed for a seventh game.
The Barber didn't have his stuff in his first series appearance. He threw 23 pitches in the first inning although the Yanks had only one baserunner. Gene Woodling, batting fifth in tne revised Yank order, open ed the second with a blooper aouDie to lelt. Mays raced deep for Bobbv Brown's long drive that he drop- pea alter making a fall ing catch. The catch was ruled good because he had possession oi tne can.
Joe Collins singled home Woodling to tie it up. Reynolds broke the tie in the fourth with a single Brown singled and Collins walked. The FAN FARE 90 you REAP IhS ON RAT OC Tm6 SC02E I Sayre's entry into the Roosevelt Trail basketball league did not come as a surprise, as Sayre has been angling for a spot in the league for some time. Sayre's application was flatly turned down several times and its acceptance this year comes as good news to the shoptown school officials, who have found it increasingly hard to complete a basketball schedule. Being a member of a league will automatically take care of half of Sayre's games the important Friday night engagements, anyway.
IBC Now Under Scrutiny of Grand Jury New York, (AP) The Inter national Boxing Club, promoter of virtually every championship fight in the country since the de mise of the 20th century sport ing club, was under the scrutiny of a federal grand jury today. Jim Norris, I. B. C. President, who was threatened with a con gressional investigation only two months ago, said he was not worried.
At the tirrte he found out about the proposed investigation, Nouns said he knew questions had been asked, but that no one had "bothered to ask us any questions." "My door is open all the time," he added." "As far as monopoly or conflict witn antitrust laws is concerned, we are advised by our attorneys we are absolutely in the clear. We must operate under the laws of the state in which we are incorporated." "That statement still goes," said Norris when asked if he had anything to add. The nationwide investigation of the game was directed by U. S. Attorney General Howard McGrath.
Although it did" not mention the I. B. C. by name, obviously it was aimed at the gigantic corporation which reputedly does $14,000,000 yearly business exclusive of radio, television and movies here and in Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis.
The inquiry was started McGrath after the department of justice had, made a' study of the situation following numerous complaints. It will look into ar- laiigeiiieilta and leases fur Uua- iing in Madison Square Garden and will decide if some boxers are chattels of the I. B. C. There have been rumors and accusations that boxers not 'un: der contract to the I.
B. C. have had trouble getting fights. Sen. Herman Wglker (R), Idaho, has charged that the I.
B. C. operates a monopoly in that it is a closed business which governs and controls professional boxing in almost every major city in the United States. The probe here is under the direction of Melville C. Williams, head of the Anti-Trust Division in New York.
Operating under the direction of McGarth, Williams 'today called middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson along with his manager, George Gainford, as witnesses. Among the first questions they will be asked is wiiether they have signed an exclusive contract with the I. B. which makes it a practice to sign champions exclusively wherever possible. All major boxing outfits through the years have done this.

The complete control of rights to broadcast and telecast home games was returned to the in dividual clubs subject only the rights of visiting teams. The, restrictive rule provided that no major leagucclub could authorize broadcast or telecasts from a station located within the home territory of other major or minor- league clubs during the time that club playing at home, except with the specific consent of the club. "Now we will find out how much they can hurt us," said George M. Trautman, 'President of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (Minors). "This means that each major league team can come into our territory and there's nothing we can do about it." rwiir rtnwu rn uii nPFmrw have no knowledge of ulial uciil on in umj closed session at the RTL when Sayre was voted into the league for a three-year term just like a congressman and when it was, then received the extra blessing of the all-star game.
We are quits sure that Mansfield, which Sayre replaced, did not have a team which would end three years hence. This seemingly probationary period for the Redskins, it appears here, is to find out if Sayre is going to run away with the league, and when they find out, then the rest of the circuit's members have the option of continuing Sayre's lease when the three years are up. Sayre often has received the credit, or the blame, of breaking up the old SVIAA league, by simply committing the crime of winning a majority of its games. However, there is nothing to fear on that score anymore. Those tempestuous days are gone forever, and Sayre basketball is in such a halcyon state of deep repose that it'll take at least those three years to re-awaken.
Besides, the size of a school's enrollment or the quantity and quality of its athletes have little to do any more witli the size of the town it represents in these days of centralization. The one-room, little red school-house is gone, and it's about time people stopped thinking on those terms.
