Gone from the Iowa field were the ineffective tactics of other days.

Grinnell's Little Pioneers showed Roosevelt a tricky offense built around deceptive spinners here. Saturday night to turn back the Roughridcrs, 12 to 7, before a small crowd of 1,000 persons in the Drake stadium. The over-anxious, fast charging Roosevelt linemen, still inexperienced, were mouse-trapped frequently with disasterous results. Grinnell's backs, their timing nearly perfect, played this advantage to the hilt to reel off Riders Continued on Page Nine. vv: Dowling High Upsets North By 7 6 Score By Frank Miles, jr.

A fighting Dowling High football team tripped North High's 1938 city champions, 7 to 6 at Dowling field Saturday afternoon to end a two-year reign of city supremacy held by the Pink and Green. Dowling found weakness in the center of the North line and, with Tony Porto and Bob Triplett carrying the ball, started making long gains through that spot almost from the opening kickoff. Start Drive. With North unable to advance through the Dowling forwards, the Maroons had things their own way throughout the first period and a drive which started at' midfield carried the ball to the Polar Bears' 3-yard line at the end of the first quarter. A fumble by Triplett recovered by Albright, North quarterback-halted the advance of the Dowling eleven and Beasley, North halfback, punted out of danger.

A kicking duel between Porto and Beasley ended with Dowling in possession of the ball on the North 35-yard line. Dowling Scores. Triplett crashed through center for a 15-yard gain on the next play and Porto's pass to Triplett at the goalline gave Dowling its score. L. Hart, giant tackle, booted the extra point.

North tried to connect with passes throughout the remainder of the half but could not shake a receiver loose and went into the rest period trailing 7 to 0.

Notre Dame's Fighting Irish launched their gridiron season by eking out a 3 to 0 triumph here Saturday afternoon over a burly Purdue team which was a bulwark on defense but ragged and impotent in the ground-gaining department. From the toe of John Charles Kelleher, 21-year-old quarterback, came the victory. It was fourth down on the Boilermaker 9-yard line when the Lorain, Ohio, senior entered the game. Kelleher, who has struggled along as a fifth or sixth-string quarterback for two years, booted one Just inside the goal-posts that did the business. Purdue might figure reasonably that it lost the game by a couple of Inches because It was by just about that margin that Mike Byeiene, fleet Boilermaker back, failed to break Into a clear field on a run that started from his own 20 In the fourth period, As it was.

Milton Piepul, Notre Dame fullback, dragged him down from behind on the Purdue 40 and Byeiene slammed the ball down in disgust. The Boilermakers followed up the threat with two 10-yard Although it had been ru mored here for days that the Fordham Flash was to succeed Traynor, who resigned Thursday, Benswanger said the deal was not closed until noon Saturday by telephone. Frisoh will lgn a contract In New York, probably Tuesday, when he will meet Benswanger Cd Traynor at the draft meet-r preceding the opening of the rid series Wednesday, the rate president added. Traynor resigned, he said, because of the "low position" of the aixth-nlace Pirates, a traditional first-division club, which this year experienced lta poorest season alnce 1917. Benswanger said Frisch was his first choice for the job, but that he was nnable to disclose this earlier because he and Frisch could not agree on the length of the contract.

In line with Pirate policy, the terms were not disclosed. Previously, the Pittsburgh club has signed its managers on a year-to-year basis. Thus the agreement to sign the two-year contract was a compromise, since Frisch was reported to have been holding out for a three-year term of job security. Others Considered. Benswanger said three other managers had been considered, one of them now in the major leagues and two in the minors, but h.

did not name them. The major leaguer was presumed to be Jimmy Wilson, former manager of the Philadelphia Phillies and Frank Frisch Clones Deal Saturday, now coach of the pennant-winning Cincinnati Reds. "Frisch is not signed even now. He has merely accepted terms," Benswanger said. Demands $27,000.

Frisch, it was reported, demanded an annual salary of $27,000 but the Pittsburgh club generally doesn't pay that kind of money. Traynor was understood to have received about 115,000 a year. A star thirdbaseman on the Pirates he had been manager since 1931. Frisch, often called the "Ford- ham Flash" because he starred in basketball, baseball and football at rordftam university, is 41, a year and two months older than Traynor He was born in New York City.
