By Robert Morrison Of the Post-Dispatch Sports Staff. NEW YORK, Oct 11 The Army mule was frequently back on its haunches today as Illinois, showing more sustained offensive power, set out to destroy the final vestige of West Point's wartime football prestige.

But as mule-skinners, the fighting Illini lacked the final deft swipe of the scalpel that would have ended Army's string of un-defated games, and another scoreless tie went into that record of 31 straight contests along with the fruitless Notre Dame battle of a year ago. T. minor had an edge over Army scoreless tie in Yankee Stadium, New York, yesterday, but couldn't put over the convincer. At a si. uouis ooy, siaris arouna ngnt ena alter receiving JR.

Army demonstrated its powerful defense against running and in the head-cracking battle of ground plays, Army finally banaged statistical superiority. But there was no strategic air force to help the soldiers along, and in that department lllinois's Perry Moss might have made the difference Tt, nfr As stoicaI as a Faul hristman and 3ust about 88 accurate, the Illini quarterback's pass-throwing made the Big Nine champions a of the game. But when the pay- off was neared, things went wrong. Mistakes, Mistakes. Fumbles, bad pass catching, refusal by Moss to try for a field goal early in the game when a great opportunity was at hand, all worked against the invading Rose Bowl champions who were favorites in this most important inter-sectional football game to be held this year in New York.

Illinois twice marched to. the Army seven-yard line in the first half, drove mightily to the Army 36, 17, 28 and then the 38-yard line in the second half to bring chills and thrills to an estimated 65,000 In Yankee Stadium. Army never got inside lllinois's 20-yard line, and it was seldom that their partisans who were in the majority here this sunlit October afternoon had much to yell about. Once in the third quarter the Cadets managed to put a string of three first downs together. It was as if they had suddenly become fired with a new ambition.

But a fumble by John Shelley cooled them off. Perhaps the most astonishing performer on the team that now must get along without Davis and Blanchard and a wealth of wartime material was a kicker named Eddie Gradoville. who last Thursday was promoted from the squad to partake in this affair. Not even listed in the program, the unknown Nebraska boy kept Army in the game with punting that gave the Cadets an eight-yard Sporis diio of TH POST- DlfPATCff By Special Correspondent of the I'ost-Dispatch.

One of the first developments came when Lou Agase, brother of lllinois's 1946 All-American guard Alex, intercepted an Army pass on the Cadet 40 and returned to the 23. Illinois Drive Falls. A 13-yard Moss pass to Ikfl Owens and Russ Sieger1 line-bucking which was great ami crashing throughout the game, helped carry to the Army seven. On fourth down the set-up was there for an easy field goal, but Moss called and threw a pass. It was incomplete and Army took over.

Again in the secqpd period Illinois marched to the Cadet seven-yard line. Two short passes by Moss and fancy stepping by Centralia's Dike Eddleman helped carry to the Army 24. Only 20 seconds remained in the half and it was time for quick thinking. President Truman Invited to See Missouri ayJ WASHINGTON. Oct.

Action between the 20-yard lines, shifting the balance of power continually, made the game more exciting than the usual scoreless tl. It's now a standoff between Illinois and Army. Each has beaten the other twice, and now this.

Oct.

11 (AP) Fullback Lory Plate ran wild in the first half tonight to pace Marquette to a 41-18 victory of Detroit before 17,000 fans at Hilltop Stadium. Plate's feats, which included three touchdowns, one on a 60- ard sprint with an intercepted pass in tne second quarter, were almost eclipsed by little Joe Ga-Rllardo, who ran 95 yards through the entire Detroit team in the. third period after catching a punt on his own five-yard line. The Hilltoppers, ndlohing their third victory of the year, scored in every quarter to overwhelm the heavier Titans, previously beaten only by Oklahoma, 24 to 20, in three starts.

With the game slowed by a drizzle that lasted through the first five minutes, neither team was able to set up any threat in the first quarter. But in the minute of the second period a recovered fumble gave Bus Ents-minger a chance to break away over left tackle, cut back and score untouched after a 47-yard romp. Colorado dominated play the rest of the way in the second quarter but couldn't score and Don Faurot's Missourians rolled again early in the third after Bill Day was roughed on one of his many long punts, and the Tigers got the ball back on their own 25. From there they churned to a score in 13 plays, with Ed Quirk taking it the last two feet. Dick Braznell and Howard Bonnett highlighted this drive with some hard running and Entsminger tossed one fine pass to Mel Shee-han.

Bonnett set up the final score in the last minute when he inter cepted a desperate pass by Tex Reilly and fousht his way back 22 yards to the Colorado 36. On the first play Entsminger tossed a pass to Nick Carras, who took it on the run in the end zone. Bob Dawson made place kicks for all the conversions. Colorado made 13 first, downs to 9 for Missouri, rushing for a net of 115 to the Tigers' 193 and passed for 82 while the invaders were making 102 through the air. Except for Day's fancy punting, the first quarter was dull stuff in a drizzle with neither side getting close to a counter, although Don Evans of Colorado passed to Walt Koebel for 22 and a first down on the Buffs' own 40 as the quarter enddd.

lne picture changed with a bang in the first minute of the second quarter when Malcolm Mil ler dropped the ball and Bob West pounced on it for Missouri on the Colorado 49. A buck yielded 2 before Entsminger broke away for his stylish scoring tour.

It didn't take him long to make things hum at Yankee Stadium." We'll all miss MacPhail.

Nobody knows for how long. But when he comes back, he'll be welcomed widely. He's a pleasant guy to fight with, and he his best friends. Four-Club 1948 Race Likely in National. IT'S going to be tougher than ever to pick the winner when the National League clubs swing into action next season.

The Dodgers wont run away with the 1948 pennant. In fact, there's no runaway club in prospect. But there are four clubs certain to be contenders and the pennant may be won this winter. If the Giants can build a pitching staff. Mel Ott could be the National League manager in the 1948 world series.

The club has tremendous batting power, even allowing for a drop in the home-run output, which in 1947 was record breaking. Boston's Braves, with added pitching strength, could be the winner, too. Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain are a great nucleus for a staff. Good years by Red Barrett and Bill Voiselle would make the Braves hard to beat. Billy Southwoith is the best manager we're ever known at getting his athletes into condition in sprng training, which makes for the best possible start.

Branch Rickey will be searching all winter for pitchers to strengthen a staff that was wobbly at season's end. The Dodgers also insist that they have strengthening replacements oie to report from farms next spring. Cards Must Strengthen To Be in Race for Flag. EDDIE DYER of the Cardinals has sharply defined problems. He must find a first baseman to permit Stan Musial to move back to the outfield, or a fly-chaser with batting power and defensive skill to patrol right field.

Terry Moore was in a surprisingly large number of games this year. But he's nearing the end of the trail. Soon the Cardinals must have a center fielder. We don't think Musial can play center in the Moore manner. It may be Erv Dusak.

He has the speed and the arm, but it will take a long time to make fans forget great Moore catches. Dyer also must fortify his pitchnig staff, although the return to form of one man, Howard Pollet, would make a tremendous difference. It is conceded generally, too, that the catching was too far on the inadequate side last season. On the American League side, the Browns have big problems. They, too, must find a first baseman and probably two catchers.

After a bad season at the gate and on the field, there probably will be a house-cleaning. New faces are needed and inasmuch as Toledo and San Antonio haven't much to offer in the way of help, trades seem to be the only answer. And Bill DeWitt probably will have to part with some still valuable material, to make changes that are so gjtegjjaaijv rr VP "1 Football Scores LOCAL. Washington 30, Oberlin 7.

THAT Yankee victory dinner, at the Biltmore Hotel in New York, was one of the biggest flopperoos ever tossed after a bnseball club won a world's championship. Champagne flowed like ink out of a Parker 51 fountain pen and even when John McDonald was popped by Larry MacPhail, it happened in a wash room, so it constituted no entertainment for the gathering. McDonald, a minute after taking the jab to the left eye, entered the ball room and sat down at a table near us. "That so-and-so MacPhail," McDonald complained. "Whenever he pops anybody a couple of goons are near to prevent him from getting popped back." McDonald went looking for ice or a piece of raw beef-steak and MacPhail entered a few minutes later.

In another few minutes Dan Topping, Del Webb and three or four men who looked like body guards entered the ball room. Topping was hot under the collar and was trying to make his way to MacPhail's table. The men who looked like body guards, aided by Red Patterson, in charge of public relations, and in this case helping with private relations, were restraining Topping. Dan almost broke away a couple of times, but finally was led out of the room. Early in the "victory dinner," the Yankee players, MacPhail, Yankee officials and extra-special guests, transferred their party to a side room.

It was necessary to pass through the side room to get to the telephone and there was no little hilarity in that private or executive chamber phase of the victory dinner, either. The main ball room, about the size of the Gold Room at the Jefferson, was crowded with tables, but only three or four tables were in use. It was a silent, sparsely attended victory celebration pnr-ty. The Browns made more whoopee after losing the 1944 world series than the Yankees made after beating the Dodgers. If Larry Was Pushed, It Was a Rich Cash Push.

THE presbox consensus was that a combination of factors influenced MacPhail to announce his retirement, the biggest being about $2,000,000. Most observers believed that MacPhail's rows with Happy Chandler were an influence. One thumbnail of the situation was that MacPhail never tfas able to get along with any associates for more than a couple of years, and that it was a case of you sell out or we'll get out. And Topping and Webb had the dough. Despite all of Larry's faults, including a cantankerous disposition and a tendency to berate his best friends, he must be recognized as a faTbulous character, in or out of baseball.

He rejuvenated the Cincinnati Reds, on the. field and at the box office. He built a pennant winner at Redland Field. MacPhail did the same thing at Brooklyn, making the Dodgoj franchise The Crimson and Gold home forces were no match for the shifty Bears, who rolled up yardage with smooth ball handling and peed afoot. Washington was led by Henry Chrlstmann, who scored the first two touchdowns, and Henry Schoknecht, whose accurate kicking toe produced five points after touchdowns.

Charles Eberle, former cadet at Western Military Academy, scored a third-period six-pointer and Dave Fowler and Charlie Winner went over for the Bears in the final period, the latter on a pass from Ralph Stocker. Washington tallied in each quarter. 61-Yard March. Just alter the start, Weeb Ew-bank's men marched 61 yards for the first touchdow-n. Bill Ger-strung chipped in with a 15-yard gain, then slashed off tackle for a 25-yatH advance to the Oberlin 10, from whwre Chrlstmann crashed over in two plays.

Later in the fiit quarter the Bears held for dowis when Oberlin had a first down on the Washington seven-yard line, but after advancing to their 35, the Bears hud a kicked blocked, then fumbled to give Oberlin its scoring opening. Addison of Oberlin blocked Gerstrung's punt, with the ball on Washington's 35. Ger-trung ran back and picked up the pigskin on the 5-yard stripe, but fumbled and there was Addi- mon again, recovering for the Yeo- nen only three yards from home. Johnson went over left tackle for the touchdown and Addison kicked the point to tie the score, 7-7. This was just a sign for more Intensified play on the Bears, how ever.

After a punting exchange, Jim Greig opened the dopr for the Hilltoppers by intercepting Johnson's pass on the Oberlin 25 and running to the one-yard line. Chrlstmann again plunged for the pcore, Schoknecht again converted and the eBars were in front to stay. There was a 68-yard drive for he only score of the third qulr-ter. with Bob Buhrmaster and Fowler doir.g most of the ball-tot-in jr. although Christmann also made two big gains to start the advance.

Eberle. finally went over from the three-yard line. Greig, the pass-intercepter. turned his talents toward recovering fumbles in the fourth quarter to set up touchdown No. 4.

Conover fumbled for the Yeomen on the Oberlin 25 and Greig fell on the ball for the Bears. On the first play Fowler streaked down the sideline for a score. Washington started from its 23 on the final drive. Stocker's passes to Jim Bennett accounted for two first downs and later Winner caught the payoff toss. Schnoknecht was just as good toward the finish with conversions as at the start He never missed.

Bears 'B' Team Wins. Like varsity like frosh, the Bear 'B'' squad defeated the Southern Illinois (Carbondale) junior varsity 20 to 0 yesterday at Francis Field. Earl Samuel, joe Glik and John Blair scored for the Bears. Moss delivered by calling on St. Louis's Steger to make a great center run against a pass defense which Army had' put up to stop the Moss aerial gains.

Steger was downed on the seven and with 10 seconds to go, Don Maechtle tried a 15-yard field goal. But Tom Gallagher fumbled in holding the ball for the place kick and it went wide and low. Those were the nearest misses. With a little pass catching to match his pass throwing. Moss might have made it in the third quarter by the air He mixed his passes with Steger's running to move Illinois from its own 40 to trie Army 34, first and 10.

Then he tried another to his favorite catcher, Sammy Katkoff, but Sammy missed for once, dropping the ball that would have been a sure first down on the Army 30. The same luck continued when Eddleman gathered in a Moss pass on the Army 17, turned to run some more, and dropped the ball when hit. Army quarterback Bill Gustaf- son recovered to end that threat, and that was about tne Story. Rip Rowan was no Blanchard. Bobby Jack Stuart was no Davis.

Army is what everyone expected, but it Isn't the collossus anymore. If Illinois couldn't do it, Notre Dame might. Or even Penn perhaps. Illinois' Moss, brother to the Browns catcher Les Moss, could have used a bit of his brother's catching. If it's a choice between the two former Tulsa stars Army's Stuart or Illinois' Moss most any coach would take Moss.

Army's master. Earl Blaik, could use his pigskin tossing. The show of the year to New York had the Cadet corps of 2200 entertaining with their formation drills. But Illinois' 185- MISSOURI Pns. C0L0RAOO Oak as L.
