MILLER HARRIES OWLS During the rest of the game, Kansas, sparked by a deadeye forward passer, Ralph Miller, held complete command and might have maie it a bit too hot for comfort except for two splendid goal-line stands by the Owls. In scoring their touchdowns the Templars made uninterrupted marches of 40, 50, 45, 65 and 45 yards. Mixing fast running plays stabs at the line by Sutch and dashes around the end by Tomasic with a snappy pass now and then, they ate up the yard3 with relentless power. GOOD PASSING ATTACK The Kansas attack and it functioned in full flower only when the Temple first team was on the bench was strictly a forward passing offense. The Jay hawks completed 15 out of 28 for 199 yards.

Miller, who throws underhand passes from his hip, made a perfect shovel heave to Don Pollom for the only Kansas touchdown. The Westerners' other two points were the result of an automatic safety in the fourth period. Tomasic attempted to punt ftom behind his own goal line and the ball was blocked. It went up In the air behind the goal, and before it touched the ground Tomasic batted it forward. Altnough a Temple man recovered on the two-yard line, the officials ruled Tomasic's foul constituted an automatic safety.

DUBIOUS STRATEGY The Kansans operated from what Coach Gwyn Henry called a spinner wing it looked like a 4T" with Miller taking the ball direct from centre at least half of the time. The Owls also put their quarterback behind ihe centre, but he usually shifted and the pass went direct to the back. Temple with the second team in the game, attempted three passes from behind its own goal line, a bit of strategy that caused a lifting of eyebrows. In the final moments of the game the entire team was caught flatf ooted as the Westerners pulled the old sleeper pass play and got away with It. The end, who dropped out along the sidelines, caught a long pass and was almost off for a touchdown, but run was ruined because a Jay-hawk player was offside.

In the matter of first downs Kansas had the edge, 16 to 13. but it didn't add up in points. The visitors have never won a game in seven tries in the East and have dropped three to Philadelphia teams. The Owls were able to make good on only one try for the extra point, and while it cut no ice last night, it will be a serious fault some fine afternoon unless Coach Ray Morrison digs up a kicker.

By EDWARD J. KLEIN With only three first-stringers back from the all-winning eleven that swept to the city championship last fall, Frankford High's football forces thundered to a 21-0 victory over Central High yesterday in a non-conference clash, season's opener for both schools, before 2500 at STATE Memorial Stadium. Yanks Win Pair, Two Hurlers Star 6-20 26-19 6-0 6-13 Captain Hugh Jeffers, Southeast Catholic's hard running halfback, was the of a furious fourth-period attack as the Pirates powerhoused their way to a 26-7 triumph over St. Thomas More in the season's Catholic League football opener under the Municipal Stadium arc lights last night. The Bears' lightning thrust In the opening minutes of the game, netting a score on two forward passes, proved futile in the face of Jeffers' driving in the final session.

For two periods after the opening tally the Pirates hammered at the. Bears' goal lo little avail. Late in the second session they managed to score, but still trailed, 7-6. PIRATES SCORE However, the steady pounding bore fruit in the final quarter when the Pirates crashed over for three touchdowns and added two more points on a safety, -the result of a blocked kick by Substitute End Joe Gleave. Jeffers engineered two of the six-pointers and was a big factor in the other two, both tallied by Bob Orls-taglio.

St. Thomas More registered its touchdown on an aerial attack, with Jake Welding tossing a 24-yard heave to Al Mascioli. Welding's placement earned the extra point. The Bears traveled 54 yards for the opening touchdown, 50 yards through the air. FAST RUNNING.

ATTACK The Pirates utilized a fast running attack to push across their touchdowns. In the second session they drove 33 yards to the end zone, while the final-period thrusts covered 54, 41 and 23 yards. One aerial was good for 2.1 yards, from OrLstagllo to Jeffers on the four-yard line; another was good forll yards to the one-yard stripe in the second quarter. Southeast Catholic drove to 16 first downs, the Bears to only two, one the result of a penalty. St.

However, a few moments of study turns up the fact that tomorrow's rollrge program is one that can't be ignored. The schedule-makers who used to let the football forecasters warm up to their work gradually have got completely off that beam, nd there are games on tap within the next 24 hours that would do jus-tire to late-November, let alone September. Overshadowing them all is the debut of Minnesota. No. 1 team In the land a year ago and reputedly if not more so.

The Gophers open against Washington, and may happen, especially on the Huskies' home grounds. With only the East lagging behind in games of major caliber, the Mid-West will take the attendance prize, with 70.000 due at Ann 'Arbor to see 3Iarmon-less Michigan play Michigan State; the South will offer a double-barreled intersectlonal attraction, with Boston College meeting Tulane and Holy Cross tackling Louisiana State, and the Southwest Conference will send its prime favorite.

This was hardly startling information for the roomful of reporters who gathered at Durocher's lavish suite in a midtown hotel, but the dapper, talkative skipper of the new National League champions, went on from there.

GANG CONFIDENT "My gang is confident," he vouched. "I know they're not afraid of 'em. I won't make a prediction who will win. The only thing I know for sure Is that the first game will start at 1.30 Wednesday in Yankee Stadium and we'll be there. But you can bet your life it will be a hell of a battle.

"They talk about 'you can't make a mistake against the Yanks or they'll blow your brains Well. I'll say this. They better not make a mistake against us, either. We've got power, too. They better not groove one for Lavagetto, or Camllli, or Medwick, or Reiser." Durocher refused to be drawn into an outright statement that Wyatt, his benign, baldish pitching ace, would be his first choice, but retorted with obvious intent: "Who would you pick?" WHIT WYATT OKAY Then in a discussion of his pitchers' chances, he added: "I'm not worried about Wyatt.

Spud Chandler and Marius Russo showed they are ready for the Dodgers today by pitching three-hitters as the Yankees whipped the Washington Senators 4-1 and 1-0 and hung up a new American League record for doubleplays. Chandler turned in his masterful performance in the first game for his 10th victory of the year. The American League champs got only six hits off Ken Chase but they coupled Gerald Priddy's double with a walk to score one run in the second, another single by Priddy with a base on balls and a wild pitch to count in the seventh and singles by Tommy Henrlch and Joe DiMagg'o with a walk and infield out for their last two tallies In the eighth. Phil Rizzuto's first inning homer provided Russo with his margin over young Early Wynn in the second. The victory was Russo's 14th.

The Eagles have shown a lamentable lack of scoring punch this having tallied only one touchdown, although they have had almost a dozen cracks from within the 15-yard stripe in two games.

Close behind Byrd and Heafner were the current Open champion, Craig Wood, of Marmaroneck, and the 1936 Open king, Tony Manero, of Salem, deadlocked at 68. Lawson Little, of San Francisco; Louis Barbaro, of Marmaroneck; Gene Sarazen, of Brookfleld Center, and Ky Laffoon, of Miami, were tied at 69. PITTSBURGH, Sept, 26 (A. Duquesne University's Dukes gave their departing coach, Aldo (Buff) Donelli, a fitting farewell party tonight, romping to a 33 to 0 triumph over Niagara University for the largest score they have amassed in any game since he became bass back in 1939. Donelli resigned a few hours before the game after Elmer Layden, High Commissioner of Pro Football, ruled he couldn't become coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers if he also held the college job.

Mrs. Harrison Flippin, Huntingdon Valley star, finished in a tie with Dorothy Germain, Llanerch, for the Nancy Wilbur Cup as 150 women golfers competed yesterday in the annual tournament at the St. Davids Golf Club. Mrs. Flippin had a card of 42-39 81 for her 18 holes while Miss Germain toured the course for the same aggregate her opening round being 39 and her second, 42.

Flippin. On Monday in a deadlock with Mrs. Ralph Seltzer, Country Club, for the Vander-beck Cup, only to lose it in the playoff on Thursday. Miss Germain, a comparative youngster of the links, was off to a good start yesterday, but faded badly on the back nine. She finished strong, however, with a bird and par for the tying score.

The Llanerch girl did well two weeks ago, her first bid for the women's National crown, and last spring became the only girl ever to win the Philadelphia Junior Girls' title three successive years. Mrs. Flippin garnered two birds on pointers on their new style of play, watched the Bluffites pass for their first score, then run through the invaders for the other four. As a result, Donelli leaves with a brilliant record of 17 victories, one tie and only one loss during his brief regime at the university. Duquesne notched 1 1 first downs to 6, netting 230 yards rushing to minus 13 and 420 from all sources to 144.
