Continued on Tage 15, Column 5 Allentown Jars Southern, 26-7 By KEV HAY Inquirer Sports Reporter ALLENTOWN, Sept. 20. Elmo (Bill) Jackson proved just as elusive as he was a year ago and Bobby Kurtz added some adept passes as Philadelphia Southern High School's football team, city titlist, bowed to Allentown High School's veteran Big 15 championship, 26-7, in Coffield Stadium to night before 11,000.

The Canaries, displaying a team that most fans believe the class of the State, fought against a stubborn Southern team in a tense first half, but rammed across two touchdowns. Southern came back in the third period on the impetus of an 82-yard sprint by Anthony (Reds) Coletta to score, but the Rams were riddled in a fast-moving final period that saw Allentown score twice more. JACKSON ACE Jackson. went over from the two- yard line near the end of the first period. He set the stage for the game's second touchdown near half time when the new National Federation substitute rule met the dis pleasure of the fans.

The score came on a three-yard pass from Kurtz to Len Slider. The new rule, as explained by Dr. Frank P. Maguire, one of the officials and P. I.

A. A. football commissioner, allows substitutions at any time without stopping the clock. If the player does not leave the field in time after the ball is passed, the ball Is declared dead. Joe Pitt, Southern coach, did this three times, but the third time the player was off the field over the end line and the touchdown counted.

Twice before touchdowns were recalled. Southern's only piece of real football engineering came in the third period, when Coletta ran 82 yards to set the stage for a touchdown. In the final period, Allentown registered twice. Montz hit left tackle for the final yard In a 53-yard drive while an attempted punt by John Phillips was blocked by Roger Williams and the latter picked up the ball to gallop 35 yards and score. During the final period action that saw penalties inflicted numerous times.

Southern's George Palilonis. center, was injured. He was taken to the Allentown hospital immediately after the game for observation. Villanova will face U. S.

Military Academy, unbeaten National champion of 1944 and 1945. Still operating with All-Americans Felix (Doc) Blanchard and Glenn Davis in the backfield. Army is a heavy favorite to open its season with a victory. Villanova, however, will present a much more formidable team than the ones the Cadets thumped during the past two years. In opening last week with a 40-6 triumph over U.

S. Merchant Marine Academy, the Wildcats revealed a strong line, fleet backs and the ability to score from any part of the field. LINEUP INTACT Following today's practice, witnessed by the bulk of 700 home town ollowers. Coach Jordan Olivar announced his starting team would include the men who were in for the kickoff against the Merchant Marines. The Villanova lineup will be composed of Bill Sullivan and Frank Kane, ends; Game Captain Lou Ferry and Mel Downey, tackles; Tom Smith and Al Barker, guards; Sylvio Vanelli, center, and Andy Gordon, Joe Rogers, Romeo Capriotti and Ralph Pasquariello, backs.

They form the biggest and strongest cf Villanova's recent teams. Their average weight is slightly over 100 pounds. DUEL OF FORMATION'S In common with Army, Villa-nova's offense stems from the T. And like Army, a sturdy fullback supplies considerable power. Pas-cuariello, 222-pound freshman, Is the Wildcat line buster.

Satisfied with his team's offense, Olivar stressed pass defense during preparation for the clash with Army, a team which held Villanova scoreless In their last three meetings. Pass defense was the most glaring flaw in Villanova's game last week. Daily practices have produced a definite improvement. And it was pass defense that occupied a considerable part of practice today at Michie Stadium. Louis' Mother Confident He'll Retire With Title ST.

LOUIS, Sept. 20 Louis' mother exhibited certain confidence in her son's ability today. She predicted he would retire while he is still heavyweight champion but "it probably will be another year yet efter a couple more fights." Mrs. Lille Brooks came here from Detroit for speeches in connection with a church building fund cam-pagn. She said Joe may eventually devote full time to his newly-cpened New Vork City restaurant.

SPELL ENDS IN 5TII Vander Meer. who had hurled 24 scoreless innings against the Dodgers going into day's game. ran up four more horse collars before they got to him in the nun inning. Leading, 2-0, as a result of ex- Dodger Claude Corbitt's two-run double in the top of the fifth, Vander Meer was touched for singles by Pinch Hitter Stan Rojek and Ed Stanky before Joe Medwick singled in the first Dodger run.

Then Walker connected with a curve ball and plastered it over the right field screen for his eighth homer of the season. HERRING WINS Art Herring, 39-year-old curve ball veteran, was a surprise starter for Brooklyn. He received credit for his seventh victory, although he was taken out for Pinch Hitter Rojek in the fifth-inning spurt. Hank Behrman, who followed Herring, had to be rescued in the eighth by Hugh Casey with the bases filled and two out. Casey himself was in trouble In the ninth.

After Pinch Hitter Ray Lamanno had reached base on Pee-wee Reese's error and went to second on Ben Zientara's second single, Al Libke dropped a double into short left to score Lamanno and send Zientara to third. Casey then applied the brakes and struck out Ray Mueller, a dangerous hitter at Ebbets' Field all season, to end the game. Marion Ready to Bolster Cards in Chicago Series CHICAGO. Sept. 20 (AP) Back west for a three-game series with Chicago's Cubs before heading home to finish the season, the front-running St.

Louis Cardinals tonight were buoyed by the news that Shortstop Marty Marion probably would be back in the lineup for tomorrow's opener at Wrigley Field. Rested yesterday at Boston when his ailing back made it difficult for him to bend for ground balls, Marion tonight reported feeling much better. Ruel to Manage Browns, Report By BOB SUITS ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20 (AP).

Herold D. (Muddy) Ruel is expected to come here to sign his first major league con-trnct tomorrow to manage the St. Louis Browns. The fl nn p- ment will be A 11 icvs-4. C4.

iwg JK oiuwils unite at Sportsmans. Park. Richard C. M- r-man, ice and fuel dealer and president of the Browns, has called a press conference for 9.30 MIDDY KIEL A. M.

(E.S.T.) tomorrow. Ruel's contract terms were a matter for speculation. Reports were that he would receive $20,000 or more annually with a sliding-scale bonus based on attendance. Opinions also differed on whether the contract would run two or for three, years. ST.

LOLIS PRODUCT The 48-year-old Ruel started his professional career on St. Louis sandlots and played in 10 games with the Browns in 1915. He gained his greatest fame with Washington as Walter Johnson's last battery mate while the Senators were winning the American League pennant twice. He returned to the Browns briefly in 1933 and was picked up by the White Sox as a coach and assistant to Jimmy Dykes. Ruei, with a law degree from Washington University here in 1923, is a recognized authority on baseball law.

He is now an executive of a North St. Louis bank, is married and has four children. Muckerman asked for the resignation of Manager Luke Sewell a month ago and since then Zach Taylor, a coach under Sewell, has been piloting the club. Stakes, six-furlong highlight of the week-end program tomorrow at the Atlantic City race track. Redoubta ble Peace Harbor, winner of the New Jersey Futurity at Monmouth, prob ably will rule a slight public choice over Miss Kimo, top-weighted at 121 pounds.

Peace Harbor, assigned 118 pounds, will be coupled with Cellophane, 112, a Camden winner, in the Brookmeade Stable entry. The brown son of Easton-Alexandria has won four of his seven starts. He was fifth to Cosmic Bomb in the Cowdin last week at Aqueduct, second to fleet Jet Pilot in the National Stal lion Stakes at Belmont. Jimmy Lynch rides. JEMAS ON MISS KIMO Miss Kimo, who will be handled by Nick Jemas, has won four stakes for William Helis, New Jerseys fore most owner and breeder.

She took the Rosedale at Jamaica, a division of the Polly Drummond at Delaware Park, the Pollyanna at Arlington and the Rancocas at Garden State Bobanet Stable's Lovely Imp, who gained the other share of the Polly Drummond honors, will shoulder 115, with Jockey Don Padgett doing the honors. She will have Glen Heather, a maiden, for a running mate. The Bobanets may rule third choice. Sylvester W. Labrot, Repand twice a sparkling winner at the Garden State meeting, will pack 118 and be manned by Johnny Gilbert.

HORNPIPE ENTERED One of the chief points of interest in the King Neptune will be the showing of Glen Riddle Farm's Hornpipe, who scored at first asking last week at Camden. With Carson Kirk up, the big brown son of War Admiral will carry 112 pounds, the support of many racegoers and the hopes of the Delaware county establishment which regards him as one of its brightest prospects in many a day. Rock Hill Farms' Virginia Beach, a Johnstown filly who skipped out of maiden ranks at Garden State, and Maine Chance Farms' Nightlife, a maiden son of Eight Thirty-Decolte. who cost $31,000 as a yearling, complete the field. Sammy Walters has the mount on Virginia Beach.

Nightlife will be piloted by Wayne Wright, who rode Mahout to upset triumph over Assault in the Jersey last week. THE RHYMER SCORES The Rhymer, who was the hero of the '42 $50,000 Widener at Hialeah, staged a remarkable comeback when he won, galloping, in one of today's features, the $3500 Modiste at a mile and a furlong. With Bobby Per-mane up, the eight-year-old St. Germans horse, lightly regarded at $12.60. finished five lengths before A.

M. Bank's Offenbach, with Grant Thorn's Fire Sticky a nearby third. The favored Seeing Eye beat only one horse in the allowance test. Absent from the races since 1943. The Rhymer served at stud last spring, then finished unplaced twice in Camden races.

He followed Offenbach's pace into the stretch turn today, went to the front and drew out to surprise mdt of the 9328 witnesses who wagered $975,609 during the day. Riding star of the day was Apprentice Jimmy a o. who brought home three winners; American Wolf Ghazala ($9.20) and Felt Hat John B. Kelly, president of the track, in an address to the Rotary Club today, said the Atlantic City Racing Association plans to construct a hospital near here "in appreciation for the wonderful cooperation received from residents."

He saw service in three w-orld series before he retired In 1918 to take over baseball coaching at Dartmouth. Big Jeff or the Bear as he was called by New York Giant fans was one of John J. McGraw's ideal pitchers. Big, burly and tough he could stand any amount of hard work and he carried the Giants to more than one pennant. During the hectic 1912 National League race which the Giants won.

Big Jeff captured 17 games against seven defeats while Christy Mathew-son turned In 23 victories against 12 defeats and Rube Marquard had a 26-11 dot. In the thrilling World Series against the Boston Red Sox that fall which lasted eight games Big Jeff faced Smoky Joe Wood, Boston's best pitcher in three of the games, losing the first two by scores of 4-3 and 3-1, but taking the third, which was the seventh game by 11-4. a business engagement Philadelphia tomorrow and could not play dis qualified himself from con sideration for the medalist prize. DRIVING TRUE, LONG Hyndman, Philadelphia stag: playing from the host club, made a determined and, until the last three holes, apparently successful bid for his third straight medal. Using a brand new driver, Bill was lashing the ball far and straight, missing only one fairway the entire round, and, on the 16th tee, standing two under par.

But on the par three 17th, Bill missed the green and "took a four, and then on the par five 18th, 25 feet from the pin in two and a birdie in sight, half missed his chip, and wound up with a five. Overton had played the same holes in three, three, four, birdie, par, birdie, making a great recovery shot on the home hole after trapping his second. With a No. 4 wood, he sliced the ball around the dogleg fairway and it rolled four feet from the cup. BAG FOUR BIRDIES Overton and Hyndman each bagged four birdies, three of them an the par five holes.

Spencer three-putted three times, while Bill never holed anything of consequence except a 12-footer on the 15th. Overton, slight, bespectacled and 48 years old, won the Maryland amateur for the second time last year; twice took the top prize in pre-war tournaments at nearby Sea-view, and last year went to the semifinals of the Fraser event before he was stopped by Howard Everitt, who in turn lost to Cary Middle- coff in the final. Middlecofl is not defending. Everitt, the current Pennsylvania amateur king from Manufacturers, tied Al Besselink, the young Spring Hill, N. ace for third place at 73 today.

Jock Sutherland's Pittsburgh Steel-ers opened the National Football League season tonight with a 14-7 victory over the Chicago Cardinals on muddy Forbes Field before a capacity crowd of 33,700. It was a typical Sutherland club that pushed over two touchdowns in the first half and fought doggedly when the Cards threatened time and again as Paul Christman and Ray Mallouf tried to pull the game out of the fire.

Pittsburgh scored its first touch down In the opening period after End Bob Davis recovered a fumble on the Cardinals' 45 Bill Dudley, Merlyn Condit and Steve Lach hammered to the eight yard- line. Condit lost a yard. Bill Dudley's short pass was incomplete and Dudley then tossed a touch down pass to Quarterback Charley S-eabright. Pittshurch Po. K.

cf b-Krry BILL HYNDMAN W. Chester Beats Moravian, 13-6 BETHLEHEM, Sept. 20. West Chester Teachers College, taking quick advantage of two breaks in the second half, piled up a lead here tonight and held off a rallying Moravian eleven to win, 13-6, before 6000. Toward the end of the third session in a scoreless battle.

Warren Lowans recovered a fumble by Ernie DeAngelis on the Moravian 19. Dave Kirk took a lateral from Frank Buchy and galloped to the eight, then scored off right tackle. Quen-tin Diedrick converted. SHOVER SCORES Early in the fourth period, after a field goal attempt from the 18 by Diedrick was low, West Chester regained possession on the Moravian 19 when Polis intercepted a pass by Frank Weaver, Shover slammed through for nine, and Rickcnbach made it a first down on the eight, and Shover sprinted around left end for the tally. Diedrick made the point but a penalty nullified it and his second attempt missed.

Moravian got its chance when Rickenbach's punt was blocked by Jim McConologue and Demichael recovered on the Ram's one. DeAngelis flipped a lateral to Bill Reichl for the score. Neff 's try for the extra point was blocked by the entire Ram line. Moravian West Chester Mustln Lowans Coren Williams Boccelli Oscliell Leonard Buihy Easton Kirk Died ick 0 0 6 7 1.1 Jasso L.E.

And then what did he do? He isrnored the buoy marking one nd of the course, and put-put- putted happily down the Potomac, a miie, and hustled bacK on tne course. For a time it looked as if he still might make a race of it. And then what did he do? He cut inside the end buoy and had to circle hastily to get back on tie main line. He finally wound up only a half miie behind the winner. Warren Kenny, of Homestead.
