THE CLARION-LEDGER, JACKSON, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1949 PAGE 3 Kentucky and IS loom Stronger ne-Sided Wins SECTION TWO LSU Trounces Texas Cadets 34-0 Berra Holds Respect For A. Reynolds Larry (Yogi Berra. who has caught each of the New York Yankees three victorious world series games, herewith gives his impressions of the outstanding single feature of the series to date Yankee pitch Wildcats Win Another 25-0; Georgia Falls Lexington. Oct. 8 Georgia forgot a football lesson it should have mastered two years ago and its fatal blunder tonight, opened the flood gates for a 25-0 rout at the hands of Kentucky before a homecoming crowd of 36,000.

Ponder Comes From Behind To Take Belmont Victory New York, Oct. 8 Lfi Ponder came from far back to win the $54,400 Jockey Club Gold Cup today for Calumet Farm before at Belmont Park. Flying Missel was second and Miss Request third. Ponder took over when his sta-blemate, Coaltown, was scratched early in the afternoon, to duplicate the feat of another Calumet star-Citation which copped the gruelling-two-mile event last year. Winner of this year's Kentucky Derby, Ponder was clocked in 3.22 4-5.

Ponder, the odds-on favorite. re- Jordan Is Show In Tech Victory Atlanta. Oct. 8 Ufl Junior size Jimmv Jordan turned a peaceful Washington and Lee-Georgia Tech football game into a flashing, flank attack today as Tech's light legion won, 36-0. Except for the moments when the 145-pound Jordan was sweeping the flanks of the Virginia Generals, the game was flat and filled with fumbles.

A hot crowd of 22,000 was mostly quiet except when Jordan was loose. The mite from Birmingham, Ala, remained loose most of the time he was in the game. He scored two touchdowns on long scoots along Washington and Lee flanks, set up a third touchdown and used his measley weight to beat the Generals in the middle. In the second quarter Jordan be came an All-America if only for 15 minutes. He got off the first warlike run of the game Just after the period opened.

It was a 75-yard flanking movement, following a punt. The Generals were trying to regroup when Jordan came through with another strike for a touchdown. This push was in one run for 55 yards and followed another W. and L. kick.

Then as if to prove his lack of weight was a help instead of a hinderance, Jordan set up Tech's tnird touchdown. He scooted and wormed his way 22 yards to the Virginians' three-yard line. Big Morris Harrison broke the Generals' front wide open to score the touchdown. Bobby North kicked two placements but a third was blocked. However, the last five minutes of the game finished the ruin of W.

and L. Tech tackle Clay Matthews blocked Jim Stark's kick and W. and Charlie Holt fell on the ball for a safety. Two quick touchdowns followed. Jimmy Southard passed to end Ferris for 44 yards and another score.

Tech's Bill Scharfschwerdt threw to end Colin Anderson for the final touchdown. North and Buck Doyal converted.

Baton Rouge, Oct. 8 MV-Louisiana State brushed aside three years of gridiron gloom here tonight and walloped Texas A 34 0 on passes, plunges and pure class. The intersections! fray was witnessed by about 30.000. mostly LSU partisans thirsting for Tiger touchdowns. LSU fullback Ebert Van Buren, like his brother, professional football Steven Van Buren.

battered through the line for healthy gains. Precision blocking in the line and down field gave him plenty of room to stretch his legs. Playing his heart out for the outclassed cadets was little Glenn Lippman, a scat halfback who whizzed through the Bengals on loping punt returns and sweeps. Aggie defensive star was Big Jim Flowers, a tower behind the line. Louisiana State scored In every period.

Touchdowns came on three passes, a 62-yard run by Van Buren and a two yard sneak by Quarterback Carroll Griffith. Griffith place kicked all but one extra point. Cadet Quarterback Don Nicholas was able to connect with only a few tosses in the gumbo-like field, churned up after being muddied by a pre-game rain. He was rushed throughout by the big Bengal forwards. The Aggie ground attack likewise was battered to a standstill by the LSU line.

Best ground gainer for the Cadets was fullback Bob Smith, but he couldn't hold the ball several times and lost It on fumbles. Bill Terry Being Sought By Cincinnati By PAT ROBINSON New York. Oct. 8 INS The Cincinnati Reds would like to land Bill Terry to manage their ball club next year. And if Terry isn't available, the rhinelanders would like their present coach.

Luke Sewell. Warren Giles, astute generalissimo of the Reds, doesn't try to conceal his admiration for the old First Baseman Terry, former manager of the Giants. "I've been talking to Bill," Giles admitted today, "but I don't know if he could afford to quit his successful business career in Memphis for what we could afford to pav him. And we could pay him plenty." Terry probably could be Induced to put his name to a contract provided he could buy into the club. Don't raise any eyebrow at that Terry always has been a big money maker and we feel sure he wouldn't have to do a day's work again if he didn't feel so inclined.

it Bill loves baseball, more probably than any of us ever gave him credit for. He Is a born leader and the Reds could make no better choice. Warren said: "We have had at least 50 applications for the job since Bucky Walters went out. Among them was Paul Richards. who has proved a success in the minors and who has been prominently mentioned for the Cincinnati Jod.

"I admit we've had him under consideration. But I note that although he was a success as a manager in the minors, the Detroit club, with which he is connected, passed him over and chose Red Rolfe instead to manage the Tigers. That makes us wonder if Detroit had a reason for by-passing From other sources we learn that Buckv Harris has been offered the White Sox post but is fighting shy of a disagreeable job. IYie Washington managerial job also is wide open but nobody, except a down and outer, would take this one as a gift. We also hear that the Cleveland club definitely has not been soid but is just as surely on the market.

And. if there is a change in ownership there also mav be a shift in managers with Lou Bou-dreau going on the market strictly as a player. We also learn from Chicago sources that Frankie Frisch will have a larger sav in all contractual and trade negotiations this winter. Chicagoans insist that Jimmy Gallagher, once the all-powerful master of the Cubs, is now merely a figurehead and that he will take orders from Frisch Notre Dame Beats Purdue Team 35-12 Lafayette, Oct. 8 Dame ran up a five-touchdown lead over Purdue's footcall team today and broke the elastic Western Conference cl fj, 35-12.

It was practicrlly the Purdue team tVnt held Notre Dame to a one-point victory list but its tw ouchdown rr.Uv in the final period wai only a gallant gesture. Notre Dane's v.cal.h cf fleet backs a id i' vexior had the gar.c i.i full control after an early Purdue drive died on the Irih 7 ycrd mark. Emil (Seven-Yard) Sitko. Notre Dame's sturdy fullback, ran over the first three Irish touchdowns. He got the first quarter's only score with a 41 yard dash and added the other two.

In the second period with short plunges. Notre Dame's lineup was sprinkled liberally with reserves in the final quarter when Purdue cut its losing margin from five touchdowns to three. An all-time record crowd of for enlarged Ross-Ade stadium saw long runs galore and practically no passing. Notre Dame's Bob Williams tried only four nasses and completed but one. Purdue backs took to the air 11 times, completed two passes and had four Intercepted.

Purdue backs gained '18 yards on the ground to Notre Dame's 84, but Purdue was hurt by the Irish pass Interceptions and two ball losses on fumbles. Muggy heat at 83 degrees had the players sopping wet, but only speeded them up. SAFE BY A TOE Yogi Berro, Yanks' catcher, toes third base as he falls away from attempted tag by Brooklyn third baseman Eddie Miksis (34) in the first inning of fourth World Series game Saturday.

2 is Yanks' Coach Frank Crossetti. (AP Wirephoto). ing. By LARRY (YOGI) BERRA New York Yankee Catcher New York, Oct 8 (INS) Allie Reynolds was very fast today and he really poured them in there after relieving Eddie Lopat in the sixth inning. I would say that, even with only two days' rest, he was faster than in his two-hitter on Wednesday.

Where he used a great variety of pitches Wednesday, we didn't need much but the fast one today. You can see that it worked as he retired ten men in a row, half of them on strikeouts. Lopat was going along fine until that sixth. He seemed to tire all at once, and I could tell he "was losing some of his stuff. I guess the Dodgers could tell it, too, as they got to Mm for seven hits.

Our pitching has really been good in this series. It is no accident that those Dodgers haven't been hitting. I finally got my first hit today. My left thumb, which I broke several weeks before the end of the season, still is all swollen up. It doesn't hurt much when I'm catching, but it bothers me a lot at bat.

Don Newcombe didn't seem nearly as fast today as he did against us on Wednesday. He was still tough enough for me, though. I thought we had him on the wav out in the first, but he got out ofi a oaa note wnen my grounder to third was turned into a double play. And then, after we filled the bases the same Inning, Duke Snider pulled down Gene Wood-ling's fly to center for the third out. My hit came off Joe Hatten, a left hander, although I usually have trouble hitting the lefties.

I just wish I had two good hands to hit some of the good balls I've had thrown at me. But after today I think we have Brooklyn really on the run, and I guess it doesn't matter who gets the hits as long as we win. Whippets Trample Louisville, 26-6; Top Choctaw Loop Louisville, Oct. 8 The powerful Kosciusko Hi Whippets trampled the mighty Louisville Hi Wildcats to the tune of 27 to 6, Friday night before some 5,000 fans.

The defending Southeastern Conference Champions erred in letting Emery Clark squeeze through a narrow gap near midfield with a Georgia punt and the sophomore safety man outdistanced the field for 60 yards and the first score. It was just two years ago on the same field that Don Phelps returned a punt for the same distance and a touchdown against Georgia to open the way for a stunning 26-0 upset for Kentucky.

Rutter's kick was again no good and the Florida eleven led by the score of 14 to 12.

Strauss, passed to Hewitt on the Braves 10 yard line.

Parrish picked up two and on the next plav skirted left end for the score. Hanson's kick was good. Florida State led at the half by 21-12.

The Tulane powerhouse dominated thi game in all departments as 20,000 drenched fans watched.

The smaller opponents never were able to make any progress on the ground. Bill Svoboda, Tulane right halfback, powered the Greenies during the first half with straight line Southeastern's only weapon was the passing combination of quarterback Gene Simmons and end Noel Wilkins. Tulane gave Simmons no time to get set and most of his passes good for only short distances. Tulane scored first after ten minutes of play. Wilking was rushed on a punt attempt and Tulane took over on Southeastern's 48.

Hinds Baby Eagles Run Over Bentonia Raymond, Oct. 8 Scoring In every period, the Hinds Baby-Eagles ran roughshod over a lightweight Bentonia squad to the tune of 33 to 6 last Thursday night on the Hinds Athletic Field.

Led by Paul Edwards, 155 pound lefthalf, who scored three touchdowns on Jaunts of 18, 34, and 9 yards, the Eagles experienced little difficulty with the light but spirited Bentonians. The Yazoo County team revealed a fine triple-threat back in Marvin Bradford. Operating at quarterback in the T-formation ana switching to tailback when his team used the single-wing, Bradford gained 85 yards in 12 rushing tries for a 7.25 average. Three times on fourth down, he faired punts, each time making the necessary yardage. Hinds initial tally came midway ih the opening stanza after they drove, from midfield.

to the Bentonia 18. Taking a pitchout from Quarterback Jim Wood, Edwards swept around his own right end and went the distance unscathed. Jack Hickingbottom's kick for the extra point was not good.

Bradford Helps Defeat Wildcats 21-7 Minneapolis, Oct. 8 UFi Minnesota throttled Northwestern's attack for three periods and took a 21 to 7 decision today.

The Minnesota defense proved too much for the Wildcats. It wasn't until midway in the final period that Northwestern could score, the ball in midfield and they combine short passes over the line with- enough running plays to work the ball to the Gopher one-yard line. Right half Rick Athan made the tally after fumbling and picking up the ball on the run. Guard Eddie Nemeth added the point. Minnesota uncovered an unheralded potential star.

Dick Gregory, sophomore from Billings, Mont. Scored two Gopher touchdowns and contributed some very pretty broken field running for important gains. Gregory came into the game after Left Half Bill Bye was injured early in the second period, but from then on be was a headache for Northwestern. Bye suffered a groin injury. i Pearl City Takes Victory Oyer Georgetown 25-0 The Pearl City High school team smashed out a 25 to 0 victory over Georgetown here Friday night.

Columbia Loses 33-18 To GCMA Columbia, Oct. 8 Gulf Coast Military Academy defeated Columbia here Friday night 33-18 in a much more one-sided grid game than the score indicates. Weigel of GCMA scored four of the visitors' touchdowns, once early in the first quarter, once in the second, and twice in the third.

Denman added his tally to the visitors score early in the second quarter. Peggy's first three tries for extra point were good but be failed on the last two. The Columbia boys were greatly encouraged in the third quarter when Max Thornhill took a pass from D. Jordan in midfield and raced 50 yards to score. Coming back strong in the fourth quarter, the local boys scored two touchdowns.

D. Jordan plowed through the line from the one yard line to score, then tossed a pass to Pittmam who was standing in the end zone for Columbia's third tally.

STEAM FAILS The Braves started a goalward march in the opening minutes of the second stanza, but it gave out of steam on the Florida State 25. It was James Henderson and David Lee who carried most of the offensive load. However, two incomplete passes and a strong defensive Florida line smashed Lee to the ground on the State 40 on forrih aown.

Florida State started its second TD march from their own 40 where they took over on downs- Red Parish picked up eight yards on a left tackle trip ond then came back to pass 45 yards to Chris Banakas who took the ball out of the outstretched hands of two Choc defenders. The Braves were not ready for the left-handed passing of Parish on the play. An offside penalty against the Braves placed the ball on the 10 yard marker. McLean rammed center to the five and Strauss traveled to the three over hL, right tackle. Strauss smashed the same spot to place the six-pointer on the scoreboard.

Hanson's kicfe was good and Florida State led by the score of 14 to 0. The Braves started a little fire- man. Raymond Fulton and Lennard Macunas, terminals, were on the I receiving end of many Choc pass- es. 1 'Plavintr a hnnff-nn Cimp on dp- fense were Charles Krout, Fulton and Herman Wells.

Buddy Strauss started things with a dash through the middle of the line to the Braves 29. Ken McLean, on two trips at his right tackle, placed the ball on the 16.

The Braves of Clinton showed power in the second quarter to close on the heels of the visiting Floridians and when the two clubs left the field for intermission the Chocs were just two points behind at 12-14. However, in the third and fourth periods the bovs from Florida went off and left the Braves. It was the terrific runs of Ken McLean, Buddy Strauss and the passing of Red Parrish which made the difference in the score. McLean and Strauss, at times, ripped the Choc forewall to pieces. Parrish, a left hander, fooled the Chocs on two occasions to get nice gains via the air lines.
