The Cincinnati Reds took another full game ilea from the St. Louis Cardinals' Katlonal league lead today by whipping the world champs, 4 to 3, in ll-inning go. Big Mort Cooper went the distance for the Cards, giving up 14 hits while Ray Starr gave way In the eighth Inning to Clyde Shoun who got credit for the victory.

The Reds opened up on Cooper IV (Editor's Note: This article was written before Tulane decided it could not play Louisiana State two football games this season.

If football "names" and experience mean anything, gome of the East's major elevens can begin quaking In their cleats right now because those are the things that the Bainbridge Naval Training school Commodores have the "most-est of." Bainbridge naval training station Jumped into the football swim so fast that the nickname Commodores is of Joy to the average college coach these days. For instance there was a guy named Bill De Correvont, whom the nation's football headline readers: heard plenty about when he carried the mail for Northwestern. A a running mate at full-hack. could Insert a fellow named Harvey Johnson, William and Mary's big gun and all-Southern conference ace last year. Looking 'tlnwn the line further Kan Paul Anderson, former I'ur-due hack who helped spark the Great Lakes training station team to Its big 194'! season.

Others Included Chile IMosher, Pittsburgh Steelers tackle last year; Len Akin, a stulwart at guard for the Chicago Bears In 1942; and Howard Hlckey of Arkansas, ex-Oetrolt Lions end who also was with Great Lakes last fall. Maniacl, like any college coach, wouldn't make any specific promises, but he expects a "fairly good passing and running team, and they're big 1 I Lt Cs Make It Two A doubleheader between the pigskin performers of Louisiana State university and Tulane university this season would be a natural now that the University of Alabama has withdrawn from Intercollegiate foot-bull, cancelling games with the Bengals and the Wave. Harry Martinez of the New Orleans Daily States say there Is a possibility that such a program will be mapped out, and personally we see no great reason for It not becoming a reality, since both the Wave and Bengals now have open dates on Oct. 16. A doubleheader would serve several purposes, the chief factor being the financial returns.

Neither Tulane or Louisiana State could arrange a more attractive program for that idle Saturday. Transportation facilities are crowded and housing conditions In New Orleans are bad. and for that reason many Baton RmiKe foot-hall fans will not follow the Tigers to the (Tescent City Nov. 2(1 to see them In the nnnuul tussle with the Wave. If a game between the pair were staged In the state rapllal Oct.

Ifi It would prove a magnet for a tremendous croud. The New Orleans contest would not suffer In attendance from an earlier etent. It Is our belief that such a meeting would arouse more Interest for the November date. A tie game In Baton Rouge would be worth Its weight In gold at the bo office. A defeat for the Wave would rail for greatrr support for a romehack test In the waning werks of the campaign.

A loss for the. Tigers would spur them to greater heights In an effort to square matters. Their determination would spread to the followers of the Bengals. Neither the Wave or the Bengals ran offer any solid reason for not meeting Oct. 16 in the event Louisiana State still has that date open.

1 Ole Lou was scheduled to meet Alabama Sept. 25, and has games booked with Rice, Oct. 2, and Texas A. and M. Oct.

9. Both Texas squads are tough and the Bengals will have to be on edge for these tests. Tulane opens Its season Oct. 9 against the Memphis Air Technical school and Oct. 9 plays the Rice Owls.

Alabama was scheduled to follow Oct. 16, but now the Crimson Tide has retired for the duration. The Tigers had a doubleheader, home and home agreement, with Alabama for this fall. They were to Invade Birmingham Nov. 14 to clash with the pink elephants again.

That was to be a "tune-up" for Tulane in New Orleans Nov. 27. Tulane and Louisiana Slate should give plenty consideration for a "doubleheader." Both universities are Interested In reducing team travel, and a meeting at Baton Itouge Oct. would go a long way toward realizing that. A game with Tulane In Baton Rouge would give the fans of that town an Ideal setup for the first month of the football season.

It would mean the appearance of Kice, Texas A. and tbe (ireenles and T.C.I', in tbe order named.

L.SU.'s athletic director. T. P.

(Red) Heard, announced this morning that a second game between the rivals had been arranged for Oct. 16 but then later said that what had appeared as a definite arrangement had fallen through. The extra game w-hlch would have been played ln Baton Roues at night ln addition to the Thanksgiving week game in New Orleans Nov. 20 was called off when Tulane authorities ran Into difficulties arranging the game with nttvy officials, Heard said. Tulane expects to use navy trainees on its fall squad.

The rivals sought to arrange the extra tut because the action of Alabama ln dropping football for the duration earlier ln the week deprived L.S.U. of two games and Tulane one. The Tigers had scheduled 'Bama twice, home-and-home. Instead of the extra Tulane game, an idea now abandoned. Heard said this afternoon that S.U.
